In a room, behind a couch, a man was trying to satiate his thirst that was like a bottomless pit, but the little droplets of water she gave him evaporated into thin air upon contact with his tongue, further provoking his cravings.

‘Xuan Mu, he wants to kiss me, doesn’t he?’

‘Should I remove my hand?’

‘I want to know how kissing feels.’

.....

‘But, teasing him is so fun! ??’

Their moment was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Xuan Mu pecked her hand a few more times, “You call out.” Then, he pecked it again.

Bing Shi shook her head, “I’m not coming out with a tomato face. Don’t tell me MuMu woke up again?”

Xuan Mu answered her silently with an innocent smile. He sat down on the floor; his back against the couch, trying to calm down his burling emotions.

“Thank god I was born a woman. It’s so hard to be a man with that thing of yours,” Bing Shi stood up, patted her dress, and called out, “Come in.”

When an unknown man walked into the room, the sight which came upon him was a silhouette of a woman’s back in a navy blue dress, and she seemed to be fanning her...face?

“Where is Mr. Xuan?” he asked arrogantly.

Bing Shi looked at Xuan Mu, who was sitting on the floor, “Mr. Xuan? He is busy at the moment.” She turned around to face an unknown man with a smile, “And you are?”

“I’m not obligated to answer you,” he answered coldly.

“Oh, it was nice to meet you,” Bing Shi sat down on the couch, “Goodbye.” She waved at him, expressing that she didn’t like his attitude.

“...” He looked at her with furrowed brows, “What’s your relationship with Mr. Xuan?”

“I’m not obligated to answer you,” she chuckled, “Have a nice day.”

Flustered, the unknown man didn’t know what to do. Realizing his previous manners, he apologized, “Sorry, I’m Mr. Xuan Mu’s subordinate. I was told by Mrs. Alex to come here.”

“So, it was Alex,” Bing Shi looked at the suit-wearing man in his late twenties, “What’s your name?”

“Lucas.” Without realizing, he obeyed her question.

‘Lucas, the lawyer?’

A realization came upon Bing Shi, “Hello, I’m Bing Shi... About my relationship with Xuan Mu. I’m his girlfriend.”

‘Did she say, girlfriend?’ “...” Lucas laughed in mockery. ‘Another delusional woman. What does this young lady have to offer? Even Xuan Mu’s secretary Mia couldn’t move him.’

“Why are you laughing? You don’t believe me?” Grinning at him, she crossed her legs in relaxation, “Who should be his girlfriend then?”

“Men like him always end up alone,” Lucas answered in admiration, “He can have whoever he wants. Still, he chose a solitary life.”

“Who chose a solitary life?” An intimidating voice resonated from behind the couch, surprising Lucas. Xuan Mu stood up and hugged his Bing Shi from behind. “Should we kiss? To make him believe you are my girlfriend?” he whispered to her ears; trying out his luck with his third attempt to remake their first kiss.

“No kissing before others,” Bing Shi whispered back, “Go, accompany your admirer.”

“Mr. Xuan Mu?” Lucas looked at his boss, “So what she said is the truth?” Did his boss just hug her?! Lucas glared at the mysterious woman.

Bing Shi smiled innocently at Lucas and gently nudged Xuan Mu to let go of her.

“Yes, my girl,” chuckled Xuan Mu. He let go of her, walking around, he sat next to her and raised a question to his lawyer, “How did it go?”

“Everything went according to your plans. He is in confinement,” answered Lucas unenthusiastically. ‘Who is she? How did she seduce my Boss?!’

“Good, thank you. You could have said it via phone,” smiled Xuan Mu charmingly, “Go take a good rest; it was hard on you. Is there anything you want?”

“N-No.” How could he say that he wanted to see his boss, who was younger than him by twelve years!? He was tired of pretending to be a strong, emotionless man. Xuan Mu saw through him. The worst thing was, he wanted to be ... by him... Coughing, Lucas bowed coldly, about to go out, “I’m going back to the hotel. Mr. Xuan Mu, Miss Bing Shi.”

“Thank you for your hard work. Xuan Mu is always praising you. If it’s helping you, keep on liking him,” Bing Shi’s lips curved up, “We are all adults, no need to be shy.”

“...” Lucas blushed. How could she tell? Did he tell her? He smiled back awkwardly and walked out of the room. Somehow, his body felt lighter.

“When did I praise him before you?” Xuan Mu asked after Lucas walked out.

“A few seconds ago. I just added the word “always”. Bing Shi grinned. “How does it feel like? Working with a man who likes you? Stop seducing them. Why do I only meet people who like you and hate me?”

“It doesn’t feel different. Lucas is like any other subordinate,” Xuan Mu smiled calmly, “Only Mia and Lucas want to sleep with me; they see me as some kind of a dominant. If you have power, money, and charisma, people are going to flock around you. The one I’m trying to seduce is you.”

“You are a good boss,” Bing Shi praised him with a proud smile, grabbing Xuan Mu’s arm. She stood up, “Let’s go; we still didn’t finish our business. I’ve never visited a prison... By the way, seduction doesn’t work on me.”

Xuan Mu looked down at their connected arms with a happy grin, “Want to try me?”

“I don’t dare; I still want to live.” She tightened her grip, “Does it make you happy when I touch you?” It felt surreal, being able to touch her boyfriend without any unpleasant feelings, “My touch is exclusive... Only for you ??.”

“Mm...” Xuan Mu nodded seriously, “My heart is exclusive too... it’s beating...only for you.”

“Aw...Thanks,” Bing Shi giggled delightfully, “Xuan Mu, is this considered an indirect kiss?” She raised her hand and kissed the spot, which had his lips on it a while ago, “Three different kisses in an hour.”

“Three?” He wanted to kiss her giggling lips so much! But without her permission, he could only hold back. “I counted four.”

Grinning, he tilted his head down, leaving a slight peck on her head, showing her which kiss he meant.
