Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Please Line Up

"I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling it."

"After all, when I’m with a gorgeous woman like you, it’s not like I’m some kind of saint."

He rubbed his nose and said in a stuffy voice.

"Is that so? So I’m that charming, huh?"

"Then why were you deliberately avoiding me before?"

"What are you talking about? When did I ever avoid you?"

Jiang Fan immediately protested.

"Hmph. What are your hands doing?"

Sun Yanzi snorted softly. Jiang Fan’s hands were currently exploring restlessly.

"It’s just reflex. Pure reflex."

Jiang Fan was telling a bald-faced lie. Even as he explained, not only did his hands not stop, but he also showed no intention of pulling them away.

Sun Yanzi just gave him a light nip before pressing her lips against his.

After a long moment, their lips parted.

"Don’t move. Just lie there, and no peeking."

As she spoke, Sun Yanzi suddenly dove under the covers.

"Be careful. Don’t aggravate your wound."

Jiang Fan was a little worried.

But Sun Yanzi didn’t reply.

’As a virgin, how could he possibly handle this?’

The scene was overwhelmingly tempting for Jiang Fan.

"How was that? Feeling a little better now?"

Sun Yanzi murmured, her breath sweet.

"Is your wound okay??"

Seeing the trace of worry in his eyes, Sun Yanzi felt a sweetness bloom in her heart.

This feeling of being cherished was the best.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

"I’ve already given you your reward for today. Now hurry up and sleep."

Jiang Fan blinked, then suddenly planted a kiss on her cheek.

"This is the kind of reward I like."

"Is that so?"

"Well, then, next time will depend on your performance."

Jiang Fan forced down his excitement, took a deep breath, and calmed himself.

The two of them held each other like that, slowly drifting off to sleep.

The next morning, Jiang Fan was the first to wake, and as usual, he had morning wood.

Sun Yanzi was sleeping soundly, nestled in his arms.

’Thinking back on last night, it all feels a little unreal.’

’That she would actually do something like that for me.’

Just then, Jiang Fan noticed Sun Yanzi’s eyebrows twitch slightly. It looked like she’d been awake for a while and was just pretending to be asleep.

Jiang Fan placed a hand on her waist. "Still pretending? I’m about to start tickling, you know."

"No, no! You’ll mess with my wound."

Sun Yanzi immediately opened her eyes, staring at him with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jiang Fan reached out and gently pinched her soft little cheek. "No reason. I just think you’re really cute."

"What do you want for breakfast? I’ll go get it."

"Can I have a sandwich? A scallion pancake would be good too. A jianbing is my absolute minimum."

"Alright, you can eat those."

He threw back the covers, filling the room with their "fragrance," got dressed, and bolted out the door.

By the time Jiang Fan returned from buying breakfast downstairs, Sun Yanzi had already washed up and was sitting at the dining table.

The two of them chatted as they ate. "Are you going to the office today?"

Taking a bite of her scallion pancake, Sun Yanzi looked incredibly satisfied.

She’d been having nothing but plain congee or water recently. Her taste buds were dying for some real flavor.

"Yeah, I have to. Don’t worry, I’ll just go check on things. If there’s nothing major, I’ll be back early."

’Jiang Fan nodded. If he didn’t go in soon, Li Muwan would probably dock his entire salary for the year.’

’Most importantly, he had sealed the partnership with Rong Anyao for the company, which should come with a bonus. He needed to go feel things out.’

"Okay, then I’ll wait for you here at home."

After breakfast, Jiang Fan changed his clothes and got ready to leave.

Sun Yanzi stood by the doorway, smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, and opened the door for him, looking just like a wife sending her husband off to work.

He drove to the company, but before he could even walk in, he was stopped by Su Qingci. "Where were you yesterday? Why didn’t you go see Mengmeng?"

"The school and the police department sent her so much study material and so many tests. Was that your idea?"

"How can you be such a mean father?! Can a child even finish all that stuff?"

Her mouth rattled on like a machine gun.

"What proof do you have that it was me? Do I have to report everything I do to you? Is it any of your business?"

Jiang Fan walked right past her and into the company.

He left Su Qingci standing there, completely flustered.

Countless talented young men in all of Yang City were pursuing her, and not a single one of them had ever dared to speak to her like that.

Which one of them hadn’t tried to curry favor with her, all smiles and flattery?

’How come, coming from Jiang Fan, I sound like I’m being unreasonable and annoying??’

"What do you mean by that?! Jiang Fan, don’t you run away! What did you mean!"

Su Qingci was livid.

But how could Jiang Fan possibly hear her?

After saying his piece, he’d made a quick getaway, running faster than anyone.

Arriving at the office, greeted by his colleagues’ surprised gazes and various greetings, Jiang Fan’s mood began to improve.

’Who says the workplace is all backstabbing and dirty tricks? Isn’t this pretty great?’

"Alright, everyone! Line up here for kisses, over here for hugs. And if you want to get a room, just secretly send me the room number."

Jiang Fan’s playful words were, naturally, met with a wave of eye-rolls and flirtatious scolding.

"Well, well, look who decided to show up for work. Come to my office."

Li Muwan’s appearance instantly made the entire office so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Jiang Fan gave everyone an unconcerned shrug and followed her into the office, plopping right down on the sofa.

Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought he was some big boss from another company here to discuss business.

"Is Yanzi better?"

Jiang Fan nodded lightly. "She’s mostly recovered. She’s been discharged from the hospital now."

Li Muwan paused for a moment. "So where is she staying now?"

"At your place? Do you think that’s appropriate? Your apartment is meant for one person; it must be very crowded with two."

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Fan’s face. "I get it, boss. I’ll pack my things tonight and come sleep at your place."

"You can’t say one serious thing!"

Li Muwan’s composure broke in an instant, and she threw the folder in her hand directly at Jiang Fan.
