Chapter 82 - 081: Zhizhi still wants to torture me several more times

"What do you want to ask?"

"Are you a collector?" She gestured towards the items hanging on the wall and those displayed on the bookshelves. "You have a lot of them at home too."

"You could say that." Shi Wei followed her line of sight, his eyes soft with a faint smile. He asked knowingly, "Do you like them?"

"Mm." Yu Zhi admitted openly, without hiding her preferences.

"Which one do you like?"

His meaning was clear. Yu Zhi quickly shook her head, saying, "No, these things are too expensive." Besides, last time she had already taken a jade item.

Oh, right, and there was the plum blossom.

"You." Shi Wei leaned down and gently tapped the tip of her nose indulgently. "Don't be polite with me."

His gaze was so intense that it made her feel a bit uncomfortable. She turned away and started ushering him out. "You should get back to work."

Shi Wei chuckled softly and didn't tease her further. After all, he was at the company for business. Only after completing his tasks would he have time to spend with her.

With him gone, Yu Zhi propped her chin on one hand and spent a moment admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Her gaze, however, repeatedly wandered back to the man.

He was dressed impeccably in a suit, with a silver shirt underneath. The top two buttons at his collar were undone, revealing his collarbone and Adam's apple.

His fingers moved rhythmically over the keyboard, and with every tap, the veins on his hands shifted beneath the thin skin.

Yu Zhi stared blankly. Though she had seen handsome people before, for some reason, Shi Wei gave her a completely different feeling.

He seemed to have many sides—gentle, flamboyant, sharp, domineering, and more.

Yet no matter which side he showed, she never felt even a trace of dislike towards him.

"Zhizhi, come here." Shi Wei stopped typing and waved her over.

He had noticed her gaze from the first moment she looked at him. He held back for a long time but ultimately couldn't resist her lingering stare.

Yu Zhi hesitated for two seconds before getting up and walking briskly to his side. "What is it?"

Shi Wei didn't reply. Instead, he took her hand and pulled her forward, seating her sideways on his lap.

By the time she realized what had happened, Shi Wei was already holding her waist, leaning against her shoulder while continuing to type on his computer.

"What are you doing?" Yu Zhi froze, not daring to move. Her hands, hanging awkwardly by her sides, felt equally restless.

"Zhizhi, let me work for a bit, okay?" Shi Wei kissed her cheek lightly, coaxing her. "Good girl."

The spot he touched turned fiery hot in an instant. Yu Zhi's face flushed deeply, and her soft caramel almond eyes rippled with emotion.

She maintained this posture for an unknown amount of time, but eventually, Yu Zhi couldn't hold back and shifted slightly.

That small movement brought the sound of typing to a halt, leaving the office eerily silent.

Realizing something was off, Yu Zhi hurried to explain, "Sorry, I didn't mean to. I just—"

Before she could finish speaking, she felt the hands around her waist tighten, as if he were trying to embed her into his very being.

"Hmm? Why do I feel like Zhizhi did it on purpose?" Shi Wei's voice dropped to a husky tone, his gaze darkening, appearing shrouded in a thick haze.

"I really didn't," Yu Zhi protested, sensing his change. She grew frantic and placed her hands over his on her waist. "Let me go first."

Shi Wei's breathing grew chaotic, but his rationality forced him to calm down. He took a deep breath and spoke in a raspy voice, "Zhizhi, just stay still for a while. It'll be fine soon."

Yu Zhi pressed her lips together, her mind now a complete mess, and truly didn't dare move anymore.

After a long while, Yu Zhi sensed his state returning to normal and finally relaxed her stiff back.

Turning her head slightly, she noticed a thin layer of sweat had formed on Shi Wei's forehead, with an unnatural flush tinting the corners of his eyes. He looked no better off than she did.

"Are you okay?" Yu Zhi asked, a little worried. It was her first relationship, but that didn't mean she lacked basic awareness.

At times like this, people usually seem very uncomfortable.

"Is Zhizhi concerned about me?" Shi Wei sighed, somewhat regretting pulling her over. In the end, the only one suffering was him.

Yu Zhi softly murmured an affirmative, feeling apologetic. "I promise I won't move again."

"Again?" Shi Wei suddenly laughed, raising an eyebrow. Teasingly, he said, "How many times do you plan on torturing me?"

Leaning close to her ear, he whispered lowly, "Hmm? Zhizhi?"

"Shi Wei!" Yu Zhi gritted her teeth, calling his name with a hint of annoyance. "You know exactly what I meant."

She turned towards him, glaring. Her flushed cheeks made her soft face even more vivid, though whether it was from anger or embarrassment was unclear.

Shi Wei found her expression rare and utterly endearing, a sight he treasured. His throat bobbed as he restrained the urge to kiss her. "Don't be mad. My fault."

Yu Zhi didn't respond. She lowered her gaze, playing with her fingertips, her long lashes hiding the emotions in her eyes.

"Zhizhi?" Shi Wei grew anxious when she ignored him.

He held her shoulders, turning her to face him, slowly leaning closer until there were only a few centimeters between them. "Don't be mad anymore, okay?"

Yu Zhi raised her delicate almond eyes slightly, meeting his gaze filled only with her reflection. Pressing her lips together, she replied softly, "I'm not mad."

"Really?" Shi Wei gently pinched her cheek. "Don't lie to your boyfriend."

Her skin was so soft that even a light touch left pink marks. It made him wish he could give her a playful bite.

"I didn't lie."

"Knock knock knock—"

The sounds overlapped as someone rapped at the door. Before Yu Zhi could leave his arms, the door swung open.

"Boss, the meeting is in ten minutes—" Chen Cai froze mid-sentence, staring at the scene before him with shock, his mouth agape. "Sorry, sorry, I didn't know you were... in the middle of something. I'll come back later!"

With that hurried declaration, Chen Cai fled the room like his feet were on fire.

Yu Zhi: "..."

She glanced towards the door, her face red, then stood up quietly. "I'm heading out. You focus on your work."

Shi Wei smiled faintly, knowing the girl was flustered. He didn't tease her and resumed his tasks.

About ten minutes later, Chen Cai knocked on the CEO's office door again. Still haunted by the previous scene, he waited this time for Shi Wei's okay before entering.

"Zhizhi, join me for the meeting?" Having just confirmed their relationship, Shi Wei was determined not to let her out of his sight.

Yu Zhi looked at the outstretched hand and hesitated for a moment before placing hers in his.

She tilted her head up at him. "Won't that seem inappropriate?"
