To be honest, Li Jie isn’t very big, can’t be compared to Hai Fu, Yurong, or Wen Qianyi, but because she is petite, she’s actually quite nice, not small at all.

Li Yan started to joke and touched her spontaneously. Their relationship had already changed since returning from City H. They had deep-level contact, even though it was due to special circumstances, it’s hard for familiar men and women to simply ignore it. Both deliberately avoided the issue, not discussing it, as if it were a one-night stand that had passed.

However, since Li Yan started focusing on Jie Rui’s matters, he has met Li Jie more often without avoiding her. All this shows that she’s slowly changing in Li Yan’s heart.

Yet, the relationship between them hasn’t returned to the previous state. In the past, they argued and teased each other, Li Yan found joy and naturalness, but now, even if harmonious, it lacks that feeling. Thus, he can’t clearly tell if his change in feelings towards Li Jie stems from affection or simply a man’s responsibility.

Li Yan, after the spontaneous touch, was slapped away by Li Jie with annoyance, yet he felt a bit relieved inside.

They’ve done everything, and more than once, so what harm is a touch? If Li Jie silently endured his touch, he would feel unnatural, whereas her anger at him taking advantage felt normal and comfortable. This thought even made Li Yan sweat, was this masochism or a teasing complex?

But seeing the possibility of returning to their previous relationship, he seized the chance and continued playfully reaching to hug her: "Haha, why would I mind you being small? Come, let big brother check your health..."

"Pervert!" Li Jie pushed him forcefully away, went to sit at her desk, then coughed, saying coolly, "Consultant Li, it’s office hours now, you should..."

Before she finished, she noticed Li Yan smiling and approaching her side, feeling a bit uneasy, this guy seemed like a shameless thief!

Given their current relationship, she definitely couldn’t rebuke him seriously, or open the door and scream harassment. But seeing him act not as he has recently but like he used to, making her angry and annoyed, oddly released her tension.

Like Li Yan, Li Jie also struggled with the change in their relationship since their return. She doesn’t openly express emotions, so others didn’t notice any changes. She also felt Li Yan’s help and attention were driven by guilt, which made her uncomfortable and unhappy.

Because those days in City H were her happiest, her most treasured memory. She doesn’t feel Li Yan took advantage of her, it was her suggestion after all. So the more Li Yan focused on work to compensate, the more she felt the relationship was fading. She disliked this feeling! At this rate, maybe once Jie Rui’s reform is successful, Li Yan would vanish completely from her life.

That’s why seeing the old annoying Li Yan again made her feel a bit happier. Regardless, this Li Yan was what she was more willing and accustomed to facing.

Before she could speak, seeing Li Yan approaching with that cheeky look, she stopped and scolded cutely, "What do you want to do? Get out! This is my office, business is done, now please leave!"

Li Yan looked surprised, "What did you just say?"

"Say what?" Li Jie was puzzled.

"You said, ’Consultant Li, it’s office hours, you should...’, since you called so sweetly, how could I refuse your request as a man?" Li Yan misinterpreted her words, rubbing his hands.

Li Jie was speechless, coldly laughed, "What I wanted to say was: now it’s office hours, you should leave! Since you’re so obedient, then go out!"

Li Yan sat lazily on her desk and smiled, "Leaving is fine, but there’s a condition. You have to kiss me on your own initiative, then I’ll go."

"No way!" Li Jie instantly rejected, as if joking, this is the company office! If someone sees, how will I maintain my reputation? How to control the security guards?

Li Yan seemed indifferent, "Haha, I don’t mind wasting time here. We have the door closed, no one can see inside, old Zhao is out, a lone man and woman together, who knows what they might think... I wouldn’t know."

"You’re still lingering here!" Li Jie said anxiously.

"Lingering is not bad, I don’t know many outside well, and they might not know our good relationship, I don’t mind if they find out. But will Zhao Chengyao barge in? If he misunderstands..."

Seeing his shameless determination, Li Jie exasperatedly said, "Are you surnamed Lai (sound-alike for shameless) or something?"

Being straightforward, she quickly stood, leaned forward on the desk, and quickly kissed Li Yan’s cheek.

"There! Your threat worked, now get lost!"

Seeing her blushing slightly and glaring at him, Li Yan reached out and grabbed her hand, "It was all OK, but you actually told me to get lost, that’s too hurtful, I’ve decided to punish you!"

"Punish your head! Don’t push it too far!" Li Jie muttered under her breath, trying to pull her hand back with force.

How could Li Yan let her succeed? With a pull, he drew her into his arms and then quickly and precisely kissed her lips!

Of course, he wouldn’t go any further. Being able to kiss Li Jie in the office was already the maximum she could handle. So his hands behaved, not roaming, just holding her for a passionate kiss.

Although they had done everything like a couple during those days, it was different now, in a different setting and situation. She couldn’t remain calm, struggling hard, not cooperating with him, deliberately not letting him have his way.

But Li Yan held her tightly and kissed accurately, so even without her cooperation, unless using her teeth to bite his lips or tongue, there was no avoiding their lips touching despite her resistance.

Unable to break free, Li Jie’s hands started scrambling on the desk and soon grabbed a pen. After a brief hesitation, she stabbed at Li Yan’s butt with the pen tip!

Suddenly feeling a slight prick in the rear, like getting an injection, startled Li Yan. Damn, is this fool planning on shooting me in the rear, like she pointed a gun at someone before?

Fearing the joke had gone too far, Li Yan quickly let go of her, then cleared his throat and moved away from the desk, tidying his clothes, "I have to go, call me later!"

"Hmph!" Li Jie raised the pen in her hand threateningly but didn’t respond to him.

Watching Li Yan open the door and leave, she soon deflated and sat down in the chair, tossing the pen on the desk, then lay on the desk, exhaling deeply, recalling the earlier situation.

For some reason, she felt exhausted, but her heart was excited and stimulated, her spirits lifted. It seemed like... a spark, a spark belonging to her and Li Yan, which seemed to have burnt out prematurely, now appeared to reignite.

She didn’t know how to describe it, just felt that this relational state between them was something she liked and was more accustomed to.

Thinking about Li Yan’s awkward departure, she felt a bit eager and nervous. Now that she had pricked his butt, would he avoid coming next time?

...

After greeting Huang Ying, Li Yan left Jie Rui. Once Zhao Chengyao was settled, he’d naturally call him, which needed no further instructions.

Out in the car, Li Yan drove aimlessly while recalling the earlier sensation. He vaguely felt that after being pushed down in City H, his relationship with Li Jie became more polite and distant, a state that was dull, boring, and futile. If it continued that way, it would surely degrade into mere acquaintances only contacting each other for necessary reasons!

Although he couldn’t figure out his feelings towards Li Jie, no matter what, Li Jie had already become his woman, and if possible, he wanted to keep her around him rather than let their relationship deteriorate.

The unintended incident just now made him feel that their relationship seemed to revive a little. Despite the resistance, the bickering, the opposition, it was their best way of getting along, unlike ordinary people. Perhaps it started like this, and everyone got used to it!

It’s nice this way anyway. No matter what she’s thinking, he’ll just maintain this attitude towards her from now on!

Having made up his mind, Li Yan wanted to drive back to the company but instead turned towards the movie set of "Springtime Leaked," to inspect the progress as the boss, buying some snacks and drinks, to treat the crew a bit, which would help improve relationships. Though the salary wasn’t the best, speed-capturing days on set, giving a little mental comfort might make everyone feel better.

In a supermarket, after sweeping up snacks and drinks, Li Yan drove to the set. At this moment, a phone call came in, surprisingly from Zheng Yixuan.

"Old Seven, what are you busy with?" Zheng Yixuan seemed in a good mood.

"Just working on a movie, heading to the set to check it out. Third Brother, are you looking for me? I can come over right away!" Li Yan knew Zheng Yixuan never calls for nothing, just like he wouldn’t look for Zheng Yixuan without reason — their relationship was amiable — close yet not too close!

"Hehe, no rush. Go work at the set first! Leave some time at noon, let’s have a meal together, introduce you to someone."

Li Yan’s heart skipped a beat, "Old Ten?"

"Haha, you guessed right!"
