Chapter 624: Chapter 624

Wu Qiangwei quietly watched him.

Although the lights were off, she could still make out the contours of his face and hear the clicking of his teeth.

Wu Qiangwei wasn’t meeting him for the first time; how could she not tell whether he was pretending or really cold?

It was neither cold earlier nor later, only when she was ready to leave, did he start feeling cold.

And he was exaggerating it so much...

Wu Qiangwei smiled helplessly, sometimes Song Guanchao was like a child who never grew up.

"Are you very cold?"

"Mhm."

"Oh."

Wu Qiangwei got out of bed, and Song Guanchao’s heart sank, thinking to himself how heartless the secretary was.

Watching her leave the room, Song Guanchao stopped pretending and kept sighing, feeling that his acting skills still needed improvement.

Suddenly, Wu Qiangwei returned, and Song Guanchao watched her, holding a quilt in her hands.

"Aren’t you cold anymore?"

"Ah? Cold, cold, brrr~"

"Add another quilt then."

Wu Qiangwei spread the quilt over and asked, "Still cold?"

"Cold, brrr~"

Two minutes later, Wu Qiangwei added another quilt to him.

Song Guanchao was already sweating all over but at this point had no way out and could only continue to claim he was cold.

Until Wu Qiangwei added the fourth quilt.

"Still cold?"

"Cold! Brrr~"

Wu Qiangwei almost couldn’t help but laugh; this man really knew how to put on an act.

"What to do then, there are only so many quilts at home."

Wu Qiangwei pretended to be troubled, while Song Guanchao said, "It’s fine, I can endure it."

Wu Qiangwei said nothing and after a few seconds, she lifted the quilt, crawled in, and brought her warm body close to Song Guanchao, extending her arms to hug him.

Song Guanchao’s body trembled, and his teeth stopped chattering.

"Not cold anymore?" Wu Qiangwei’s tone was shy, with a bit of teasing.

"Cold, brrr~"

Song Guanchao’s heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest.

Wu Qiangwei had actually come in.

But he was too timid to move recklessly.

Wu Qiangwei took his hand and placed his arm on her back, "Hug a little tighter and you won’t be cold."

"Mhm, hmm."

Following her lead, Song Guanchao hugged her waist tightly.

He really wanted to move his hand lower, to touch her bottom, but he didn’t dare.

However, Xiao Song was somewhat uncooperative, rising up like a bamboo shoot breaking through the soil.

Wu Qiangwei’s delicate body gently swayed, her breathing slightly heated, twisting unnaturally.

She arched her hips slightly, trying to avoid his nudging.

But Song Guanchao’s advantage was too great, regardless of how she stuck her bottom out, it was always met with his nudge.

Song Guanchao bowed his head slowly, trying as much as possible not to disturb her.

Looking at the person in his arms, although he could only see half of her side face, at such a close distance, Song Guanchao was content.

If he could steal a kiss, that would be even better.

"Secretary..."

Wu Qiangwei looked up, watching him quietly.

Their eyes were now less than five centimeters apart.

Wu Qiangwei’s eyes sparkled like stars, bright and tender.

In her eyes, Song Guanchao saw shyness, unease, and, perhaps, a hint of love.

Song Guanchao prided himself on being a good judge of character, but now he began to doubt whether he’d misread the situation.

Their gazes met, as if an invisible thread connected them.

Song Guanchao felt as though he had lost control of his body, his head involuntarily tilting down, the two faces drawing ever closer.

Qiangwei’s eyelashes quivered. Her eyes were beautiful, lively and expressive; at work, she was calm and composed, naturally exuding the aura of a strong, independent woman.

Privately, she was calm and gentle, occasionally dropping her guard to reveal a hint of girlish sweetness.

Faced with Guan Chao’s slowly descending face getting closer and closer, Qiangwei instinctively closed her eyes halfway, and her cheeks tilted up slightly as if to facilitate what was to come with Guan Chao.

Her lips parted because Guan Chao could feel the sweet breath emanating from her mouth.

Just as their lips were about to touch, suddenly, the sound of a door opening could be heard from outside.

The house was very quiet, the bedroom door left ajar, the sound of the door at this moment was clearer than it had ever been.

The ambiguous atmosphere that had enveloped them vanished in an instant.

Qiangwei quickly pushed him away, snatching up the blanket to cover his head, and whispered, "Don’t talk."

She then sat up straight from the bed, and as a result, Guan Chao’s hands that had been on her waist naturally fell onto her buttocks and thighs.

Qiangwei fought back the strange sensations from the sensitive areas, listening to the door opening and footsteps.

Then, the living room light came on, and a female voice called out, "Qiangwei?"

Qiangwei coughed and said, "Ru Yi, I’m in the room."

Bai Ruyi walked over, surprised at the sight of the thick blanket, "Why are you covered with so many blankets?"

"It’s a bit cold."

"Ah?" Bai Ruyi couldn’t keep up, touching her forehead: "Do you have a fever? No, you don’t."

Qiangwei brushed her hand away and asked, "What brings you here?"

Bai Ruyi pouted, "What do you mean, can’t I come?"

She huffed and suddenly thought of something, turning her head to look at the master bedroom: "Why are you sleeping here?"

Then, she noticed two pairs of slippers on the floor.

One pair was women’s, the other, men’s.

It seemed she had guessed something, she looked up, gazing toward the side of Qiangwei.

Because of the abundance of blankets, she couldn’t see if there was someone beneath them.

But judging by Qiangwei’s various strange behaviors, there must be someone under the blankets.

And that person was a man!

Bai Ruyi’s eyes brightened instantly, and she grinned, "Qiangwei, how about that toy I gave you last time?"

The two women often chatted about such topics, but Qiangwei had always been unperturbed.

But now, she blushed and said with embarrassment, "What toy, what are you talking about!"

Pretend, keep pretending!

There must be a man under the blanket!

In front of a man, pretending to be a pure and modest lady!

Bai Ruyi said, "I’m talking about that stick I gave you at the bathhouse, how was the experience?"

Under the blanket, Guan Chao remembered.

He had seen that toy.

At the time, Qiangwei had said it was a gift from a friend, which he hadn’t believed.

So it really was from someone else.

Shocked as he was, he thought the voice of the "Ru Yi" outside sounded familiar, but he couldn’t quite place her.

"Qiangwei, shall we sleep together tonight?"

"Go to sleep by yourself."

"But all the blankets are on your side, how can I sleep?"

Bai Ruyi sat up, "Alright, then it’s happily decided. I’ll go take a shower, wait for me."

Qiangwei bit her lip, knowing Bai Ruyi must have guessed there was someone under the blankets.

Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, Qiangwei hurriedly lifted the blanket and whispered, "You better leave."

She didn’t explain why she was sending Guan Chao away, and he, understanding without asking, just felt a bit of regret.

Watching him tiptoe and peek around to assess the situation outside, Qiangwei nearly couldn’t help but to tell him to act normal.

This sleazy behavior made it look all the more like he was sneaking around in an affair.

Minutes later, Qiangwei’s phone vibrated, Guan Chao had sent a message: "Secretary, I’ve left, she didn’t notice me."

Qiangwei was so exasperated she nearly couldn’t catch her breath.

What did he mean "she didn’t notice"?

This seemed even more like an affair!
