Bai Qihan’s hand, which was on the document, clenched so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand bulged. His breathing rate had obviously increased. “It’s a project plan.” After saying that, he abruptly raised his head.

Luo Yun did not expect him to suddenly look at her, and she was immediately met with a pair of cold and deep eyes.

The two of them looked at each other for a while. His face came closer and stopped about a centimeter away from the tip of her nose. They were so close that it almost looked like they were stuck together.

Luo Yun’s hand rested on the seat. As she looked into his deep eyes, many flustered thoughts emerged in her heart. D-does… Does he want to… As soon as this thought appeared in her head, she felt a slight pain on her chin before she could blush shyly.

Bai Qihan pressed on her chin and ran his finger across it. “You didn’t apply the foundation evenly on your face.”

Luo Yun was speechless.

She hurriedly took out her makeup mirror and looked at it. Her chin did indeed seem to be a little uneven! She quickly touched up her makeup.

Bai Qihan lowered his head and continued to look at the project proposal. His side profile was perfect, and his shirt collar was neat and tidy. He even matched it with a collar pin to show his respect. Every detail of his outfit was exquisite.

Luo Yun put away the powder and took out a small box to match her earrings. She was a little late just now, so she was preparing to do it in the car. She had only managed to put on the one on her left ear, but as for her right ear… Due to her injury, it was difficult to keep her hands raised for extended periods of time as they doing do brought her some pain. She looked at the man beside her and said in a clear voice, “Can you help me put on my earring?”

“Just try a few more times.” Bai Qihan rejected her sternly.

“I’ve already tried many times. My wound is starting to really hurt… There’s only one left. Please help me,” Luo Yun said with a wronged expression.

Qiu Ming, who was driving in front, was speechless. Did the madam hurt her brain? Why had she been flirting with the young master ever since the moment she got in the car? And she was so… Brilliant? No matter what was said, getting a man to help you put on your earrings is an extremely brilliant way of flirting with men. She could easily retreat, attack, and defend.

Luo Yun reached out and tugged at Bai Qihan’s sleeve, shaking it slightly. She was really begging at this point, “I can’t possibly only wear one earring when I reach the Luo family, right? That’s impolite.”

Bai Qihan held her earlobe with one hand and looked up expressionlessly. He picked up the earring in Luo Yun’s hand with the other. He tried to attach it, but the design of the little thing was rather complicated. He tried a few times but failed to put it on. He could not help but get closer.

From this angle, Bai Qihan could see her slender neck, her delicate collarbones, her fair skin, as well as the arcs below that rose and fell with her breathing.

At this moment, someone ran a red light in front of them, forcing Qiu Ming to abruptly brake.

Luo Yun’s body was unstable, and her lips brushed past Bai Qihan’s as a result of the sudden stopping of the car.

For a moment, the air seemed to have frozen.

Bai Qihan’s hand involuntarily tightened.

Luo Yun gasped and frowned. “You’re hurting me.”

Bai Qihan turned his face away and suddenly said in a deep voice, “Qiu Ming, do you know how to drive? Did you buy your driver’s license?”

Qiu Ming did not know what exactly had happened in the back seat, but he knew that he did deserve to be scolded for the situation.

Bai Qihan’s legs were disabled, so he was very strict with his driver. He had to ensure that the driver did not spill a single drop of water while driving.

“I’m sorry, fourth master. There was a car that ran the red light in front of us.” Qiu Ming quickly explained.

Bai Qihan did not pursue the matter any further. He retracted his hand and said to Luo Yun, “It’s done.”

“Thank you!” Luo Yun touched her earlobe. She wondered what exactly happened, wondering why her ears felt quite hot, so much such that they even felt like they were burning.

At seven in the evening, Bai Qihan’s car arrived at the Luo family’s residence.

Luo Yun was the first to get out of the car. However, when she stood at the entrance of the Luo family’s residence, she suddenly felt an inexplicable fear. It was her body’s natural reaction. Just how badly was the original Luo Yun bullied that her body would have such a reaction even after her soul had already left?

When she came back to her senses, she saw Qiu Ming pushing Bai Qihan’s wheelchair. She wanted to help, but Qiu Ming dodged her easily. He said gently and politely, “Madam, it is not convenient for you to push the wheelchair since you’re dressed so well today. Please allow me.”

In fact, deep down, Qiu Ming did not dare to let Luo Yun touch the fourth master’s wheelchair. He could not guarantee that this woman would not do something as outrageous as the last time. After all, in his opinion, Luo Yun was very terrifying right now; she did not seem to be in her normal state of mind at all. Previously, she had suddenly let go when she was pushing the fourth master’s wheelchair downhill the last time. If it had not been for the emergency brake that the wheelchair had, the fourth master’s life would have truly been in danger.
