Bai Youyou put down the tableware in her hand, and closed her eyes for a while before she regained her senses.

It's fine, it's fine to pretend you don't know. It's fine, you've already made your decision, isn't it?

"What's wrong?"

Ye Mingchen turned around and asked as he held the coffee cup, he saw Bai Youyou's pale face and was frozen on the spot.

Bai Youyou shook her head: "I'll be leaving first."

She walked to the entrance of the office and had a cold war with Ye Mingchen for a long time.

The office door slowly opened, and her mood gradually sank. Countless comforts were useless, her lips were pursed, her fingers were clenched, and her back was stiff.

Ye Mingchen walked to the desk, and looked at the screen on it. His eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he shouted: "Wait!"

Bai Youyou turned her head and quickly walked over. She grabbed her arm and held onto her phone with her other hand: "Did you see this message?"

Bai Youyou's heart tensed up, and subconsciously, she shook her head.

If she said she saw it, Ye Mingchen might just go all out and say what he had been holding in for a long time, and then definitely let her leave.

She didn't want to leave yet, but she still wanted to stay by his side for a while longer …

Ye Mingchen frowned: "Liar."

Bai Youyou pursed her lips and did not make a sound, allowing Ye Mingchen to hold onto her hand.

She could pretend that she didn't see the message on her phone. She couldn't care less after all. It would be better to protect the fake warmth first. Even if it was fake, she could still absorb a little bit of it.

"I didn't see it." She paused. "What news did you say?"

Ye Mingchen stared at Bai Youyou, and seeing her innocent expression, his gaze flickered. He could not help but smile slightly, and the anxious expression on his face faded, his grip on Bai Youyou relaxed a bit as he whispered into her ear: "Did you really not see it?"

"Nope."

"Alright." Ye Mingchen held onto his phone, opened the lock screen, and flipped to the message Lin Yuzhen sent: "See it now?"

The phone was directly handed to Bai Youyou, causing her to have no choice but to look at it even if she did not want to.

Bai Youyou's heart sank, and she wanted to take back his hand: "I saw it."

Since he couldn't hide, then forget it.

There were always those who came. It was just that they had arrived a little earlier.

Ye Mingchen put down his phone, ignored Bai Youyou's thoughts, and pulled her to the office's resting room, letting her sit on a small bed.

He half knelt down, released her hands, held her face in his hands, looked at her, and gently smiled: "What do I do, I think … "I like you too much."

As he finished speaking, his ears turned red, and Bai Youyou's eyes lit up. This time, she really suspected that she was hallucinating.

If you're suffering from paranoid personality disorder, you may experience hallucinations, but...

She raised her hand and felt Ye Mingchen's warm hand. Ye Mingchen's breathing was extremely close, and she could feel his warm breath.

Was this also an illusion?

"It's not an illusion."

Ye Mingchen said in a low voice, his voice carrying a hidden hoarseness. His adam's apple rolled, and he kissed Bai Youyou's soft lips, stroking them.

Probing into her mouth with the tip of her tongue, Bai Youyou was forced to open her lips, her eyelashes trembling as she returned a kiss.

He slowly raised his hands and grabbed Ye Mingchen's suit jacket, excitement spreading from the bottom of his heart to his hair, the blood in his body flowing faster and faster.
