What?!
Yan Xinxin froze in place.
It felt as if her surroundings had suddenly plunged into darkness—a pitch-black room where pain shattered her body and soul over and over...
Watching the change in expression on the little woman in his arms, Mo Chuxi sensed sothing was off.
"Yan Xinxin, Yan..."
"Never."
Yan Xinxin spoke forcibly.
"I could never forgive soone like that."
The arms Mo Chuxi had wrapped around her loosened slightly.
In that mont, he felt as though he had just received a death sentence—as if an invisible knife had slashed at his heart.
She wriggled out of his embrace and turned to face him.
"Young Master Mo, why are you suddenly asking this question?"
"Call by my na."
Mo Chuxi snapped back, voicing his demand.
"I refuse."
"..."
"This is the workplace. You’re my boss, so let’s keep things professional."
Yan Xinxin smiled faintly.
Mo Chuxi stood stunned for a mont. That quietly smiling face seed more and more familiar to him, as if he had seen it sowhere deep in his mories.
"Then I’ll be off. Bye..."
Yan Xinxin turned and started to leave. She had barely uttered the word "bye" when Mo Chuxi cupped her face with his hands.
He leaned closer, his handso face inching nearer, his pale lips drawing closer and closer.
"A Goodbye Kiss."
"..."
"You first."
What the heck! !!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
Hearing his request, Yan Xinxin was speechless for a mont. But after a brief pause, she smiled, pursed her lips, and obediently tiptoed up to press her soft lips lightly against the corner of Mo Chuxi’s mouth.
She only intended for it to be a quick peck, but Mo Chuxi pulled her into his arms, turning passive into active. He parted his thin lips and captured her lower lip.
"..."
Mo Chuxi looked at Yan Xinxin, whose cheeks were now flushed red, his gaze complicated.
"I really need to get back to work now!"
Yan Xinxin pushed Mo Chuxi away with force and spun around, fleeing the scene as fast as she could.
Mo Chuxi stood there, the emptiness in his arms reflecting the sudden hollow in his heart.

Yan Xinxin found herself sowhat distracted at work in the afternoon.
Mo Chuxi’s behavior from earlier lingered in her mind, leaving her feeling unsettled.
Why did he ask such an odd question? And why did he suddenly hug , kiss ?
Yan Xinxin fiddled with her pen, her delicate brows furrowing deeply as she pondered. Lost in thought, she suddenly noticed soone was staring fixedly at her.
The person wasn’t just anyone—it was Lily, the high-and-mighty Tong Lili!
"Hi, Xinxin! It’s afternoon tea ti. It’s your first day at work. Let us know what you’d like, and we’ll treat you!"
A male colleague nearby suddenly approached with an enthusiastic smile.
"Yeah, yeah! We love taking care of new colleagues—especially ones as pretty as you!"
Yan Xinxin hadn’t forgotten how these two n had previously defended Yan Zhirou and joined in insulting her, calling her crazy.
"Um, we’re really sorry, Xinxin. We got tricked by your sister back then and said so unpleasant things to you. We hope you won’t take it to heart."
"Yeah, don’t hold it against us. We’re honestly sorry!"
The two n grinned sheepishly as they apologized.
Yan Xinxin was montarily stunned but felt there was no need to dwell on the past. Besides, they had apologized.
"Wow, look at that! Already treating her like a goddess, huh? When Sunny joined, you guys weren’t nearly this eager to please!"
Tong Lili’s voice rang out sarcastically as she strode over to Yan Xinxin. The other employees in the office turned to look, while Tong Lili shot a smug smile, her eyes glinting with aning as she loudly proclaid:
"I happen to know a shocking secret about Miss Yan Xinxin. You all want to hear it, don’t you?"
