All the employees looked at each other, unable to figure out who the mysterious expert was.
Li Ruotong whispered in Luo Chao's ear, "Luo Chao, they probably can't trace it back to you, right?"
"What do you think?" Luo Chao replied with a smile.
Li Ruotong's face lit up with a smile, "But even if the police find out, it wouldn't matter, right?"
Luo Chao chuckled, "It's not a big deal, but I prefer to keep a low profile. I wouldn't want my colleagues to think I'm a freak."
Low profile? Li Ruotong giggled at the word, "Keeping a low profile while pretending to be a pig that eats tigers? You're always like this!"
Luo Chao rolled his eyes, unsure of what to say, realizing that he indeed had a tendency to do just that, although he never intentionally provoked anyone.
The room fell into silence as everyone tried to figure out who the mysterious expert was, but no one stepped forward, and no one was identified. The detectives had lost their patience and hurriedly removed the two assassins' bodies.
"Fine, have one of you give a statent, then you can all leave. We'll assign officers to protect each of you, and hope you remain within our sight during these days," said the detective captain of Southeast City's police departnt, waving his hand. Clearly, without any leads, they couldn't find the expert, as even they were filled with curiosity and had no idea which of their colleagues had taken action.
All the employees unanimously chose Chen Mang, the general manager, to give a statent, while the rest headed ho. However, this night was destined to be sleepless, as the earlier incident was too thrilling and alarming, and they feared the assassins might target them.
Fortunately, the police assigned people to protect them, which gave them so peace of mind.
In the quiet of the night, Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi had finished showering and were lying on the bed together, half a ter apart. In the quiet hotel room, they could both hear each other's faint breathing.
"Luo Chao!" Ning Wanxi said softly.
"Hmm?" Luo Chao was startled, about to fall asleep, when President Ning suddenly spoke, causing him to imdiately wonder.
After a while, Ning Wanxi bit her lip and said, "If I could make physical contact with you, would you continue our agreent?"
"What!?" Luo Chao's sleepiness vanished upon hearing this, his eyes widening, unable to comprehend why President Ning would say sothing like this.
Ning Wanxi's face turned a rosy shade, annoyed and shy, "You still haven't answered !"
At this mont, Luo Chao didn't know what to say and quickly replied, "Let think about it first."
Heaven knows why Ning Wanxi said such a strange thing. Luo Chao was bewildered but subconsciously began to ponder the question. If he could touch Ning Wanxi, his parents, and Uncle and Aunt Ning would certainly be pleased!
Lu Feng deeply understood that his abrupt decision to take Luo Chao away had severely hurt Ning Wanxi, leading her to develop a condition from a young age where she avoided contact with n, which escalated into a psychological aversion to them. As such, Lu Feng very much wanted Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi to be together, and Ning Zongze and Qin Yuzhen hoped for that too. They had a childhood engagent, and being a couple was the shared hope of both families!
Luo Chao also deeply understood that if he could touch Ning Wanxi, even if he refused to be with her, his hot-tempered father would certainly chase him with a cleaver, and even his usually supportive mother might cheer for his father.
Luo Chao couldn't defy his parents' wishes, but the premise was to have a wedding night with Ning Wanxi. This was also Lu Feng and Qin Yuzhen's lowest requirent. If broken, the Lu couple would fight to make sure Luo Chao truly marries Ning Wanxi.
After all, the Lu couple really liked Ning Wanxi, as she was a well-rounded, capable daughter-in-law who could host events and handle kitchen duties.
"If you lose your immunity to , I think—I would terminate the agreent and marry you as expected by our parents," Luo Chao said seriously, but he quickly added with a quick change of expression, "But President Ning, your joke isn't funny!"
"Haha—" Luo Chao's laughter grew louder and he couldn't help but laugh heartily. However, his laughter abruptly stopped as he suddenly felt a small finger lightly press into his palm, tickling him slightly.
"Gulp," Luo Chao swallowed hard, his heart feeling like it might leap out. What—what was happening!
After a while, two slender fingers tapped in his palm! Luo Chao's face stiffened, in disbelief as he realized Ning Wanxi was trying physical contact with him!
Luo Chao looked over at Ning Wanxi, noticing her delicate body trembled slightly as she made an effort to try.
When three fingers settled in his palm, Luo Chao felt his heart beating strongly, thump, thump, thump!
Even facing a massive army, Luo Chao had never been nervous, but at this mont, he was. His other palm was sweating.
Because Ning Wanxi was defying expectations!
Four fingers, five fingers, but then, Ning Wanxi held Luo Chao's large hand tightly, unable to contain his excitent any longer. Luo Chao sat upright on the bed, staring at Ning Wanxi in astonishnt, "President Ning, did you already realize you could make physical contact with ?"
Ning Wanxi continued to hold Luo Chao's hand, not letting go. She sat up, leaning gently against the headboard, nodding slightly, "Yes, I found out not long ago. I feel less and less aversion to you. There's sothing about you that's attractive. Maybe because I held you as a child, maybe because you—kissed forcefully, maybe it's your story, or that night you risked your life to save , bit by bit you opened up my heart."
"I just didn't expect that trying it tonight would succeed," Ning Wanxi said, revealing a gentle smile.
It was also the first ti Luo Chao gently held her small hand; her smooth skin was as fair and tender as a newborn's. The feeling was exceptionally pleasant, causing Luo Chao's heart to continue pounding, too astonished to speak.
"But I don't feel anything," Luo Chao revealed a slight bitter smile because Ning Wanxi's deanor was still as cold and unchanging as the first ti they t.
Ning Wanxi playfully said, "Are you complinting my acting skills?"
Luo Chao replied helplessly, "I suppose I am!"
