Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Du Yuehua walked in from outside the hotel and just happened to see Ye Xiong flirting with the front desk, which immediately pulled her face down.

She had been working herself to death these past two days, hardly getting any sleep, and there he was, finding time to flirt with a beauty.

“Ye Xiong, come to my office,” Du Yuehua commanded.

“This is my phone number. Call me sometime to chat.” Ye Xiong secretly slipped Xiao Hong a piece of paper before following Du Yuehua into her office.

Once they entered the office, Du Yuehua’s face fell, and she glared at Ye Xiong angrily.

“Sister Hua, don’t be so tense. You know frowning can cause wrinkles?” Ye Xiong ignored Du Yuehua’s glare and chuckled.

Seeing his carefree demeanor, Du Yuehua couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“Don’t move, just like that!” Ye Xiong stood up, pointed at Du Yuehua’s bitter smile, and said seriously, “Has no one ever told you how charming your smile is, Sister Hua?”

Pff!

Du Yuehua couldn’t help but burst out laughing, radiating alluring charm.

Ye Xiong swallowed hard. Damn, the allure of this young widow was too strong. Had his will not been so firm, he would have long ago pounced on her, committing acts no better than a beast’s.

“Don’t just sweet talk me, get some work done…” Du Yuehua meant to say to work properly, but afraid that he might misconstrue, she quickly corrected herself, “Do your job well and boost the hotel’s performance numbers. You won’t miss out on the bonuses then.”

“Sister Hua, I’ll definitely work hard until you’re satisfied,” Ye Xiong snickered, like a big bad wolf.

Du Yuehua was speechless again. It only took three sentences before he revealed his true colors, always liking to make risqué jokes.

“In the future, don’t fraternize with the staff inappropriately. You are, after all, the esteemed General Manager of a grand hotel. You may not be doing the job competently, but you should still mind the influence you have,” Du Yuehua reminded.

“Sister Hua, I’ll definitely not do it during work hours,” Ye Xiong promised.

Did this guy mean he could do whatever he wanted after hours?

Du Yuehua was at a loss for words. She waved her hand to dismiss him but suddenly felt dizzy.

“Sister Hua, are you okay?”

Du Yuehua was about to say she was fine when she felt her head spin and her legs wobble, nearly collapsing to the floor.

Ye Xiong rushed over and caught her in his arms, pressing down on several acupuncture points on her head. After a moment, Du Yuehua slowly came to. Finding herself in his embrace, she blushed hotly.

It had been over half a year since she’d been this close to a man since her husband’s death.

Now, being held by Ye Xiong, her heart stirred as though nudged by a fawn, feeling both fear and desire, yet her feminine pride still made her struggle to sit up.

“I might be just overworked these past few days. It’s nothing. Thank you,” Du Yuehua pushed Ye Xiong away.

Ye Xiong held Du Yuehua, the mature fragrance of a woman assaulting his desires, although at this moment, he harbored no thought of taking advantage. Instead, he began to worry.

“I’m taking you to the hospital,” Ye Xiong made a swift decision.

“There’s no need. I’m fine.”

“This could be serious or not. How can you be sure without a check-over? Have you forgotten the car accident you had?” Ye Xiong said seriously.

This was the first time Du Yuehua saw Ye Xiong with such a serious expression. She realized that a focused Ye Xiong possessed a unique charm, far more attractive than his usual insouciant demeanor.

Before she could agree, Ye Xiong picked her up and started walking outside.

“Ye Xiong, put me down quickly, let me walk by myself,” Du Yuehua urged anxiously.

As a divorcee, if people saw her being carried out of the office by Ye Xiong, what face would she have left?

“Can you manage?”

“Trust me.”

Ye Xiong set her down, and after Du Yuehua tidied her somewhat disheveled hair, she returned to him and said, “Let’s go!”

An hour later, Ye Xiong and Du Yuehua visited the hospital. After a full body checkup, they found out that it was just because she hadn’t recovered from the car accident, her blood sugar was too low, and she had been overworking herself, causing her to faint. There was nothing serious.

“The doctors said not to overwork yourself, did you hear that?” Ye Xiong said with a sigh of relief.

“You have the nerve to talk, as if it was not because you were so carefree with your responsibilities that I ended up fainting from exhaustion,” Du Yuehua gave him a scornful look.

Although she said this, she didn’t really hold it against him. All she wanted was for Ye Xiong to take good care of the company’s security. The rest of the tasks were indeed too much for him.

Besides, she couldn’t relax either! If she weren’t at the hotel, it wouldn’t be out of the question for this guy to flirt with every single waitress there.

“You go home and rest. I’ll handle the remaining work,” Ye Xiong said with a sense of guilt.

“I have an appointment with a foreign client today. He’s arriving at noon, and I have to have lunch with him. This foreign client is very important; he’s the deputy head of a major overseas company’s foreign branch, and he decides to make our hotel the designated accommodation for their company’s trips to Huaxia Country,” Du Yuehua said.

“It’s just a foreign client, leave him to me,” Ye Xiong patted his chest confidently.

“You, who don’t even understand what they are saying,” Du Yuehua said with disdain.

“Don’t we still have Xiao Mei?” Ye Xiong nonchalantly insisted, and he forcefully sent her home to rest.

Du Yuehua’s home was a beautifully decorated five-story villa in the city center. Perhaps because it was seldom lived in, the interior was very cold.

“This house, you can tell at a glance that it’s yin heavy and yang light. Sister Hua, I should come over more often and help balance it out for you,” Ye Xiong joked.

No sooner had he turned serious for just a moment, he was back to his carefree self again, and Du Yuehua couldn’t be bothered to deal with him.

“Go and meet the foreign client with Xiao Mei. I’m warning you, you have to be serious. If you don’t land this client, you have only yourself to blame,” Du Yuehua stated beforehand.

“What’s my reward if I do get the client?”

“This is within the scope of your job, what reward are you talking about?” Du Yuehua replied.

“Without a reward, where will the motivation come from?” Ye Xiong glanced at her rosy lips, chuckled, and said, “If I land this client, you kiss me. How about that?”

“Asking for a beating,” Du Yuehua raised her hand as if to teach this fellow a lesson.

But as soon as her hand came down, it was caught by Ye Xiong. He sniffed it and teased, “Sister Hua, your hand smells so good.”

Du Yuehua’s face turned crimson, and she suddenly felt very nervous.

In that moment within the villa, there were just the two of them, a man and a woman alone. If Ye Xiong couldn’t control himself and assaulted her, what could she do? Especially as she had clearly seen a hint of burning desire accumulating in his eyes.

With that thought, she suddenly wriggled free from Ye Xiong’s grasp and ran back into the room, tightly closing the door behind her.

After entering the room, she noticed her heart was pounding fiercely, almost leaping out of her chest.
