Her fingers moved swiftly, recalling the sewing order of the other buttons as she quickly reattached this one.
After finishing the button, Shen Qi made sure it looked exactly like the others. She reached into her pocket, but the small scissors that should have been there weren't there. Instinctively, she leaned forward, intending to bite off the thread.
Shen Qi moved fast. Lowering her head, she snapped the thread with a crisp bite.
But the button was too close to He Yining's skin.
The moment Shen Qi bit through the thread, her soft red lips brushed across He Yining's chest.
He Yining's phoenix eyes deepened instantly.
This troublesome little rabbit...
Did she even know what that gesture meant?
Only after biting the thread did Shen Qi snap back to reality, realizing what she had just done...
Before He Yining could speak, Shen Qi's face was already burning red.
"S-sorry... I just acted on instinct..." Shen Qi wished she could bite her own tongue off!
What kind of explanation was that?
It would have been better not to explain at all!
"Nice teeth." He Yining's phoenix eyes dropped slightly, landing on the spot where the button was.
That patch of skin was still faintly warm.
Shen Qi wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
This bad habit had stuck with her since her student days. She had been careful to avoid it later on, but today she had slipped up again...
Just as Shen Qi was feeling anxious, He Yining left the spot and pulled out a chair to sit down. "Let's begin."
Seeing that He Yining wasn't holding it against her, Shen Qi let out a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose.
All of He Yining's clothes were custom-made. If she were punished again over this button...
Oh heavens, old debts unpaid, and now new ones added!
Luckily, he was in a good mood today and didn't call her out on her mistake.
From now on, she absolutely couldn't mess up again!
Shen Qi steadied herself before stepping back in front of the mirror to resume work.
His skin, freshly bathed, was full of moisture. Shen Qi's fingers moved quickly, giving it a simple maintenance and care routine.
Her fingertips gently tapped against He Yining's skin, helping the products absorb quickly.
Each tap felt like it landed on He Yining's heart.
He wanted nothing more than to grab those mischievous fingers and press them firmly against his chest.
He knew she was in work mode, but he couldn't help wanting to tease her...
"How long have you been doing this?" He Yining asked in a low voice.
Shen Qi's fingers paused briefly before speeding up again. "Three years. I started before I graduated from college."
He Yining lifted his eyes slightly, his slender gaze narrowing. "What if I asked you to be my personal stylist? How much would you want?"
Shen Qi's fingers paused again, and she quickly replied, "I'm just a small stylist, not internationally renowned. I'm already happy to have the chance to repay my debt."
Are you kidding?
Be his personal stylist?
Was she asking for a death wish?
Once she paid off her debt, she'd get as far away as possible and never see this demon again!
He Yining wasn't surprised by the refusal. The amusement in his eyes grew stronger. "Since you're so short on money, do you think there's any man in the world richer than me?"
Shen Qi's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.
That wasn't the point at all, was it?
Money was good, but you had to live to spend it!
Staying by this demon's side, she'd be hunted down and killed by his admirers sooner or later!
