Shen Qi wanted to refuse.
But she didn’t dare!
Right now, aside from carefully coaxing He Yining and working well for him for a year, she had no other choice.
Shen Qi gritted her teeth and replied, “Fine, send me the address. I’ll be there right away.”
She entrusted her household matters to Wei Wei once again, changed her clothes, grabbed her bag, and rushed out.
She was genuinely afraid that if she arrived late, he might get upset and dock her pay!
As soon as she reached the spot, Shen Qi saw Xiao Chun and a few others supporting He Yining as he stumbled out.
Shen Qi quickly approached: “What’s going on?”
Xiao Chun handed He Yining over to Shen Qi without hesitation and said helplessly, “The CEO suddenly lost his temper at the company today, scaring everyone into silence. We have no idea what happened. He’s in your hands now. Don’t you know the password to his bedroom?”
Shen Qi’s eyes widened: “I don’t know!”
“Oh, the password is 441528.” Xiao Chun irresponsibly revealed the password to He Yining’s bedroom.
Shen Qi opened her mouth, stunned.
No way, Xiao Chun!
You’re He Yining’s chief special assistant’s top aide!
How could you so carelessly tell someone else his bedroom password?
Xiao Chun waved at Shen Qi and said, “Just trouble you to take the CEO back. Here are the car keys… We have to go back to the company to calm down the employees he scolded. That’s it! Bye!”
With that, Xiao Chun and the other three bolted away!
Shen Qi stood there alone, supporting He Yining and holding the car keys, completely frozen in place.
They… just ran off so irresponsibly?
Xiao Chun and the others’ inner thoughts: CEO, this is all we can do for you… Take care tonight!
Shen Qi turned to look at He Yining leaning against her. Oh heavens, he was so heavy!
He looked slim, but his weight was no joke.
She wrapped an arm around his waist—lean yet firm, with not an ounce of flab.
Shen Qi pressed the key fob, and a dark blue Pagani parked nearby flashed its lights as the door slowly opened, looking incredibly stylish in the night.
Unfortunately, Shen Qi had no mood to admire the Pagani’s beauty right now. She struggled to support He Yining, slowly shuffling him to the passenger seat and stuffing him inside.
Once she settled into the driver’s seat, she let out a long, heavy sigh.
Turning to look at the already-drunk He Yining, she really wanted to slap him.
Of course, that was just a thought, just a thought…
She closed the door and started the car.
Luckily, traffic wasn’t too bad at this hour.
The Pagani lived up to its performance and speed, quickly reaching Jinghua Manor.
Shen Qi helped He Yining out of the car, leaving it behind, and stumbled inside.
Fortunately, the villa had an elevator, so she didn’t have to struggle up the stairs.
But even so, after getting He Yining into the bedroom, Shen Qi was completely drained.
She dumped He Yining onto the bed, too exhausted to straighten her back.
He was way too heavy!
Just as Shen Qi was about to get up, He Yining suddenly rolled over, stretching out his long leg and pinning her waist.
Shen Qi was slammed back onto the big bed, landing right beside him.
She froze, then pushed at He Yining: “CEO He? Hey… Wake up? Could you move your leg?”
He Yining didn’t respond, completely still.
Shen Qi pushed him a couple of times, but couldn’t budge him at all.
What was this…?
She still had to go home!
Turning her head, Shen Qi found herself right in front of He Yining’s profile, less than three fingers’ width apart.
His stunningly handsome features were laid out before her.
The last time they’d lain this close was at Mo Ge’s place…
But back then, she was asleep, and now…
Shen Qi felt her heartbeat inexplicably quicken.
The warmth from his leg on her waist made the contact point feel like it was heating up.
What a seductive devil!
Shen Qi whispered softly in He Yining’s ear: “He Yining? Yining? Could you move a bit? I need to go home…”
Before she could finish, an arm draped over her, completely trapping her in his embrace.
Shen Qi was utterly dumbfounded.
What… what was going on?
She’d asked him to move, but she meant move his leg, not throw his arm over!
What now? How was she supposed to get up?
She looked up again, and the distance between them had shrunk even more.
His breath hit her cheek directly, the masculine scent laced with alcohol seeping into her nostrils without any gap.
Shen Qi felt her heart rate pick up a little more…
She tried to push away his arm, but it was as solid as a rock. Her whole body was immobilized, let alone her hands.
Now she was completely pinned down, with no way to fight back.
Seeing He Yining sleeping so soundly while she was trapped so miserably, Shen Qi grew annoyed.
She opened her mouth to bite his cheek, hoping to jolt him awake.
But He Yining shifted slightly, and her bite landed on his lips instead of his cheek…
Feeling the softness on his lips, He Yining reacted instantly. The arm pinning her moved to hold her head, and he rolled over, kissing her back fiercely.
Shen Qi was truly stunned now.
Her mind went blank, completely unable to think.
He Yining, what… what was he doing?
If he woke up and realized he’d kissed her while drunk, he’d probably want to die, right?
Shen Qi felt she’d hit on the truth.
The kiss didn’t last long. After finishing, He Yining half-pressed against her again and drifted back into a deep sleep.
Shen Qi was on the verge of tears.
What was she doing?
She was his sister-in-law!
She was his subordinate!
She’d decided to disappear completely after a year!
What now?
Oh, heavens!
This absolutely could not be spoken of, could never let him know!
No, she had to leave! Fast! Right now!
Shen Qi struggled with all her might.
Just then, the still-sleeping He Yining murmured a name softly: “Xiao Qi…”
Shen Qi’s struggling body froze.
Had she… misheard?
Had He Yining called her name?
No, no, it must be an auditory hallucination!
He never said her name in such a gentle tone.
She tried to struggle again, but suddenly, He Yining’s expression changed, and the arm holding her clamped over his mouth.
Ah, don’t you dare throw up in the room!
Wait, let me find something…
