Chapter 8:

Although she had no experience, she still knew some things. After a woman's first time, especially if it was as intense as theirs, it shouldn't just be sore all over, but there should also be pain in the lower body. At the time, she didn't even react to this and didn't seriously think about what Qiao Minghe said. But now, when Qiao Minghe mentioned it again, she suddenly had a moment of clarity and her mind became sharp. She looked at the tall and noble man in front of her with half fear and half shyness. The man's aura was somewhat strong, and even before he spoke, it made people feel insecure. "Um...did we really sleep together last night?" Bai Xiaoyi swallowed and asked tentatively. Qiao Minghe's sexy lips curled slightly and his voice was low, "Don't believe me?" Hearing him say these two words with such deep meaning made her heart skip a beat. "I believe you! I believe you!" Bai Xiaoyi quickly denied the strange thought that suddenly came to her mind. It was too foolish to doubt or deny whether they had slept together at this point. First of all, she couldn't prove what happened last night, and since he insisted, he wouldn't admit it. Secondly, it was not wise to talk about this now. It might even stimulate this man's desire and make him want to prove it by sleeping with her again. Bai Xiaoyi secretly sighed at her impulsiveness and stupidity. Even if she had doubts, she had to pretend not to know for now. Fortunately, she quickly came to her senses. "Um, I came here to talk about the pharmaceutical research institute!" Bai Xiaoyi couldn't find anything to ease the awkward situation, so she brought up the purpose of her visit to draw a line. Qiao Minghe looked deeply at her, turned around, and pressed the intercom button on his desk. He turned back and asked Bai Xiaoyi, his voice seeming to have become somewhat indifferent, "Do you want something to drink?" Bai Xiaoyi was still a little stunned and casually said, "Coffee, please!" The secretary at the front desk received the order and quickly brought two cups of coffee in. It had to be said that the secretary beside Qiao Minghe was also a first-class beauty. Her tall figure was so elegant that even the steps she took while holding the coffee were graceful. The secretary put down the coffee and respectfully left the room. During this time, Qiao Minghe didn't say another word to Bai Xiaoyi, as if he had suddenly become a different person. Bai Xiaoyi couldn't figure it out. Wasn't he just fine a moment ago? Why did he suddenly seem to want to draw a line with her? Should she talk about the pharmaceutical research institute or not? Wasn't she just being left hanging here? Bai Xiaoyi felt a little embarrassed. She stood up and walked towards the man who sat quietly behind the desk, exuding an aura of dominance. "Um, are we still going to talk about it?" Bai Xiaoyi stood opposite him, keeping a certain distance. "Mo Fan will come in and talk to you!" Qiao Minghe looked up and glanced at Bai Xiaoyi. Bai Xiaoyi felt a little uncomfortable and pulled out a chair, sitting down and waiting. She couldn't understand where she had offended this man. Why did he suddenly become so indifferent? Was the man this morning and just now not the real him? For some reason, facing the cold man in front of her, Bai Xiaoyi suddenly had an impulse to get to the bottom of things, to explain clearly, and to make him not so cold. Fortunately, Mo Fan, the assistant, came in quickly.
