Chapter 48 Second Kiss (Part 3)

The carpeted corridor silently records the sound of air flowing. The burnt carpet and brown wallpaper make the long passage seem to come from a palace of old times. It is brightly lit but filled with depth and seclusion. You can seem to see ancient floating particles in the air.

　　At the end, at the door of the largest master bedroom, a pair of figures stood a few centimeters apart.

　　Lan Su leaned against the door panel cautiously, holding the metal door handle with one hand behind her. Under the hem of her nightgown, she stepped back with her right foot, landing on the forefoot and raising her heel, ready to fight back at any time. However, such a sturdy body wrapped in the apricot silk nightgown looked a little pale.

　　Huo Yan held her between his body and the door, holding the door open with one hand, with his body only a few centimeters away from hers. His palm pressed on the side of Lan Su's head, pressing down on a few strands of hair. Her chestnut hair hung down, and between the gaps in her thick hair, her eyes were like sharp blades shining through the cold snow.

　　"It seems that Lan Haotian told you a lot."

　　She approached suddenly, bending the arm that was holding the door into an arc of oppression, and stopped when their noses were a few centimeters away, staring at Lan Su like a tamer.

　　Lan Su was trapped in an invisible cage, but she was not a white rabbit, nor a kitten, but a leopard with fangs, and had all the instincts to fight back against the trainer. She suddenly rushed forward, held Huo Yan's face with both hands, and bit his lips hard.

　　She knew that Huo Yan would assert his sovereignty with a condescending kiss, just like he did before in the hotel.

She was fed up with that kind of nasty way of doing things, which was like marking a pet's body.

　　"Well!"

　　Huo Yan was hit unexpectedly, and the overlapping figures retreated together like sandbags. The hand that was holding the door withdrew and grabbed the door frame behind him. Just as he stabilized his body, he felt a sharp pain in his bitten lip——

　　Lan Su bit her lip.

　　He straightened his waist forward, exerted force on his cervical spine while softening his lips, gently sucking on her fierce lip beads, exerted force on his palms on her waist until his abdominal muscles bulged, and held her face with his other hand, like the wind sweeping across the lotus leaves on a summer morning, extremely tender.

　　When she wanted to go further and soften Lan Su and turn the biting into a real kiss, Lan Su suddenly loosened his teeth and pushed her shoulders back.

　　The fragrance at the tip of my nose suddenly dissipated, and the softness in my arms suddenly disappeared, like a gust of spring breeze that came hurriedly and passed away in a flash, leaving only the fragrance of flowers for a moment.

　　The emptiness of trying to draw water with a bamboo basket brought Huo Yan back to reality. He opened his eyes and saw Lan Su wiping his lips vigorously with the back of his hand. There was no trace of the sweetness of a kiss in his eyes. Instead, there was vigilance, caution, rejection, and warning.

　　"You don't like being controlled by others, and neither do I."

　　Although the words were correct, Huo Yan did not understand them.

　　"Don't think you can control me by forcing a kiss."

　　This additional sentence was even more illogical, and Huo Yan was completely confused. Without the protection of the lens, his eyes stared straight at Lan Su, with no definite focus, like a tangled mess of wires with no connector, making a sizzling sound of electricity, but unable to turn on the light.

　　boom!

　It was not until the person in front of him ran out and his sight and hearing were cut off by the closed door that his chaotic thoughts finally found a clue.

　　Who told her that the forced kiss was to control her?

　　How humble must this person's past life have been to make him regard everything others do as control?

　　Besides, she didn't want to kiss Lan Su just now. It was this man who suddenly rushed towards her out of self-defense.

　　She was the general manager of a listed company, an entrepreneur who could cause a major earthquake in the business world with just a stomp of her feet. Yet, she was blocked by her own wife at the bedroom door and forcefully kissed. In the end, she had to bear the stigma of being too controlling.

　　The greatest injustice in the world.

　　And his lip was bitten.

　　Huo Yan was unhappy and prepared to have the court heard for herself in her heart, but the court was not opened because the judge would feel guilty if he asked her one question.

　　Why do you kiss back? Is it because you really want to be in control or... because you really like him?

　　How to answer?

　　Someone who is usually calm and composed becomes tongue-tied.

　　At the stairs, a small figure rushed downstairs and knocked open the housekeeper Ellie's room without saying a word.

　　"Boss! Something happened, Boss!"

　　The maid Xiaolan pulled Ali out of the bed just after he lay down.

　　Ai Li was pulled up straight and sat up. He was stunned for two seconds before he came back to his senses. He turned around and saw Xiao Lan jumping up and down with her sleeves in her hands, very confused:

　　"What's wrong?"

Xiaolan has typical almond-shaped eyes. When she is excited, her eyes roll around like bells. She covers her mouth and whispers:

　　"Boss Huo and Miss Lan did that!"

　　"Which one?"

　　"Kiss!"

　　"impossible."

　　"real!"

　　Xiaolan knew that she didn't believe it: "You still don't believe it, I saw it with my own eyes! I just went upstairs to deliver milk, and as soon as I reached the stairs, I saw Miss Lan kissing me in a flash!"

　　She spoke with great excitement and even made a peacock dance gesture to demonstrate the strength of the kiss.

　　"Bang! I was worried that Mr. Huo might have a concussion!"

　　The more Ai Li heard it, the more outrageous it sounded: "Ms. Lan took the initiative? She knocked Mr. Huo against the door?"

　　Xiaolan corrected him, "It's not the door, it's the door frame. Miss Lan was standing on the other side of the door. When I went up to her, she was still being held against the wall by Mr. Huo."

　　Now, Ai Li was completely confused. She had been with Huo Yan for so many years, and she had never seen her get close to anyone. Once, a male internet celebrity put his hand on her shoulder during a group photo, and the next day, he disappeared from the entertainment industry. The name "Jade Yama of the Business Circle" was not for nothing. Who among these people was not polite and respectful in front of Huo Yan?

　　But Lan Su came and forced a kiss on us?

　　Moreover, Huo Yan allowed her to kiss him.

　　"What's Mr. Huo's reaction?" she asked.

　　Xiaolan thought about it and said, "She closed her eyes and seemed to be enjoying it."

　　Well, it's over.

　　Ai Li came to a conclusion in his heart.

　　I put on my coat and went out to pick up the milk tray that Xiaolan had left on the stairs. I looked up and saw that the doors of the two master bedrooms opposite were closed.

　　Let's pretend nothing happened and perform the epic drama of who is the fool.

　　The next day, Huo Yan went to the company wearing a mask. The black sponge material covered the lower half of his face tightly, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses supported his nose, reflecting the light in his eyes in an uncertain and confusing way, with no way to tell whether he was happy or angry.

　　Fortunately, she still has a strong sense of professionalism. At the morning meeting, she promptly cut off two low-profit projects and devoted all her efforts to following up on the 200 million cooperation project signed with a Thai company.

　　A new department manager wanted to flatter me and asked after the meeting:

　　"Mr. Huo, do you have a cold? I have some medicine."

　　Huo Yan was stunned for a moment, closed the notebook without leaving a trace, said "It's okay" and left without looking back.

　　Assistant Xu Panpan took note and replaced the coffee with health tea to ward off the cold when she made coffee. She brought it into the general manager's office, and when she saw the red and swollen lip, she realized that she had done something unnecessary.

"Boss Huo, how about I go downstairs and buy you an ointment?"

　　The swelling is quite big, and the right side of the lower lip is turned outward.

　　Huo Yan hummed: "Okay, thank you for your help.

Xu Panpan put the tea away and left, quietly and dutifully. After grabbing her phone and stepping out of the company building, she excitedly sent three emojis to her senior assistant Jiang Feng, and ended with this sentence:

　　[100 yuan]

　　[French bread: gambling money, don't think about defaulting on it]

　　[French bread: I just went in and saw that Mr. Huo's mouth was bitten by someone, it's not a cold]

　　[French bread: It's true, I saw it with my own eyes. Anyway, it's amazing]

　　[French bread: Meng Lang! ]

　　In the assistant's office, Jiang Feng stared at the two words in the chat box in a daze, glanced towards the door of the general manager's office, and then retracted his gaze. He still couldn't imagine how Huo Yan's lips must have been broken to make Xu Panpan so excited.

　　There was no point in thinking too much, so I just transferred 100 yuan as payment for my promise just now.

　　Then he checked the information and sent it to Huo Yan:

　　"Mr. Huo, this is what you asked for. It is the jewelry antiques that the Lan Group has purchased and sold in the past year. The attached information is other types of antiques. There are some problems with some of them. I explained them in the remarks column."

　　In the general manager's office, Huo Yan immediately clicked on the file, pulled it to the monitor dedicated to reading documents parallel to the computer, and entered the dialog box on the original interface of the computer.

　　"OK, thanks."

After quickly browsing the documents, he called Ai Li: "Ai Li, go check who the Lan family is hiding in the hospital on Binhai Island."

　　Who could threaten Lan Su and make her, who has always been law-abiding, greedy for Black Mountain?
