After downing a whole glass of “Er Guo Tou” in one gulp, Bian Xin’s eyes welled up with tears due to the pungent sting. Yet, she dared not show a trace of unhappiness before Xia Shutong, she could only force a smile through squinted eyes.
“President Xia, this liquor is not bad.”
Xia Shutong replied, “Is that so?”
She was merely reminding Bian Xin that Yun Feiwu was allergic to alcohol, suggesting she should have kept that glass for herself. How did she manage to finish it in one go?
Beside them, Yun Feiwu lowered her head, concealing the fleeting smile in her eyes.
Seeing that Xia Shutong didn’t intend to inquire further, Bian Xin felt relieved. However, she hadn’t been seated for long before her stomach churned, her head grew dizzy, and she had to leave early.
After the banquet concluded, Qian Lingling quickly approached Xia Shutong.
She immediately noticed that Qian Lingling’s face was a bit flushed, and her gaze was unsteady, as if she is drunk.

Qian Lingling’s room was just opposite Xia Shutong’s, on the fifth floor; the elevator arrived quickly.
After escorting Qian Lingling to her room, Xia Shutong turned around to open her own door. She raised her hand, holding the room card mid-air, but suddenly froze.
She looked toward Yun Feiwu beside her, “Miss Yun, aren’t you going back to your room?”
Why was Yun Feiwu still here!
“My room is right here,” Yun Feiwu tilted her head, innocently smiled, and slowly pointed her hand towards Xia Shutong.
— She’s smiling again! This is not fair, you didn’t smile at all during the day. Why only smile when it’s just the two of us. And what does this mean, implying you want to stay in my room? No, no, no, please no!
With Yun Feiwu’s hand movement, Xia Shutong’s heart felt like it was being squeezed, making it difficult even to breathe.
Finally, Yun Feiwu’s finger pointed towards the room next to Xia Shutong’s.
“Coincidence, isn’t it, President Xiao Xia? I happen to be staying right next to you.” With that, Yun Feiwu walked over and also retrieved her room card to open the door.
Xia Shutong briefly let out a sigh of relief, but then she remembered she had something to ask Yun Feiwu.
“Miss Yun…”
But before she could say more, Yun Feiwu halted her movement and stop opening the door all together. Instead, she took a step closer, “President Xiao Xia, is there something you need?”
Xia Shutong suddenly stepped back, her back pressing against the door.
The aura emanating from Yun Feiwu instantly became distinct.
Initially her aura was like that of a solitary wolf, distant and reclusive, and when she interacted with her before, her aura unexpectedly held warmth and gentleness. However, at this moment it was undeniably aggressive.
She want to escape.
“It’s nothing,” Xia Shutong’s hand tightened around the doorknob.
“Just wanted to say,” she opened the door and quickly slipped into the room, “Thank you, Miss Yun, goodnight.”
A resounding door slam.
Outside the door, Yun Feiwu let out a long sigh, a helpless smile tugging at her lips. She lowered her head and returned to her own room.
Like a lonely alpha, defeated in its quest for companionship.
…
Back in her room, Xia Shutong took a shower, then sat on the small stool in the bathroom, clicking on her phone while blow-drying her hair.
On Weibo, discussions about the “Yun x Bian” couple were still ablaze.
Fans of the couple were passionately arguing their case, presenting over a hundred reasons to prove “Yun x Bian” was real, leaving Xia Shutong at a loss for words.
In the morning, she had only thought that Bian Xin might be a bit vain, at most a “green tea” type. But after dinner, she was convinced that Bian Xin genuinely didn’t get along with Yun Feiwu.
And it was clearly a one-sided discord.
Yun Feiwu didn’t even spare a thought for Bian Xin.
Thus, Xia Shutong started to regret allowing Bian Xin to join the crew.
With her hair dry, Xia Shutong’s attention was solely focused on her phone, tracing the wall as she stepped out of the bathroom.
It wasn’t until she reached the sofa that she suddenly sensed that something was amiss.
The residual light seemed to brush against someone on the sofa.
Xia Shutong was frozen for half a second, immediately raising her head to look at the sofa in terror.
Then, she was almost startled to her feet.
Yun Feiwu was sitting on the sofa in a spaghetti strap nightgown. The neckline plunged in a deep V-shape, revealing her exquisite collarbone under the fair and slender neck, fully exposed to the air. The hem of the dress was very short, and the muscles on her thighs and calves flowed smoothly, her skin delicate as snow.
This was all captured by Xia Shutong’s gaze.
A faint blush crept onto Xia Shutong’s ears, and she practically stood frozen in place.
Why was Yun Feiwu in her room? And dressed like this, blatantly trying to seduce her, wasn’t she? Right?
Glancing down at herself, she realized she was only wrapped in a towel. With this realization, Xia Shutong’s legs unconsciously went weak.
Sensing her gaze, Yun Feiwu looked up at her, her gray eyes innocent and bright, as if she didn’t think there was anything wrong with her being here.
“Miss Yun… Yun, Yun Feiwu, what are you doing here?” Xia Shutong bit her lower lip, took a step back, and grabbed the coat from the rack to shield herself.
“Our rooms were converted from a suite,” Yun Feiwu’s lips curled up, and she leaned slightly forward, “We share a balcony.”
In other words, she had come over from the balcony.
However, with just one glance, Xia Shutong was momentarily dazzled by the expanse of whiteness at the neckline of Yun Feiwu’s attire. She felt her head spinning, unable to process what Yun Feiwu was saying.
Xia Shutong could tell that Yun Feiwu wasn’t the least bit flustered, but rather, she seemed to be completely at ease. The smile in her eyes was a blend of ambiguity and mockery, making it hard to distinguish.
In any case, Yun Feiwu’s intentions were quite clear.
She had a hold on Xia Shutong.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Shutong straightened her posture, her expression immediately turning icy.
—What was she getting nervous about? Clearly, she was the boss here. If anyone should be nervous, it should be Yun Feiwu.
So, Xia Shutong summoned her courage, locked her gaze onto Yun Feiwu’s eyes, took a step forward, then another, gradually approaching Yun Feiwu. She looked down on her from a higher vantage point.
In this kind of situation, what would herself before she had an amnesia do?
Xia Shutong arched an eyebrow, tossing the coat onto Yun Feiwu, covering a large expanse of exposed skin.
“Yun Feiwu, you…”
But before she could finish, Yun Feiwu suddenly stood up and draped the coat around Xia Shutong with a swift motion, “President Xiao Xia, I’m here to express my gratitude.”
Yun Feiwu was two centimeters taller than Xia Shutong. From a distance, this difference might not be noticeable, but at such close proximity, those two centimeters of height discrepancy carried a palpable sense of dominance.
Xia Shutong lifted her head and gazed into Yun Feiwu’s eyes. Her mind kept pondering what her former self would have done in this situation.
At an extremely close distance, they locked eyes for a second, then two seconds, then three seconds.
Xia Shutong couldn’t come up with an answer.
Seeing Xia Shutong remain silent, Yun Feiwu moved closer.
And closer…
Xia Shutong felt as though if she blinked, her eyelashes would brush against Yun Feiwu’s eyelids.
The facade she had just managed to maintain collapsed instantly. Xia Shutong stepped back in panic, “Miss Yun…”
Yun Feiwu took a step forward.
Xia Shutong stepped back again.
It wasn’t until she was forced to sit on the bed that Xia Shutong finally managed to complete a sentence.
“Yun Feiwu, our company is a legitimate one! We don’t engage in any unspoke!”
Note: Yun Feiwu only call Xia Shutong, “President Xiao Xia or Little President Xia” if it’s just the two of them. If there are people around, she calls her in a low voice that only the two of them could hear. Otherwise, she would call her “President Xia”, like everyone else would call Xia Shutong.
