Li Ruo felt a surge of emotion, she immediately widened her eyes, hurriedly pushed away Ye Chen, her face flushed, and said, "No, don't continue, we… we can't do this!"
"Uh…" Ye Chen was taken aback, he hadn't expected himself to act so out of line. He gave an awkward smile and said, "Ruo, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!"
"It's okay, just don't continue!" Li Ruo lowered her head, her hands fidgeting nervously, not knowing where to place them. Seeing this, Ye Chen quickly suggested his departure, Li Ruo nodded, Ye Chen staying would only make things more awkward. Ye Chen left, Li Ruo collapsed onto the sofa, then slowly slid down, lying on the sofa, her eyes fixed straight on the ceiling, seeming as if she wanted to see through it to the sky beyond the railing.
Ye Chen walked out of Li Ruo's office, sniffed the finger that had slipped into his underwear, still carrying a lingering scent of that musk. He grinned and said, "She truly is a marvelous woman."
