Stay by my side

"Stop looking at me." Ying Yue muttered as she arranged Fei Huangjin's schedule on her tablet.

This statement only served as encouragement to Fei Huangjin and he shifted his body to look at her fully. The more he stared at her, the more he was becoming a slave to her beauty.

She looked sophisticated and lovely in a pink button-down long-sleeved shirt and a long beige pleated skirt.

"I can't help it," he muttered.

Ying Yue glanced at him. The man's face was serious and unmoving. She rolled her eyes and shifted the topic to work. "I sent you your schedule for the day just now. Any changes on your end?"

Fei Huangjin took out his phone and frowned, studying the schedule she put together for him. She had left a twelve to one-thirty window period for lunch. His mouth curled up into a smile, even without him being aware.

"The 4PM meeting with the PR team, move it up tomorrow."

"But why?" Ying Yue glanced at her tablet and swiped to the temporary schedule she had outlined for the next day. His morning was already full. "I had to bump today's lunch meeting and moved it to tomorrow morning just to accommodate our lunch--"

She was about to say lunch date, but it was a good thing she caught herself and bit her lip just in time.

A soft chuckle could be heard beside her, and she turned to find Fei Huangjin trying to suppress his laughter.

"You were playing with me." She eyed him dangerously and threw her tablet at him.

He caught it easily with one hand, carefully placing it at the space between them.

Mr. Yang, who was observing the two through the rearview mirror, gasped silently in surprise. Just the other day, Secretary Ying was talking back at the CEO and refusing to be his girlfriend. Now the CEO was picking her up before work and was acting like a kid with her. Did the two knock their heads or something? Was the planet flat after all?

"I wasn't." He gradually returned to being serious and turned his phone to her. It was displaying a text conversation between him and CEO Zhang. "Zhang Zihan is dropping by this afternoon. Fit him into the 4PM slot."

She grudgingly nodded her head and went back to re-arranging his schedule. "You know, this is the work of an executive assistant, so you should definitely go and hire one." She mumbled.

"I don't need one when I have you."

Ying Yue chose to ignore the comment. Who knew Monster Fei was such a sweet-talker?

The car stopped at the entrance to Fei International and Mr. Yang opened the door at Fei Huangjin's side. He stepped out fluidly, buttoning his suit and surveying the area with a steely look. Finally, he bent down and offered a hand to Ying Yue.

She reddened. She couldn't help but think about all the gossip that would pop out from the company today. Shaking off the thoughts, she took Fei Huangjin's hand and stepped out of the car gracefully.

"Stay by my side, don't follow me around like you usually do." He whispered conspiratorially.

Growing up, Ying Shen always told her that there were two ways to be happy, and that was to either change the situation or change the mindset towards it. She already chose to be in this situation, so she might as well do it with a positive mindset that knew no regrets.

Fei Huangjin supported her back with a hand, pushing her to walk beside him. She made no move to brush him away, and that honestly surprised him.

They walked across the lobby to the CEO's private lift.

The people at reception gasped and started to giddily talk amongst themselves. The other employees around them stopped to take a look, their eyes unbelieving.

The hand on Ying Yue's back snaked around her waist and Fei Huangjin pulled her closer to him.

This guy, really… She rolled her eyes at how possessive he was acting.

Some took photos of the two.

The company chatgroup was suddenly abuzz with gossip, and a photo of Fei Huangjin's arm wrapped around Ying Yue's waist became viral.

"OMG did you see CEO Fei and Secretary Ying Yue at the lobby just now??"

"They arrived in the same car. I saw it."

"He had an arm around her! Around her!!"

"What? They're together?"

"I knew that woman would eventually seduce him."

"What are you saying?? She actually seduced the CEO??"

"I think they look good together."

"How did she do it?"

"No, our goddess has been taken by the devil!"

"Don't call the CEO a devil!! He's a gift to women!!"
