Calm Before the Storm

"I'm not going to cockblock you lovers from having sex!" 

At Shengli's frank statement, Xue Ning sprang away from Jingwei. She nearly forgot Shengli was still there, something that she blamed Jingwei for. 

Jingwei had a way of drawing her entire attention - it was an ability she could still ignore when they first met, but after all their shared kiss, her eyes naturally drifted to his imposing figure whenever he was within her radius, like now.

"There's no sex! None!" Xue Ning exclaimed, cheeks hot with embarrassment. She glared at Jingwei; he was playing dirty. "Don't try to seduce me before we even sign the contract!" 

"So it was working!" Jingwei said delightedly. "Don't worry Xue Ning, I'll make it worth your while." 

"What kind of harebrained scheme have you cooked up now?" Shengli asked warily. He didn't want to know, but he had to. For the sake of his paycheck.
