No Distractions

Jingwei laughed awkwardly as he stared at the TV. It was now showing a nature documentary. A dead elephant's decomposing body was shown, and he hurriedly looked away. 

"Hahahaha… why would you think so? I'm not scared at all." He insisted, but his eyebrow was twitching. 

"Please lie better at the press conference. If not, you're going to die like that elephant in the documentary." Xue Ning said with all seriousness. The TV was now showing the scene of a flock of vultures waiting around. It felt frightfully ominous. 

"That's so reassuring, thank you for that." Jingwei replied sarcastically. "I'm doing my best."

"You're welcome," she patted his hand. Jingwei gave her a grouchy look, but he took the chance to lace his fingers with hers. She pulled away, ignoring his confused look.

"That's why I think you should spend less time thinking about getting me into your bed, and more time pouring over those documents Shengli sent over."
