270— So You Mean You Only Think Of "That" Everyday?

Her expression of wide-eyed surprise was not even strange to him anymore, but it still made him laugh. When she straightened her back and squared her shoulders, he knew he was in for a lecture.

"Chuan, what— I mean, how— in the office?! We should be working, and not mixing business with pleasure." She finally got her main point across after much difficulty, and even though her heart had begun racing in anticipation after the initial shock, she refused to entertain the thought.

She almost covered her face in embarrassment. She had really come a long way if just the thought of carrying out his words made her feel excited. She had really been corrupted by the wolf ah.

No, she couldn't indulge this behavior.

Li Chuanmo made her get up and sat himself in her seat before seating her on his legs. Even if he must listen to her lecture, he at least had to get some incentive.

So he put his head on her chest and tried to act pitiful, "Wifey, you know we're still newlyweds."

This adult male could even be clingier than children sometimes.

Pei Yueran sighed and became serious, "Chuan, what kind of thoughts do you fill your mind with everyday?"

"Thoughts of you of course. I thought that was obvious."

She ignored the silver of happiness she felt and focused on the main point, "So you mean you only think of "that" everyday?" Her emphasis on the word was unmistakable.

Knowing she would not want to explain, he still asked, "That? What?"

After she refused to speak for a few moments, Li Chuanmo smiled knowingly before becoming serious again.

He said, "Ran, I don't think of 'that' —whatever that means—everyday, I think of you. Your delectable body—yes, but also your wit, your smile, your wisdom, your resourcefulness, your tenderness, your intelligence, your competence, your shy nature— every single thing about you.

Pei Yueran listened, her heart encased in warmth as he continued, "even an entire lifetime would not be enough to engrave you on my heart, so pardon my behavior and let it slide, please Wifey?"

Pei Yueran, who had already melted into a puddle, was nevertheless bad at saying honeyed words, so she just hugged him tightly, "Thank you Chuan."

Thank you for thinking so highly of me. Thank you for loving me.

Li Chuanmo happily hugged her back, before he noticed that her hug planted his face right where he wanted it. He became even more enthusiastic.

She had a floral scent that seemed to emanate from her bones and it was more pronounced there. He breathed in to take in more of the fragrance. Yes, this was definitely the place to be.

Pei Yueran only realized when she let go of him but he didn't remove his head.

"Chuan, you really want to—"

Li Chuanmo reluctantly raised his face from the softness and pleasant scent to look at her, "I was just joking earlier Wifey." Even if he really wanted to do something, it would not be today. He actually came to take her out for lunch.

"Actually, it's not impossible," She began, shocking her husband silly, "But not now, and not today. We have a lot to do."

Li Chuanmo could not contain his shock. Did his bashful and ever proper wife just...agree to a tryst? In the office of all places?

Seeing how Li Chuanmo's eyes darkened, Pei Yueran hastened to get up and avoid the danger.

"I said not today. Didn't we have some business to discuss?"

Li Chuanmo gently dragged her back with one hand, "Right. But since I listened patiently to your lecture, shouldn't I be rewarded?"

Despite the amount of times he had refreshed her knowledge of him, she still hadn't realized that his ability to spout nonsense was this advanced.

"So you mean my words were a lecture in your ears?"

Li Chuanmo didn't want to encourage the turn their conversation was suddenly taking, so he nuzzled her neck as he said, "Fine it wasn't a lecture, but regardless, don't I deserve an afternoon kiss at least?"

Pei Yueran: "..."

Resigned, she tucked wayward strands behind her ear as she leaned to press a kiss on his lips.

Just as their lips touched, there was a knock on the door. Pei Yueran jumped up with alacrity.

"Special Assistant Pei."

It was Min Shiyi.

Since Bei Fengxue's debacle, Pei Yueran had not gotten another personal assistant, and since she hadn't been in the office for a while, she hadn't gotten round to hiring one. Min Shiyi doubled as her personal assistant for now.

Li Chuanmo gritted his teeth, but still trapped his wife in his arms.

"Secretary Min is coming."

"We had a deal."

Outside, Min Shiyi was wondering why Pei Yueran hadn't asked her to come in yet, "Special Assistant Pei?"

Pei Yueran gave up and smashed her lips on Li Chuanmo's pink ones in a hurry, "Okay, now can you let me go?"

Li Chuanmo let her go, grudgingly removing his hands from her waist.

Pei Yueran sprang up and smoothened her hair before saying "Come in" towards the door.

Min Shiyi came in and after greeting both of them, she dropped the documents in her hands on Pei Yueran's table.

Pei Yueran quickly asked her some questions and signed off on them before giving them back to her.

After one last bow, Min Shiyi backed away and walked faster than flying.

It couldn't be helped. She had to be blind to ignore the ice shards that Li Chuanmo was shooting out from his eyes in her direction.

No matter how oblivious Min Shiyi was, this had happened too many times for her not to know that she had interrupted something again. It wasn't her fault that the documents had to be signed immediately.

Sigh!

Next time, she would learn and stay far away once Chairman Li goes into his wife's office ah!

After the "intruder" had left, Li Chuanmo got down to proper business before Pei Yueran could speak, "Actually, I came to invite you for lunch."

Only then did Pei Yueran look at the time. She had been very busy all morning and only paused long enough to respond to Madam Gao's message, so she didn't realize that the time had passed so much.

"That's nice, I suddenly feel very hungry. Did you make any reservations?"

"Of course."

Then let's go. By the way, I wanted to discuss the KO project with you too, so we can do that while we eat."

Li Chuanmo nodded with a faint smile. Leave it to his wife to turn a romantic lunch into a business meeting.

"Let's go to CM Luxuries. I want to observe the operations by the way."

"Alright." Whatever she said.

Holding hands, they stepped out of the office.
