What do you want me to do?

Wu Yuxuan straightened up, his hands still resting lightly on either side of her, but he made sure to give her space.

His smile softened as he looked at her, his voice playful yet respectful. "Alright then," he said, his tone teasing but calm. "What do you want me to do?"

Chen Lin blinked, momentarily thrown off by his question.

Her mind raced to catch up with the shift in their conversation.

There was no pressure in his voice, no hint of expectation.

He was just waiting for her to make the next move, to decide where things went from here.

His gaze held a quiet sincerity.

"What would you like me to do with my assistant?" he asked again, his eyes gleaming with a mix of mischief and gentleness. "If you want me to fire her, I can do that."
