Chapter 12 Like Five Years Ago

The little face before him had been hiding deep in his heart, refusing to emerge, for five whole years.

Now, this lovely woman with her rosy lips and white teeth had appeared, bringing back memories of the old days and making him want to teach her a harsh lesson.

Lin Miao'er met his deep gaze, feeling his imposing aura, "Mr. Gong, I have other matters to attend to, so please give me your phone number, and I'll... um!"

Before she could finish speaking, those cool lips swooped in, as if to punish her severely.

"Gong Motin, you jerk," Lin Miao'er pushed him away forcefully, the air thick with a sensual scent, throwing her heartbeat into disarray.

"Aren't you very interested in me? The bathroom is over there, go take a bath first," Gong Motin said huskily.

"Take a bath?" Lin Miao'er sensed a hint of danger. What relationship did they have? Even if they had a marriage certificate, it was just an accident.

She looked at Gong Motin, puzzled, "Mr. Gong, what do you mean by this?"

"What, Miss Lin is so proactive and you come here to play dumb with me?"

Lin Miao'er frowned, "I came to you proactively because I have something to discuss with you, but I do not wish to have relations with you. So what if we have a marriage certificate? I'm not interested in you."

His gaze stalled, "Does that mean Miss Lin is proactive with everyone?" Is it disinterest or welcoming all comers? Gong Motin's eyes were an unfathomable abyss.

"Mr. Gong, it was you who asked me to come up," Lin Miao'er's lips curled more prominently, "Could it be that this is Mr. Gong's strategy for picking up girls, playing hard to get?"

This man's attractive appearance was the bane of men and a challenge for women; countless had fallen for his face.

With a "snap," Gong Motin grabbed the gift box she had brought and threw it to the ground, "Miss Lin, please tell me, who exactly is playing hard to get here?"

Was this thing meant to be a gift for another man?

"What's there to explain? I admitted that what I did in the beginning was wrong, and this gift box is to show my apology," Lin Miao'er said honestly, but his advancing step by step made her legs tremble.

"Apology? Well, I accept your apology. Now I'm giving you an opportunity," with that, Gong Motin's strong hands circled her slender waist, pulling her close to him.

Feeling the warmth of his palm, Lin Miao'er looked down at the box on the floor, her cheeks flaming red.

The exquisite gift box contained a set of provocative lingerie, and the design of the advertisement on top was embarrassingly suggestive!

No wonder Gong Motin's words were loaded with meaning.

Lin Miao'er tried to reach for the gift box, but it was caught by his large hand.

She looked at him awkwardly, "Mr. Gong, there's a misunderstanding here, what I meant to give you was not this."

Why would Huajie send this to her?

She thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something. Tonight, no matter who the gift was for, she would be disqualified and possibly kicked out of this circle forever.

And who would be the most eager to see this outcome? Of course, Lin Ke!

"Mr. Gong, my agent gave this to me, saying it would help with the interviewers and leave a good impression, but I didn't know it would be this inside. I'll pick out a gift for you personally another day, to show my sincerity," she said.

She didn't know what this man was thinking of her at that moment...

Huajie really had a talent for causing harm, nearly ruining her future and even jeopardizing the hard-won meeting with Gong Motin.

Turbulent waves stirred in Gong Motin's deep gaze as he listened to her explanation, his heart filling with complex emotions. He would rather have the gift be something she had picked out specifically for him, without any misunderstanding.

Just as Lin Miao'er was about to take back the gift box, he beat her to it and picked it up, "I don't think this was for me anyway. After all, I prefer to see you naked rather than wearing this, just like five years ago..."
