"Breathe, are you trying to suffocate yourself?" Su Shaochen pried my fingers apart and took the kettle away.
"Mr. Su, I..." It was only then that I realized I had forgotten to breathe. Just as I uttered a few words, tears uncontrollably streamed down my face.
"Mr. Su, thank you..."
"No need to thank me, it's all to be repaid." Su Shaochen leaned close to my ear and kissed my cheek before I could react, then sealed my lips with his.
I even forgot that I was crying.
He held me tight, one hand supporting the back of my head, deepening the kiss.
I was so dizzy from his kiss that before I could react to refuse, he had already let go.
"Consider this as interest. You saw how much money your dad just took. It seems you'll be my housekeeper for life." Su Shaochen said it as casually as if it were everyday conversation.
I calculated the debt in my head, getting more and more confused until tears welled up again.
"What, you're unwilling?" Su Shaochen frowned.
