Although Cheng Yi could feel Zhai Zhongshen's intense gaze, he tried to ignore it.

"Well… I'm not sure about that…" Cheng Yi replied. He wasn't very confident.

"Well, good luck then," Long Yuetian encouraged

"Yep, I will try my best," Cheng Yi responded seriously. He was trying his best right now.

It took roughly forty minutes for them to drive to Cheng Yi's destination.

When they arrived, Cheng Yi reluctantly got out of the car. Then, he watched Long Yuetian and Zhai Zhongshen leave.

Without Cheng Yi, the atmosphere in the car instantly became awkward. Long Yuetian was unsure of how to chat with Zhai Zhongshen.

And thus, she looked down. Similarly, Zhai Zhongshen did not open his mouth to speak.

Every minute spent alone with Zhai Zhongshen seemed extraordinarily long.

It was not until the car stopped that Long Yuetian realized she wasn't at the Long Heng Group.

"Where is this?" Long Yuetian asked.

"The Tianxing Group."

The Tianxing Group's headquarters were located in Country Y. This building was just a branch that Zhai Zhongshen opened in Beijing.

"Why did you bring me to Tianxing Group?" Long Yuetian asked.

"We need to discuss parts of the project," Zhai Zhongshen calmly replied. He said this to Long Yuetian before they departed.

Upon hearing this response, Long Yuetian slowly followed Zhai Zhongshen into the VIP elevator.

The VIP elevator brought them straight to the CEO's office which was located on the highest level of the building.

However, as soon as she entered the office, Long Yuetian noticed that there was no one else there.

"Is it just us?" Long Yuetian questioned.

Could they discuss this project with just the two of them? What could they even talk about?

"Sit," Zhai Zhongshen gestured as he poured a glass of water for Long Yuetian.

Long Yuetian slowly sat down on the leather sofa. She felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhai Zhongshen's aura and presence were extraordinarily strong. It was hard to ignore him.

"So what went wrong in our project?" Long Yuetian took the initiative to ask.

As long as she talked about work matters, she wouldn't feel as nervous.

Zhai Zhongshen was standing in front of the leather sofa.

Without replying to her question, he suddenly lowered his head and approached Long Yuetian's face.

This gesture closed the distance between them.

He was so close that the tip of his nose could almost touch hers.

Long Yuetian's heart began to beat rapidly and her entire brain went blank.

"Do you care a lot about Cheng Yi?" Zhai Zhongshen asked.

"What?" Long Yuetian responded with confusion. As her brain felt short-circuited, she couldn't quite comprehend the meaning of Zhai Zhongshen's words.

"Are you concerned about his romantic interests?"

"No?" When did she say that?

The conversation she had with Cheng Yi on the way here was just between ordinary friends. It was nothing special.

As she attempted to recall the conversation, her lips were suddenly met with Zhai Zhongshen's hot lips.

Zhai Zhongshen's kiss was so aggressive and possessive that it almost took Long Yuetian's breath away.

This kiss completely short-circuited Long Yuetian's already fragile and half-working brain.

Her brain which had been active for more than thirty years went on strike for the first time.

After a long time, Zhai Zhongshen finally released Long Yuetian.

Long Yuetian looked at Zhai Zhongshen with a bewildered expression on her face. She could not quite comprehend what had just happened.

After a long pause, Long Yuetian moved her right hand to touch her damp lips. It was as though she was trying to confirm that what just happened was real and not an illusion.

"What are you doing…"

"I want you," Zhai Zhongshen replied seriously. Despite saying these words, his face still showed little to no expression.
