The President is Being Shameless Again
chapter-296

The elevator soon arrived at the Public Relations Department’s floor. The two people went out of the elevator in a daze after being overwhelmed with shock. Zheng Yuntong was about to head out as well but was dragged back in by Shen Zongyi.

Zheng Yuntong looked over at him curiously as Shen Zongyi raised his wrist up. He lifted it up as he was still holding onto Zheng Yuntong’s hand, refusing to let go. Then, he looked at his watch and said, “There’s still time. Come to my office.”

Was he planning to walk around the whole office hand in hand?

Zheng Yuntong confusedly agreed and did not leave the elevator. Then, she followed Shen Zongyi up to his office.

He led her through a lot of departments on their way there. They were showered by astonished gazes as they paraded around their newfound relationship.

It was not until they had reached Shen Zongyi’s office and the door was closed that Zheng Yuntong began to look around uneasily.

This was the first time she had been to his office and it felt strange. She had been his colleague for a long time, and they had gotten closer lately, but she had never once been here. It was probably because there was never a time when they needed to have direct contact before this.

His office was simple. It had a two-seat sofa for visitors, a round coffee table, and a desk with two computers on it. One was a laptop, and the other was a desktop. There were no other personal objects on the table.

Everything in the office was very business oriented. It looked cold and serious, just like the impression he had always given out.

Zheng Yuntong blushed and made a stifled sound. “Um.”

Shen Zongyi chuckled at her. Why did she become more restrained after they had started dating?

However, he did not feel that she was alienating herself, and there was a sense of closeness between them now. It was an odd sensation for him.

Shen Zongyi was not vexed by any means. They had just officially established their relationship, so they were not used to each other yet. This would gradually change over time.

He pulled Zheng Yuntong to sit on the two-seat sofa where she watched as his visibly boney hand opened the tube of ointment he had bought earlier. He squeezed some out and applied it on her wrist.

It had a bit of a Chinese medicine smell to it, but it was not at all pungent. It had a whiff of mint to it as well, and it made the ointment more pleasant to the nose. It felt cold on the skin, but her muscles became more relaxed, and after a brief moment of pain, it began to subside.

After applying the cream, she indeed felt much better.

He read through the instructions on the box and said, “It says applying it once a day is enough. So, I’ll apply it again at noon tomorrow.”

Zheng Yuntong smiled glowingly after being cared for so meticulously.

Shen Zongyi felt warm as well as he looked at her after putting the tube of ointment down.

Zheng Yuntong’s smile faded slowly as she pursed her lips shyly. Her upper lip covered her lower lip as she gently bit down on it. “What… what’s wrong?”

“Just now, when we were outside, I said I wanted to kiss you, and you said we were in the middle of a busy street. Now that there’s no one in my office, I want to kiss you. May I?” Shen Zongyi asked with a smile.

Zheng Yuntong could not hold back her laughter. She pouted her lips as she said, “Didn’t you say you had a strong character? Did you have to ask first?”

“My bad.” Shen Zongyi chuckled slightly.

Zheng Yuntong was not expecting him to have such a good temper. She suddenly felt like she had hit the jackpot being able to see his innate character. How could Shen Zongyi be this good even in private!

Whilst she was still enjoying in his laughter, Shen Zongyi unexpectedly pulled her into his arms. After this, her lips were pressed against his before she had the time to respond.

They were thin and hot, but unexpectedly soft. Originally, he had just put a gentle peck on her lips. However, the two people that were so attracted to each other that they were not entirely satisfied with such stiffness. Zheng Yuntong began to move her lips slightly, rubbing it on his as if trying to get more intimate with him.

Shen Zongyi became provoked by this. His hand was wrapped around her back as he exerted a slight pressure on it, trying to pull her closer into his embrace. Even though he was being mesmerized by the dance of their lips, he still tried to be a gentleman. He felt her intentions through her actions, so he unreservedly returned the favor, almost pressing her onto the sofa.

Shen Zongyi was afraid of scaring her, so, with much difficulty, he stopped himself. However, he still yearned more of her and gave her a final gentle peck on her lip petal.

Zheng Yuntong’s face could not be more crimson than it was at that moment. She was unwilling to let him move away, as if she were trying to tell Shen Zongyi that she did indeed like being in his embrace and enjoyed the way he kissed her. She also wanted to tell him that he could touch whichever part he wanted to, but was afraid that it would that be too unreserved of her.

She genuinely liked being this intimate with Shen Zongyi; it was as if there was a magnetic force between the two, such that she wanted to be glued tightly to him.

For some reason, Shen Zongyi chuckled as he supported himself against her forehead. Perhaps it was due to the kiss just now, but his voice had turned hoarse, even though it was not at all unpleasant. On the contrary, it attracted her even more, like a magnet.

She kind of understood how Wei Zilin’s voice sounded so attractive to Xu Moyan since this was how she felt toward Shen Zongyi’s now.

Shen Zongyi held her face with one hand; just four of his slender fingers were enough to cover her entire face. He rubbed it lightly and used his thumb to gently press the center of her lips as he swirled it around.

“This is good. I’ve always wanted to do this, so I’m delighted right now.” Shen Zongyi said as he smiled. “It’s nice to be close to you like this.”

He heaved a sigh of satisfaction.

He paused a while before asking a question, “Will this scare you, us moving too fast?”

The villain inside Zheng Yuntong’s mind was putting on a big show in her head when he asked this. She was sprawled out on her back on the sofa and was shouting fiercely, ‘Come on! Nothing is too fast, feel free to do what you like!’

Nevertheless, her whole face was still red, and she could not utter a single word. She bit her lip slightly with a satisfied smile in her eyes. Even though she was not talking, Shen Zongyi understood Zheng Yuntong’s response and smiled widely as well. His eyes filled with joy as he had never felt such warmth and satisfaction before.

He took a deep breath as he put a bit of distance between them. Then, he proceeded to fix Zheng Yuntong’s attire for her.

Zheng Yuntong sat idly as she watched Shen Zongyi do this for her. Even so, her heart was beating like crazy.

“Would you like to stay here for a while?” Shen Zongyi asked. Her lips looked a little swollen, so returning to the Public Relations Department in her current state would be unprofessional.

He did not want her to experience her colleagues’ glares if she were to return right now. The last thing he wanted was for her to hang her head in shame due to their mocking.

Zheng Yuntong nodded, and there was a moment of awkward silence in the office.

They had no clue what to talk about after establishing their relationship. Finally, Zheng Yuntong was the first one to let out a laugh, and Shen Zongyi hugged her tightly in his arms. They did not talk much, and just quietly sat on the sofa in each other’s embrace.

…

Wei Zilin and Xu Moyan had just finished their meals when Wei Zilin offered to send her back to her company. Xu Moyan was intrigued. She still tried to reject lightly before ultimately agreeing to him.

The two ate at a restaurant not far from his company, so Wei Zilin did not drive.

Soon, the two of them were walking back to Lin Yi so that Wei Zilin could go to the car park. Coincidentally, they met up with Guan Zexi that was walking toward Lin Yi for some unknown reason.

“President Wei.” Guan Zexi called out to Wei Zilin when he saw him.

Wei Zilin had already formed an impression of Guan Zexi since he had seen him by the entrance earlier alongside Zheng Yuntong. It was apparent that Guan Zexi was going after over Zheng Yuntong. Thus, Wei Zilin silently rejoiced over Shen Zongyi’s misfortune before feeling a little bit worried about him. Then, he decided to pay no more attention to it.

Originally, when Zheng Yuntong had said that the person she had a crush on was not Wei Zilin, Guan Zexi had trouble believing her. Zheng Yuntong’s circle of friends was not that large, so she would usually only be in touch with staff from Lin Yi and barely had contact with her fellow classmates.

If one were to take scan Lin Yi from top to bottom, only Wei Zilin would be able to successfully meet all of the criteria. At least, this was the case from Guan Zexi’s perspective.

However, now that he saw that Xu Moyan was standing beside Wei Zilin. Guan Zexi was not very sure anymore.

Perhaps Zheng Yuntong was well aware of this, but she was still secretly in love with Wei Zilin anyway?

Wei Zilin stopped in his tracks and nodded toward Guan Zexi courteously.

Guan Zexi smiled as he asked, “Is Lin Yi very busy today? Yuntong was in the middle of a meal with me when she was called back to the office.”

Xu Moyan listened from the side and felt terrible for this fellow. It was evident that Zheng Yuntong did not like him very much. After all, it was not easy to make a foodie give up fine food and look for an excuse to leave after eating only half of her meal.

Wei Zilin paused before nodding. “Yeah, there was an emergency.”

Guan Zexi had nothing else to add since Wei Zilin had confirmed it, so he hurriedly left.

Xu Moyan then got into the car with Wei Zilin. Whilst in the car, Xu Moyan sent a message via WeChat to Zheng Yuntong. “What happened at noon today? Tell me the deets quickly!”

…

Zheng Yuntong had come back to the Public Relations Department with Shen Zongyi holding on to her hand the whole way. Thus, it was inevitable that there would be discussions about them. This was why she had followed Shen Zongyi back to his office and stayed there for a while with him.

Shen Zongyi did this to protect her and to show their colleagues in the company that he really valued her.

When they reached the entrance of the Public Relations Department, Zheng Yuntong said embarrassedly, “President Wei will be back soon, so go back quickly.”

Shen Zongyi nodded and replied, “I’ll go in after you.”
