Meng Ze seemed calm, but in fact, he wasn’t calm at all. He had almost kissed Xiang Han, as if bewitched. What’s more terrible is that he actually wasn’t disgusted by the cumin on the other party’s lips at all and even thought it was cute?

Cute my ass, Secretary Geng isn’t a child!

Meng Ze silently squeezed the lower steering wheel. After driving some distance, he asked, “Where do you live?”

“Jingwei Road XX Garden.” Xiang Han was still expressionless, recalling how he had almost closed his eyes to kiss him. He desperately wanted to find a hole to bury himself.

However, Meng Ze’s behaviour was really weird. After getting so close to him, isn’t it to kiss him? This guy was usually serious; he wasn’t one to make fun of others.

Based on his experience from watching idol dramas, Xiang Han analysed the situation carefully, and finally decided that the ambiguous atmosphere must have bewitched Meng Ze into wanting to kiss him. However, in the end, he was still bound by the plot and feelings for the female lead, so he stopped in time.

From Xiang Han’s point of view, he was still attractive and his efforts during this period had not been in vain. Had it not been for the might of the plot, he would have taken Meng Ze down long ago.

After his analysis, Xiang Han was full of confidence. It was as if success was right in front of him.

Coincidentally, he is going on a business trip with Meng Ze tomorrow. He could seize this opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and capture him in one fell swoop!

Recalling the things that the novel said the overbearing CEO and the secretary had to do when on a business trip, he couldn’t help but reveal a strange smile.

While he was working out a strategy, Meng Ze’s thoughts were also in chaos. The inside of the car was extremely quiet as the two of them were thinking silently on their own. Neither spoke, but the atmosphere was not uncomfortable.

The car reached his neighbourhood. Before Xiang Han got off the car, he suddenly turned around gracefully, put on a smile which he thought was very charming, and said, “Thank you, President Meng… now that we are here, why don’t you go up for a cup of tea?”

Meng Ze hesitated for a while before shaking his head. “No thanks, rest early. We have to catch a plane tomorrow.”

“All right.” Xiang Han’s smile deepened. Catching Meng Ze off guard, he suddenly leaned in and kissed his lips.

Meng Ze subconsciously reached out to push him away, but accidentally touched something soft and immediately froze.

Afterwards, their lips grazed and separated too quickly for him to react. He only felt a feather-like touch on his lips and a little bit of tingle. But before he could taste it properly, the feather-light kiss had disappeared.

He was at a loss and subconsciously licked his lower lip…it seemed to taste a bit like cumin.

Upon seeing this, Xiang Han was inexplicably overjoyed. He whispered a “good night” and left unhurriedly.

Meng Ze continued to maintain a stiff posture. He didn’t know how long it took before he finally retracted his hands. When he clenched his fists, he found that his palms were actually hot.

That must be… fake. Even if he got hormone therapy, it’s impossible to grow a chest in a month. So it’s fake, it must be fake…

Meng Ze kept convincing himself. After finally calming down, he couldn’t help but touch his lips, unconsciously recalling their kiss just now.

The security uncle finally couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted, his accent heavy, “Young man, if you are really reluctant to let her go, just chase after her, okay? Don’t block the way.”

Meng Ze was dragged back to his senses, feeling a little embarrassed. He hurriedly reached out and pulled the car door shut before driving off.

On the other hand, after the kiss, Xiang Han became more certain that Meng Ze also had feelings for him. The only reason he would pay attention to the female lead was because of the plot.

Thinking of the way Meng Ze froze, he couldn’t help but fall onto the sofa while laughing. By the time he had laughed his fill, he got the system to pull up the relevant information and began to work out a strategy for his upcoming business trip.

Xiang Han took the time to analyse every scene where Meng Ze interacted with the female lead and felt that he was easily influenced by the plot. Therefore, he should take advantage of the time where Meng Ze is separated from the female lead to launch a fierce attack and take him down.

While formulating his attack plan, Xiang Han couldn’t hold himself back from reading the overbearing CEO novel and almost missed the plane the next day.

Because he only slept for two hours last night, after getting on the plane, Xiang Han let out a yawn and immediately fell asleep.

Meng Ze didn’t sleep well last night either. His mind was full of the kiss they shared and the feeling on the palm. Even when he fell asleep, his dreams were…very charming.

Their seats were side by side. Meng Ze still couldn’t sleep, so he could only look enviously at a certain person who was sound asleep.

After watching for a long time, his feelings suddenly began to stir. Meng Ze hurriedly withdrew his gaze and tried to go to sleep. But when his eyes closed, it was the scene of the kiss again; it was an endless loop.

When getting off the plane, Meng Ze was a little dispirited, but Xiang Han was very energetic. He smiled and asked, “President Meng, would you like to go to the hotel or the branch office first?”

“The hotel.” He was tired and needed to rest.

“Okay.” Xiang Han quickly contacted the representative sent by the branch to pick them up. After getting in the car, he told them, “Go to the hotel first.”

Meng Ze came to Chen Shi for two main reasons. One was to inspect the branch office, and the other was to participate in the real estate economic forum.

While he was resting, Xiang Han was busy planning their itinerary with the people in the branch office. Apart from important matters, he also arranged a lot of less important things to make sure their business trip was a pleasant one as well as to deepen their relationship.

Meng Ze didn’t wake up until late afternoon. During this period, he had some chaotic dreams which left him a little startled when he saw Xiang Han again.

After Xiang Han was done with the itinerary, he noticed Meng Ze was silent and reminded him, “President Meng?”

Meng Ze hurriedly withdrew his gaze and nodded, “Let’s go see Zhang Jiang and the others first.”

As it was almost time to get off work, Meng Ze postponed the inspection and only met with the branch managers.

Xiang Han accompanied him throughout the whole process and was very dedicated… in letting the system record the main points of discussion of the meeting.

After returning to the hotel, Meng Ze flipped through the meeting minutes and couldn’t help praising him.

In fact, after learning the truth, he discovered that Geng Xiao Han was different from what was described in the investigation report. As Secretary Geng, he was a serious and capable worker. The only problem was his crush… No, it wasn’t actually a problem.

But why was the investigation report so different from reality?

Meng Ze was a little puzzled. However, after some thought, he believed that since Secretary Geng was busy with work now, he naturally wouldn’t have time to mess around. Besides, didn’t he have a crush on him? It’s normal not to go to such places.

As for his skills, the report did not mention Geng Xiao Han’s work capability at all. After all, he never had a job before. Perhaps he has always been smart and good at these things, and being by his side spurred him to work harder…

While he was lost in thoughts, there was a knock on the door.

Meng Ze hurriedly put down the meeting minutes and walked over to open the door. He instantly froze.

Xiang Han, dressed in white pyjamas, leaned against the doorframe. Seeing Meng Ze open the door, he curled his lips and chuckled. He suddenly lifted the hem of his shirt and slightly raised his pale and slender legs, resting it against the door frame. He looked coquettishly at him and asked, “Sir, do you need some special service?”

Meng Ze: “…” Any higher and you’ll be exposed.

A service staff member passed by. “…”

Meng Ze suddenly returned to his senses. Without a word, he dragged Xiang Han in and slammed the door shut with a ‘bang’.

The service staff, “… So desperate? No, wait a minute. We are a high-end hotel, how did that woman get in?”

In the room, Meng Ze finally calmed down and asked, “What is it?”

In fact, all he wanted to do was to shout: stop lifting up your shirt, I know you have a dick!

However, he was speechless once he recalled Xiang Han’s smooth and creamy legs that are unlike a man’s, as well as how he had changed so much just because of ‘his preference for women’. If he were to reject him outright, would Secretary Geng suffer an extreme blow? What if he were to do something extreme out of affection?

Injecting oestrogen is not good for one’s health. If Secretary Geng had really undergone this procedure, he should dissuade him as soon as possible…

Meng Ze frowned. Xiang Han couldn’t tell what he was thinking. He only smiled and said, “I was just kidding, President Meng. The shower in my room seems to be broken. Can I use yours?”

Meng Ze wanted to tell Xiang Han that he should have gone to the front desk for this sort of matter, but before he realised, he had already nodded his head twice and agreed.

It wasn’t until Xiang Han had thanked him and walked into the bathroom, did he come back to his senses and wonder, why had he agreed?

Xiang Han booked the room and though it looked normal at first glance, the bathroom wall was made of frosted glass. Once the water vapour rose, though the interior was not visible, he could see a vague outline.

Followed by that, he heard the sound of water running. Meng Ze suddenly felt a little confused. Though he held a book in his hand, his heart had already drifted a thousand miles away.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Meng Ze was rather glum. He frowned when he saw that it was the manager. “What is it?”

The manager cleared his throat and politely explained his position before subtly hinting, “Sir, our hotel doesn’t allow that sort of service.”

“What service?”

“Ahem, like… prostitution.”

Meng Ze: “…”

Ten minutes later, the manager apologised as he exited the room and reminded Xiang Han, who had just taken a shower, “If there is a problem with your room, you can contact the front desk at any time.”

“I see, thanks a lot.” Xiang Han was embarrassed. He came here to flirt with someone, not to prostitute himself.

However, things like embarrassment were something Xiang Han has long been used to. After sending the manager away, he turned around calmly and stared at Meng Ze. Without warning, he leaned in and kissed him, then quickly backed away, as if nothing had happened.

He smiled. “Good night, President Meng.”

Meng Ze stood there blankly, only whispering ‘good night’ long after he had left.

He wasn’t sure how long he stood by the door before he raised a hand to lightly touch the part where he had been kissed. He abruptly retracted his hand.

After a while, Meng Ze walked into the bathroom, the lingering heat instantly rushed to his face, coupled with a hint of fragrance from the soap. Thinking of how Xiang Han had just bathed here not long ago, his heartbeat quickened.

At that moment, Meng Ze suddenly realised that he had been moved.

The author has something to say:

Xiang Han: How did you realise that you had fallen for me?

Meng Ze: Because of the soap…

Xiang Han: It wasn’t because of the kiss?!
