Lì Rán watched the spectacle from the side. The moment Feng Feng spoke, she immediately looked at Shěn Sù. Shěn Sù, with his excellent composure, maintained his smile and even chimed in, "Indeed, President Feng is dedicated to her work and never discusses personal matters."
Feng Feng nodded, expressing her gratitude for Shěn Sù's "praise." Lì Rán observed the two of them playing their roles with great interest, finally understanding why their clandestine affair had gone unnoticed by others in their respective companies for so long.
These two astute individuals knew exactly how to put on a good show. However, Shěn Sù was likely feeling quite stifled at the moment.
Lì Rán pulled Shěn Sù along a few steps. She glanced back, raising an eyebrow playfully, "Doesn't feel too good, does it?"
Shěn Sù smiled. "It's just like that." He had endured far worse in the past, so this was nothing compared to what he had been through. Before, Feng Feng had no place for him in her heart; now, it was merely a little game of push and pull between them, nothing significant.
Lì Rán commented, "She's truly beautiful. I didn't get a good look last night, but today I realize she's genuinely stunning. Her temperament is quite different from your previous girlfriends, though."
As an expert, Lì Rán could naturally guess why Shěn Sù liked Feng Feng. "You were attracted by her demeanor, weren't you? People are so perverse; they always crave what they haven't had."
It wasn't just Shěn Sù; even Lì Rán found Feng Feng's aloof and distant aura captivating. If she were a man, she would surely be drawn to someone like her. However, people like her were also difficult to conquer.
Shěn Sù didn't deny Lì Rán's words. He was indeed attracted by Feng Feng's temperament. She was truly unique, and her methods of pursuing a man were so "exquisite."
Cloud Dew Mountain wasn't particularly high. Although Feng Feng hadn't engaged in outdoor activities for a long time, her stamina was still good. She wasn't particularly tired by the time they reached the summit. Chatting with Zhāng Lán along the way made the time pass quickly.
During this period, Shěn Sù appeared before Feng Feng quite a few times. After reaching the mountain, everyone chose a spot for a picnic. Shěn Sù then brought Lì Rán to sit at Feng Feng and Zhāng Lán's table. Feng Feng glanced at the two of them indifferently, showing no particular reaction. In fact, throughout the meal, she barely spoke to Shěn Sù, conversing more with Zhāng Lán.
Feng Feng even proactively invited Zhāng Lán to dinner after descending the mountain. Zhāng Lán readily agreed. They chatted extensively about their university days. When they reminisced about Lán Lán's pursuit of Zhāng Lán, Zhāng Lán couldn't help but laugh. He said jokingly, "Let's not bring that up. President Li and I still have business to conduct."
Liáng Yǔ Fēng was famously devoted to his wife within their circle, and Zhāng Lán didn't want to get caught in any crossfire. His remark amused Feng Feng.
Shěn Sù sat to the side, drinking water, while Lì Rán watched the unfolding drama with amusement.
They descended the mountain at three in the afternoon. Feng Feng and Zhāng Lán boarded the same bus. Shěn Sù and Lì Rán had driven, so they parted ways after reaching the base.
The moment they separated, most of the smile vanished from Shěn Sù's face. The speed of this transformation made Lì Rán chuckle. After getting into the car, Lì Rán couldn't resist teasing him, "I thought you really didn't care. Turns out it was all an act."
Shěn Sù's gaze was fixed on the bus ahead, and he remained silent. Lì Rán followed his gaze, "It seems you won't wait for her to make the first move. She has a date even after reaching the city. Why don't you try waiting by her house like a hunter waiting for a rabbit?"
Shěn Sù was indeed thinking along those lines. He gripped the steering wheel, his eyes narrowing slightly. The bus ahead had already started moving.
At nine-thirty in the evening, Zhāng Lán's car stopped at the apartment building where Feng Feng lived. Feng Feng unbuckled her seatbelt and said, "Thank you."
Zhāng Lán responded casually, "You're too kind. It's a bit late today. Let's visit your place another time when you're free."
Feng Feng replied, "Sure, you're always welcome. Drive carefully."
Feng Feng got out of the car and waved goodbye to Zhāng Lán. After his car drove away, she took out her access card and walked towards the building entrance. As Feng Feng stopped at the door, she felt a scorching gaze. She instinctively looked up and saw Shěn Sù's figure in the shadows to her side.
Feng Feng wasn't surprised to see Shěn Sù here. She ignored his intense gaze, her eyes casually sweeping over him, and she continued to use her access card to open the door. After being ignored by Feng Feng like this, Shěn Sù finally lost his composure and walked over, stopping beside her.
Feng Feng looked at Shěn Sù again. Her gaze was unperturbed; she simply looked at him, unwilling to initiate any conversation. They stared at each other, like a silent war.
Finally, it was Shěn Sù who couldn't stand it anymore. He gently touched Feng Feng's face and asked with a smile, "Enjoy your date, President Feng?"
Now that Shěn Sù had spoken, Feng Feng wouldn't hold back. "Thank you for your concern. It was very enjoyable."
Shěn Sù smiled and put his arm around her waist. "Let's go, President Feng. Take me up for a visit." He deliberately emphasized the last two words, his intentions clearly expressed.
Feng Feng didn't reply. She opened the door and walked in, Shěn Sù following closely behind. They entered the elevator.
As the elevator doors closed, the air pressure dropped, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the space. Shěn Sù moved closer, pressing Feng Feng against the corner of the elevator, his captivating eyes fixed on her, his breathing gradually deepening.
Just as Shěn Sù was about to lean down and kiss her, the elevator stopped. Feng Feng pushed him away and walked out.
As Feng Feng stood at the door, entering the password, Shěn Sù pressed himself against her from behind, his body against hers. His hands massaged her hips, and his hot kisses landed on her neck and behind her ears. The stimulation in several places caused Feng Feng's hands to tremble involuntarily, and she entered the wrong password.
Upon hearing the incorrect password prompt, Shěn Sù smiled and whispered in her ear, "President Feng, you're trembling so much. Do you miss me that much?"
Feng Feng glanced back at him, her tone relatively calm. "Don't do anything reckless in the hallway."
Shěn Sù was unfazed. "Recklessness is what gives you a thrill. I think you quite enjoy it."
Feng Feng ignored his suggestive words, restrained herself, entered the password, and opened the door to her apartment. The moment the door opened, Shěn Sù pushed her in from behind. Feng Feng leaned against the shoe cabinet, and Shěn Sù, pressing her waist, bit her ear.
Given how well they knew each other's bodies, Feng Feng was most aware of why Shěn Sù had come to find her. She threw her bag on the floor and reached behind her. "President Shěn still has the energy to come find me?"
Shěn Sù's scalp tingled at her action. He bit her ear fiercely. "Can I take this as jealousy?"
Feng Feng replied, "As you wish."
Shěn Sù breathed warmly into her ear. "President Feng cares about me so much. How could you endure a week without contacting me? Playing hard to get? Hmm? I didn't expect President Feng to use such tactics."
Feng Feng didn't believe her strategy could fool Shěn Sù. He was too shrewd. She didn't deny it.
Feng Feng's hands moved, and she turned to look into his eyes. Her passionate actions contrasted sharply with her cool tone. "You don't have to take the bait."
Shěn Sù's breathing grew heavier. He held her hand. "Then I've taken the bait. Is President Feng fully responsible?"
