Jia pressed the glass shard on his neck, digging it slightly deeper and deeper with every passing second. The ball was in her cue now.

  Lu Bojing gulped and wiped his forehead.

  The demon woman really overpowered Boss!?

  With her other hand, she had already tightly held his wrists which Mingshen didn't realize when it even happened. He was so lost in his trance that he could only admire her strength.

  Mingshen was genuinely convinced that striking him at his private part was the last trick up her sleeve. But she had craftily hidden the piece of glass.

  He went a little back along the memory lane and remembered how she had suddenly attacked him while he was still talking.

  "Hahaha!" Mingshen's eyes sparkled in amusement and realization…… "So you hid the shard at that time. Quite sneaky huh, Spicy? It wasn't to take me by shock but to actually hide your ultimate weapon."

  Jia sneered. "Glad to know that your brain works well."

  "You are really, really sneaky~"

  "Heh. It's a fight. As long as you have the slightest advantage to win, everything is fair. Now, you will take me out of this damn place right now. Try to resist, and I won't hesitate to slice your neck," she narrowed her eyes. "Get moving."

  Mingshen snickered.

  "No can do, Spicy. I already told you that you cannot leave here. And I am more than capable enough of stopping you."

  Jia didn't lower her stance even for a single moment. Her grip on her weapon and his wrists were just as firm.

  "Don't waste my time. If I see you lift even a finger I am gonna-"

  "I don't need to lift my finger dear," He smiled and quietly said.

  Before she could ascertain what was going to happen, Mingshen leaned his head and captured her lips.

  Lu Bojing choked so hard that he thought he could see the death God coming towards him to take him away.

  Ah, Ah, Ah! What did I just see!? B-Boss is k-kissing the d-demon woman!? Boss is kissing a woman!?

  He tremblingly fell back on his butt in disbelief.

  Jia's state wasn't any better. She went into such deep shock that she could only rapidly blink her eyes as Mingshen tightly pressed his lips on hers. Seconds ticked by, and she finally realized that the crazy doctor was kissing her.

  But she was already way too late.

  Jia was so completely shell-shocked by the sudden kiss that the hand which held the shard of glass slightly trembled and lowered. It was just for a second but enough for Mingshen. He thoroughly enjoyed her blank and dumbfounded reaction, and he wished to continue kissing for a while but alas.

  He didn't want the tigress to come out of her shocked stupor and lose his precious chance.

  Mingshen quickly grabbed her wrist and threw the glass in a flash. He overturned the situation in seconds and flipped on top of her. He locked her wrists with his hands and her legs by pressing his knees on them. There was no scope for Jia to move a single inch.

  "Well, well. Looks like the situation has taken a turn~" with a devilish smile on his lips, he chuckled.

  "You bastard…"

  Jia narrowed her eyes and if looks could kill, Mingshen would have already died a thousand times.

  "You fucking dare kiss me…" her voice was as cold as the Arctic and her gaze was as sharp as a knife.

  Mingshen innocently tilted his head. "As long as you have the slightest advantage to win, everything is fair."

  Jia froze. Her brow heavily twitched.

  "I remember a certain someone saying this as she had pointed her weapon at my neck."

  She gritted her teeth.

  "If a kiss could save me the trouble of letting you escape, then why not?" He shrugged. "Everything is fair in love and war, Spicy~"

  Her own words came to bite her back like a traitor. She regretted getting taken aback and gave him that precious window to overturn the situation. Resistance was futile.

  Mingshen was so strong that under his hold, she even started to feel breathless.

  Damn it! I was so close!

  He effortlessly picked her and threw her on top of his shoulder like a sack.

  "You bastard!!"

  "Thank you for the compliment."

  Of course, he had pinned her arms and legs so that she couldn't attack again. Back into the lab and back on her bed, Mingshen placed her again.

  Lu Bojing could only watch everything, dumbfounded.

  "Yang Mingshen! How dare you kiss me!?"

  To think that a criminal kissed her made her blood boil in anger. She was so mad that she had an urge to kill him right now even if it broke the law that she always followed.

  Mingshen didn't answer and instead cuffed her wrist on the pole. He did a basic checkup of ger vitals and lazily sat on his chair.

  "Let's play a game, Spicy," he chuckled.

  "Shut it!"

  "I am serious. It's for your benefit, so you should listen to it. I give you thirty days."

  Jia narrowed her eyes.

  He smiled. "Try to escape from my lab. I won't cuff your hands or feet. I will remove the camera from your room too. If you could step out of my lab without being caught, then it's your victory. But if you can't get out even after thirty days are over, then you will give up and stay here and let me do as I please with your heart."

  She silently stared at him.

  "Am I not so generous?" he laughed. "So, do you accept?"

  "I accept," she didn't waste any moment.

  "Wonderful!" his demeanor brightened. "I am looking forward to our game of tag, Spicy. Ah, I cannot wait to catch my little rabbit~"

  She sneered. "We'll see. I feel sorry for that woman, but I am gonna win."

  He smiled. "Let's see."

  He turned and narrowed his eyes. "I think I don't give you much work to do."

  Lu Bojing stiffened. "I-I am leaving!" he immediately scurried away.

  As Mingshen stepped out and shut the door, he leaned his back on the wall. He lifted his finger and touched his lips in a daze as he recalled the kiss.

  "Heh. She is spicy but……her lips are surely sweet……" he softly chuckled.
