He bowed his head and gave Yan Qingsi another kiss on the lips. “Thank goodness I came then. Otherwise, my mother would have another excuse to use me as the butt of her jokes if she knew about it.”


  Ji Mianmian observed the two embracing each other without reservations. Her heart twanged a sour note. ‘My goddess……my goddess has a boyfriend. How sad.’


  However……

  “Boss, Miss Qingsi, don’t you two feel hot?”


  It was past four o’clock in the afternoon, but the heat showed no signs of subsiding. A brief exposure to the sun had already made her feel dizzy with heat. How did these two clasp each other so tightly and not feel a thing?

  Did falling in love made a person so happy that they were immune to such blistering weather?

  Ji Mianmian found it hard to understand them.

  Only then did Yan Qingsi felt the torrid heat clinging onto her skin and the lightness in her head. “It’s way too hot,” she said. “I’ll go bathe and change, and then we’ll go back to the hotel.”


  “Let’s not go back to the hotel after you’ve bathed. It’s already past four. I’ll take the two of you to eat some good stuff afterward.”


  Ji Mianmian whooped in delight at the promise of food. “You’re the best, boss! You’re the best!”


  Yan Qingsi pinched her face and dragged her away.

  While Yan Qingsi bathed, Ji Mianmian and Lil Xu kept her belongings. Lil Xu transferred some of Yan Qingsi’s belongings onto the car. Yue Tingfeng played with Yan Qingsi’s mini fan. He lifted his gaze and looked at Ji Mianmian.

  “Qingsi has lost weight over these past two days,” he said, as if he was having a casual conversation with Ji Mianmian. “Has she not been eating well?”


  “Oh, yes. She was busy and there were so many things to settle. Miss Qingsi didn’t have much time to eat.”


  “They usually have gatherings when the filming is almost over. There should be quite a few celebratory dinners these past few days. Did they invite her?”


  “Of course they did, but…… Miss Qingsi didn’t bother with them, and she didn’t even want to attend the celebrations sometimes.”


  “That’s all right…… however, I’ve heard that she retired late for these past few nights. She only came back at one or two in the morning two days ago. Not to mention that it was a man who saw her off. What’s going on?” Yue Tingfeng’s voice was tinged with gloominess.

  “Boss, please don’t suspect Miss Qingsi!” Ji Mianmian explained hurriedly. “She’s never had any feelings towards any other man. Two days ago, if only Miss Qingsi hadn’t been…… been……”


  Ji Mianmian slapped a hand over her mouth and turned away from him, her heart pounding madly. Dammit, she almost let everything slip.

  Boss Yue was dangerous. He actually goaded her into talking, and she almost spilled everything out.

  The goddess has ordered that absolutely no one was to know that she had been kidnapped for two days. Especially not Yue Tingfeng.

  Ji Mianmian wanted to pinch herself so badly. She almost revealed everything!

  Yue Tingfeng turned the mini fan on. Tiny gusts of air blew the stray strands of hair on his forehead aside. A small smile graced his lips. “Been what?”


  That smile made Ji Mianmian’s heart pound. She shook her head. “It’s nothing, it’s nothing……”


  “How much is your salary per month now?” Yue Tingfeng asked abruptly.

  “I…… I…… Including food and accommodation…… 4000, because…… I’m still interning.”


  “Do you think that 4000 for an intern is not enough?”


  “No, no, no. It’s enough. It’s more than enough……” Ji Mianmian stammered.

  “Then do you know the person who pays you your salary?”


  “Yes. It’s Miss Qingsi……” Ji Mianmian gulped at the sight of Yue Tingfeng’s expression and hastily changed her answer. “It’s you, Boss. You provide my bread and butter, Boss. I will treat you with utmost respect……”


  ——


  Yue Tingfeng, you manipulative b*stard, Yan Qingsi thought. I never imagined that you were this bratty…… I’ll kick you out for two months!
