Chapter 118: Tonight Doesn't Seem to Be Going Well...

"You should be the one massaging yourself!" Gan Bingning glared at Xue Tian'ai with a flushed face, her voice laced with indignation.

"Isn't it perfectly normal for a man to massage himself?" Xue Tian'ai replied, looking indifferent. "You know, a man's left and right hands are his most loyal companions. They will never cheat on him!"

"..." Gan Bingning was momentarily stunned. It seemed she had underestimated the extent of Xue Tian'ai's shamelessness; he could say such lewd things right to a woman's face. She was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to retort to this "shameless" scoundrel.

"But if you aren't massaging yourself, then it must be my merit! Hehe..." Xue Tian'ai stared intently at Gan Bingning’s chest for a moment before nodding.

"Your merit?" Gan Bingning raised an eyebrow, asking with a hint of curiosity.

"Yes. Think about that night at the hotel and that morning in the office... haven't my hands been working hard to massage you?" Xue Tian'ai gestured with his hands, making a kneading motion while leering at her.

"Tian'ai, you... what are you saying! Honestly!" Hearing such scandalous words, Gan Bingning’s face turned completely crimson.

"I'm talking about things that aren't suitable for children, but things that you and I both understand!" Xue Tian'ai chuckled and leaned toward her, a wicked, glinting light appearing in his eyes.

"What... what are you doing? This is an office! You can't just do whatever you want!" Having learned her lesson from the last time she was almost caught by Qin Mengxue, she was still a bit fearful. She quickly stood up and moved away from him, her face burning with embarrassment.

"What are you afraid of? It's not like we haven't done it in the office before," Xue Tian'ai said, standing up and closing the distance between them again.

"No, no, no... what if someone walks in?" Gan Bingning backed away, moving behind the sofa.

"It's fine, I locked the door when I came in!" Xue Tian'ai leaned one hand against the sofa, vaulted over it, and caught her by the shoulders.

"Now you can't run away, can you?" he said with a wicked grin, leaning down to blow a breath of hot air against her neck.

"Tian'ai, don't... wuwuwu..." Gan Bingning looked at him nervously, pleading with him; she knew he was truly capable of doing such things in the office!

But Xue Tian'ai didn't give her another chance to think. He pressed his lips against her soft, alluring mouth, his tongue forcing its way past her half-hearted resistance, domineeringly claiming her beauty. His hands were not idle either; they slipped beneath her professional blouse, savoring the soft curves beneath.

In an instant, Gan Bingning’s stiff body turned soft, and she slumped into his warm embrace, a deep crimson flush of desire spreading across her face. Her silky tongue began to respond with growing passion, and the two were soon lost in a heated kiss. The temperature in the room seemed to rise.

Feeling her losing control, Xue Tian'ai smiled wickedly and pulled away from her cherry lips. Gan Bingning leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat as she gasped for fresh air.

"Come on, let's continue!" Xue Tian'ai hugged her tightly, enjoying the fragrance of her body as he guided her toward the desk and pressed her down into the chair.

He moved his hands from her shoulders, gently caressing her soft, fair cheeks before leaning down to bury his face in her hair, greedily inhaling her unique scent.

"Bingning, is it okay?" he whispered into her ear.

Hearing his magnetic voice and breathing in his strong, masculine scent, her heart raced. "Mm... mm... do as you please..."

She squeezed her eyes shut. Although they had been intimate in the office before, it was still incredibly embarrassing! At the same time, she felt a flicker of nervousness. Last time, they had been nearly caught by Qin Mengxue; who knew if someone might walk in now? After all, she was a department manager, and things were often busy. She felt a mix of shyness, anxiety, and a thrill of excitement.

Xue Tian'ai smiled, his hands tracing slowly up from her waist... teasingly... causing her body to tremble. His hands drew closer and closer to the peak of her soft curves... moving slower and slower... But just as he was about to touch that sensitive spot, he abruptly changed direction, moving back up to her shoulders.

He began to gently knead and massage her shoulders. "How about that, Bingning? Is my pressure okay? Does it feel good?"

"Ah... eh?" Gan Bingning, who had been prepared to surrender, was stunned by his actions and words. She turned her head, looking at him with surprise. "You... how..."

Her heart was far from calm.

"I'm just giving you a massage, of course!" Xue Tian'ai continued, looking at her with a candid, smiling expression. His eyes were clear, completely devoid of the lewdness from a moment ago.

"Wait... aren't you... shouldn't we... right now..." She was clearly thrown off by the sudden shift, her words stumbling.

"Aren't you... shouldn't we... right now..." Xue Tian'ai mimicked her, his tone playful.

"..." Gan Bingning lowered her head, her face burning as she tried to hide her embarrassment.

"Hm?" He leaned closer to her face, smirking. "Bingning, were you having impure thoughts? I just wanted to massage you and help you relieve some stress!"

"Ah! Don't say that, you're not allowed to say that!" She hurriedly covered her face, crying out in protest.

Xue Tian'ai burst into laughter at her reaction, patting her head gently. "Bingning, why are you so fun to tease?"

"Hmph! Don't touch me!" Embarrassed, she rolled her eyes and swatted his hand away.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry!" His hands began to wander again.

This time, Gan Bingning didn't stop him. She just pouted and turned her head away, looking effortlessly charming.

"How about we go out to dinner tonight, and then find a place for some 'in-depth' communication?" he suggested with a grin.

"Really?" Her eyes lit up, and she turned back to look at him with excitement.

Seeing her mood shift so quickly, Xue Tian'ai couldn't help but laugh. Women were really easy to coax sometimes!

"Of course! What do you want to eat? My treat!" He patted his chest, acting like a wealthy nouveau riche.

"Ah! I want to eat Japanese sukiyaki! Wagyu beef, salmon, caviar sushi, and..." She began listing one expensive dish after another. Then, she suddenly paused, her expression falling. "It looks like tonight won't work..."

"Hm? Why? Do you have plans?" he asked, surprised.

"Yes, or rather, you have plans..." She nodded and pointed at him.

"Me?" He was stunned; he didn't even know he had plans.

"Yes, you. When I was in a meeting with President Su in Qin's office earlier, she mentioned she wanted to take you to dinner tonight... so I'm afraid tonight we..." she said hesitantly.

"Ah... I see." He nodded. "That is a pity."

"Sigh..." Gan Bingning sighed, looking genuinely disappointed.

"Since we don't have time tonight, let's just finish things quickly right now!" Xue Tian'ai suddenly blurted out.

Gan Bingning stared at him, dumbfounded. Before she could react, he scooped her up from the office chair and carried her toward the sofa, smiling wickedly. "A moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold! We can't waste this precious time!"

"Eh? Aren't you... no..." She finally realized what was happening and gasped in shock.

"I never said that!" Xue Tian'ai set her down on the sofa and looked at her with a lascivious grin...

...Shortly after, the office was filled with the scents of spring...
