Crazy! The school beauty's mother works as my secretary!

893 You continue

The guest room was so quiet that she could hear the wind rustling through the windowpane and hear his heartbeat through her sweater, deep and powerful, making her heart pound.

"You..." She was about to say something when her aunt's voice suddenly came from downstairs, tinged with urgency: "Qingqian! Come down and give me a hand!"

As if burned by hot coals, Lu Qingqian pushed Chen Mo away abruptly, frantically smoothing out the wrinkles on her sweater, her voice still carrying a hint of panic: "I'm going downstairs first, you rest well."

Chen Mo watched her hurried departure, a smile spreading across his eyes. But just as she was about to step out of the room, he added softly, "I'll wait for you tonight."

Lu Qingqian paused for a moment, but without turning around, she waved hastily before running downstairs, her skirt swaying gently with her movements. Chen Mo watched her figure disappear before slowly closing his eyes—perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol, he soon fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Mo was awakened by the soft sound of writing. He turned his head and saw Lu Qingqian sitting at the desk by the bed, intently writing something, her brows slightly furrowed and her expression meticulous. She didn't even notice that he had gotten up and was tiptoeing behind her.

Upon seeing the English manuscript she had written, Chen Mo was about to speak when he saw Lu Qingqian stop writing, tapping the paper with her fingertip, and muttering to herself, "How can this word be translated to best capture its original meaning?"

“Use ‘Shanghai Bund’.” Chen Mo’s voice rang in her ears.

"The Bund? Wow! How wonderful! How come I didn't think of that!" Lu Qingqian looked up in surprise, but unexpectedly bumped into Chen Mo's face, their lips lightly touching.

"Oh!" She was both surprised and embarrassed. When she saw that it was Chen Mo, she breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared in her eyes: "How did you wake up? But your English has improved a lot. It seems that Professor Zeng has taught you everything he knows."

Chen Mo could easily detect the hint of jealousy in her words. He smiled and sat down next to her, the faint fragrance of her body lingering around his nose: "It's alright, mainly because Professor Lu laid a solid foundation for me back then."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mo leaned down and gently kissed her blushing cheek.

"Ah~ what?" Lu Qingqian bit her lip lightly, her eyes sparkling, and gave him a charmingly flirtatious glare.

Chen Mo's smile deepened as he slowly uttered a single word: "Damn..."

"Huh?" Lu Qingqian was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, and her cheeks instantly burned even hotter—this guy was clearly "driving" and had gone straight to the highway, not even bothering to hide it!

"Pah, stop messing around, I still have to translate." She nudged Chen Mo's arm, trying to get back to the main topic.

"You translate yours, I'll play mine." Chen Mo wouldn't give up, his fingertips gently scratching the back of her hand, causing her to tremble slightly.

Lu Qingqian blushed and felt flustered, unable to concentrate on translating. "Stop messing around, let me finish translating first, okay?"

"I'll help you translate later." Chen Mo's voice was deep and gentle. Before he finished speaking, he gently pulled her into his arms. Lu Qingqian's body went limp, and she involuntarily leaned against him, even her breathing became erratic.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and her aunt's voice came in: "Qingqian... um~"

Upon seeing the two embracing, the aunt froze on the spot, her cheeks flushing red. She hurriedly waved her hands, saying, "I didn't see anything! Qingqian, you two continue, continue..."

As she spoke, she turned to leave, but her eyes couldn't help glancing at the two of them, and she muttered to herself, "Young people these days are really bold."

Lu Qingqian quickly got up from Chen Mo's embrace, her cheeks flushed red, and glared at him reproachfully: "It's all your fault, your aunt saw us..."
