Chapter 753: 0742 Extinguish Fire

She closed the door, walked softly to the man’s side, and began to knead his shoulders and massage his legs without saying a word!

On the chair, Fu Qiyuan remained as if he heard nothing, looking straight ahead at the document in his hands.

A minute had passed!

Two minutes had passed!

Five minutes had passed!

Then, Fu Qiyuan clearly felt the strength on his shoulders increasing with each passing moment.

Even so, a sullen aura pervaded the entire study.

A trace of amusement flickered in his eyes, and he tossed the document on the table, turning his gaze to the girl.

"Out with it, what’s the matter?" he asked.

Su Ran blinked innocently, "Ah? Nothing’s the matter with me!"

Fu Qiyuan looked at her expressionlessly, "Are you sure there’s nothing?"

"Err... actually, there’s a little something."

Fu Qiyuan propped his head at an angle with one hand on the armrest, leisurely waiting for her to continue.

Su Ran chuckled nervously, concentrating all her wits at that moment.

"Are you tired? You started working as soon as you got back, without even a moment’s rest."

Fu Qiyuan replied, "Not tired."

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Fu Qiyuan responded, "Not hungry."

"Then are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Fu Qiyuan said, "Not thirsty."

"So do you want to sleep? I’ll keep you company!"

"Hmm?"

Fu Qiyuan’s gaze suddenly deepened, looking at her with a hint of a smirk.

Realizing what she had said, Su Ran wished she could bite off her own tongue.

Her brain, oh!

To ask about sleeping?!!

What had she even said?!!

It must have been the influence of Fu Qixiu’s words earlier!

Yes, it must be!

She didn’t want to sleep with him at all!

Fu Qiyuan watched the girl’s chagrined little expression, the corners of his lips curling ever so slightly.

"The ’something’ you mentioned, is it that you want to sleep with me?" he teased.

Su Ran: "..."

Damn it!

That’s clearly not what she meant!

Could he not just automatically disregard everything she had said at the beginning?

"If that were true, it wouldn’t be impossible to satisfy you," he suggested.

Su Ran couldn’t help but grimace, awkwardly clearing her throat.

"It’s not like that."

Hearing this, Fu Qiyuan abruptly swung back around in his chair and picked up the document on the table again, studying it with a serious face.

"Then go amuse yourself, I still have work to do!" he said.

Su Ran: "..."

Why did he flip his mood faster than flipping a book?

Playing hard to get, was he?

Posturing, was he?

Fine, she would play this out with him!

She forcefully spun his chair back around with a push of her hand.

Looking up at him, Su Ran raised her chin, meeting his eyes with a defiant face.

Fu Qiyuan’s brows twitched, "Anything else?"

"Can’t I stay here if there’s nothing wrong?" she asked, glaring fiercely at him, her eyes brimming with threat, as if to say, "Dare to say I can’t and see what happens."

Fu Qiyuan tugged at his lips slightly and then lowered his gaze.

"You can."

Su Ran ’hmphed’ twice, looking smug.

The man said no more, and suddenly the study fell silent.

And that’s when Su Ran belatedly remembered she had come here to apologize.

Given the current situation...

Why did it seem like Fu Qiyuan was acting more like the one who was in the wrong?

Su Ran felt a bit at a loss for a moment; what should she do now?

How was she to soothe Fu Qiyuan’s seemingly fragile heart?

Maybe I should try Fu Qixiu’s method?

A moment later.

Su Ran took a deep breath, a gentle and charming smile appeared on her face, and she spoke softly,

"Fu Qiyuan..."

Her voice was low and full of softness, this tone was one of tenderness and appeasement.

Fu Qiyuan struggled to suppress the upward curve of his mouth and lifted his gaze to look at her.

At that moment, Su Ran lunged forward, wrapping her arms around his neck and, taking advantage of the momentum, sat on his lap.

Fu Qiyuan’s eyes flickered, but instinctively, he wrapped his arms around the girl.

He looked at her and asked,

"What are you doing?"

"Putting out the fire."

Fu Qiyuan raised an eyebrow, "Putting out the fire?"

"Mhm."

Before Su Ran finished speaking, she tipped her head back and kissed him.

Fu Qiyuan was taken aback at first, then a broad smile filled his eyes, and he tightens his grip on her slender waist, responding to her kiss with vigor.

Within their breaths, the air mingled together.

She was encircled within his chest, his scent filling her nostrils.

The study fell into an intimate atmosphere, its temperature rising gradually.

The man’s body also underwent a change.

After a while, Fu Qiyuan caressed the girl’s slightly swollen lips, his gaze deep.

"Putting out the fire? Hmm?"

What she was doing was anything but putting out the fire, it was more like fanning the flames!

Su Ran nodded against his neck, "Mhm, did the fire in your heart extinguish a little?"

Fu Qiyuan looked at her with a meaningful expression, "Fire?"

Su Ran kissed his face before saying,

"Weren’t you angry?"

Fu Qiyuan gazed at her intently, "Should I not be angry?"

"You should."

"Then tell me, why should I be angry?"

Su Ran pursed her lips and admitted her mistake obediently, "Because I did something wrong."

"What did you do wrong?"

With her head lowered, Su Ran said in a pitifully soft voice, "I shouldn’t have raced with Yan Shuming, I shouldn’t have agreed to his conditions, and I definitely shouldn’t have made you worry!"

Seeing her miserable expression, a deep helplessness flashed in Fu Qiyuan’s eyes.

He really had no way of dealing with her.

"Since you know that, you still did it on purpose."

"But you can’t blame me, it was he who provoked me first."

Fu Qiyuan looked at her profoundly, "Isn’t it true that you were setting a trap for him from the start?"

Su Ran didn’t expect to deceive him, "If it weren’t for their bad intentions to start with, no matter how many traps I set, it would have been useless, huh! Since they wanted to see me humiliated, I had to make him pay a price, and I just used the situation to my advantage.

Besides, all your friends think I’m not good enough for you, so I had to show a bit of power to deter them, to tell them I’m not so easily bullied, and to warn them not to even think about stealing you away from me, or setting their sights on you!!"

Fu Qiyuan: "..."

Faced with her rapid-fire explanation, he actually had no reply!

Listening carefully, it really did sound reasonable.

"No sucking up!"

Su Ran looked up at him, completely serious.

"I’m not sucking up at all, otherwise you tell me, which part of what I said is not correct?"

Fu Qiyuan: "..."

He really couldn’t point out anything incorrect in what she said!

A smug look spread across Su Ran’s face, a hint of prideful coyness.

Fu Qiyuan’s gaze was intense as he watched her, "Feeling proud, aren’t you?"

Su Ran tugged at her lips, slightly reining in her expression, "...No."

"Are you so sure that I have no way to deal with you?"

"How could I? You have the most ways to deal with me."

Fu Qiyuan glanced at her irritably, obviously not believing a word she said.

Su Ran also felt her statement lacked credibility and pecked his lips with a hug around his neck.

"I’m sincerely apologizing, can’t you just not be angry, please?"

Fu Qiyuan’s eyes rested on her rosy lips, "Depends on your behavior."

Su Ran understood the hint, and with a gentle smile, her soft lips pressed against his chiseled ones.

Fu Qiyuan ensnared her in his embrace, deepening their kiss.

A seamless kiss, completely airtight!
