Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Whoever it is will become your captive

Xia Yubing blinked blankly, "...Husband? Are you confessing to someone?"

She tilted her face slightly, her breath fragrant, warm and moist as it brushed against Lin Shuang’s face.

It’s not like that! I’m not!

Lin Shuang pursed his lips, "I mean, you don’t have to try to change anything, just be yourself."

Xia Yubing already held her cheeks, intoxicated, "I don’t care! It is a confession!"

She spun around in place and jumped merrily, "I wasn’t ready yet, your sudden confession really makes me so shy~"

Lin Shuang chuckled softly.

It seems that girls who like you are really easy to please, a casual word can make them happy for a long time.

However, Lin Shuang was a bit troubled now, as it seemed the number of girls who liked him was getting a bit too many...

Xia Yubing twirled excitedly and then sat down on the floor with a thump.

"No, no, since my husband has confessed to me, I must give him a gift in return."

Saying this, she reached behind her, lifted her skirt, and pulled down her stockings.

Then Lin Shuang heard a "pop" sound—a sharp and elastic noise as the black silk was pulled down from the hip line and snapped against her thighs.

He was stunned for a moment, watching as this Xia fairy started to slowly peel the black stockings off her legs.

Beneath the black stockings, the skin of the girl’s legs revealed itself gradually, appearing even whiter than usual, like freshly peeled egg whites.

Xia Yubing still pinched her voice coyly, "Husband, don’t stare at me, I’ll be shy."

By the time she said this, the stockings on her legs were almost completely removed, leaving only the last part around her feet.

She sat on the floor, kicked off her small shoes, stretched her long legs, and the last bit of the stockings hooked on her toes, straining her instep, handed it to Lin Shuang.

"The last bit, can my husband help me take it off?"

Lin Shuang... was truly completely manipulated by her.

This Xia fairy was way too cunning.

He took down this ’gift’, casually tickling her instep, "Naughty."

"Mmm~ It’s so ticklish, you’re so mean, husband."

Xia Yubing pulled back her feet, sitting on the floor and tilting her head, "Husband, do you like this gift? It’s also okay to use it for naughty things, right? Remember to tell me if it’s useful."

The stockings still retained the girl’s warmth; Lin Shuang put it in his pocket, "I kind of like it."

Xia Yubing stood up with a giggly smile, "Alright, today’s goal is more than achieved, my husband was so nice today, can you give me a bit more sweetness in the future?"

Lin Shuang spread his hands, "I think it’s better to give you, this little fairy, some hardship!"

Otherwise, she really would be too easy to manipulate!

Xia Yubing thoughtfully nodded, "Hardship? Does husband want me to eat your ’hardship’? Although it sounds like a weird play, if it’s husband, Yubing can do it."

Lin Shuang was both amused and defeated, "...I really can’t win against you!"

Xia Yubing’s laughter was like wind chimes under the eaves, clear and crisp, as she waved goodbye to Lin Shuang, preparing to leave the indoor arena.

Lin Shuang lagged behind, watching her graceful figure, then saw her suddenly turn around.

Her skirt fluttered, lifting a breeze.

She rushed towards him, wrapped around his neck, and pecked lightly on his cheek.

It was like a dragonfly touching the water, swiftly coming and going.

Yet on the calm surface, it left long-lasting ripples, spreading out circle by circle.

"Husband, I’m really happy today."

Yubing said that and then ran off with a laugh.

Leaving Lin Shuang with a back he couldn’t catch.

He stood there dazed for a while, then reached out and gently touched his cheek, the spot where she had pecked.

His heart was pounding quite fiercely...

Oh no, it seems like he has already become enchanted by the Xia fairy.

Next time, he must nibble back.

Sadly, in the days that followed, Lin Shuang didn’t get a chance to see Yubing.

She had gone to her parents’ place, with some matters to attend to at home.

Days passed quickly, and eventually, Yixin’s comprehensive report on Xiao Lin Group was handed over to Lin Shuang.

In the Xiao Lin Group office, Lin Shuang sat in the boss’s chair, gently swaying with the report in his hand.

Yixin stood elegantly beside him, dressed in a chic OL suit.

"In simple terms, the main components of our factory’s MP3 and MP4 products include the casing design, processor, screen, and storage."

"Among these, our factory has some capabilities in self-developing processor chips and holds several related patents, while for screens, we tend to collaborate with other manufacturers and for storage, we directly purchase in bulk."

"Our Xiao Lin Group’s current strengths lie in our extensive experience in designing, manufacturing, and marketing related products. After this period of research, I believe the market’s fondness for our group’s design language and brand acceptance is still quite high."

"I’ve compiled the relevant market data for you to review."

Lin Shuang looked through the data, and contrary to his previous estimates, the MP3 market had indeed gradually begun to stagnate and decline.

However, the MP4 market was still slowly rising, seeming like it could sustain a few more product generations while gradually transitioning its marketing strategy.

Lin Shuang pondered for a moment, then spoke, "I think our future strategy could focus on developing new products for the MP4. Secretary Xia, what do you think?"

"I think the same, CEO."

"Very well, great minds think alike! Let’s rest for a few days and then slowly figure out our next steps."

The task System Lady had provided to "develop Xiao Lin Group vigorously" included a progress bar, gradually offering some so-called "memory clues" until the ultimate goal of making Xiao Lin Group one of the top 500 in the world.

If some forgotten memories from his past life could be recovered, he would try to retrieve them.

But since he had been reborn, living well in the present was certainly the most important.

Lin Shuang spun around twice in his chair and stopped to look at Secretary Xia.

"Secretary Xia, you seem to be in good spirits lately."

"...Boss, as per your instructions, I didn’t attend some of the less important meetings."

"Very good. For now, rest and gather strength, as we may get busy later."

"...Okay, boss."

Lin Shuang smiled devilishly, "Be energetic~"

"Okay, boss!"

"If you have any complaints, feel free to tell me. I try to be a considerate and conscientious boss."

Secretary Xia muttered quietly, "Can I really complain about the boss..."

Lin Shuang moved his chair closer, "Hm? What did you say, Secretary Xia?"

Secretary Xia quickly waved her hands, "Nothing, boss, all is good..."

"You can use this office usually; there’s even a bed for resting."

Lin Shuang smiled, "I heard from Yubing that you like watching shows and playing games. There’s also a TV in here. How about I approve some budget for you to buy some equipment?"

Secretary Xia shivered: The boss isn’t planning to make me stay and work 24/7 in the office, is he?
