Chapter 2113: Chapter 2113: Boss Lady (9)
Her little face, which hadn’t fully recovered, turned explosively red again, almost dripping with blood.
She swallowed, not daring to look at Duan Xi anymore, her small backside instinctively inched outward, trying to get off him, but Duan Xi wouldn’t let her go. His big hand wrapped around her waist, his chin rested on her forehead, and he asked softly in her ear, "Can you feel it? It’s not disdain."
It’s a longing that reaches the bone!
Jiaojiao’s small waist stiffened, and she was completely unsure how to react. Even though she was in a clean environment, she wasn’t naïve. Some things she somewhat knew even if no one taught her, especially since the girls around her were older, and they occasionally talked about it. She hadn’t seen it, but at least she had heard of it.
In the quiet space, the two maintained this position, embracing each other. Even in silence, Jiaojiao felt the atmosphere was alarmingly ambiguous, sticky, making her a bit bashful yet sweetly.
They stayed like this for about ten minutes when the noise outside rose again, signaling the return of the two boys who had gone to buy cake.
Jiaojiao cautiously glanced at Duan Xi, curious and testing, but didn’t expect to meet his gaze, which had been on her all along. Startled, she quickly withdrew her gaze, her face turning crimson again.
Duan Xi, melted by her shy and soft response, reached out and pulled her back into his arms, locking her in, kissed her tender cheek, and comforted her, "Don’t be afraid."
Jiaojiao instinctively wanted to say she wasn’t afraid, but as she looked up and felt the warmth in Duan Xi’s gaze, she chickened out again. Honestly, she was a bit scared, but mostly embarrassed and flustered.
Duan Xi had calmed down enough by then. Holding her, he rose from the sofa, placing her on the ground. He tidied her clothes and hair, then led her to open the door and step outside.
Outside, a dozen or so people looked their way at once. An outgoing-looking guy smiled and asked, "Boss, who is this? Aren’t you going to introduce her?"
In this group of guys, Duan Xi wasn’t the oldest; several were older than him, but no one dared to call him "big brother." Somehow, from some point onward, everyone naturally started calling him Boss.
"This is my girlfriend, fiancée, wife, and the lady boss of Tianyi," Duan Xi introduced naturally.
"Wow~" Several boys whooped and hollered. They actually all knew about Jiaojiao. After all, Duan Xi was a prominent figure at Qing University, and the news that Jiaojiao and he were a couple was known across campus.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" One baby-faced boy immediately shouted.
With that call, everyone else followed suit.
Jiaojiao felt a bit bashful being called sister-in-law by such a group of big boys, but she didn’t feel stage-fright, standing gracefully beside Duan Xi and greeting, "Hello, everyone, I’m Ruan Jiaojiao."
Besides the three roommates of Duan Xi whom Jiaojiao knew, the other five people also started introducing themselves.
"Hello, hello, I’m Yang Chen."
"Hello sister-in-law, I’m Li Ye."
"I’m Chen Jun, sister-in-law."
"And me, me, me, I’m Li Xia," said the baby-faced boy.
Jiaojiao nodded along with their self-introductions until her gaze finally settled on a boy whose temperament seemed a bit cold.
