Chapter 283: 283 Take yourself Chapter 283: 283 Take yourself At 9 p.m., Yan Shixiu finished his last meeting and returned to his office where Xun Yinghua nervously leaned against the door, asking, “Mr. Yan, are you not going home tonight? Miss An is waiting.”

Yan Shixiu sat down in his office chair and thought about his tattoo still scabbing, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, “Think of an excuse for me.”

“Mr. Yan, aren’t you putting me in a difficult position? We’ve already used the business trip excuse and definitely can’t use it again today. If you’re in Yancheng and not going home, even I would start having wild thoughts. Besides, you’ve been looking at your phone all day; you must be really missing Miss An…”

“No, rather…”

“How about I think of one for you?” came a proud voice from the office door.

Yan Shixiu looked up to see who it was and couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

The little assistant tactfully exited the office and quietly shut the door behind her to avoid any collateral damage.

Shi Lan stood at the door, and Yan Shixiu sat in his chair. They looked at each other for a few seconds, and Uncle Yan had to admit defeat; he stood up from the chair to coax her, “It’s my fault.”

“What are you playing at?” Shi Lan wasn’t suspicious of Mr. Yan’s feelings changing or anything; she just wanted to know what this man was up to behind her back.

Yan Shixiu led Shi Lan into their exclusive rest area, then pinned her against the wall, confessing, “I actually wanted to give you a surprise.”

“Not to say anything, but Uncle Yan, your tricks have no technical content at all,” the lady scoffed.

“I can’t bear to deceive you, help me take off my clothes…” said Yan Shixiu suddenly.

“Why don’t you explain things first?”

Yan Shixiu grabbed her hand, leading it to his shirt. Shi Lan, resigned, began to unbutton his shirt; then, she faintly saw the design on his left waist. Only when his shirt fell to the ground did Shi Lan see the complete tattoo clearly.

The whole tattoo was about three fingers wide and as long as a palm, featuring a designed combination of letters spelling Shi Lan’s name.

But between Shi and Lan, a black dot separated them, so the entire tattoo was both her name alone and a combination of their names together.

The lady gently touched the scabbed and reddened area on Yan Shixiu’s body, asking, “Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by others being so childish, as the chairman of Shuangshi Group?”

Yan Shixiu looked at Shi Lan and hugged her tight as if only then could he feel secure, “Sometimes I dream and can’t believe I have fully obtained you; it makes me panic. At times, I fear you can’t see my feelings for you and fear not expressing them in time. Having this unique mark of yours on my body, don’t you feel more secure?”

After listening, Shi Lan crouched down, kissed the tattoo, and then said, “Yan Shixiu, you are so starved of love. What can I use to fill your emptiness, hmm?”

Yan Shixiu pulled her up and kissed her lips, “Use yourself.”

The two individuals, who had once completely disbelieved in love, now always felt that the love they received and gave was not enough.

By the time the battle quelled, it was already well past midnight.

Having not seen each other for several days and brimming with desire, a fierce encounter unfolded, through which their feelings were finally released and vented.

After calming down, Yan Shixiu held Shi Lan and asked, “Can this be considered one of the engagement gifts?”

“It doesn’t count,” Shi Lan replied dully.

“Miss, you really are hard to please.”

“It’s not that difficult; I was quite satisfied just now,” Shi Lan playfully retorted, “Moreover, I’ll make you understand, why this doesn’t count.”
