Zihan slowly looked around the spacious office. He took a deep breath then let it out just as slowly.
Perhaps because the office had only recently been completed, it didn't carry Guo Min's familiar scent yet.
For some reason, it felt a little empty. He loosened his tie, removed his blazer, and casually draped it over the arm of the sofa before making himself comfortable.
Minutes slipped by. At first, he rested with his eyes closed. Then boredom won, he reached for the refreshments, leisurely helping himself to the pastries before taking an unhurried sip of tea.
A soft knock came at the door. Xiao Mei stepped inside with a stack of documents in her arms. "President Zhu."
"Hm."
She placed the files neatly on Guo Min's desk. "Mrs. Zhu should be finished very soon."
"Hm."
Just as she was about to leave, Zihan suddenly remembered something. "Oh... and please give Secretary Lin a few of the snacks, he has worked quite hard for me today."
Xiao Mei blinked in surprise before smiling. "Noted, President." And she quietly left the office.
Another twenty minutes passed, then the office door finally opened and Guo Min walked in.
The moment she crossed the doorway, she let out a long sigh. "Ah...Zihan." She absentmindedly ran her fingers through her hair, probably for the twentieth time that day, as she kicked off her heels near the entrance.
"I'm sorry." She said, putting on comfy slippers. "I kept you waiting for so long."
"It's alright." Zihan stood immediately and walked over to her, he gently took her hand and guided her toward the sofa.
The moment they sat down, she instinctively leaned against him and he wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "You look like you're carrying an entire mountain on your shoulders." He said, studying her face.
Guo Min let out a weak laugh before allowing her head to rest against him. "It certainly feels like it." She closed her eyes for a moment.
Zihan's fingers gently combed through her hair, massaging her scalp in slow, soothing motions. "Are you getting ready for tonight's banquet at home," he asked softly, "or do you already have everything prepared here?"
"I'll just change in my private suite." As if someone had flipped a switch, she suddenly sprang to her feet. "Come on." She smiled brightly, taking his hand. "I'll show you around."
A quiet laugh escaped him as she pulled him off the sofa. "You recover very quickly."
Not bothering to reply she led him down a corridor Inside the office before stopping in front of a door and pushed it open. "This is my little hideout."
Zihan stepped inside and looked around.
Unlike her elegant executive office, this room felt warm and personal. It was decorated in soft white tones with touches of beige, a cozy sofa by the window, a neatly made bed, bookshelves, and a small coffee corner.
"It has its own bathroom, a small walk in closet..." She pointed around the room one feature after another. "And whenever I get tired, I come here to recharge."
Zihan slowly nodded, taking everything in, then he looked back at her. "I just hope this doesn't become your excuse to sleep at work every day."
A grin spread across Guo Min's face. "It won't."
He stepped closer until only a small distance remained between them. His arms naturally settled around her waist.
"Once Grandeur Serene is fully operational," she said, wrapping her arms loosely around his neck, "my workload will decrease. Most things will be delegated, so you don't have to worry."
"That's good." His voice softened. "I'd rather see you smiling than exhausted."
She smiled warmly and for a moment, neither of them spoke, the room became wonderfully quiet.
Then Zihan's attention drifted, his eyes slowly lowered to her lips. "...Guo Min."
"Hm?". She tilted her head innocently, though the playful sparkle in her eyes betrayed that she'd already noticed where his thoughts had gone.
He didn't bother hiding it. "...I want to kiss you."
The words had barely left his mouth before he leaned forward. But just as their lips were about to meet, her fingers gently pressed against his lips. And his movement stopped.
She wore a smirk. "Not so fast, President Zhu." With a quick push against his chest, she slipped gracefully out of his embrace.
"You can...". She backed toward the door, eyes dancing with mischief. "...but only if you catch me." The moment the sentence ended she turned and bolted out of the room.
For a second, Zihan simply stood there, then a low, rich laugh escaped him, echoing softly through the quiet suite. "Guo Min...". He loosened the cuffs of his shirt with deliberate calm before beginning to walk after her. "... Better pray I don't."
It wasn't long before Guo Min felt her feet leave the ground. "...Hey!". Before she could react, Zihan had already caught her around the waist and carried her back to the couch.
He sat down first. The next second, she found herself straddling his lap.
She let out a soft huff, brushing a loose strand of hair away from her face. "As a gentleman," she complained between breaths, "shouldn't you go easy on your wife? My legs are shorter than yours."
Zihan looked at her for a moment before quietly replying. "You aren't short, Guo Min." His fingers gently swept the bangs from her forehead, tucking them behind her ear. "You're just smaller than me."
She pouted dramatically. "That's not much of a compliment."
A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "Wife..." His eyes narrowed slightly with amusement. "You really shouldn't keep fanning a fire."
She blinked. "What are you even talking abo...".
Her words disappeared as he leaned forward and captured her lips in a kiss. Which at first was gentle but Zihan became a little greedy as he tightly wrapped his arms around her waist.
His other hand came to hold the back of her head before he slipped his tongue into her mouth.
"Humph". Guo Min jolted a bit, not expecting his actions but his arm on her waist pulled her back to sit.
He released her lips, licking his. "I'll stop if you aren't comfortable". He rested his back on the chair, a sign he was stepping away.
She eyed him for a moment, even though he says that, he doesn't look it, she chuckled. "I'm not scared. It's just been a while".
He stared at her, locking eyes for a moment that she thought he wasn't going to move but realized what he's been up to when a moan escaped her.
He gently massaged her left bossom before gently tugging on her bud, his eyes didn't leave her face and that made Guo Min blush harder and avoid his eyes.
"...Why are you staring at me like that?". She asked putting up a brave front but avoid locking eyes with him every now and then.
He smiled. "I love when you turn pink". He paused and leaned in, kissed her ear and whispered. "You look beautiful".
"W...wait ... Zihan". She squirmed as she felt his finger stroking around her down there but she knew she was in for it when his only answer was a smile.
"Ah...". She clenched her fingers on his shoulders as she felt his finger slipped in, she huffed, trying to regulate her breathe.
He thrust his finger in again and her heart race spiked, her body screamed for more, clenching around his fingers.
"Z...ih...an". Words Left her brain as she felt two more fingers slowly slipping in. At first she took it so thinking he'd change his pace but he didn't. "...Zihan... Faster".
For some reason, his smirk pissed her off at the moment as he said. "I didn't quite catch your words".
"Oh God... Faster hubb... Mm". The words haven't even left her mouth when he thrust faster, with the intensity of each finger going in and out, she dug her nails into his back.
"Zihan... I". She said already chasing her high. "Ah ... Oh ... I". Her words were not recognizable anymore.
She just leaned into his neck and bit as she climaxed, she jolted. "Ah". Her body goes limp after riding her high.
Not giving her time to recover, she felt a squeeze on her behind. "Hm?". Her eyes twitched as she looked at what was in front of her, the size of this can be quite scary.
Zihan just smiled and looked at her.
Getting his signal she sat over it and slowly inserted it into her. A moan escaped her as it gobbled it up.
"Ugh". Zihan groaned, sitting there in a controlled facade, his tongue on his lips as he squinted his eyes, waiting for her to move.
Guo Min wrapped her hands around his neck, raised her hips up then went down on him, at first slowly until her pace started to speed up.
He guided her as she rode him. Zihan was calm at first leisurely enjoying his time but then his hands held her hips tightly, guiding her up and down as he showered her body with kisses and hickeys.
His jaw tightened as he felt her clench around him. "Agh". He held her tight and thrust hard gaining control, his gritted his teeth as he increased his pace.
It wasn't long and Guo Min moaned riding her high and he came few seconds after.
