Boss, Please Go Easy On Me (GL) - Chapter 30

An Yao raised her hand, pulled her hand down, and led her outside.

Yan Xiaomi looked at her own room and then at An Yao, unsure what she was doing, until they got into the car and she suddenly realized. An Yao had said they would go to her place tonight, so were they going to her house now?

Thump, thump, thump, thump, her heart started beating faster again. She was a little nervous.

“CEO An,” Yan Xiaomi tilted her head and asked, “Are we going to your house now?”

“Or what?” An Yao glanced at her. “Your place is so messy, with a layer of dust. It’s so late. Are you planning to clean it up before sleeping or just sleep like that?”

This… Yan Xiaomi hadn’t really thought about it. Anyway, if she was alone, it didn’t matter. She could just find a set of bedding, change it, and go to sleep. But An Yao definitely couldn’t, and she couldn’t let An Yao sleep like that either. No matter what, a clean and comfortable environment was what An Yao deserved. Yan Xiaomi truly cared about An Yao’s feelings deep down.

There was silence along the way. The car drove through the brightly lit, bustling district and then entered a quiet residential area. After An Yao parked the car, Yan Xiaomi followed her upstairs.

An Yao’s home was much more exquisitely decorated than Yan Xiaomi’s, fully equipped, mainly white with warm-toned lighting accents, making it feel warm and grand.

Thinking of white, Yan Xiaomi also thought of her aunt. A sudden weight, like a stone, settled in her heart, making her feel somewhat oppressed. CEO An liked my aunt before, and hadn’t changed for so many years. How could she suddenly change her orientation and fall for me?

Yan Xiaomi felt very insecure, standing frozen in place.

“Why are you standing at the door?” An Yao frowned slightly, seeing her spaced out, “Come in and take a shower.”

“CEO An.” Yan Xiaomi called her, took a few steps to stand beside her, feeling conflicted, unsure how to start, and incredibly nervous inside.

An Yao thought she misunderstood that she wanted to shower with her. She playfully ruffled her hair, “I’m not planning to shower with you. What are you afraid of? I won’t eat you.”

“No,” Yan Xiaomi was very embarrassed, “I didn’t mean that. I… I wanted to ask, CEO An, do you like me?”

Yan Xiaomi felt much lighter after asking. She gasped slightly, looking at An Yao. The two looked at each other for a long time without An Yao saying anything. She looked a little stunned, and somewhat hesitant.

“I…” Yan Xiaomi awkwardly scratched her head and smiled, “I was just asking nonsense. Please don’t take it to heart, CEO An.”

An Yao still didn’t speak. Yan Xiaomi felt like an idiot. Why did she ask such an impossible question? In that instant, she suddenly felt a little sad, a little like running away.

“Uh,” Yan Xiaomi looked as if she suddenly remembered something, “I didn’t close my window at home. I’m afraid it might rain tonight. I, I’ll go back first.”

Yan Xiaomi said this while walking to the door to change her shoes, wanting to rush out immediately, escape An Yao’s sight, and escape the awkwardness of the moment.

“Yan Xiaomi.” An Yao suddenly stepped forward, grabbed her hand, pulled her around, and then pushed her back, pinning her against the door, looking down at her.

This posture made Yan Xiaomi feel incredibly intimate. She felt that An Yao would kiss her lips any second, but her mind was very chaotic now, and she desperately wanted to leave this place. She lowered her head, trying to keep herself from panicking, reaching out to gently push An Yao away, “CEO An, let’s talk about anything tomorrow. I’m, I’m now…”

The rest of her words were blocked by An Yao. An Yao gently pinched her chin and kissed her tenderly. Each lick had a little force, and the kiss was very serious. After two seconds of stunned silence, Yan Xiaomi started pushing An Yao hard, unsure if it was out of grievance or anger. The harder she struggled, the harder An Yao kissed, and the hand around her waist grabbed her hands and pressed them hard against the door.

An Yao’s silence and dominance made Yan Xiaomi feel extremely wronged. She really wanted to lift her foot and step on An Yao but was afraid of hurting her. After several struggles, she gave up.

An Yao released her lips and pulled her into a hug. Both their breaths were mingled and ragged.

“Why are you angry?” An Yao gently licked her neck, “Hmm?”

Yan Xiaomi bit her lip and moaned softly. She felt An Yao’s hand lift the hem of her skirt. All her thoughts went to feeling An Yao’s movements, and she forgot to answer An Yao’s question.

“Are you an idiot?” An Yao gently bit her neck. Just as she was about to let out a moan, An Yao covered her mouth. A muffled groan entered An Yao’s ear, stimulating her nerves. Yan Xiaomi grasped An Yao’s arm tightly. She could clearly feel the tension. They held this posture for a while before An Yao finally let go of her and led her towards the bathroom.

“CEO An… why?” Yan Xiaomi’s voice was slightly nasal. She bit her lip and took a deep breath. This feeling was not good at all. She didn’t want to cry, but for some reason, she couldn’t help it. Layers of disappointment descended in her heart. Not even An Yao’s kiss could save her. She didn’t know what was wrong.

An Yao pulled her under the showerhead. Warm water streamed down from her head, washing away the tears on her face and blurring her vision. An Yao hugged her from behind, showering with her.

“I think,” An Yao leaned close and said in her ear, “I do like you a little.”

Yan Xiaomi froze upon hearing this, her whole body stiffening. An Yao said she liked her…

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have indulged your wild actions that night,” An Yao reached out and pulled down the zipper of her dress, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have missed you so much this past month.”

An Yao took off her dress. Yan Xiaomi stood there, feeling empty, her mind in chaos. An Yao said she missed her, missed her all this past month. Did she miss her the same way she missed her?

“I went to your house many times.” An Yao kissed her neck, and the hand on her waist slowly kneaded her.

Yan Xiaomi felt her whole body tingle as if she were being electrocuted. A surge of heat in her lower abdomen made her a little flustered. She gasped, reached back, and grabbed An Yao’s dress, tilting her head slightly to try and look at An Yao.

“When I couldn’t find you anywhere, I felt like a part of my heart was empty,” An Yao rubbed against her neck, hugging her tighter, “Today, when I saw you and Lin Ran appear together, I really wanted to strangle you, you idiot, and yet you still said you didn’t dare to like me.”

An Yao turned her head and gently nibbled on her chin.

“CEO An…” Yan Xiaomi’s breathing was a little unstable and rapid, “I, I like CEO An, very much, very much.”

“I know.” An Yao chuckled, turning her around, “Help me take off my clothes.”

“Okay, okay…” Yan Xiaomi reached out to take off An Yao’s clothes, still a little nervous, keeping her head down, daring not to look at An Yao. This development was unexpected, but she was delighted and happy, because An Yao said she liked her.

After showering in the bathroom, they went to bed. To Yan Xiaomi’s surprise, An Yao didn’t do those things to her. She just kissed her for a while and then hugged her to sleep.

“CEO An?” Yan Xiaomi tilted her head to look at her. An Yao was holding her from behind, her warm breath tickling her neck, making her feel a little restless.

“Hmm?” An Yao shifted, hugged her gently, and draped one leg over her, rubbing slightly, “Can’t sleep?”

“I…” Yan Xiaomi turned over to face her. The moonlight from outside the window shone on them. Yan Xiaomi saw An Yao’s closed eyes, looking a little tired, seeming genuinely ready to sleep.

She snuggled closer into An Yao’s arms, hugging her, “Sleep. Good night.”

Yan Xiaomi woke up the next day feeling a little disoriented. She lay in bed, looking at her surroundings, and it took a while for her to realize where she was.

An Yao was no longer in bed. Yan Xiaomi’s dress was wet last night and was in the washing machine. She was wearing nothing now, which made her feel very embarrassed in broad daylight. After finding a bath towel in the bathroom and wrapping it around herself, she walked out and looked around. There was a sound coming from the kitchen. She tiptoed over and stood at the kitchen entrance. An Yao, wearing an apron, was opening the rice cooker and tasting the congee.

“You’re awake?” Catching sight of Yan Xiaomi standing at the doorway, An Yao put down the spoon. Seeing her wrapped in a towel, she thought she probably hadn’t found anything to wear. She casually unplugged the rice cooker, took off the apron, hung it on the wall, and walked over to her.

“CEO An, I…” Yan Xiaomi looked down at her attire, “I don’t have clothes to wear.”

“Then don’t wear any.” An Yao smiled, reached out, and pulled down her bath towel. Yan Xiaomi jumped in surprise, not knowing where to cover, and turned around, scampering onto the bed in a panic. An Yao took the towel into the bathroom, then watched her sitting on the bed, wrapped in a thin blanket, and laughed for quite a while. Yan Xiaomi was so embarrassed that she kept covering her face. She was truly mortified in the daytime.

“This one should fit you,” An Yao found a dress in the closet and tossed it to her. She also found a pair of underwear and tossed it to her, “New. Not quite your style, but wear it for now.”

An Yao smiled again, “You might not fit the bra, but it’s better than going without.” An Yao picked out a relatively plain one and tossed it to her. “Change quickly and come out for breakfast. I’ll take you shopping later.”

An Yao went into the bathroom, “There’s a disposable toothbrush here you can use for now. You can use any of my things.” When she came out, she checked the time, “Hurry up, or we’ll be late.”

An Yao left the room. Yan Xiaomi immediately threw off the blanket and started getting dressed, then rushed through her ablutions. Looking at her hair, she felt troubled. She should really get it cut this afternoon after work.

Shopping for lingerie with An Yao was the fastest Yan Xiaomi had ever decided to buy underwear in her life. Less than three minutes after entering the store, An Yao scanned the display, immediately selected one, and tossed it to her, “Try it on.”

Yan Xiaomi didn’t even see what the bra looked like before she took it into the fitting room. Surprisingly, it was the perfect size and very comfortable to wear. An Yao paid, and the two got into the car to go to the company.

Yan Xiaomi really wanted to ask An Yao how she knew it would fit her, but she was too embarrassed to ask. She vaguely remembered An Yao touching her. Could it be true, as the novels said, that you knew the size after one touch? Yan Xiaomi couldn’t help but marvel. An Yao was amazing. If it were her, she wouldn’t know the size even after ten touches. Clearly, she and An Yao were not on the same level.

“Xiaomi, An Yao.” They ran into Lin Ran again at the company entrance. Yan Xiaomi glanced at An Yao and obediently walked behind her, keeping a distance from Lin Ran.

Lin Ran smiled, walked up to Yan Xiaomi, and looked at her, “Seeing you two walking together, you must have made up, right?”

Noticing a red mark on Yan Xiaomi’s neck, Lin Ran looked a little worried and grabbed her arm, “What happened here?”

That was the hickey An Yao gave her on her neck last night. Yan Xiaomi’s face instantly turned red. She pulled away from Lin Ran’s hand, “Mr. Lin, thank you for your concern.”

Yan Xiaomi was very nervous. She glanced at An Yao beside her and then looked at Lin Ran, “I don’t know why you like me, but there’s something I think I should clarify with you. I already like someone. Mr. Lin, I’m sorry, I already like someone. Please, don’t get so close to me anymore.”

Lin Ran was stunned by her words. After a moment, he smiled and said, “I’m sorry, Xiaomi, I’m sorry. An Yao said before that you didn’t have a boyfriend. I thought I had a chance, so… I apologize for causing you trouble.”

“No, it’s fine.” Lin Ran’s embarrassed look made Yan Xiaomi feel awkward too. Her words just now were indeed a bit harsh.

“Lin Ran,” An Yao suddenly called out to him, “I’m sorry, we have things to do. We’re leaving now.”

With that, An Yao pulled Yan Xiaomi away, leaving Lin Ran standing there confused, looking at their joined hands.

An Yao didn’t let go of Yan Xiaomi’s hand even after entering the elevator. Yan Xiaomi was very nervous. Anyone could enter on any floor here. If a colleague saw her holding hands with An Yao, she didn’t know what would happen. No, maybe nothing would happen. She and An Yao were both women, and those people didn’t know An Yao’s sexual orientation. Thinking this, Yan Xiaomi felt much more relieved.

After going upstairs, An Yao let go of her hand and walked ahead. People greeted her along the way, saying, “Good morning, CEO An.” An Yao nodded in response. This was the first time Yan Xiaomi experienced such a scene. Before, An Yao was usually already in the office when she rushed to her desk. This feeling of entering and leaving together was nice. Yan Xiaomi felt very happy.

She followed An Yao all the way to the office door. An Yao stopped and looked at her, “Is there something you need?”

“Huh?” Yan Xiaomi suddenly realized her desk was next to the office. She quickly waved her hands, “No, nothing, nothing.”

“I do.” An Yao walked over to her, got close, and looked at her for a moment. She ruffled her hair and asked with a slight smile, “Did you think I was going to kiss you?”

Yan Xiaomi’s previously closed eyes suddenly snapped open. An Yao said, “You guessed right.”

A gentle kiss landed on her lips. An Yao licked her gently, then released her and smoothed her hair again, “Work hard. Don’t let your mind wander. I’ll take you to get a haircut at noon.”

“Mmm, okay.”

Yan Xiaomi nodded obediently. An Yao’s intimate gestures and natural words made Yan Xiaomi feel very happy. This feeling was very solid, a kind of tangible, perceptible affection.

Affection, Yan Xiaomi couldn’t help but smile at the thought of this word.
