Boss, Please Go Easy On Me (GL) - Chapter 32
In An Yao’s office, Yan Xiaomi sat very straight on the sofa, her hands neatly placed on her knees, and her back perfectly upright, just like the posture after a kindergarten teacher called out ‘One, two, three, sit up straight’.
An Yao sat beside her, observing her sitting stiffly and looking very uneasy. She stared at her for a long time without saying anything. Yan Xiaomi finally couldn’t hold it anymore. She turned to look at An Yao, a little embarrassed, “CEO An, why… why aren’t you saying anything?”
Didn’t she say she wanted to “have a talk about a relationship”?
This was the first time Yan Xiaomi, at her age, had heard someone say so formally and seriously, I have a relationship I’d like to talk to you about.
It felt as though she was saying, I have a business deal I’d like to talk to you about. When she first heard An Yao say it, she genuinely didn’t understand what it meant and entered the office in a daze. Now, she felt like she was in a negotiation.
“I just wanted to see how long you could maintain that posture.” An Yao had been leaning against the sofa, but as she spoke, she stood up and walked to her office chair to sit down.
Yan Xiaomi’s gaze followed her. After An Yao sat down, her eyes were cast directly over. Yan Xiaomi immediately turned her head, afraid to look at her.
“Yan Xiaomi.” An Yao called her name, tapping her fingers lightly on the desk twice, as if deliberating on how to phrase things. Given Yan Xiaomi’s slow nature, a direct statement might not even be understood by her, which was truly frustrating.
“Present!”
Yan Xiaomi stood up instantly out of conditioned reflex, nervously wringing her hands together, glancing at An Yao, and then back down at her shoes.
“Yan Xiaomi, you said you like me very much.”
Yan Xiaomi nodded, bowing her head even lower, feeling overwhelmingly shy at the memory of showering with An Yao.
“Then, do you want to be my girlfriend?” An Yao tapped the desk twice, signaling her to lift her head, and emphasized, “Do you want to?”
“I, I…” Yan Xiaomi was a little lost. Well, she really hadn’t thought about this. At the time An Yao said she liked her, she was only focused on being happy. It seemed this relationship did need to be confirmed. Since An Yao was asking her directly, what did she have to hesitate about?
“I really want to,” Yan Xiaomi looked up at An Yao, “but I didn’t dare to hope that CEO An would be my girlfriend. I have nothing, and I’m so clumsy. I… I’m not good enough for CEO An.”
“You really aren’t good enough.” An Yao felt a nameless fire she hadn’t vented in a long time. She felt a little out of control, spurred by Yan Xiaomi. She truly wanted to light a fire and roast this idiot to eat.
But she decided against it. After all, she would have plenty of time to deal with her in bed later.
Yan Xiaomi was thinking self-deprecatingly that she wasn’t good enough, but hearing An Yao ask that, she still had some expectation that An Yao would offer some affirmation. But now, hearing An Yao deny her self-negation so heartlessly with another negation, the feeling was truly difficult to bear. It felt like it was okay for her to say it herself—she could laugh it off as self-mockery—but hearing it from someone else, especially someone she deeply cared about, made Yan Xiaomi feel deeply hurt.
Yan Xiaomi stood rooted, head down. Her hands stopped twisting. She was completely immersed in her own small emotional turmoil, feeling very disgraced. She should be leaving now, but she didn’t want to move, feeling that any movement would tear an open wound and hurt.
An Yao saw her reaction and knew she was overthinking again. An Yao stood up, walked to her side, reached out, pinched her chin to lift it, and seeing her slightly red eyes, An Yao sighed softly, “Clumsy and loves to cry. Tell me, what do I like about you?”
Hearing An Yao say this, Yan Xiaomi’s eyes opened wide. She stared at An Yao for a long time without blinking.
“Still glaring at me?” An Yao pinched her face. Yan Xiaomi quickly blinked, still not having fully recovered.
“Me saying you’re not good enough for me was said in anger. Couldn’t you tell?”
An Yao felt a constant urge to reach out and touch Yan Xiaomi’s hair, perhaps because she was so used to running her hands through it, messing it up and then smoothing it out, as if fixing her hair would also sort out her own mood.
“I…” Yan Xiaomi was very embarrassed, “I didn’t know CEO An would get angry over such a small thing.”
In Yan Xiaomi’s eyes, there were few reasons for An Yao to get angry, mainly when a subordinate failed to do their job well. She really didn’t expect a self-deprecating comment from herself to anger An Yao. But even the clumsy her had figured it out now: An Yao genuinely cared about her, and wasn’t just mentally impaired after being slept with for one night.
“Normally, I wouldn’t get angry either,” An Yao took her hand and sat down on the sofa, “but today, I plan to be absolutely clear. You’re so clumsy, it really does make me anxious.”
“I… I understand.” Yan Xiaomi’s head was bowed so low that the crown of her head was visible.
“Understand what?” An Yao poked her head, leaning back on the sofa, waiting for her to continue.
“I want to be with CEO An.” Yan Xiaomi still didn’t dare to look at An Yao. She just held An Yao’s hand tightly, as if to feel An Yao’s presence, “My mind isn’t quick enough. I constantly make small mistakes but no major ones, and I often cause trouble for CEO An. I’m also a coward, with the intention but not the courage. However, I will try hard to change all of this. I will strive to do my job well in the future and try not to trouble CEO An. I will also learn to be braver, face my own feelings, and never shrink back or think about giving CEO An away.”
Yan Xiaomi paused, feeling conflicted. Holding An Yao’s hand tightly didn’t seem sufficient to express her feelings. She abruptly turned and pounced onto An Yao, hugging her tightly, “CEO An is mine.”
“No.” An Yao smiled, stroked Yan Xiaomi’s head, and seeing her confused look, gently tapped her nose, “You are mine.”
Yan Xiaomi’s heart was instantly lifted high and then suddenly released. She felt all the tension in her mind loosen. The smile on her face became much more relaxed. She hugged An Yao tightly, “Mmm, I am CEO An’s.”
“We don’t need ancient things like a deed of sale,” An Yao cupped her face, “but it’s necessary to stamp it with a seal to confirm.”
An Yao firmly kissed Yan Xiaomi’s lips, as if truly stamping a seal, and then released her after just a quick kiss.
Yan Xiaomi looked at An Yao’s face, which was incredibly close. Her heart was pounding non-stop. Remembering An Yao said she liked her kissing her, Yan Xiaomi blushed, looked up, and kissed An Yao’s lips.
Their posture was a little awkward. An Yao embraced her, lifted her leg, and had her sit on her lap. An Yao leaned back against the sofa, and Yan Xiaomi pressed close to her, kissing slowly. The intimate atmosphere was instantly ignited. An Yao’s hand stroked her leg for a while, slowly lifting her skirt upwards.
“Hmm…”
Yan Xiaomi drew her legs in slightly, let out a soft moan, and frowned a little as she looked at An Yao, her eyes showing some struggle and a hint of dissatisfaction. An Yao’s hand was still on her sensitive spot, touching it through her underwear. She could feel warm liquid flowing out. It was already… wet.
Yan Xiaomi blushed profusely, biting her lip, unsure what to do. Not wanting An Yao to see her embarrassed look, she buried her face in An Yao’s neck, feeling a little nervous and a little… expectant.
“So wet,” An Yao’s voice was laced with a smile. She withdrew her hand and hugged her, “I should have known to buy you a pair of underwear at the lingerie store this morning.”
The sexy whisper in her ear sent another rush of heat through Yan Xiaomi’s lower abdomen. She felt even more awkward, practically wanting to disappear into the ground. But sitting on An Yao’s lap, she couldn’t move or stay still. She really wanted to just give in and let An Yao undress her and do this and that right here, but how could she dare?
If An Yao took the initiative to do this and that with her, she could go along with it, but for her to pounce herself, it really required courage, a lot of courage.
But CEO An, I’m already like this, why don’t you just undress me and get on with it!
