The group looked like they were swallowing rags when they heard this question.

Xie Yang reassured the other person. "Not for the time being but I'm relatively stingy. Something I don't think of as bullying today might change tomorrow. Have a good rest while I continue the meeting." He put the phone aside and observed the people in the room again. "Is there anyone else who wants to make a report?"

It didn’t take long for the regular meeting to end and Qiu Xing to come to Rongding. Xie Yang hugged him and looked at Qiu Xing with a blank expression. “I remember the work time I set for you is 10 o’clock.”

Qiu Xing was troubled. He stepped forward, rubbed Xie Yang’s face and coaxed him, “It isn’t that much in advance.”

Xie Yang was unmoved. “It is only 9:10. You have gone to work almost an hour earlier. This time is enough for you to get a good sleep.” 

Qiu Xing bent over and kissed Xie Yang but he was still stern and silent. A few seconds passed before Qiu Xing stated, “I can’t sleep if you’re not there.”

Xie Yang raised his eyes to look at Qiu Xing. Qiu Xing kissed Xie Yang again.

“…Don’t do it again.” Xie Yang finally relaxed. He pulled Qiu Xing to sit down and handed him a magazine. “Read this for fun first. You can approve documents with me once it is 10 o’clock.”

Qiu Xing glanced at the fashion magazine in his hand and then the pile of documents in front of Xie Yang. “You—” 

“Or you can go to the bedroom here and go back to sleep.”

Qiu Xing decisively changed his words. “…Tell me if you don’t understand anything.”

Xie Yang was satisfied. He kissed Qiu Xing as a reward, picked up the file and started reading it.

Qiu Xing opened the magazine and only read two lines before he couldn’t help staring at Xie Yang. He saw Xie Yang looking so serious and gently touched this person’s head with the feeling of being cherished and some guilt. 

Xie Yang was touched by Qiu Xing. He flipped over a page and spoke without raising his head, “We haven’t done it in a long time.”

Qiu Xing’s face was red as he took back his hand uncomfortably. “What nonsense are you saying during working hours?”

Xie Yang approved the document, picked up the next one and really stopped talking. After a long time, Qiu Xing’s fake calm voice was heard. “You… have been thinking about it?”

Xie Yang changed to using one hand to flip through the documents while he placed his other hand on Qiu Xing’s leg in a silent answer. 

Qiu Xing’s leg muscles tightened and he hurriedly grasped Xie Yang’s troublesome hand. The room was obviously quiet and empty with only those two people present, but he looked around like he had a guilty conscience. He coughed and told Xie Yang, “Wait for tonight… be good.”

“I can’t wait for the evening.” Xie Yang took back his hand, approved a document and placed it aside. He went to grab another one when he turned to look at Qiu Xing. “No wonder why so many bosses like to keep their mistress in the office… do you want to try it?”
