Fortunately, her mental fortitude held up; even under the intense gaze of Dan Feng, she remained calm and composed. Continuing to chatter away, she said, "I must have seen it wrong. Where did you get that mark? I thought it was just a grain of rice."
As she rested her hand on her chin, it was suddenly grasped by Nan Jing, who pried her fingers apart. "Where's the mark you mentioned?"
Yun Zhi Yue shot him a sidelong glance. "Nan Jing, why do you have to be so serious? What’s wrong with me just touching you once?"
"Why touch?"
Seeing that Nan Jing was still dead serious and insisting on getting to the bottom of things, Yun Zhi Yue smirked and leaned in closer. Her cheek nearly brushed against Nan Jing's face as she whispered softly in his ear, "I suddenly think you're a bit handsome. We're so familiar with each other; is it okay if I indulge myself just a little?"
With a light tease, she wanted to see how Nan Jing would react. Turning her head slightly, she noticed that he seemed to have the same thought.
As they tilted their heads, the tiny distance between them vanished. Her red lips grazed Nan Jing's chin as they passed.
【Progress update: Come on, just lean in and kiss him!】
Yun Zhi Yue felt speechless; that would be too much for anyone to handle. She was afraid of scaring him off.
This unexpected moment felt just right; everything was perfectly aligned.
Feigning surprise for a moment, Yun Zhi Yue quickly brushed it off, saying, "Thank goodness my lip color doesn’t smudge today."
She took the initiative to wipe the spot on his chin where her lips had touched and then stepped back. "Are you done? Where’s my office arranged?"
"My face isn't for you to touch," he replied sternly. "This is the last time. You're in my office now."
It wasn’t something she could just do; that man would have to wait until her progress with him improved before discussing such matters again.
Following Nan Jing's gaze, she looked toward the far corner of the office.
There stood a simple black single-layer computer desk and an extremely inconspicuous student chair that resembled a cafeteria table.
Comparing it to the massive desk in front of Nan Jing—spacious enough for someone to lie down comfortably—Yun Zhi Yue smiled brightly and said, "Brother Nan Jing, you’re so nice to me."
It seemed like their long-standing friendship had its perks. "Go print out today’s financial report; if you mess it up, don’t expect to eat."
Her smile twisted slightly as she realized she had no choice but to comply under his roof. She shot a fierce glare at Nan Jing before tossing her bag aside and sitting down.
Though she had learned quite a bit during university, handling a report was still no problem for her. However, it was mentally exhausting, especially today.
Seeing Yun Zhi Yue obediently sitting on the student chair, Nan Jing couldn’t help but smile as he lowered his head to continue working.
Before long, she absentmindedly touched her chin.
For more than half a month, Yun Zhi Yue had been working at the Nan Family, and news of it had spread. At first, everyone was privately betting on how many days this young lady could last, considering that Nan Zong was known for his ruthless work ethic.
Several times, employees witnessed Nan Zong treating Yun Zhi Yue like an assistant, assigning her all sorts of menial tasks, from serving tea to running errands. However, to everyone's surprise, this young lady proved to be quite resilient and managed to stick it out.
She clocked in at the same time as them every day and ate the same employee meals, visibly losing weight in the process. It wasn't that the work was overly exhausting or the food particularly bad. This was Yun Zhi Yue's first job after graduating from university, and she was working under the high-pressure environment of Nan Zong, which was a stark contrast to her previous life as a pampered young lady.
It was commendable that she could endure this situation, especially since her family background didn't require her to do so.
Yun Zhi Yue typed away at her computer, but her mind was occupied with a conversation with the Reincarnation Stone.
"Back then, Meng Po had an eye for you; her insight is indeed unique. During this time, you haven't approached Nan Jing, yet his interest in you has grown. What does this mean?"
