It’s quite simple. Let’s say you are the King of the Underworld, an old acquaintance. One day, you suddenly realize that the King of the Underworld is different from what you know. Wouldn’t you be curious? Curiosity leads to exploration, and exploration can lead to entrapment.
The Reincarnation Stone fell silent, leaving Yun Zhi Yue puzzled.
“What’s wrong, Shi Ge? Missing the King of the Underworld? Didn’t you say he was in seclusion? He’ll be out soon. By then, you can take a look. I’ll be fine on my own for a while.”
“Let’s talk about it then.”
The tone of the Reincarnation Stone seemed off, but Yun Zhi Yue didn’t think much of it. As a subordinate, she naturally couldn’t meddle in her superior's affairs. If she wanted to take charge, she would have to rise through the ranks and deal with the King of the Underworld first. Until she had the strength to do so, she was just an employee.
She focused intently on her work, her hands flying over the keyboard. Each report was crafted with extreme proficiency; her dedication over the past half month had certainly paid off. Nan Jing had her working on essential tasks for the company’s foundation. If one wanted to manage a business effectively, being blind to the grassroots situation was a grave mistake—he was genuinely teaching her.
A light tap on her desk made Yun Zhi Yue realize that Nan Jing had approached her from behind, leaning slightly to observe the reports on her screen. The presence of Qing Xue enveloped her from behind, and Nan Jing's posture gave her an overwhelming sense of being preyed upon.
Yun Zhi Yue's eyes sparkled as she stretched her arms high above her head and boldly wrapped her arms around Nan Jing’s neck, tilting her head back to look at him. With a playful smile, she sought praise: “Aren’t I amazing?”
The two were caught in an extremely ambiguous moment; if Nan Jing wished, he could easily lean down and capture those tempting lips.
“Progressing well! Yun Zhi Yue, you’re truly amazing!” The Reincarnation Stone showered her with compliments without reservation.
Their gazes locked, and the atmosphere shifted uneasily. At some point, Nan Jing’s look at Yun Zhi Yue transitioned from concern typical of childhood sweethearts to something deeper.
As if enchanted by that radiant smile, Nan Jing lowered his head slightly.
Just then, Zhou Yu's voice came from the entrance: “Assistant Huang, are you busy? I’ll come in myself. I’m here to relax with you all; even workaholics need proper rest.”
Before the door swung open, Yun Zhi Yue quickly withdrew her hands as if not wanting to be seen. In contrast, Nan Jing did not retract his movement; he remained bent over as if sitting before a well-behaved woman, a flicker of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
“You really surprised me,” Zhou Yu remarked as he entered in casual attire that made him resemble a refined gentleman stepping out of an ancient painting. “I didn’t expect you could hold out for so long.”
She truly lives up to her reputation; even her taste is impeccable. Zhou Yu is undeniably handsome, and his looks are simply pleasing.
Appreciation for beauty knows no gender, and she just happens to be drawn to this kind of face. Unconsciously, she found herself staring a bit longer, lost in thought, and both Zhou Yu and Nan Jing noticed.
Zhou Yu blinked, intending to ease the tension in the air, but Yun Zhi Yue spoke up first: "Yu Ge, don’t overthink it. I’m just admiring a handsome guy; I mean no harm. I promise I won’t linger."
Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow: "Is this still the Yun Zhi Yue I know? That little girl never spoke like this."
Yun Zhi Yue tapped her forehead: "I forgot where I heard that saying. It goes that in life, one meets two significant people—one from afar and one close to the heart. Yu Ge has already shifted from the latter to the former, so you’re quite safe."
Zhou Yu chuckled: "Well, as someone exiled to the far end, please relax. I just opened a new venue; come experience it with me and share your thoughts."
Yun Zhi Yue, fully aware of her role, shrugged: "Alright then, you’re looking for Nan Jing’s opinion, right? I’m just here as a filler. Can I take a day off, Nan Zong?"
