Charles Yin placed one hand above Cecilia Gu's head, a playful smirk on his lips. "I came home so late. Aren't you curious why I'm only back now?"
Cecilia Gu was trapped against the wall by him, unable to move at all.
Charles Yin's presence was undeniably powerful.
His height, combined with his aura, created an invisible cage.
Cecilia Gu had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
Charles Yin's looks were also top-notch. No matter how many times Cecilia Gu tried to mentally prepare herself, she couldn't break free from the cage of his presence. For a moment, she froze, then reflexively asked, "So, why did you come back so late?"
Charles Yin chuckled softly at her words.
His long, narrow eyes sparkled with unabashed joy.
His Cici was always so sweet, always able to tug at his heartstrings.
"I met with a business partner tonight. Relax, it was a man." Charles Yin spoke as if reporting his whereabouts to his wife. "I came straight home after dinner."
Cecilia Gu's face turned bright red. "That's not what I was asking!"
"Oh? Then what do you want to ask?" Charles Yin leaned in, his voice low and seductive, swirling into Cecilia Gu's ear.
It was the simplest question, yet when Cecilia Gu heard it, it felt like a hook, tugging her heart so hard it might take flight.
I'm seriously losing my mind!
"Is it inconvenient to talk here? Then let's go to the bedroom and talk." With that, Charles Yin grabbed Cecilia Gu's wrist and led her into her room.
Cecilia Gu, dazed from Charles Yin's teasing, subconsciously followed him into her bedroom.
Wendy saw this and instinctively tried to stop them.
At that moment, a figure quickly stepped in front of her, grabbing her wrist and pulling her to the window on the other side of the corridor. "What are you trying to do?"
The person stopping her was Alex.
Wendy became anxious. "It's late—should the CEO really be going into Miss Yun's room?"
Alex chuckled. "They're husband and wife. What's so inappropriate about that?"
"But, but Miss Yun hasn't regained her memory yet," Wendy said, a little flustered.
After all, she's the assistant—it's her job to protect her boss!
Alex raised a hand and gently pushed Wendy's forehead. She stumbled back against the wall, completely blocked by Alex—there was no way to escape.
Only now did Wendy realize that Alex, who usually seemed so inconspicuous, was actually hiding his true strength.
He wasn't just ordinary—in fact, he'd been concealing a lot of power.
After three months of special training, Wendy might not be able to beat several people at once, but handling a regular adult man should be easy for her.
But now, she couldn't even handle a single finger from Alex!
What did that mean?
It meant that Alex and the others—A, B, C, D—had all been hiding their true abilities!
"Do you even know what it means to be husband and wife?" Alex leaned closer to Wendy, locking her firmly within his control.
The distinctly masculine scent instantly surrounded her.
Wendy's cheeks flushed bright red. "Wh-what... is that supposed to mean?"
"Mrs. Yin and the CEO will never be apart. Got it?" Alex moved even closer, his nose nearly touching Wendy's forehead. "So don't waste your energy, okay?"
"Y-you, just back off!" Wendy panicked, instinctively reaching out to push Alex away.
Her palm landed on solid, well-defined muscle.
Wendy suddenly felt her whole body burning up, as if on fire.
Ahhh, I'm dying here!
Why is he standing so close?
Alex immediately noticed something was off about Wendy and froze. "Don't tell me you're..."
