My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 465 - 031: Grudge_3

As her body lost balance, she instinctively reached out to grab Yun Qi, but due to him not wearing a shirt, there wasn’t anything to grab onto for a moment. Her fingers slid across his arm, and Yun Qi quickly grabbed her, sighing with relief once she steadied herself. He looked at her amusingly, "Still trying to dodge backward?"

Ye Lingran was dumbfounded, "You...when did you come over?"

"Just now."

"How come there wasn’t a sound, you startled me."

"Scared so easily?"

"You startled me, and you’re still so justified?"

"Okay, okay, my fault. Next time, I will definitely make a sound in advance so you won’t be so flustered."

Ye Lingran felt something odd in his words and wondered if it was just her illusion, sensing some teasing undertone.

"Hey, the enemy is about to attack your base. If you don’t fight back, you’ll lose," Yun Qi released her arm, looked at the television screen, and signaled to her with his eyes, smiling as he spoke.

Only then did Ye Lingran suddenly remember she was still playing a game. She quickly looked over and started manipulating the game controller. However, the level she was playing at was quite high, and the difficulty was quite overwhelming. As a beginner ’noob’, she was indeed finding it challenging. It seemed she shouldn’t have overestimated herself!

"Move sideways, jump to its right, use the second skill to control it, and then launch the ultimate," Yun Qi directed aloud when he saw she was struggling. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Ye Lingran followed his instructions and indeed dealt a heavy blow to the AI, but didn’t manage to kill it instantly. It had a quarter of its health left and used its skill to go invisible and recover health. Ye Lingran circled around unable to locate it, and when she didn’t know what to do, Yun Qi suddenly reached over from behind, enveloping her in his embrace. He grasped her hands in his, guiding her with expert moves, as smooth as flowing water.

A light scent of shower gel lingered at her nose, tightening her nerves. Coupled with him not wearing a shirt, she could distinctly feel their bodies pressed together, making her so nervous she swallowed, not daring to breathe, her mind completely drifting away from the game, with her heart racing ’thump thump thump’ wildly.

After a few more minutes of battle, they finally found the AI’s hiding spot with Yun Qi’s assistance. However, its health bar was already full again, and it had activated its speed enhancement skill, making each attack swift. Without Yun Qi, she reckoned she’d have been done for, with the game ending long ago.

In the next two minutes, Yun Qi ultimately helped her defeat the AI, smiling, "How did you choose such a difficult level?" He looked down at her, seeing her dazed eyes in a stupor, and raised an amused eyebrow, "What’s wrong?"

"N-nothing." Ye Lingran abruptly snapped back, her face reddened with embarrassment as their eyes met, quickly averting her gaze. She placed her feet on the floor and withdrew from his embrace, "I just randomly picked a level, didn’t expect it to be so hard. Well... are you ready? It’s almost eleven, if we don’t leave, it’ll be noon soon."

Seeing her blush and hurriedly trying to change the subject, Yun Qi raised an amused eyebrow, "True, I’ll go change and be right back."

"Okay."

When the two of them went out again, it was past eleven, and by the time they reached Yun Group, it was already eleven forty. Ye Lingran accompanied him to the CEO’s office floor and saw her bag and phone in his office, as well as the bouquet Yun Qi received yesterday.

However, with the whole day yesterday and half of today passing, her phone’s battery was almost drained, automatically entering power-saving mode.

"Phone out of battery?"

His gentle voice came from behind her, Ye Lingran turned her head slightly to look over and nodded, "Yeah, only three percent left. Now that I’ve got my things, I’ll get going."

"It’s almost noon, aren’t you going to have lunch?"

"Are you coming along?"

"Let’s go! Let’s see what’s for lunch at our company cafeteria today?" Yun Qi smiled, turning around to grab the bouquet, and once again came to her, handing it over, "And this, I meant to give it to you yesterday, but you had a bit too much to drink. I forgot to bring it then, giving it to you now isn’t too late, right?"

"For me?" Ye Lingran took the bouquet dumbfoundedly, looking at him with slight astonishment.

Yun Qi chuckled, "Who else would it be for?"
