Once Jiang Ming was able to rehydrate himself, he sat down on the couch and held a complicated gaze at Yuan Chunhua.
Previously, he was clouded by the swarm of students flocking toward him, and now that he had calmed down, he found it hard to strike a proper conversation with Yuan Chunhua.
It was the same for her as well, but considering how she was much older than Jiang Ming, she decided to open her mouth first, "Anyway, why did you suddenly barge into my office? It couldn't be that you were coming here just to avoid those students, right?"
Jiang Ming twitched his mouth.
Why are you pretending to be ignorant?
Based on her expression, Jiang Ming could tell she had been informed by Yang Liqin already, but she was being petty and acting confused. Clearly, her anger had not subsided from their last meeting in the Moon Bazaar.
And what could Jiang Ming do? He purposely enraged her, and now he must coax her back.
"Instructor Yuan Chunhua, I thought about it before and it would really be my honor to work together with you," Jiang Ming smiled shamelessly, rubbing his hands together.
Yuan Chunhua kept a deadpan expression when she saw Jiang Ming acting shamelessly again. She couldn't understand him. One moment he was extremely serious and the next moment, he became a full-fledged scoundrel.
"Just get out of my office." She pointed at the exit door and returned her attention to the pile of documents stacked up on the desk.
Jiang Ming was rendered speechless by her cold demeanor. Of course, he didn't dare to actually leave when he was being threatened by Yang Liqin.
Although he didn't know where she got her information from, it was clear that her intelligence network was far and wide.
"Don't be like that, Instructor Yuan Chunhua," Jiang Ming used a soft and gentle tone. He stood up and walked toward her with a silly smile.
"How could you be so cold-hearted to me? I'm your first and only student that you had ever tutored in private."
Still, Yuan Chunhua was unfazed and continued to flip through the next page of her document, seemingly treating Jiang Ming like some annoying mosquito.
Feeling helpless at this situation, Jiang Ming took a deep breath as he mustered up his courage and went behind her. After that, he extended his hands out and placed them on her shoulders.
When his hand made contact with her body, Yuan Chunhua was stunned for a moment. And before she could comprehend the action, Jiang Ming started massaging her shoulders, relaxing the tension of her muscles.
"Ahnn," Yuan Chunhua made a slight moan at the unexpected massage action from Jiang Ming.
"W-What are you doing?" She asked him in a dumbfounded tone.
"Relaxing your muscles so that you would stop ignoring me," Jiang Ming calmly replied, increasing a little bit of his strength.
As much as Yuan Chunhua wanted him to stop, she couldn't help but admit his massaging skills were truly top-notch. Her originally sore shoulders seemed to have lessened the more Jiang Ming maneuvered his hands.
Though when she recalled that Jiang Ming was touching her in a pretty ambiguous position, her face flushed in redness. She wanted him to stop, but she also didn't want to stop feeling good from the shoulder massage.
She was in a dilemma, and in the end, decided to keep silent and tried her best to finish reading the documents.
Even if Jiang Ming didn't resort to such action, she had already planned on joining him in the mission. She wouldn't feel assured knowing that Jiang Ming might be forced into a terrible situation considering how he would be all alone if she didn't agree to go.
Time slowly passed by, and not a single sound could be heard from Yuan Chunhua's office.
If one were to accidentally step into the room, then they might have believed it was a couple enjoying their sweet romance. One man was relieving the woman whereas she was busy with work.
It was a calm and serene atmosphere. Yuan Chunhua was visibly embarrassed by the situation and tried her best to finish going through all the necessary documents.
By the time she was done, she realized her shoulders were no longer sore.
Surprised, she turned around and noticed Jiang Ming was still standing behind her.
"Why don't you just take a seat on the couch?" She suggested. "I still need to hand in these signed documents to the Master before I can chat with you."
Despite saying that, Jiang Ming remained silent as his gaze fixated on a particular spot.
Following his eyesight, Yuan Chunhua realized her cleavage was slightly exposed as she had unconsciously unbuttoned a few of them since she was feeling hot.
When she realized Jiang Ming had been staring at her cleavage the entire time, her feelings of gratitude vanished and were replaced with fury.
She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist in anger.
"JIANG MING!" She shouted aloud and tried to throw a fist at him.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming hurriedly snapped out of his daze as his reflex kicked in. He raised his palm up and caught her incoming fist before smiling cheekily.
"Why are you punching me, Instructor Yuan Chunhua? Did you want me to continue the massage? You could have just said so." He calmly said, acting ignorant about his peeking incident.
Yuan Chunhua was enraged but was more surprised by his reflexes in catching her fist. Although she didn't use much of her strength, it should still be difficult to catch her fist barehanded and not receive any pain.
While she was dumbfounded, Jiang Ming used this time to feel her smooth hand and smiled amusingly. "Instructor Yuan Chunhua, your hand is so smooth. What kind of magical thing did you do to make your hand so smooth?"
"S-Stop with your nonsense. What smooth hand?" Yuan Chunhua snorted coldly and tried to retract her hand, only to end up in failure.
Jiang Ming held a wicked grin as he suddenly pulled her hand and lifted her up from the chair. After that, in a swift motion, he sat on her chair before putting her down on his lap.
Yuan Chunhua didn't expect him to be so bold and was unable to deflect it in time. When his face suddenly leaned close to her, she became frightened yet joyful at the same time.
It was a newfound feeling for her and she didn't know why her heart was reacting like that.
Jiang Ming sniffed through her fragrance and his hand slowly held her by the waist.
"Can we start talking properly now, Instructor Yuan Chunhua?" He asked softly.
And he continued, "If you still plan on stalling the time, then I'm afraid my hands would no longer listen to my command and would start touching some places that I shouldn't be touching."
With that said, he purposely lowered his hand slightly and was close to touching her ample butt. It was a clear threat to tell her to stop beating around the bush.
Yuan Chunhua was clearly aggrieved by the situation. She was the supposed instructor, yet Jiang Ming didn't even give a damn about her status and did such a disrespectful act.
"Y-You're bullying me..." She pouted and punched his chest lightly.
"No, I'm not." Jiang Ming shook his head.
"If I was truly bullying you, then by now, we would be kissing and my hand would be groping on your big breast. However, I really respect you and didn't want to force my way in. This is already my limit in suppressing myself from going overboard." He warned.
Yuan Chunhua wanted to sneer at his bullshit remark until she felt her butt being poked by something stiff. At this moment, she might be ignorant, but she wasn't ignorant to the point that she wouldn't understand what was the stiff thing poking at her.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously as she tried to get up.
However, the moment she did that, Jiang Ming's stiff cock hardened a bit more and increased its size. That was because her butt was wiggling in a way that women would usually do to seduce their men.
"Please, don't move around when we're in such a delicate position." Jiang Ming hissed coldly. He was really suppressing his lust desire and merely wanted to strike up a conversation with her.
Yuan Chunhua rolled her eyes at him. If he was really respectful of her and just wanted to have a conversation. Then he should have released his grasp on her.
"Put me down... we can talk on the couch." She gave in to his demand and suggested moving to the couch.
"No can do," He shook his head in response.
"If I release you right now, then you might use this chance to run away. I've seen too many cliche scenes like that, so I definitely won't fall for that trick."
What trick do you mean??!
This time, Yuan Chunhua was truly on the verge of crying. 'Stupid Jiang Ming! Bastard Jiang Ming! Scoundrel Jiang Ming!'
