Benjamin stared directly into Valerie's eyes, their proximity less than a finger's breadth apart. On the other hand, he could feel his heart racing rapidly. The charged atmosphere between them added an element of intensity, with the unspoken tension creating a palpable connection that left both parties entangled in the moment."This woman always tries to dominate me. It can't go on any longer!"At that moment, Valerie opened her mouth, emitting a distinctive and strong blueberry scent. Benjamin couldn't resist taking a deep breath.Such an enticing aroma!If Benjamin were like most men, he wouldn't be able to control himself. He would likely pounce on the girl above him as quickly as possible, heading straight to the main course without any warm-up. The description alludes to a typical scenario, implying that Benjamin's behavior might deviate from the expected norm.Valerie was fortunate. She had a man who had received a quality education from an elite family, shaping his perspective
AUTHOR'S NOTES: I will write a few things below, if you still want to maintain your innocence then you can skip this chapter. But, if you don't care, you can continue reading. Have fun! :bBenjamin's hands found their place on Valerie's perfectly contoured hills, giving a gentle squeeze. Silently, he applied pressure to specific acupoints between Valerie's loins, skillfully blending the technique with a generous flow of Reiki energy.In response, Valerie let out a deep, resonant moan, relinquishing her hold on Benjamin and tilting her head back in unabashed pleasure.Although Benjamin actually only touched both of her hills, the stimulation Valerie got came from her lower assets.It felt as if she had experienced a subtle and tender electric shock, catching her off guard, yet simultaneously delivering an unparalleled wave of pleasure."Don't stop, Ben!"Benjamin did not stop. He strengthened his squeeze on Valerie's two hills and sent out ten times more Reiki than before.The onslaugh
Upon the revelation that the spectral remnants of thousands of Qing mystical palace attendants endured as restless souls, a furrow creased Benjamin's brow, signaling his deep perplexity. The weight of this newfound knowledge cast a shadow of concern over his countenance, as he grappled with the implications of the lingering spirits. The enigma of their existence stirred a cocktail of curiosity and contemplation within him, prompting a quest for understanding and a discerning gaze into the layers of mystery that surrounded these ethereal entities."Could you shed light on what transpired, preventing their spirits from finding peace?" he inquired, seeking to unravel the enigma surrounding the lingering unrest.Long Meihua stopped in her tracks just to gaze at Benjamin more seriously. Her small lips opened, emitting a soft voice almost resembling a whisper, "Why do you ask such a thing, knight?"Clearing his throat several times, Benjamin pondered the recent shift in titles. Once referre

"Why didn't you respond, Ben? What happened to you?" Valerie waved her hand a few times in front of Benjamin's eyes, ensuring the young man had fully come to her."Uh..." Benjamin replayed the events from last night, a hint of awkwardness settling in. "I... I was just caught up in my thoughts. No biggie; you don't need to worry about it."Furrows creased Valerie's forehead, betraying her escalating confusion. "Lost in thought? No, Ben, it's more than just being lost in thought. I knocked on your door countless times, eventually resorting to fetching the spare key from storage. I realize it's a breach of your privacy, but I was truly concerned," she explained.Benjamin absentmindedly scratched his non-itchy head, momentarily at a loss for words to respond to Valerie. Eventually, he replied, "You know, when I'm lost in thought, my hearing range narrows down to less than a meter from where I am. It's quite an unusual condition, but I go through it."Benjamin's claim held true; when truly
As Benjamin navigated Valerie's Mercedes C-Class along the winding roads of Regal Hill, Valerie, seated in the co-driver's seat, turned to him and remarked, "You still haven't settled on a daily driver, have you? It must be quite inconvenient to drive a Ferrari for simple tasks like picking up milk at the convenience store. Have you given any thought to getting a daily driver? Just say the word."Benjamin grinned and kept his response brief, "I've got an old sedan that does the job for everyday stuff, so I haven't really thought about getting a new ride."Valerie fixed him with a serious gaze, insisting on more engagement from him. She reiterated, "To be honest, that old sedan is nothing but a clunker—antiquated. Besides, I'm aware that every man harbors a profound fascination with various types of cars; they always have a dream car in mind for the future, just like you."Watching Benjamin's expression remain unchanged, Valerie persisted, "You needn't concern yourself with the price o
"This is unacceptable! Everyone in this office must maintain professionalism, regardless of their position. I won't allow anything to compromise the standards we uphold here!""Hey, Charles, cut it out!" One of the employees intervened, pulling Charles's hand away.Charles, Valerie's secretary, shot a disapproving glance at his friend. With a hint of emotion in his voice, he asked, "Why are you stopping me?"His friend attempted to calm him down, saying, "I believe intervening will only worsen the boss's mood. We're all aware of how difficult it is for her to let someone into her life, but today, she's made significant strides. I don't want us to jeopardize that progress and leave her single forever."Charles snorted in annoyance, then sneered, "What's wrong with being single forever? If the boss prioritizes her career, we should support her by not getting involved with any men. I just have a hunch that the guy she's seeing is using some kind of dark magic to get close to her. It just
Disappointed by the absence of his preferred choices, Benjamin ventured into the cafeteria, his anticipation for a relaxing glass of wine or a refreshing beer quickly dashed as he scanned the shelves to find them conspicuously absent. Undeterred, he resigned himself to the next best option: a cup of steaming black coffee. Pouring the rich brew into a mug, he savored the robust aroma that wafted up to greet him, finding solace in its familiar embrace despite the absence of his usual indulgences.As Benjamin joined other employees in the cafeteria, he noticed a few of them also preparing drinks or completing their breakfast. However, the atmosphere soon shifted, and the room buzzed with whispers akin to the soft hum of a bee's wings as gossip began to circulate among them.With the enhanced hearing he had developed over time, Benjamin could discern every word of their conversation. Yet, he made a conscious decision not to interject, opting instead to offer a faint smile as he listened i
