Axl crouched down and started examining Lin Xilan's ankle while she stared at the ceiling in a daze. It had been a while since a man had touched her, and she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous as Axl's warm touch made her unconsciously clench her legs.Axl was too focused on examining her ankle to notice Lin Xilan's reaction. After a while, he touched her ankle, which brought her back to reality. She asked in a cold tone, "What do you want to do?!"Axl didn't respond, as he was fully focused on examining her ankle. Lin Xilan was about to retract her ankle, but Axl sternly rebuked her, "Do not move!"Lin Xilan was taken aback by Axl's harsh tone, and felt a mix of emotions. She was relieved that Axl was helping her, but his rebuke left her feeling dazed and confused.Seeing her reaction, Axl softened and explained, "I need to observe and find the injured point first. Don't worry."Lin Xilan tried to maintain her composure and asked, "Is it serious?"Axl said, "No, I need to check it
The next morning, as they rode in the car towards the company the following morning, a tense silence hung between Axl and Lin Xilan after the events of the previous night. Sensing the awkwardness, Lin Xilan took the initiative to break the silence."Axl, I just wanted to thank you for last night," she said, looking at him with a mix of gratitude and uncertainty.Axl looked at Lin Xilan in the rearview mirror. Today, Lin Xilan was wearing a blazer shirt with a short skirt that went down to her knees and a belt that showed off her slender waist.Axl nodded, trying to keep things professional. "It was no problem at all. You're my boss, after all. By the way, is your ankle feeling any better?""It's still a bit sore, but I'll be okay if I walk slowly," Lin Xilan replied"Make sure to keep icing it and resting it when you can," Axl advised."Okay" Lin Xilan only saidSoon, the atmosphere became awkward again. Fortunately, they have already arrived at the company.Axl drove the car, and as
Lin Xilan became angry with herself for forgetting such a sensitive item.Her thoughts drifted to how Axl had massaged her ankle the previous day, and her mind unconsciously wandered towards the possibility of Axl finding her toys and touching them, or maybe even playing with them!The mere thought made Lin Xilan's face turn pale. She shook her head, trying to dismiss such scandalous thoughts.She sat down in her chair and took a deep breath, her anxiety growing as she realized she knew little about Axl's character, and her mind raced with possibilities of what Axl might do with the information he had uncovered.Would he threaten to expose her? Blackmail her for his own gain? Or doing something like...The uncertainty of it all was both thrilling and terrifying.But despite the fear, there was an undeniable sense of arousal that coursed through her. She felt a strange warmth building between her legs, and her body quivered with desire.Unknowingly, she clamped her legs together, tryin
After come back to her sense for a moment, Lin Xilan awkwardly twisted her body, and quickly lowered her head and avoided his gaze.No matter what she is still A Lin Xilan, the CEO of Yelin and Axl senior brother's mother. Their status was not incomparable, so it's imposible for her to take an initiative to ask him, much more to explained to him."Ehem" She cleard her throat and showed her normal icy look.In order not to show her timidity, Lin Xilan pretended to composed herself and look at Awl coldy like yesterday. But after the next 5 seconds, her eyes come back to erratic and no matter what she lack confidence facing Axl.Looking at her gestures and body language, Axl of course found it a little bit strange, but since she didn't explain it, he also tacitly didn't ask her. He also didn't think much about it, he thought it was because Lin Xilan's ankle had not fully healed yesterday, and she was feeling a little uncomfortable but too embarrassed to say so in front of him. After all,
Axl noticed that Lin Xilan remained silent, so he continued, "He also mentioned that Wen Yuci was really pretty. They kept in touch frequently despite living on the mountain at the time, if I remember correctly."As Axl tried to recall more information, he remembered something else from the original body's memories. "Senior brother also said that Wen Yuci is really talented. She became a managing director at Biotech Corps in her twenties, which shows how skilled she is."Axl praised Wen Yuci, thinking that it might create a positive impression on Lin Xilan. However, he noticed that Lin Xilan didn't respond to his comments about Wen Yuci, and her expression soured instead. He realized that he had made a misstep by praising another woman's accomplishments in front of his boss, who had built Yeline Care from the ground up.Quickly trying to recover from his mistake, Axl said, "Of course, no one can compare to your leadership, boss. You have created a highly successful company from scratc
After Axl left, he found a stool and sat by the front door. As Lin Xilan's bodyguard, he knew that the situation in the capital was not very stable at the moment.From what he could remember, the Ye family was going through a period of instability. Following the disappearance of Ye Feng's father, the elite elders within the family were vying for the position of family head. However, due to Ye Feng's existence as the son of the previous head, they could only hope for his demise.Ye Feng was the legal successor of the Ye family on paper, but the opposition within the family towards his father's marriage to Lin Xilan had been used as a reason to obstruct his path to becoming the next family head. As to why their marriage had been rejected, it was all due to Lin Xilan.Lin Xilan was a woman of great strength and character. When she had married into the Ye Feng father in the past, she had struggled to accept the traditional expectations of the Ye family. As was customary in many ancient an
Seeing Wen Yuci question himself with an arrogant tone, Axl couldn't help but look back at her. He was still wondering why Lin Xilan had an opinion on Ye Feng and Wen Yuci's relationship. Wasn't Wen Yuci the perfect daughter-in-law? Beautiful, rich, with a good background? But now it seemed that his question had already been answered.Axl said flatly, "Miss, are you the managing director of Biotech, Ms. Wen Yuci? Are you here to meet Ms. Lin?"Wen Yuci frowned and asked, "Answer me first, what are you doing here?""I am Ms. Lin's bodyguard," Axl answered flatly.Wen Yuci was stunned by his answer, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes. "It's impossible; Aunt Lin would never hire a bodyguard, especially a man."Axl became irritated by her and said, "Miss, if you don't have any business here, then please leave. Only those with a valid reason are allowed to enter."Hearing his answer made Wen Yuci angry. No one had ever dared to treat her like this before. "You--"Before she could sa
Hearing Lin Xilan say this, Wen Yuci was surprised. This is not Lin Xilan that she knows. She knew Ye Feng went to the mountain to learn martial arts from a master from what she heard, and how long was it? 7 years, probably? and it was basically that amount of time that Lin Xilan needed to maintain her reputation as an ice queen that was unapproachable.How could this be?Moreover, they will basically talk business here, and sometimes even her secretary is prohibited from joining the conversation. Now she basically says he can stay here?How much trust did she place in this man? Is it because he is her son's Junior brother? no, impossible. If she can remember, Ye Feng only came from the mountain last month, and he is also alone based on what he said. Last week she met with Ye Feng also, and he didn't mention anything to her. That's mean, he just recently came from the mountain if he is really Ye Feng junior brother.This analysis stupefied Wen Yuci.Lin Xilan didn't notice Wen Yuci pr
