The elevator went up one floor after another. Standing beside the big and tall gentleman, Lu Jia’er felt secure, but at the moment she was thinking about a problem.

Jin Xiangdong had caught sight of her expression when he was looking at her through the reflection on the front windshield. From the moment she got off the car, he had become inexplicably uneasy. Finally, at the exit, he chose to return to the parking lot.

When he stopped the car and saw a man coming out from the right corner, he couldn’t help but worry about Lu Jia’er.

“Can you tell me what happened just now?” the cold voice of Jin Xiangdong broke the silence in the elevator.

“Nothing happened!” said Lu Jia’er with a playful voice as she had recovered from her distracted state and looked at him.

Hearing her words, Jin Xiangdong turned his face and slightly raised his mouth, “You want to leave me in suspense again?”

“No!” Lu Jia’er denied.

Jin Xiangdong fixed his gaze on her. To tell the truth, Lu Jia’er was like a mystery within reach that despite the close proximity he could not solve.

Lu Jia’er was a little embarrassed at being stared at by him. With shyness written all over her face, she said, “Ace, can I ask you a question?”

“Yes!” Even if she had kept a secret from him, Jin Xiangdong would still be as honest as he could.

“Is office romance forbidden at the company?” Lu Jia’er asked.

“It’s not defined in explicit terms, but it seems to be accepted by default!” Jin Xiangdong said.

Office romance is not a new topic. In a busy modern society, office white-collar workers work overtime every day. There was simply not enough time to develop love outside the company. More and more people were looking for affection in the workplace. Love and career came together. However, there are as many supporters as opponents in regards to office romance in many companies. From a psychological point of view, the quality of office romance varies from person to person.

“Default? So I meet with adversity at the very beginning when it comes to chasing you!” Lu Jia’er said.

Seeing that Lu Jia’er talked so calmly about chasing him, he felt a surge of feeling. “I don’t believe that you are the type of person who will easily give up, Professor Lu!”

“If I choose to follow rules, would you regret it?” Lu Jia’er said with a smile.

“My father once told me one word. Once a goal is set, you should persevere and keep going for it!” Jin Xiangdong slightly lifted the corners of his mouth.

“I see, and this is your encouragement for me, am I right?” Lu Jia’er was overwhelmed with excitement and smiled.

“I believe your perceptive ability is first-class!” said Jin Xiangdong.

Dialog with a person of high-intelligence like Jin Xiangdong wouldn’t seem to be direct and straight, but all it took was to read between the lines.

“In fact, my execution is also great!” Lu Jia’er decided to go even further following his words and she gave Jin Xiangdong’s cheek a small kiss while she stood on her tiptoes.

The red lips touched his face, like a beautiful butterfly resting on a flower, giving a gentle kiss, and then quickly flying away. Jin Xiangdong froze on the spot, and it seemed as though time had stopped, but his heartbeat soared.

This was the most daring deed Lu Jia’er had performed on the opposite sex since childhood. Although there was no inherent restraint of women, it directly showed her intention. In the end, she still remembered to solemnly declare to Jin Xiangdong, “It has been stamped!”
