219: Chapter 218 Trapped 219: Chapter 218 Trapped “No... it’s okay, just got a bit scared... Ah!” Hu Qingdie had just left Liu Hun’s embrace when she suddenly felt a chill on her head and dove back into his arms. This beauty entered his embrace for the second time, her body soft and fragrant, causing a natural reaction in Liu Hun. Just as he was about to ask what was happening, he suddenly felt a coolness on his own head followed by a “sizzling” sound. “What’s going on?” “It’s okay! I was just a bit too frightened, it’s the elevator’s built-in cooling and fire-prevention system. I guess there’s a malfunction, so it turned on automatically,” Hu Qingdie took a deep breath and quickly scrambled out of Liu Hun’s arms. Thankfully, it was pitch dark, which concealed the flush on her face. Hu Qingdie’s face was drenched, and she hastily reached into her bag for tissues. While reaching for them, she said to Liu Hun, “Executive Liu, I have tissues, let me wipe the water off my face... Oh no!” While she was speaking, her water-soaked hand accidently slipped, and her entire bag fell to the floor of the elevator. Although it was too dark to see clearly, Liu Hun could tell what had happened from the sound and immediately said to Hu Qingdie, “Let me help you pick it up.” They both crouched down, and in the pitch-black surroundings, they could only feel around with their hands. Hu Qingdie was initially focusing on looking for her dropped items, but suddenly she moved forward, immediately feeling Liu Hun’s breath on her face, and her body instinctively recoiled like a touch-me-not plant, her heart pounding rapidly. In the dark, the two of them had unknowingly moved very close to each other. When Hu Qingdie realized she was almost pressing against Liu Hun, his breath made her legs weaken and her heart flutter, and she frantically reached out her hand. “Uh!” Liu Hun, who was intently searching, suddenly felt a rush of blood and immediately reacted. “This is... I don’t think I have this thing... Ah!” Hu Qingdie suddenly realized something was amiss! Although inexperienced, she understood what it was, and immediately knew she had grabbed the wrong thing! “Mr. Liu,... I’m sorry, I...” Hu Qingdie was so nervous, she didn’t know what to say. As a dignified female chairman, she couldn’t believe she had made such a move toward Liu Hun. She felt both anxious and flustered, worrying about how Liu Hun would view her now. Liu Hun, of course, knew it was unintentional and reassured her, saying, “Chairwoman, it’s hard to see anything in the dark here. Why don’t you stand in the corner and rest a bit, and I’ll look for the rest.” The elegant and beautiful chairwoman’s touch, though soft and comforting, was clearly not the focus at this moment. Liu Hun steadied his emotions and then began to search carefully. Hu Qingdie’s mind was a mess, facing a situation of male-female interaction she had never encountered before. Her brain, usually commanding capital worth billions, suddenly switched into Huang Zishan’s conflicted comical mode. Would he misunderstand? Think I’m improper? Assume I did it on purpose? Spread rumors about it? No matter how strong a woman is, she will eventually submit to an even stronger man, and, right now, Hu Qingdie’s thoughts were proving just that. “What is this?” Liu Hun, groping around in the dark, suddenly picked up a smooth, thumb-sized object with a long, thin string attached. “Sizzle, sizzle... Boom!” Just as Liu Hun was contemplating what it was, the lighting system in the elevator suddenly came back, and the cooling and fire-preventing spraying stopped. At that moment, Liu Hun, who was squatting on the ground, finally saw clearly the pink, round object in his hand—it was a plastic item, about the size of a pigeon’s egg, with a short, thin string attached, and the other end resembled a miniature TV remote control. Hu Qingdie didn’t have Liu Hun’s keen perception. The moment the light flashed on, she instinctively closed her eyes, taking a while to adjust to the bright elevator light. But just as her eyes got used to the light, she saw what Liu Hun was holding! Her beautiful eyes instantly narrowed, her face turned deathly pale, wishing she could just crawl into a crevice, even contemplating if it would be better to die if the elevator were to crash right then. It’s over! What will he think of me?! He’ll definitely think I’m not a decent woman! Why would a proper woman have such a thing?! But everyone has needs, right?! I’ve never been with a man, so solving it myself shouldn’t be wrong, right?! He’s understanding and righteous, he should understand me, right?! Hu Qingdie’s mind was in complete turmoil, fully shifted into Huang Zishan mode, her fingernails almost digging into the elevator wall, not knowing how she’d face Liu Hun later! “Chairman, that’s all the stuff on the floor,” Liu Huyi said as he put things in the bag and then stood up. He was about to turn around! He was about to face her! What should she do? Should she smile? Should she explain how sometimes things can be tough? Would he connect the incident where he touched him with this object? Hu Qingdie felt like a student waiting for her college entrance exam results, fearful and anxious, but now she had to face Liu Huyi turning around. “Chairman, here is your bag,” Liu Huyi said with a smile as he handed the bag to Hu Qingdie. Looking at her closely, Hu Qingdie stared back like a scared quail, and he asked with concern, “Chairman, what’s wrong? Why do you look so unwell, are you feeling uncomfortable?” “No... nothing...” Hu Qingdie stuttered as she grabbed the bag, her head bowed, not daring to meet Liu Huyi’s eyes. However, what Hu Qingdie, looking down, did not see was that at that moment, Liu Huyi was staring at her in shock—not because of her pale face, but... her clothes, soaked and clinging tightly to her body! As Hu Qingdie was wearing a white shirt today, to avoid the see-through effect of colored underwear, she naturally chose a thin white bra. Little did she expect the wet white shirt to exhibit such an effect. “Bang bang bang! Chairman! Chairman! Are you in there? Can you hear me?” Just as the two felt awkward, shouts came from outside the elevator. Liu Huyi quickly came to his senses and yelled to the outside, “Yes! The chairman’s in here!” “Who are you? How is the chairman doing?” Liu Huyi continued to shout outside, “I’m Liu Huyi, the new executive director. The chairman and I are fine!” “That’s Executive Director Liu! Executive Director Liu, Chairman! Just wait a moment! The engineering staff will arrive in a few minutes! They’ll open the elevator doors soon!” “Alright!” Liu Huyi responded to the outside and turned to Hu Qingdie and started to take off his clothes! Hu Qingdie bit her lip, watching Liu Huyi in horror, worrying in her heart about him seeing her as a lustful woman, a fear that seemed about to come true! She even imagined, based on TV drama scenarios, what Liu Huyi might say soon, a sleazy and lecherous face saying, “Baby, stop pretending, let’s get happy together...” Frustration, indignation, fear, and the constant pressure of dealing with her stepmother, Xie Dan, were all ignited by Liu Huyi’s approaching steps. The façade of being a highly dignified, elegant woman, like a queen presiding over the court, was torn apart in that moment, and all the emotions Hu Qingdie had been suppressing exploded. “Rip!” Hu Qingdie tore the suit jacket from Liu Huyi’s hands, startling him, completely unaware of what he had done wrong. Tears in her eyes, Hu Qingdie, with a delicate classical beauty, flushed red with various emotions, bellowed at Liu Huyi, “Yes! I touched you just now! So what?! I used this to play, what about it? Can’t I have my own space? Can’t I have my own feelings and desires? The group, the group, the group, everything is about the group, I’m being driven insane! Do you know how much I have to drink every day, how many times I have to do it myself to calm down?! I can’t stand it... wuuu...” Liu Huyi was scolded without understanding what was going on, as Hu Qingdie leaned against the slippery elevator wall, sobbing like a wronged little wife, revealing her true feelings openly. After a few seconds to process, although not fully understanding Hu Qingdie’s thoughts, he knew what he should do now. Thus, he reached out and pulled Hu Qingdie close into his embrace, his strong, dependable shoulders lent to this woman who appeared so regal to outsiders but was now crying hopelessly. “Why did you have to come! Why did you have to press me! Why did you have to destroy my facade and my strength...” Hu Qingdie sobbed, her fists pounding on Liu Huyi’s chest, filled with an indescribable sense of grievance, yet also resembling a wife coquettishly scolding her own man. Liu Huyi let Hu Qingdie hit him nonviolently, holding her tightly, a strong protective desire emerged in his heart, a desire to completely possess the woman in his arms, whether she was the high-ranking boss or the commanding chairman of the billion-dollar corporation, as long as she was in his embrace, she was his woman! After Hu Qingdie cried and vented, all the emotional pressure was cleanly released. Leaning on Liu Huyi’s shoulder felt like returning to her carefree days as a young lady before she became the corporation’s chairman. She hadn’t felt completely relaxed like this until today, lying on this man’s shoulder. Taking a breather, Hu Qingdie took a deep breath and then pushed Liu Huyi away, looking at him with complex eyes, she asked, “You... what were you trying to do just now?”
