Her eyes were a little shy, and her heart was racing whenever she thought about Tang Xue inviting her to sleep together.
Although they had slept in the same bed for a long time before, a hotel is different from home.
At the hotel, that's because they didn't have many other options, but at home...
Lin Xiaoxiao patted her face. Did this mean that Tang Xue had gotten used to her intimate contact?
A smile appeared on Lin Xiaoxiao's lips; she was truly excited and thrilled.
Lin Xiaoxiao allowed her excitement to linger for a long time before she finally calmed down.
Pushing open the door to the room, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately saw Tang Xue sitting on the bed, holding a book in her hands.
Hearing the sound, Tang Xue looked up. The soft light fell on her eyes, making her already gentle features appear even more tender. "Come quickly," Tang Xue patted the spot next to her.
Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, feeling a warm, itchy feeling in her heart, though she didn't know if it was because the lighting was too soft.
Whether it was her imagination or not, she always felt that Tang Xue's gaze upon her was so gentle it could melt a person.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao standing blankly at the door, Tang Xue closed the book and put it aside, then lifted the blanket and prepared to get out of bed.
"I'm thinking, how can someone be so good-looking!" Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled, stopping Tang Xue from getting out of bed.
Tang Xue paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's smiling face and smiled back, "I can give you that same sentence too."
"hey-hey."
Lin Xiaoxiao scratched her cheek, climbed into bed, and covered herself with the blanket.
Tang Xue found it somewhat amusing to see Lin Xiaoxiao sleeping so obediently and neatly.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head to look at her, her clear, doe-like eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
"I'm thinking, how can there be such a cute person?" Tang Xue pinched Lin Xiaoxiao's nose.
Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and lowered her eyes. "I know, you must be laughing at my sleeping posture."
"You said it yourself, I didn't say anything," Tang Xue chuckled, her eyes full of gentle smiles.
Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, sat up from the bed, raised an eyebrow at Tang Xue, reached out and hugged Tang Xue's waist, and put her head on Tang Xue's lap.
“You keep saying I have bad sleeping posture, so of course I have to wear this hat properly.”
Tang Xue's body stiffened, her heart pounding incredibly fast as she looked at the fluffy head in her arms.
Tang Xue swallowed hard, gently bit her tongue, and finally found her voice, "I didn't wrong you."
"I know."
Lin Xiaoxiao snuggled closer to Tang Xue, "Isn't this what I'm doing for my own reputation right now?"
Tang Xue was amused and pinched Lin Xiaoxiao's cheek, "I've never seen anyone like you."
“You see it now.” Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at her, saw the light in Tang Xue’s eyes, and reached out to touch her eyes. “You’re asleep now.”
"Shouldn't you be asleep?" Tang Xue placed her hand over Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, then subconsciously curled her fingers.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyelashes were very long, and she could feel the other person's eyelashes brushing against her palm.
The itchy sensation traveled from my palms to every corner of my body.
Tang Xue's hand trembled slightly, and she withdrew it, gently patting Lin Xiaoxiao's head. "Go to sleep, it's late."
"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao reluctantly let go of Tang Xue's waist. "By the way, Sister Bingbing said she got you a role in a rural-themed variety show."
"Variety shows?"
Tang Xue was a little surprised. She had just finished filming, and even if they wanted to maintain her popularity, they didn't need to arrange a variety show for her so soon.
Although Tang Xue didn't mind starting work immediately, she still didn't quite understand why Bai Bing had arranged work for her so quickly.
"It's a live-streamed variety show, and ordinary people can also participate."
As Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, she observed Tang Xue's reaction, "Sister Bingbing asked me to participate with you."
Seeing the little girl's round eyes filled with a mixture of expectation and unease, Tang Xue softened her expression. "Won't this affect your work?"
"No, that won't happen." Lin Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows happily. "I found a very capable person for the company. When I'm not at the company, he can completely handle the company's affairs for me."
"Oh! I wonder what kind of person she is that our CEO Lin values so highly?" Tang Xue's expression flickered when she saw the light in the girl's eyes.
“His name is Lin Chuze.” Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes sparkled. “He’s a very talented businessman. You know about Tianyu Real Estate, right?”
Tang Xue nodded. Although she hadn't specifically looked into this matter, she had heard others discuss it while on set.
I heard that the other party directly ruined his family company. He is a ruthless and decisive person, as well as someone with extremely good business acumen.
Seeing the way Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she mentioned Lin Chuze, Tang Xue's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
"I've heard people from the crew mention him; he's definitely a very capable person."
"You also think he's amazing, right?" Lin Xiaoxiao didn't realize that her reaction when talking about Lin Chuze made Tang Xue realize that she was interested in Lin Chuze.
Still basking in the joy of discovering such an outstanding talent, she didn't realize that Tang Xue's gaze towards her had changed somewhat.
"Are you very interested in him?" Tang Xue asked without the slightest hesitation, a faint smile on her face.
But the way she was gripping the blanket tightly with her hands revealed that she was not at peace.
"I wouldn't say I'm interested in him, I just think he's a very capable person and I admire him a bit."
Lin Xiaoxiao touched her chin. "I don't think I've told you yet. This Lin Chuze is actually Lin Yu's younger brother."
Before Tang Xue could even show her sadness, her expression was replaced by surprise. "They're brothers?"
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoxiao moved closer to Tang Xue and enthusiastically shared the gossip she knew with her.
"Xiaoxiao, thank you." After hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Tang Xue's feelings were truly complicated.
From Lin Xiaoxiao's account, she learned about the relationship between Lin Chuze and Lin Yu, and also learned that Lin Chuze was the person Lin Xiaoxiao had hired to deal with Lin Yu.
Needless to say, Lin Xiaoxiao's purpose in wanting to deal with Lin Yu was also for her sake.
"Don't be so polite." Lin Xiaoxiao lay down and covered herself with the blanket. "Don't be so polite with me, it will make me sad."
"Really?" Tang Xue tilted her body and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Yes." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded seriously. "I want to be good to you because you are good to me too."
Tang Xue lowered her eyes slightly, "You always think of me so much, I don't know how to repay you."
If you really don't know how to repay me, then... offer yourself to me.
Lin Xiaoxiao stared at the ceiling, not turning her head to look at Tang Xue. Only she knew how fast her heart was beating, and her hands, hidden under the covers, were almost tearing her clothes apart.
"Alright, I have nothing to repay you with but my body." Tang Xue had to admit that she was deeply moved when she heard those words.

Chapter 67
==================
When Tang Xue woke up in the morning, she found that Lin Xiaoxiao was no longer by her side.
After lying there in a daze for a while, Tang Xue picked up her phone and glanced at it, only to see the message Lin Xiaoxiao had sent her.
"I'm going to the company. Remember to eat breakfast when you get up in the morning. Have a good rest at home today."
Tang Xue smiled, her thoughts drifting back to last night.
"It's my honor to be favored by such a beautiful woman." Lin Xiaoxiao held Tang Xue's hand and, to the other's surprise, kissed the back of her hand.
And then, that was it. I remember cowardly saying, "Going to sleep, I'm sleepy."
Then I pulled the blanket over myself and forced myself to close my eyes.
She didn't dare turn around to look at Lin Xiaoxiao's expression, so at that time, Tang Xue didn't know how complicated the little girl's eyes were when she looked at her back.
"Why."
With a sigh, Tang Xue sat up in bed and stared blankly at the back of her hand.
The kiss that landed on the back of her hand felt like it was landing on her heart. Its burning heat seemed to scorch her skin. Despite its soft touch, it felt as if her heart was being burned as well.
Tang Xue rubbed her face hard, suppressing her turbulent thoughts, then got out of bed and decided to get herself something to eat first.
"Chairman, are you sure you want me to handle these matters?"
Lin Chuze doubted his ears; he couldn't believe that Lin Xiaoxiao would give him so much power.
It was already beyond Lin Chuze's expectations that he was able to work for the Lin Group.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaoxiao disregarded the board's objections and arranged this position for herself, which, in Lin Chuze's view, was already Lin Xiaoxiao's greatest courage.
But now he realized that he had underestimated Lin Xiaoxiao; she was much bolder than he had imagined.
"Otherwise what?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Chuze with some curiosity. She recruited Lin Chuze into the company precisely to have him share the workload.
"I am very grateful to the chairman for his high regard for me, but I have only just joined the company and have not yet mastered many things. The chairman has given me so much power, I am afraid it will not be convincing to the public."
Although Lin Chuze was very grateful to Lin Xiaoxiao for valuing him and for trusting him.
However, for Lin Xiaoxiao's sake, Lin Chuze still hoped that Lin Xiaoxiao could reconsider carefully.
"I know you're not very familiar with the company's business yet, so I'm handing things over to you right now."
Don't worry too much. I believe that with your abilities, you'll be able to get the hang of it quickly. And if you don't understand anything, my secretary is here; she'll help you.
Lin Xiaoxiao had no idea how surprising her decision was.
She simply felt that with Lin Chuze's business acumen, he could completely handle some of the company's affairs on her behalf during her absence.
"As for your point about not being able to convince the public..." Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, "I believe in your abilities."
