NovelEnglishLiving With a Temperamental Adonis 99 Proclamations of Love
Chapter 320: The Quiet Man 1His face was like the masterpiece of a Greek artist who had put their attention into every line and angle on his face. Even though he was not wearing an expression, it could still present a fatal attraction, one that would ensure people were not able to take their eyes off him.
His brows would crease and relax as he read through the document. When he made a decision with his workers, his fingers would occasionally twiddle the pen in his grasp or habitually reach out to his temples to massage them. His movement was slow when he read the document, his eyes following his progress closely, starting from the top left and going from one line to another. There was no hesitation when he dropped his signature; it was done in one smooth motion.
Song Qingchun had seen many people at work before, but she had never realized a person could be so fatally attractive when he was absolutely focused on his work. It was then that she realized a man could exude natural temptations when he worked.

After some time, probably reminded of the fact Song Qingchun was still in the room, or maybe he could feel her gaze on him, Su Zhinian placed a signed document on his desk, and his eyes slowly turned to Song Qingchun.
When their eyes met, Song Qingchun lowered her eyes hurriedly and pretended to search for something in the large bag left behind by Cheng Qingchong. She eventually pulled out a magazine and pretended to read it.
She stared at the magazine for a long time, but none of the content registered in her mind. There were multiple voices talking about the issues of liquidation in the room, but the voice that fell into her ears was Su Zhinian's alone.

Su Zhinian's office was perfectly soundproof. Other than the sound of the air purifier, there was no other noise.
Song Qingchun had never been in quiet company with Su Zhinian before at the bungalow, and for some reason, her heart started to race.
She flipped through the magazine that she had lost all interest in, and without realizing it herself, the corner of her eyes kept drifting toward Su Zhinian.
