May I Win Your Smile

"Hello, I'm Wang Yuan. You're Li Ai, right?"

Ai had never before heard anyone say her name without making it sound like "Auntie," and her heart blossomed all the more brightly.

"Yes."

"Could you give me a two-minute introduction?"

"Sure, of course." Li Ai launched right in. "I'm 26 this year. I've been drifting along ever since I graduated, and I've done all kinds of jobs. I can be elegant in public and cook at home, and I'm basically capable of taking care of myself..."

She rattled off the usual dating-profile spiel. Wang Yuan maintained his calm, composed smile. A handsome man's smile had the same effect as a beautiful woman lifting her skirt: it sent your adrenaline soaring. Li Ai ended her introduction with the last two words, "Never married." Exactly two minutes. She had her lines down pat.

"Perhaps you could tell me about your work experience."

Li Ai finally understood why the female college student had been blushing earlier. His voice was like a radio announcer's, clear, low, and sexy.

Li Ai gave a couple of awkward coughs and glanced at the female interviewer, who could no longer keep the black lines of exasperation from spreading across the back of her head. Then she worked her introduction back in, this time including her work experience. This was the interview version. Li Ai might occasionally be a little scatterbrained, but when she needed to be serious, she could still put on a respectable front and bluff her way through.

She sighed to herself. This time, the handsome guy had thrown her off.

Boss, could you please stop smiling so seductively?!
