"Miss, Miss Aether, please don't... Mmm!" Baiwen's voice was intermittent, while the other two remained seated at their desks, eyes downcast, blushing and silent.
Aether hadn't actually done anything major, just taken out the strange immortal mechanism he had on him and placed it on Baiwen.
Who would have thought Baiwen's reaction would be even greater than he imagined...
"Shhh, not so loud, it wouldn't be good if others heard us later," Aether said to Baiwen in his arms, while pulling Baiwen's black tights back up to her waist.
This small office didn't have soundproofing measures, but to prevent work from being disturbed by noisy sounds, being in this office actually meant you couldn't hear outside sounds.
So they had to be careful. There were so many secretaries in Yuehai Pavilion; if others found out that Baiwen and the other two had such a relationship with him, Aether couldn't imagine how tired he would be.
Why say this? The reason is simple: almost all the secretaries in Yuehai Pavilion were girls.
If he was discovered, Aether would just have to "deal with" each person who found out.
"Alright, slowly enjoy it. This is an immortal's item, and it's amazing," Aether finally rubbed through the silky fabric again, saying with a smile.
"Mmm..." Baiwen couldn't resist and could only endure silently, her brows slightly furrowed.
To be honest, she found it hard to imagine what kind of immortal would invent such an immortal mechanism.
Miss Aether said this thing was good for the body, especially for ordinary people like them, the effect was even better. While it couldn't promise longevity and eternal youth, it was certainly much stronger than the beauty products they usually used.
Baiwen didn't really doubt whether it was truly that miraculous, after all, Aether himself brought it, and looking at the exquisite patterns on it, it was definitely an immortal mechanism.
However, the method of use was simply too...
"Mmm, alright, you all should rest too, it's already so late," Aether walked over to the sofa and sat down, saying to the few of them.
The three of them always had a lot of work on a daily basis, but when they followed Ningguang, they mostly played a supportive role, so it wasn't that tiring.
But after coming here to temporarily take over Ganyu's work, it was a different story.
Ganyu was an immortal after all, capable and powerful, and had been doing this job for over a thousand years, familiar with all aspects.
No matter how hard these three worked, it would probably be difficult to reach Ganyu's level.
"Bai Xiao is right, with Miss Aether by our side, no matter how long we work, we won't feel any fatigue," Baishi pushed his glasses up, the blush on his face equally obvious.
However, he wasn't as shy as Bai Xiao; at least he dared to look up and meet Aether's gaze.
"That being said, you still need to rest. It's about balancing work and rest..." Aether turned his head to look out the window.
It was completely dark now. Normally, the three of them wouldn't return to the dorms so early, but since Aether was here, he certainly wouldn't let them stay in the office for too long.
Of course, office play was also good, but it couldn't be played for too long, after all, this was not like Acting Grand Master Jean's office, nor like Ningguang's dedicated office room on Qunyu Pavilion.
Aether was somewhat concerned about this; he didn't want to be discovered.
"Let's go, we're going to sleep."
"Okay, okay," Baiwen was the first to get up. She really couldn't bear it anymore. If she continued to stay, who knows what might happen.
Seeing this, Bai Xiao and Baishi also put down their work.
Ganyu would be back soon, Aether said so.
In that case, they really didn't need to rush too much, just keeping up with the progress was fine. Once Ganyu returned, everything would be alright.
Besides, Ningguang's original task for them was to return first and serve Aether well. Helping Yuehai Pavilion with work was not their primary duty.
--------------------------------------
Keqing gripped the corner of her clothes, her cheeks flushed.
She wasn't trying to eavesdrop. It was mainly because Baiwen's voice was just too loud, and although it was only for an instant, she still caught it.
In such a situation, Keqing had no choice but to stop and not rashly enter the office.
She hesitated at the office door, unsure whether to open it or not.
To be honest, she really wanted to tell herself that she must have misunderstood something, that perhaps she had misheard just now, or that there was some special reason.
However, when she pressed her ear to the door, she heard the intermittent "Miss Aether... don't..." and Baiwen's strange sounds, which seemed to be both enduring and enjoying, coming from inside the room.
Keqing really couldn't associate it with any other scene.
Finally, it was a few words spoken by Aether that settled the matter.
As for what Aether said, that cannot be mentioned, otherwise this chapter will definitely be put into the black room and never released again, just like the previous chapters.
Keqing really couldn't continue standing at the door of this room; just thinking about what was happening inside made her heart pound uncontrollably, so she retreated to a corner of the corridor.
She took deep breaths, calming her racing heart.
She had never imagined that Aether and Ningguang's secretaries would have such a relationship.
Keqing was not some Demoiselle who understood nothing; as the Yuheng Star who often walked among the common people of Liyue, Keqing knew the sufferings of the world.
Similarly, she also knew about some less-than-presentable relationships.
Keqing had never discriminated against such things; as someone who dared to question the Geo Archon, she was not hidebound.
It was just that she had never thought such a relationship would appear so close to her, and even…
"Wait, Baixiao and Baishi should be in the room too, right?" Keqing suddenly thought of an important question.
They were dealing with the work left by Ganyu, and Baiwen alone could not possibly complete all of it.
So, all three of them were together; if Baiwen and Aether were doing those things, wouldn't the other two be watching?
Or rather, Aether actually had an extraordinary connection with all three of them?
If she thought that way, then would Ningguang also…
Keqing's eyes widened; she felt as if she had discovered some incredible secret.
For a moment, her mind was in a turmoil.
