She spoke with a hint of shyness.
"How much longer are you planning to hold me like this?"
"I thought you'd like being held like this."
Though he was reluctant in every possible way, he decisively let go, his gaze resting tenderly on Dr. Mobius.
He understood that this was not the time to continue their intimacy.
Without Moros's embrace to support her, Dr. Mobius staggered slightly before regaining her footing. She adjusted her clothes and hair, trying to recover her usual composure and efficiency.
Yet the shyness and reluctance in her eyes were difficult to conceal.
"Should we... handle the work first?"
She spoke somewhat awkwardly, trying to use work as a distraction.
Moros nodded, a gentle smile curling at the corners of his lips.
"Yes, work comes first. But the way you looked just now was truly beautiful."
At those words, Dr. Mobius's cheeks turned even redder.
She lowered her head shyly, not daring to meet Moros's deep eyes brimming with affection.
But deep within her heart, a warm current quietly surged. It was the sweet feeling of being understood and cherished, a taste of true happiness she had not experienced in a long time.
Outside the laboratory, Danzhu and Cangxuan also recovered from their shock.
"Wow, I never thought the doctor could make that kind of expression."
Danzhu whispered to Cangxuan about what they had just seen, her face overflowing with barely concealed excitement and curiosity.
She was always extremely interested in this kind of gossip.
"Danzhu, have you thought about how we're going to face the doctor afterward?"
There was a trace of concern in Cangxuan's voice.
Unlike her younger sister, who was immersed in gossip, Cangxuan's survival instincts told her that the matter was far from over.
Dr. Mobius was not a particularly forgiving person.
