Suddenly, Bai Shuiru, who was held tightly in Hei Huomian's arms, began to struggle, "I have to draw this new inspiration quickly, or it will slip away!"

Hei Huomian had seen the design draft, which was a couple's ring. He had even teased Bai Shuiru about it:

"It turns out that my fiancée is looking forward to our wedding more than I am. She has even prepared a token of love, and it is even better than the diamond ring I prepared before. It turns out that we are in tune with each other and will always be the only ones who understand each other's thoughts best." He successfully provoked the little girl to shyly step on him and then run away.

Hei Huomian tightened his arms, rested his chin on Bai Shuiru's shoulder, and said coquettishly:

"Even if you don't accompany me, you should at least eat lunch first. Let me see my fiancée for half an hour." He made the number "3" gesture with his long fingers.

"Ten minutes." Bai Shuiru made the number "1" and then lightly bit the man's fingertips. The next moment, the man kissed her fingertips.

The young couple was bargaining in a sticky manner when there was an inopportune knock on the door. Bai Shuiru was the first to answer the door, then she broke free from Hei Huomian's embrace and jumped up. Her eyes, which were already full of spirit, glowed even more with inspiration:

"Eat your lunch by yourself, I'll go to the design first!" She rushed into the lounge with her laptop and slammed the door shut.

Li You, who had just entered the room, was stunned and responded doubtfully:

"Miss Bai means..."

"--Let me have lunch by myself first, she has to finish her design." Hei Huomian turned his head to look at the door of the lounge and answered in a firm tone.

Don't even mention you. I almost didn't come to my senses just now.

In the lounge, Bai Shuiru first used pen and paper to revise his previous ideas, and only after repeated consideration did he draw on the computer.

The inspiration came so suddenly that Bai Shuiru was urged to complete the new design in one go, without even having time to eat lunch.

It was not until twenty minutes before work that Hei Huomian knocked on the door of the lounge.

After getting the approval, Hei Huomian pushed open the door and happened to run into Bai Shuiru who was hurriedly closing her laptop and packing up her draft paper.

The man was silent for a few seconds, still standing at the door of the lounge, and asked tentatively:

"…you're…you don't want me to see your work?"

Bai Shuiru quickly climbed down from the bed using both hands and feet, jumped in front of Hei Huomian, hugged Jian Yao, and coaxed:

"No, Mianmian, listen to me~!"

The girl pulled the man to the bedside, kept her arms around her waist, looked up at him and explained sincerely:

"I just hope that you can judge my and other contestants' works fairly and impartially from a bystander's perspective. Because I don't want to, and I'm not willing to, trap you, my boyfriend, who is also the highest decision-maker and leader of Ming Xin, in endless malicious speculation and false opinions. And I also believe that with my own abilities and works, I will definitely win the competition and successfully enter the design department with my own abilities."

Hei Huomian sighed deeply and hugged Bai Shuiru with great heartache, "I'm sorry, I always thought I was strong enough to protect you from any rumors or substantial harm; but I let you enter the Dark Heart, and you suffered a lot of grievances. Did I do something wrong?"

"I know you love me and pity me, and you have always protected me well; but I also want to constantly improve myself, so that I can have enough ability to create works that can affirm myself, so that I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you." Bai Shuiru said, holding Hei Huomian's face with both hands and kissing him gently on the lips.

Hei Huomian responded affectionately, and before they could deepen their passion, they heard a series of unpleasant hungry growls.

Hei Huomian sighed softly, and after quickly returning a kiss to Bai Shuiru, he took her laptop and drawings with one hand, and held her hand with the other, "Look at me, I forgot that I wanted to come in and remind you to have lunch."

"Ah, lunch~! By the way, you said before that you prepared a seafood feast for me. Is it seafood pasta or seafood pizza?!" Bai Shuiru swallowed her saliva, took the initiative and dragged Hei Huomian out of the lounge, "Ah, we have to go to work in 11 minutes!"

"It's okay! I'll buy it for you..." Hei Huomian was originally accompanying the little girl to eat slowly, but when he saw the little girl wolfing down the food, he quickly stopped serving the food and gently advised:

"Shui Ru, please eat slowly. It's not good for digestion."

"...Well, no...unfortunately...I can't let you get caught up in rumors all the time." (No, I can't let you get caught up in rumors all the time.)

"Eat slowly, okay?" Seeing that he couldn't persuade Bai Shuiru, Hei Huomian immediately used the "gentle policy":

"If you feel unwell, I will be worried about you and sad. We have such a good relationship, maybe I can empathize with you and feel uncomfortable in my stomach..." Before Hei Huomian finished speaking, he raised his hand and pressed it on his stomach, frowning, "My stomach is a little uncomfortable and it hurts a little."

Bai Shuiru squinted at the actor's upper body, and saw the man who had already rested his head on her shoulder and whispered something in her ear, "Stop~!" She pressed her slender finger on the man's lips, "I'll eat slowly, okay?"

Hei Huomian glanced at Bai Shuiru, then continued to rub his stomach and cried out in pain, "I have such a miserable life~~! My fiancée doesn't care about a poor, weak, small, helpless insomniac like me at all."

"Hei Huo Mian, why didn't I think your acting was so good before?" Bai Shuiru said, picking up a crab leg that the man had peeled for her and putting it into his mouth as a token of his appreciation.

"The attribute was activated because his fiancée didn't care about her fiancée." After Hei Huomian finished eating the crab meat, he moved closer to the person and pursed his lips, motioning her to help him wipe his mouth.

Bai Shuiru finished the last bite of king crab meat, smiled and wiped the soup on the man's face, then jumped into the bathroom in the lounge suite to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Bai Shuiru just scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face when a scene of gossiping in a large office suddenly appeared in the makeup mirror in front of her:

"Have you heard? The future boss lady is coming to our department to be Rakshasa's assistant."

"Isn't that a happy reunion of old and new loves~~?! Exciting, is this something I can watch for free~?!"

"From what I can see, this new lover is not very popular with Mr. Hei, otherwise why would he be banished downstairs in public to be with the Rakshasa woman who eats people without spitting out their souls?"

"That's not it~! I heard that Mr. Hei personally brought several boxes of gems worth hundreds of millions, and promised that the group's Fire Whisper would be completely managed and designed by Luosha, and that she would also serve as the director of the group's brand design center, so he invited her to our Mingxin!"

"After that, the batch of gems never appeared in the eyes of the world again. I wonder if it was just a cover-up and was actually given to the Rakshasa woman in private?"

"No way? I heard that there are three sapphires in that batch of gems that are considered the best. The 139-carat sapphire is said to come from the most famous sapphire necklace of Queen M.L of R. After the R kingship was overthrown in 1918, the king's family lost the necklace in exile, and the gems on it were disassembled, cut and auctioned."

"Yes, yes, I heard that too! Mr. Hei was bought at an auction five years ago for $983 million. It was then that Mr. Hei stepped out from behind the scenes and became a world-class buyer."

"Since ancient times, gems have been paired with beauties. When a man wants to express his love to a woman, gems are of course the first choice. Do you think that the loser in my family who bought me a 50-cent shabby ring is a proposal?"

"Mr. Black and Luosha Women's Double A, the two of them are really a perfect match standing together, it's a strong combination of evenly matched strengths!"

"What is this new love? Mr. Hei even has to organize a competition to help her debut..."

"Shh! Be careful, the walls may have ears..."

The image in front of my eyes quickly blurred, as if it was sucked together into a stream and disappeared completely.

Bai Shuiru blinked her eyes and saw the image of the complicated words in the mirror. She suddenly bent down and scooped up a handful of water to splash on her face. Suddenly, she heard someone behind her saying:

"Is this an illusion, or is it real?" The tone of voice was like a swinging swing, carrying with it infinite comfort and laziness.

Bai Shuiru paused because she felt the voice was familiar, then splashed a handful of water on her face before slowly straightening up.

She looked through the mirror at the figure standing behind her, and only then could she see the other person's appearance clearly. Then, from outside the bathroom, Hei Huomian knocked on the door, "Shui Ru? Are you okay?"

Bai Shui subconsciously looked towards the bathroom door and said, "No, I just ate too much and missed you."

"Do you want me to prepare some digestive tablets for you?" There was a hint of smile in Hei Huomian's voice, but he still added with concern.

Bai Shuiru watched the man in the mirror gradually approach her and put his hands on her shoulders. She shuddered for no reason and raised her voice to persuade:

"No, no, you take a rest first, I'll be fine in a moment."

The man then leaned close to her ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"You see, this is human nature~."

Bai Shuiru suddenly pulled away from the "eye contact" and turned his gaze back to his own, saying in a low voice:

"I'm not a person, I'm a pen!" He turned around and pressed the toilet valve again, then quickly pushed the door open and walked out.

The man curled his lips and chuckled. His figure flashed a few times like a signal failure and then disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

As soon as Bai Shuiru walked out of the bathroom, Hei Huomian came forward with a bottle of medicine and asked softly:

"Is your stomach still uncomfortable? How about I rub it for you?"

Bai Shuiru threw herself into the man's arms, hugged his strong waist, put her ear against his warm chest, closed her eyes, listened to his steady heartbeat, and murmured softly:

"Hei Huo Mian, you love me the most, right? You are mine, and mine alone."

The man laughed, contentedly hugged the person who rarely acted like a spoiled child to him, and swore:

"Of course, I belong to you alone. I, Hei Huo Mian, only love you, Bai Shuiru, and only you, Bai Shuiru."

The man's smile gradually froze and straightened, and the dark eyebrows barely visible behind his sunglasses hinted at worry and planning.

When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Yang Rong led Bai Shui down to the design center on the 29th floor.

Bai Shuiru was walking in the corridor when she heard the whispers behind the glass wall:

"Hey~! Have a look in the group, the new favorite is really going to enter our design center!"

"I thought the chairman was just pretending, but I didn't expect him to actually demote his new favorite. It seems like he's really tired of her~!"

"Of course. How can a man who single-handedly founded the Mingxin Group and ranked among the top ten in the world's wealth list the following year be an ordinary person? Such a man will only choose a woman who can help his career and is equally matched with him as his wife; in other words, the prerequisite for meeting Madam Hei's requirements must be a partner."

"Keep your voices down! I heard that the new favorite has gone downstairs with the secretary general..."

Bai Shuiru seems to have an unchanged smile on her lips, and her elegant steps and breath are completely undisturbed. In fact, her calm heart is like thick ink dropped into clear water, and has been arbitrarily dyed into an ink painting that is difficult to describe and even more unpredictable.

It's almost exactly the same as what I just heard?!

Could it be that those weren't just my hallucinations or illusions? Then, then...

"...Bai Shuiru?"

"Ah?!" Bai Shuiru came to her senses and found herself already in the director's office, even sitting on the other side of the desk.

She suddenly realized that she was being oppressed by a strong smell of strong alcohol for a long time. She couldn't help coughing and woke up. The most impressive news she had heard about this director before was:

She is an alcoholic who loves wine all the time, and especially loves strong liquor; but what is surprising is that she has never been drunk, as if she has only drunk plain water.

Bai Shuiru could not help but sneer at the corner of his lips:

Employees are allowed to drink alcohol, especially strong alcohol, during working hours.

It seems that Hei Huomian, who never drinks, made more than a little concession in order to invite this director.

"Bai Shuiru." Yang Rong signaled Bai Shuiru to look forward - a tall, fit, silver-haired woman with a cool aura, who looked to be in her early 30s.

It was obvious that Yang Rong had already introduced Bai Shuiru to Han Shuli and was waiting for her to introduce herself to the former.

Before Bai Shuiru could say anything, Yang Rong received a phone call urging him to leave, so he quickly said goodbye and left.

The sound of the door closing once again divided the interior into another space with an even more oppressive atmosphere than the design center.

Bai Shuiru was born thick-skinned, and had been baptized by Heihuo Mian's aura before, so he was not afraid of Han Shuli, who had a slightly inferior aura. He extended his hand to the other party generously, "Hello, Director! I am..."

Han Shuli's tone was calm and even, more AI-like than AI, "It doesn't matter to me who arranged you to work here, even if that person is the chairman. If you can't meet my requirements, leave immediately."

Bai Shuiru maintained a nonchalant smile, with comments scrolling rapidly in her mind:

Yo~! Why does it sound like you are jealous or angry?

This is a demonstration to force the queen to abdicate...

Ugh! Hei Huo Mian only likes me, so how can she be called the main wife? Isn't this just building a harem for a man?

"Of course." Bai Shuiru nodded and replied calmly:

"Ming Xin is Huo Mian and my home. It will be the same wherever I go."

Han Shuli was equally calm, and his eyes finally fell on the design draft prepared by Bai Shuiru.

Bai Shuiru understood and calmly opened and handed over the design drawings he had prepared one by one.

Fortunately, I managed to prepare all the drawings in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, Han Shuli not only did not read it, but also did not take the manuscript handed over by Bai Shuiru, and directly picked up the pen to sign the work that was interrupted before. "Similarly, your past has nothing to do with the present, let alone your future."
