Tian Tian couldn't help but turn around when she heard the voice, and Gu Ling also carefully poked his head out from behind Tian Tian.

At the doorway stood a girl dressed in all black, her attire both mysterious and capable. Her sunglasses cast a faint shadow, obscuring her eyes but adding a touch of coolness to her demeanor. Her short, ear-length hair, meticulously styled with a slight wave at the ends, exuded a unique elegance and confidence. Her upright posture seemed to project an untouchable aura, and the air around her seemed to grow heavier with her presence. Overall, she resembled a heroine emerging from the city, her distinct personality and unforgettable grace unwavering.

"So beautiful!" Tian Tian couldn't help but admire secretly in her heart. The woman in front of her was completely different from the fiery and charming Sister Hong in her impression. It was like a miracle between two intertwined worlds.

Sister Hong is the kind of woman who makes people feel like she is passionate and charming at first sight, but the girl in front of him gives a completely opposite feeling - she is cool but still has that charming and unique style.

"Sister Xiao?" A soft and delicate voice sounded in Tian Tian's ears. There was a subtle timidity in the voice, which made Tian Tian frown involuntarily.

"Sister Xiao, why are you here?" Gu Ling bypassed Tian Tian and came directly in front of the girl, but it seemed that the girl's attention was not on her. Instead, she bypassed Gu Ling and locked her eyes on Tian Tian.

An inexplicable chill quietly permeated the girl's body, carrying an undeniable chill and oppression, making the air around them seem to freeze a little. Tian Tian felt a chill slowly creeping up her spine and reaching the tip of her heart, and she couldn't help but shiver. This chill seemed to reach deep into her soul, making her feel a little wary and uneasy.

Tian Tian's gaze fell gently on the girl's face, and what was inadvertently revealed was an extremely strong hostility that was hard to ignore, like a cold winter wind, quietly penetrating her heart.

"You are Tian Tian?" The girl's voice was filled with scrutiny. She gently pushed Gu Ling beside her to the side, and then looked Tian Tian up and down with an almost critical gaze, as if she did not miss any details.

Tian Tian couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Gu Ling, as if seeking an answer, before slowly retracting it and responding cautiously: "Yes, I'm Tian Tian. Do we... know each other?"

Hearing this, the girl raised a faint yet slightly provocative smile and gracefully took off the sunglasses on her nose. In an instant, a pair of cold and ruthless eyes came into Tian Tian's sight, like a deep cold pool, which made people's hearts shudder involuntarily.

"Hmph, you're quite pretty." The girl's words were filled with unquestionable arrogance. She gently withdrew her scrutinizing gaze from Tian Tian, ​​and then leisurely looked around the office which was decorated simply but stylishly. Finally, with a leisurely pace, she slowly walked to the back of Lin Tao's large desk and sat down elegantly.

Tian Tian looked at the girl's barely concealed pride and arrogance, a faint smile curling her lips, secretly amused. She quietly cast her gaze to Gu Ling, trying to find an answer from her reaction, but she only saw Gu Ling's expression of nervousness, her eyes flickering, filled with anxiety and caution, as if the girl was the most untouchable sharp edge in the world.

"Even the princess felt a little scared. Who is this woman?" Tian Tian thought to herself, and an inexplicable curiosity and desire to explore arose spontaneously.

Tian Tian couldn't help but turn her head again and look towards where the girl was sitting.

"What are you still doing standing there? Come here quickly!" The girl's voice, with a hint of unquestionable determination, penetrated the surrounding tranquility and struck Tian Tian's heart.

"I have such a bad temper!" Tian Tian muttered to herself, with a bit of impatience that was hard to conceal in her tone. She tugged at her sleeves lightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she slowly walked towards the uninvited guest.

"No, who are you? Do you know where this is? Can you just sit here casually?" Tian Tian stood in front of the desk, hands on her hips, staring at the girl in front of her with sharp eyes, her tone full of questioning and dissatisfaction.

"Hmph!" The girl sneered, a hint of amusement and provocation lurking within her smile. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Ran, and I'm from Siam. It's her..." Xiao Ran said, pointing to Gu Ling, who was about to slip away nearby. "I'm her personal bodyguard and the deputy captain of her security team."

Gu Ling's heart trembled, and the steps she was about to take seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and she froze involuntarily in mid-air. Slowly, with almost ritualistic caution, she twisted her body, a subtle flicker of nervousness in her eyes, and met the gazes of the two women in the room.

"Hehe, that door wasn't closed properly. I closed it."

Gu Ling smiled awkwardly and gently closed the open glass door.

"Why is this Gu Ling so afraid of this Xiao Ran?" Tian Tian glanced at the slightly embarrassed Gu Ling and speculated in her heart. Then she looked at Xiao Ran who was sitting there with a puzzled look, and her doubts became even deeper.

"You know my name and what I do, so don't you have anything to ask me?" Xiao Ran's eyes were like sharp blades, full of provocation, shooting straight at Tian Tian. When their eyes met, it seemed as if the temperature in the room instantly rose to a peak, then quickly dropped to freezing point.

Gu Ling stood aside, her whole body tightly wrapped in this tense atmosphere. She felt uncomfortable all over, as if even her breathing had become cautious, for fear that any carelessness, an unintentional movement or a slight sound would provoke the female evil spirit in the house.

"I don't care who you are. I'm the most powerful person in this office besides CEO Gu, so if you know what's good for you, get up from your chair right away. Otherwise, I don't care who you are. If you piss me off, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Tian Tian was not unaware of the hostility that Xiao Ran was emitting, intentionally or unintentionally. She was not someone who would tolerate being bullied. Although she didn't know why Xiao Ran, who had suddenly appeared, had such strong hostility towards her, she seemed to have never been afraid of anyone in China who wanted to provoke her.

"You have quite a temper!" Xiao Ran gently brushed the scattered hair across his forehead, a faint yet profound smile playing on his lips. There seemed to be a subtle edge hidden within that smile. "Today, let alone you, even if Gu Cai came here himself, he wouldn't dare speak to me in this tone!"

"Oh? Then you can give it a try!" Tian Tian didn't show any fear when she heard this. Instead, her eyes flashed with a sense of challenge that she was eager to try.

How could she, the little witch of Fanjiang, be intimidated by such a small word in such a small space? The stubbornness and unruliness that came from her bones made her response resounding, as if declaring to Xiao Ran: In her territory, she is the rule.
