Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

"Let me in!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a high and sharp female voice outside, with a hint of smugness: "Why are you stopping me? Even Ruan Xingchen will be asking me for help soon. You dare to stop me, aren't you afraid that she will kick you out?"

"Please wait a moment. Once Ms. Ruan agrees, we will take you in."

The staff's gentle persuasion did not make this person behave himself.

Ruan Xingchen frowned, closed the document in his hand, and raised his voice slightly: "Li Mian, come in and tell me what's going on."

There was a hint of coldness in his voice.

Standing at the door, Li Mian, with her pregnant belly bulging, raised her chin and said proudly, "Look, aren't you inviting me in? Who dares to stop me?"

He swept his eyes around with disdain, causing the faces of several people present to look slightly ugly.

Li Mian didn't care at all. He took a deep look at the crowd and then walked into the office leisurely with his nose in the air.

"What kind of person is this! He has no manners at all."

The team leader rolled his eyes at her back and said angrily, "If she wasn't pregnant, I would have kicked her out a long time ago."

Xia Xinyi buried her head deeply and stood beside her without saying a word.

"Xiao Xia, what's wrong? Are you scared?" The team leader nudged her gently and asked casually with a smile, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so absent-minded?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Xia Xinyi's face turned pale. Upon hearing this, she raised her head and forced a smile: "I, I seem to be feeling a little unwell."

"Why do you look so ugly?"

Seeing her pale face, the team leader asked enthusiastically, "Is your period coming? If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself to stay awake. Otherwise, you can take half a day off today..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw a girl coming out of Ruan Xingchen's office and smiled at Xia Xinyi: "Xiao Xia, go make some tea for Ms. Ruan and the guests and bring it in."

"Xiao Xia is not feeling well, let me do it!"

The team leader hurriedly said, "Let Xiaoxia go and rest..."

"No, that's not necessary!"

Xia Xinyi interrupted her and gave her a pale smile: "It's okay with me. I'll just do it."

After saying that, as if she was afraid that they would continue to persuade her, she lowered her head and hurried to the tea room to make tea.

In the office, Li Mian looked around.

Looking at the spacious, imposing, and spotlessly clean office, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

When his gaze turned to Ruan Xingchen, the sporadic jealousy in his eyes suddenly became like a spark that ignited a prairie fire, burning fiercely.

When she came to work, Ruan Xingchen wore a summer women's suit, showing off her curvy figure.

The whole person looks extremely capable and has a strong aura.

Her long, thick black hair was tied behind her head, revealing a section of her slender, white neck.

On her flawless white jade face, her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat sharp, and her lips were full and red. She looked bright and beautiful as she sat there, and her aura was overwhelming.

Li Mian couldn't help but hold the strap of her handbag tightly and straighten her back with a weak look.

She resisted the urge to touch her face.

She was well aware that along with her pregnancy came the spots on her face.

The lack of rest during this period made her look even more haggard.

Only by using cosmetics that can be used by pregnant women can I barely cover up the signs of aging.

She has always regarded Ruan Xingchen as her love rival, so how could she allow herself to look so embarrassed in front of her?

"Is this Ms. Ruan's office?"

She forced herself to be proud and said contemptuously, "That's all there is to it... I thought marrying into the Huo family was such a glorious experience for Ms. Ruan! But you still have to work in this small office?"

"Don't bother, I think this place is great."

Ruan Xingchen glanced at her lightly, not taking the ridicule to heart at all.

She leaned back in her chair.

Crossing his hands on the table, he said calmly, "Mrs. Zhong, you didn't come here to visit my office environment, did you?"

"of course."

Li Mian raised his chin, thinking of what he had in his hand, and couldn't help but show a hint of pride in his eyes.

She walked to the opposite side of Ruan Xingchen and sat down, holding her stomach.

Then he said with a smile: "I came here to ask Ms. Ruan for a favor."

Without waiting for anyone to ask, she said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I know the Huo family is quite powerful, and Ms. Ruan, as Mrs. Huo, must have a lot of face. Brother Shaoyang's parents are my parents. I hope Ms. Ruan can help me keep them safe and prevent them from going to jail."

The tone of her voice was as if the person in front of her was her subordinate, and she could give orders with such confidence.

"You were there at the time, so you should be well aware of the crimes committed by Zhong Dingguo and Lin Rou, right?"

Ruan Xingchen stared at her with a cold gaze. "Tax evasion, suspected murder, engineering fraud. Every single one of these charges is serious. Why do you think I'd help you?"

"So what if I know? No matter how difficult this thing is, you have to do it!"

Li Mian was not surprised by her attitude. He tiptoed confidently and said with a smile, "I also believe that Ms. Ruan will satisfy me."

"Where do you get your confidence?"

Ruan Xingchen found it extremely amusing. She curled her red lips and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Mrs. Zhong, I don't think we have any friendship, do we? What makes you think I would help you?"

Not only are they not friends, they don't even get along well with each other.

What kind of illness did she have that made her come to her and say such things?

"I can ruin your reputation and even put you in jail."

Li Mian raised his chin and looked at people through his nostrils.

He looked so arrogant, as if he had finally gotten his revenge and could put her under his feet.

It was hard to tell whether she was so happy because she had won slightly, or because she was able to rescue Zhong Dingguo and Lin Rou.

She couldn't stop smiling, and with a malicious look on her face, she opened her bag and pulled out a document. "Why don't you take a look at this first, Ms. Ruan, and then give me your answer?"

She stared at Ruan Xingchen intently, placed the document on the table and pushed it over, sneering, "Ms. Ruan, you're always so righteous, I thought you were so upright! Now it seems your methods aren't much better."

"If you want to maintain your reputation and keep your position as Mrs. Huo, it depends on whether I agree or not."

She seemed to think that the document in her hand was enough to force Ruan Xingchen to bow her head, and she spoke without any politeness: "Ms. Ruan, please handle the matter to my satisfaction, then I will consider not exposing these things."

She stared at the person opposite her, trying to see panic, despair and helplessness on her face.

However, she was destined to be disappointed.

Ruan Xingchen raised his hand to take the document, opened it and read it carefully.

From beginning to end, she maintained a calm and composed expression, as calm as a still pond, as if none of her trump cards could cause her the slightest ripple.
