Sighing silently, Huo Yan suddenly made a move and grabbed her hand.

With a slight force on his waist, he pressed her directly under him, raised his body slightly dangerously, and said in a low voice: "It seems that Madam doesn't want to go to the bidding meeting... In this case, why don't we continue what we were doing just now?"

This feeling of strong presence, what is this...?

Their bodies were pressed against each other under the thin blanket. Ruan Xingchen had no way of ignoring the man's reaction, and her pupils widened in an instant.

"Didn't we just end it? Why is Mr. Huo..."

She hesitated to speak, and she looked unwell.

Is this man a perpetual motion machine?

How long has it been since it ended? Ten minutes?

Is this still the Huo Yan whose ears would turn red if he got a little closer to her?

Ruan Xingchen pulled his hand back suddenly, as if he had received an electric shock. He didn't dare to make any more unnecessary movements. With a serious face, he shook his head desperately: "I, I have to go to the bidding meeting. It's getting late. I really can't do this again."

We really can't go on like this!

Otherwise, even if she had plenty of time, she wouldn't have the energy to walk to the bidding meeting.

Seeing her nervousness, Huo Yan couldn't help but sigh dotingly, lowering his head and kissing the top of her head: "Yes, my lady, I can never get enough of you."

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his impulse, he hugged her reluctantly and put some distance between them.

"Since Madam wants to go, get up early."

He stood up and put on his trousers neatly. He rubbed her head with his big hand and whispered gently and patiently, "I'll go make a cup of coffee for Madam. Let's eat something in advance, okay?"

This is a formal occasion and the bidding may not end until some time.

She had just expended a lot of energy and her stomach was indeed empty.

He nodded obediently.

By the time the two of them had packed up and arrived at the bidding site, the time was just right.

Ruan Xingchen got out of the car, took Huo Yan's arm, and had just stood still when he saw Wu Yue and Gu Zhao coming together.

Wu Yue's appearance is more sexy, and now she is wearing a red evening dress, which makes her look even hotter, like a beautiful woman in the world.

After all, Gu Zhao is the male protagonist of the book. He has outstanding looks and figure. His face is no longer gloomy as it was recently. Instead, he has a bit of complacency and determination. He looks more pleasing to the eye.

Wu Yue and Ruan Xingchen exchanged a knowing look and took the initiative to greet each other with a smile: "Ms. Ruan, Mr. Huo, long time no see."

"Miss Wu has become more beautiful recently."

Ruan Xingchen greeted her with a smile.

She wasn't being polite, she was being honest.

Wu Yue broke free from her confusion, her eyes clear and determined, the pride that came from her affluent background and her own excellence had completely returned.

She was filled with powerful and confident charm, and looked much more dazzling than before when her eyes only followed Gu Zhao.

Wu Yue obviously understood her subtext, and a slight smile appeared on her face as she whispered, "Maybe it's because people are in a good mood when they are happy!"

Her tone was suggestive, and she said lightly, "I can't keep being stupid forever."

Gu Zhao didn't take her words to heart.

Or perhaps, he actually didn't take Wu Yuetai seriously from the beginning to the end.

Hearing her say this, he just thought that the so-called good news was that he was about to win the project, and his face showed an even more complacent look.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Huo would come to this bidding meeting. Could it be that Mr. Huo is also interested in this project?"

He stared at Huo Yan with a wary look in his eyes, and said calmly, "The Huo family is a wealthy family, so are you trying to get a piece of the action too?"

Now, he always has an inexplicable wariness towards Huo Yan and his wife, to the point of a subtle fear that he himself is unwilling to admit.

It seemed as if his life, which was supposed to be smooth sailing and everything he wanted to achieve, would suffer a Waterloo whenever he met these two people.

He is invincible, but whenever he meets these two people, he always loses miserably.

What's more, he is now just the second young master of the Gu family, who does not have much power, while Huo Yan controls the huge Huo Empire.

If he really took action, would he be able to win?

Gu Zhao clenched his fists nervously, staring at Huo Yan intently, and for a moment his mouth felt dry.

He could only hope that Huo Yan didn't know the value hidden behind this project.

After all, it is just a project to build an overpass. Even if they cooperate with the higher-ups, it is just a small project for the Huo family and is not worth taking seriously.

Only a small number of people know that this project is actually related to another larger project, and that obtaining this project will enable them to reach preliminary cooperation with the larger project.

As long as this project is completed successfully, there will naturally be a brighter future.

Perhaps there is no way to surpass Huo Yan's achievements in a short period of time, but at least he can be tied to the higher-ups and get priority in various policies.

Gu Zhao was determined to win this project, so he did everything he could to get the information he wanted from Wu Yue.
