He has not yet reached the point where he cannot distinguish between gratitude and love.

At that time, if someone else came to him and was willing to marry him at that time, he might be grateful to the other person, but he would never choose to express his gratitude with his feelings.

It was precisely because the person who came to her side was her that she didn't even need to do much.

When you fall in love with someone, you will naturally become a better person for that person.

Ruan Weisi looked at him, suddenly clenched his fists, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

She could clearly see how Huo Yan's gaze changed from calm to gentle as an ocean when it fell on Ruan Xingchen.

She could also feel that the reason he said this was not because he was showing his loyalty to Ruan Xingchen, but because he felt so from the bottom of his heart.

But it was precisely because of this that she found it even more difficult to accept.

She doesn't understand.

Where did she lose?

It seemed that at this moment, no matter what she said or did, it would only bring humiliation to herself.

Huo Yan didn't look at her again. After he finished speaking, he turned his head again, took Ruan Xingchen's hand and said softly, "Madam, let's go!"

After a glance with his sparkling eyes, Ruan Xingchen nodded in response.

After only two steps, Ruan Zeming finally couldn't help himself and stood up suddenly and shouted: "Wait!"

Looking at Ruan Xingchen's back, his eyes were red, and he suppressed his heartache and said, "I promise you! I will draft an agreement now and give you 10% of Ruan's shares!"

This was like cutting flesh into his heart.

As the Nguyen Group has developed to this day, he has always concentrated most of the shares in his own hands, maintaining his position of having the final say in the Nguyen Group.

He only wanted to pass the company on to Ruan Jiaci and never thought of giving it to anyone else.

But now, Ruan Zeming clearly realized that if he refused to give in, no matter how many shares he owned, they would all be in vain in the end.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to face the reality that with his ability, he was no longer able to lead the Ruan family through this difficult time.

He knew more clearly that Ruan Xingchen's coming this time was already a pleasant surprise. The next time he wanted to negotiate with her face to face, he was afraid that he would not be able to deliver the shares to her even if he had them.

Seeing her about to leave, he finally got anxious.

He hurriedly said, "Don't we have to sign a contract? Find a lawyer and I'll sign it now! As long as you help the Ruan family out of trouble, I'll give you the shares!"

At the end of his speech, his voice was hoarse and it almost sounded like he was shouting.

At this moment, an inexplicable sense of tragedy and determination surged in his chest, and he stared at Ruan Xingchen with a desperate expression.

Then he saw her red lips curl up a little bit, without any satisfaction or joy of getting what she wanted on her face.

Instead, he covered his lips with one hand and burst out laughing.

"Oh, sorry. I just couldn't help it."

Ruan Xingchen chuckled softly. Even though her lips were covered, the eyes that were exposed had already curved into two crescents, making it easy for people to imagine her current expression.

It was probably as if he saw something funny or heard a funny joke, and he couldn't help but smile.

Ruan Zeming had a bad feeling in his heart.

Then, he heard Ruan Xingchen's sweet voice softly ringing in his ears: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ruan has missed the best opportunity."

"I've thought about it carefully, and no matter how I look at it, helping the Ruan family is not worth the cost."

She extended her index finger and placed it against her plump lips, saying with a distressed look, "A small company like Ruan's is fraught with trouble. Helping Ruan's would mean breaking up with Young Master Gu, right? Ruan's shares alone, even if all were given to me, wouldn't be worth it."

Using the cutest and most innocent tone, she said the most heartless words.

She chuckled softly, looked at Ruan Zeming and said word by word, "A little bit of profit doesn't seem to be worth my effort!"

Ruan Zeming's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He built the Ruan family from scratch together with Lin Changpei, and in his eyes, they were like his own children.

This was the pride and achievement of his life, but now it was devalued to nothing in her mouth. How could he accept this?

His face was ferocious and full of anger, but he couldn't vent it. He looked at Ruan Xingchen with cold eyes.

"I agreed just now because I didn't think it through."

Ruan Xingchen ignored his gaze and said with a light smile, "Mr. Ruan didn't seize the opportunity to agree just now, and now I don't want to get involved in this mess again. Sorry, I refuse."

As she spoke, she looked at the tall man beside her with a smile and deliberately asked, "Mr. Huo, do you think I did the right thing?"

"Madam, you have done a great job. Given your current status, it is not worth wasting your time on such a trivial matter."

Huo Yan responded calmly, grabbing her hand and turning his dark eyes sharply.

He glanced at Ruan Zeming with a sharp gaze and said calmly, "A mere 10% of the shares, and you still want to trouble my wife?"

He uttered a light "huh" with disdain, his contempt evident.
