Bring your bestie to play melon in the domineering love story

"Are you guys done yet?" Jiang Ruoli stared at the shrew-like Li Wenhui in front of her, frowning, "I'm not a saint, why should I help her? Why should I give her a way out? She's not related to me."

"She is your sister, shouldn't you consider her?"

"You still want me to consider her? I haven't seen many people who consider me. You are so shameless to say that."

Jiang Ruoli frowned and looked at them. She even doubted whether she was the daughter of the Jiang family. How could she have such a mentally retarded mother? No, how could she have such mentally retarded family members? Her whole family was like this.

"I'm sorry, A-Li." Bai Jing covered her arm and stood up, and began to apologize in a hoarse voice, "I was too impulsive just now, but I didn't mean any other things. I just hope you can come forward to help me. I promise that I won't cause you any trouble again in the future."

"You mean if I don't help you, you'll still cause trouble for me?"

"...No, that's not what I meant."

"That's enough!" Bai Jing wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Jiang Ruoli. "You've caused your own trouble, so find a way to solve it yourself. I have no obligation to help you. Also... I recorded the conversation just now. You're still a human being, right? If you don't want to be embarrassed, that's fine. I don't mind making the recording public so that netizens can teach you a lesson. You're welcome!"

"That's right! Ah Li, don't waste your words on them." Tang Jiujiu pointed at Bai Jing, who was stunned by the scolding, and Jiang's mother, whose face was ashen. "She has no brains, but she still needs you to whitewash her. She really thinks we are all fools."

at this point.

Bai Jing had nothing to say.

I've said nice things and used threats, but Jiang Ruoli is unmoved. I'm afraid if she continues to make trouble, she will not only lose face, but also the reputation of the Jiang family.

Finally, she smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Okay, Jiang Ruoli, you're so cruel!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Jiang's mother hurriedly followed, carrying her bag.

The crowd dispersed and the surroundings became quiet.

Tang Jiujiu looked at Jiang Ruoli who was still irritable.

You know what, best friends are best friends, and they can render the other speechless with just one sentence. But Bai Jing is really stubborn. She knows that she won't get any good words from Jiang Ruoli, but she still goes head-to-head with her. She is simply asking for humiliation.

"Let's stop shopping and go home."

Jiang Ruoli lost her mood and simply asked the driver to take them home.

......

Nine p.m.

After dinner, Jiang Ruoli curled up on the sofa and watched short videos.

With a "click", the door opened and Huo Xingzhou stepped in. He lowered his eyes, took off his watch and placed it on the table, then loosened his tie with one hand and walked towards her.

"Are you still awake?" he asked.

Jiang Ruoli turned around and was stunned.

what's the situation?

Are you back so early?

Qin Wen also said that there was something going on at the company and he would probably be busy until the early morning.

No!

If he doesn't work overtime at the company, doesn't that mean she will have to work overtime?

Huo Xingzhou had no idea what she was thinking. He walked a few steps in front of her. The veins on his hand that was tugging at his tie were bulging, and the veins disappeared into the cuffs of his black shirt, making him look inexplicably dangerous. He asked, "Are you waiting for me?"

of course not.

Jiang Ruoli smiled and said hypocritically, "Yeah."

He leaned over, and she subconsciously backed away until she retreated to the corner of the sofa, her smile forced. "What...what do you want to do?"

"A-Li!" Huo Xingzhou leaned on the back of the sofa with one hand. Seeing her defensive expression, a glint flashed across his deep eyes. "What are you waiting for me to do?"

The tie was untied and held in his hand, like some kind of handy tool. Jiang Ruoli's eyes fell on his open collar, where there were still traces of her left last night, faint and ambiguous.

She swallowed.

No more.

I really can't work overtime today.

If she works overtime any longer, her old waist will break.

Huo Xingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled wickedly, leaned over and kissed her lightly on the corner of her mouth, "Wait a moment, I'm going to take a shower first."

Jiang Ruoli: “….”

Soon, the sound of water splashing was heard in the bathroom.

Jiang Ruoli stood up, picked up her coat and prepared to run away. As she walked out of the room, she remembered that her cell phone was left on the bedside table. She hurried back and turned around, bumping into Huo Xingzhou who was coming out of the bathroom.

The man's hair was blown clean, and his short, messy hair hung in front of his forehead. His original cold and unapproachable look had dissipated a lot. Even though Jiang Ruoli had seen him several times, her heart still started pounding when she saw him like this.

"Hmm?" A man's voice sounded faintly, "Where are you going?"

Jiang Ruoli raised her eyes and smiled awkwardly, "I'm too full from dinner, I want to go for a walk downstairs."

"Going for a walk so late?"

Huo Xingzhou moved closer to her as he spoke, so close that Jiang Ruoli could see his lips so close. Her long eyelashes flickered slightly, and her fingers tightly grasped the corner of her clothes. "Well... take a... walk."

"Then I will accompany you."

"No... no need." Jiang Ruoli pretended not to see his eyes and took a step back. "It seems to be raining outside. It's not suitable for a walk. Maybe next time."

Huo Xingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at her trembling eyelashes. "Then go wash up and get some rest."

"it is good."

When Jiang Ruoli came out after washing up, Huo Xingzhou was already lying on the bed reading a book. Seeing her, he lifted the quilt on the right side and said, "Come up."

Seeing her hesitation, he added, "I won't touch you tonight."

When men say this, just listen to it and don't take it seriously.

Jiang Ruoli saw this on the Internet. After she became Mrs. Huo, she agreed with this statement very much.

She walked over, lay down in the quilt, and looked at Huo Xingzhou sideways. This was the first time he didn't work before going to bed. He was wearing a pair of glasses and looked gentle and refined, completely different from how he looked when he was angry in bed.

Huo Xingzhou noticed her gaze and his eyes moved from the book to her clear eyes.

The sudden eye contact made Jiang Ruoli feel as embarrassed as if she had been caught. She blushed, covered herself with the quilt, and said in a muffled voice, "I won't disturb you, you continue reading."

"come over."

Huo Xingzhou stretched out his right arm and motioned her to come over.

Jiang Ruoli poked her head out from under the quilt and looked at the man's cold profile. She felt like she was approaching not an arm, but a poisonous snake's nest.

If you are not careful, it will be eaten up completely.

"don't want?"

Whether to do it or not, she could make the choice without much thought. Jiang Ruoli pursed her lips, slowly moved to his side and lay down.

Huo Xingzhou put down the book and turned off the light. The sound of his breathing could be heard from the other side. In the darkness, his cold voice seemed to be right next to her ear. "Do you need me to help?"

"What?" Jiang Ruoli's voice was muffled, with half of her face covered by the quilt.

Huo Xingzhou lay on his back, speaking casually, "I heard Bai Jing came looking for you again? If she continues to pester you, I'll find a way to make her leave the capital and never come back."

Good guy.

Big guys are big guys.

Such cruel means.

Jiang Ruoli's only thought at this moment was whether Huo Xingzhou would send Bai Jing to Africa to mine.

Isn’t this a classic trope in domineering CEO novels?
