The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Huo Qiye used his right index finger with ill intentions to easily peel off Xia Zhi's silk panties.

It is in the shape of a parabola and is thrown away in a cool way.

"Ah~hateful."

what!

Huo Qiye sneered.

"Is this annoying? Well, I have things that are even more annoying.

I heard from Mingxing that this place of yours has not been developed by anyone?

What a pity…

It seems that Jiashan doesn't really know how to enjoy life. Why don't I help you? Hmm?

The man unbuttoned his trousers in a bohemian manner, before Xia Zhi could fully react to the meaning of his words.

He tore the fragile fabric of her nightgown apart with great force.

"what!!"

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, it resounded throughout the master bedroom.

A shameful secret tryst officially begins.

Huo Le, who was guarding the door, turned a deaf ear to the sounds of men and women making love coming from inside the house.

He only had another bodyguard dressed neatly in black to perform the duty of guarding the door.

……

8:30 am.

After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Huo Yiyan entered the living room on the 8th floor and saw a wine table with both retro and modern styles.

Qu Anyan, dressed in a light grey plaid home suit, was alone, tapping diligently on the keyboard of a work laptop in front of him.

From time to time, he would pick up the glass crystal glass at hand and drink some sweet and refreshing fruity vodka with ice cubes.

The woman put her arms around her waist and walked over gracefully.

"Now that I have some time to spare, why don't I take advantage of it and get some sleep?"

Qu Anyan turned around and saw that the person coming was the beautiful Huo Yiyan, and smiled at her politely.

"I'm not sleepy. I used to stay up late with Shi Yang, Yan Er and the others, so I'm used to it.

I happened to have some free time, so I dealt with some business emails from the South City branch."

As Qu Anyan spoke, he pulled over an elegant high stool in a very gentlemanly manner and asked Huo Yiyan to sit down.

"Give me a whiskey with lemon."

I heard Huo Yiyan say this to the bartender who was in charge of mixing cocktails at the bar.

Qu Anyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"It seems that Miss Huo has a good alcohol tolerance? Whiskey is generally a strong liquor that is more in line with men's taste buds.

Or, are you worried about something and need to get drunk to relieve it?

Huo Yiyan smiled calmly.

"Master Qu, do you really like to guess what women are thinking? Then you must be quite promiscuous, right?"

Qu Anyan nodded without commenting.

“You can understand it that way.

After all, in the past, I was the one who helped drive away most of the women who had harassed Shi Yang.

If you can't guess what a woman is thinking, where should you start?

Among so many people, there must be a few who meet my aesthetic standards, right?

Food, sex, and love are the greatest desires of human beings. I have slept with one or two of them. Isn't that normal?"

Huo Yiyan also nodded and gave him a thumbs up of praise.

"Yes, I admire honest men.

You are indeed Shi Rong and Shi Yang's right-hand man. You speak and act just like them, straightforward and direct."

Qu Anyan was praised by others for his habit of remaining calm in the face of praise or criticism.

"It's my honor to be praised by Miss Huo."

He took his drink, clinked glasses with hers, and drank a toast. Then Qu Anyan went back to his work.

"As far as I know, Master Qu only has a handful of days off from work to rest in the 365 days of the year.

In fact, he never works more than 5 days a year, just like a ruthless workaholic.

Aren't you tired of working so hard for the times?"

Qu Anyan thought about it.

“How should we correctly interpret the two terms, tired and not tired, and what is their meaning?

If I can enjoy the beauty while working hard, then what is the point of working hard?

If you can't, recalling the beauty's care and smile can also be a worry reliever to relieve fatigue.

Didn't Chu Lu and the others tell you this?"

Oh ~

Huo Yiyan understood.

"Do you like Shi Rong?"

Qu Anyan glanced sideways and gave her a look that showed he understood everything.

The correct statement is:

There is no man in this world who can remain calm in the face of Shi Ying's charm.

As a successful person who lives by the rules, I am no different.”

Huo Yiyan put down her empty glass, and the bartender quickly and understandingly handed her a new one.

"Oh? Then why don't you chase after her?"

Qu Anyan curled his thin lips with smooth lines.

"I can't beat Shi Yang."

"Hahaha!"

Huo Yiyan was amused by his honest words and burst out laughing.

"But Chu Yu and the others couldn't defeat Shi Yang either. Didn't he still bravely advance?"

Qu Anyan was speechless.

"Ms. Huo, what do you think of the Qu family's current influence in East City?

Can it be compared with the Chu, Xing, and Song dynasties? I don't think so.

So if I were you, I wouldn't give up on Chu Lu easily.

Maybe you don’t like to hear what I say, and you hate others meddling in your affairs.

But the facts are before us. It is obvious that the marriage between the Huo and Chu families can greatly improve not only the progress of the Huo family's network scientific research development.

There will also be a steady flow of assets into the Huo family’s second branch in the future.

I guess this is also the reason why your grandfather always insisted on letting you two be together?

People cannot live for the interests of their family forever, but let's take a step back and ask yourself, do you really not like Chu Lu?

I don’t think so either.”

Oh shit!

He was straightforward, and Huo Yiyan wasn't disappointed at all...

The woman was so angry that she cursed in her heart, but she had to admit that Qu Anyan was right.

"You are quite capable. No wonder the old man of the Ying family chose you to be Shi Rong and Shi Yang's deputy in the beginning.

But some things are in the past, and you can’t go back or start over.”

"Have you ever tried it?"

Qu Anyan stopped typing on the keyboard and replying to the email, looking meaningfully at Huo Yiyan beside him.

“For some things, if you haven’t even tried them, how can you be sure that there will be no results?

Don't forget that life is short, and Miss Huo deserves the privilege of enjoying life while it lasts."

Huo Yiyan held up her pretty face with one hand, looking back at Qu Anyan who was nearby, confused.

"Sometimes I'm really curious about men like you who are so smart and can see through everything.

What kind of woman would you fall in love with?"

Qu Anyan laughed again and had no intention of hiding it.

"Intelligent, gentle, considerate, and reasonable.

The appearance does not need to be outstanding, but it must be pleasing to the eye; the figure does not need to be perfect, but it must be plump.

It would be even better if you could possess all of the above characteristics while also being talented and capable.

Naturally, this is also the reason why Shi Chang is so popular.”

Huo Yiyan understood.

Then she raised her hand and pointed at herself.

"Can't I?"

Qu Anyan was speechless again.

"It's not that you are incapable, but that you lack the quality of humility.

In other words, you are too arrogant.

Men may be interested in such women, but they will not stay with them for long.

I am not saying this to make you learn to be servile.

Being neither arrogant nor boastful, knowing when to advance and when to retreat, and mastering the right degree of freedom and unrestrainedness is an irreplaceable way of flirting for men.
