[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

Mr. Li, who had come with Huo Jingmo, was immediately displeased and tried to push Ruan Qian'an aside.

Before Ruan Qian'an could even make a move, Yue You intercepted her and forcefully threw her aside.

Mr. Li was extremely embarrassed. His face contorted with rage as he pointed at Yue You and Ruan Qian'an and shouted, "Who are you! Who gave you permission to disturb us? Do you know who we are? Do you even want to stay in City A?!"

"You don't even know who we are, yet you dare to act so arrogantly in front of us!"

Mr. Li kicked the heavy table, and the wine bottle spilled onto the floor.

The kick was so hard that one of the bottles flew straight towards Huo Jingmo.

Ruan Qian'an raised her hand and knocked it down.

The wine bottle fell to the ground with a clattering sound.

The bartenders sitting to the side huddled together, trembling with fear and too scared to move.

Mr. Li shouted, "Call your manager over here! Do you even want to continue this business?"

"Believe it or not, I can shut you up with just one phone call!"

One of the beauties stood up, trembling, and looked at Ruan Qian'an and her group, then at Huo Jingmo and the others, saying, "I...I'll go find the manager." Her expression showed an eagerness to escape from here.

Mr. Li said, "Go! Bring him here!"

The beautiful woman trembled as she moved towards the outside, and seeing that no one stopped her, she quickly opened the door and went out.

The bartenders, seeing the door open, all stood up tremblingly: "We're going too!"

They all ran towards the door that wasn't closed properly.

Yueyou wiped the seat clean so that Ruan Qian'an could sit down.

Ruan Qian'an sat down next to Huo Jingmo and gently put her arm around him as if to assert her ownership.

Huo Jingmo glanced at Ruan Qian'an's hand on him, but only looked at it briefly before withdrawing his gaze without making any move to resist.

His body trembled slightly because of his deep-seated fear of Ruan Qian'an.

Yueyou and her entourage stood on either side of Ruan Qian'an, their gazes towards the person opposite them filled with a sense of oppression.

Ruan Qian'an leaned forward slightly, picked up the wine bottle that hadn't completely fallen, and poured it into the somewhat broken wine glass.

He pushed the wine glass towards Mr. Li and said in a calm tone, "Calm down."

His eyes clearly told him not to be ungrateful.

The man knocked over his wine glass on the table and pointed at the people around Ruan Qian'an, saying, "You brought people into my drinking party, and you think you can just calm down like that!"

Yueyou said coldly, "You don't know what's good for you."

Ruan Qian'an leaned back, watching the wine glass that had been knocked over splash everywhere.

He said lazily, "I won't pursue your rudeness for Huo Jingmo's sake."

"But you're saying you arranged this drinking party?"

Mr. Li said, "Do you even have the right to speak, you little wench?!"

President Li glanced at Huo Jingmo: "President Huo, your mistress is practically riding on your head, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"I don't think you're genuinely interested in cooperating!"

Huo Jingmo crossed his arms, turned his head to one side, and cursed himself inwardly as an idiot.

Yueyou stepped forward and punched the man: "I think you're asking for death."

The man was knocked to the ground on the table, which shattered, and he cried out in pain.

Huo Jingmo frowned: "That's enough."

"Who gave you permission to take action? Can you take responsibility if the cooperation falls through?"

Ruan Qian'an chuckled softly.

Yueyou glanced at Ruan Qian'an and asked her what she should do. Ruan Qian'an waved her hand, signaling her to step aside.

Ruan Qian'an said to Huo Jingmo, "You're very protective of outsiders."

Huo Jingmo snorted coldly.

The door to the private room opened, and a man entered with bodyguards, saying, "Who's so blind as to cause trouble here?"

The manager burst in, glanced up, and saw Yueyou; the words of insult he wanted to utter stuck in his throat.

The manager stammered as he addressed Yue You, "Boss... Boss."

He instantly switched to a fawning tone: "Boss, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"It's all a misunderstanding."

Mr. Li was dumbfounded by what he saw. Pointing at Yue You, he said, "How could she be the boss? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"How can a girl become a boss? Who would believe that?"

The manager nudged Mr. Li, frantically giving him meaningful glances; he didn't want any bloodshed here: "Shut up, why is your mouth so foul?"

Ruan Qian'an was already suppressing her anger, and this person was so blind that he kept running into her trap.

"You've stooped so low as to work with this kind of person?"

Huo Jingmo: "You're meddling a bit too much."

He glanced at Ruan Qian'an and said coldly, "Get out of here."

Ruan Qian'an gestured for them all to leave, and Yue You then led them all out.

Mr. Li was about to shout, "You think you can just leave like that?!"

But the manager covered his mouth and dragged him out.

The moment they stepped outside, Mr. Li and his entourage were detained, and even the people the manager brought became his helpers to assist Yue You.

Inside the private room

Ruan Qian'an deliberately made things difficult for Huo Jingmo and said, "Are you asking them to leave so that you can't say something to me?"

Huo Jingmo swayed and moved aside to distance himself from Ruan Qian'an: "Ruan Qian'an, you're so arrogant! Are you reminding me not to go too far? Are you trying to tell me you can ruin my company at any time?!"

Ruan Qian'an said, "That's right, you're absolutely right. I'm telling you, crushing you all is as easy as crushing ants for me."

"Do you think you can save their lives by telling them to get out?"

Huo Jingmo saw the repulsive-looking Ruan Qian'an and said, "I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

"I denied and refused to admit what you had done over and over again. I kept wondering if you had some kind of hardship, and even shamefully made excuses for you time and time again!"

I often wonder where that well-behaved and adorable little girl from before has gone.

"But...but you killed my mother and Chen Jue! And you keep trying to kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

You will pay the price!

Ruan Qian'an: "It seems you have a deep misunderstanding about me."

Huo Jingmo: "Yes! I misjudged you. I wish I had never met you! Then none of this would have happened!"

"I shouldn't have let you stay by my side! I shouldn't have let you get close to me! I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have!"

"I really regret it!"

Huo Jingmo glared at Ruan Qian'an with hatred. If looks could kill, he would have killed her a thousand times over.

When Ruan Qian'an heard the word "regret," her pupils suddenly contracted, and she pressed her hand to Huo Jingmo's lips: "You still haven't learned your lesson."

Do you want innocent people to die for you?

Ruan Qian'an's words plunged Huo Jingmo into an icy abyss. Huo Jingmo asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Ruan Qian'an: "You still don't understand me enough, Huo Jingmo."

Huo Jingmo grabbed Ruan Qian'an's hand, his voice trembling and hoarse, tinged with pleading, but he forced himself to say, "You wouldn't dare."

Ruan Qian'an was very satisfied with Huo Jingmo's current appearance. She touched Huo Jingmo's thigh, slid it to the back of his knee, and then lifted it up and naturally put it on her shoulder.

Ruan Qian'an tilted her cheek towards his leg: "Have you forgotten? You broke your leg before."

"I would be heartbroken if such beautiful legs were broken again."

Huo Jingmo pulled his leg back and kicked Ruan Qian'an in the shoulder.

Ruan Qian'an was kicked onto the table, and the impact hurt her badly.

Huo Jingmo gritted his teeth and said, "Ruan Qian'an, don't think that threatening me will make me afraid of you!"

Ruan Qian'an stood up with a smile and casually picked up a wine bottle and smashed it.

Huo Jingmo looked at Ruan Qian'an with a wary expression. Ruan Qian'an simply took his hand, placed the wine bottle in his hand, then gripped his hand and stabbed it hard into her left shoulder: "Look at you, you look like you want to kill someone."

Huo Jingmo looked at his hands in disbelief.

Looking at Ruan Qian'an's amused gaze, his eyes gradually became empty and powerless.

Then he used his strength hard, and the tears that welled up in his eyes were a testament to his unspeakable pain.

He yanked the bottle out, and blood splattered all over his face. Due to the inertia, Ruan Qian'an fell forward.

Huo Jingmo sidestepped Ruan Qian'an's falling body, ignoring the bloodstains beneath her: "Who are you putting on this for? You're not going to die."

Ruan Qian'an covered her wound and slowly said, "For those who are interested to see."

Huo Jingmo threw away the wine bottle and stepped on Ruan Qian'an's wound: "You don't think that hurting yourself will erase all grudges, do you?"

Ruan Qian'an was in pain, covered in cold sweat, and her face was extremely pale, but she smiled and held Huo Jingmo's ankle.
