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

Huo Jingmo smiled wryly: "Okay."

Huo Jingmo despised himself in his heart, thinking he had no backbone.

Huo Jingmo said to Ruan Qian'an in a sullen voice, with a hint of coquettishness in his voice, "Stop humiliating me."

Ruan Qian'an stroked Huo Jingmo's head, as if to comfort him and also to joke, and said, "Mr. Huo, are you so insecure? I remember you used to be very fierce, and you wouldn't even let me get close."

Huo Jingmo said in a defiant manner, "I don't let you get too close because I can't help but feel my heart flutter when you're too close to me."

Ruan Qian'an blinked, a sweet feeling filling her heart: "I didn't know that President Huo liked me so much. You hid it so well. If we hadn't been kidnapped this time, how long would you have kept it from me?"

Huo Jingmo said seriously, "For a lifetime, anyway, I know you could never like me."

Ruan Qian'an laughed and said, "How do you know I don't like you? I said I would marry you when I was a child."

Huo Jingmo asked in surprise, "You still remember?"

Ruan Qian'an nodded earnestly: "How could I possibly forget something so important, Mr. Huo?"

As she spoke, Ruan Qian'an's hands began to wander again, before she could do anything to Huo Jingmo.

A man rushed in: "Old..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ruan Qian'an stopped him with a look.

However, Chi Xiao was not frightened by the look in the eyes, but by the scene itself.

Upon witnessing this scene, Chi Xiao nearly choked on his own saliva. He had never seen his boss so intimate with anyone before, not even Mr. Chen.

All she could see was her boss kneeling between Huo Jingmo's legs. One of Huo Jingmo's legs was dangling numbly off the bed, while the other leg was bent and pressed down by her boss. She herself was pressed tightly against Huo Jingmo.

The affection on Ruan Qian'an's face had not completely faded, only her displeasure at being disturbed remained.

Ruan Qian'an had already given them instructions before Huo Jingmo woke up.

Chi Xiao abruptly changed the subject, sternly addressing Ruan Qian'an: "Old man, what are you doing here? Hurry up and come with me to do some work. If you don't behave, I'll kill him, believe it or not." Chi Xiao pointed at Huo Jingmo and viciously threatened him.

Hearing these dangerous words, Huo Jingmo's dark eyes flashed with a fierce light as he pulled Ruan Qian'an into his arms.

He said to Chixiao, "Do you want to die?"

The habits of those in positions of power, accumulated over many years, actually made Chi Xiao tremble.

With the same imposing presence as the boss, he's truly an extraordinary person, Chi Xiao thought to himself.

"I...I...I...I..." He was about to utter a harsh word when he glanced at Ruan Qian'an, then decided not to do so.

Ruan Qian'an looked at him for a long time without uttering a word, so she said to Huo Jingmo, "I'll go first. They've already promised me that they'll let us go once this is done."

Huo Jingmo, his face contorted with humiliation, gritted his teeth and clung tightly to Ruan Qian'an's clothes.

Ruan Qian'an knew this was Huo Jingmo's pride acting up; he didn't want to be the one being protected. Amused, she said to Huo Jingmo, "Stay put, or else..."

Ruan Qian'an suddenly leaned close to Huo Jingmo and whispered a few words in his ear, looking at Huo Jingmo with a sly smile and a wicked expression.

Huo Jingmo blushed at his words, and with his well-defined knuckles, he pressed Ruan Qian'an's face and pushed her aside: "I won't stop you, go ahead."

Chi Xiao followed Ruan Qian'an out, and before leaving, he would steal glances at Huo Jingmo from time to time.

Huo Jingmo looked helplessly at his legs, which were now truly useless. He clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the bed. He had been suppressing his emotions to avoid frightening Ruan Qian'an.

After the person left, his emotions all came out at once.

Was this a blessing in disguise? He thought about the feeling of holding Ruan Qian'an just now; they had never been so intimate while sober.

Huo Jingmo forced a smile that was hard to decipher, and sighed. He was now completely at the mercy of others, and being on someone else's turf left him powerless.

Why are you doing this, Ruan Qian'an? Do you really think I'm a fool?

He leaned against the bed, staring at the ceiling, quietly thinking about something.

Ruan Qian'an walked out of Huo Jingmo's room and said irritably, "What's the matter?"

Chi Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Boss, that person has woken up and wants to see you."

Ruan Qian'an rolled her eyes, looking impatient: "If he wants to see me, I'll go, and then you actually come and call me."

Chi Xiao scratched his head, realizing he had interrupted his boss's good time, and hesitated before saying, "He kept asking to see you, and I was so annoyed that I had no choice but to come to you."

Ruan Qian'an clicked her tongue unhappily: "He had better tell me something interesting, or I'll definitely poke him again."

Chi Xiao shivered and said sarcastically, "Boss, you shouldn't be so violent, it'll give you pimples."

Ruan Qian'an said narcissistically, "Get lost, I'm naturally beautiful and don't get pimples."

Chi Xiao looked constipated: "Boss, has anyone ever told you that you're narcissistic?"

Ruan Qian'an patted Chi Xiao on the shoulder and said threateningly, "Has anyone ever told you you'd see a ghost tonight?"

Chi Xiao shook his head, almost shaking it like a rattle-drum: "No, I don't want to see ghosts. Let the person who wants to see you go see ghosts instead."

After saying that, he quickly disappeared from Ruan Qian'an's sight, afraid that he would really be sent to meet the ghost.

Ruan Qian'an patted the hand that had just touched Chi Xiao, not wanting this fool's intelligence to infect her.

She went to find the man, who was still in the prison cell where he had been killed or wounded.

A cup grazed Ruan Qian'an and hurled at her. Ruan Qian'an walked in slowly and said to the man, "Are you tired of living?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was clear enough to be heard in the small room.

The man took everything out of the room and vented his anger, turning a room that was originally sparsely furnished into a chaotic mess.

Ruan Qian'an was not a good-tempered person, and this person's repeated provocations pushed her patience to its limit.

Okay, she admits it. She was annoyed because her good time was interrupted.

Upon seeing Ruan Qian'an, the man calmed down. His earlier anger had subsided, and his wounds began to ache, even bleeding. He panted and said to Ruan Qian'an, "Let me out."

Ruan Qian'an was puzzled: "Then you shouldn't ask me, but that old man."

The man said, "The old man said I've handed it over to you to deal with."

With her eyelids drooping and looking like she was about to fall asleep, Ruan Qian'an said, "I've already dealt with you."

The man slammed his hand on the crooked table in front of him and said, "What are you pretending for? If you don't want to let me go, just say so. Stop with this charade. That old man already said you're the boss here, and everyone listens to you!"

Ruan Qian'an was startled. Upon hearing this, her lips twitched. This old man had actually schemed against her.

There are only two people who are considered her own here: Chi Xiao and Huo Jingmo. When did she become the boss here? This old man is ugly and causes a lot of trouble.

Ruan Qian'an said indifferently, "Heh, so what if I don't let you go?"

The man's expression was gloomy and ruthless, as if he had grasped Ruan Qian'an's weakness: "That old man also told me that a man named Huo Jingmo is very important to you."

Ruan Qian'an stopped laughing, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can let you go."

Then she smiled and said, "I can even take you to find your sweetheart."

A fierce light shone in the man's eyes: "Really!"

Ruan Qian'an nodded.

The man looked at him with disbelief: "Didn't you say your relationship with her was strained?"

Ruan Qian'an looked at Ruan Qingyu with a doting expression and said, "She's my sister, how could our relationship be bad?"

The man readily agreed: "Okay...then can I..." Anyway, he had no other choice, since the woman still attacked him even after hearing that he was the general's man.

Ruan Qian stopped him with one hand: "There are conditions for taking you to meet people."

The man quickly replied, "I can do anything you ask, anything you ask!"

Ruan Qian'an smiled and said, "I'll stay by Huo Jingmo's side and protect him."

Her smile carried a hint of malice, which the man clearly noticed.
