"What do you mean?"

Ruan Mian felt her heart pounding, a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

"Of course that means literally."

I picked up the last piece of crispy potato and put it in my mouth, feeling a little unsatisfied.

So all the food made from plants used to be this delicious?!

"I came here for you."

Ruan Mian's eyes widened in shock at his words. How did the situation become so complicated?

And what's with that look in his eyes?

It's really not an innocent case at all!

With her brows furrowed and her expression wary, she asked, "What...what do you mean?"

Huo Junze's gaze fell on the rice bowl in front of him. The overflowing white rice had already been eaten more than halfway, but it was still hot, emitting wisps of white steam.

Interspersed among them are bright orange sweet potatoes, which are sweet, soft, and tender.

This was a large bowl that Ruan Mian specially ladled for him; there was no way around it, he had given him too much.

However, she now had a better idea of ​​his purpose in coming.

My only thought was, 'It's over, he won't...'

Thinking this way, I frantically racked my brains for ways to escape. If all else failed, I would have to detonate it!

"Formal introduction."

After saying that, he sent his information to her personal computer.

With a ding, Ruan Mian looked at her wrist. The information he provided was very comprehensive, including her height, weight, and measurements.

???

What the hell are these?

Why show her this? Is it for a blind date?

However, the information that followed was more normal...

What a normal ghost!

A graduate of Interstellar University, one of the developers of optical brain functionality, the current CEO of the Huo Group, and the honorary president of the Interstellar Federation Chamber of Commerce...

Then there's a whole bunch of rambling, you'd think it was an autobiography if you didn't know better!

Ruan Mian was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He didn't know the significance of the other things, but he only saw one: he was the president of the Huo Group, and the computer software was developed, maintained, and operated by their company.

So, she's now working for him?!

This is still her boss!

"you you you!!!"

"I apologize for coming to you so abruptly, but it is indeed because of the food you make, whether in terms of taste, value, or ingredients."

He really did find out his biggest secret!

Ruan Mian had only two words in her mind.

‘It’s over! ’

Huo Junze saw panic and wariness on her face, and sensed her fear, so he quickly spoke up to explain.

"I did not mean anything else."

Before he could finish speaking, the people around him had already gotten up and were preparing to escape.

The next second, Ruan Mian, who wanted to escape, felt a warm touch completely encircle her wrist.

"What are you doing! Let me go!"

She tried desperately to break free from his grasp, but the man was incredibly strong, and she couldn't budge him at all.

"you listen to me."

"I don't listen! I don't listen!"

and many more!

This conversation seems a little familiar...

In the instant her thoughts were pulled away, a sudden force on her wrist caused her to lose her balance.

"what--"

With a gasp, her body fell towards the direction of the force.

I landed gently in a warm embrace, a faint fragrance filling my nostrils, like the fresh, translucent green pine needles and the crisp, slightly bitter hazelnuts being crushed together, filling the deep forest with morning dew.

It has a clean, slightly bitter woody scent.

The scent inexplicably made her cheeks flush slightly.

"you you……"

When I tilted my head back, my gaze suddenly fell on his neck, on the prominent Adam's apple.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and my gaze followed his defined jawline downwards, revealing glimpses of his pale collarbone beneath his slightly open collar.

Why do I feel inexplicably sexy...?

A warm breath brushed against my ear, and a clear, deep voice kissed my ear, sending a rush of blood to my head.

"Now, can you listen to me?"

Just tell me, okay?! She'll listen!

He thought this arrogantly to himself, but nodded nervously on the surface.

“I know your food is made from plants. I came to find you not to do anything to you, otherwise I wouldn’t have come alone.”

That seems to be the case.

“I think you need an ally.” After a pause, Huo Junze’s tone was incredibly confident. “I think no one is more suitable than me.”

With his strong capabilities and powerful background, he is indeed a very good partner.

Ruan Mian just didn't believe in the idea of ​​a free lunch.

What do you want?

He enjoys talking to intelligent people.

"I can help you solve the difficulties you encounter. For example, the food boxes you need, and even promotional planning, design, and packaging, we can provide a one-stop service. All you need to do is guarantee that your products will be sold exclusively under our brand, and nowhere else!"

"You want a buyout?"

"No, it's an investment. You can continue at your own pace. We won't interfere with you except to help you."

Thinking about it this way, it feels pretty good; it seems like I didn't lose out.

Ruan Mian raised an eyebrow, her light-colored pupils clear and bright, revealing a cleverness.

Like a fine gemstone, it has been washed by water and is now crystal clear.

It makes people momentarily lose their focus.

"Then what do you want?"

It's better to be upfront about the unpleasant things and to clearly define the interests, but Huo Junze didn't notice what she was saying.

His gaze fell on a strand of hair that fell across her forehead.

Perhaps it's an obsessive-compulsive disorder flare-up.

No matter how I look at it, it just doesn't look right to me.

His fingers reached out first, brushing aside a stray strand of hair and tucking it behind her ear.

Both of them were stunned.

The fingertip brushed against the skin of the earlobe, leaving a warm sensation, and I felt completely uneasy.

"I……"

Huo Junze was stunned, not knowing why he had acted so impulsively.

This obsessive-compulsive disorder really needs to be treated.

"Sorry, your hair is falling out."

When Ruan Mian met his eyes, which were as black as ink, her heart couldn't help but tremble.

In such a lucid state, this action was indeed a bit too ambiguous.

But his eyes were so pure, without a trace of lust.

It was really like I couldn't stand it anymore and just did it on a whim.

Her flame was extinguished before it could even rise.

I wanted to say something, but then I realized that their posture was even more ambiguous.

She was still sitting on his lap, one of her hands still tightly held in his.

Suddenly, as if a needle were pricking my butt, I stood up abruptly.

"I... I'll sit here and talk to you."

Huo Junze thought that if he had the control panel, he would definitely take it apart right now to see which wire was connected incorrectly.

How could someone be so oblivious?

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

If the employees of the Huo Group saw this, their jaws would drop in astonishment. Even Secretary Mo had never seen her boss make so many mistakes and apologize so frequently.

We should probably check if a star exploded, causing its magnetic field to affect the boss.

"Pfft-"

Ruan Mian couldn't help but laugh out loud, and even had the mood to tease him, "It seems like you've been apologizing the whole time! Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I was just too scared, it's not your fault."

For some reason, Huo Junze was also infected by her smile and his lips curled up.

"So, you're not afraid anymore?"
