On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Su Yan's words.

It can be said to be perfectly reasonable.

For a moment, Liu Ruyan was at a loss for words to refute this.

However, it's good that Su Yan has recovered; at least it can alleviate some of her guilt.

Moreover, the tragedy that happened in the hospital today was too horrifying.

The entire southern part of the city was in a state of panic, and it was truly fortunate that one could emerge from the hellish Central Hospital.

"Sister Ruyan."

You look so tired.

Su Yan's voice rang out again.

"How about I give you a shoulder massage?"

Before she finished speaking, a pair of hands had already gently rested on Liu Ruyan's shoulders.

boom.

Liu Ruyan froze.

He was jolted up from the chair as if he had been electrocuted, and then hurriedly took a step back.

They nearly knocked over the filing cabinet behind them.

"Need not."

She refused quickly.

Even he himself didn't feel panicked.

Su Yan's hand froze in mid-air.

Upon seeing her reaction, a shadow of gloom flashed across his eyes.

But a perfectly timed look of injury flashed across her face, making Liu Ruyan's heart tighten again.

Was my reaction too much?

Could it hurt Su Yan's younger brother?

"I'm sorry, Sister Ruyan, I was being presumptuous."

Su Yan withdrew his hand with a wry smile.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Seeing his feigned nonchalance, Liu Ruyan felt a mix of emotions.

We had to quickly change the subject.

"Xiaoyan, you just got discharged from the hospital, why aren't you resting at home?"

"I've come to see my father."

Su Yan smiled and walked straight towards the president's office.

"Is he inside?"

"Hey, you..."

Liu Ruyan tried to stop her.

Su Nantian is currently preoccupied with the city-wide manhunt for the Martial Saint's disciple, so he has no time to see him.

But she had just opened her mouth.

Su Yan had already pushed the door open and gone inside.

Liu Ruyan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and finally could only hang down helplessly.

Forget it.

Xiao Yan's younger brother is, after all, Chairman Su's own son, so it shouldn't be a problem.

……

In the blink of an eye.

Another half hour passed.

But during those half hour, Liu Ruyan became even more agitated.

I kept checking the time on my phone.

Why aren't you off work yet?

Tonight, she finally managed to get a chance from her husband.

She asked her husband to accompany her home for dinner.

At that time.

What should she say?

What else can be done to make Lu Chuan change his mind?

She couldn't help but think of Lu Chuan's cold and resolute face again, and what he had said to her last night.

"If you really want to win me back, then resign."

Resign……

Liu Ruyan stared blankly.

Unconsciously, I looked around.

I have worked hard for many years to get to where I am today.

Secretary to the president of the Martial Arts Association.

Can she really give up everything?

But if we don't give up...

How should she and Lu Chuan resolve their conflict?

She really, really loves Lu Chuan.

Seven years of relationship.

Lu Chuan had long become an inseparable part of her life.

but……

Do I really have to give up everything I have now for him?

Liu Ruyan's body trembled slightly.

I'm incredibly conflicted.

Just then.

The door to the president's office opened.

Upon hearing the sound, Liu Ruyan subconsciously looked up and saw Su Yan walking out with a beaming smile.

Eyes facing each other.

Liu Ruyan subconsciously looked away.

But Su Yan walked straight towards him, smiling as she spoke.

"Sister Ruyan, we'll be colleagues from now on."

"My dad told me to start working at the association's office tomorrow, but my position hasn't been decided yet."

this matter.

Liu Ruyan already knew.

She even personally delivered the transfer order to the hospital some time ago.

Therefore, a smile appeared on Liu Ruyan's face; she was genuinely happy for him.

"Congratulations, Xiaoyan."

"So, to celebrate my miraculous survival and, incidentally, to celebrate finding a new job."

Su Yan seized the opportunity to extend an invitation, his bright, sparkling peach blossom eyes fixed on her.

"Sister Ruyan, how about we have dinner together tonight?"

Liu Ruyan was slightly taken aback.

Lu Chuan's face flashed into her mind instantly, along with some promises she had made to him.

"No……"

"No."

Liu Ruyan immediately shook her head and said,

"That……"

"that……"

I have plans tonight.

Su Yan once again wore a hurt expression.

"Sister Ruyan, I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to celebrate."

"no……"

Liu Ruyan shook her head and quickly explained.

"Well, your brother-in-law and I made plans to go to my parents' house for dinner together."

"Brother-in-law?"

Su Yan's eyes flashed, and the smile on her face faded slightly.

But outwardly, she still showed concern and kept asking questions.

"So, Sister Ruyan, you two have made up?"

In a word.

It accurately hit Liu Ruyan's sore spot.

The last vestiges of color in her face vanished instantly, and her forced composure crumbled, leaving only an undisguised sense of loss and bitterness.

Make up?

It's easier said than done.

That was nothing more than a farewell dinner that she had begged for.

Su Yan, however, took in her expression and understood what was going on. His concern grew even more genuine.

"Sister Ruyan, don't be sad."

"Actually, I think my brother-in-law really went too far this time."

"What insurmountable obstacle is there between husband and wife that they have to make such a fuss?"

"It's not his fault, it was my mistake."

Liu Ruyan shook her head.

"You're just too kind."

Su Yan said helplessly,

"Alright, since you have plans, I won't bother you any longer."

"But Sister Ruyan, do you really hope to reconcile with your brother-in-law?"

Liu Ruyan raised her head, her eyes resolute.

"certainly."

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Su Yan sneered inwardly, but maintained a sincere expression on his face.

"Oh well."

"As your younger brother, I sincerely wish you all the best. Your happiness is my happiness."

That's so well said, it's like the aroma of tea is overflowing.

It not only demonstrated his magnanimity but also subtly expressed his deep affection that "I am willing to sacrifice myself for you."

Liu Ruyan was indeed moved to tears.

"Little Yan, thank you. It's so good to have you here."

"What are you saying?"

"Isn't the misunderstanding between you and your brother-in-law all because of me?"

"Sister Ruyan, I'll go back and rest for a while now. See you tomorrow."

Su Yan smiled and turned to leave.

However, Liu Ruyan did not see it.

The moment he turned around, all the gentle smiles on Su Yan's face vanished instantly.

Instead, there was a bone-chilling cold.

Lu Chuan?

Make up?

Ha ha.

……

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

The time has finally come.

get off work.

Liu Ruyan immediately began to pack her things quickly, preparing to leave work.

But then...

The door to the president's office suddenly opened.

Su Nantian stood at the door and said,

"Secretary Liu, go to the enforcement team right now."

"To the enforcement team?"

Liu Ruyan was stunned.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

"President, I'm off work now."

Su Nantian's face remained expressionless as he handed a photograph to Liu Ruyan, saying...

"Take this photo and go to the law enforcement team's database to compare it."

"This is the only way I can think of to find out his identity right now."
