Wen Ruan looked at the phone that had been hung up and three black lines flashed across his forehead.
The receptionist looked at her with even more disdain.
Her eyes seemed to be saying,”We’ve seen too many women like you who play tricks to get close to President Huo!”
Wen Ruan’s scalp went numb. She took a few steps forward and called Zuo Yi again.
It didn’t ring for long before the call connected.
Zuo Yi’s voice was heard.” Miss Wen?”
“Assistant Zuo, I’m in the lobby of your company. Where’s Young Master Huo?”
“Young Master Huo is in a meeting. Wait a moment. I’ll come down to pick you up right away.”
“Alright.”
The receptionist saw that Wen Ruan was acting sneaky and was even more certain that she was not up to something.
“Miss, if you don’t have an appointment, please leave immediately!”
Wen Ruan waved her phone.” I called Assistant Zuo.”
The receptionist smiled insincerely.” Assistant Zuo is President Huo’s special assistant. If you have his phone number, you wouldn’t be unable to make an appointment!”
Wen Ruan furrowed her eyebrows.” Is this how you treat your guests?””
“Miss, I’m sorry. There are many women like you who are trying to get close to President Huo every day. President Huo has ordered that if a woman has no ulterior motives, we at the front desk have the right to chase her away!”
Initially, Wen Ruan was unhappy with the attitude of the receptionist. However, after hearing their words, she felt a little better.
Huo Hannian’s attitude toward women outside was still quite strong and cold. This way, he could indeed block many peach blossoms.
Seeing that Wen Ruan wasn’t annoyed and was even smiling, the receptionist’s eyes revealed a trace of suspicion.
Although he felt that Wen Ruanxin was indeed worthy, this girl was really beautiful. She was beautiful and beautiful. When she smiled, she was extremely sweet, making people’s hearts melt.
“Miss, you know what’s good for you, leave automatically, or I’ll call security-”
Wen Ruan was too good-looking, so the receptionist could not be rude to her and could only patiently persuade her.
Wen Ruan didn’t say anything else. After a while, she saw Zuo Yi coming out of the elevator and waved at him.
Zuo Yi strode towards Wen Ruan.
Seeing the two of them greeting each other, the receptionist was dumbfounded.” You really know Assistant Zuo?”
Wen Ruan blinked her eyes playfully.” I’m still very close to your President Huo!”
Zuo Yi knew that Wen Ruan and Huo Hannian had been in a cold war recently. The worst thing was that his subordinates had to face a portable refrigerator every day.
Now that Wen Ruan was willing to take the initiative to look for Huo Hannian, Zuo Yi naturally wouldn’t let her leave.
Assistant Zuo, who had always been expressionless, revealed a rare smile. He led Wen Ruan into the elevator. Before entering, he said to the receptionist who followed him to press the elevator button,” In the future, when you see her, don’t register or ask. Just let her through.””
The receptionist was dumbfounded. Was this VIP treatment?
The elevator stopped at the 88th floor.
The moment he stepped out, he saw a spacious and bright corridor.
There was a row of green plants in the corridor. A glass door was pushed open and a clean and tidy office building was inside.
Zuo Yi brought Wen Ruan to the President’s office. Beside it was the President’s office. The uniformed secretary and assistant were busy working in an orderly manner.
When they saw Wen Ruan passing by the door, they glanced at her.
“Miss Wen, Young Master Huo is in a meeting. Take a seat in the office for a while.”
Wen Ruan nodded.” Alright, Assistant Zuo, you can go and do your work!”
It was Wen Ruan’s first time in Huo Hannian’s office. She placed her hands behind her back and looked around curiously.
The windows were bright and clean, and the atmosphere was luxurious. There was a hint of solemnity in the cold.
Just like other people, he wasn’t the gaudy type.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
A female secretary came in with a cup of coffee.
Wen Ruan nodded at the female secretary and smiled.” Thank you.””
After the female secretary left, she whispered in the president’s office,” Ahhh, she’s really beautiful. She’s like a little fairy. Especially when she smiles at me, I feel like my heart is about to jump out!”
“Someone who can make Assistant Zuo so enthusiastic must have a close relationship with Young Master Huo. Do you think she might be the future wife of the CEO?”
“I think it’s possible. She looks about the same age as Young Master Huo, and her looks are also super heaven-defying!”
Wen Ruan didn’t know what was going on in the president’s office. After looking around Huo Hannian’s office, she sat down on the luxurious leather chair.
He placed his hands on the desk and shook his head slightly.
Other than a computer, a phone, and a few files, there was not even a small plant on this person’s desk.
It was clean and cold, without any sense of humanity.
Wen Ruan found a piece of white paper, picked up a pen, and simply sketched out a cartoon version of Huo Hannian.
Wen Ruan did not know how long he was going to be in the meeting. After sitting on his leather chair for a while, she was afraid that someone would come in and see her, so she obediently sat on the leather sofa.
The office was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
About an hour later, Wen Ruan leaned back on the sofa. Just as her eyelids were about to close, the sound of steady footsteps could be heard at the door.
Wen Ruan opened his eyes immediately and pricked up his ears to listen for any movements outside.
Huo Hannian said a few words to Zuo Yi and pushed open the office door.
Wen Ruan sat with her back facing the door, her two fair hands resting on her knees, a standard ladylike sitting posture.
Huo Hannian pushed the door open and saw Wen Ruan sitting upright on the sofa.
He only glanced at her once before looking away and striding towards his desk.
Wen Ruan heard the sound of him moving his chair and looked up at him.
He had a cold and fierce aura that had yet to be restrained after coming out of the conference room. His handsome face was calm and his tall body was wrapped in a black shirt. He sat on the leather chair and looked down at the document in his hand without moving his eyebrows.
Completely ignored.
Wen Ruan looked at his tense and sharp jaw and could not help but feel a little defeated.
She was sitting here, and he pretended not to see her?
Seeing that he was writing something with a fountain pen, Wen Ruan did not go forward immediately, afraid that she would disturb him.
After about ten minutes, Wen Ruan saw that he had no intention of stopping writing. She could not stand the deathly silence anymore. She bit her lip and stood up from the sofa.
She tidied her clothes and slowly walked to her desk.
She lowered her head and glanced at his desk.
He almost burst out laughing.
“Ahem, President Huo, your documents seem to be upside down.”
He wrote a line of words on the document. Wen Ruan did not recognize what he wrote.
However, the document was indeed upside down.
Upon hearing Wen Ruan’s words, Huo Hannian slammed the folder shut.
His dark eyes swept over her like sharp arrows.” What’s the matter?”
Seeing his cold attitude, Wen Ruan was both angry and amused.
She walked along the office and slowly walked to him. Her slender body leaned on the desk and her clear and bright deer eyes looked at him.” Can’t I come to you for nothing?”
The man snorted coldly and did not look at her.
Wen Ruan inched closer to him and tugged at his sleeve with her fair hands.”Are you still angry?” It was indeed my fault for chasing you out of the car that night and neglecting you recently.”
Huo Hannian pulled back his sleeve and leaned back against the leather chair. As he leaned back, the exquisite fabric clung to his body, outlining his broad shoulders and chest. He was cold and noble, but there was also a sense of ascetic sexiness.
Wen Ruan blinked at him, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. Under her delicate nose, her pink lips pouted slightly, with an obvious intention to please him.
Huo Hannian’s eyes darkened as he looked at her, and he became increasingly frustrated.” Why are you looking for me?”
“Can’t you tell? I’m here to coax you.”Her voice softened a little. Her voice was already crisp and sweet, but after it softened, it sounded like a soft voice. His Adam’s apple moved up and down a little.
His eyes were as cold as black iron, and his well-defined handsome face was sharp and cold, looking very unreasonable.” I thought you had forgotten me.”
Wen Ruan’s heart was pounding.
An angry man was not easy to coax!
She felt her scalp go numb from his stare and almost wanted to escape in a panic in the next second.
The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds before Wen Ruan retracted her gaze.” I’ve apologized and coaxed you. If you’re still not appeased, then let’s continue being cold!”
She stood up and prepared to leave.
Huo Hannian’s face darkened even more.
“You can be so patient with Qiao Ran, but you’re not even willing to be patient with me for a few more minutes now?”
Seeing that Huo Hannian was about to get angry, Qiao Ran leaned back on the table and smiled coquettishly.” Look, I’m leaving, and you’re nervous again. I’m here, and you’re not talking to me properly.”
Huo Hannian snorted coldly. Other than coldness in his eyes, there was also tsundere.
Wen Ruan was amused by his awkward look. Her slender and fair hands cupped his handsome and sexy face, and her delicate face suddenly leaned towards him.
Their gazes met at a close distance.
Both of their breaths became heavier.
Huo Hannian’s gaze darkened as he looked at her. His voice was low and hoarse.” Let go!”
Not only did Wen Ruan not let go, but she hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him.
The moment their lips touched, both of them were stunned.
Huo Hannian clenched his fists. He wanted to push her away several times, but he could only clench his fists tightly.
She rarely took the initiative to kiss him. He wanted to see how far she could go.
He looked at her with his narrow black eyes, like two whirlpools that wanted to suck her in.
Wen Ruan’s heart was beating very fast. Although she had taken the initiative in high school, she had never kissed him.
A thin layer of redness had already appeared on her face. Between her breaths, she could smell the fresh and pleasant masculine scent on his body. Her hands around his neck tightened, and she looked at him with watery eyes.” Again?””
He didn’t say anything, so she took it that he acquiesced.
Her lips pressed against his once again. In order to coax him, she became even more passionate.
Huo Hannian didn’t expect that there would be such benefits after the cold war. His mind was in a mess. By the time he reacted, she had already left his lips.
She snorted and complained,” Why are you like a block of wood?”
