Yu Xiang was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a blue dress and a thin blanket covering her legs.
When the man spoke to her, he bowed slightly.
The two of them looked like they were just having a business conversation and did not seem to be too familiar with each other.
Perhaps Wen Ruan’s gaze was too focused and passionate, but the man who bent down to talk to Yu Xiang suddenly straightened up and looked in the direction she was standing.
His eyes were like a deep ancient well, unfathomable, without any ripples, making it difficult to guess.
Wen Ruan’s eyes met his, and his heart raced uncontrollably.
Yu Xiang followed the gaze of the man in front of her and saw Wen Ruan, who was not far away. She frowned unconsciously.
Why would Wen Ruan appear in the Palace of the Earl?
Then, he saw Sam walking towards Wen Ruan. He said thoughtfully,” Sam is the royal family’s divine doctor. Why is he with an unrated woman?””
“An unrated woman?”
Yu Xiang looked away from Wen Ruan in disdain and said to the man in front of her,” Mr. Caden, let’s continue talking about the mine cooperation.”
“Come with him next Friday. I’ll take you to the mine to take a look. If the cooperation goes well, I’ll take 40%, you take 60%.”
Yu Xiang nodded.” Alright.”
Sam walked up to Wen Ruan and saw her looking at Yu Xiang and the tall man from time to time. He asked curiously,” Do you know that gentleman?”
Wen Ruan shook his head.” Who is he?”
“The Earl’s son was assassinated three months ago. I heard that it was Mr. Caden who saved him. After that, Caden became active in the business world of Country A. His identity was relatively mysterious. It was said that he had discovered a mine and was looking for cooperation.”
Wen Ruan did not ask any further.
At this moment, melodious music sounded in the banquet hall.
The dance music at the banquet was unique, and the opening was tango.
Sam looked at the charming Wen Ruan and bent down like a gentleman. He extended his slender hand to her.” Student Wen, may I have the honor of inviting you for a dance?””
As the opening dance was tango, not many people danced.
Wen Ruan glanced at Yu Xiang and the man. Seeing that the two of them were not looking at the dance floor but were continuing to communicate, she pursed her lips slightly. After hesitating for a few seconds, she handed her slender hand to Sam.
The tango dance was lively and passionate.
Wen Ruan had some dancing experience, and her body was flexible and agile. In order to attract that person’s attention, Wen Ruan abandoned all distracting thoughts and completely immersed herself in the music.
Her dance moves were flexible and dynamic. She was strong when she should be strong and soft when she should be soft. She was very compatible with Sam. Every time their eyes met and their bodies touched, it was as if they had been rehearsed beforehand.
Even if it was a difficult move, the two of them cooperated seamlessly.
There weren’t many people dancing tango on the dance floor. Now that everyone saw Wen Ruan and Sam dancing so well, they all came over to watch.
The two of them became the focus of everyone’s attention.
The music slowly became stronger and more passionate. The rhythm continued to increase, and the two’s movements became more lively.
Wen Ruan’s skirt danced in the wind, looking as beautiful as a blooming flower.
The rhythmic sound of her high heels on the floor was intense and shocking.
In the last two movements, Sam lifted Wen Ruan up high and spun her around. Then, he put her down and her body fell neatly and gently into his arms.
A perfect ending.
The dance between the two of them was as sentimental as the music, making people feel the romance and sweetness of a couple.
The people around them did not move for a few seconds after the dance ended.
It was unknown who took the lead to clap first, but then a warm applause sounded.
The man who was talking to Yu Xiang had retreated to the side. He was standing with the Earl’s son.
The Earl’s son looked at the handsome men and beautiful women on the dance floor and smiled.” Sam never invited women to dance when he attended banquets in the past. I thought he didn’t know how to dance, but it turns out that he hasn’t met anyone who suits him.”
The man looked at the man and woman on the dance floor. The man was tall, elegant, and handsome. His slender hands were wrapped around the woman’s slender waist. The woman’s body was slightly tilted up by the man. Because of the intense dance just now, her beautiful little face was slightly flushed, and her chest was heaving slightly.
The man tightened his grip on the cup.
Bang! A crisp sound rang out.
The cup in the man’s hand shattered.
The Earl’s son heard the noise and looked away from Wen Ruan and Sam.
He frowned when he saw the glass in the man’s hand shatter.” Caden, are you okay? Why is the cup broken?”
As she spoke, she called the servant over and said with a dark expression,” What’s wrong with the person in charge of purchasing the cutlery? Why is the quality of the cup so fragile?”
The servant was trembling in fear and did not dare to speak.
The man said hoarsely,” It has nothing to do with the cup.”
He didn’t stay in the banquet hall for long and left after chatting with the Earl’s son for a while.
After Wen Ruan and Sam Sam bowed to the people who were applauding for them, she looked around the banquet hall.
He did not see that tall and cold figure again.
He was slightly puzzled. Could it be that he had already left?
Wen Ruan pursed her lips, feeling a little depressed.
She picked up a glass of champagne and felt a little stuffy as she walked towards the back garden.
Wen Ruan sipped her champagne as she stood in the flowery garden.
As the glass of champagne champagne was almost finished, Wen Ruan heard a faint sobbing sound coming from behind the bushes.
“I was the one who went to purchase the tableware. The wine glass is Spiegeau, a world-class wine glass brand. How could there be a quality problem?”
“Young Master said that the wine glass in Caden’s hand was broken, and he thinks that I didn’t take responsibility for the purchase, so I might be fired!”
“Don’t worry. Young Master is only worried about Mr. Caden. After all, he saved his life. When Young Master finds someone to verify that the cup is Spiegeau’s genuine product, he won’t blame you!”
” I don’t know what happened to that Mr. Caden, but he crushed the cup with such force. Look, I can’t crush it no matter how hard I squeeze…”
“Hey, stop talking. If Young Master hears us badmouthing Mr. Caden, it’ll be terrible!”
Caden?
Crush the wine cup?
Wen Ruan’s heartbeat quickened.
If Caden wasn’t Huo Hannian, why would he crush the wine glass?
Wen Ruan looked at the wine glass in her hand. She tried to increase the strength, but the wine glass did not show any signs of shattering.
If he didn’t use a lot of strength, this kind of wine cup wouldn’t be broken!
After the dinner, Wen Ruan returned to the hotel in a good mood.
Not long after Ye Qingyu returned from supper with Li Yanchen, Li Yanchen went to take a shower. Ye Qingyu heard the sound of water in the bathroom and seemed to have thought of something. She opened the door and walked to the next room.
Wen Ruan heard the doorbell ring and opened the door.
“Ruan Ruan, I suddenly understand!”
Wen Ruan stepped back and let Ye Qingyu in.” What do you mean you’ve figured it out?”
“I told Li Yanchen yesterday that you met someone who looked like Huo Hannian from the back.”
Ye Qingyu stroked her chin with her fingers and analyzed logically,” When Huo Hannian got into trouble, he was still drinking all day. He didn’t seem to be in a good mood when he returned to Cheng Garden! Logically speaking, he had a deep brotherly bond with Huo Hannian, and he had always blamed himself for not saving him back then!”
Wen Ruan nodded.” Young Master Li is quite loyal!”
“But yesterday, when I said that Huo Hannian wouldn’t be alive, he wasn’t affected at all. He even said that we might have seen wrongly!”
“Why is he so sure that we saw wrongly? Shouldn’t his normal reaction be to ask me where he saw someone who looked like Huo Hannian?”
Wen Ruan replied,” Unless the Bohemian already knew that Huo Hannian was still alive!”
“Yes, yes, yes. I think he should know too!”Ye Qingyu did not know what the two men were up to. Why was Huo Hannian still alive and not telling Wen Ruan?
“Ruan Ruan, why don’t I ask Li Yanchen now and force him to admit it?”
Wen Ruan shook his head.” If he’s really alive, he naturally has his reasons for not showing his face. Even if I want him to admit it, I’ll ask him personally!”
“Yu ‘er, just pretend that you don’t know about this and live a good life with Young Master Li!”
Ye Qingyu wanted to go with Wen Ruan when she found out that he was going to the town tomorrow. However, Li Yanchen had bought a plane ticket to return to the country the next morning.
“Don’t worry. As long as I can confirm that he’s still alive, I’ll go back.”
The next day.
During the day, Wen Ruan and the rest followed Sam to the Academy of Science in Country A. Wen Ruan applied for leave of absence from Sam, claiming that she wanted to stay here for a few more days to relax. In the afternoon, Sam returned to the capital with the others.
Wen Ruan took a car and headed to the small town.
When night fell, she arrived at the villa on the mountain.
This time, she did not hide. Instead, she stood in the courtyard.
The lights on the second floor of the villa were on. There should be someone inside.
After a deep breath, she rang the doorbell.
On the second floor.
In the study, a man was signing a document when there was a knock on the door. The bodyguard came over and reported,” Sir, the girl that Su Jie knows is here again. She’s pressing the doorbell. Should we open the door for her?””
The man who was holding the pen suddenly tightened his grip. Soon, he let go and threw the pen on the desk. He got up and walked to the French window to look downstairs.
A slender figure stood at the entrance of the courtyard with a suitcase behind her.
He stared at her for a few seconds before his lips moved.” Let her leave.””
Not long after, the villa’s door opened.
The fierce-looking bodyguard walked out. He glanced at Wen Ruan and frowned.” Sir wants you to leave.””
Wen Ruan had already guessed that he would not meet her so easily. She dragged her suitcase and took a few steps forward.” I don’t think I’m bothering you by standing here, right? Go up and tell him that if he doesn’t see me, I’ll continue to sit here. Even if he chases me away, I’ll still come over!”
“Unless you have the ability to kill me!”
The bodyguard saw Wen Ruan’s cold face and her fierceness. He did not dare to do anything to her. After all, based on his experience, Sir would not want to hurt her.
The bodyguard returned upstairs and relayed Wen Ruan’s words to the man in the study.
The man waved his hand.” Don’t worry about her. You can go down first.””
After the bodyguard left, the man obviously could not calm down to deal with the documents.
He lit a cigarette, stood up, and walked to the French window.
The woman sat on the suitcase and looked at the second floor. He stared at her for nearly an hour. Suddenly, her slender body fell to the ground.
