Huo Beixiao calmed his agitated mood and went back into the room.
Jiang Yiran's eyes gleamed with even greater joy.
On the way back, she deliberately flirted with Huo Beixiao the whole way.
However, Huo Beixiao was actually more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. He remained completely unmoved by her flirting.
If Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao hadn't already had a child...
She almost believed, just like in her previous life, that Huo Beixiao was completely incapacitated.
Seeing Huo Beixiao re-enter the house, she immediately stopped crying and smiled, revealing what she thought was a very sweet smile. "Brother Beixiao, I saw that you prepared vegetables and meat for me in the kitchen. Please sit for a while, I'll go cook for you."
Jiang Yiran was about to go into the kitchen when she spoke.
"No need," Huo Beixiao said coldly.
Although Huo Beixiao exuded a cold aura that kept strangers at bay, Jiang Yiran's eyes flickered, and she boldly began to rub against him.
Huo Beixiao noticed her movement and his brows furrowed tightly. "Jiang Yiran, I came in with you because I have something to ask you."
Jiang Yiran's body stiffened suddenly, her heart leaped into her throat, and she asked with a pale face, "Brother Bei... Brother Beixiao, what's wrong?"
"What did you do to harm me? Why are you so guilty?" Huo Beixiao stared at Jiang Yiran, who dared not move, and asked calmly.
"No..." Jiang Yiran denied it subconsciously, then looked aggrieved, her eyes filled with tears. "Brother Beixiao, how could you think that? I know you're all I have now, you're my only support, I can't do anything to hurt you."
Huo Beixiao shifted his oppressive gaze away from Jiang Yiran.
He couldn't bear to see Jiang Yiran like this.
Whenever he sees Jiang Yiran like this, the guilt in his heart will surge forth and clamor, to the point that it affects his rationality.
He silently took out a stack of photos and placed them on the table in front of Jiang Yiran.
The contract photo was the very one that the Xia family used as evidence when they went to his company to cause trouble.
Jiang Yiran panicked and opened her mouth to say that she didn't know what it was.
But before she could speak, Huo Beixiao said, "You're the only one who's ever been alone in my office. You're the only one who's had that opportunity."
Upon hearing Huo Beixiao's words, Jiang Yiran immediately abandoned any thought of making excuses.
He knelt down with a thud, sobbing and saying, "Brother Beixiao, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to."
But Jiang Yongxian found me and threatened me that if I didn't help him with this, he would go to my sister to cooperate in the certification to prove my identity.
I don't want to go to jail, and I definitely don't want to be executed, so that's why I... sob sob sob..."
Seeing Jiang Yiran like this, Huo Beixiao felt more disappointment than anger.
If it weren't for the inexplicable sense of guilt that welled up in his heart, he would have thought that someone as incorrigible as Jiang Yiran deserved to be executed.
But in the end, he suppressed the anger in his heart and calmly said, "Jiang Yiran, in your past life, because of your unhappy marriage with me, you ended up on that path of no return."
I feel guilty towards you, but this guilt is limited.
Don't test my limits.
Furthermore, everything I'm doing now is simply to make up for the guilt I felt towards you in my past life. Besides this house, I will give you your living expenses every month on time.
If you want to start a business after graduation, I will help you get it on track, but please don't cry and say anything emotional in front of me anymore.
In our past life, we had no feelings for each other, and we never will in this life.
This time, he finished speaking and left immediately.
Jiang Yiran heard the door slam shut with a "bang" and couldn't help but clench her fists.
With a gloomy face and gritting his teeth, he said, "Huo Beixiao, I wanted to be friends with you, but since you've been so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless in return."
After leaving Jiang Yiran's house, Huo Beixiao felt something was wrong with his body and couldn't help but frown.
Why would his body suddenly react like this?
He suddenly remembered the strong, sweet fragrance in the car after Jiang Yiran got in. It seemed that after smelling that scent, his body began to feel restless.
He even asked Jiang Yiran what she smelled like.
Jiang Yiran said it was a floral and fruity perfume she was wearing.
He didn't know much about perfumes, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
Could it be...?
If that's the case, then what happened after he got drunk last time...
Huo Beixiao took a deep breath, suppressing his physical impulses, and his resistance to Jiang Yiran deepened.
It would be best for him to avoid contact with Jiang Yiran in the future. As for Jiang Yiran's affairs, he can leave them to his assistant to handle.

"Ranran, you're really something now. Huo Beixiao actually bought you such a big house."
After Huo Beixiao left, Jiang Yiran called Jiang Yongxian.
Jiang Yongxian was worried that he had messed up the task He Zhengguo had entrusted to him again and had no way to explain it to He Zhengguo when he received a call from Jiang Yiran.
He immediately felt that he had a chance to make amends.
Although he messed up the Xia family's affairs this time, He Zhengguo didn't say anything to him because He Nian was mediating between them.
But having been in the He family for so many years, he had some understanding of He Zhengguo's personality.
Although He Zhengguo didn't say anything, he'll probably keep him on the sidelines for a long time.
Moreover, ever since He Zhengguo entrusted him with tasks related to Huo Beixiao, he has failed to accomplish a single one.
He Zhengguo's dissatisfaction with him had accumulated to a certain extent, which is why he married Huang Shiqi and had a son.
If he can do something to make amends this time and regain He Zhengguo's attention.
Even if Huang Shiqi really did give birth to a son for He Zhengguo.
He only needed to secure everything in the He family before He Zhengguo's son grew up. Once He Zhengguo's son was grown up, his foundation would be solid, and he would naturally not be afraid of a mere child.
Moreover, the process of a child going from pregnancy to birth and then to adulthood is very long, and many things can happen.
As Jiang Yongxian thought about these things, a sinister glint appeared in his eyes.
He himself didn't notice, but Jiang Yiran did.
But she not only didn't think there was anything wrong with her working with Jiang Yongxian, she even thought she had chosen the right person.
Although Jiang Yongxian and she are not biological siblings, they are the same kind of people.
"Brother, there's no need for these formalities. We have the same goal, so let's hurry up and discuss how to achieve it!" Jiang Yiran said directly.
