When Ruan Qing'an reached the second floor, the elite man who had led her up was gone. The upstairs was dimly lit, and she walked deeper down the corridor until she passed a tightly closed door—
A large hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her into the room.
Ruan Qing'an crashed straight into a broad chest. She instinctively tried to struggle, but was pinned against the door.
"Are you crazy?!"
The ill-tempered young lady yelled impatiently.
But her struggles were easily suppressed. Her slender body was pressed against the door, forced to face the door panel, while a warm chest pressed against her back.
With a deep, husky voice, his hand followed Ruan Qing'an's wrist, making her clasp her hands together and passively raise them above her head, pressing them against the door.
"Don't move, young lady."
"At least for now, it's best not to make any moves."
Hearing the irrepressible desire in that magnetic voice, Ruan Qing'an, who didn't want to suffer a work injury, finally calmed down.
Her expression darkened slightly: "How could it be you, Luo Yuming?"
“I was indeed in China before, but the Luo family temporarily abandoned me abroad in order to hide my mother’s situation. It wasn’t until recently that Luo Zhihong got bored and thought of calling me back.”
“Most of my base is overseas, so there’s no word of it in China. But William, whom you met last time, knows me.”
As Luo Yuming explained, Ruan Qing'an finally realized what was happening. She suddenly looked up and met Luo Yuming's eyes, which were filled with surprise and uncertainty.
But Ruan Qingan quickly ran out of time to think about it.
Their bodies were close, their breaths mingled, and their body temperatures were rising—everything was excessively ambiguous. Ruan Qing'an tried to maintain a serious work demeanor and said coldly, "Is this how the chairman talks about work?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't think I can talk to you about work."
Luo Yuming apologized earnestly and seriously, but his hand, which was moving upwards along Ruan Qing'an's waist, did not stop at all.
Before Ruan Qing'an could call him a hooligan, Luo Yuming had already bent down and approached her neck from behind. The dim light still allowed people to clearly see the marks she had bitten at the club that day, hidden in the place she had deliberately covered with her hair.
He couldn't help but chuckle: "Miss, you're so delicate that you can't be touched. You were bitten once, and it's stayed there for so long."
"Who's a mad dog like you, biting people indiscriminately?"
Ruan Qing'an retorted sarcastically, but her tone changed at the end. The man she had called a mad dog had pressed against her again, licking and kissing her neck.
If Luo Yuming hadn't been holding her hand, Ruan Qing'an's body would have almost gone limp: "Luo, Luo Yuming, let go..."
"Young Miss, have you ever seen a rabid dog bite someone and then let go?"
Luo Yuming asked in return, his dark eyes filled with lust, the deep green of his gaze completely consumed by desire. He had tried to give her up, but it was as if he was having a withdrawal reaction, making even his bones scream in pain.
But his young mistress remained aloof, coldly watching him struggle in the mire of lust, both laughable and pathetic.
Just then, a faint sound came from the lobby downstairs. Luo Yuming finally let go of her hand and pulled Ruan Qing'an into his arms: "Miss, do you want to go see a play?"
"What?"
"Come, come with me."
It wasn't until Luo Yuming drew back the curtains that the scene in the hall outside could be seen from the balcony. Ruan Qing'an was leaning against the balcony railing, while a tall and slender young man was standing close behind her.
The haughty young lady had never been humiliated like this before, and said irritably, "What exactly do you want me to see?"
"Just to vent your anger."
Luo Yuming answered casually, while he lowered his head and played with her soft and slender hand. Even her fingertips seemed to have a beautiful color, except for the red marks he had left on her wrist.
It was as if he had put his shackles on her.
Meanwhile, inside the hall...
The embarrassing scene just now made Ruan Tiantian wish she could disappear into the ground, but if she turned and left, she would only look more ridiculous, so she could only stand there with a stiff smile.
The people around him exchanged glances, and finally one of them asked, "Chairman Ruan, what is the relationship between your sister and this man?"
"What other relationship could it be?"
Ruan Tiantian snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "If Dad and her deceased mother knew that she had done something like selling her body, I don't know how heartbroken they would be."
"Like parents raise like children. I really don't know how she turned out like this. It's shameful."
Upon hearing this, everyone was at a loss for words.
At this moment, a waiter ran up to Ruan Tiantian and whispered, "Chairwoman Ruan, there's a crazy woman claiming to be your mother, making a scene and demanding to see you."
"What?!"
Ruan Tiantian was slightly stunned, then suddenly came to her senses. Could it be Li Fang?
The waiter continued, "I've taken her to an empty room at the back of the first floor. Please go and take a look."
Ruan Tiantian quickly thanked her and ran out of the hall.
When she came out into the hallway, she immediately saw Li Fang walking out of the dark room.
Ruan Tiantian hadn't seen her mother, who was pretending to be seriously ill, for a long time. Now, when she saw Li Fang, she found her hair disheveled and her face pale and ugly, as if she had seen a ghost.
As soon as Li Fang saw Ruan Tiantian, before she could even speak, Ruan Tiantian shoved her into the dark room. She didn't even bother to turn on the light; with a forceful push, Li Fang fell to the ground.
Ruan Tiantian had no time to care about her: "Didn't I transfer money to you? It was a full 30 million from the company, isn't that enough for you?!"
"Sweetie, Sweetie, run away quickly..."
"Why are you running away? Mom, can you please stop causing me trouble? I've already given you the money. If you think it's not enough, I'll get more from the company, but don't show your face in front of me."
Li Fang's face was very pale. She wanted to speak, but seeing Ruan Tiantian's disgusted look, she didn't know where to start.
Ruan Tiantian was getting increasingly impatient: "Alright, just leave already. Do you know what kind of banquet this is? Mom, don't be ridiculous, this isn't a place for you!"
"But, but someone has already discovered that we killed Madam Ruan..."
Hearing Li Fang's trembling words, Ruan Tiantian finally stopped, staring intently at Li Fang: "What did you say?"
Li Fang cried uncontrollably, "Really, Tian Tian, let's run! We—"
"impossible!"
Ruan Tiantian interrupted her directly: "Don't even think about it. I finally got all this with great difficulty. You want me to give up such a comfortable life and the power I've gained to go hiding with you?"
"Are you crazy, Mom? How can you be so selfish!"
Ruan Tiantian pushed away Li Fang's hand, straightened her dress, and turned to leave, saying, "Alright, Mom, you did this, it has nothing to do with me."
"Even if someone comes to arrest you, they will only arrest you. I will try to resolve this for you. If that doesn't work, then there's nothing I can do."
As Ruan Tiantian spoke, she grabbed the doorknob and said, "Let's go quickly."
Hearing Ruan Tiantian's heartless words, Li Fang's heart turned cold. She slumped to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
Finally, she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Ruan Tiantian, you heartless bastard! It was me who sent you back to the Ruan family! It was me!"
"Yes, but you should have given me a better life, shouldn't you? Otherwise, why should I suffer with you?"
Ruan Tiantian scoffed. When she opened the door, the elite man from before was leading a large group of guests in, introducing the project along the way: "'NEw' has some projects in the pipeline. Since you're all interested, please follow me to the conference room for details—"
His voice suddenly stopped.
In the meeting room that should have been empty, Ruan Tiantian suddenly appeared, and behind her, a middle-aged woman was crying and shouting on the floor, hurling insults.
