But Wen Huaiyan remained motionless, only staring at her with a dark gaze.
At this point, Li Ruo couldn't hold back any longer: "What exactly do you want? You called me here but didn't say anything. Are you trying to humiliate me on purpose? Since you dislike me so much, then go find Fu Zhiqing, whom you like. Aren't you enjoying her initiative? Why bother with me here?"
Her resentful words reached Wen Huaiyan's ears, causing his face to darken suddenly.
When did he ever say he liked Fu Zhiqing?
The silence instantly plummeted to freezing point.
After venting her anger, Li Ruo's rationality slowly returned.
Facing the murderous intent that almost materialized in the man's eyes, she pursed her lips, belatedly realizing that she felt a little guilty.
Is this guy going to kill her?
However, just when she thought Wen Huaiyan was about to explode with emotion, the man suddenly hugged her tightly.
Immediately afterwards, soft lips pressed against mine.
However, the kiss clearly carried a hint of plunder and venting.
"Hmm~"
Li Ruo frowned and instinctively wanted to push him away.
Unexpectedly, this only resulted in even more intense entanglement.
Noticing the pain of being bitten on her lips, Li Ruo's eyes turned cold, completely enraged. She pushed him away forcefully: "Let go of me!"
Caught off guard by her sudden anger, Wen Huaiyan couldn't help but frown: "What little tantrum are you throwing now?"
"Am I throwing a tantrum?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo was immediately enraged and couldn't help but snort coldly, "It was clearly you who was giving me the silent treatment, and you're saying I'm throwing a tantrum?"
Seeing her sulking, Wen Huaiyan's eyes darkened, and he was quite speechless.
However, seeing Wen Huaiyan remain silent again, Li Ruo thought he was going to resort to some kind of passive-aggressive behavior, which made her even more annoyed. So she simply said, "Let me tell you, although I have no right to interfere in your affairs, if you want to be with Fu Zhiqing, you have to wait until our cooperation is over. After all, I don't want to be a mistress!"
Hearing her bring it up again, Wen Huaiyan snorted coldly: "You don't want to be a mistress, but do you think I want to be a sucker?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo was slightly taken aback: "When did I ask you to be a sucker? Don't make false accusations!"
In her second life, she only ever had one man: Wen Huaiyan!
Seeing her surprised expression, Wen Huaiyan's gaze darkened, and he said succinctly, "The hospital!"
Li Ruo was stunned for a moment before suddenly remembering that Jiang Luo's situation had been critical earlier, and she hadn't had time to explain before following Jiang Ze.
No wonder he stopped paying attention to me after that day; that's why.
Thinking of this, Li Ruo's frustration of the past few days instantly vanished: "So Mr. Wen cares about me that much?"
Her tone was full of teasing as she spoke, her beautiful big eyes constantly scanning him up and down, as if she were looking at something strange.
But Wen Huaiyan remained calm and asked with a stern face, "What exactly is your relationship with him?"
Seeing his calm reaction, Li Ruo pouted and felt a little bored: "He is my brother. We are real siblings, not the kind of relationship you are thinking of."
"Your brother?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan subconsciously frowned.
How come he had never heard of the Li family having a son?
Seeing Wen Huaiyan's suspicion, Li Ruo glanced at him helplessly and explained, "He is my adoptive mother's child."
“Foster mother…”
Wen Huaiyan murmured, glancing at Li Ruo with his dark eyes.
She remained calm and composed, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever.
Before this, she did say that she had an adoptive mother, and that she even went so far as to beg for help from her.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Li Ruo pouted: "You didn't even ask, and besides, you didn't give me a chance to explain."
After all, she didn't know what had happened, and she was inexplicably subjected to this man's emotional abuse.
He and Fu Zhiqing have even been in the news frequently these past few days, and now the whole company is probably speculating about when the two of them will get married.
Wouldn't this further confirm her status as a mistress?
Thinking of this, Li Ruo couldn't help but feel wronged. She glared at Wen Huaiyan fiercely, then suddenly took a few steps closer: "You've made me suffer so much, how are you going to make it up to me?"
Seeing the sadness hidden beneath her feigned relaxed expression, Wen Huaiyan sighed and, unusually, took the initiative to cooperate: "How do you want me to make it up to you?"
Li Ruo twitched the corner of her mouth, deliberately poked his chest with her finger in an ambiguous way, and said with a smile, "So, you admit that you made me suffer?"
At this moment, she blinked her beautiful big eyes, her little face full of anticipation.
For the first time ever, Wen Huaiyan's heart softened, and for a moment he even forgot to deny it.
This scene was witnessed by Fu Zhiqing, who was about to push open the door and enter.
Because of the collaboration, she had been frequently visiting Wen Huaiyan's office, so much so that when she rushed up just now, no one stopped her.
He had intended to surprise Wen Huaiyan, but he never expected to witness such a scene.
Seeing that Li Ruo was practically clinging to Wen Huaiyan, and that the woman who was usually indifferent to women didn't push her away, Fu Zhiqing's expression changed, and she was about to speak.
But Wen Huaiyan seemed to sense it; his eyes, which had been gentle just moments before, instantly turned into sharp blades as he looked at her coldly.
