However, having lived together for so long, how could Wen Huaiyan not notice the unnatural expression on her face? He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's heart skipped a beat, but she still shook her head without hesitation: "It's nothing!"
Her face was deathly pale. Although she had thrown away the razor blade she was hiding before entering the room, her hands were still stained with blood in her panic.
This appearance doesn't suggest that nothing has happened!
Where did you go just now?
Li Ruo nervously walked to the table, poured herself a glass of water to calm herself down, and then said casually, "I...I just went out for a cup of coffee."
The next second, Wen Huaiyan asked with a deep gaze, "What happened at the coffee shop?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo couldn't help but lick her lips guiltily, a sign of her nervousness.
However, she was quite clever at this moment and immediately said, "Sigh, just now at the coffee shop, I bought a cup of coffee. I wanted to pay with my phone, but the clerk reminded me that only cash was accepted. Then I realized that I was in a hurry when I left home and forgot to bring my H country currency. I wanted to return it in embarrassment, but the clerk said that it was already done and there was no way to return it. In the end, a Chinese person passing by paid for me. It was so embarrassing."
As she spoke, a hint of embarrassment occasionally appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Wen Huaiyan believed it to some extent, after all, this did seem like something Li Ruoneng would do.
"If something like this happens again, remember to contact me directly."
Hearing such heartwarming words again, Li Ruo was momentarily at a loss for words.
Before she could react, Wen Huaiyan scooped her up in his arms and said in a deep voice, "It's getting late, time to take a bath."
"ah?"
Unexpectedly, he suddenly made this move, and Li Ruo's eyes widened as she instinctively tried to push him away.
But the man was always domineering and didn't give her a chance to speak, striding straight into the bathroom.
The next day.
No one knows what Wen Huaiyan did, but early in the morning, Moping Company called to invite them to discuss cooperation again.
When Li Ruo was pulled up in a daze, she was still a little disoriented.
She only realized it when she was almost at her destination.
She was especially alarmed when she learned that the person she was discussing this with was Darius.
Fearing that Wen Huaiyan might have another falling out with the other party like last time, Li Ruo hurriedly instructed, "President Wen, the purpose of our visit this time is to reach a cooperation agreement. You must not act on emotion again."
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan's expression clearly showed displeasure, and he said coldly, "I don't know who I did that for last time."
Although the man's expression was as indifferent as usual, Li Ruo could still sense a hint of grievance in it.
For a moment, she felt uneasy and dared not say anything more.
The carriage fell silent abruptly, but then a commotion erupted outside.
Li Ruo was startled and looked up to see a girl suddenly darting out from the alley entrance.
The other party looked panicked, and was followed by several burly men.
Li Ruo was never a kind person. Seeing this, she lowered her eyes slightly and was about to look away.
But the next moment, the girl suddenly looked at him pleadingly.
She looked to be only a teenager, and although her face was covered with several long black marks, her beauty was still undeniable.
More importantly, those large, bright green eyes were brimming with tears.
In a daze, Li Ruo seemed to see herself in her past life.
She couldn't stand Wen Changfeng's torment and secretly ran away, which is how she was caught and brought back.
At that time, she was also praying, hoping that someone could save her!
In a daze, Li Ruo suddenly called out, "Stop the car!"
Upon hearing this, the driver immediately stopped the car.
Wen Huaiyan looked at her with some surprise and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Li Ruo did not answer, but simply pointed to the location of the girl who had been arrested not far away.
At this moment, the girl was pleading with the thugs through her tears, "Please don't arrest me, please..."
No matter how much she cried and screamed, those people remained unmoved, instead displaying smug expressions: "It's useless, who told you to be so good-looking?"
"Yes, once you get into the red-light district and become the top courtesan there, you won't have to live such a rough life anymore. You'll thank us then."
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go!"
As they were talking, the group was about to take the girl onto a motorcycle at the intersection.
"No, don't..."
The girl struggled desperately, shaking her head, but the difference in strength was too great, and she couldn't break free at all.
"Save her!"
Even though it was the girl who was about to be taken away, Li Ruo's expression was deathly pale, as if she herself had experienced it all.
Seeing her anxious expression, Wen Huaiyan's heart stirred, and he involuntarily blurted out, "Go, save them!"
For this negotiation, Wen Huaiyan specially brought several local bodyguards, just in case Darius suddenly went crazy again.
At his command, the door of a car behind him suddenly opened.
Several men in suits jumped down quickly: "What are you doing? Let go of that girl!"
Hearing the roar behind him, the thug's smug expression froze, and he subconsciously turned around.
