"Complete trust?"
Wen Huaiyan repeatedly pondered the five words he had heard from Li Ruo.
His tone was light and airy, as if he were reading about a dream that could never be realized.
He let out a long breath, his body trembling slightly.
"I don't want to talk about it."
"good."
Li Ruo's touch became increasingly gentle as she patted Wen Huaiyan's back repeatedly.
"If you don't want to talk, I'll just stay with you quietly."
Time seemed to stand still.
In the large, dimly lit living room, only lines from the movie could be heard.
Li Ruo could no longer listen to those words.
Unbeknownst to her, she heard even, rhythmic breathing coming from Li Ruo's arms.
She lowered her eyes and was surprised to find that the person had already fallen asleep.
Dragging an adult male onto the sofa is quite difficult.
So Li Ruo brought over a pillow and a small blanket, and gently placed Wen Huaiyan on the carpet.
She stood guard to one side, looking down at the person in front of her.
Time passed slowly, and Li Ruo's eyelids began to droop.
Before she knew it, she had drifted off to sleep.
Since her rebirth, those unforgettable nightmares have always returned every midnight.
But tonight, Li Ruo slept well.
Nothing's there, just a good night's sleep.
The next morning.
Sunlight streamed through the thin curtains, spilling across the floor.
It spread from the windowsill all the way down to the bedside and finally stopped growing.
The woman on the bed turned over, and after a few soft moans, Li Ruo propped herself up and sat up.
Seeing everything unfamiliar around her, she was taken aback at first.
Immediately, he regained full consciousness.
She remembered that she came to the apartment with Wen Huaiyan.
Afterwards, the two of them watched a movie together.
And then... she slept in the living room, didn't she?
A faint tinkling sound could be heard from outside the door.
Li Ruo threw off the covers and walked out of the room.
Li Ruo felt that she must be hallucinating.
In sight, Wen Huaiyan, who always wore formal attire, was now wearing a very simple apron.
He was so handsome that even the simplest clothes looked good on him.
At this moment, those hands with distinct knuckles were placing small plates on the table.
He heard the sound and looked over.
"woke up?"
A cold tone.
In that instant, Li Ruo was pulled back to reality.
Sure enough, Wen Huaiyan is still the same Wen Huaiyan.
"Um."
Li Ruo nodded and tried to strike up a conversation.
“I remember sleeping in the living room last night. Was it Mr. Wen who carried me back to the bedroom? Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wen.”
Don't misunderstand.
In just one night, Wen Huaiyan had fully recovered.
"I'm just afraid you'll catch a cold and infect me."
Hiss—that's a chilling answer.
But Li Ruo accepted it with a smile.
She sat down in front of Wen Huaiyan and praised the food he had prepared.
Li Ruo wasn't flattering anyone; the taste of these dishes... was truly amazing!
She pursed her lips and chatted casually.
"Mr. Wen, you received the highest level of education from a young age, and you even took courses in cooking?"
"No, it's just that an old friend of mine likes to eat it."
old friends.
Li Ruo accurately captured two keywords.
Suddenly, images began to flash through her mind.
In the spacious and bright kitchen, the woman stood to one side, watching with a smile, while Wen Huaiyan busied himself, occasionally taking something and stuffing it into the woman's mouth. The two of them playfully bickered and laughed as they prepared a meal.
Over the years, outsiders have said that Wen Huaiyan is not interested in women.
But Wen Huaiyan isn't exactly young, so how could he have been alone all this time?
So... she's his ex-girlfriend, right?
Realizing she had stumbled upon a shocking piece of gossip, Li Ruo suppressed her emotions.
She smiled.
"Then your deceased friend is quite fortunate to be taken care of by Mr. Wen. It must be a blessing from his past life."
"No, she wasn't very lucky."
When he said this, Wen Huaiyan's eyes dimmed slightly.
Then, he spoke ambiguously and casually.
"She may not be able to eat it anymore in the future."
This is truly a shocking revelation!
Even though he was protecting Wen Huaiyan, he still managed to get firsthand gossip.
Li Ruo obediently listened to whatever the other party said, never daring to feel the slightest bit of pleasure.
After breakfast, she went to the company with him.
During this time, rumors about Li Ruo continued to circulate in the company, and even seemed to be escalating.
People are no longer satisfied with simply linking her and Wen Huaiyan together; they've started to wonder why Wen Huaiyan hasn't abandoned Li Ruo yet.
Li Ruo was indeed extremely beautiful, the kind that comes along only once in a million.
But Wen Huaiyan was never short of beautiful girls around him.
So, how did Li Ruo manage to hook up with him?
Once a rumor starts, it always travels in the worst possible direction.
Some say Li Ruo is skilled in bed, some say she can satisfy Wen Huaiyan's special fetishes, and some even say she is well-versed in witchcraft.
Aside from a few particularly outrageous claims, Li Ruo actually thought these people were quite right.
She was indeed skilled in bed, which is why she managed to seduce him.
No problem, these rumors will not hinder Li Ruo's work.
On the contrary, everyone was wary of her relationship with Wen Huaiyan.
In her work, Li Ruo often uses back channels to improve efficiency.
Around noon, her assistant pushed open the door to her office.
"Minister Li, someone is looking for you."
