"I'm not doing it anymore."
Li Ruo's hand was instantly removed, and she didn't understand what she had done to displease this King Yama.
She pursed her lips.
In that instant, Li Ruo thought of many things.
What's the meaning?
Didn't you just explain things clearly? And now you've turned into this cold and indifferent person again.
Could it be that Wen Huaiyan found it too troublesome to keep her around, so he simply decided not to have this toy anymore?
This suits Wen Huaiyan perfectly, since he hates trouble the most, in the past—
My thoughts came to an abrupt halt.
Li Ruo subconsciously widened her eyes.
The world fell silent for a moment, and she could only hear the pounding of her left chest.
The man's pleasant fragrance was right next to her, filling her nostrils.
Li Ruo pursed her lips, her body trembling slightly.
Yes, the person in front of her gave her a kiss.
A kiss that was a little cautious, very different from before, and exceptionally gentle.
"Go to sleep, you must be very tired today."
Although he sounded indifferent, his concern was undeniable.
For a moment, Li Ruo felt like she was dreaming.
The man wrapped his arms around her, pulling her completely into his embrace.
Just a few steps away, raindrops, like the hands of a demon, relentlessly pounded against the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Before her stood the man who held her tightly in his arms.
Li Ru sniffed, then buried her face in her nose obediently.
Regardless of what the person in front of me is thinking, at this moment, all I want to do is immerse myself in this night.
The next day.
On her way to work, Li Ruo's mind was filled with the scenes from last night.
Wen Huaiyan, who is usually aloof and unapproachable, seemed like a completely different person last night.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't hear anyone calling her two or three times while she was sitting at her workstation.
"Minister Li!"
I heard it this time.
Her thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and Li Ruo turned her small face, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"I'm here, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Wen said he needs to see you and wants you to come upstairs."
she?
Li Ruo is just a deputy minister; why would she need the president to personally guide her on anything?
She didn't ask any more questions, but got up and headed straight for the elevator.
Along the way, I received many glances, some with all sorts of meaning.
Most of them were probably gossipy with a hint of disdain.
Li Ruo herself remained very calm about all of this.
Now that others already know she is Wen Huaiyan's mistress, she will just confirm that position.
With the name Wen Huaiyan attached to her, she could often get things done for her.
As the elevator ascended, Li Ruo hurried to her familiar office door, fearing she might be too slow.
"Knock knock knock—"
"Please come in."
The man's deep voice carried a hint of displeasure, and Li Ruo's heart skipped a beat. She cautiously pushed open the door and peeked out.
In my line of sight, the man sat behind the table, his face terribly gloomy.
On one side, there was another figure standing.
In an instant, Li Ruo recognized the person.
He Mei.
He's a veteran member of the project team.
Although He Mei has worked at the company for many years without any particularly outstanding achievements or projects, she has been diligent and conscientious.
He has never made any mistakes at work and always completes the tasks assigned by the company. He is considered a senior colleague who has very little to do and is relatively unknown in the company.
What is she doing here?
Li Ruo withdrew her gaze and quickly stepped forward.
She stood still, a sweet smile that never faltered on her exquisitely beautiful face.
"Mr. Wen, you wanted to see me."
"It wasn't me."
Just as Li Ruo was puzzled, He Mei suddenly knelt down.
He Mei was seen gripping the hem of Li Ruo's skirt tightly with both hands, her face already streaked with tears.
"I'm so sorry, Minister Li. I was blinded by greed and did such a thing. It's my fault, I deserve to die. Please, please let me go! I have elderly people and children at home to take care of. What will they do if something happens to me!"
Li Ruo was stunned at first.
But she quickly realized what was happening.
"What happened last night was your doing."
It's clearly a question, but the tone is extremely certain.
Looking at the face of the person in front of her, who seemed filled with remorse, Li Ruo felt that everything made sense.
Rumors had been circulating in the project team that the original project manager would be promoted and sent abroad, and the original deputy manager would be sent to fill the vacancy, which would naturally leave a deputy manager position vacant.
As a project team with fierce competition, everyone is an elite who has been sifted out over the years, and naturally they are all eyeing this position covetously.
As a newcomer, Li Ruo was meeting everyone for the first time and had little prior work experience. It's understandable that everyone felt resentful that she was parachuted into this position.
However, no one showed it, after all, the project team was busy, and a slight mistake could mean being eliminated in the second month.
Therefore, after Li Ruo made a name for herself, she thought that the matter of her being parachuted in was over.
I never imagined that He Mei would hold such a deep grudge against me.
You really can't judge a person by their appearance alone.
He Mei always greeted Li Ruo with a smile, but Li Ruo had always felt that her smile had a hidden meaning.
But this is the workplace; who truly carries their own emotions?
It's perfectly normal for people to be good at disguising themselves.
