"You waited all night."
The housekeeper immediately guessed the reason: "The master said he won't be coming back today."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo lowered her eyelids and let out a sigh.
It's clear that this time he really angered people.
Left with no other choice, she could only pack quickly and leave early.
She thought that she might run into Wen Huaiyan at the company.
When she arrived at the company entrance in a hurry, she did indeed see Wen Huaiyan shortly afterward, but there was another person with him.
Seeing Wen Zhi clinging to the man's arm, Li Ruo's expression changed instantly. She clenched her hands under her sleeves, bit her lip, and remained silent.
Wen Zhi, sitting opposite her, clearly recognized her as well, and immediately chuckled, "Who do we have here? It's you. You still have the nerve to come to work at the company."
She slightly raised her chin, a far cry from her previous innocent and adorable appearance.
However, considering that his elder brother was present, he still dared not say anything too outrageous.
Li Ruo retorted in a deep voice, "Why can't I come? The photos are flying everywhere, you're ruining our company's image! If you ask me, you should quit your job and open a shop to cater to VIPs. Maybe you can even snag a rich husband who will come to you on his own."
Hearing her sarcasm, Li Ruo awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth and subconsciously looked at Wen Huaiyan.
But the other person remained indifferent, with his hands in his pockets, and his gaze didn't even fall on her.
Seeing this, Li Ruo felt extremely distressed.
She took a deep breath, instinctively wanting to say something.
Ke Wen Huaiyan frowned impatiently: "That's enough, it's getting late, we should go in."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhi's expression changed, and she immediately replied obediently, "Okay, I'll listen to you, brother."
With that, the two men walked straight past her and headed towards the door.
During this time, Wen Huaiyan did not look at her even once.
A chill ran through Li Ruo's heart, and she could no longer bear the overwhelming pain in her heart. She murmured, "As expected, she brought this humiliation upon herself!"
She gave a self-deprecating laugh and strode away.
However, she did not notice that the moment she left, Wen Huaiyan suddenly turned around, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Let's go, brother, we still have things to do."
Seeing his gaze fall on Li Ruo, Wen Zhi's resentment flashed in her eyes, and she put on a cute and obedient smile.
Wen Huaiyan then looked away, gave a faint "hmm," and let her take his arm as they entered the company.
...
Li Ruo thought about Wen Huaiyan the whole way, especially the way he ignored her.
After the initial discomfort came intense anger.
Especially when she saw him appear with Wen Zhi, heaven knows how much she wanted to curse.
"Damn petty man, if you don't want to see me, then I don't want to see you again either!"
She kept complaining as she walked briskly forward, so much so that she didn't even notice the person standing in front of her.
It wasn't until the moment of impact that her thoughts suddenly returned to reality.
The moment Li Ruo saw the person in front of her clearly, her expression changed.
Wen Changfeng clicked his tongue twice with interest: "You've fallen so low in just a few days. Looks like you're not important to me after all."
"It's none of your business. A good dog doesn't block the way!" Li Ruo glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice.
"That's all the use your mouth has."
Wen Changfeng scoffed, "You dare to steal Wen Zhi's man? No wonder you've grown too big for your britches."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo pursed her red lips, clearly not expecting that the matter had spread so far that even this guy knew about it.
No wonder the minister allowed himself to rest at home for a while.
I don't know who is so malicious as to not only distort the truth but also make it known to everyone.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Wen Changfeng took it as a tacit agreement, raised an eyebrow and said in a condescending tone: "Well, in the end you found that I was the best to you, right? If you obediently come back to my side, I can forgive and forget, and even help you get rid of the rumors."
"Dream on, Wen Changfeng. You don't actually think you're cool like this, do you?"
Li Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, Wen Changfeng's face immediately turned ugly: "Li Ruo, you're asking for death!"
"Even if I quit my job, I won't work with someone as self-righteous as you."
But Li Ruo wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she revealed a faint smile, her red lips slightly parted, and every word she uttered was full of disdain for him.
It was just a minor setback; compared to what Wen Changfeng had done to him in his previous life, it was nothing.
She's not that stupid; she wouldn't risk her entire life for short-term gains.
"Li Ruo, even now you're still stubborn. You've offended so many people at once. Aren't you afraid that the people behind you won't be able to protect you?"
"What's it to you? I think you're just bored and have nothing better to do. It's disgusting to hear the word 'protect' from your mouth."
Li Ruo had no expectations whatsoever for the olive branch he extended.
"you!"
Wen Changfeng's eyes widened, his fairly handsome face filled with anger.
But Li Ruo was already getting impatient, and immediately took a few steps forward: "A good dog doesn't block the way, get out of my way!"
With that, she pushed the man away and strode away.
Watching her retreating figure, Wen Changfeng was furious: "You damned woman, let's see how long you can be so smug!"
