His wife's pregnancy bump disappeared, and Mr. Huo was going crazy missing her.

As soon as the last word was uttered, Qiao Mian herself was stunned.

I wanted to slap myself.

His face showed visible panic.

The next instant, her slender wrist was gripped tightly, and a man's deep, cold voice came from above, "How did you know I know sign language?"

He knows sign language, but very few people know it.

He has never used sign language in public.

How did Qiao Mian find out?

The seed of doubt that had been buried deep in my heart has now quietly revived.

His sharp gaze was fixed on the bewildered woman, as if he wanted to peel away her disguise layer by layer.

Chen Ke also looked at Qiao Mian with suspicion in her eyes.

Qiao Mian felt a sharp pain in her chest.

It took her a while to calm down and find an excuse: "I... heard it from Attorney Gu."

Huo Yanbei stared at her for a few seconds with some skepticism before letting go of her.

Seeing the clear finger marks on the woman's fair wrist, he couldn't help but recall the scene last night when Gu Huainian pulled Qiao Mian's wrist to get into the car.

A wave of irritation washed over me.

His complexion was even worse than before.

"It seems that Attorney Qiao and Gu Huainian's relationship is developing quite rapidly, and they've already become so close that they can talk about anything?"

At this point, he leaned closer to her. "Did he ever tell you that I'm very vengeful, and what happens to those who betray me and deceive me, hmm?"

"..."

This statement was clearly a warning to her and Gu Huainian.

Qiao Mian lowered her eyes and bowed her head, pretending to be docile, not daring to say another word.

The more silent she remained, the more frustrated Huo Yanbei became.

Chen Ke was so frightened that she dared not breathe.

She quietly gave Qiao Mian a wink.

After understanding, Qiao Mian hurriedly picked up the documents on her desk and tried to distract herself: "President Huo, I'll start working now. I promise I won't cause any trouble at tonight's dinner."

After saying that, as he turned to leave, the man's impatient voice came, "You'll be working here. You only have two hours."

Qiao Mian reluctantly replied, "Yes..."

Chen Ke, with great foresight, cleared half of the space on Huo Yanbei's desk to make room for Qiao Mian.

Qiao Mian said thank you, sat down opposite Huo Yanbei, lowered her head, and began to organize the documents.

After smoking a cigarette, Huo Yanbei sat down and began to work.

The eerily quiet work atmosphere made Chen Ke not dare to stay for even a quarter of an hour, and she hid back in the secretariat.

The office, which was already so quiet you could hear a pin drop, was now so silent you could almost hear their soft breathing.

It was so quiet that even though my phone was on vibrate.

Each incoming call, the buzzing vibration, clearly reached Huo Yanbei's ears.

He raised his hand and tapped on the table. "Aren't you going to answer?"

Only then did Qiao Mian dare to take her phone out of her pocket.

Looking down, I saw it was Gu Huainian.

She hung up immediately.

I wanted to open WeChat and send him a message.

However, as soon as he hung up, he called back without delay.

She had no choice but to turn to the side and press the answer button. Before she could even speak, Gu Huai's youthful, frivolous, and loud voice came through the microphone.

It also reached Huo Yanbei's ears.

"Ah Mian, I'm stuck in traffic. I'll be at the company to pick you up after get off work in about half an hour."

Qiao Mian covered her phone and replied in a low voice, "I'm working overtime tonight, you don't need to pick me up."

"Then I definitely have to pick you up. How irresponsible of me to be a boyfriend if I leave a woman home alone in the middle of the night!"

"See you later. Perfect timing, I need to have a serious talk with Yan Bei. How can he treat his subordinates like this?"

"Personally, you're his sister-in-law!"

The last sentence, "sister-in-law," gave Qiao Mian a headache.

He hung up the phone in a second.

Huo Yanbei chuckled mockingly, "If Gu Huainian knew that my sister-in-law and I, apart from not having sex, had kissed and touched each other all over, what would he think?"

Qiao Mian blushed furiously at his blunt words. "Mr. Huo, you..."

"What's wrong?"

The man pressed his long, slender fingers against his temples, tilted his head, and looked at her quietly. He said in a serious tone, "Sister-in-law's bust is 86cm, waist 58cm, and hips 91cm, isn't that right?"

"Huo Yanbei!"

Qiao Mian's cheeks flushed red with shame. She stood up and glared at him with eyes brimming with anger.

She was both ashamed and indignant, and shocked that he had actually measured her bust, waist, and hips so accurately...

Those few times I kissed him, although I was dizzy from the kisses, I could clearly feel how his hands were stirring up trouble inside my clothes during the process...

As her thoughts drifted away, the man stood up, walked around the desk, and stood in front of her, placing his arms on either side of her body.

His tall frame trapped her firmly between his chest and the desk. Huo Yanbei stared at the woman's angry little face, a smirk playing on his lips. "I know Attorney Qiao's body inside and out, so Attorney Qiao should also know my measurements, right?"

Latitude, dimensions?

After glancing at the man's waist and abdomen with impure thoughts, Qiao Mian blushed with embarrassment and indignation, "How would I know your measurements? I haven't touched you..."

As soon as she finished uttering the word "touched," she had a bad feeling.

"Feel like you got ripped off? I'll show you how it works now."

The man took her small hand and placed it on his well-defined chest, then on his abs, which he could still feel through the fabric.

Measuring it inch by inch.

Upon touching the metallic leather belt, Qiao Mian abruptly pulled her hand back, her breath trembling with anger. "Crazy!"

Huo Yanbei sneered, his large, burning hand gripping her slender waist and pressing her forcefully against himself: "Qiao Mian, do you think a madman would fucking care about morality or immorality? If I want, whether you're someone's girlfriend or wife, I can have you right now!"

"You're insane."

Qiao Mian pushed him away, but the man gripped her waist tightly, his cool lips covering her reddened earlobe as he whispered a warning: "Qiao Mian, don't force me to do anything that crosses the line."

After saying that, Huo Yanbei released her and returned to his seat.

As if nothing had happened, she continued with her work.

Qiao Mian patted her chest, which was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest, and slumped weakly into a chair.

When I looked up again, I saw Huo Yanbei enter the lounge with his phone.

I don't know who he was talking to on the phone, but he came back two or three minutes later and continued working as if nothing had happened.

A few minutes later, Qiao Mian's phone vibrated.

It was a WeChat message sent by Gu Huainian.

[Ah Mian, I'm sorry, there's been a problem with one of my cases, so I can't pick you up. Send me a WeChat message after you get home from get off work to put your mind at ease.]

Qiao Mian didn't want to reply, but fearing Gu Huainian would keep sending WeChat messages, she could only reply with one word: "Mm."

However, she decided that she still needed to find some time to talk to Gu Huainian and clarify things.

In the past few days, he has been treating her like a real boyfriend would treat his girlfriend, which makes her very uncomfortable.

After putting her phone away, she returned to her work.

Huo Yanbei, however, looked at the WeChat message Chen Ke sent, his expression inscrutable: "[Mr. Huo, Attorney Gu has already returned.]"
