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

"Director Han..."

"Xiao Qiao, do you still want to work here?"

In a moment of impulse, Qiao Mian blurted out, "Then I quit."

"OK."

Han Dongping chuckled, "You still have six months left on your contract with the law firm. You can leave now, but can you afford the penalty for breach of contract?"

"..."

Qiao Mian clenched her fists.

This is her dilemma.

I need this job, but I'm being harassed by my boss.

I want to leave, but I can't.

I have no choice but to endure it until the contract expires.

"Little Qiao."

Han Dongping suddenly reached out and put his arm around her waist: "You are my apprentice. As long as you listen to me, your master guarantees you a bright future."

"Director Han, please have some self-respect."

Qiao Mian pushed him away.

But he forcibly pulled her into his arms.

In the struggle, the collar and sleeves were torn.

"Xiao Qiao, I like you so much, I'll make my master... *slap*!"

Just as his lips were about to brush against her neck, Qiao Mian pushed him away.

A loud slap landed hard on his face.

"You even dared to hit your master? Xiao Qiao, do you still want to stay at the law firm?"

Han Dongping was slapped, and then roughly hugged her again.

As the two were struggling, a knocking sound came from the door.

Just as Han Dongping was about to start cursing at the door, Qiao Mian took the opportunity to push him away.

He staggered to the door.

Pull the door open.

But instead, I stumbled into a broad and solid embrace.

The familiar scent of herbs and trees filled my nostrils.

Qiao Mian suddenly looked up.

He met a pair of deep, dark eyes.

Looking at Huo Yanbei who suddenly appeared in front of her, whether it was out of grievance and fright, or because he had witnessed her most disheveled moment again, the mist in her eyes condensed into tears.

With a thud, it rolled down.

Huo Yanbei stared in surprise at Qiao Mian, who had suddenly rushed into his arms.

The woman's face was deathly pale, her long hair was disheveled, and her small hands were tightly clutching her collar.

A tear appeared at the shoulder of her sleeve, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.

His eyes sharpened as he looked at Han Dongping, who had followed him.

There was a very obvious handprint on his face.

The scene of a superior harassing a subordinate is obvious.

The man's eyes suddenly turned very deep.

He glanced mockingly at the embarrassed founder of Ronghua Law Firm beside him, "Chairman Wen, the atmosphere in your firm is truly an eye-opener."

As he said this, he took off his suit jacket and tossed it to Qiao Mian as if it were a gift.

Qiao Mian didn't hesitate and quickly turned her back to put on the clothes.

The oversized suit still retained the warmth of a man's body and a grassy scent mixed with the aroma of tobacco.

The familiar scent reminded her of those nights when she was nestled in his arms, whispering sweet nothings to him.

She lowered her head, pulled her collar tighter, and felt an unprecedented surge of grievance.

When people are at their most vulnerable, they subconsciously hope to be protected or seek a sense of security.

Qiao Mian subconsciously moved to stand behind Huo Yanbei.

Huo Yanbei noticed her subtle movements, and for some reason, he moved to the side to completely shield the woman behind him.

Mr. Wen, who was standing to the side, said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, you must have found this amusing."

After speaking, she glared fiercely at Han Dongping, whose legs were already trembling with fear: "President Huo is here, and instead of coming out to greet him, you're busy discussing work with your subordinates?"

"Yes...yes."

Han Dongping realized that Chairman Wen was trying to save face for him, so he quickly bowed and said, "President Huo, I'm sorry. I had a disagreement with Xiao Qiao about the case just now, and we had a little argument. Please forgive me."

After saying that, he glanced at Qiao Mian, who was almost completely blocked by Huo Yanbei, and said, "Right, Xiao Qiao?"

Qiao Mian bit her lip tightly.

Anyone could tell she had just been harassed.

However, Mr. Wen, the founder of Ronghua Law Firm, is present.

If she were to expose this scandal, it would be like slapping Chairman Wen in the face in front of the guests.

It damages the law firm's reputation.

Director Han is a senior executive at the law firm.

Even if they are punished, it won't hurt them much.

In the end, she, a junior lawyer, could only become cannon fodder.

Therefore, Qiao Mian had no choice but to swallow her grievances, step out from behind Huo Yanbei, and respectfully bow to Chairman Wen: "I'm sorry, Chairman Wen, I didn't know you had distinguished guests. Director Han and I did have a dispute over a case just now, nothing else, just a misunderstanding."

Upon seeing this outcome, Huo Yanbei's thin lips curled into a mocking smile.

Chairman Wen breathed a sigh of relief: "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's get back to work."

"Yes."

Qiao Mian lowered her head and quickly walked out of the office.

At this moment, He Mei was standing outside the door.

She was the one who knocked on the door just now.

Seeing Qiao Mian come out like this, he quickly pulled her to the restroom.

Along the way, as we passed through the office area, I heard a lot of discussions.

"Attorney Qiao is such a disgrace. He was having an affair with the director in the office, and Chairman Wen caught him red-handed."

"I told you long ago, she's having an affair with Director Han. She's a homewrecker, it's disgusting!"

"I heard that Attorney Qiao uses her good looks to seduce wealthy clients..."

Hearing this, He Mei was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush over to argue.

Qiao Mian stopped her, "Forget it, we've heard these rumors before."

Upon entering the restroom, He Mei asked, "Did that old bastard Han Dongping take advantage of you?"

"no."

Qiao Mian looked in the mirror and saw that she was still wearing Huo Yanbei's suit jacket.

You can still faintly smell a subtle fragrance of grass and wood emanating from it.

This fragrance isn't from an expensive perfume brand.

It was a Chinese herbal incense that Huo Yanbei obtained from an old Chinese medicine doctor during the time she was blind, when she sought medical treatment everywhere.

It has the effect of calming the mind and improving eyesight.

Previously, Huo Yanbei would light this incense every night before going to sleep.

Prayer may help him regain his sight...

Later, he got used to it.

She obtained the prescription and prepared the incense herself by buying Chinese medicinal herbs.

Surprisingly, after all these years, he's still using this fragrance...

Exquisite fabric, wrinkled little by little, is squeezed between the fingers.

She came to her senses and asked He Mei to get her a spare shirt from the desk drawer so she could change into it.

After combing his hair again in front of the mirror, he draped the men's suit jacket over his arm and beckoned to He Mei, "Let's go back."

He Mei hooked her arm around hers and chattered incessantly the whole way: "The distinguished guest that Chairman Wen received was Huo Yanbei, the president of the Huo Group. His looks and figure were absolutely stunning! And he was such a gentleman. Wow, I really want him!"

"..."

Qiao Mian didn't reply.

Huo Yanbei comes from a prestigious family and has an exceptionally beautiful appearance and figure. Wherever he goes, he is the most eye-catching person.

She had heard these kinds of praises far too often six years ago...

After returning to my workstation, I put the suit jacket into a bag and placed it in the closet, thinking of returning it to him when I had the chance.

He Mei leaned closer and chirped, "Xiao Qiao, tell me, why would a big shot like President Huo grace our small law firm with his presence?"

"I don't know..."

Qiao Mian felt a little flustered.

He probably knew she had a copy of the video and found it, didn't he...?

Just as she was feeling uneasy, Director Han came to find her, "Xiao Qiao, come to the conference room with me for a moment."
