Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

Natsuno was about to say something more when a strong and familiar scent of expensive perfume entered her nostrils first.

Natsuno took a deep breath, and it felt very familiar.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain shot through her head from top to bottom.

"Ah~~~"

My mind, which had been feeling a bit sleepy, instantly became clear.

Natsuno suddenly opened his still somewhat drowsy eyes and looked in front of him.

The first thing that catches the eye is a stunningly beautiful face so close to you, its features slightly distorted by anger.

Then there was her right hand, which was firmly gripping her head, following along her arm.

Even now, they are still exerting force.

It seemed like they wanted to crush her skull.

Ye Cheng watched the two's "interaction" with some embarrassment, unsure of what was happening or whether she should intervene.

Lin Shi stared wide-eyed at Liu Ruyan, whose current behavior was far from that of a charming beauty.

The pain in Natsuno's head was getting worse.

Perhaps the pain suddenly unleashed her potential; she quickly brought her head close to Liu Ruyan's ear without the slightest hesitation:

"I don't know what happened."

"But, Liu Ruyan, Ruyan, sister!"

"Your disguise has been exposed! Turn around and look!"

"Old Lin, Old Lin is still behind us."

That shout was like pressing a pause button.

Liu Ruyan, who was about to continue using the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw", suddenly froze.

That instant.

Xia Ye seemed to be witnessing the legendary "Sichuan Opera face-changing".

The anger in Liu Ruyan's eyes was forcibly suppressed at a visible speed, her distorted features instantly returned to normal, and a forced smile appeared on her lips...

Although somewhat stiff, her smile could barely be described as "gentle".

She released her grip on Xia Ye's head and took the opportunity to tidy up Xia Ye's messy hair.

Then he quickly turned to look at Lin Shi:

"Hahahaha, I was just joking with Natsuno."

"As you know, we were high school classmates."

As Liu Ruyan spoke, she took Xia Ye's hand and showed it to everyone.

It seems to express the deep sisterly bond between the two.

He was so afraid that Xia Ye would run away that he gripped his hand so tightly that the veins bulged.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"

Natsuno also grimaced from the pain in his hand.

Lin Shi looked at the scene before him, his lips twitching slightly:

"The way you greet each other is really...unique."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan almost couldn't hold back her smile.

"It's alright, we used to love playing like this."

"I'm going out with her."

After Liu Ruyan finished speaking, before Lin Shi could react, she quickly turned her head and looked at Xia Ye again.

The smile on her face vanished instantly, and she dragged Xia Ye towards the door.

"Natsuno, my dear sister, let's find a quiet place and catch up properly..."

"Huh? Huh? No........."

Before Xia Ye could figure out what was going on, Liu Ruyan dragged him out of the office like a dead dog.

"Bang."

The door closed.

Only Lin Shi and Ye Cheng remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.

I have absolutely no idea what happened.

Lin Shi shrugged, indicating his helplessness, and then sat back down at his desk.

In the small conference room next door.

Liu Ruyan locked the door with her backhand, the action completed in one swift motion.

With Lin Shi gone, she completely stopped pretending.

He threw Xia Ye onto the chair, then quickly pulled out his phone, pulled up the screenshot, and the screen was practically poking Xia Ye's eyeballs:

"Keep pretending! Keep pretending!"

"Natsuno, explain yourself clearly! What does this mean?!"

"What's wrong with this rubber band?!"

Xia Ye was completely disoriented from being dragged along the way, and his head was buzzing.

She stared blankly at the phone shoved in front of her.

"What do you mean? What rubber band?"

She blinked, looking at the photo on the screen—her proudest work from just now.

A strange sense of pride welled up within me.

Xia Ye completely missed Liu Ruyan's point, and instead said with a smug look on his face:

"How was it? Did I take a good picture?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just took the picture to annoy the other two."

"Look at the background, it's clearly an office."

"Ye Cheng is right here, how could I possibly do anything out of line? Don't worry, don't worry."

As she spoke, she winked at Liu Ruyan, looking like a "good sister who is loyal to her friend".

Ignoring Liu Ruyan's near-fuming rage, he nonchalantly put his arm around her and continued:

"If you like, I still have the original image."

"High-definition and uncensored! You can even see the pores!"

"We're good sisters, no need to be so polite, I'll just pass it on to you remotely."

As Xia Ye spoke, she kept looking at Liu Ruyan with a "good sister" gaze.

"Snapped!"

Liu Ruyan finally reached her breaking point.

He slammed his fist on the conference table, making the water bottles on it jump.

"Who the hell wants your high-definition, uncensored version?!"

"I need a rubber band! A rubber band!!!"

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, barely suppressing the urge to strangle Xia Ye.

Two fingers zoom in wildly on the screen.

Until the black rubber band on Lin Shi's wrist was exposed to Xia Ye, completely naked in front of Xia Ye.

She pointed to that spot, her fingers trembling, and roared through gritted teeth:

Are you blind?!

"Look here! Look at this wrist!!!"

"What on earth is going on?!"

"A rubber band! It's a rubber band!!!"

Natsuno was taken aback by the shout.

She looked in the direction Liu Ruyan was pointing.

Moreover, it was tied around Lin Shi's wrist.

"Buzz—"

Natsuno's mind went completely blank for a moment.

next second.

Her reaction was even stronger than Liu Ruyan's.

"Holy crap!!!!"

Xia Ye suddenly jumped up from his chair and snatched Liu Ruyan's phone.

The image was then continuously zoomed in and out.

Then.

The situation reversed instantly.

Xia Ye grabbed Liu Ruyan by the collar, his face filled with disbelief, and shouted angrily:

"Ruyan, Ruyan, what's going on?"

"What happened?"

"Where did this rubber band come from? What's going on here?"

"This thing wasn't there when I took the picture!!!"

"My husband is gone! My husband is gone! Waaaaah!"

Liu Ruyan was taken aback by Xia Ye's sudden counterattack, and the questions she had prepared were instantly stuck in her throat.

Looking at Natsuno's expression, which was even more shocked and devastated than her own, the anger in her eyes turned into confusion.

"You... really don't know?"

"This wasn't a gift from you."

"Isn't this just to annoy us on social media?"

Liu Ruyan looked at Xia Ye suspiciously, trying to find even the slightest trace of acting on her face.

Unfortunately.

Natsuno's expression right now was pure, unadulterated bewilderment and panic.

"How could I possibly know!"

Xia Ye loosened Liu Ruyan's collar, clutched his phone, and slumped back into his chair, feeling utterly devastated.

"If I really sent it, why would I post it on WeChat Moments?"

"Before the child is born, you'll have to see how things go before you can find me."

"Who is that?"

Liu Ruyan frowned, snatched back her phone, stared at the black rubber band, and said in a chilling tone:

"It's not you, it's not me."

"That expressionless Su Ningshuang only gives away financial products."

"Shen Zhixiao... Ha, if that madman wanted to send something, he would only send handcuffs or a tracking device."

Liu Ruyan raised her head and exchanged a glance with Xia Ye.

"GG!"
