Meng Yu assumed that Shao Yan, as the vice president of Fit, would stay until the end of the banquet since the boss was unable to attend in person.

However, he miscalculated.

When Pei Rongrong had walked around the room and was so drunk that she still had a little sense left, she came back to find Meng Yu and found that Meng Yu's left hand was covered in blood, with shards of glass still stuck between his fingers.

"Ayu, what happened to your hand?"

Pei Rongrong sobered up considerably from the shock, while Meng Yu remained quietly seated on the sofa, maintaining the same posture, and said nonchalantly, "The glass is broken, it's no big deal."

Not far from where he was looking, Huo Xiao had already disappeared through the back door with Shao Yan in his arms.

After the celebration banquet for Meng's and Fit, the cooperation process between the two companies officially began.

Shao Yan was to take full responsibility for this matter, but 24 hours later she suddenly received a voice message from her boss on the software, informing her of an office meeting.

"President Han will be in charge of the cooperation with the Meng family. You will take over the next project."

Without any reason or explanation, the call was abruptly ended after a brief explanation lasting less than a few seconds.

Shao Yan was somewhat taken aback and frustrated. She had originally planned to use her authority to teach Meng Yu a lesson.

Unable to contain herself, Shao Yan went to find Han Yifei.

Han Yifei was in his office reviewing the company's financial report for the last quarter, planning to compile it and send it to his superiors.

"President Han?"

Shao Yan didn't know how to express her grievances.

Han Yifei seemed to have expected her to come, and nodded, gesturing for her to come in.

The secretary brought over two cups of coffee, and Shao Yan sat down opposite Han Yifei.

The boss said—

Han Yifei brought the coffee in front of him to his lips and took a sip: "Freshly ground, hand-drip, have a taste."

Han Yifei's unhurried tone calmed Shao Yan down.

"The boss has assigned the Meng family's project to me. Does Vice President Shao have any objections?"

Shao Yan didn't know how to express her desire to find an opportunity to acquire the Meng Group. She had only just begun, and it was too early to talk about it now.

"no."

She dared not question her boss.

Shao Yan didn't drink the coffee; she was already feeling bitter enough.

She found it boring and left on her own.

"President Shao—"

Shao Yan put her hand on the office doorknob when Han Yifei suddenly called out to her.

A glimmer of hope flashed through Shao Yan's heart, and she turned away swiftly and cleanly.

"Remember to close the door when you go out."

Han Yifei was not surprised to hear the deafening sound of the door closing beside him. He clenched his teeth as a sign of his prowess, looked down at the financial report in his hand, and shook his head.

Huo Lu's jealousy is truly extraordinary.

Shao Yan stopped interfering with Meng's contracts, but she learned indirectly that Meng Yu was not personally in charge of the project either, but had instead—disappeared.

There has been no news of him for two weeks, and no one knows where he went.

However, Shao Yan didn't care.

She only cared about whether she could swallow up the Meng family in the future.

Since she couldn't touch Meng Yu for the time being, she needed to think of the next plan and spend her time on Song Qingyan.

However, Shao Yan remained unhappy.

She didn't understand why, in these project coordination sessions, she felt she had done a great job, and in the last meeting with her boss, he had also affirmed her abilities.

Aside from the incident with Old Cao, she still doesn't understand why the military rejected her program design.

Huo Xiao came to pick up Shao Yan after get off work, and she was still sullen when she got into the car.

"What happened? Were you bullied?"

Huo Xiao noticed that she was in a bad mood, so he took out the tea he had prepared and handed it to her.

Unable to suppress her frustration, Shao Yan took the tea and took a sip. Realizing it wasn't an ordinary tea, she looked at him.

"What is this?"

"Ginger black tea with brown sugar water. I saw you clutching your stomach last night."

Shao Yan was startled and almost vomited.

I didn't expect him to notice such a small thing.

And that was after they had been doing it all night.

Shao Yan suspects that their frequent encounters have caused harm to the fetus, and she plans to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow.

Huo Xiao, however, thought she was having her period.

fair enough.

At least he won't suspect that she's pregnant anymore.

"I'll drink this later."

I wonder if any other ingredients are added to teas that are supposed to replenish qi and blood.

She can't eat just anything.

"You're on your period, drinking this will help relieve your stomach cramps. Sweetie—"

He brought the tea closer, and Shao Yan stared at the black tea in his hand, her heart pounding.

"Xiao—"

Shao Yan rushed into his arms and acted like a brat.

She even took his hand and placed it on her chest, letting him feel the fullness of her breasts, which Huo Xiao already had a strong need for.

He couldn't resist her initiative, and put the tea in his hand aside.

Shao Yan rested her head on Huo Xiao's shoulder and whispered sweetly in his ear.

"But I'm not available these days—"

Huo Xiao reached out and hooked his arm around her waist, pulling her up onto his lap.

Cheng Qian resignedly raised the partition. He wondered if he should just consider being Huo Lu's assistant. He really couldn't continue being a driver; he was afraid of getting a sty.

"It's okay, we can play something else."

He pulled her hand down slowly, and Shao Yan blushed. She could feel Huo Xiao's carefulness, but she still cooperated earnestly.

"By the way, you're in a bad mood today, tell me about it."

Huo Xiao suddenly stopped, while Shao Yan was still sitting on his lap.

It was rare for Attorney Huo to have a serious conversation with her, so since he had stopped, she tried not to continue.

"Boss—"

She stopped talking halfway through her sentence.

She had already been kicked out of Meng Yu's project by her boss. If she told Huo Xiao that she was in a bad mood because she couldn't participate in the cooperation with Meng Yu's company, he might make her unable to get out of bed today.

"Um?"

Huo Xiao seemed very interested.

"The boss said I'm very capable, but I'm on my period and feeling unwell, so naturally I'm in a bad mood."

Her tone suddenly changed, and Huo Xiao gently pushed up his glasses, his lips curving upwards at a forty-five-degree angle, and gave a soft "humph".

Since Shao Yanyuan wasn't coming back, she simply lay on top of him and pretended to be dead.

Huo Xiao looked down at the woman in his arms, and his heart softened for no reason.

His hand moved to her back and supported her soft buttocks.

It's fleshy and feels great to the touch.

"Then, when we get home, I'll take care of you tonight, okay?"

His words sounded serious, but they were actually incredibly lewd.

Shao Yan is used to it.

As long as we can get away with it, we'll let him do whatever he wants.

Shao Yan slowly became sleepy in Huo Xiao's arms.

Huo Xiao gently embraced her, his eyes behind his glasses closing as he did so.

With his little woman in his arms, he felt at ease.

All my guard down during the day vanished the moment I saw her.

Shao Yan was feeling drowsy when her phone vibrated in her pocket.

Several messages kept coming in one after another, and she couldn't help but notice them.

Shao Yan took out her phone, and to her surprise, a message from Meng Yu popped up.

She was startled, and heard Huo Xiao's even breathing coming from above her head; he was asleep.

Shao Yan glanced at him and, seeing that he showed no signs of waking up, secretly opened the message.

Eight photographs of jade antiques were presented to her.

The last message was from Meng Yu.

"Shao Yan, you know these people, right? Arrange a time to meet them alone. If you refuse me even once, I'll smash something to pieces. Don't push me."
