Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Jun Jie, we are classmates and good friends. The most important thing about love is that both parties have feelings and chemistry."

"And right now, I don't want to be in a relationship, I just want to focus on my work."

"Thank you for confessing your feelings."

Qin Huanhuan politely declined.

Qin Huanhuan was so polite not because Zhu Junjie was now the heir to her company, but because she was always humble and kind and didn't want to hurt anyone. Besides, Zhu Junjie hadn't done anything wrong, and everyone has the right to pursue happiness.

Besides, Qin Huanhuan knew that Zhu Junjie was from a wealthy family in Beijing and was not like her. Everyone said that wealthy families were like a deep sea, and she did not want to lose herself in such a situation.

Zhu Junjie smiled generously and said, "Huanhuan, don't mind me. I was just joking. But I have always liked you. This is the second time you have rejected me. It doesn't matter. I hope that next time I confess, I can move your heart and you will agree to be my girlfriend."

Qin Huanhuan smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "Junjie, we've been classmates for four years and know each other too well. We both know whether we're compatible or not. I'm not your sweetheart, and you're not the kind of pig you'd take advantage of. Besides, with your looks and qualities, you can find any kind of girl you want. Don't waste your time on me."

"Hua Ying and Zhao Ruirui are both very outstanding girls."

"Hehe! You could consider either of them!"

Zhao Ruirui rolled her eyes at Qin Huanhuan and teased, "Huanhuan, my dear sister, you're like a panda ordering takeout—so shameless! It's one thing to reject Junjie yourself, but you're dragging me and Huaying into this. If Huaying and I were half as pretty and half as talented as you, would you even need to say it? The line of guys chasing us would stretch all the way to Tiananmen Square!"

Qin Huanhuan was immediately embarrassed and dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment on the spot.

Hua Ying quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Rui Rui, Huan Huan didn't mean that. You're overthinking it."

Of the three, Hua Ying knows Qin Huanhuan's situation best...

Zhu Junjie said magnanimously, "Zhao Ruirui, don't be angry. Huanhuan didn't mean it that way. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I'll take you to the Tourism Department to start your jobs now, and then I'll treat you to a big meal to celebrate your successful onboarding."

at the same time,

Inside the Maybach.

Xiao Zhan said to Shen Jun, who was driving, "Secretly investigate who Liang Yanhong's employer was more than twenty years ago? See if you can find out who Qin Huanhuan's biological parents are."

Shen Jun: "It's the president."

Xiao Zhan smirked and said, "Shen Jun, when we're not around, call me Brother Zhan or Instructor. Don't be so formal, okay?"

Shen Jun glanced at Xia Keke in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Xia Keke noticed and smiled, saying, "Mr. Xiao means I'm not an outsider. Shen Jun, just say what you want to say."

Shen Jun: "Brother Zhan, are you serious about Miss Qin?"

"You and she are not on the same level. Will this affect your future development and the interests of the family business?"

Xiao Zhan's expression froze upon hearing this!

Yes,

Do I have a future with Qin Huanhuan?

Xia Keke said thoughtfully, "Shen Jun, are you worried about affecting the president's engagement with Lin Ruoxi?"

"And there's also the deeper cooperation between the Xiao and Lin families?"

Shen Jun nodded: "After all, Brother Zhan and Miss Lin just got engaged. If rumors of an affair spread now, it will affect the cooperation between the Xiao and Lin families, and may also affect the stock market value of the two companies."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "It's impossible for Lin Ruoxi and me to be together. Last night's engagement was just a show. We all knew the truth and were just using each other."

Xia Keke: "Then you should still be careful. Lin Ruoxi is a very vengeful woman. Knowing that you still have a relationship with Qin Huanhuan, she might do something even crazier."

"In the end, it will be Qin Huanhuan who gets hurt."

"The key issue is that Qin Huanhuan has joined another company, so you can't really take care of her all the time. It's better to be careful."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "She wouldn't dare. Hasn't she done enough shameful things herself? Once things are settled, I'll publicly announce the annulment of the engagement."

Xia Keke said worriedly, "You need to be careful about this. You should talk to the chairman first and choose the best time to announce it, so that others don't have any leverage to criticize you."

suddenly,

"Beep beep beep..."

Xiao Zhan's phone rang. Seeing that the caller ID showed Lin Ruoxi, Xiao Zhan frowned and said, "Speak of the devil, and he appears!"

Xia Keke asked, "Is it Lin Ruoxi?"

Xiao Zhan nodded, then answered the phone and calmly asked, "Miss Lin, is there anything I can help you with?"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Ruoxi spoke in an accusing tone: "Xiao Zhan, what do you mean? Why did you leave me last night? And you went to the hospital to see that Qin Huanhuan just now, didn't you even try to hide it? After all, we just got engaged last night, and this morning you swaggered off to meet your lover. Where do you think I and the Lin family's reputation are going?!"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Don't you have any idea why I left?"

"Do I need to report to you who I'm going to see?"

"Lin Ruoxi, do you really think you're the future young mistress of the Xiao family? Don't you know whether you're qualified or not?"

Sitting next to him, Xia Keke could clearly see the hidden edge in Xiao Zhan's eyes. Her jawline tightened even more, and his sharp, knife-like figure exuded a strong killing intent...

Xia Keke knew Xiao Zhan was angry!

On the other end of the phone, Lin Ruoxi, oblivious to the danger, continued, "Without physical intimacy between men and women, where does the spark of love come from? God created women, and men created women. Women give sex for love, and men give love for sex. Why are you pretending to be innocent with me?"

"We're all wolves, so why pretend to be a sheep?"

Xiao Zhan sneered, "Heh heh, what a fine line, 'Why pretend to be a sheep?' You're definitely not a sheep; you're a she-wolf in sheep's clothing. You'll stop at nothing to achieve your goals, and you have absolutely no bottom line. Do you think I wouldn't try to understand what kind of person the woman who's about to become my wife really is? Do you think that by cultivating a devoted, lovelorn persona and proclaiming that you'll marry no one but me, you can hide your filthy nature?"

"Oh, by the way, how much did you and Uncle Lin enjoy yourselves last night? I bet you two are still entangled in bed right now!"

On the other end of the phone,

Lin Ruoxi glanced sideways at Uncle Lin, who was getting dressed beside her, and said through gritted teeth, "Xiao Zhan, it really was you who did this! You're disgusting! Are you even a man?!"

Xiao Zhan said coldly, "Whether I'm a man or not doesn't need to prove it to you, Lin Ruoxi. Last night's engagement was just a show, and we both know that. Now that the show is over, let's not contact each other again."

Lin Ruoxi immediately revealed her fierce side and shouted, "Xiao Zhan, you think you can dump me? No way! I'm your rightful fiancée. You better behave yourself. You should check the news. Congratulations, you're trending on social media."

Xiao Zhan was startled and gestured to Xia Keke beside him. In fact, Xia Keke could hear Lin Ruoxi's voice on the phone the whole time, and she was already browsing the internet on her phone.

It has to be said that the current 5G network is really fast.

Next second,

A trending topic on Toutiao (a Chinese news aggregator) is: "Beijing's wealthy heir got engaged last night, secretly met with his mistress at the hospital this morning, and the mistress is suspected of being pregnant."

The title was accompanied by a picture and text. One of the photos was of Xiao Zhan talking to Zhang Yingbao in the corridor. Although it was a side view of Xiao Zhan, people who knew him well could still recognize him at a glance.

There's also a photo of Qin Huanhuan holding a glass of red wine, which is a scene from last night's cocktail party.

Xia Keke saw that the article had been read over a million times, shared over ten thousand times, and the comment section was exploding.

Xia Keke reluctantly placed her phone in front of Xiao Zhan…

Xiao Zhan glanced at it, then said expressionlessly into his phone, "Lin Ruoxi, are you behind this? I'm giving you ten minutes to resolve this."

"Hmph, otherwise, I'll also put you on the front page, but your news will be a million times more sensational than mine."

Lin Ruoxi: "You dare threaten me?"

Xiao Zhan: "I'm threatening you!"
