Using power to force marriage

Upon hearing this news, Meng Xiangyi's heart clenched suddenly, as if being tightly gripped by a large hand, making it difficult to breathe.

"Zhao Jingnian is a very good person. If he accidentally saw a girl being harassed, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by. Whether it was Li Xiangyi or Liu Xiangyi that day, he would have offered his help."

It's only natural to fall in love with Zhao Jingnian, because he is outstanding and powerful enough, and possesses a kind heart.

"Love doesn't discriminate based on who came first, and I can't give him to you just because you fell in love with him first."

Ruan Fu didn't want Meng Xiangyi to be trapped by love. A PhD graduate from a prestigious overseas university should have a broad and open-minded perspective. She shouldn't always fixate on one man, let alone be heartbroken over him.

"His assistant accepted the brooch without his knowledge. The trouble you had at school was also handled by his assistant at his behest; he didn't even know your name."

Ruan Fu shattered the sweet dream she had created for herself.

Yu Ming checked his email this morning and saw Meng Xiangyi's resume, applying for the position of deputy general manager of the marketing department.

Her application was personally rejected by Zhao Jingnian, who believed that the Zhao family needed employees who were genuinely committed to contributing to the group.

Meng Xiangyi wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to him. Her mind was entirely on love, not on working properly, so Zhao naturally didn't welcome her.

Meeting Meng Xiangyi's resentful gaze, Ruan Fu remained calm and composed, saying, "Don't look at me like that. This is his decision, and it has nothing to do with me."

The two talked a lot, and all the misunderstandings were cleared up. Meng Xiangyi is a smart person and knows when to cut her losses.

"If you're willing, our Ruan Group would be happy to welcome you," Ruan Fu extended an olive branch to Meng Xiangyi.

But she didn't accept it. She stood up and straightened her clothes. "No need. I have knowledge and ability. I don't need your charity."

Meng Xiangyi had her own pride and naturally wouldn't accept the olive branch offered to her.

He took the brooch from the table, put it in his bag, and then bowed his head sincerely to apologize to her.

"Miss Ruan, I'm sorry."

Ruan Fu readily accepted her apology, "It's alright, I forgive you."

It wasn't a big deal to begin with, and she and Meng Xiangyi weren't enemies.

After finishing her coffee, Ruan Fu returned to "Xi Yue Manor" and began packing her luggage. She was going to leave for Nancheng in a couple of days, and the trip would be quite long, as she needed to finalize the construction of the branch of the rescue station.

Zhao Jingnian was also going on a business trip, and Ruan Fu, unusually diligent, thoughtfully packed his luggage for him.

He came home at 10 p.m. after get off work.

At this moment, Ruan Fu had already finished showering and was lying on her beautiful bed watching TV series.

"Zhao Jingnian, do you know how great I was today? I not only packed my own luggage for the business trip, but I also packed yours."

When she saw the man come in, she looked up, her face full of pride, like a child waiting for praise from her teacher.

"Mmm, that's great."

He walked to the bedside, bent down and rubbed Ruan Fu's head. "Don't overwork yourself."

Ruan Fu found this very funny.

"It's just packing my luggage, how could it be tiring?"

Zhao Jingnian cherished her like a treasure, so naturally he wouldn't let her do anything.

"I'm going to take a shower first. You can play by yourself for a while."

Ruan Fu lay on the bed, her two little legs swinging back and forth, continuing to watch the drama.

He showered very quickly, and was out in twenty minutes.

Zhao Jingnian's hair was half-dry, softly lying on his forehead.

She was wearing a plain-colored silk nightgown with the neckline slightly open, which was rather alluring.

"Zhao Jingnian, you need to dry your hair, or you'll catch a cold."

These were words he often said to Ruan Fu, and she learned them.

Men's hair is short, so it can be dried almost completely with just a few wipes with a towel.

"I'm healthy and don't catch colds easily."

He sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and wrapped his arms around Ruan Fu's waist, pulling her into his embrace.

"You're going to South City in a couple of days. I plan to take you there first, and then go to New York."

He has arranged a private jet and applied for flight routes.

"Won't this take up your time?"

He leaned in and kissed Ruan Fu's neck. "No, you're the most important thing to me."

"Zhao Jingnian, I'll be separated from you for many days. I'll be staying in Nancheng for at least half a month this time."

She wrapped her arms around the man's neck, pouting and reluctant to part, "I've never been apart from you for this long before. I'll miss you. And you, will you miss me?"

Of course, his longing will only intensify, if not more.

"I'll finalize the project in New York as soon as possible, and then I'll fly to the South Side to see you."

Ruan Fu was overjoyed upon hearing this and gave him a light kiss on the corner of his lips. "Zhao Jingnian, you're so good to me, I like you so much!"

She was always like that, showing him her love anytime, anywhere.

"Zhao Jingnian, I want to touch your abs while I sleep tonight. In a few days we'll be separated, and I won't be able to touch them anymore."

As she spoke, her hand had already lifted the hem of his shirt and slipped inside.

The girl's hands were soft and tender, and as they moved around his waist and abdomen, it felt like being wrapped in ribbons, arousing a tingling sensation.

His abdominal muscles are firm and sexy, and they feel great to the touch.

Ruan Fu was a little mischievous, touching him further and further down, her fingertips tracing his V-line little by little, her eyes gleaming with cunning.

It's clearly a deliberate provocation.

"Jingnian, your abs feel so good to touch~"

His hands were mischievous, and his mouth was mischievous too, praising him one after another.

"Jingnian, your shower gel smells so good~"

As she spoke, she buried her face in the crook of his neck and took a deep breath.

"Jingnian, why is your breathing suddenly so heavy?"

She knew perfectly well that she was an advisor.

She called him "Brother Jingnian" in a sweet, coquettish voice, which made his heart flutter.

Unfortunately, it just so happens that Ruan Fu is on her period these two days, otherwise he would definitely have taken advantage of this naughty little cat and made her cry.

His eyes darkened, tinged with lust, as he reminded her, "Xiao Fu, I hold grudges quite a bit."

Out of the blue, this question suddenly came out, leaving Ruan Fu puzzled. "Whose grudge are you holding?"

Of course, I'll remember her.

When he returns from his business trip to New York, he will definitely make amends for all the teasing and flirting Ruan Fu has done these past few days.

I hope she'll still be smiling this happily then.
