Through the thin fabric, Lin Huan could feel his burning body temperature and the vigorous, powerful heartbeat.

The solid feel in the palm of your hand.

It's abs!

Just as she expected, there were eight chocolate patterns!

She should have immediately pulled her hand back, but instead, she uncontrollably used force and pinched down—

Jiang Shiyan seemed to sense it, and his muscles suddenly became extremely stiff.

Realizing that she had actually taken advantage of him, Lin Huan was extremely ashamed, her face burning up. The next second, she hurriedly pulled away from Jiang Shiyan's embrace.

"President Jiang, I... I didn't mean to."

"Um."

Jiang Shiyan feigned composure and said, "I know."

He never expected that Lin Huan, who had such a cold and aloof personality, would pinch his abs.

This scene was witnessed by Bai Xuxu, who was walking towards them.

Thinking she had mistaken them for someone else, Bai Xuxu rubbed her eyes and looked again. Confirming it was Lin Huan and Jiang Shiyan, she stepped forward to greet them.

"Huanhuan, President Jiang, what are you doing here?"

Lin Huan's face was burning hot, her ears turning red, which was too suggestive to ignore. "President Jiang is injured, I've brought him to the hospital to get him treated."

Bai Xuxu knew that Lin Huan had agreed to meet with Jiang Shiyan to discuss cooperation.

How could you get injured just from eating a meal?

The thing is, she doesn't think she saw it wrong just now; the two of them were hugging.

Knowing that Bai Xuxu had misunderstood, Lin Huan explained again, "I ran into some thugs at the restaurant, and President Jiang came to my rescue. He was hit on the back with sticks by those thugs. Don't overthink it."

If Lin Huan hadn't explained, Bai Xuxu might not have started to overthink things.

But her explanation, coupled with her blushing expression, made it hard for Bai Xuxu not to overthink things.

"Huanhuan, with your skills, you shouldn't be unable to beat a few thugs. Are you... deliberately letting President Jiang play the hero and save the beauty?" Bai Xuxu whispered in Lin Huan's ear, using a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Is there something going on between you and President Jiang?"

Lin Huan, who was usually aloof, couldn't help but blush when Bai Xuxu teased her like this. "Nothing of the sort, you're overthinking it."

"Yeah?"

Bai Xuxu chuckled softly, "I just saw you two hugging."

This made Lin Huan even more embarrassed. "That was an accident."

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

It was rare to see the usually aloof and composed Lin Huan display such a shy, girlish side. Bai Xuxu found it intriguing and couldn't resist teasing her a bit more.

Lin Huan panicked and explained, "They outnumbered me. No matter how good I am, I can't beat twenty or so strong men. Jiang Shiyan came to my rescue and even got hit on the shoulder by those thugs with a stick."

"He was kind enough to help me, and he got injured, so how could I just ignore him? That's why I brought him to the hospital to treat his wound. As for what you saw of us hugging earlier, that was a misunderstanding. I accidentally kicked the corner of a chair, and he happened to be right next to me, so..."

This was the first time Lin Huan had ever spoken so much.

It was also the first time she had lost her composure due to anxiety.

Bai Xuxu found it increasingly interesting and gave a long "hmm," saying, "You're usually so composed, so kicking the corner of the chair is really quite careless."

"Bai Xuxu!"

Lin Huan sighed and rubbed his forehead, calling her by her full name for the first time, "It seems that spending too much time with Xie Lanyuan has filled your mind with all sorts of inappropriate thoughts."

"I didn't."

Bai Xuxu is very serious, okay?

Seeing Lin Huan's face turn so red, he didn't tease her anymore. "Then you and President Jiang continue with your work. I'll be going now."

After speaking, Bai Xuxu looked at Jiang Shiyan and smiled slightly, "Thank you, President Jiang, for helping my friend out of that predicament. Get some rest when you get back."

It's getting late.

She has not received a reply since she texted Xie Lanyuan saying she was coming to the hospital, and it is unclear whether he is still at the company or has already gone home.

Bai Xuxu was about to make a phone call to ask when she clearly saw a black car parked on the side of the road as she stepped out of the hospital.

A large crowd surrounded the car, making it impossible for her to see clearly. She recognized the car but couldn't make out the license plate number.

Thinking that it might be some important person or a popular celebrity, Bai Xuxu didn't take it to heart and dialed the number she knew by heart.

But the cell phone rang in the crowd.

Bai Xuxu frowned and took a few steps forward suspiciously.

Peeking through the gaps in the crowd, a familiar, robust figure came into view.

Jie Lanyuan!

How did he end up here?

As soon as Bai Xuxu pushed through the crowd, she heard a deep male voice coming from the microphone, "Wife."

"Where are you?"

Bai Xuxu looked ahead.

Jie Lanyuan leaned casually against the car, wearing sunglasses that almost covered most of his handsome face, but his sharp and deep features were still captivating.

He was wearing only a black shirt, with the top two buttons undone, slightly revealing his firm and sexy chest muscles.

The sleeves were rolled up to the elbows, revealing a forearm that exuded masculine strength.

Most strikingly, he held a cigarette between his slender fingers, puffing out clouds of smoke, and his flamboyant charm drew chatter from the women watching.

"Who is this man? He's incredibly handsome!"

"I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

"I recognized him too. He is Xie Lanyuan, the head of the Xie family who recently acquired Ming'an Group and also recently announced his marriage."

"My God! She's even more beautiful in person than in the news! With that face and figure, what woman could resist?"

"His wife is so lucky, having such a handsome guy by her side every day, she probably doesn't even want to leave the house."

"..."

Bai Xuxu heard every word of these words.

Bai Xuxu sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

This man!

Instead of going home, he comes here to attract attention!

"Go home," Bai Xuxu said into the microphone.

If she barges in now, she'll definitely be surrounded by onlookers.

At this moment, all she wanted was to go home and see what her mother had written in her notebook; she had no interest in dealing with these random strangers.

After saying that, she hung up the phone and turned to leave.

Jie Lanyuan looked up and saw her outside the crowd, and immediately chased after her.

Bai Xuxu walked faster and faster.

They arrived at the car quickly.

Just as she was about to open the car door and get in, a large hand grabbed her arm from behind, and a deep voice followed, "Let your husband do it."

Bai Xuxu turned around and saw that he had already taken off his sunglasses, his smile both wicked and alluring. Thinking of what the onlookers had said earlier, she couldn't help but purse her lips: "Didn't you drive?"
