Chapter 69 was disgusting.

Chapter 69 was disgusting.

"If you had told me definitively that you wouldn't, I might have started to doubt it," Su Zhu teased.

The good times of those years cannot be easily erased.

Moreover, Ruan Ruan is a very sentimental person.

“When I tell you unequivocally that I won’t, I’m definitely reminding myself of that,” Jiang Ruan said calmly. “Or perhaps I’m just deceiving myself.”

Su Zhu was relieved.

As long as the cooling-off period is over, she will take her flying.

If Huo Zhizhou tries to interfere again, she can call the police with a clear conscience, since they will no longer be husband and wife by then.

After chatting for a while, the two went about their own business.

Su Zhu engages in a battle of wits with her father.

Jiang Ruan uses her spare time to draw part-time artwork.

The weekend has passed just like that.

She used to stay home every day and didn't realize how quickly the weekend went by, since life was pretty much the same every day back then. But now, she just feels that the weekend is too short, and it's over before it even begins.

Su Zhu came to pick up her child early Monday morning.

She claimed she had nothing better to do and wanted to experience what it's like to be a mother; if she didn't like it, she wouldn't want children in the future.

Jiang Ruan knew that she wanted to share the burden with her, so she gave her a loving hug.

She was full of energy when she arrived at the company.

I want to finish this project as soon as possible and get my commission.

This enthusiasm was shattered in less than half an hour. At 9:30 a.m., Su Anran and Huo Zhizhou arrived at the company together. She was dressed in a rather formal outfit and came to their office area with a smile to deliver a message: "President Huo wants you to go to the conference room for a meeting."

The company's regular meetings are held at 9:30 a.m. on Mondays and 3:30 p.m. on Fridays.

But Su Anran?

Who is this?

"I don't know, which secretary did Manager Tan assign to President Huo?"

"Who knows? They'll probably explain in the meeting later."

Amidst the hushed chatter of the group, they arrived at the conference room. Each person took their notebook and pen and sat down, their gazes involuntarily drifting towards the still-unoccupied head seat, their hearts inexplicably tightening.

A moment later, Huo Zhizhou walked in from outside the door. His hair was neatly combed, and the top button of his shirt was fastened. He exuded an air of aristocratic refinement and aloofness.

Beside him was Su Anran.

Huo Zhizhou took his seat at the head of the table, and Su Anran handed out the documents to them one by one.

"Let me introduce you. This is Su Anran, my secretary." Huo Zhizhou's voice was cool and indifferent. Everyone subconsciously pricked up their ears to listen when he spoke. "From now on, you will work directly with her, and she will report to me."

Everyone responded, "Okay."

No one noticed the ambiguous relationship between Su Anran and Huo Zhizhou, nor did anyone know about their connection.

As the president of the Huo Group, Huo Zhizhou would naturally need a secretary when he came to Yuanyi Games to experience life, and the project team members naturally took it for granted and didn't think much of it.

Only ginger is soft.

She knew that Su Anran must have brought it up herself.

The meeting lasted half an hour. Huo Zhizhou succinctly told them everything that needed to be said, and then asked everyone to report on their work for the coming week.

After the meeting, Jiang Ruan took her notebook and left without giving the two people a second glance.

Su Anran, however, was a little annoyed when she saw that Jiang Ruan hadn't taken her seriously at all and hadn't shown any emotion when she arrived. So she said to Huo Zhizhou, "I'm new here, should I treat them to a cup of coffee?"

"It's up to you." Huo Zhizhou had no interest in these things.

Su Anran: "Then I'll go?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."

Although I work at Yuanyi, I still have to deal with things at the Huo Group. Jiang can handle everything here very well, but... I'll stay a little longer.

Around 10:30, Su Anran arrived at their project office with small cakes and coffee she had bought.

She greeted everyone with a very friendly attitude, giving people a very approachable feeling.

"Thank you, Secretary Su."

"I should be thanking you. I'm new here and there's still a lot I need to learn from you. Please remind me if I do anything wrong," Su Anran said as she handed them the items.

Her popularity among the public skyrocketed.

People who haven't eaten breakfast are hungry at this time, and people who have eaten breakfast are also a little hungry.

"Ruanruan, this is for you." Su Anran held the cake in front of her, her attitude gentle. "Knowing you don't like chocolate, I specially saved a cake without chocolate for you."

As she spoke, she placed the cake in the box and the coffee in the bag in front of her.

Such an affectionate address and thoughtful words drew the attention of those around them.

"Ruanruan, do you know Secretary Su?"

"Have you two worked together before?"

The person next to them took advantage of a break to gossip a bit.

Jiang Ruan stared at Su Anran's smiling face, her red lips coldly uttering three words: "Don't know her."

Sometimes she really admired Su Anran's thick skin. How dare she talk to her like that in this situation? Wasn't she afraid that Su Anran would expose her as a mistress? Or was it because Huo Zhizhou was backing her up that she had no scruples?

Everyone: ?

The others realized that the atmosphere between the two was not good, so they didn't say anything more.

"Okay, okay, if you say you don't know me, then we don't know each other." Su Anran spoke in a doting tone, giving the impression that she was the gentle and considerate one. "We can get to know each other again whenever you want."

Jiang Ruan didn't look at her again and picked up the pressure pen to draw.

Su Anran didn't feel embarrassed at all, and pushed the coffee and cake towards her: "Remember to eat them."

Jiang Ruan felt physically nauseous and said, "Take it away."

"Still as arrogant as before. I'm leaving now, remember to eat." Su Anran deliberately said something that would cause misunderstandings, and even said goodbye to the others as she left.

Jiang Ruan grabbed something from the side and was about to throw it in the trash can when Bai Jian, who was sitting next to her, stopped her.

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Bai Jian remained calm as always, her voice audible only to the two of them: "Let's get back to work."

A look of confusion flashed in Jiang Ruan's eyes; she didn't quite understand why she was being stopped.

Bai Jian didn't say anything more, but just looked at her with the same gaze as before. In the end, Jiang Ruan gave in to her gaze, put down what she had picked up, and picked up the paintbrush again with her right hand.

The next moment.

Bai Jian took all her things to her side, and this time she said those three words in a normal voice: "Let's get to work first."

When her group heard her say this, they glanced at her subconsciously, and only ate their food after seeing that she wasn't staring at them.

Su Anran watched what was happening from a short distance away.

The plan was for Jiang Ruan to throw all the things she had given her into the trash can in a huff after she left. This way, everyone would think she was hard to get along with, and over time, if she added fuel to the fire, most people would gradually isolate her.

But now.

The plan exceeded her expectations.

How could Jiang Ruan, with her temper, actually tolerate it?
