Chapter 529

Do not blame him, as an older brother, for being ruthless!

If you must blame someone, blame Shu Xia for being so disobedient!

Y City.

A continuous rain had been falling since late last night and had yet to stop by this afternoon.

After arriving, Huo Jingyan held meetings throughout the night to resolve the current urgent situation with the branch office staff.

He had to appease the families of the deceased as quickly as possible, ensure the follow-up work was flawless, and use iron-fisted methods to thoroughly investigate the factory accident from top to bottom.

The meeting lasted for eight hours.

It was not until ten o'clock the next morning that Huo Jingyan finally felt at ease enough to go to the hotel to rest.

When he woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

He called the person in charge of the branch office to confirm the progress of matters, and then called Jiang Nannan.

"Things are being handled, they will be settled in these two days. What are you doing?" Huo Jingyan asked in a gentle voice.

Listening to Huo Jingyan report his itinerary and show concern for her, Jiang Nannan felt as if they had returned to the time when they first fell in love, and she felt wonderful inside. "I'm on set. Sheng Laoshi has a few scenes today, and there's also an advertisement shoot. Once I'm done, I'll go home to rest. You focus on handling things over there, and I'll wait at home for you to come back."

"Mm, take care of yourself. Call me anytime if anything comes up."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Jingyan pressed his throbbing head.

An inexplicable sense of panic welled up in his heart.

Clearly, he had already settled everything, and Nannan would not know about what happened a while ago, so why was he still panicking?

Could it be...

Huo Jingyan thought of Sheng An, whom he had seen that day.

It was almost a man's intuition; he could feel that Sheng An liked Nannan.

He had to make Nannan resign as soon as possible.

He did not like this feeling of being out of control.

Suddenly, a few knocks came from outside the door.

He glanced at the time; could it be the dinner he ordered had arrived?

He strode over with his long legs and opened the door.

A bright and beautiful woman stood there, carrying dinner packed from a restaurant, looking at the man before her with a smile. "President Huo, I've come to bring you dinner."

The moment he saw Ye Yaoguang, a layer of darkness immediately clouded Huo Jingyan's eyes.

"Why are you here?" Huo Jingyan's voice was icy, and his eyes were ruthless.

Ye Yaoguang's smile nearly faltered. She took a deep breath, remaining as alluring as ever. "My hometown is in Y City, did President Huo forget? I came back a few days ago and heard some rumors, thinking you would probably come. I accompanied you on a business trip to Y City before and knew you were accustomed to staying in this hotel's suite, so I came to try my luck. Can you not be so cold, President Huo? During this time, I have really, really missed you."

As she spoke, she took a step closer.

The faint scent on her body, similar to perfume, was like a soul-snatching fragrance.

The woman's eyes were like hooks, and her tight jeans and midriff-baring knit top, which accentuated her figure, made her look entirely like a temptress luring a man into hell.

"Doesn't President Huo miss me?"

Huo Jingyan's dark eyes grew deeper, and his originally icy gaze held a hint of desire.

The scenes of their indulgence a while ago were vivid in his mind.

Huo Jingyan's heart loosened. "Come in and we'll talk."

Ye Yaoguang's smile became even more radiant. "Alright, I knew you weren't that heartless, President Huo; you must still have me in your heart."
