Chapter 139: Picking Up My Boyfriend From Work

"Alright, that's it for our livestream today, we'll see you all tomorrow~"

Ruan Mian hung up the livestream as soon as she finished speaking.

Qin Xiulin was just about to step forward to say a few words to her, but saw her wave at a Simulation Human to the side.

"You, serve the guest some food."

Afterwards, she didn't even give him another glance, and walked excitedly into the courtyard with her arms raised.

The next second, Qin Xiulin watched as the young girl opened a virtual projection with a smile in her eyes.

"Huo Junze, have you finished your meeting?"

"Did you know I was going to call you?"

His habitually cold and indifferent expression bloomed with wisps of tenderness, and the voice he used to speak seemed to be tinged with the warmth of early spring.

It made Mo Mishu, who was about to enter the door, freeze for a moment, and then quietly back out of the office.

The stench of romance!!!

"Of course, I saw you sending me gifts!"

Being so generous right off the bat, sending 666 of the most expensive spaceships at once—who else could be as rich as President Huo!

When she spoke, she had the unique coquettishness of a young girl, her fair and tender cheeks flushed with excitement, and her every move was full of liveliness.

It was as if there were a rope tying him tightly, and the other end of the rope was in her hands.

He raised an eyebrow, the smile on his face tinged with helplessness and doting, "Mm, I can't see my girlfriend today, I hope she won't be angry."

The camera angle shifted, scanning the Lily next to his desk.

"However, I have been taking good care of the flower my girlfriend gave me, just as if she were by my side."

That pot of Lily was being well-tended; not only was it placed in the most conspicuous position, but a white stand with a railing had been built for it, and there was even a spotlight overhead for it.

It looked just like a rare artifact in a museum.

Ruan Mian was dumbfounded.

"There's no need for that, is it a bit too exaggerated?"

Exaggerated?

That day, after he returned from her place and brought this pot of Lily to the company, it had almost blown everyone's minds.

From the initial suspicion, confusion, and disbelief, to now, his office had almost become a place for everyone to check in.

Before, they would avoid him at all costs, and coming to report on work felt like heading to the battlefield.

But now, if you were to ask about the employees' favorite place, no other place would dare to claim first if his office was ranked second.

If he hadn't installed a railing for this flower, he really would have been afraid that their scorching gazes would have stared the flower to death.

"This is a gift you gave me, so precious, it naturally deserves it!"

Having the gift she gave away be so valued naturally made her feel extremely happy.

She didn't even know how smug Huo Junze was.

Others: President Huo, this is my proposal.

Huo Junze: Mm, how did you know this is my Lily, a real plant.

Others: President Huo, there is a meeting.

Huo Junze: I want to bring the Lily my girlfriend gave me.

Others: I'm going to have Nutrient Solution today.

Huo Junze: How did you know my girlfriend can grow Lilies.

He was simply feeding dog food to every employee equally.

Everyone said that President Huo was an old tree blooming, and once it bloomed, it was incredible; the stench of romance permeated every corner of the Huo Corporation.

"Then you must take good care of it, it's about to bloom, you mustn't miss it!"

Huo Junze looked at her shy appearance, and a hint of heat rose in the depths of his eyes.

Suddenly, a thought arose in his heart.

"Mianmian, do you want to come and see it bloom?"

As soon as his words were finished, the two of them suddenly paused.

Ruan Mian was somewhat surprised.

Did he mean... what she thought he meant?

Was he asking her to go to his place?

"What, what do you mean?"

Huo Junze's expression became more serious, "Mianmian, do you want to come to the Huo Corporation and take a look?"

She suddenly thought of her past life; before the apocalypse, people would judge whether their boyfriend was loyal to the relationship based on whether he made it public on social media.

Ruan Mian teased, "Is President Huo inviting a business partner to visit, or taking his girlfriend to see where her boyfriend works?"

After a pause, Huo Junze let out a low laugh.

Looking at her pink and full lips, he missed her so, so much at this moment.

"Of course, I want my girlfriend to come and pick her boyfriend up from work."

These words coming from his mouth inexplicably made one's cheeks burn.

"Aren't you afraid that after I come, everyone will know that President Huo is in a relationship?"

"Mm, I would be more than happy."

Huo Junze's eyes were full of anticipation.

How could Ruan Mian resist such a gaze? She nodded her head as if by magic.

It just so happened that she hadn't left this place since she arrived in the Interstellar, and hadn't seen the outside world.

Seeing that she agreed, Huo Junze was somewhat excited.

His voice even carried an impatient tone.

"I'll tell Mo Mishu to go pick you up!"

Ruan Mian remembered that she still had a guest here; since she was going to pick up her boyfriend from work, what would it look like to have someone come pick her up instead!

"No need, you just wait, I'm coming to bring you some warmth!"

After finishing the chat, she hung up the phone.

Yet, it left Huo Junze on the other end feeling somewhat worried.

【Huo Junze: Mianmian, let me have Secretary Mo pick you up. I'm not at ease with you coming over alone.】

【Ruan Mian: You have to trust your girlfriend, there's nothing to be worried about!】

She had hands, feet, and a mouth, so what was there to be worried about.

After saying that, she hurriedly ran inside.

Qin Xiulin, who was eating, felt her burning gaze land on him.

He merely glanced at her lightly, then turned his head away and continued eating the food in front of him.

After a long while, he felt a glass of Lemonade being pushed toward his hand.

He looked up and met Ruan Mian's fawning, smiling face.

"Mr. Qin~"

It was hard not to see that she had ulterior motives looking like this.

"Boss Ruan, you're offering courtesies for no reason; if it's not for a favor, it's for a theft!"

Some people's mouths really should be sewn shut; if they don't know how to speak, no one will mistake them for a mute.

But it didn't matter, she could endure it.

"It's like this, I do indeed have a matter that I need to ask for Mr. Qin's help with."

Qin Xiulin crossed his arms and watched her with composure, waiting to see what this mouth could say.

"I just want to hitch a ride, a spaceship; I want to go to the Huo Group, but don't worry, I definitely won't ride for free, I'll pay the fare, is that okay?"

In order to make this cold-blooded man agree, she even brought out her trump card.

She took the initiative to act weak.

She pressed her palms together, rubbed her hands, and her eyes and brows softened.

Her drooping, large eyes were filled with softness.

"Please, please!"

This was truly the first time he had seen Ruan Mian like this.

It was as if he would be the most heinous villain if he didn't agree to her request.

Qin Xiulin's large hand took the water glass, his lips curling slightly in a wicked way.

"Boss Ruan wants to bribe me with just this one glass of Lemonade? Isn't that a bit too simple?"

She knew it, this person was stingy!
