Chapter 69: 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 about to step forward to say a few words to her, but saw her wave at a Simulation Human to the side.

"You, go serve the guest their meal."

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 preparing to enter the door, freeze for a moment, and then quietly retreat from 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 loaded as President Huo!

When she spoke, she carried the unique coquettishness of a young girl; because of her excitement, her fair and tender cheeks were flushed, 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 shifted, scanning the Lily beside his desk.

"However, I have been taking good care of the flower my girlfriend gave me, 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 fence had been built for it, and there was even a spotlight overhead for it.

It looked like a rare artifact in a museum.

Ruan Mian was dumbfounded.

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

Exaggerated?

That day, after he returned from her place and brought this pot of Lily to the company, it almost blew the minds of the entire staff.

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

Before, they avoided it at all costs, and coming to report on work felt like heading to the battlefield.

But now, if you were to ask where the employees loved to go most, no place would dare call itself first if his office ranked second.

If he hadn't installed a guardrail for this flower, he really feared that their scorching gazes would stare 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 want to eat 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 President Huo was an old tree blooming; once it bloomed, it was incredible, and 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 bit of heat rose in the depths of his eyes.

Suddenly, a thought arose in his heart.

"Mianmian, do you want to come 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 letting her 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 the loyalty of their boyfriends to the relationship based on whether they made it public on social media.

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

After a pause, Huo Junze laughed out loud.

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

"Of course, I want my girlfriend to come pick up her boyfriend 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 President Huo is in a relationship?"

"Mm, I'd 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 had agreed, Huo Junze was somewhat excited.

His voice even carried a sense of impatience.

"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, this made Huo Junze on the other end feel somewhat worried.

【Huo Junze: Mianmian, let me have Secretary Mo pick you up. I'm worried about you coming over alone.】

【Ruan Mian: You have to trust your girlfriend, there's nothing to worry 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 good 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 is offering courtesy for no reason; it's either treachery or theft!"

Some people's mouths really ought to be sewn shut; if they don't know how to talk, 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 Mr. Qin for a favor 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 show weakness.

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

Her large, drooping eyes were filled with softness.

"Please, please!"

It 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 picked up the water glass, and the corners of his mouth held a hint of mischief.

"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!
