Cry louder, I can't hear you.

When Yun Qiao got out of the car, she realized that Ethan had brought her to Shen Suwei's company, not his home.

"Miss Yun, please come with me."

Ethan continued to respectfully guide her.

Yun Qiao looked up at the Suyuan Building, which was even more magnificent and imposing than the Shen family's building three years ago, and followed Ethan into the building.

It's not quite time to leave work yet, but it'll be soon.

All the employees were eager to get started and rush out at the appointed time.

Unexpectedly, Ethan, the big boss and top executive, suddenly walked in from outside, accompanied by a young and beautiful girl.

Seeing his exceptionally respectful attitude towards the girl, and the fact that the two of them took the elevator directly to the president's office, everyone became very curious.

Someone posted in the company's group chat that Ethan had brought a young girl into the CEO's office, and the group chat immediately exploded.

[It was shocking enough that the big boss suddenly stopped using his wheelchair and started walking to work this morning, but this afternoon a woman who made Ethan treat her with utmost respect even came into the CEO's office! Good heavens, I'm going to bet you! This woman must be the boss's legendary fiancée!]

[You're really bold. Don't you know you shouldn't mention this boss's fiancée?]

Is the fiancée you're talking about the one who ran away?

[You're even bolder, daring to mention running away! Don't you know that's a taboo word in the company?]

Since you're all making such wild guesses, I'll guess too! Could it be that the boss has been pretending to be lame and blind all these years just to trick his young wife into coming back? Now that she's back, he's stopped pretending.

That makes sense! The way the boss walked into the company today was so practiced; he didn't seem like someone who had just recovered from being blind and lame after three years.

[Furthermore, the boss has a wound on his face, and it looks very strange. Someone who ran into him today saw it very clearly because they were close by—it's a bite mark!]

[Good heavens, there's so much information today! A bite mark! Who bit me?! How dare they bite the big boss?!]

It must be this girl! Who else could it be?!

Stop speculating. I've seen that girl before; she's definitely not the boss's fiancée.

[Oh? Kobayashi, you know who she is?]

As soon as the person named Xiaolin spoke, hundreds of people in the group immediately tagged her, urging her to speak quickly.

Xiaolin: [She's the eldest daughter of the Yun family in Haicheng. She just returned from abroad. I heard she's getting engaged to the boss's cousin. Although it hasn't been officially announced, both families have reached an agreement.]

How did you know such details?

Xiaolin: [My boyfriend's family is in business. Last time, I went to the birthday party with him and overheard something.]

[Wow, Xiaolin, you have connections like this?]

[So she's the boss's cousin's fiancée. No wonder Ethan treats her with such respect.]

[But why is the boss's cousin's fiancée visiting the boss?]

[Could it be that Su Yuan is about to have business dealings with the Yun family?]

Yun Qiao was naturally unaware of the discussion. After following Ethan up to the president's office, Ethan told her that the boss was in his office and told her to go in by herself before leaving.

Yun Qiao stood outside the office, exchanging glances with the dozen or so employees in the president's office for a few seconds before finally pushing open the office door decisively.

Shen Suwei was indeed inside.

He was wearing a black shirt today, looking rather composed and aloof. Perhaps feeling a bit stifled, his collar was slightly open, revealing his collarbone.

He was working when he heard the sound and looked up.

Upon seeing Yun Qiao, the coldness and aloofness in his eyes vanished instantly.

"Are we there? Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Yun Qiao walked directly to the sofa in the rest area and sat down: "If you have work to do, then do it first. I can go home first. Why do you have to make me come here?"

"Of course, it's because I want to see you as soon as possible."

Yun Qiao choked, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with his words.

He seemed really busy; after saying that to her, he went back to his work.

There were many documents piled on his desk, divided into two halves. Yunqiao saw him take the documents from the left stack, read and sign them, and then put them on the right stack.

The dozen on the right looks to be at least twenty portions.

I'm guessing these are the documents that have been reviewed so far today.

Seeing that he had to read so many documents, Yun Qiao remembered that he had said a few days ago that he was going to Haicheng on a business trip, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

It was definitely made up.

In reality, it just meant that all the work was postponed.

Because I was delayed for a few days in Haicheng, I'm now frantically "catching up" on work.

He's finally getting his comeuppance.

"What are you laughing at?"

Shen Suwei suddenly looked up at him.

Yun Qiao snapped out of her daze, stopped laughing, and looked at him expressionlessly: "I laugh when I want to, why should I tell you?"

He raised an eyebrow slightly and curled his lips into a smile. "Is the baby still angry?"

"I told you not to call me baby."

"Is Qiaoqiao still angry?"

"Don't you know what you did? Shouldn't I be angry?"

"Okay, so how can you calm down?"

"Let me go back to Haicheng."

"no."

"...Then why did you ask?" Yun Qiao said irritably.

"Besides this?"

Yun Qiao snorted and remained silent.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Suwei felt a little helpless, put down his pen, got up and walked towards her.

"Don't be angry, I have a surprise for you. I'll take you to see it after get off work."

Seeing him sitting next to her, Yun Qiao subconsciously tried to move to the side.

But as soon as she moved, Shen Suwei grabbed her waist and forcefully pulled her closer. "What are you doing?"

"Shen Suwei!" Yun Qiao frowned and reached out to push him.

The phone fell out of the bag during the struggle, and just then, Li Ruoyan's message popped up:

I'm fine, thank you.

Shen Suwei glanced down at it, his gaze deepening slightly.

"You were just in contact with him?"

Seeing his strange expression, Yun Qiao secretly thought something was wrong.

He didn't dare to talk back, fearing he would take his anger out on Li Ruoyan again, so he could only soften his attitude:

"I felt a little guilty, so I just asked."

"Is it guilt or worry?"

"...Shen Suwei, promise me that once I come to Nancheng, you will stop making things difficult for Li Ruoyan."

"Looks like you're worried," he said quietly, chuckling softly as he looked up at Yun Qiao. "If you want me to stop making things difficult for Li Ruoyan, you'll have to show some sincerity, won't you?"

“Pah!”

A slap landed on Shen Suwei's face without warning.

The office fell silent instantly.

"Shen Suwei, you're becoming more and more annoying."

Shen Suwei tilted his head slightly, remaining still, but spoke cryptically, "You hit me because of him?"

Yun Qiao tried her best to remain calm, her voice icy:

"You asked me to come to Nancheng, and I'm here now. You can do whatever you want, but don't even think about me trying to please you. I've said it before, I will never like you, and the more you do that, the more I'll hate you."

"Also, I forbid you from touching Li Ruoyan. If you dare to lay a finger on him, I'll kill myself!"

Yun Qiao looked at him defiantly:

"You probably don't want me to die, do you?"

Shen Suwei's eyelashes trembled slightly, his throat moved, but he didn't speak.

But Yunqiao had actually thought things through very clearly along the way.

Shen Suwei had grasped her weakness, knowing that she didn't want to involve unrelated people, which was why he could threaten her so arbitrarily.

However, Shen Suwei also has his weaknesses.

If she guessed correctly.

His weakness is her.

Since he can threaten her with her weaknesses, why can't she threaten him with his weaknesses in return?
