For Qin Ruo's avoidance of himself An Hengyu knew all too well. He also had thought at one night that it would be better to let go Qin Ruo, at the same time, let himself. But the next day when he saw Qin Ruo's face and saw that Qin Ruo was ignoring him, he could not suppress his anger.

How could he let her off so easily?

He would never forget the humiliation that she had brought him back then. How could he tolerate this woman's life being changed without any guilt or uneasiness? He won't allow the woman to marry someone and have children while pretending nothing had happened.

An Hengyu's face darkened, revealing a sneer.

No way.

In the afternoon, when Qin Ruo was told to go to Mr An's office, her face turned pale. In elder sister Niu's probing eyes, she asked carefully. "Elder sister Niu, can I not go?"

Elder sister Niu smiled faintly. "If you still want this job..."

Qin Ruo bit her lower lip and lowered her head, resigning herself to her fate.

Elder sister Niu's voice was very low. "Our company is owned by An Family. Yet it's rare for anyone from the head office to come here, let alone General Manager An. I didn't expect that not only has Mr. An been coming here a lot lately, but he's also got an office... it's really strange..."

Where Qin Ruo could not see, elder sister Niu lost in thought. For an veteran employee like her, who had worked in this company for more than five years, Mr. An was absolutely unattainable. She could tell from the first impression that Mr An had something to do with this new employee, but Qin Ruo didn't want to talk about it and always pretended that she didn't know anything.

Maybe she won't be here long...

Qin Ruo nervously knocked on the door of An Hengyu's temporary office. An Hengyu's indifferent voice came from inside. "Enter."

Qin Ruo took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Inside the door sat the man who was destined to hold her back for the rest of her life, the man who made her yearn and fear.

An Hengyu picked up the pen and put it down again. He gave Qin Ruo a flawless smile. "Qin Ruo, what game are you playing with me?"

Qin Ruo bit her lower lip and remained silent.

An Hengyu frowned and suddenly revealed a mocking smile. "You are very short of money, aren't you?"

Qin Ruo shuddered. She didn't want to lose her pride in front of An Hengyu again. She gritted her teeth and endured her surging emotions. "Thank you for your concern, Mr An. I'm fine."

"You're reduced to selling gold at a gold shop. Is it 'fine'?" An Hengyu was even more angry, obviously Qin Ruo is the kind of woman who would do anything for money. Why was she so miserable now? Wasn't it supposed to be at some cocktail party where he saw her on her arm with a paunchy old man? Why did he see her working hard, trying to find a job, even selling gold? Could it be that she didn't dare to seduce an old man for money because she had a boyfriend? An Hengyu's mood grew darker and darker as he imagined it.

Qin Ruo stared at him in shock. "You..."

"What? How did I know you were going to sell gold?" An Hengyu's tone changed. "Come with me today to accompany a client. I'll give you 50,000. Agree?"

Qin Ruo's eyebrows twitched. That necklace was left by her mother. She really didn't want to sell it. If An Hengyu really gave her fifty thousand yuan, she would be able to get it back.

An Hengyu saw her expression and knew that she was tempted. He narrowed his eyes and sneered. "And this..." He took out a gold necklace from the drawer. It was the one that Qin Ruo's mother had left for her!

Qin Ruo bit her lip and struggled. But in the end, she gave a reluctant smile and said to An Hengyu, "Thank you, Mr. An."

She lowered her eyes not wanting to see An Hengyu's expression. Let him continue to loathe her. She no longer needed An Hengyu in her future life.

An Hengyu's expression stiffened. Although his goal was to make Qin Ruo tear off the mask, he could not tell the mixed feelings when he heard her promise. Was it disappointment or relief? He pursed his lips and said coldly. "Okay..."

Qin Ruo was taken by An Hengyu to change into a white strapless dress, bring out Qin Ruo's pure and charming demeanor to perfection.

An Hengyu did not know why a materialistic woman like Qin Ruo would always give people such a pure and innocent feeling. But he knew that it was Qin Ruo who had bewitched him and made him lose face in the end.

Without a smile on the face, he brought Qin Ruo to the place where they had arranged to meet with Mr. Liu.

Sure enough, when he entered the room, he clearly saw Mr Liu's lustful eyes brightening. He endured the discomfort and nodded at Mr Liu.

President liu leaned over and looked at Qin Ruo from head to toe.

An Hengyu could clearly feel Qin Ruo trembling. She subconsciously grabbed An Hengyu's sleeve and then released it after a pause.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mr. Liu asked eagerly. "This lady is..." Although Mr Liu asked about Qin Ruo, he was looking at An Hengyu. He did like Qin Ruo. But if she belonged to An Hengyu, he naturally wouldn't fall out with An Hengyu for a woman

An Hengyu glanced at Qin Ruo. Qin Ruo's face was almost pale and transparent under the light. There was a hint of panic in her eyes that could not be concealed. Her hands clenched tightly and veins bulged.

"An employee of my company." An Hengyu said in a soft voice. A trace of despair flashed across Qin Ruo's face. An Hengyu's heart tightened, but she could not say anything else in Mr Liu's surprised look.

Mr Liu reached out to Qin Ruo and touched her hand before Qin Ruo could retreat.

Qin Ruo's face stiffened, enduring Mr Liu's big fat hands completely grabbing and even stroking hers. "Hello, Mr Liu."

Mr Liu didn't stop stroking Qin Ruo's hands, saying with a smile on his face. "Okay, okay, okay. Mr An always has romance luck. The company is full of such beautiful young ladies."

Qin Ruo's face twitched. It turned out that it wasn't the first time An Hengyu brought a woman out to eat with them. So that is what female employees at An's company had to be called Miss... She knew that it was An Hengyu's way of humiliating her in disguise--he thought she was a hostess.

"Come here, Mr An. Come sit here. Ma has gone to the bathroom. Mr. Wang also said that he will be here soon." Mr. Liu pulled Qin Ruo's hand into the seat, even with one hand trying to grab Qin Ruo's waist.

Qin Ruo smiled stiffly and turned back to look at An Hengyu. Seeing that he was indifferent to all of Liu's actions, she had no choice but to sit down with Mr Liu.

"Mr An's company is really filled with talent!" Mr Liu laughed, and Qin Ruo, who was sitting next to him, could even see a few gold teeth in his mouth.

Qin Ruo frowned furtively. She knew that An Hengyu had brought her here to be a vase today. Her task was probably to accompany Mr. Liu. So she suppressed the disgust and smiled shyly at Mr Liu.
