The woman was obviously enraged by Xiao Ruoyi's words, and her eyes widened slightly. She walked to Xiao Ruoyi's side and reached her palm toward her.

However, before she could touch Xiao Ruoyi, her wrist was grabbed tightly, and then got suppressed by a force.

"Ah, what are you doing..." The woman frowned and her wrist was slowly bent back. She turned around and when she saw the man in front of her, her expression suddenly changed.

The arrogant look was covered by a slightly flattering smile. She slowly took two steps back and shifted her gaze away from Xiao Ruoyi.

Xiao Ruoyi looked at the man in front of him and said slowly. "Yichen, why are you back?" There was a tinge of tiredness in her tone, but Xiao Ruoyi still tried his best to hide her haggard look and tried her best to smile.

The woman obviously did not expect Xiao Ruoyi to know the man in front of her. Her surprise was clearly shown on her face. She picked up the documents on the floor one by one.

"Young master Bai... You know her. I was just..." The woman stammered, her eyes filled with panic.

Bai Yichen smiled and glanced at the arrogant female employee. "It seems that the He Group should really clear out its employees. It's not good to accept anyone. You have three seconds to disappear from my sight."

There was a chill in his voice, which made the woman shiver a little. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she still dodged her gaze and left in a hurry.

"Ruoyi, I already know the matter about the Xiao family. Why didn't you tell me?" When the woman left, Bai Yichen opened his mouth and gently patted the dust off Xiao Ruoyi's shoulder with one hand. There was a trace of pity and heartache in his eyes.

He was expected to return two months later, but when he saw news about the Xiao family on TV, he rushed back in a panic.

Seeing Xiao Ruoyi's haggard face, he regretted not paying attention to the domestic affairs earlier.

Xiao Ruoyi looked at Bai Yichen in front of her and tears finally filled her eyes. Perhaps now, Bai Yichen was the only person she could rely on,

And he was the only one in front of whom she could take off her mask.

Her lips trembled slightly. "My... My father..." In the end, she did not say the words that made her heart ache.

Bai Yichen's brows furrowed. From Xiao Ruoyi's desperate expression, he could roughly guess what she had experienced.

Xiao Ruoyi's eyes were lifeless. When she mentioned her father, she felt the world turn dark in an instant. Her tears did not stop. In the end, she bent down and curled up on the ground, covering her face with her arms, allowing tears to burst out freely.

She might as well cry for a while in front of the only person she could trust.

Bai Yichen slowly stretched out his hand and looked at Xiao Ruoyi's desperate look. His eyes were filled with sympathy, but his palm was still in the air. He didn't know how to comfort her.

"Didn't I tell you to go to the Human Resources Department? Why are you here?" He Yuzhe's cold voice came from the corner of the room followed by his footsteps. She hurriedly wiped away the tears from her eyes.

She didn't want He Yuzhe to see her tears and weakness because she didn't want the enemies of the Xiao family to have the sense of accomplishment to defeat her. She needed to pull together for the Xiao family.

Bai Yichen looked at He Yuzhe, but there was no excitement in his eyes but indifference.

He clenched his fists tightly, and the anger in his eyes also showed.

"He Yuzhe, you bastard." Bai Yichen suddenly took a few steps and grabbed He Yuzhe's clothes with one hand. He raised his fist and drew an arc in the air, hitting He Yuzhe's face with great strength.

With a muffled sound, He Yuzhe took a few steps back and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

He slowly raised one hand and wiped away the blood, with a disdainful smile on his face. "Is this the gift you give me after you came back? Bai Yichen, it's been a year since I last saw you. You have become bolder." He Yuzhe looked up at Bai Yichen and loosened his tie.

Xiao Ruoyi hurriedly grabbed Bai Yichen's arm and looked at the movements of the two men in front of her with surprise.

Bai Yichen and He Yuzhe actually knew each other, but she had no idea about it at all.

Looking at Xiao Ruoyi's confused eyes, Bai Yichen looked away. "He Yuzhe, how dare you treat the Xiao family like this? You clearly know me..."

He clearly knew that he liked Xiao Ruoyi for ten years.

He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on it were clearly visible due to his anger. He frowned with a glare.

"You don't know anything. Why are you judging me for what I've done? Bai Yichen, you're too self-righteous." He Yuzhe looked at Bai Yichen in the eye. When he heard the word "Xiao family," his eyes suddenly flashed.

He knew that Bai Yichen must have come back because of Xiao Ruoyi.

"Bastard." Baiyi looked into He Yuzhe's cold eyes and stepped forward to grab the corner of He Yuzhe's clothes. His eyes were slightly red from anger, and those words were forcefully squeezed out of his mouth.

"Brother, what are you doing? Let go of brother Yuzhe." The girl in white walked quickly from one end of the corridor. When she saw the scene in front of her, her smile froze on her face. She ran over in panic and grabbed Bai Yichen's arm.

Xiao ruoyi stood at the side, her fingers clasping the corner of her clothes tightly. She did not know how to face all this. All the changes were so fast that she did not even have a chance to breathe.

"Brother, calm down." Bai Muya gently pulled Bai Yichen's hand away. He frowned and pursed his lips. When he glanced at Xiao Ruoyi, his annoyed emotions were revealed in his eyes.

Hearing the girl address Bai Yichen, Xiao Ruoyi looked up. It was the girl just now.

She knew that there was a daughter of the Bai family, Bai Muya, who was Bai Yichen's sister and had been living abroad and had never had the chance to meet her. Now, they actually met in this way.

Bai Muya's eyes were filled with sympathy. She stood on tiptoe and skillfully adjusted He Yuzhe's tie with one hand.

He Yuzhe, on the other hand, looked at Bai Yichen without any expression.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Xiao Ruoyi's heart ached again.

Immediately, she felt ridiculous for her own thoughts. Faced with a man who had trampled on her heart, she actually had fantasies. Since they had already reached this stage, their feelings that had never existed and her wishful thinking should have ended long ago.

She looked away from He Yuzhe.

Suddenly, her shoulders were covered with warmth, and Bai Yichen's words rang in her ears. "Ruoyi, let's go."
