"Why didn't you answer?" Wang Linruo impatiently raised her voice. This woman had an icy expression all day. She really didn't know what the old man had set his eyes on, making people feel annoyed just by looking at her.

"I also want to know if this question is true or not. Why don't you ask my mom and tell me the final result?" Helan Xue raised her head and looked at her in a neither humble nor arrogant nor cold manner.

"You …" Wang Linruo pointed at her in disbelief. "Were you resisting me just now?"

"No, I'm going to work. Please enjoy." Helan Xue ignored her and walked out of the restaurant, ignoring the curses coming from behind her.

"Bitch, why are you so arrogant? You're even inferior to a servant, yet you dare to act so arrogantly for me. If you have the ability, you can take care of your own husband. After entering the sect for two years, you haven't even climbed onto the bed. "I pray that other women truly fall in love with you. When the time comes, I'll be a mother to you. So what if the old gramps dotes on you? Just wait till you're done with your things …"

Helan Xue went upstairs to get a white duffel bag and changed her shoes in the hallway. With all her might, she slammed the door shut.

With a loud bang, Wang Linruo was frightened and her voice couldn't help but soften. "Bitch, did the door break? Can you stand up with me?"

Helan Xue walked along the road until she reached the bus stop. After waiting for a few minutes, the bus arrived and she sat by the window, looking at the scenery as she retreated. She took a deep breath and a hint of negligible sadness appeared in her eyes.

When she heard this news, she was truly shocked. A person with such a cold heart like him, would he even have a lover? What would he be like when he fell in love?

Can you laugh? Would he say a lot to that woman? Would she take the time to accompany that woman no matter how busy she was?

Helan Xue couldn't help but find it funny. Did he treat other women well? It didn't seem like something she should be plotting against. Even though they were husband and wife, they couldn't even be compared to strangers on the streets …

In these two years, counting the time they had spent together, they didn't even need to use ten fingers to finish counting. They were only playing in front of her grandfather, and he would ruthlessly take off his mask of hypocrisy.

She also slept on the floor because there was no sofa in the room. Presumably, it was her grandpa's intention to do everything he could to get them together, but the result was the exact opposite.

While her imagination was running wild, the bus arrived at the station. She got off the bus and walked for another ten minutes before she reached the company. At that moment, a black Ferrari sports car stopped in front of her like a running leopard. In the end, it was a famous car with good performance. It stopped at the moment it was said, without the slightest bit of instability.

The door of the car opened and Helan Xue saw first a pair of finely made black Silvano Latintanz leather shoes, then long straight legs wrapped in ironed dark gray cropped trousers, and a perfectly built frame with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

His originally normal facial features were now combined, yet when they turned into one, they became so dazzling. His straight, handsome eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eyes were as deep as stars, and his nose was as cold and proud as those of a westerner. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line, giving others a feeling of chills down their spine … Helan Xue could not help but notice that this was her husband, a man who had amassed millions of honor in one body, Helian Jue!

When Helian Jue saw Helan Xue staring at him without blinking, a trace of cold mockery flashed across Mo Lian's black eyes. Her thin lips slightly parted as her cold words pulled Helan Xue back from her thoughts. "Move aside!"

Helan Xue, who had regained her senses, quickly moved to the side and watched him walk into the company's lobby without looking back.

How long has it been since I last saw him? More than a month? After that night, he had never returned home. Even if the two of them were in the same company, their chances of meeting each other were minuscule. If it wasn't for the fact that she had sat at the station today and was almost late, she probably wouldn't have been able to see him, right?

As expected, beautiful things were always attractive. Just now, she was completely lost in her thoughts when she saw him. Thinking about it, she shook her head and walked forward.

There was a large group of people standing in front of the elevator, her gaze immediately landed on the CEO who was standing in front of the elevator. The tall and handsome man with his hands in his pockets, cold side lines taut, surrounded by an innate kingly aura, was standing in front of the elevator door. The assistant behind him was whispering something on his headphones, while he was only nodding his head indifferently.

The elevator arrived. There were too many people to sit on. Helan Xue, who was staring at him in a daze, was pushed aside and bumped into the person behind her.

"Sorry, sorry …" Helan Xue apologized profusely.

"No problem, I'm fine." Helan Xue raised her head and saw that it was Qin Yuning.

"Miss Qin, I'm really sorry." Helan Xue sincerely apologized. It was for no other reason but to fight for her this morning.

Qin Yuning smiled. "It's really nothing. It's just a pity that we still have to wait for the next electricity …"

Before Qin Yuning could finish her words, she was interrupted by Helian Jue's assistant, "Miss Qin, the CEO wants you to take the private elevator."

Qin Yuning raised her gaze to look at the man standing in the elevator used by the CEO. Their gazes met, and Helan Xue felt that something was off.

Helan Xue saw that Qin Yuning was looking at her with a questioning gaze. Was she asking for her opinion? Does she have a right to be heard?

Her husband, in front of her, had invited other women to take the elevator with him. She had no right to say no except to be a mute and invisible person. He was only embarrassing her. In the past two years, he had only embarrassed her more than anyone else, and she had long since become accustomed to it.

She smiled like a formula and said, "Miss Qin, don't keep the CEO waiting."

Her reaction was not out of Helian Jue's expectation. She had been doing this for the past two years, hadn't she? No matter what he did, even if he was intimate with those women in front of her, she would still stand by and watch without a change in expression, and even after she was asked to clean the messy room, she would not even furrow her brows. It was because she did not love him, and even if she married him, she only took a fancy to their family's money!

"Lan Xue, just wait for me. I will go inform the president and we will go up together."

Without waiting for Helan Xue to refuse, Qin Yuning ran off to ask for Helian Jue's opinion.

Looking at Qin Yuning's back, Helan Xue seemed to be deep in thought. She always felt that Qin Yuning did not look like her usual self.

After these days of contact with her, Qin Yuning had a basic understanding of her character. She could be considered a woman who restrained her intellect and beauty. When dealing with others, she would treat them appropriately and not be too cold or enthusiastic.

She had spoken up for her at the table this morning, and now she was so enthusiastic, and though she had a soft smile on her face, she somehow felt that something was wrong.

In the elevator, Qin Yuning and Helian Jue were whispering to each other. The two were so close that the employees of the past couldn't help but glance at them and guess their relationship.

"Hey, isn't that the new CEO's secretary?"

"Yes. No wonder he had such a high position from the very start. So he has such a deep relationship with the CEO! "

"Keep your voice down. It would be terrible if the CEO heard it."

"I'm speaking the truth, okay?"

"Sigh, I must admit that I do have the qualifications. Not to mention standing together with the CEO, it really suits her quite well. A man and a woman are created by the heavens."

"…"

The discussion continued, Helan Xue forced herself to turn a deaf ear to it, at that moment, the elevator slowly closed in front of her, her eyes opened wide, she tried her best to show a bright smile towards the man with a gloomy and cold face, Helian Jue, you want to see me cry miserably in front of you, then I can only apologetically tell you, dream!

She did not know when such days would end, but she would not admit defeat. Otherwise, she would have let down her grandfather's trust in her, and she would definitely not let him down.
