C72 Cold War

Jin Yanchen's gaze turned to Ruan Xihan. His dark eyes were like deep water, as if he wanted to suck her in. His bony fingers were tightly clenched, and he used all of his strength.

Just when Ruan Xi Han thought Jin Yan Chen had something to say, he turned around indifferently, not leaving a single word behind, as if she were a stranger.

Ruan Xihan's hand that was holding the dish trembled slightly before she placed it on the table as if nothing had happened. She had been distracted the entire time.

After a moment, Jin Yanchen walked out of the washroom. Without even looking at the breakfast that Ruan Xihan had bought, he picked up the suit beside the sofa.

Ruan Xihan sat at the table, her gaze never leaving Jin Yanchen's body as she softly said, "You drank some wine last night, so it's good for your body to eat breakfast in the morning."

Rarely did Ruan Xihan's voice sound gentle, as if what happened last night hadn't happened.

Jin Yanchen's hand that was picking up the clothes paused, his squinted eyes deepened, and anger filled him. He quickly grabbed the clothes and didn't even glance at Ruan Xihan, as if she was air.

Ruan Xihan's watery eyes dimmed, and a hint of disappointment flashed across his white face. He slightly lowered his head, no longer looking at Jin Yanchen.

Jin Yanchen took a good look at her expression, and suddenly stopped in her tracks. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up, and a mocking smile appeared on his face. His pitch-black eyes were filled with an eerie chill.

Having spent the night with that man, it was laughable to try to coax him with a breakfast!

"Have fun?"

Suddenly, Jin Yanchen's deep voice sounded in the silent living room.

Ruan Xihan suddenly turned her head and stared at Jin Yanchen's lonely and proud back. Her eyes were complex, and her heart was filled with suspicion.

Have fun? What was he talking about?

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Ruan Xihan's voice was as clear and cold as usual, not because she was afraid of Jin Yanchen's strange words.

Hearing Ruan Xihan's words, Jin Yanchen's anger grew. His black eyes shot out traces of anger, as if they could explode at any time. Clenching his fingers together, his knuckles turned white.

Pretend? Do you think I don't know what you're doing?

Thinking of this, Jin Yan Chen's voice became even colder, without any trace of warmth.

"Ruan Xihan, why didn't I know you were so good at acting?" "It's a pity that the Golden Horse Shadow Queen will not give it to you."

Ruan Xihan suddenly stood up from the table. With a few steps, she arrived in front of Jin Yanchen, her face full of anger.

Jin Yan Chen, are you sick? It was you who did the wrong thing yesterday. Why are you being so weird with me? "

Ruan Xihan was truly angry. Regardless of the consequences, she didn't care about Jin Yanchen's increasingly gloomy face as she suddenly raised her head, her eyes firmly meeting with the eyes that were filled with cold air.

Jin Yanchen's aura grew even colder as the veins on his forehead bulged, as if they would burst at any moment.

"You know what you did."

With these words, Jin Yanchen flew past Ruan Xihan and left in a rage.

Ruan Xihan stared blankly at the figure that had disappeared before her and the wide open door. A hint of suspicion flashed through her dark eyes.

Jin Yanchen's fierce voice and furious expression flashed in Ruan Xihan's mind.

"You know what you did."

What did I do?

Is he angry because I shouted about Si Jingchen?

Or could it be that he misunderstood something?

"..."

After all, she still had to face what she had to face. Even though Ruan Xihan had appeared to be embarrassed in front of everyone, she still came to the company full of energy.

Only because of what happened in the morning, Ruan Xihan was never particularly happy.

Although the staff did not gather and discuss the matter as they had the day before, they all had a different look in their eyes when they saw her.

Ruan Xihan didn't care about all this at all. Three years ago, she had received far more abuse and cold looks than this. She had long since gotten used to it.

Wendy walked over and asked in concern as she came close to her side.

"Xiao Han, are you alright?"

Ruan Xihan smiled and said, "It's fine, this isn't the first time something like this has happened."

That's right, no matter if it was at the wedding three years ago, or the Board of Directors yesterday, or even during her days at the nightclub, Ruan Xihan had been the target of countless looks and insults from people.

She wanted to hit him back.

She wouldn't let him off easy if he couldn't beat her.

It was also because of this that Ruan Xihan became increasingly strong. No matter what happened, she would not put it to heart.

Wendy looked a little hesitant, but she still opened her mouth to speak.

"I heard that the person who spread the photos and the person on the board yesterday who desperately wanted to chase you away were all fired. Even the HR Department's Li Xuemei was expelled."

Ruan Xihan was startled and a hint of doubt flashed across her face.

"Sister Wendy, is what you said true?"

Wendy firmly nodded her head, "Of course it's true, but I don't know whose idea it was. There are many supervisors and ministers who have already started."

Ruan Xihan's brain was quickly working, thinking about the person who might have done this.

The first person that appeared in her mind was Jin Yanchen, but as she thought about what happened this morning, she couldn't be sure.

Immediately after, the image of Si Jingchen appeared in her mind, but their friendship was not as great as it was in the past. Even Ruan Xihan did not dare to be certain of this.

For a moment, she couldn't think of anyone else.

"Sister Wendy, thank you for speaking up for me yesterday."

Ruan Xihan lightly smiled, and her tone was filled with gratitude.

She hadn't been in Hua Biao for long, and Wendy had helped her a lot. First, it might not be because of Jin Yanchen, but Ruan Xihan was still very grateful.

Wendy stopped and revealed a kind smile on her face, gently patting her shoulder.

"Xiao Han, this must be a conspiracy. Since someone wants to frame you, you must be careful."

Ruan Xihan replied with a grateful smile, "Thank you, Sister Wendy. When I find that person, I definitely won't let her off easy."

Her words were not only for Wendy, but for herself as well.

Since that person wanted to frame them, it was only a matter of time before those few people could do the same.

Every time there was an enmity, he would take revenge. This had always been Ruan Xihan's style of handling matters.

"Alright, I have some matters to attend to so I'll be leaving first."

Wendy patted her shoulder and smiled.

"Then go and get busy, Sister Wendy."

Ruan Xihan also smiled and nodded.

After Wendy left, Ruan Xihan went straight back to her office to deal with the Star of the Seas case.

Normally, Ruan Xihan would be able to wholeheartedly devote herself to her work, but today, her mind was filled with recent events.

Jin Yanchen's cloudy eyes appeared in her mind from time to time, and his words disturbed her thoughts.

Ruan Xihan put down the document and sat dumbly in front of her desk. Her brows were tightly furrowed and her eyes were empty as she looked straight ahead.
