Wen Xinyi wasn't about to take this lying down, and she raised her voice . "She went overboard by falling asleep during the meeting . Do you know how much time and effort I spent preparing the proposal?"
Ming Ansheng could hardly believe his ears . Wen Xuxu rarely made any slip-ups during work, and she was always very meticulous . Why would she doze off during a meeting?
As he narrowed his eyes in suspicion, Wen Xinyi was choking up with emotion once again . "Yan Rusheng even stopped the meeting halfway so that she could sleep in peace . We all had to sneak out of the room like thieves . "
Ming Ansheng felt even more shocked . . .
He'd always known that Yan Rusheng and Wen Xuxu's loathing for each other wasn't real . After all, they had grown up together since they were kids; even if there weren't any romantic feelings between them, they were still like family .
With the exception of Fang Jiayin, who possessed a special spot in Yan Rusheng's heart, any woman who provoked Wen Xuxu would never escape unscathed .
Ouyang Qingqing was an excellent example .

But Yan Rusheng had always protected Wen Xuxu in a subtle way . Why did he do it so obviously this time around?
He'd stopped the Board of Directors meeting just so she could continue sleeping . . .
An ancient story suddenly popped up in his mind, of a king who replaced his queen with his beloved concubine—Fire Beacon Of The Warlords .
However, Wen Xuxu wasn't Yan Rusheng's beloved concubine, Baosi .
Young Master Ming furrowed his eyebrows, deep in thought . He was oblivious to the rest of the conversation between Wen Xinyi and Ming Zhongsheng .
. . .
"Wen Xuxu, get me coffee . " It was nearly evening, and Yan Rusheng came out of his office with his cup . "Prepare yourself . We're going on a trip to the suburbs tonight . "

Xuxu was about to take the cup when she heard his instructions . She glanced at him doubtfully .
Why is he going to the suburbs at night?
Usually, his social engagements went through her first . She didn't recall seeing anything on his schedule tonight .
Yan Rusheng's voice broke her train of thought . "I've just received news . It's the mayor's daughter's birthday . "
"Oh . " Xuxu felt bewildered for a moment .
Why was the young master attending the mayor's daughter's birthday celebration?
She remembered that he didn't attend the mayor's birthday previously and merely sent a gift over .
Yan Rusheng lifted his eyebrows coolly . "Why are you still standing here? Go get me my coffee . "
"Oh . " Xuxu received the cup from him and rose to head to the pantry .
"Stupid woman . " Yan Rusheng shook his head behind Xuxu's back, and there was a sly glint in his eyes .
No matter how he looked at Wen Xuxu now, he felt that she was beautiful and attractive .
Without a doubt . . . it was imperative that he eliminated Jiang Zhuoheng first .
. . .
Yan Rusheng didn't call for the chauffeur and drove them there instead . As usual, Xuxu sat at the back .
He drove to a carpark at the basement of a shopping mall .
Wen Xuxu was puzzled . "President Yan, aren't we going to the suburbs?
Why are we heading to the mall?
Yan Rusheng parked his car and turned around to answer her . "How can we go empty-handed to a birthday party?"
Without waiting for her response, he unfastened his seatbelt and got off the car .
It was unimaginable for him to buy a present . . . for the mayor's daughter . Xuxu was flabbergasted .
Not only was he attending the celebration, but he was even selecting a present for the mayor's daughter personally .
After Xuxu got over her shock, she felt her heart turning cold .
