"Look, I have come to see you several times and yet nothing has happened . It only proves that you have thought of letting me go, haven't you? Otherwise, you'd have sent someone to arrest me!"
"Excuse me . I believe you overthink . No one has come for you only because I have retired and you have nothing to do with me now . "
"I didn't know that you really stick to your professional ethics . "
Wen He arched the corner of her mouth, sneering at him, knowing that the more incorruptible he was, the harder it would get what she wanted . Swirling the water in the glass in her hand, she said, "Ultimately, the Huo Family gained its status virtually by its tie to the military . But now, with Huo Yunting in Thunderbolt Corp and Huo Zhenning getting old and frail, I believe that your mother would not be pleased about your retirement . "
She put down the glass, jumped down from the desk, and walked towards him . " You'd better not waste your time in Huo Family Corp . It is beyond resuscitation . Since the guy with the name Xiang has wished it, don't you think he has lost interest in the Huo Family Corp long ago? His focus is no longer here . "
"I know . " Huo Chen finally slightly casted his eyes on her . "Like I said, going back is not that simple . Stop dreaming . "
"Why not talk to the officer-in-charge, asking him to grant us a chance?"
She slowly leaned closer to him .
But Huo Chen quietly took a couple of steps back . "The last time you came, I had talked to him but he refused . "
Wen He was transfixed upon hearing his reply . All the while, she had been thinking that he did not take her to heart . Little did she know that he had tried to help . But since the officer-in-charge had refused, it only meant that Huo Chen was her only way out .
"For the sake of three of our lives, you should go back . "
"You should leave . " He closed the file in his hands and rubbed his tired eyes .

"No, all I got is time . I will stick with you . "
Lu Bai was still in the hospital after the accident . With a female bodyguard by his side, she had no way getting in to see him .
So her priority now was to fix Huo Chen . She was tired of hiding—she did not want to live a life like this .
"Well, up to you . "
Not wanting to waste his time on this 'plaster in human form', Huo Chen sat back down and got busy again .
Meanwhile, Wen He had learned her lesson and decided not to bother with his work . She sat silently on the sofa listening to music on her earphone .

After work, she saw Huo Chen getting to his feet . So she followed him into the elevator .
"Going home?"
"Mhm . "
"Would you please invite me over to have a cup of coffee?"
"I'm afraid not . "
"Don't be so cold . Woman wouldn't like it . " She turned to look at the reflection on the silvery walls in the elevator .

The side of Huo Chen's face was reflected off the mirror-like surface . He looked so perfect, refined and cold . There was not the slightest imperfection on him .
The elevator ground to a halt and the door slid open slowly . Wen He quickly pulled back her eyes when she realized that she was captivated by his good look .
The man beside her had first stepped out . Looking at him from behind, Wen He chuckled silently before following him to the parking lot and tailing his car from behind . Since Huo Chen did not agree, there was only one way to go about it—Mrs Huo, the old lady . Aching the corner of her mouth, she stepped on the gas pedal to close the gap between them .
"Second Master, we've got company . "
Sitting in the rear passenger seat and pretending to nap, Huo Chen heard his chauffer and turned to look at the license plate of the car behind them .
"Ignore her . "
"Understood . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
