Ye Xunhuan noticed that as long as he didn’t come to find Mei Hanqing early in the morning, there was never anyone around in the PR department. Everyone seemed to be out, perhaps discussing business or maybe just getting involved with someone.

After arriving at Mei Hanqing’s office door, Ye Xunhuan twisted the handle. The door wasn’t locked, so he slipped inside and locked it behind him.

Inside the office, Mei Hanqing was sitting at her desk, seriously correcting something!

Today, Mei Hanqing wore daring black fishnet stockings. Her skin appeared snow-white amidst the chaotic lines creating a cut-up effect.

A pair of lotus feet rested in black high-heeled sandals, showing toes painted with red nail polish. Her ensemble exuded a mature, alluring aura, and her professional urban lady decor perfectly highlighted a kind of office girl’s temptation.

Especially, those long legs wrapped in black fishnet stockings elegantly crossed, easily stirring thoughts and creating a stronger visual impact than those office girls in small Japanese films!

Mei Hanqing was surprised when Ye Xunhuan suddenly burst in from outside, parting her enticing red lips in surprise, looking adorably dazed!

Ye Xunhuan walked straight up to Mei Hanqing and wrapped his arms around her neck.

Being embraced by Ye Xunhuan, a blush immediately bloomed on her fair, jade-like skin.

She wanted to evade but felt reluctant. Yet here, in her office and during the day, Ye Xunhuan’s body weighing nearly a hundred pounds was like a mountain pressing down on her, creating a slight physical burden and filled her with psychological pressure.

If someone were to come by...

Now, the fact that Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi are married is no longer a secret. If outsiders saw this scene, they’d definitely say Mei Hanqing was trying to seduce Ye Xunhuan for a promotion.

Although Mei Hanqing’s reputation was already quite poor, she didn’t want to be insulted!

Especially being labeled as someone who seduced the boss’s man.

Moreover, Qiu Ruoxi was quite nice to her.

"Why aren’t you saying anything?" Ye Xunhuan asked softly, wrapping his arms around Mei Hanqing.

"Will you let go if I talk?"

"No!"

"Then what do you want me to say?"

Ye Xunhuan chuckled: "You can say anything!"

"Why did you suddenly come to see me here?" Mei Hanqing asked curiously.

Although she and Ye Xunhuan had a relationship, he rarely visited her here and she also seldom sought him out, especially at such times.

"Can’t I just visit you here?"

Although Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing had seen each other often these days, they really hadn’t had a chance for any alone time.

"Aren’t you afraid someone will find out?"

"If people find out, whatever! It’s no big deal!" Ye Xunhuan said dismissively, "Anyway, they’ll find out sooner or later!"

"You’re not afraid, but I am!" Mei Hanqing sulkily glanced at Ye Xunhuan, "I don’t want to be labeled as a seductress who’s after the boss’s man!"

Hearing Mei Hanqing say this, a trace of guilt appeared in Ye Xunhuan’s heart: "Qingqing, I..."

Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s expression, Mei Hanqing realized she may have said something wrong and quickly said: "I’m joking with you!"

"By the way, why are you looking for me? Surely it isn’t just to see me, right?" Mei Hanqing skillfully changed the topic.

Upon hearing Mei Hanqing’s words, Ye Xunhuan slowly released her, somewhat embarrassed: "I do have something I need your help with!"

"What is it?"

"It’s nothing major, just a friend’s issue." Ye Xunhuan lightly said, "By the way, you also know this friend."

"I know?" Mei Hanqing was slightly stunned.

Ye Xunhuan nodded: "Jian Yunong, Miss Jian!"

Upon hearing Jian Yunong’s name, Mei Hanqing’s expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal.

"What happened to her?" Mei Hanqing asked casually.

"She has a son who wants to attend school in Jiangzhong City, and she hopes I can look after him. But as you know, I’m useless in such matters—I don’t know anything!

" Ye Xunhuan said helplessly, "Leading him down the wrong path would be easy, but guiding him to a bright future is quite challenging for me. .."

Mei Hanqing blushed deeply: "How could you undermine yourself like this!"

"I’m just stating the truth!"

"So you need me?"

"Little darling Qingqing, I think you’re quite suited to guide someone right from wrong. Why don’t you help me take care of him?"

Ye Xunhuan didn’t bother concocting some distant cousin story.

To Ye Xunhuan, that seemed like an old cliché, and Mei Hanqing wasn’t foolish, nor easy to deceive. Better a mix of truth and lies.

"Me?" Mei Hanqing’s expression changed slightly, "You’re kidding, how could I take care of him..."

As she spoke, Mei Hanqing seemed to remember something and continued talking: "What about Qiu? You could ask Qiu to help?"

"Her?" Ye Xunhuan curled his lip, "Forget it, she always wears a stern face, as if everyone owes her money. She’s not approachable at all. I imagine that asking her for help would only make things worse!"

"Little darling Qingqing, you’re so much better. You’re the kind of woman who seems very approachable..."

Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s compliment, Mei Hanqing felt happy inside: "I don’t believe you!"

"I’m telling the truth. You know what kind of person Ruoxi is—do you think she’s suited to do this?" Ye Xunhuan smirked, "Also, Ruoxi doesn’t know I know Jian Yunong!"

"Qiu doesn’t know?" Mei Hanqing asked in surprise.

"Of course, you’re the only one who knows!" Ye Xinhuan said heavily.

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you for no reason?" Ye Xunhuan calmly replied, "Little Qingqing, help me, please. You don’t have to do much, just give him a place to stay over the weekend if he doesn’t want to stay in school."

"Besides, help me keep an eye on him at school, see if he’s studying properly..."

"Is he bad?"

"Bad or not, I don’t know, but I definitely don’t think he’s great." Ye Xunhuan said seriously, "Otherwise, Jian Yunong wouldn’t send him to Jiangzhong City and ask me for help, right?"

Mei Hanqing thought about it and figured Ye Xunhuan had a point, so she nodded in agreement: "That’s doable, but he’s a wealthy kid, not sure..."

Ye Xunhuan seemed to understand what Mei Hanqing worried about, interrupting directly: "Don’t worry, if this kid dares to act up, I’ll kick him back to Suhang, not letting him stay here to bother us!"

"Alright, I’ll give it a try!"

As she spoke, a complex emotion flickered in Mei Hanqing’s eyes. She seemed to have guessed something, but wasn’t confident!
