Looking at Mei Hanqing, whose face was as pale as paper, Qiu Ruoxi sighed lightly and asked with a hint of concern, "Are you okay?"

As she spoke, Qiu Ruoxi walked over to Mei Hanqing’s side and took a seat on the sofa with her.

Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Mei Hanqing’s pale face showed a trace of surprise: "President Qiu, you found out?"

In Mei Hanqing’s impression, Qiu Ruoxi rarely paid attention to matters outside of work.

Moreover, Su Bingzhi had only just arrived, and Qiu Ruoxi came rushing over, clearly already aware of Su Bingzhi’s arrival.

"Huangtu Group isn’t that big, so it’s not easy to hide something." Qiu Ruoxi said unhurriedly, "Besides, I’m the president, how could I not know?"

Mei Hanqing took a deep breath and shook her head with a bitter smile, "Thank you for your concern, President Qiu."

"It’s what I should do," Qiu Ruoxi said softly. "I know you’re definitely not in a good mood right now, and I don’t know how to console you in this situation!"

"Why don’t I give you a few days off so you can rest and adjust?"

"No need!" Mei Hanqing shook her head and refused. "I’m fine, and President Qiu, your plan is still in progress. If I leave, what if something unexpected happens?"

"It’s okay. I can handle it!" Qiu Ruoxi said casually, "Take a few days off..."

"President Qiu, I know you mean well, but I’m really fine." Mei Hanqing said stubbornly, "Don’t worry, I won’t bring my personal emotions into work."

Qiu Ruoxi gave a wry smile, "Everyone says I’m strong-willed, but who would’ve thought that you’re even stronger than me!"

"President Qiu, I..."

"Alright, since you don’t want to rest, I won’t force you. Besides, that means I won’t have to worry as much." Qiu Ruoxi said half-jokingly, "You love to be a workhorse so much, I won’t stand on ceremony then!"

Suddenly, as if Qiu Ruoxi remembered something, she spoke again, "Oh right, after work today, I’ll treat you to dinner."

This time, Mei Hanqing didn’t refuse Qiu Ruoxi’s suggestion and simply nodded, "See you after work then!"

Seeing this, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t say anything more, stood up, and made a gesture to walk outside.

However, before she could take more than two steps, Qiu Ruoxi seemed to think of something, and her steps immediately halted. She turned her head towards Mei Hanqing and said, "If you need any help, feel free to come to me anytime!"

"Thank you, President Qiu!"

This time, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t say anything else and walked straight outside with big strides.

Just as Qiu Ruoxi reached the doorway, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The next moment, a tall and slender figure appeared in Qiu Ruoxi’s line of sight.

"Ye Xunhuan?"

Ye Xunhuan was slightly stunned when he saw Qiu Ruoxi. What is this woman doing here?

But soon, Ye Xunhuan came back to his senses and gave Qiu Ruoxi a cheeky smile, "Honey, you’re here too?"

"What, am I not allowed to be here?" Qiu Ruoxi snorted coldly, "Or are you disappointed to see me here?"

"No...not at all!" Ye Xunhuan quickly waved his hand, "I’m just a little surprised that you’d come here."

"So why are you here?"

"I...I came to see President Mei!" Ye Xunhuan said with some guilt, "I just heard someone came, so I thought I’d come and check..."

Qiu Ruoxi didn’t make a sound, instead, she looked Ye Xunhuan up and down with a meaningful gaze.

Faced with Qiu Ruoxi’s piercing gaze, Ye Xunhuan felt incredibly nervous inside.

This woman’s gaze seemed to have a magic to it, making you feel as if you had no secrets in front of her.

After scanning Ye Xunhuan a few times, Qiu Ruoxi still said nothing and brushed past him.

Once Qiu Ruoxi left, Ye Xunhuan let out a long breath.

He had thought Qiu Ruoxi would say something when she looked at him like that, but she said nothing.

Even so, Ye Xunhuan still felt very uneasy. Did she see through something?

Then Ye Xunhuan shook his head, casting away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and went towards Mei Hanqing.

Mei Hanqing had noticed Ye Xunhuan earlier, but with Qiu Ruoxi present, it wasn’t convenient for her to speak to him!

Now that Qiu Ruoxi had left, Mei Hanqing asked, "Why are you here?"

"Of course, I’m here to see you!" Ye Xunhuan didn’t hide his intentions and said to Mei Hanqing with sincere affection, "Are you okay?"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s gentle concern, a warm sensation filled Mei Hanqing’s heart, "I’m fine!"

"Has he left?"

Mei Hanqing nodded, "He told me everything. Xunhuan, are all men this heartless?"

Surprised by Mei Hanqing’s question, Ye Xunhuan was momentarily stunned, "Why do you ask so suddenly?"

"He said it was his decision to abandon me for the sake of family prosperity..."

As she said this, the bitterness on Mei Hanqing’s face deepened.

If Su Bingzhi had abandoned Mei Hanqing for other reasons, she might have understood, but to do so for profit...

Ye Xunhuan sighed softly, "How could I be like him? Rest assured, if we have a child, no matter what happens, I would never abandon the child..."

Mei Hanqing is at her most emotionally vulnerable now, incapable of handling any upheaval.

"Besides, my family has no tradition of abandoning children..."

Mei Hanqing gave a bitter smile, "Will we have children?"

"Of course, we will, that’s without question." Ye Xunhuan said assuredly, "You’ve seen my strengths!"

As he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan continued, "Alright, stop overthinking!"

"Don’t worry, I’m fine. You should go quickly or else people will surely gossip!"

Mei Hanqing didn’t dare have Ye Xunhuan stay longer. They had already run into Qiu Ruoxi, and if Ye Xunhuan stayed, there would surely be talk.

Especially considering her current status...

"Who would gossip?" Ye Xunhuan said seriously, "And so what if they do?"

"Besides, it wouldn’t be gossip; we are more than just ordinary colleagues, and how could I leave you alone at a time like this?"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Mei Hanqing was filled with emotion.

Though it wasn’t romantic speech or grand declarations, it was more touching than any vow or pledge!

Everyone in the Huangtu Group knew Ye Xunhuan was married to Qiu Ruoxi.

Yet Ye Xunhuan still stayed, not caring about anything else, to be with her.

He truly cared and worried for her, something Mei Hanqing could clearly feel.

Gazing at Ye Xunhuan before her, a thought couldn’t help but float through Mei Hanqing’s mind: "May you love me with all your heart, as I will never leave you!"
