Ye Xunhuan hadn’t been back at the Huangtu Corporation for long before Qiu Ruoxi took him straight into the office!

"Wife, what did you want to see me about?" Ye Xunhuan made himself at home as soon as he got to the office, plopping down on the sofa, crossing his legs in an L-shape, and lighting up a cigarette.

Qiu Ruoxi also knew that no matter what she said, this guy would just follow his own whims, utterly useless, so she simply didn’t bother arguing with Ye Xunhuan.

"Did you bully President Qin?" Qiu Ruoxi asked, staring straight at Ye Xunhuan.

Startled by Qiu Ruoxi’s question, Ye Xunhuan felt a sudden lurch in his heart. Qin Muge hadn’t told Qiu Ruoxi everything, had she?

Though he felt uneasy inside, Ye Xunhuan’s face showed no change as he calmly said, "Me, bully her? You must be joking, it would be a mistake if she didn’t bully me!"

"What, did she say something bad about me in front of you, so you decided to make things difficult for me?"

Qiu Ruoxi didn’t answer, but continued to stare intently at Ye Xunhuan, trying to discern something from his face, yet she was disappointed; Ye Xunhuan’s expression remained utterly calm.

However, why then did Qin Muge come back, hand over the contract, and look so down and sorrowful?

It wasn’t that Qiu Ruoxi was unfairly suspicious, but she knew what kind of person Ye Xunhuan was. You might fail to get him to do other tasks, but if you asked him to offend someone, he was an expert at that.

"Really?"

"Wife, look into my eyes. Do I, a person as pure as me, look like someone who would bully a woman? Moreover, you’ve been sharing a room with me for days, have I ever bullied you?" Ye Xunhuan said lightly.

When Ye Xunhuan started talking about indecent topics, a faint blush climbed Qiu Ruoxi’s cheeks, but she quickly hid it. "Stop dodging the question!"

"I’m asking you, if you didn’t bully President Qin, then why did she look so upset?" Qiu Ruoxi demanded with a stern face!

Ye Xunhuan pondered for a moment, then slowly began, "Maybe she’s on her period!"

"Wife, you should know better than I do. When a woman is on her period, she tends to be in a bad mood. Didn’t you act the same way last time you were on yours? On the 15th last month, I didn’t do anything, yet you still lost your temper at me..." Ye Xunhuan said earnestly.

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s face immediately turned sour. "You bastard, how do you know I... I..."

"It’s that time of the month, isn’t it?"

"Yes!" Qiu Ruoxi gritted her teeth and said, "Tell me, did you... you sneak a peek... "

"I’m not as shameless as you think. You even have to peek when someone is peeing, curious about their privates!" Ye Xunhuan retorted with a smirk. "Isn’t there a ’Su Fei’ in your bag, and it’s the ultra-thin kind..."

Before Ye Xunhuan could finish his sentence, Qiu Ruoxi immediately grabbed a file from the desk and hurled it at Ye Xunhuan. "Ye Xunhuan, you bastard, you actually went through my bag. I’ll smash you, you shameless thing..."

Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan swiftly got up from the sofa and ran towards the office door. Just as he reached the door, Ye Xunhuan turned around and said, "Wife, I really didn’t expect you to still use the teenage series, could it be that you are still..."

"Go to hell!"

As she spoke, Qiu Ruoxi picked up the water cup from the desk and threw it at Ye Xunhuan.

Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan ducked and closed the door.

After running out of Qiu Ruoxi’s office, Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath. Damn, he had somehow managed to bluff his way through.

It seemed Qin Muge hadn’t told Qiu Ruoxi anything. This woman wasn’t too bad; she quite understood the friends-with-benefits rule!

Since Tang Yurou had taken leave on behalf of Qiu Ruoxi, after work, Ye Xunhuan left the company alone.

Ye Xunhuan had not been in the parking lot long when a cold voice suddenly reached his ears, "Are you Ye Xunhuan?"

After hearing this voice, Ye Xunhuan slowly turned his head and immediately saw a graceful and gorgeous figure.

The woman wore a women’s tailored suit with tight black leather pants that made her beautiful legs appear even more slender and alluring.

Her long, dark hair casually draped over her shoulders!

Beautiful, truly beautiful!

This woman was indeed beautiful and eye-catching, but that was only if you didn’t look into her eyes.

Her eyes were standard phoenix eyes, slightly upturned at the corners, seemingly giving off sparks at times, but if you locked eyes with her, you would feel her gaze was as cold as a serpent’s, sending shivers down your spine.

"Who are you?" Ye Xunhuan asked, frowning.

"Wu Mei!" Wu Mei said, as if afraid Ye Xunhuan might misunderstand, she added, "The ’Wu’ as in ’Empress Wu Zetian,’ the ’Mei’ as in charming!"

It was a domineering introduction, akin to that of a queen, conveying a condescending air.

It was as if she considered herself as Empress Wu Zetian of Huaxia!

Wu Mei?

After repeating the name to himself twice, Ye Xunhuan said blandly, "It seems we don’t know each other, do we?"

Although Wu Mei was beautiful, Ye Xunhuan could feel a hint of hostility emanating from her eyes.

"We will know each other in a moment," Wu Mei said coldly. "Here’s my ID. Take a look, and if there’s no issue, please come with me!"

As she spoke, Wu Mei pulled a red booklet from her clothes and tossed it to Ye Xunhuan.

After catching it, Ye Xunhuan opened it and saw his pupils suddenly constrict.

The red booklet was marked with the words "State Security Bureau" and had a large official seal on it!

Why had the State Security Bureau come? And why seek him out, did they know his identity?

But that was impossible; even if the State Security Bureau knew his identity, they should definitely not have sent anyone to find him.

What exactly did Wu Mei want?

Playing with the red booklet in his hands, Ye Xunhuan softly asked, "What is this, and what does the State Security Bureau do?"

"Beautiful lady, are you from the State Security Bureau?"

"But isn’t the State Security Bureau American? Yet you are a Huaxian, and it has a pentagram. Does Huaxia also have a State Security Bureau?"

The State Security Bureau, for ordinary people, was absolutely secretive and unknown to others.

If Ye Xunhuan showed no surprise and maintained a normal demeanor, those in the State Security Bureau, with their cleverness, would surely notice something!

"You just need to know that you must come with me!" Wu Mei said coldly, "Don’t even think about refusing!"
