Was this old man ever going to give up?

Xuxu cursed under her breath and rolled down the window.

“Secretary Wen, I don’t know her name or number, so I have no idea who to send this to. Please deliver this to her on my behalf.”

District Head Liu pushed both boxes of sea cuc.u.mbers into the car.

He then hurriedly instructed the driver to drive off, “Stay safe on the road!”

The driver stepped on the accelerator as per instructed, and the car drove out of the garage.

District Head Liu waved at the departing vehicle, his eyes crinkling into a smile as he let out a devilish grin.

To think you can outwit me…

Hmph!

It was all right. Why would President Yan humble himself to help those laborers in the coconut farm just to borrow a boat?

She had a fever. Why would President Yan come down personally to bring her back, and be worried about her?

He had thoroughly looked into this.

To trust that she wasn’t trying to hide anything from him? Nothing gets past his blazing eyes of steel.

…

Wen Xuxu looked at the boxes of sea cuc.u.mbers resting on her lap, trying her best to speak but to no avail.

She must be delirious.

“Wen Xuxu, what did that old man give you?” Yan Rusheng turned back curiously.

He saw Wen Xuxu and District Head Liu’s tussle just now—whatever he tried to shove to her, she had profusely declined.

The windows were up, and they were quite far away, so he didn’t manage to hear what the commotion was about.

“Sea cuc.u.mbers.” Wen Xuxu’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly pa.s.sed the sea cuc.u.mbers to Yan Rusheng. “President Yan, District Head Liu said these supplements are for you.”

These sea cuc.u.mbers were for his girlfriend anyway, so pa.s.sing them to him wouldn’t make any difference.

No matter what it was, she would not accept those gifts.

Yan Rusheng instantly saw through her lie and warned her sternly, “I treat lying very seriously.”

He was sure that he heard that old man mention something about numbers and names, and wanting her to pa.s.s the sea cuc.u.mbers to someone else. And that person was definitely not him.

She had the audacity to pa.s.s these boxes to him?

“F*ck!” Wen Xuxu bit her lip, contemplated for a while and then eventually decided to speak the truth. “District Head Liu mistook me as your girlfriend, and he insisted on bribing me with these gifts. I already clarified that there was nothing going on between us, your girlfriend is overseas and will be back soon, so he… he…”

Yan Rusheng had already heard what was coming next, he didn’t need her to repeat it.

“What kind of gaze?” Boss Yan shot her a condescending look.

Yan Rusheng would never choose a girl like Wen Xuxu to be his girlfriend.

Wen Xuxu also added, “Indeed! What kind of gaze?”

Besides, it didn’t really bother her that someone had mistaken her as his girlfriend.

Director Zhang, who was sitting beside them all this time, said to himself:

A good kind of gaze!

Boss Yan started to get a little motion sick from the car ride.

However this time, there was no smell from the pungent air freshener, so he only felt nauseous and didn’t vomit.

When they arrived at the airport, Director Zhang’s secretary proceeded to handle the paperwork and they were ready to depart within ten minutes.

Once they reached the capital city, Yan Rusheng and Wen Xuxu would then transit to Country F, where they would then bid goodbye to Director Zhang.

There were still two more hours until their 8 p.m. flight.

They had a simple dinner and then headed to the VIP lounge to wait for their next flight.

Yan Rusheng picked up a magazine and started flipping through it excitedly.
