Nightfall was imminent, with the brightly lit streets bustling with cars and people like a flowing stream.
The skyscraper of the Huo Group stood out brilliantly in the night, serving as a landmark of Z Country. From within the harmonious scene came a scornful rebuke, shattering the tranquility, "Get out! If you cause more trouble, we'll call the police to arrest you!"
Two security guards in uniforms ejected a girl from the building, their mouths filled with curses.
Yin Qianxia fell to the ground, one hand clutching her abdomen. Wincing in pain, she let out a hiss before picking herself up from the ground. Glaring fiercely at the two security guards, she took a look around before storming off in a huff.
Just when the security officers thought she had given up, there came a loud voice amplified by a megaphone, "Huo Sichen! Your son is asking you to come home and eat!"
"You crazy woman, stop yelling!" One of the guards tried to grab the megaphone from her, but Yin Qianxia only yelled louder, "Huo Sichen! You coward, come out!"
Their comical scene successfully drew the attention of passersby, turning the entrance of the company into a gathering spot for spectators.
Seeing the commotion from the top floor, a man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window noticed the situation below. When his assistant entered the room, he asked with a frown, "What's going on?"
Yuan Yikai replied, "Security just called. They said a woman has been trying to see you for a while now."
Upon hearing this, Huo Sichen's eyes narrowed, focusing on the woman below. Although the height made it hard to see clearly, he could still make out her profile and reflected on it for a few seconds. He then turned to leave the room.
Following behind, Yuan Yikai couldn't help but ask stiffly, "Boss Huo, could it be the woman you slept with that night?"
Huo Sichen simply turned and shot him a cold look, saying only, "Shut up."
The drama downstairs continued. The security guards finally conceded, "Call the police, somebody call the police! This woman is crazy!"
In the middle of the uproar, a calm but imposing male voice emerged, simply stating "Wait."
As the crowd turned to look at the approaching man, the chaotic noise gradually started to die down. A security guard came forward, a torn look on his face, "Sir Huo, we apologize for the disturbance; we will handle it"."
Huo Sichen watched as Yin Qianxia, held by two people, gave the command, "Let her go."
At this moment, Yin Qianxia's hair was a mess, her skirt was covered in mud, she indeed looked like a madwoman.
Just now, she shouted "Huo Sichen" without any fear, yet now, when he really appeared, she was a bit timid, swallowing her saliva as she looked at him.
If she hadn't been driven to a dead end, she wouldn't have come looking for this one-night stand man.
She didn't want to go to his company causing a scene like a madwoman either, but today was the final deadline. If she couldn't come up with the money, her family probably wouldn't survive until tomorrow.
After a two-second stare, Huo Sichen shifted his gaze, coolly instructed Yuan Yikai, "Bring her in."
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Yin Qianxia pushed past the two security guards who were always blocking her, brushed off the dust on her skirt, and followed Yuan Yikai in.
Inside the elevator, the person she had been causing a fuss to see for hours was standing beside her, yet she felt incredibly oppressed.
The elevator stopped at the coffee shop on the second floor of the company. Yuan Yikai, who initially wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation, was sent back to work upstairs. Now only the two of them were left.
The air conditioning was too cold, and the already nervous Yin Qianxia couldn't help but shiver. He ordered two cups of lattes. Looking at her somewhat disheveled appearance across him, he took the initiative to speak, "What's the matter? Are you addicted and want to relive the experience?"
