"You're joking, right? The pay you offered wouldn't even attract a second-tier brand. What reason would my company have to refuse?" Xia Xue slammed the contract shut with a snap and smiled at Xiang Wan as she extended her hand. "Honestly, I wasn't really interested in the money, but since I owe you a favor, I have to repay it. A foot bath? Give that to me, it's no problem at all."

Hearing her words, 向晚 (Xiang Wan) put her heart at ease and got up to shake her hand.

Then, let's cooperate pleasantly, Ms. Xia.

After signing a series of contracts,向晚 briefed Xia Xue on some work details and called her manager to coordinate the schedule for tomorrow's free time before they both left.

Millie only understood her plan inside the private room, and she followed her with admiration in her eyes. She eagerly asked, "Director Xiang, you're so amazing! I guess I still have a lot to learn from you. I saw that you didn't eat anything at the venue just now. Would you like me to book a restaurant?"

"No, I still have to go home and hug my child." Xiang Wan rubbed her sore neck, unable to express the comfort she felt both physically and mentally. Her lips curled slightly, "You've worked hard tonight too, go eat, the company will reimburse you."

"Okay!" Millie chirped happily.

As the two were about to leave, 向晚 scanned the empty hall but couldn't find He Hanchuan anywhere. Her brows furrowed with worry.

Generally, he would absolutely never leave himself alone, but what about people now?

"Ouch, I'm going to die! You guys slow down…" At that moment, medical personnel wheeled Zhong Shaoning out from backstage. His entire left arm was broken and dangled limply from his chest.

When A-wei saw this scene, her heart suddenly tightened.

What's going on? Could it be that Xia Xue found someone else to beat him up again? But thinking about it carefully, she wouldn't consider this comprehensively.

When Zhong Shao Ning passed by her, Xiang Wan took a step forward, just about to greet him—

He saw him panic and lower his head, calling out almost hoarsely, "Come on, hurry up! I don't want to see her, I don't want to die!"

Completely avoiding her like a venomous snake, medical personnel hurried their pace, carrying him away.

<<< Towards evening watching them leave, her face showed a look of bewilderment. Even Millie standing beside her couldn't help but curiously ask, "Strange, what did you do to Mr. Zhong, Vice President Xiang? He hasn't always been so arrogant in front of you. Why is he now behaving like a mouse seeing a cat?"

向晚 did not answer, watching as Zhong Shaoning was carried away in the ambulance, secretly thinking to herself.

Finally...almost understand who did it to Zhong Shaoning's arm!

"Is work done yet?"

As she was deep in thought, a low and magnetic male voice suddenly came from behind her. He had just walked out of the restroom and habitually tightened his arms around Xiang Wan's slender waist.

"Well, the driver should be outside, shouldn't he?" Xiangwan replied absentmindedly, not revealing too much emotion.

But she deliberately pressed her forehead against He Hanchuan's solid chest. Sure enough, although He Hanchuan had already cleaned up, he could still smell a faint metallic scent from his breath.

It's not easy to hail a cab here.向晚 suggested giving 米莉 a ride, but the latter, who had never experienced such a big city before, felt quite awkward sitting in front of 贺寒川. Her forehead was covered in beads of sweat.

The atmosphere in the car was awkward. Yǎn Wǎn hid her thoughts and didn't speak, while Hé Hánchuān acted as if Mìlì didn't exist, calmly playing with his phone while hugging Yǎn Wǎn's waist.

Not until they reached the city center square did Millie, with a sigh of relief, hurriedly bid farewell and leave.

Soon, the car started up again, and only then did Xiang Wan break the silence, "He Hanchuan, if I'm not mistaken, Zhong Shaoning's arm was dislocated by you, wasn't it?"

At her words, He Hanchuan's hand flipping through his phone paused slightly. He responded with a light "Hmm," his voice as usual, "He touched you, this is just punishment for him."

Punishment?

To have an arm ripped off is merely a punishment.

Toward Evening's eyes sank subtly, perhaps because she had lived under the protection of her marriage for several years, so she gradually forgot about He Hanchuan's ruthlessness.

But the Zhong and He families have some cooperative relationships, and although Zhong Shaoning is foolish, he still somewhat upholds the face of the Zhong family. To make such a scene so stiff is too unsightly.

"What's wrong? Scared?" Looking at Xiang Wan's tense face, He Hanchuan couldn't help but put down his phone and looked deeply into her eyes.

W向晚 shook her head, but unconsciously shifted her body to the other side of the car, twisting her head towards the window to conceal the discomfort in her eyes.

Looking at her movements, He Hanchuan's handsome face grew increasingly grim. He forcefully held her face, "Xiang Wan, I'm never a good person, but remember, I will never hurt you."

When it came to the word "harm," Xiangwan couldn't help but think back to her past experiences. Although these memories had long been buried, they still existed, waiting for a spark to ignite them!

"Well, I'm just a bit carsick." Xiang Wan's attitude was slightly cold as she leaned against He Hanchuan's chest, gently pushing him away.

"…“

Knowing full well that it was an excuse, He Hanchuan's brow and eyes were weighed down with a heavy gloom. Yet... he was helplessly powerless against this woman!

Damn.

It was because he knew that Wanye would react this way, and fearing she would overthink it, Helian Chuan chose to punish Zhong Shaoning secretly.

Ever since she had Yanyan, she became more vigilant and sensitive to everything. This time, it's probably because she was scared again.

Along the way, there was an unexpected and taciturn silence.

Back at the He family, as soon as she entered, she saw Yan Bao being held by the nanny in the living room playing games. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the nanny excitedly raised her head.

"Sir, Madam, welcome back," she greeted with a smile.

When Xiang Bao appeared, the weariness that had plagued Yán Wǎn all evening vanished instantly. She hummed in response, disinfecting at the doorway as she spoke, "Did Xiáng Bǎo behave well today?"

"Of course, the young master's personality is unknown to whom it comes from. He was born optimistic and rarely makes trouble." The wet nurse chuckled in response, and as she spoke, she brought Yán Bǎo to Xiāng Wǎn's side.

The little guy's chubby hand was clutching a small bell, his black obsidian eyes bright like stars. Seeing her, he shook the bell and smiled, "Mom~"

"Good baby, Mommy hugs you~" 向晚 beamed with tenderness, patted her hand, and was about to take 言宝 from the nanny's arms.
