Huo Rulie took a few steps towards the stairs, then stopped, as if she shouldn't be walking away like this. Huo Lianqing quietly walked to the door of Ambrose's room and turned the lock. The door was actually open. Huo Rulie pushed the door open and looked inside. There was no one on the bed, and there seemed to be no one in the room.

Huo Rulie pushed the door open and walked in. The room was empty, and indeed, there was no one inside. He turned around and was about to leave when he bumped into An Bowen. Huo Lianqing immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. A pair of hawk-like eyes stared straight at her. Huo Rulie felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"What are you doing in my room?" There was a dignity in his voice that could not be ignored, and his tone was cold and stern.

"I'll tell you guys to eat." Although Huo Lianqing was frightened by Ambrose for a moment, she quickly regained her composure and calmly replied.

"Is that so? You want us to eat? " An Bowen had a charming yet mischievous smile on his face, as if he was carrying a hint of penetrating power that could see through all of Huo Rulie's thoughts.

Huo Lianqing looked at him calmly without a single ripple on her face. An Bowen suddenly smiled. Huo Lianqing felt a cold breeze blow against her back, yet he had already taken her hand.

"Let's go and eat." Huo Lianqing was pulled downstairs to the dining room in a moment of hesitation. The sun was shining brightly on the dining table through the window, and the room was filled with the fragrance of flowers. There was a red rose in the vase, and even some dewdrops from the morning sun were shining on the petals, glistening and glistening.

Huo Rulie was eating her breakfast as usual with her head down as if there was no one around. It was as if Ambrose's gaze was always on her, causing her to feel a little hot. She was wearing a short, bright yellow skirt and looked very pure and cute. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail and then rolled up.

However, she still wore a long string of earrings, as if it was a habit of hers.

"What are you going to do today?" Umbo broke the silence between them and asked Huo Lianqing.

"What can I do?" There was still a hint of provocation in his tone.

"Perhaps you should speak to me in a friendly manner and ask me to remind you of our relationship?" An Bowen slightly raised his thick eyebrows, a frivolous smile on his face.

"No need, I know our relationship, that's why I'm asking you what I can do. In the days that you weren't here, I have been quietly and obediently staying here. " Even when you brought back another woman, I didn't say anything. Huo Lianqing only spoke these words in her heart. However, it seemed as if An Bowen had seen through her thoughts with a slight frown on his face.

"This is your exclusive territory. You can go in and out of here freely. If you go out on the streets, my driver can take you there. I will not bring outsiders, and you will not bring your friends here. Nothing happened to the woman from last night, because I won't easily bring her here. "

An Bowen feigned understatement and told him nothing had happened between him and the woman last night. As she observed Huo Lianqing's reaction, her heart tightened. She couldn't care less about what had happened between them last night. Why did he care so much about his private life? He was just her lover, not to mention, he was only a token player right now.

An Bowen absentmindedly chatted with Huo Lianqing about other things. Huo Lianqing didn't say a word. Today, he was in high spirits. After breakfast, he let Huo Lianqing accompany him to the courtyard for tea.

He leisurely sat under the umbrella and enjoyed the warm sunlight and the bestowal from nature. It was indeed a comfortable thing to see, but this man really did know how to enjoy it. However, Huo Rulie didn't like this kind of atmosphere. Although this man looked gentle and harmless right now, he was, after all, a carnivorous beast. Huo Ruoyun felt a sense of oppression, as if her breathing wasn't going well at all.

"You can relax, don't be so nervous." An Bowen leisurely drank a mouthful of tea. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Huo Rulie. Perhaps it was because of the sunlight, but Huo Lianqing felt that it was somewhat dazzling.

"I'm not nervous. Your lover, at least, needs to learn how to remain calm." Huo Lianqing said with a smile.

"Smart! You do suit my taste. " The two of them smiled at each other, but each had their own thoughts. After two cups of tea, Ambowen's driver arrived and took him to the company.

"I'm going to the office. I'll be back for dinner tonight." As he spoke, he stood up with a frown on his face. Was this an explanation to him? He was about to take over? He was telling himself that he would be back in the evening. Huo Lianqing sat here for a while longer and drank a glass of juice before going upstairs.

It was hard to live like this, in such a big, dead house, and there was no one to talk to. As he sat in the car, he flipped through the documents in his hands. Sometimes he looked calm, sometimes he frowned. The air conditioner in the car didn't seem to be comfortable, so he opened the window. The wind blew in from outside and messed up the documents in his hands. With a frown, he closed the windows.

As soon as he entered, the secretary of the company came in and reported the day's itinerary to him. As one of the world's most famous property tycoons, his job did not seem easy. After he finished signing a whole stack of documents, he stood up and walked over to the window. This was the 29th floor. Looking down from this height, it felt like he was looking down on all living beings. The pedestrians and vehicles on the streets were all like ants.

When he thought about that mysterious woman in his villa, he couldn't help but frown. Just what kind of woman was she? Powerful yet not alluring. Within the coldness of her demeanor, there was a sense of gentleness and charm. Although he had been in an unrestrained love life for many years, he had never met a woman like her.

The secretary suddenly knocked on the door, and only then did Umbo come back to his senses. He turned around and sat down behind the desk.

"Come in."

"Director An, Director Gao is here. He's waiting for you in the reception room." The secretary said politely.

"Alright, I'll be there shortly." With that, he stood up and buttoned up his suit before turning back to look at his secretary.

"Secretary Cheng doesn't like wearing earrings?" His sudden question stunned the secretary. Although he was a very romantic person, he was a very private person. He was very clear about his company's secretaries and female employees, as well as the women he worked with. This was something that was always known to everyone.

Secretary Cheng stood there stunned, at a loss of what to do. She had been a secretary to Ann Bowen for six years, and he had never behaved in any way towards her. Their occasional concern was the concern of their superiors for their subordinates, and there were no personal feelings mixed in.

Today, he didn't know why Umbo would so absent-mindedly ask such a question. He unconsciously touched his own ear, and saw that she was wearing a small and exquisite earring.

Secretary Cheng is getting nervous? I was just casually asking. " Seeing her blush a little, he knew she was thinking of something else. It was no wonder that, in the face of such a charming CEO, how many female employees would not have wild thoughts?

"Oh, the company has a rule that states that your appearance is clean and generous." He smiled at her.

"Alright, go and get busy."
