Chapter 495: Four Eyes Meeting
The two aunties praised Wen Ruan.
“President Mo, it’s not that we’re exaggerating, but the herbal tea that lady gave us is much more effective than the throat lozenges you gave us.”
Mo Zhan wasn’t angry. He raised his eyebrows and his handsome face carried a bit of evil.” Really? Auntie, your praise for her has successfully attracted my attention!”
Liu Xuan did not know Wen Ruan’s purpose for coming to the oasis to brew the herbal tea. He finally could not help but ask doubtfully,” Miss Wen, aren’t you here to look for the Young Master?”
If he didn’t take the initiative to meet the other party and sat here and waited, he probably wouldn’t see him even after the sun set!
Wen Ruan looked at the scenery around her and said unhurriedly,” What’s the rush? Those two aunties drank my tea and they will definitely spread the news. Someone will come and look for me later!”
If she took the initiative to go to the camp to look for him, she would probably be chased out immediately and leave a bad impression on Huo Hannian.
The situation was different when they took the initiative to look for her!
Liu Xuan vaguely understood Wen Ruan’s motive.
This girl looked pure and beautiful, inexperienced, but she did not expect her to do things so well!
Sure enough, a handsome man in a black suit walked over.
“You must be the little girl that auntie mentioned?”
Unlike the rough bodies of the women in the desert, Wen Ruan looked slender. Although she was wrapped in a black robe and her face was covered with a veil, one could tell that she was a beautiful lady from her exposed eyes.
Mo Zhan was quite impressed that such a delicate and beautiful girl could come to the Siman Desert for an adventure!
Wen Ruan sized Mo Zhan up. This man was handsome and evil. His temperament was different from ordinary workers. One look and one could tell that he was a high-ranking manager.
Wen Ruan replied calmly,” Yes, may I know who you are?”
“I’m the person in charge here, Mo Zhan. I heard that the herbal tea you brewed is very effective for dry throats?”
Wen Ruan poured a cup for Mo Hui.” President Mo, why don’t you try a cup?””
Mo Zhan took the cup that Wen Ruan handed him and sniffed it before drinking it in one gulp.
“May I know your name?”
“My name is Wen Ruan, and this is my bodyguard, Liu Xuan.”
Mo Zhan nodded at the two of them. Seeing the two newly set up tents not far away, he raised his eyebrows slightly.” Are you planning to camp here tonight?”
“Yes.”
“The weather in the Siman Desert is bad, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. As far as I know, there might be a sandstorm tonight.”
There was not much fear in Wen Ruan’s eyes. His deer eyes were clear and calm.” We will reinforce the tent later. The sky is getting dark. It will be even more dangerous to leave now!”
Mo Zhan pondered for a moment.
He didn’t know if it was because of his psychological effects or if the herbal tea was really effective, but after drinking it for a few minutes, he felt that his throat wasn’t as dry as before. It was indeed much more comfortable.
Thinking of how many workers in the camp couldn’t sleep well at night because of their dry throats, he raised his hand to support his chin.” Miss Wen, how about this? Let’s make a deal.””
Wen Ruan and Liu Xuan returned to the tent to pack their luggage.
Liu Xuan secretly gave a thumbs up to Wen Ruan.” Miss Wen, you actually managed to get President Mo to personally invite you to stay at the camp. That’s amazing!””
Liu Xuan had worked as a security guard in Building S before, so he had naturally heard of Mo Zhan’s name.
Mo Zhan looked evil and cynical, but not everyone could enter his eyes.
Among the four assistants, he was also the most rigorous one. He would not easily let anyone get close to the young master.
Wen Ruan smiled faintly.” Because my herbal tea happens to be what they need. Besides, in this desert area, you and I can’t do much. We can’t pose any threat to them, and we can help his employees. Why not?”
Liu Xuan nodded.” You’re right.”
Wen Ruan was assigned to stay with two cooking aunties while Liu Xuan stayed next door.
When they reached the room, Wen Ruan was about to wash her face when a commotion suddenly came from outside.
” President Mo, a worker fell from the crane. We can’t find a doctor…”
Wen Ruan walked out of the room and saw a few workers carrying a bloodied worker over.
Mo Zhan frowned.” Doctor Cha took leave to return to Ni Du. He will only be back tomorrow at the earliest.””Mo Zhan looked at the injured worker and immediately made a decision.” Send him to my car. I’ll send him to the town hospital.””
“But President Mo, it’s going to be dark soon.”
Mo Zhan was about to say something when a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly sounded.” Carry him into the house. I’ll treat his injuries.””
Mo Zhan looked back at the fully armed woman and narrowed his eyes slightly.” Miss Wen, you know medicine?”
“Yes.”
Mo Zhan nodded and ordered the staff to carry the injured workers into the house.
Wen Ruan only asked Liu Xuan to go in and help her out. Mo Zhan wanted to go in, but she didn’t let him.
A few employees asked doubtfully,” President Mo, who is she? He sounded very young. Did he really know medicine?”
Before Mo Zhan could say anything, a low and cold voice sounded.” What happened?”
The few employees stepped back to make way for the tall man.
Mo Zhan stepped forward and nodded at the man.”Young Master.””
Mo Zhan briefly recounted what had just happened.
The man raised his dark and narrow eyes and glanced at the tightly shut door. His thin lips spat out two words coldly,” Reliable’?”
Mo Zhan nodded.
Mo Zhan had always been a reliable person, so Huo Hannian didn’t ask any more questions. He strode into his other room.
An hour later, Wen Ruan opened the door.
She looked outside but didn’t see Mo Zhan. Just as she was about to look for him, she suddenly saw another figure in the courtyard from the corner of her eye and was stunned.
The man was wearing a black jacket with the zipper pulled up to the highest point, sticking close to his Adam’s apple. He was tall and straight, cold and well-built. He was wearing high-top leather shoes, and his facial features were hidden in the light. She could not see his face clearly, but just by standing there, his body gave off a coldness that could freeze the air.
Wen Ruan recognized him at a glance. It was him, Huo Hannian!
His legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he couldn’t move another step.
His heart beat as fast as a war drum.
Mo Zhan didn’t know where he had gone, leaving him alone in the courtyard.
He held a cigarette between his fingers, took a few puffs, and blew out a mouthful of smoke. As if sensing something, he looked up at the door.
Their eyes met.
Wen Ruan’s hands, which were hanging by his sides, suddenly clenched into fists.
Everything around her seemed to have stopped. Only the sound of her heart thumping could be heard.
When he met her gaze, he frowned slightly, put out the cigarette butt, and walked towards her.
