Chapter 215: Chapter 215: If You Like It, Go Chase It

"Yes, President, I assure you, I will protect the madam," Si Ran promised solemnly.

Pei Liyan nodded, his whole body engulfed by a powerful pressure that made everyone else feel his displeasure.

Qiao Rui was confused, not leaving her side; wasn’t that surveillance?

She looked at Pei Liyan with questioning eyes.

Just then, he looked at her, expressionless, at least clearing away the emotions from before.

Qiao Rui was startled, it must have started with Muyu’s phone call earlier. Did her not answering the call upset him?

Tch!

She wouldn’t indulge his bad habits; didn’t everyone have some privacy?

Qiao Rui averted her eyes and said to Si Ran, "Si Ran, then I’ll have to trouble you to stick close by to protect me, maybe even better if you sleep over with me."

Si Ran was dumbfounded; sleeping together at night?

She didn’t have that kind of fetish.

Pei Liyan’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, his face growing even darker.

He didn’t say another word and left with Fang Mo.

As Fang Mo was leaving, he smiled at Qiao Rui and nodded as a gesture.

Unexpectedly, President He was waiting at the door; seeing him smile at Qiao Rui, he gave a sharp look.

Fang Mo, feeling the murderous gaze of the President, shivered and hurried after him, not daring to raise his head to look at President He again.

Soon, the two of them left together.

Si Ran smiled at Qiao Rui, "Madam, would you like to go up and rest, or take a walk?"

"Let’s take a walk!" Qiao Rui replied, "I’ve just eaten, resting now feels like a pig’s life."

Si Ran laughed along.

The two of them left the house and took a walk in Ludao Garden.

Qiao Rui drank some fruit wine, feeling warm all over.

Finding it delicious, she had Si Ran try some too.

Now, like her, his blood circulation sped up, his cheeks flushed red, his heart warm, and his lips curled in a smile, "Madam, is this your first time in Liancheng?"

Qiao Rui shook her head, "I’ve been here before, but it was always a quick visit without really exploring Liancheng."

Si Ran was a bit surprised; wasn’t Madam from the countryside?

She was also increasingly finding that Qiao Rui was a mystery.

At that moment, Qiao Rui took out her phone to return a call to Song Muyu.

Si Ran watched closely.

The call connected and Qiao Rui spoke without emotion, "Are you okay?"

"Was it inconvenient earlier?"

"It was okay," Qiao Rui replied.

"Is it inconvenient now?" Song Muyu understood immediately.

Qiao Rui smiled lightly, "How about you?"

"Jinfeng is here, we are on our way to Liancheng now. I called earlier because I wanted Qi Yun to stay, but she refused, saying that you agreed."

So Muyu’s call was about Qi Yun; it seemed Muyu knew that Qi Yun was crucial for Chen Haimin, and if discovered by the Chen or Shi family, it would be very dangerous.

"I agreed," Qiao Rui said, glancing naturally at Si Ran.

Si Ran’s gaze was a bit profound but calm.

She watched Qiao Rui make the call, suddenly appearing much solemn; she felt that Qiao Rui’s presence was even bigger than the president’s, especially when she was serious.

The madam truly was a mix of sweet and savory.

"Alright," Song Muyu sighed, "There’s someone next to you, I won’t say more. When we get to Liancheng, if nothing’s up, I won’t contact you."

"Alright!" Qiao Rui responded with a word.

The call ended quickly.

Si Ran felt that, if she hadn’t been there, the madam’s call would not have been so restrained.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, she said, "Madam, if you feel I’m in the way here, I can go over there."

"That’s not necessary; quite convenient," Qiao Rui put away her phone, gently smiling at her with clear eyes and a sincere tone. "The scenery here is beautiful, and there’s no fun appreciating it alone; better to wander together."

Yet, to their surprise, they ran into He Zheng at Ludao Garden.

As they turned towards the front garden of the hotel, they saw He Zheng stepping out of a black luxury Bentley.

Dressed in a well-tailored suit, pants crisply creased, he got out, and the driver helped him with his luggage.

His assistant immediately went to get the suitcase while he stood downstairs, casually surveying his surroundings.

It was only a moment, but he saw Qiao Rui and Si Ran.

After a slight start, He Zheng’s lips curled in a faint smile, then he spoke a few words to his assistant before walking towards Qiao Rui and Si Ran.

Qiao Rui saw He Zheng coming; staying here, she wondered if it had to do with Song Xun’s engagement.

As she pondered, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Si Ran had become somewhat stiff at the sight of He Zheng.

Si Ran’s gaze was fixed, unblinking, staring at He Zheng.

It was as if Si Ran couldn’t believe she was really seeing He Zheng; she even blinked to make sure.

Her action was quite cute; Qiao Rui tugged at her lips.

He Zheng had reached them, smiling warmly, "What a coincidence, to meet you, sister-in-law, and Secretary Si, just as I arrived."

"Mr. He, quite the coincidence to meet you in Liancheng," Qiao Rui replied with a light smile.

"I came here specifically," He Zheng said.

Qiao Rui was startled; it seemed he was called by Pei Liyan.

Si Ran also spoke, "President He, you’re here."

"Yes, I’ve arrived as well," He Zheng looked at Si Ran, smiling, "Secretary Si, why so stiff seeing me? I’m not a cat; you’re not a mouse; relax a bit."

Si Ran was taken aback for a moment, called out directly, she immediately looked down, speaking in a low voice, "President He still loves his jokes."

He Zheng glanced meaningfully at Si Ran, then he said to Qiao Rui, "Where’s Liyan?"

"He went out with Assistant Fang," Qiao Rui replied, "If you want to find him, you can call him."

"I’ll check into my room first," He Zheng said, "I’m not in a rush to find him; I’ll go to my room, Secretary Si, do take good care of our president’s wife."

"No need for President He to remind me, I will," Si Ran muttered.

He Zheng smiled again at Qiao Rui before heading upstairs.

Si Ran’s gaze lingered on his retreating figure for a long while.

Qiao Rui glanced at her unnoticed, then spoke, "If you like him, just go after him!"

Si Ran was stunned, her face flushing red. "Madam!"

"Tch! I didn’t want to speak up, but seeing you all lovestruck, it seemed like if I didn’t say it directly, you would continue to hesitate," Qiao Rui said, "I’ve pointed it out; be brave, I’ll support you spiritually."

Si Ran had never expected the madam to say that.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

Qiao Rui said, "Looking at you like this, I feel ashamed that I should not have said it so directly, but I couldn’t hold back."

"No, no!" Si Ran quickly shook her head. "Madam is right, I do like President He, but there’s just no possibility between him and me."

"Why is it not possible?" Qiao Rui asked.

Si Ran hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond.

Qiao Rui then asked, "Si Ran, let me ask you a question."
