Chapter 216: Chapter 216: He’s as Handsome as an Angel, I’m Not at a Loss

Si Ran immediately said, "Please speak, madam."

Qiao Rui looked at her and seriously began, "Do you think there’s a possibility between me and Pei Liyan?"

Si Ran was stunned for a moment, then understood Qiao Rui’s intention.

Qiao Rui continued, "You could ask ten thousand people, and ten thousand people would say it’s impossible, but two people unrelated by even the slightest degree still ended up getting married."

Si Ran nodded, then gave a bitter smile, "I understand what you mean, madam, but as for President He, I was just thinking to myself.

The fate between you and the president is profound, and if I may speak frankly, initially we were all shocked, not expecting the president to choose you. But now, it seems the president always had a unique perspective."

Qiao Rui’s lips twitched. "His insight is indeed good, but the main reason is that I am rather outstanding."

Si Ran laughed as well. "The madam is indeed outstanding, you wanted to keep a low profile at first, didn’t you?"

It wasn’t about being low-key at first, but not wanting to stand out.

Her goal had always been to find out about her brother’s whereabouts.

But there was also a deep connection between her and Pei Liyan.

She couldn’t deny that.

"I really hope to see the president and you remain happily married for a hundred years," Si Ran said to her sincerely.

Perhaps it was because the secrets between girls were opened up and they respected each other, so they quickly found common ground.

Qiao Rui smiled faintly, "Whether or not I remain happily married with your president doesn’t matter to me; being with him for a while is also worthwhile, as he is as beautiful as a celestial being, even more stunning than the beauties at nightclubs. I’m not at a loss."

"Cough!" Si Ran couldn’t help but laugh at her words. "If the president knew you said this about him, I wonder what expression he would have."

"Would you tell him?" Qiao Rui countered.

Si Ran was taken aback.

She was silent for a few seconds, then spoke in a strained voice, "If the president asks, I will tell the truth; if he doesn’t ask, I won’t mention it."

After speaking, she anxiously glanced at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui laughed. "Si Ran, you’re really sweet."

Si Ran was left speechless.

"You didn’t lie to me," Qiao Rui said frankly. "Hearing you say this, I am very happy and satisfied."

Si Ran was again surprised.

"You are an honest person and won’t do things just to please me, but you are also a good subordinate. You are responsible towards Pei Liyan, which is your professional ethic," Qiao Rui said with a small smile. "A person who is as diligent and sincere as you are truly deserves He Zheng."

Si Ran was startled by Qiao Rui’s words; she looked at Qiao Rui, meeting her sincere eyes.

Her eyes suddenly reddened.

Being deserving or undeserving was a different matter altogether; she knew He Zheng would never want someone like her.

How could the heir of the He Family want a mere secretary?

The difference in social status was clear.

She understood this, so she didn’t dare to hope.

"Madam," Si Ran’s voice was even rougher, filled with a lot of personal emotion. "Thank you."

Thank you for telling me all this, thank you for not blaming me.

Si Ran muttered in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Rui also stopped.

"There’s no need to thank me; I couldn’t help you with anything substantial, only provide moral support," Qiao Rui said.

"Madam, that is already enough."

"Let’s go back," Qiao Rui said with a slight smile. " I am tired now; let’s go upstairs together."

"Mm." Si Ran followed Qiao Rui upstairs.

As the two reached the corridor, they ran into He Zheng face-to-face.

Qiao Rui asked, "Mr. He, have you had lunch yet?"

"I ate on the plane," He Zheng said and looked at Qiao Rui and Si Ran behind her. "You finished your walk so soon?"

"Tired, resting for a bit," Qiao Rui smiled at He Zheng then said to Si Ran, "Si Ran, I suddenly remembered, I forgot to buy snacks when we came upstairs just now, could you go to the supermarket downstairs and get me a few packs?"

Si Ran was taken aback, "Madam?"

"Go on, it’s only a few minutes." Qiao Rui said, "I’ll be right in the room, not going anywhere."

"Okay!" Si Ran nodded.

Thus, Si Ran and He Zheng walked to the elevator together.

Qiao Rui smiled as she entered the room.

In the elevator.

He Zheng lowered his head to look at Si Ran who was hanging her head and started, "Why are you looking downwards? Si Ran, are you afraid of me?"

Si Ran was startled.

"Lift your head up!" He Zheng commanded sternly.

Si Ran, caught off guard, raised her eyes but not meeting He Zheng’s eyes, she looked away, although she could still see the man’s face from the corner of her eye.

His face, with a smile that seemingly concealed a hint of anger, was profoundly overwhelming.

Si Ran’s heart tightened, and she slowly turned her gaze to meet He Zheng’s eyes.

His black hair had grown a bit, almost reaching his eyes, shining with radiant brilliance.

His gaze was fixed on her, unwavering without a flicker.

Si Ran pursed her lips and softly said, "President He, is there something wrong?"

Seeing her cold demeanor and retreat, He Zheng’s expression also instantly darkened.

He scoffed lightly, "Heh, no, nothing."

Si Ran took a step back, standing not far from his side, her expression slightly relaxed.

Si Ran turned her face, looking to the other side.

The elevator wall reflected the man’s well-defined profile, silent yet overshadowed by gloom.

Si Ran hardly dared to breathe.

He Zheng glanced at her, hesitated, then still spoke gravely, "This trip to Liancheng is very dangerous, don’t run around unnecessarily."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator reached the ground floor.

He Zheng stepped out with long strides, not turning back to look at her again.

Si Ran watched He Zheng’s retreating figure, momentarily startled, then her lips suddenly curved, and she stepped out of the elevator.

She quickly bought snacks and returned upstairs.

The whole round trip took just about five minutes.

Qiao Rui, seeing her return so quickly, seemed to be in a much better mood.

Qiao Rui took the snacks from her and said, "That was fast, really kept close, didn’t you?"

Si Ran chuckled, "Madam, don’t tease me, I know what you did just now for me."

After buying the snacks and returning, she realized that Madam’s request for snacks was false; the real intention was for her to share the elevator with President He.

And she had foolishly gone to buy the snacks, failing to stay close by Madam’s side as she should have.

She felt a bit annoyed and ashamed.

She felt that her mind slowed down whenever she saw He Zheng.

Qiao Rui immediately clarified, "Secretary Si, it wasn’t for you, I was just craving. Your president is too stingy, last time he hoarded all the snacks in his room, not giving me even one."

"Ah?" Si Ran was astonished, "President doesn’t eat snacks."

"Anyway, he didn’t give me any," Qiao Rui said, taking the snacks from her hands, openning a pack, and starting to eat while sitting on the sofa.

No matter what Qiao Rui said, Si Ran was very clear that her arrangement just now was intended to create an opportunity for her to interact with He Zheng.

She acknowledged this favor.

That evening, Qiao Rui didn’t come downstairs and had dinner in the room with Si Ran.

At half-past eight, Pei Liyan returned, and only then did Si Ran gain some freedom and leave the room.

As she left, the room was completely left to Qiao Rui and Pei Liyan alone.
