Chapter 438: Chapter 438: You Attract My Gaze

"No, my dad asked for this a long time ago!" Si Ran said.

He Zheng raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you trying to tell me that you were a bit hasty in agreeing to my request at the club before?"

"What I mean is, if you want to pursue me, show some sincerity." Si Ran said calmly, "If it’s just to live together and sleep together, then you can find someone else. I’m not interested."

"Marriage?" He Zheng laughed, "Sure, whenever you have time, we can go to the registry office and get the marriage certificate."

His casual attitude provoked Si Ran.

She frowned, naturally not believing that He Zheng was serious about marriage.

She didn’t want to deal with him, so she turned around and left.

He Zheng continued to follow behind, "I told you, the driver isn’t here yet. You don’t need to rush off, we haven’t finished the tour!"

"There’s no need for a tour." Si Ran said again, "I’m not interested in President He’s place!"

"Then what are you interested in?" He Zheng questioned quietly, his eyes becoming dangerous.

Si Ran suddenly realized she had misunderstood when she met his dangerous gaze.

"I’m not interested in anything."

"That’s the best answer. If you mention any other man’s place, I will ensure you regret it." The danger in He Zheng’s eyes dissipated, replaced by a touch of amusement, softening him considerably.

In no time at all, Si Ran was downstairs. She turned to glance at He Zheng, speaking in a serious tone, "President He, if your driver can’t come, I’ll go first."

"He’s here." He Zheng said, "Let’s go, I’ll see you off."

As they exited, Si Ran saw the driver and He Zheng’s assistant.

Si Ran handed her car keys to the driver.

After opening the car door, He Zheng got into the car as well.

Seeing him escorting her, Si Ran said again, "There’s no need, President He, the driver can take me back."

"No, I must see you off." He Zheng said, "I promised Qiao Rui to protect you well."

"I’m fine." Si Ran said, "I’m just a small secretary, nobody notices me."

"I noticed you." He Zheng said with a smile, "And you really catch my eye."

Si Ran’s expression changed, and she looked at He Zheng, seeing her reflection in his deep eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.

With the driver sitting in the front, Si Ran quickly gathered her emotions, turned her gaze away, and didn’t want to look at He Zheng anymore.

However, her inner world was tumultuous and anxious.

She clearly felt incapable of handling He Zheng.

Seeing her like this, He Zheng curled his lips into a smile and gave the order, "Drive."

"Yes!" The driver started the car, preparing to take Si Ran away.

Involuntarily, Si Ran let out a long sigh.

He Zheng laughed and said, "Don’t be so tense, we’re just taking you home."

Si Ran immediately glanced at him, thinking this man speaks so frivolously even in front of the driver.

He Zheng laughed, unconcerned.

Si Ran kept her gaze fixed on his eyes, but eventually withdrew her sight.

He Zheng chuckled, "Si Ran, you really carry authority like this. You’ve learned a lot about posture from Liyan, capable of intimidating people."

"The president was kind to me." Si Ran said seriously, "President He, tonight might be a dangerous moment for our madam. I have no mind for jokes, so could you please stop talking?"

"I didn’t expect you to worry so much about Qiao Rui?" He Zheng was a bit surprised.

Si Ran didn’t hold back, saying, "I remember President He was more concerned about Qiao Xiang. Why don’t you go comfort her at this time, maybe she needs your comfort more."

"Why are you associating me with her?" He Zheng said, "Even though we grew up as family friends, there’s absolutely nothing romantic between us."

Si Ran just pulled a smile, "Nobody misunderstood anything, President He doesn’t need to clarify in such detail."

"Si Ran, why did talking become so combative once there was another driver here?"

Si Ran was stunned, realizing she was being a bit irrational.

She simply pursed her lips, took out her phone, and made a call, "Any news?"

On the other side, they said: "Secretary Si, our people have been tracking the Lin Family’s movements, Elder Lin has decided to take action tonight, and we’re investigating who he’s contacted."

"Still haven’t found out?" Si Ran asked with a stern expression.

"We’ve only found out that he made a call to someone named Yu Shu, and Lin Qingshi has given orders. Yu Shu had served three years in prison for accidental injury and just got out."

"Does the president know about this information?"

"It’s already been reported to Assistant Fang."

"Alright, keep a close watch." Si Ran said seriously, "Make sure to protect the madam."

"Understood."

After hanging up the phone, Si Ran frowned deeply, looking very serious and tense.

He Zheng looked at her and comforted, "I saw that Qiao Rui was already well-prepared. Otherwise, she wouldn’t provoke the Lin Family like this.

And today at home, I saw her throwing darts with precision. You don’t need to worry too much."

Si Ran said nothing.

Feeling a bit awkward, He Zheng fell silent.

It seems that Si Ran and Qiao Rui are quite sympathetic to each other; otherwise, she wouldn’t go to such lengths to protect her.

He Zheng asked, "Si Ran, why do you dislike Qiao Xiang so much?"

"President He, why are you asking this?" Si Ran said seriously, "I believe I have the right to like or dislike someone."

"Qiao Xiang isn’t that bad, is she?"

"Indeed, quite good." Si Ran said.

He Zheng: "Can we chat pleasantly?"

Si Ran: "No, so could you please keep quiet?"

He Zheng burst into laughter.

Si Ran tightened up, ignoring him further.

On the other side, after getting into the car, Qiao Rui said to Gai Yin, "Choosing to act at night allows a lot of information to be concealed by the darkness."

"Yes, President Qiao." Gai Yin said seriously, "Everything is fully prepared."

Qiao Rui glanced at the girl driving in front, smiling slightly, "Huang Ying, your outfit is really inconspicuous."

"Young Master, don’t laugh at me, I’m a bit nervous today." The one who came to pick them up was Huang Ying, naturally made to look ordinary.

"Nervous about what?" Qiao Rui was not worried at all. "Yu Shu will give me this face."

"Of course, you’ve done him a favor before." Huang Ying said, "Yu Shu has always remembered your kindness."

Qiao Rui remained indifferent to this: "Find Yu Shu a position. After being inside for three years, it’s hard to find a job after coming out."

"Yes, Manager Jiang will arrange it."

"No!" Qiao Rui immediately shook her head. "Don’t let him arrange this, find someone else."

"Understood." Huang Ying nodded immediately.

Gai Yin said, "Are you worried Mr. Pei will find out about this?"

"Not exactly!" Qiao Rui shook her head, "Liancheng’s events won’t lack any twists. Since Yu Shu has a criminal record, if he unintentionally harms someone after coming out, he might be severely sentenced again."

"The Young Master thinks long-term." Huang Ying immediately understood Qiao Rui’s meaning. "This time, Yu Shu accepted Elder Lin’s commission. It’s amazing Lin Qingshi couldn’t keep a promise to him and still dared to contact him."
