The night was deep, and Ning Yuan’s room was still lit. The door opened gently as Zhong Shu Qin walked in, “Yuan, aren’t you going to sleep?”
Ning Yuan, buried in company documents, replied without looking up, “Mother, you go to sleep first. I still have work to do.”
As Ru Feng entered the building, the security guard stopped her, “Miss Qiu, sorry, you cannot enter.”
“Why can’t I enter? Is it under martial law? And how do you know my name?” Ru Feng asked, clearly confused.
The security guard, polite yet cold, stated, “I apologize, but there are orders from above that prevent you from entering this building, Miss Qiu.”
Ru Feng raised her hands, showing two large cake boxes. “These are cakes ordered by your customer service department for your clients.”
The two security guards exchanged glances but refused to let her pass. “Miss Qiu, please don’t make this difficult. We’re just following orders. You work at a hospital; why would you be delivering cakes?”
“What law have I broken?” Ru Feng asked irritably.
“You haven’t broken any law, but I won’t let you in,” a cold voice replied from behind.
Ru Feng turned around to see Qiu Chi, now in a crisp suit and accompanied by a large group. “Qiu Chi?” she tentatively asked.
His eyebrow twitched as he glanced at her boxes. “You’ve become a bit smarter, resorting to delivering cakes.”
“I’m from Keko Cake House, here to deliver cakes,” she said, focused on completing her task.
Qiu Chi approached, lowering his voice. “I’ve seen many women, but never one as shameless as you. Didn’t I say if you could sleep with the two men from the Situ family, I’d give you a chance to get close to me? Clearly, you haven’t succeeded. Changed your mind now?”
“Unable to get into Situ Yingfeng’s bed, how could you possibly get into mine?”
Ru Feng’s hands itched to move; the culprit making it impossible for her to face her family was within punching distance. She gritted her teeth and took deep breaths. Turning to the security guards, she placed a cake box down and pulled out a coin. “Sir, may I borrow your phone?”
