"Hahaha!" Vincent quickly tried to lighten the mood. "Oriental people are shy. Mr. Wan, you need to work harder!"
Boss Wan nodded. "So, I won't bring you guys to dinner next time."
"Of course, of course!"
Since Boss Wan had already made it clear, how could they be the third wheel?
On the way back, Chen Huan got in Boss Wan's car. As soon as she started the car, she bared her teeth. "Have you been thinking about this for a long time?"
"Yeah!" Boss Wan kissed her. "Now we can meet openly. Even if your lab finds out, they won't think much of it."
Chen Huan punched him. "That's not the point, okay?"
Boss Wan raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"The point is that Laxle. You've made her hate me." Chen Huan thought of the way the woman looked at her when she left and felt uncomfortable. "She's liked you for so long. How can she let it go when you suddenly say you like someone else?"
"What does that have to do with you?" Boss Wan couldn't understand. "It's my business whether I like her or not. Even if I didn't meet you, I wouldn't like her."
Chen Huan rolled her eyes. "You don't understand women at all. A woman's jealousy is terrible."
The man nodded seriously. "Well, just like you did a few days ago."
"I'll bite you to death!" If they weren't driving, Chen Huan would have pounced on him.
Boss Wan held out his hand. "Here you go."
"Go away!" Chen Huan glared at him. "I'm telling you, if that woman does anything to me, I'll blame it on you."
Boss Wan didn't think Laxle would dare to do anything. That woman knew him well. But he underestimated women. As Chen Huan said, jealousy would erode a person's understanding. Laxle wouldn't let it go so easily.
Sure enough, when Chen Huan went to see him the next day, Riley had a strange expression on his face.
"What do you want to say?"
Riley called Chen Huan into his office awkwardly. Yesterday, Laxle warned him that if he kept Chen Huan, Laxle would withdraw his investment. This project didn't matter, but Riley had several private projects that could be sold for money.
Laxle threatened him with those projects, so he had to compromise.
"Chen Huan, you see …" Riley tried to be tactful. "I think there are too many people in this experiment. Vincent and Pulley have been following us for a long time, and you …"
"Just tell me, did Lahir ask me to leave?" Chen Huan interrupted him. "It doesn't matter. But let me make it clear. Without me, you won't be able to unlock the secret of the box."
Riley really wanted to cry. He knew this better than Chen Huan. Previously, they had seen some of the drugs that she had used in her experiments, which they had never seen before. Back then, when Hua Nation recommended her, they said that this girl could turn herself into a poisonous person.
Who else was more qualified than Chen Huan to study poison?
"I have no choice." Riley sighed. "You know it's not easy to do research. I can't offend the sponsor."
Chen Huan shrugged and did not want to say anything more. Then, she heard Boss Wan's voice coming from the door. "You want her to leave?"
Startled, Riley saw Vincent winking at him from outside the door and cursed him in his heart.
"Mr. Wan, what do you think about this …"
Boss Wan patted Chen Huan's hand. "Leave it to me. You can leave now."
Chen Huan curled her lips and turned to leave. At the door, Vincent comforted her. "Don't worry. I think Mr. Wan likes you very much. He will take care of it."
"Thank you." Chen Huan knew that it was Vincent who had called Boss Wan. "If you have the chance to go to Hua Nation, I will introduce you to some pretty girls!"
Vincent clutched his chest and shouted exaggeratedly, "Oh my God! You have to keep your promise, Chen! "
The two of them had barely exchanged more than a few words when they saw Riley escorting Boss Wan out of the room.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wan. We will finish the experiment as soon as possible!"
Boss Wan gave him a nonchalant look. "There's no rush. Take your time."
"Ah! Got it, got it! "Riley nodded vigorously. His old face was smiling like a chrysanthemum. Then, he walked up to Chen Huan. "Chen Huan, it's all done. I told you Mr. Wan is not a big deal. Come on time tomorrow!"
Chen Huan twitched the corner of her mouth. "Haha …"
That night, after Boss Wan bullied her in bed, Chen Huan bit his face hard.
"Hungry?" Boss Wan did not mind at all. He held her tightly.
Chen Huan poked him in the chest angrily. "See? What did I say? That Lahir will never let go. He didn't kick me out this time. I don't know what else he has planned! "
"I'm going to see Old John tomorrow."
"Who?"
"Lahir's father."
"Oh," Chen Huan said. Then, she remembered something. "What did you say to Riley?"
"He won't care about anything else as long as someone is sponsoring his research." Boss Wan told her to sleep well. "I told him that I would guarantee the research funding. That way, he would have no reason to kick you out."
"What a waste of money," Chen Huan said gloatingly.
Boss Wan smirked. "That's why I said … I'm going to see Old John!"
Lahir sat across from his father with a sullen face.
"Dad, why are you helping an outsider but not me? That Asian woman took Ah Wan away! "
Old John was a white-haired old man who looked very shrewd. In fact, he was very smart. Otherwise, Boss Wan would not have worked with him for so many years.
"It's yours. No one can take it away from you." Old John looked at his daughter and sighed. "I told you back then that that man is not someone you can control. If he likes you, I'll be happy. But if he doesn't, I only hope that we will never be his enemy. "
Lahir punched the sofa a few times and shouted, "No, I will make him like me. I won't! I won't! "
"I won't like you." The door was pushed open with a bang. Boss Wan pushed the secretary aside and walked in. "Old John, control your daughter."
Old John rubbed his forehead. "Lahir, you don't have to participate in the research project this time. We won't withdraw the funds. Boss Wan will be in charge of it from now on."
"Dad!" Lahir stood up. "What right do you have to make this decision? I also have shares in the company."
"We can discuss this when you inherit the company. For now … please leave." Old John's eyes were sharp. "As the chairman of the company, I order you to leave."
Boss Wan stopped Lahir, who was about to rush out. "Wait a minute."
"Ah Wan!" Lahir looked at him in surprise.
"Listen, I don't have that much patience, and I don't want to leave trouble for myself," Boss Wan said gloomily. "For Old John's sake, I'll let you go this time. Stay away from my woman. If there's a next time, don't blame me for turning against you. "
Lahir screamed and pushed him away. She covered her mouth and ran out. Old John shook his head with a bitter smile. "I'll keep an eye on her. If anything happens, for the sake of our cooperation for so many years, spare her life! I only have one daughter. "
"I hope that day doesn't come." Boss Wan turned and left.
Old John leaned back in his chair weakly. His company was able to squeeze behind the global corporations because he covered for Boss Wan's underground arms sales in the United States. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to do so much with the little money left by his family.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of leaving, but after seeing what happened to those people in South Africa, he didn't have any intention of leaving. Besides, Boss Wan didn't need to rely on him anymore. Now that Lahir made such a scene, he was afraid that the man would soon draw a line between him and himself.
"Book a ticket to France and let Lahir watch the fashion show." Old John pressed the bell on the table and ordered his secretary.
For the next two weeks, Chen Huan didn't see Lahir. She heard from Boss Wan that Lahir was sent abroad for a vacation. She calculated the days and estimated that she would be back soon.
"Why do you have so many pills with you?"
That morning, Boss Wan found that Chen Huan had put a few small bottles in her bag. Even the ring on her hand had a hidden mechanism, and there was a pill in it.
"Just in case!" Chen Huan waved her hand. "Thank you for preparing such good things for me."
Boss Wan had given her the ring when he proposed. In addition to the pill, there was also a GPS system in it. No matter where Chen Huan was, Boss Wan would be able to find her. Of course, that was if she didn't lose the ring.
"You have me." The man frowned, feeling excluded.
Chen Huan stroked his hair and said, "I know. I told you just in case. You should know how terrible a woman's jealousy can be by now. If she goes crazy and does something, we can't guard against it! "
By now, Chen Huan had thought it through. She was no longer complaining about the hatred Boss Wan had caused her. After all, she liked this man! If another woman wanted to steal her man, she should take the initiative to fight back!
"As long as your heart is with me, as long as you are on my side, I won't be afraid even if ten women come at me, let alone one!"
Boss Wan hugged her tightly. It was rare for his wife to speak so directly. Every once in a while, she would say something that would make his heart pound like a little girl's.
"I won't let anyone hurt you!" He cupped Chen Huan's face and kissed her gently.
On a weekend night, Boss Wan and Chen Huan went to a famous buffet restaurant for dinner. After they drove away, Lahir got into a car on the opposite side of the road and followed them at a leisurely pace.
"Their dessert today is different from last time!" Chen Huan held up a rabbit-shaped pudding. She couldn't bear to eat it.
Boss Wan couldn't stand her good-for-nothing behavior. He smacked her on the head and said, "You can come here every day if you want."
"Tsk!" Chen Huan looked at him disdainfully. "This is called the joy of life, you know? If you come here every day, you won't care. "
She wanted to poke Boss Wan's face, but when she turned her head, her gaze froze.
"What are you looking at?" Boss Wan turned his head.
Lahir and an unfamiliar woman were standing behind him, smiling at him.
"Ah Wan, what a coincidence!"
Boss Wan nodded and turned to Chen Huan. "Hurry up and eat before it gets cold," he said.
