Loving You: A Blessing or a Curse?

Before Su Lian has a chance to refuse, Ryan speaks up.

"Sorry Mr. Han, but we have plans after this."

Ryan puts his left arm over Su Lian's shoulder and maintains a somewhat possessive stance. This looks quite harmless to everyone else in the room, but...

Seeing another man put his arms around his woman, Han Yuan's face darkens and he clenches his fists in anger.

The two senior staff members have puzzled expressions on their faces.

What exactly is this Ryan trying to pull?

Noticing Han Yuan's dark and angry expression, they immediately become anxious. This boy's actions may jeopardize all their hard work.

Luckily enough for them, the meeting had gone well. Now this little boy that their boss brought in with her from who-knows-where wants to refuse Mr. Han's simple request. Isn't that directly not giving him any face.

"Any plans you have with the boss can be postponed."

The two old men hastily speak up and try to drag Ryan out of the conference room with them before he can say any more foolish words.

Ryan still refuses to budge. As he is about to say something, Su Lian pats his arm resting on her shoulder. "It's fine, I'll only be a minute."

He looks at her, his expression worried and hesitant. She smiles reassuringly and turns around to face him.

In the end he, the two senior staff members and the two men who accompanied Han Yuan exit, leaving Han Yuan and Su Lian alone in the conference room.

"What do you need Mr. Han?"

Her voice is so distant as if she doesn't even know him.

"Su Lian." He stares deep into her eyes hoping to get some sort of response but becomes extremely disappointed when he sees nothing. "You came back, I'm glad you did."

"If there is nothing you wish to discuss, then I'll be leaving first."

"It was nice meeting you, Mr. Han. I look forward to our cooperation," she turns around and walks to the door.

"Meeting me? Are you going to pretend that you don't know me?"

Before she can say anything further, she feels his figure pressed firmly behind her and his arms wrapped tightly around her waist.

"We dated for two whole years. Doesn't that ring a bell to you? Did you really forget the man who you shared a bed with? Su Lian, I'm sorry, really sorry. But more importantly, I miss you, I miss us. I know I was wrong."

Hearing his words, Su Lian pulls herself out of his embrace, turns around and swings her hand across his face. Delivering a slap filled with frustration and resentment.

"I don't know you. I never dated the heir to the Han Group. Just what do you take me for? Mr. Han, if you put your hands on me again, I'll press sexual harassment charges against you."

Taken aback by her slap and response, Han Yuan is completely stupefied. Before he has time to collect himself and respond to what happened, she was already out the door.
