My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Just Playing into Her Hands!
The management looked at the group of people who were pathetically begging for money at the company’s entrance as if they were idiots, then glanced at their president’s expression and said to the eager crowd, “You are the ones who started this commotion, come with me!”

Their family embezzled so much money from the company and thought it’d be over just by jumping ship, but now they wanted to extort more money through their brazen harassment. It was like the saying—birds of a feather flock together. Just wait until the investigators from overseas send back the evidence, then they’ll be waiting to pay up!

A line of relatives who had been dreaming of counting big money followed into the company in a grand procession.

Li Shengxiao’s face was an ashen color as he tightly gripped the wrist of the young woman in front of him, his hawk-like eyes dark as he said, “What are you doing here, where is Gu Ming?”

Damnit, hadn’t he asked Gu Ming to stay in Capital City to take care of her?

How had she ended up here?

And where had Gu Ming gone off to?

He didn’t need to ask to know that it must’ve been Gu Ming who told Rong Yan he was in Lin City, which is why this young woman had chased him here.

The first moment he saw her, he wasn’t without surprise.

His heart even skipped a beat, that indescribable feeling nearly made him lose his rationale in an instant. But after seeing her in the midst of the troublemaking relatives, grabbing one of their hands and getting into an argument, his surprise was overtaken by worry and anger.

Fearing she might get hurt, fearing she might be bullied.

“Why isn’t he by your side?” He had ordered Gu Ming to stay by her side 24/7, to protect this woman in his stead.

What the hell was Gu Ming doing!

Maybe it was time he considered adding more staff to Ring Island.

Gu Ming, who was parking his car, sneezed and said to himself in surprise, “Could it be a cold?”

Not paying it much mind, he found a parking space, parked the car, took out the keys, locked the door, and hurriedly jogged towards the company.

He wondered if Miss Rong was still waiting for him at the original spot.

Also, if the BOSS found out he and Miss Rong had run off to Lin City, would he be angry?

He had no idea that Li Shengxiao was beyond angry and was seriously considering sending him to some godforsaken place for reflection.

Even though Rong Yan was not a mind reader, after having spent so much time together, she could somewhat understand his thoughts. She quickly grabbed his arm, defending Gu Ming, “Li Shengxiao, this has nothing to do with Assistant Gu. After I went back and saw you weren’t there, I forced Assistant Gu to tell me where you were. I insisted he bring me to Lin City, and he brought me along because he was worried about me being on my own.”

“Where is he now?” Instead of help, Rong Yan’s defense only made the proud man’s brows darken even more.

Seeing his expression wasn’t getting any better, Rong Yan carefully said, “Assistant Gu went to park the car. He told me to wait outside for him. I saw someone trying to throw something at you and couldn’t restrain myself, and I ran over.”

The man’s thin lips were pressed into a straight line, obviously holding back his anger.

“Are you angry?” Rong Yan cautiously looked at his face, tugging at his arm, biting her lip, “I actually came here not just because I was worried about you, but also because I wanted to wish you a happy birthday in person.”

She released her hold and handed him the paper bag she had carefully protected, “And this, your birthday gift.”

I actually came here not just because I was worried about you, but also because I wanted to wish you a happy birthday in person.

Li Shengxiao, who had been engulfed by raging fury, was truly angry. But when he saw the gift and heard her birthday wishes, his gaze suddenly narrowed to a point.

He clearly saw that the young woman in front of him was deliberately showing weakness as a strategic retreat.

Yet he couldn’t help but fall for her ruse, uncontrollably!
