After Liu Ergou finished speaking, he stormed off without giving He Mingxue a chance to say anything. As He Mingxue watched Liu Ergou's figure disappear, he grew anxious.

"Oh no, why is Er Gou so impulsive!" He Mingxue said anxiously. "That woman, Mi Xiaoying, is a tough nut to crack! Er Gou will be at a disadvantage if he runs into her! No, I have to chase after him and bring him back!"

With that, He Mingxue stood up and chased in the direction Liu Ergou had left. However, by the time he ran outside, Liu Ergou's figure had already vanished. Instantly, a fine layer of cold sweat beaded on He Mingxue's forehead.

He Mingxue couldn't think about anything else as he hurriedly rushed downstairs. He had only one thought in his mind: catch up to Liu Ergou and stop him from doing something reckless. That woman, Mi Xiaoying, was not someone to be trifled with.

Just as He Mingxue was scrambling downstairs, Liu Ergou and Mi Xiaoying had already entered the men's restroom.

Inside a cramped stall, Mi Xiaoying's face was flushed red. She was curled up in a corner, looking at Liu Ergou with a wary expression.

"Liu Ergou, what are you trying to do!"

"Let me tell you, don't you dare try anything! This is the men's restroom! If you mess around, you'll be discovered... and then... and then..."

At this point, Mi Xiaoying was too flustered to say another word.

Seeing Mi Xiaoying's embarrassed state, Liu Ergou couldn't help but gulp. In this state, she had a unique charm.

Looking at the woman before him, Liu Ergou swallowed hard and then said, "Ahem, President Mi, you've misunderstood! It's not what you're thinking. I came to find you about something else."

Hearing this, Mi Xiaoying shook her head vigorously.

"I don't believe it!"

Liu Ergou was speechless.

Is this really what she thinks of me? That I have to make a move on her the moment I see her? What a joke. I'm clearly not that kind of person. This is all her prejudice.

Looking at Mi Xiaoying, Liu Ergou made a decision.

When I get the chance, I'll definitely give her a good spanking. That'll teach her not to let her imagination run wild.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou took several deep breaths to calm himself down. Only then did he speak. "What I want to say is, do me a favor. Go find He Mingxue and re-establish your cooperation. Understood?"

Hearing Liu Ergou's words, Mi Xiaoying looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Why?"

"Why would you go out of your way to help He Mingxue?" Mi Xiaoying asked with confusion. "Could it be that you and he also..."

As she spoke, Mi Xiaoying suddenly remembered the strange scent in the reception room.

That strange scent seemed familiar... It was Liu Ergou's, wasn't it...?

Realizing this, a look of utter shock appeared on her face.

Seeing her reaction, Liu Ergou felt rather embarrassed and coughed.

"Ahem, well, it's just as you're thinking! But I didn't force him; he was willing!"

Upon hearing the word "willing," Mi Xiaoying shook her head again.

"I don't believe it!"

This time, Liu Ergou didn't indulge her. He reached out and gently tapped her on the head.

"Alright then, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. However, I can offer you the same treatment."

Liu Ergou's words left Mi Xiaoying somewhat puzzled, not understanding what he meant.

Seeing her perplexed look, Liu Ergou added, "President Mi, this restroom is in a secluded spot. Hardly anyone comes here all day. So, if something were to happen between us, no one would ever know. What do you say...?"

Liu Ergou had barely gotten the words out when Mi Xiaoying immediately caught on. She didn't care about anything else, shoved open the stall door, and rushed out.

As she walked, she exclaimed, "I'm not listening! And I don't want that either! Isn't it just a contract? I'm going back to sign it right now!"

With that, Mi Xiaoying walked even faster.

By the time Liu Ergou came out of the restroom, Mi Xiaoying was already back in the reception room. He Mingxue, however, was nowhere to be seen.

Having no choice, Liu Ergou took out his phone and dialed He Mingxue's number.

The moment the call connected, He Mingxue's anxious voice came through. "Er Gou, don't you do anything reckless! Mi Xiaoying is not someone to be trifled with. If you provoke her, I'll have no choice but to take you and run away with you!"

Hearing He Mingxue's words, Liu Ergou couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, what are you talking about? Run away? Are you planning to elope with me, President He?"

This statement made the already anxious He Mingxue even more frantic.

"Oh my, Liu Ergou, I'm not joking with you, I'm being serious. Don't mess around! If..."

Liu Ergou didn't hesitate to cut him off.

"Alright, President He, you're being so dramatic. I didn't provoke Mi Xiaoying; I just had a few words with her. Now she's had a change of heart and is waiting for you in the reception room to sign the contract. Hurry back!"

After finishing, Liu Ergou hung up the phone.

Beside him, Mi Xiaoying saw Liu Ergou end the call and couldn't help but speak sarcastically. "Heh, Er Gou, you're really something. Everywhere you go, beautiful women are throwing themselves at you. After taking down one chairman, it didn't take you long to get another."

Hearing her words, Liu Ergou responded without lifting his head, "President Mi, are you jealous?"

"Pfft, jealous of what? How could I possibly be jealous of you? I detest you! There's no way I'd be jealous of you!" Mi Xiaoying immediately retorted. "I just can't stand the sight of you!"

What Mi Xiaoying didn't expect was that upon hearing this, Liu Ergou suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Can't stand the sight of me, eh? What a coincidence. I've suddenly found you unpleasant to look at, too. So I've decided, after the contract is signed, just you wait and see how I'll punish you!"

With that said, Liu Ergou reached out and pulled Mi Xiaoying into his embrace. Then, he landed a firm slap on her bottom.

SMACK!

After the crisp sound, Mi Xiaoying's face flushed crimson in an instant.

Just as Liu Ergou was about to do something else, a series of rushed footsteps sounded from outside.

Liu Ergou knew it was He Mingxue returning. So, he quickly placed Mi Xiaoying back on the chair and put on an obedient expression.

This made Mi Xiaoying, who was sitting beside him, so furious she could grind her teeth.
