Faced with Mei Hanqing rushing towards him, even though Qiu Ruoxi was standing right beside him, Ye Xunhuan couldn't just push her away.

After all, if Ye Xunhuan were to push her away directly, it would definitely be quite hurtful to Mei Hanqing.

Of course, Ye Xunhuan also knew that if he allowed Mei Hanqing to leap into his arms and hold him, Qiu Ruoxi would definitely be unhappy, and might even have a cold war or argument with him.

Even so, Ye Xunhuan had no choice at all.

It could be said that he couldn't have both fish and bear's paw.

Soon, Mei Hanqing reached Ye Xunhuan and threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around him, as if afraid that if she loosened her grip, Ye Xunhuan would disappear. At the same time, while holding Ye Xunhuan, Mei Hanqing felt as if she was embracing the whole world.

Upon witnessing this, Qiu Ruoxi's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural.

Not just Qiu Ruoxi, any other woman in her place would certainly feel uncomfortable.

If it were any other woman, she might have rushed up and pulled Mei Hanqing away, delivering two big slaps, warning the other, "This is my man!"

But Qiu Ruoxi didn't do that; she just stood there quietly, without a sound or trying to pull Mei Hanqing away from Ye Xunhuan's embrace.

She stood there silently, watching Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing, with complex emotions in her eyes.

Ao Wuheng and Zhong Wuchang, upon seeing this scene, felt a lot of unsatisfied feelings for Qiu Ruoxi, but since Qiu Ruoxi didn't say anything, neither did they dare to say much.

"Alright, everything's okay now." Ye Xunhuan gently stroked Mei Hanqing's hair and said softly.

As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan's eyes were scanning Qiu Ruoxi back and forth.

Upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi's expressionless face, a bitter feeling surged inside Ye Xunhuan.

Ye Xunhuan knew that Qiu Ruoxi was definitely angry, but he had no choice.

He couldn't just push Mei Hanqing away, could he?

Hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Mei Hanqing slowly rose from his arms and said softly, "Xunhuan, are you alright? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Do you need to go to the hospital..."

Saying this, Mei Hanqing began to look up and down at Ye Xunhuan.

"It's nothing!" Ye Xunhuan replied to Mei Hanqing, "You don't need to worry."

At this moment, the old director couldn't help but start coughing.

Even though the old director was aged, his ears were not deaf, his eyes were not dim, and his mind was sharper than anyone's.

He had already noticed that Qiu Ruoxi's face seemed a bit off, but what could he say?

Originally, the old director thought that Mei Hanqing knew Qiu Ruoxi was right there and that a brief hug would suffice. But who knew Mei Hanqing seemed to have completely forgotten about Qiu Ruoxi, which made the old director cough to remind her!

Upon hearing the old director's cough, Mei Hanqing instinctively turned her head to look at him.

Next moment, Mei Hanqing saw Qiu Ruoxi and immediately understood why the old director was coughing. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

For a moment, Mei Hanqing didn't quite know what to do, how could she forget that Qiu Ruoxi was here?

When Mei Hanqing saw Ye Xunhuan return earlier, she rushed towards him almost as if by instinct, completely ignoring Qiu Ruoxi.

Now, noticing Qiu Ruoxi made Mei Hanqing feel at a loss.

"President Qiu, I..."

Just as Mei Hanqing was about to say something, Qiu Ruoxi interrupted her, "I can understand!"

Qiu Ruoxi glanced at Ye Xunhuan as she spoke, asking lightly, "Is everything alright?"

"It's alright." Ye Xunhuan said softly.

"As long as you're fine." Qiu Ruoxi said faintly, "I'll head back now. Remember to come back after you're done, and if you're not feeling well, go see a doctor!"

Then, Qiu Ruoxi focused her attention on the old director, "Old Director, I have many matters to attend to at the company, so I'll be leaving first, I'll visit you another day!"

The old director was at a loss for words.

In the past, without a doubt, the old director would have asked Qiu Ruoxi to stay, but now he was too embarrassed to do so.

The matter between Mei Hanqing and Ye Xunhuan, although not openly addressed, was something the old director was not oblivious to.

Although he pretended not to know, Mei Hanqing's recent embrace made it difficult for him to continue feigning ignorance.

"Miss Qiu, let me see you off!"

Saying this, the old director walked over to Qiu Ruoxi.

Once Qiu Ruoxi left, Ao Wuheng and Zhong Wuchang naturally didn't linger, they left immediately, but as they left, they glanced at Ye Xunhuan, with a hint of disapproval.

Both Ao Wuheng and Zhong Wuchang were from the Xiahou family, and Qiu Ruoxi was the eldest daughter of the Xiahou family, whereas Ye Xunhuan, though a son-in-law, was not their closest.

Now that Ye Xunhuan had displeased Qiu Ruoxi, could they possibly give Ye Xunhuan a pleasant expression?

To this, Ye Xunhuan could only reply with a bitter smile.

"Xunhuan, I... I really didn't mean it, I didn't intend to..."

Seeing Mei Hanqing's anxious face, Ye Xunhuan softly interrupted, "Alright, I don't blame you!"

"But President Qiu, she's angry, you should go after her!" Mei Hanqing quickly urged.

"It's alright, I can talk to her when we're home. Besides, no matter what I say now, she might not listen." Ye Xunhuan said softly.

Ye Xunhuan understood Qiu Ruoxi's temperament well. He knew that going to find her now would be of no use.

Moreover, since Qiu Ruoxi was already aware of the relationship between him and Mei Hanqing, trying to explain to Qiu Ruoxi now would undoubtedly be pointless.

Meanwhile, the old director had already accompanied Qiu Ruoxi outside the welfare center.

"Old Director, you should go back quickly." Qiu Ruoxi said lightly, "The wind is strong outside, don't catch a chill!"

Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi's concerned words, the old director's face was immediately smeared with thick guilt, "Miss Qiu, I apologize to you so much..."

As he said this, the old director was about to bow deeply to Qiu Ruoxi, seeking her forgiveness.

But before he could bend down, Qiu Ruoxi quickly stopped him, "Old Director, what are you doing, how can I accept such a gesture from you!"

"Miss Qiu, I know you are a good person. Without your help, I don't know how the welfare center would be today." The old director said painfully, "But Han Qing, this child, she..."
