The Business Tycoon Is Fierce And Clingy - Chapter 36

Chapter 36 A Candlelit Dinner

After the meeting, Huo Qing asked An Ran to go back to the hotel to rest first and told her that he would pick her up later for dinner.

“Wu Min, you stay here.” Huo Qing’s facial expression immediately turned cold.

He had understood that Wu Min had deliberately arranged for An Ran to go somewhere else when he had called An Ran earlier. He had not expected that his subordinate would do such a thing.

“Wu Min, after this business trip, go back to the company and submit your resignation report. As for the compensation, the company will not treat you unfairly,” Huo Qing said coldly.

“President… Why do you treat me like this? I’ve been your secretary for five years in the Huo Corporate Group. Is it because An Ran wants to fire me?” Wu Min said angrily.

“I hate it when people meddle with my personal affairs. Wu Min, you crossed the line,” Huo Qing said and left without looking back.

Wu Min slumped to the ground. She had not expected she would lose her job after a business trip.

“An Ran, you b*tch! It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, President Huo wouldn’t have fired me, and I may even become Mrs. Huo in the future…”

Wu Min muttered to herself and kept cursing An Ran.

After talking to Wu Min, Huo Qing went back to the hotel to pick An Ran up for dinner.

Before coming to City B, Huo Qing had asked his assistant to book a restaurant with a superb atmosphere. It was said that ladies would enjoy the environment there.

An Ran had already been waiting for Huo Qing at the hotel. As she had known they were going to eat at a restaurant, she had changed into a beige dress which made her look really gentle, and she had also put on a coat of a similar color.

Huo Qing saw that An Ran was ready, so he drove her to the restaurant.

It was a western restaurant. Huo Qing had reserved the best seats, and through the glass window, they could see the most lively night scene in City B.

The atmosphere in the restaurant made people feel very comfortable and warm. There was also someone playing the piano in the middle of the restaurant.

They had sat for a long time before the waiter began to serve the dishes. There were steaks, the most famous snacks in City B, and desserts that all girls liked. Candles were placed on the dining table. It was a romantic candlelit dinner.

An Ran was deeply attracted by the atmosphere. She felt that she had not experienced this feeling in a long time.

During the meal, Huo Qing placed the steak in front of An Ran.

“Enjoy.”

“Thank you.”

An Ran was a little shy. She forced herself to calm down and eat the steak quietly.

“An Ran, would you be my girlfriend? I’ve liked you since a long time ago. Now that you’re single, I think I have the opportunity to confess my feelings for you,” Huo Qing said as he looked at An Ran with a passionate gaze.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

An Ran was eating the steak when she heard what Huo Qing said. The steak was stuck in her throat.

Huo Qing quickly walked to her side and patted her on the back. He then quickly poured a glass of water for her.

An Ran gulped down the water and finished the glass. She almost choked to death.

To think that Huo Qing had actually confessed to her!

There were not many people in the restaurant. Everyone was eating quietly. Only the sound of the piano echoed in the restaurant.

An Ran had been avoiding Huo Qing for the past two days on purpose. She felt that she was not good enough for him. The cancelation of her engagement had caused a storm in the entire city, and her family company was facing a crisis. Huo Qing deserved someone better.

Besides, An Ran could no longer trust men now. She felt that men were all visual animals, and few men could resist temptation. Duan Qun was a living example.

She did not want to fall in love again and be hurt again!

At the thought of this, An Ran said “Sorry”, picked up her coat, and ran away.

Huo Qing was left on the spot, and he started doubting himself.

Had he just been rejected by An Ran?

Was he not good enough? Or was he not handsome enough?

Thinking of this, Huo Qing turned to look at the glass window, and a handsome face appeared. Huo Qing was not appreciating his own looks. He just wanted to confirm whether he was so ugly that he scared An Ran away.

After Huo Qing’s warning in the afternoon, Wu Min had been unwilling to accept it, and she had wanted to take revenge on An Ran.

She had known that Huo Qing would have dinner with An Ran at the restaurant tonight, so she had bribed someone to take photos of them having dinner together.

After Wu Min received the photos, she got even more jealous when she saw how intimate Huo Qing and An Ran looked. Wu Min sent the photos to Duan Qun and mocked him for being a cuckold. She wanted to use Duan Qun to teach An Ran a lesson.
