38 Pretend or Forget? (1/2)

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.
