The boss of a wealthy family is too clingy, and the beautiful secretary wants to quit

The next day, after having breakfast together, the two took a car to the summit site.

Arriving at the summit, Jiang Huaian was immediately surrounded by a group of industry insiders as soon as he got out of the car. They stretched out their hands and shook hands with Jiang Huaian to show their respect. Jiang Huaian responded with a smile, showing his general demeanor.

This was just the beginning. In the following days, Jiang Huai was busy almost non-stop. He listened to reports, gave speeches, accepted interviews, and had to deal with all kinds of social etiquette. He couldn't refuse dinner parties either, as he needed to communicate with people from all walks of life there and maintain relationships.

An Ran stood beside Jiang Huainian, silently watching his busy figure. She felt sorry for him, as he had a much heavier burden on his shoulders now, carrying the Jiang Group, and all the responsibilities and pressures were on him.

And she couldn't do much, she could only silently support him by his side.

It was already early in the morning when the dinner ended. Jiang Huai Nian finally had some time to rest when he got home. He sat on the sofa, closed his eyes, and looked a little tired.

An Ran massaged his temples and whispered, "Are you tired?"

Jiang Huaian opened his eyes, looked at An Ran's gentle face, and nodded gently.

"Go to bed early. We still have to discuss the merger and acquisition case tomorrow morning. I had a meeting with Special Assistant Chen in the afternoon. The preliminary research work has been completed. What you need to do now is to have a good rest so that you can negotiate in the best condition tomorrow."

Jiang Huainian held An Ran's hand and nodded gently.

Shenzhen.

Xia Rui was busy moving, and in order to cover up her lie, she finally persuaded her mother to let her move in and live with Xia Ying for a while.

Although Xia Ying gave her the key to her house and Li Hao only sent her to the door every time, she still felt uneasy. This lie was like a time bomb and would be exposed sooner or later. But she still chose to conceal it temporarily. She was afraid that once the truth was revealed, the happiness she had worked so hard to get would disappear in an instant.

"Sister, I'm sorry, you've never lived in such a small room before, right?" Xia Ying leaned against the door, chewing potato chips while watching Xia Rui instructing the servants to put things in. But the room was too small to accommodate Xia Rui's clothes and belongings.

Xia Rui looked helpless, sighed softly, and said to the servant: "Move most of the things back, there is no room here."

The servants immediately set about taking action, leaving behind only some of the season's clothing and daily necessities, and putting the rest into storage boxes one by one.

Xia Rui took out the jewelry from the drawer of the dressing table. The price of any item here exceeded the price of this house. She put all these items that she, as a bar manager, could not afford into a jewelry box and handed it to the servant.

Xia Ying couldn't help but sigh: "I should have asked my dad to buy me a bigger house."

Xia Rui smiled and said, "You just live here during work hours. It's not certain how long you can do this job."

Xia Ying pursed her lips. She had managed to hold on to this job until she passed the probation period. Only then did she dare to ask her parents to buy her a car and this house.

"Sister, that's too much!"

Xia Rui smiled and said, "Don't be angry, I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight."

"Captain Li won't see you off... um..." Xia Ying wasn't able to finish her words when Xia Rui covered her mouth. She looked around vigilantly, indicating that the servants were still there.

Xia Ying immediately understood, nodded apologetically, and stopped talking.

After the servants left, the two of them huddled on the sofa. Xia Ying asked, "Sister, how long are you going to keep this a secret from Captain Li?"

Xia Rui shook her head, looking confused. After a moment of silence, she said, "It's one lie after another. I'm so scared. If he knew that I'm Jiang Hongxi's granddaughter, the mayor's daughter..."

Xia Ying couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw Xia Rui's melancholy eyes. As she kept telling more and more lies, Xia Rui felt more and more uncomfortable.

She thought for a moment and said, "Captain Li is not that kind of person. If he really likes you, he won't care about your identity. Besides, if you keep hiding it, it will only hurt him more and more."

Xia Rui didn't want to guess or gamble at this moment, "Let's go, let's go eat. Li Hao has a mission tonight, so he will pick me up after get off work."

After they finished their meal, Xia Rui returned to the bar.

At two o'clock, Li Hao's message arrived as expected.

Xia Rui packed her things and walked towards the door of the bar. Li Hao was already standing at the door, waving at her with a smile.

Xia Rui looked at Li Hao's smile, and the throbbing in her heart reminded her that no matter what happened in the future, she didn't want to lose this man.

The two got in the car together, and Li Hao asked, "How was your day?"

Xia Rui smiled and gently fastened her seat belt, "It's not bad, it's even better to have you pick me up."

Li Hao smiled shyly and started the car.

Xia Rui found that something was wrong with him today. Was it his clothes? He was wearing a shirt today, and his expression was complicated, even a little nervous.

Li Hao glanced at Xia Rui from time to time. He wanted to speak several times, but finally swallowed it back.

When they arrived at Xia Ying's residence, Li Hao suddenly opened the trunk. Xia Rui looked in curiously and saw a large bouquet of roses in the trunk.

"This is..." Xia Rui looked at Li Hao.

Li Hao took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, handed the bouquet to Xia Rui, and said in a trembling voice, "For you."

Xia Rui took the bouquet with surprise, feeling it was heavy. It must be 99 roses, symbolizing longevity and eternity.

Then Li Hao took out an exquisite box from his suit pants. When he opened it, he found an exquisite bracelet decorated with several diamonds.

Xia Rui looked at the bracelet. The sound of her heartbeat was as loud as a drum in her ears. She could feel her own extreme nervousness.

Li Hao gently took Xia Rui's hand and slowly put the bracelet on her wrist. The bracelet fit Xia Rui's skin well and emitted a subtle glow.

Li Hao took another deep breath and said slowly, "Before, when people asked me what kind of girls I liked, I was always vague. But now, I can describe you to them, and every detail is so clear. I picked this bracelet especially for you. It represents my sincerity and commitment. I hope it can accompany you, just like me, by your side no matter when and where."

Li Hao paused, looked deeply at Xia Rui, and firmly said the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Xia Rui, I like you."

When Xia Rui heard these words, she felt as if she was electrocuted, and a blush quietly appeared on her cheeks.

"Li Hao..." She spoke softly, with a hint of trembling and sobbing in her voice. The moment she said these two words, Xia Rui could no longer control her emotions and tears welled up in her eyes.

She was laughing and crying at the same time.

Li Hao panicked when he saw her crying and laughing. He hurried forward and gently wiped the tears from her face.
