The CEO's 100 Billion Bride: The Secret War of the Rich

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen walked into the elevator side by side, and there was a subtle sense of tension in the air. What happened in the club just now made both of them a little uneasy. The elevator door slowly closed, and Su Wanwan took a deep breath and broke the silence.

"Mr. Huo, thank you for your help just now. But I'm curious, how did you know I was there?"

Huo Yanshen smiled faintly, "I'll have someone follow you." Seeing Su Wanwan frown, he added, "Don't get me wrong, this is just to protect you. After all, you are now representing the interests of the Huo family."

Su Wanwan opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but finally chose to remain silent. She understood that her current situation did require extra protection. But the feeling of being monitored still made her uncomfortable.

The elevator reached the top floor, and the two walked into Huo Yanshen's office. Huo Yanshen walked straight to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine.

"Have a drink?" he asked. "I think we both need to relax."

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Huo Yanshen poured two glasses of wine and handed her one.

"For our cooperation." Huo Yanshen raised his glass.

"For cooperation." Su Wanwan agreed and took a sip.

The mellow aroma of red wine spread in her mouth, and Su Wanwan felt a warmth flowing through her body. She had to admit that this wine was really good.

"Ms. Su," Huo Yanshen said, "We need to discuss Cheng Yuan's matter. He obviously won't give up."

Su Wanwan nodded, "I agree. Cheng Yuan has always coveted our company's market share. Now that we are at a disadvantage, he will definitely step up his offensive."

"What do you think?" Huo Yanshen asked, staring at her with burning eyes.

Su Wanwan pondered for a moment and took another sip of wine. "We need to stabilize the morale of the troops and appease the customers. At the same time, we must be prepared to deal with Cheng Yuan's next move."

Huo Yanshen nodded approvingly, "That's a good idea. However, I think we still need to take the initiative."

"Take the initiative?" Su Wanwan was a little surprised.

"That's right," Huo Yanshen's eyes flashed with a sharpness, "The best defense is offense. We can start with Cheng Yuan's weakness and catch him off guard."

Su Wanwan frowned. "Isn't it too risky to do this? Our current situation is not good."

"Sometimes, you have to do the most daring things at the most dangerous times." Huo Yanshen said, adding more wine to their glasses.

Unconsciously, Su Wanwan had drunk several cups. She felt a little dizzy, but her mind was unusually clear. She looked at Huo Yanshen and suddenly felt that this man was both dangerous and charming.

"So do you have any specific plans?" Su Wanwan asked with a hint of provocation in her voice.

Huo Yanshen smiled, "Of course. But before that, I want to know how much you know about Cheng Yuan."

Su Wanwan thought for a moment, "Cheng Yuan is a cunning old fox. He has been in the business world for so many years, and he must have done a lot of shady deals. If we can catch him..."

"That's right," Huo Yanshen interrupted her, "I have asked someone to investigate. However, I am more interested in your opinion of him."

Su Wanwan was a little confused, "My opinion?"

"Yes," Huo Yan stared into her eyes, "as the head of Su Corporation, you must have your own judgment on Cheng Yuan. I want to hear your thoughts."

Su Wanwan was silent for a while, then she said, "Cheng Yuan is an ambitious man. He is not satisfied with the status quo and always wants more. But at the same time, he is very cautious and never takes risks easily. If we want to deal with him, we need to find a bait that he can't resist."

Huo Yanshen nodded thoughtfully, "Interesting point of view. So, what kind of bait do you think can attract him to take the bait?"

Su Wanwan was about to answer when she suddenly felt dizzy. She shook her head, trying to sober herself up.

"Are you okay?" Huo Yanshen asked with concern.

"I'm fine," Su Wanwan forced a smile, "Maybe I drank a little too much."

Huo Yanshen stood up and walked to her side. "Maybe we should end our conversation today. You need to rest."

At this moment, Su Wanwan suddenly stood up, but lost her balance due to being drunk. Huo Yanshen quickly reached out to support her, and their bodies instantly stuck together.

Time seemed to stand still. Su Wanwan could feel Huo Yanshen's strong arms and smell the faint scent of cologne on him. She looked up at Huo Yanshen and found that he was also looking down at her.

Their eyes met in the air, and the atmosphere instantly became ambiguous. Su Wanwan felt her heartbeat quicken and her breathing became rapid. She knew she should push Huo Yanshen away, but her body moved closer to him uncontrollably.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Su Wanwan suddenly came to her senses. She pushed Huo Yanshen away and staggered back a few steps.

"I'm sorry, I...I shouldn't have done this." Su Wanwan stuttered, a blush on her face.

Huo Yan took a deep breath, as if trying to control his emotions. "It's okay," he said, his voice a little hoarse, "I was abrupt."

An awkward atmosphere permeated between the two. Su Wanwan felt extremely annoyed. How could she lose her composure at such a time?

"I think I should go now," Su Wanwan said, avoiding Huo Yanshen's gaze, "I still have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow."

Huo Yanshen nodded, "I'll ask the driver to take you back."

“No need,” Su Wanwan said hastily, “I can just call a taxi myself.”

After saying that, she hurriedly picked up her bag and rushed out of the office without looking back.

Su Wanwan didn't let out a long sigh until she got into the taxi. She leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes, and kept replaying the scene in her mind. She and Huo Yanshen almost... No, she couldn't think about it anymore.

However, there was a voice deep in her heart questioning her: Do you really only regard Huo Yanshen as a business partner?

Su Wanwan shook her head, trying to shake off the thought. She couldn't develop feelings for Huo Yanshen, it was too dangerous for her. She had to stay awake and focus on the predicament at hand.

However, when she closed her eyes, Huo Yanshen's deep eyes kept appearing in her mind. Su Wanwan knew that from tonight, her relationship with Huo Yanshen would no longer be simple.

And this might be what she fears most.
