She quickly made tea for Huo Xiaoran. She remembered that he liked green tea, so she made him a cup of faint green tea according to his taste.

“President Huo, please have some tea.” Qiao An brought the teacup to him. He turned around faintly and took the tea, taking a sip.

The faint taste of water and fragrance stunned Huo Xiaoran. It had been a long time since he had such light tea.

He looked at the bottom of the cup. There were a few tea leaves at the bottom of the cup, which was about the same as the amount he made tea with. He looked at Qiao An in surprise. “Who told you that I like to drink light tea?”

Qiao An was stunned. He had told her himself.

When they were dating, they were both students and would chat online every day. Huo Xiaoran would tell her about his life, such as his schedule, what he ate, what he wore, and even what color underwear he was wearing today. He would report everything to her.

At that time, Qiao An liked to stick to him. She would take the time to ask him many small questions. He always answered patiently and never felt that she was clingy. Of course, even if he was delayed by something and couldn’t reply to messages in time, Qiao An could wait for him patiently.

She knew that medical students were busy.

In any case, they had been in love for five years because they trusted each other and were tolerant of each other.

“Huh?” When Qiao An didn’t respond for a long time, dissatisfaction seeped out of the CEO’s throat.

Qiao An quickly explained, “CEO, no one told me that you like weak tea. I just happen to know that strong tea contains carboxylic acid proteins that are not easy to digest and absorb, which affects digestion and absorption. For the sake of your body, I suggest you drink weak tea.”

Perhaps Qiao An’s explanation was too far-fetched. The CEO placed the teacup on the desk unhappily and ordered coldly, “Change this to strong coffee. I need to refresh myself.”

Qiao An was stunned. He had just woken up in the morning. Why did he need to be so alert?

However, she still obediently made a cup of strong coffee for the CEO.

Huo Xiaoran finished his coffee and said to Qiao An, “I have to attend a drinking party at noon. Come with me.”

Qiao An was slightly stunned. She remembered that Huo Xiaoran was a good citizen who didn’t smoke or drink. Now that he had joined high society, he had learned to socialize.

Qiao An nodded and bowed. “Yes.”

Qiao An accompanied Huo Xiaoran to the five-star hotel. As soon as they entered the private room, two beautiful women pressed themselves against Huo Xiaoran.

“I’ve heard a lot about you, CEO Huo. It’s our honor to be able to see your true self today. I hope you don’t despise us, CEO Huo. We will definitely serve you well.”

Qiao An was stunned by this sudden scene. She stood rooted to the ground until the CEO looked at her with deep resentment.

Qiao An braced herself and pushed the two women away from the CEO. Qiao An said, “Misses, I’m sorry. My CEO doesn’t like your style.”

The two women said coquettishly, “Then what style does CEO Huo like?”

Qiao An said meaningfully, “My CEO has a strong desire to conquer. He doesn’t like food that comes to his mouth.”

The two women had ugly expressions as they returned to their masters gloomily.

“I heard that CEO Huo hired a new assistant. We’re all curious about what kind of beauty she is. Could it be this little chili pepper with iron teeth?” A middle-aged man with a dignified aura looked at Qiao An and teased.

Huo Xiaoran walked over and Qiao An gently pulled out a stool for him. Huo Xiaoran sat down.

Huo Xiaoran said, “It’s her.”

“President Huo is indeed wise. This girl is really good at talking. You’ve picked up a treasure,” the person said.

Huo Xiaoran said, “If you like her, I’ll transfer her to you?”

The man looked at Qiao An and asked, “President Huo gave you to me. Are you willing to come with me?”

Qiao An’s eyes lit up. She questioned Huo Xiaoran coldly, “If President Huo is dissatisfied with my work, you can fire me. I’m your employee, not your product. How can you easily transfer me away?”

“Yo, you’re unhappy,” the men jeered.

Huo Xiaoran picked up the wine bottle, poured a full glass of wine, and handed it to Qiao An. “Three glasses as punishment.”

Qiao An was stunned. Was she wrong?

Why was she being punished?

The woman opposite her revealed a sympathetic expression. Qiao An realized that she had overreacted just now and embarrassed Huo Xiaoran.

She picked up her glass and tilted her head back to drink.

After three glasses of wine, her stomach burned.

At this moment, someone stood up and raised his glass respectfully to Huo Xiaoran. “President Huo, you’re a formidable person in the business world. In just three years, you’ve taken the lead. Even the former King of Medicine family, the Li Kang Group, has to rely on you for food. I hope President Huo can take care of our brothers in the future.”

“President Huo, let me toast you. I’ll toast you first. Do as you please.” After saying that, the man raised his neck and gulped down a glass of wine.

Qiao An knew that Huo Xiaoran didn’t drink in the past, but she didn’t know if he drank now. She turned to look at Huo Xiaoran, only to see Huo Xiaoran elegantly pick up the wine glass… and hand it to her.

Qiao An was dumbfounded.

Damn, she was his assistant. Did his assistant have to shield him from alcohol?

Qiao Anyu took it hastily and downed it.

She didn’t know how to drink, so she drank the wine like water. After drinking it in a few mouthfuls, her heart ached.

After a round of drinking, she fell to the ground drunk.

“Can you still walk?” Huo Xiaoran kicked her.

Qiao An looked at him anxiously. Her mind was still clear, but her words were blurry and she couldn’t walk steadily.

She was afraid that Huo Xiaoran would throw her, a drunkard, into this messy place. She got up and hugged his arms as she said drunkenly, “I can walk.”

“Let go of me.” Huo Xiaoran’s sharp gaze landed on her claws.

Qiao An said, “Don’t be so heartless. I drank too much because I helped you block the wine. Can you have some sympathy?”

“If you can’t drink, why did you apply for my assistant?” Huo Xiaoran asked.

Qiao An was furious. “I was applying to be your assistant. Who knew that your assistant would drink in your place?”

“Isn’t this common knowledge?” Huo Xiaoran felt a headache coming on.

Qiao An begged, “Why must the assistant drinkfor you? Do you want me to help you when you enter the bridal room?”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An, who had placed her face on his arm. Her face was very small, her eyelashes were especially long, and her sleeping face was especially exquisite and beautiful.

If her skin was fairer, she would look more like Qiao An.

For some reason, his heart melted.

In his memory, Qiao An should be such an innocent girl.
