“Sir, I’ll need you to sign this. I have to go abroad, but it won’t work without your approval.” He handed
his form to Ren. Ren took the pen and signed the form, though he was displeased. “Knock next time.”
Elijah forced a smile. He had no idea someone as stern as Ren would also fall for the wiles of romance.
The big bad wolf’s gonna gobble up Little Red Riding Hood soon.
Elijah chuckled and tried to please his boss by saying, “I do hope I get invited to your wedding when I
come back.” “Have a safe trip. And be careful,” Ren said.
“I know. I concealed who I really am,” Elijah said. He picked the form up happily and left for his
vacation. Scarlet and Walter came a little while later. Just seeing how her brother was healing up
relieved Scarlet.
Ruka chatted with Scarlet for a while. The only regret Scarlet had was that she couldn’t give them a

Ruka didn’t mind. As long as they were together, it didn’t matter when the wedding was held. Ren
refused to continue staying in the hospital when afternoon rolled around. He wanted to go home.
Silas tried to stop him, but Ren insisted on going home. Being a VP was useful in this case, so Silas
got him discharged despite all the hassle he had to go through.
Silas was a guy, and he had experience with romance before. He was very clear why Ren insisted on
resting at home.
Ruka packed things up and left with him when she heard the news. Ren was wearing a comfy, dark-
colored sweater and a brown coat. His usually majestic look was replaced by a family guy vibe.
The nurses who came to pack up for him blushed when they saw Ren. They couldn’t take their eyes off
him. The ladies just kept dropping and toppling things.
When Ren left the hospital, Ruka held the extra scarf in her hand and told him, “Lower your head.”
He did as he was told, and she wrapped the scarf around his neck. He didn’t refuse it, even though it
was overtly pink and a woman’s scarf.
They emerged from the underground car park and headed straight for his house. There were even
more bodyguards this time. After that last attempt on Ren’s life, these men had cleared any possible
threats on the road.
They arrived at his house a while later. The servants took care of everything, while Silas took Ren to
his bedroom upstairs.
“I’m not stopping you from dating Ruka, but there are some things that you can’t do until you’re healed.”
Silas said, “Don’t tear that wound open. Not after it has finally healed. Listen to me if you don’t want to
go through another torture session at the hospital.”

“You think you can enjoy any peace and quiet after you get to this position? If you don’t want it, you can
always let me take over,” Silas cracked a joke.
“Take it,” Ren answered right away. Silas shook his head, smiling, “No. I’m not as capable as you are.
The job’s gonna take ten years off my life.”
Silas went and told the servants about Ren’s diet during the recovery period. Ruka came to Ren’s
room. He was in a robe and lying under the A/C. He looked languid and s*xy.
“Come here.” He extended his hand. She went to his side and sat on the edge of the bed. He pulled
her into his embrace. “And now, we have our alone time. Nobody’s gonna disturb us.”
