“Miss Su, good morning.”
“Good morning, Miss Su.”
“Miss Su, good morning.”
“Miss Su…”
Amid the chorus of greetings from the company staff, Su Ling stepped into her own office.
She pulled out the boss’s chair, turned, and sat down.
After stacking her jade-like hands wrapped in smooth black silk together, Su Ling took the financial report handed to her by Secretary Wang and instructed:
“All right, Secretary Wang, you can go now. Come back to call me when it’s time for the meeting. Also, don’t forget to send Zhixian lunch at noon. It should be from Lanxuan Pavilion; I’ve already sent you the menu.”
“Yes, Miss Su.”
The female secretary bowed slightly, closed the office door behind her, and left.
With her immediate work paused, Su Ling stretched lazily. Her women’s suit perfectly accentuated her slightly imperfect yet still exquisitely slender figure.
“All right, let me see what exactly Zhixian wants to do. Don’t disappoint me like Secretary Wang said~ Otherwise, I really can’t promise what I might end up doing~”
Su Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly. Muttering to herself, she put down the financial report, took out her phone, and opened one of the apps. The screen immediately showed Ruan Zhixian’s figure at home.
“Yay! Now that Su Ling has gone to work, I can play games at home all I want!”
After a cheer, Zhixian happily dashed over to the computer in her room, launched the game, and began an adventure with the beautiful female protagonist she had been looking forward to.
“But I don’t really know how things are at home. Mom already said we might be apart for a while, but she promised she could handle it, so it shouldn’t be a big problem, right?”
Zhixian pondered over recent family matters for a moment but quickly brushed them aside.
“Forget it, no need to worry. Mom is so awesome, so I won’t stress myself out. I just didn’t expect she would even have Su Ling help protect me.”
At that thought, Zhixian chuckled quietly.
“Hehe, but before Mom entrusted me to Su Ling, she definitely didn’t realize this would be exactly what I dreamed of, right?”
Zhixian looked at the beautiful girl on the computer screen, hands on her hips, laughing heartily.
“Hahaha, Mom, you must not have expected that with Su Ling, I can freely play games, huh? Your gaming ban is totally useless for me now!”
“I really love Su Ling!”
Su Ling, just opening her phone, heard this last clear declaration from the girl. Her face instantly flushed red, and her head felt like it was steaming.
Zhixian said she loved me! And she said it quietly when she was alone! Ahhh, what should I do, what should I do? Should I accept it? How should I respond—shyly or more dominantly?
No, no, no!
Su Ling shook her head sharply, forcing herself to clear her mind.
No, I have to stay calm! I can’t lose my mind every time Zhixian is involved! Secretary Wang was right—Zhixian is famously talented; she wouldn’t have overlooked being pursued.
It’s very possible this whole thing is a carefully constructed act to escape! Maybe she suspected the house had surveillance and purposely said it to me.
She probably just wants to get out and might still be thinking about how to break the engagement with Gu Tian!
Thinking of this, Su Ling’s chest tightened painfully. Her slender fingers clenched the phone, and a shadow gradually covered her phoenix-like eyes.
No, Zhixian must be mine. No one can take her away from me!
With that thought, Su Ling looked back at the phone, ready to see what the blonde girl would do next.
“I feel a little hungry. Is it about time to eat?”
Zhixian pressed the save button, paused the game, rubbed her belly, and muttered.
“Ding dong~”
The doorbell rang from outside.
“Huh? Could it be Su Ling coming back?”
Zhixian was surprised and got up to walk toward the door.
“Su Ling~, you’re back…”
Before Zhixian reached the entrance, the door opened. But it wasn’t Su Ling who appeared—it was a familiar woman in a suit.
“Sorry, Miss Ruan. Miss Su is too busy with work and can’t come back for lunch. I’m here to deliver your meal, all personally arranged by Miss Su.”
“Oh, I know you. You’re the secretary who’s always around Su Ling, right?” Zhixian quickly recognized the woman and waved dismissively.
“I know Su Ling is very busy; it’s fine. Thank you for bringing my lunch. Would you like to stay and eat something?”
“Thank you for the kind offer, Miss Ruan. Delivering your meal is Miss Su’s arrangement and part of my duties. I still have work to do later, so I won’t stay. Well then, please excuse me.”
“Oh, oh…”
Zhixian stood there dumbfounded, holding the lunch box, watching the secretary quickly leave as if something scary had just happened in their conversation.
Placing the delicately wrapped lunch box on the dining table, the girl’s fair hands gently opened it and immediately lit up with delight.
“Awesome, sweet and sour ribs!”
Her emerald eyes immediately locked onto the ribs at the center of the box. She quickly picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, lips moving slightly as she chewed carefully.
“It’s from Lanxuan Pavilion!”
Zhixian’s emerald eyes sparkled like stars, and before long, she had devoured the entire meal.
“Mm, I’m so full~”
The golden-haired beauty swallowed the last rib contentedly, slumped softly in the dining chair, and placed a slender arm lightly on her slightly rounded belly, sighing with satisfaction.
Come to think of it, Su Ling really treats me well~ Whether it’s breakfast from Qinfang Pavilion or this meal from Lanxuan Pavilion, these aren’t easy to get.
And she ordered all my favorite dishes~ Mm, if only I weren’t a girl in this lifetime…
“I really want to be with Su Ling~”
The soft golden fluff voiced her heartfelt sentiment.
“Bang!”
The only office chair in Su Group’s C City headquarters toppled with a crash.
