"He's too charming!"
"So handso!"
"How can there be such a perfect man in the world!"
...
The won instantly turned into fangirls, staring at Su Chen with blank minds.
The n, seeing their female companions' reactions, didn't feel jealous. Instead, they felt inferior!
Simply because the difference was too great!
Now looking at him and Lin Ruoxue, the previous disharmony was gone, only to say they were a perfect match!
If one had to differentiate between the two, perhaps Lin Ruoxue was slightly out of her league. This was mainly because the man's charisma at that ti was truly extraordinary.
"What, are you stupefied?"
Su Chen gently tapped on Lin Ruoxue's shoulder, bringing her back to reality.
"Hmm, pretty decent looking."
Lin Ruoxue pretended to be nonchalant, but in reality, her heart was beating chaotically.
Seeing her stubbornness, Su Chen didn't say much, a slight smile lifting the corners of his mouth, revealing a mischievous grin.
Seeing Su Chen's mischievous smile, the ladies present once again swooned, nearly fainting.
"Alright, let's settle the bill."
Su Chen said to Lin Ruoxue, without a hint of embarrassnt of being a kept man.
The won didn't see anything wrong with it, and if possible, they were all willing to let him be a kept man too.
But glancing at Lin Ruoxue, they felt this idea was sowhat far-fetched!
Whether in terms of wealth or appearance, they were far behind Lin Ruoxue.
At this point, almost everyone believed that they might really be a couple!
After paying, just as they were preparing to leave, the store manager hesitantly made a request:
"Sir, may I take a photo of you to display in our shop window?"
"No problem!"
For such a small request, Su Chen naturally wouldn't refuse.
But what stunned him was, as the store manager brought out the cara, other won also raised their phones, rushing to take photos of him.
For a mont, Su Chen felt like he was a panda being exhibited...
This scene also made Lin Ruoxue feel a mix of amusent and disbelief. When had this guy beco such a big deal?
....
After returning from the Kayle Mall, they first went ho to put away their clothes and changed into staff uniforms before they drove back to the Belle Building.
Just as Su Chen parked the car in the parking lot, he received a text ssage from Xia Qiuru, asking him to co to her office imdiately after returning to the corporation.
Su Chen looked at the ssage and was puzzled, wondering what Xia Qiuru, who had been avoiding him these days, wanted from him.
He shook his head. Since he couldn't figure it out, why not just go and ask her?
Now for Su Chen, entering Xia Qiuru's office was just like entering Lin Ruoxue's office; he just pushed the door and entered.
At that ti, Xia Qiuru was resting her elbows on her hands, frowning in thought. She suddenly felt soone entering and was about to reprimand.
But when she saw it was Su Chen, she held back her words, and her face even flushed a bit because the person she had just been thinking about was this troublemaker!
"Qiuru, what did you need for?"
Su Chen saw an apple that had been eaten halfway on Xia Qiuru's desk, picked it up, and took a bite.
Honestly, he was quite thirsty, and after taking a bite, he put the apple back in its place.
Xia Qiuru stared at the row of bite marks on the apple, her face turning even more shy.
Was this guy doing it on purpose? If she ate it again, wouldn't that an she was eating his saliva?
"What's the matter? Don't tell you're so stingy that you can't even share a bite of your apple?"
Su Chen saw Xia Qiuru's expression changing continuously, her eyes fixed on the apple, so he asked aloud.
"How can I eat it now?"
Xia Qiuru glared at him reproachfully.
"What's the big deal? It's just being picky."
Su Chen pursed his lips. To tell the truth, he had also realized sothing was amiss, but he couldn't admit it aloud.
"Do you actually want to eat your saliva?"
In the end, Xia Qiuru picked up the apple and threw it into the trash.
"As if we haven't shared that before!"
Su Chen blurted out without thinking.
But as soon as he had spoken, both beca suddenly silent, involuntarily rembering that windy, moonless night in the car.
Xia Qiuru's face turned completely red, like a ripe peach about to drip with juice...
Su Chen was also extrely embarrassed, cursing himself internally for being such a fool!
For a mont, the air seed to be filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, and silence sotis only served to make things slide toward a worse scenario.
A complex emotion spread in the hearts of both, as if sothing was sinking...
"Ahem, I should head out first."
Su Chen looked at Xia Qiuru uneasily.
"Alright."
Xia Qiuru instinctively nodded, feeling a warmth in her body.
But before Su Chen reached the door, Xia Qiuru's voice called out again.
"Wait a mont."
"Qiuru, what else is there?"
Su Chen stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"This, that..." Xia Qiuru hesitated, then said, "This evening, our corporation and Yun Corporation have a celebration banquet. Did you know?" Experience exclusive tales on empire
Su Chen nodded:
"I've heard, what about it?"
"I was thinking, I was thinking..."
"Thinking what?"
Seeing her hesitant speech, Su Chen tilted his head and asked.
"I want you to be my male companion!"
Taking a deep breath, Xia Qiuru mustered her courage and looked up at Su Chen as she spoke.
"This, this..."
Now it was Su Chen's turn to be at a loss for words, his face showing a bit of difficulty.
"What, you don't want to? If not, forget it."
Xia Qiuru, seeing his reluctant look, started to get sowhat annoyed.
"It's not like that..."
"Then what is it?"
At that mont, Xia Qiuru felt very wronged; tears nearly escaping her eyes. She had taken such an initiative as a woman, yet you still...
"Well, Ms. Lin has also asked to be her companion, and I've already agreed to her, so..."
Su Chen said softly, sohow feeling a bit guilty in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Xia Qiuru was completely stunned, feeling rather surreal.
Ms. Lin had actually invited him to be her companion?
She knew that Lin Ruoxue usually attended these banquets alone, never with a male companion.
But why would Lin Ruoxue invite him to be her companion?
What exactly was their relationship?
For a mont, many thoughts flashed through Xia Qiuru's mind, and her expression gradually darkened.
"Let's just forget about it then."
Xia Qiuru forced a weak smile, ultimately not voicing the doubts in her heart.
