Hearing the secretary's voice, Lin Ruoxue suddenly snapped awake and imdiately felt a pair of hands playing tricks around her waist. She quickly pushed Su Chen away and stood up in a hurry.
A deep blush flushed across her face imdiately. Lin Ruoxue could feel her face burning hot, as if it would drip water, blooming like a flower!
Su Chen, looking at Lin Ruoxue's expression, couldn't help but find it adorable. What was the big deal that made her blush like that?
Little did he know, this was the first ti Lin Ruoxue had been so close to a man. The impact on her inner world could hardly be the sa as his thick-skinned self.
Lin Ruoxue glared at Su Chen in feigned anger, then pressed down on her chest, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.
Feeling sowhat better, Lin Ruoxue then instructed her junior secretary to co in.
"Secretary Chen, what's the matter?"
Lin Ruoxue asked as if nothing had happened, pretending everything was normal.
"…"
This secretary, Chen Guo, was a university graduate of just two years, with a delicate appearance that gave off a comfortable vibe.
It was also because of this, and the fact that she graduated from a prestigious university, that Lin Ruoxue chose her from many applicants to be her secretary.
At that mont, the junior secretary glanced at Lin Ruoxue, then at Su Chen sitting on the sofa, seeming hesitant to speak.
"Just say what you have to say. There's no need to hem and haw."
Lin Ruoxue knew Chen Guo was wary because Su Chen was present, but since he was ostensibly her husband, asking him to leave now would definitely embarrass him.
Chen Guo didn't know his identity, so a bit of reticence was normal, but after all, she was his legal wife, so it wouldn't do to act too dismissively.
Chen Guo was slightly taken aback upon hearing Lin Ruoxue's words, then understood; seeing how they were just now, their relationship was clear.
Maybe soon the two of them would beco a family. She derided herself for being so dense!
Su Chen was sowhat surprised by Lin Ruoxue's words; indeed, this woman wasn't as cold as she appeared on the outside.
"Master Liu is downstairs. He said he has co to see you. Do you want to et him now?"
As she spoke, Chen Guo stole a glance at Lin Ruoxue and Su Chen, looking a bit awkward.
She knew that this Master Liu had been pursuing her boss. Not only was he suave and extraordinarily handso, but he was also the heir to the Liu Family.
The Liu Family was one of the Four Great Families in Jiangnan. In Jiangnan, the Four Great Families were almost celestial beings, entrenched in all industries with extensive connections and resources.
Chen Guo had always assud that Lin Ruoxue would eventually marry Liu Qing, as the two seed perfectly matched, just like a real-life prince and princess.
However, today's events had stunned her. Lin Ruoxue had gotten involved with a man who looked like a construction worker on the sofa, and it happened right in her office.
Chen Guo couldn't fathom why Lin Ruoxue would forsake the grand heir of the Liu Family and be with a man she herself couldn't even admire.
If Liu Qing knew about this, this young man might face catastrophic consequences!
Lin Ruoxue heard that it was Liu Qing coming and imdiately looked panicked, like a thief caught red-handed.
Su Chen quickly noticed the odd expressions on the two won and imdiately realized—this so-called Master Liu must be a suitor of Lin Ruoxue's.
Su Chen wasn't surprised by this at all, as his wife was known as Jiangnan's most beautiful woman, and having suitors was quite normal.
"Go invite Master Liu in."
Lin Ruoxue said. If she didn't see him now, wouldn't it seem even more like she had sothing to hide?
A mont later, a tall and handso man walked in, dressed in a vintage Italian tailored blue suit, his face adorned with a standard smile.
However, when he saw Su Chen sitting on the sofa, his eyes involuntarily narrowed, but he quickly returned to normal.
His reaction did not escape Su Chen's eyes, and he imdiately judged him to be a hypocritical and malicious person.
"Who is this?"
Liu Qing asked naturally, without seeming abrupt or rash.
Lin Ruoxue did not want strangers to know about their relationship, but she was worried that clarifying their relationship might make Su Chen overthink.
While she was in a dilemma, Su Chen casually stood up.
"Hello, I am the new driver hired by Belle Corporation, Su Chen. It's a pleasure to et you," Su Chen extended his hand enthusiastically.
Liu Qing genuinely did not want to shake hands with soone who seed like a re laborer; disgust flickered in his eyes, but for the sake of maintaining his image in front of Lin Ruoxue, he still extended his hand.
The mont their hands touched, Liu Qing swiftly withdrew his, a trace of confusion flashing through his mind.
Why would Lin Ruoxue personally et a driver who had just been hired, especially since the guy seed so casual and lacked the usual restraint employees show when eting their boss?
However, Liu Qing did not take Su Chen very seriously; after all, the gap between them was enormous. He believed he could simply flick his finger to dispose of this loser.
But Su Chen's thoughts were similarly dismissive.
"Ruoxue, I managed to get two front-row tickets to Sara's concert and would like to invite you to join ," he said.
Liu Qing looked at Lin Ruoxue with affection. To him, only Lin Ruoxue, the top beauty of Jiangnan, was worthy of being the heir of the Liu Family.
He knew Sara had always been Lin Ruoxue's favorite violinist and that Sara, the sensational violinist, had taken the world by storm. Her concerts were genuinely a tough ticket to secure!
Moreover, Sara's transcendent beauty, which crossed geographical and national boundaries, drove countless people wild!
It could be said that the most stressful and headache-inducing aspect of a Sara concert was the security, because the fans were so frenzied that accidents like stampedes were always a risk.
Sara is in Huaxia? Su Chen was slightly startled, but neither Lin Ruoxue nor Liu Qing noticed his brief mont of surprise.
Lin Ruoxue felt exceedingly awkward hearing Liu Qing's invite, especially since it was made in front of her husband, addressing her endearingly as "Ruoxue."
Although she and Su Chen were not emotionally close, he was still her husband by law, and this situation was bound to make him uncomfortable.
Lin Ruoxue felt inexplicably nervous, not because she had any feelings for Liu Qing — in fact, she felt nothing for him — but being in front of Su Chen made her instinctively tense, and even she could not explain why.
"No, I have so work to attend to this evening, but thank you for the invitation, Young Master Liu."
Although she longed to attend Sara's concert, Lin Ruoxue tactfully declined to avoid giving Liu Qing any wrong ideas and to prevent any misunderstanding by Su Chen.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qing imdiately beca anxious, as opportunities for close contact with Lin Ruoxue were incredibly rare.
"Ruoxue, work can be done anyti, and you shouldn't focus only on work," Liu Qing earnestly said, "An opportunity like Sara's concert in Huaxia doesn't co often, it might be years before she cos again."
Lin Ruoxue was sowhat conflicted. She had always wanted to attend a live Sara concert, but had never been able to make the ti. With the rarity of Sara visiting Huaxia, and being in Jianghai at that, it truly was a rare opportunity.
"Ms. Lin, Young Master Liu is right. You work so hard; it's fitting that you take so ti to relax."
Su Chen also noticed Lin Ruoxue's desire to go but realized that it was because of him that she declined.
His heart ward at the thought, and he also missed Sara, the little girl who had always clung to him back in the day. Truth be told, he quite missed that young girl.
