Beautiful CEO's Super Expert Chapter 272 Because Mrs. Lin is my wife

An hour later, everyone left the old man's sickroom.

Although everyone was still unsatisfied with the old man's decision, they dared not act out due to his imposing aura.

This also laid the groundwork for so troubles to co...

Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue returned to Belle Corporation, after all, the company's stock had just been targeted, and Lin Ruoxue still had a lot of issues to handle.

After returning to the Belle Building, Lin Ruoxue went straight to her CEO office.

However, Su Chen did not imdiately go back to the public relations departnt but stepped out of the building and made a phone call:

"God of Wealth, there's sothing I need you to handle..."

"Sure, no problem."

The voice on the other end of the phone was very crisp and clear.

After making the call, Su Chen felt refreshed and spirited.

He believed that in the comrcial battlefield, as long as the God of Wealth made a move, there would definitely be no issues, and all he had to do was wait for the result!

Just as Su Chen was about to walk back into the Belle Building, he coincidentally encountered Xia Qiuru, who was heading out.

"Minister Su, hello."

Su Chen had thought she would avoid him again, but unexpectedly, she took the initiative to speak.

Although she initiated the conversation, Su Chen felt uneasy.

Because of her indifferent tone and the way she addressed him as Minister Su, it was clear that she wanted to keep a distance.

"Qiuru, Director Xia, where are you going?"

Su Chen was at a loss for words at first, having planned to call her Qiuru, but considering Xia Qiuru wanted to keep a distance, he reluctantly changed it to Director Xia.

Xia Qiuru, upon hearing him address her as Director Xia, felt a slight sting in her heart and a trace of desolation flashed in her eyes before she concealed it.

"Oh, I'm a bit tired. I'm going across to have a coffee and relax a bit."

Xia Qiuru forced a small smile as she spoke.

Opposite Belle, there was a Green Island Coffee café. People from nearby corporations who were tired from work or had business talks often went there.

"May I join you for a coffee?"

Su Chen suddenly smiled and asked, actually wanting to find an opportunity to talk to Xia Qiuru.

"Sure."

Xia Qiuru hesitated a bit then nodded.

The two walked without speaking, and the silence lasted until they sat down face-to-face at a table in the café. They hardly exchanged a word the whole way.

Honestly, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Su Chen didn't like it, but Xia Qiuru didn't like it either.

Neither knew what to say, so silence beca their only choice...

"What would you like to drink?"

At that mont, a person dressed as a waiter ca over and broke the silence.

"Macchiato."

Xia Qiuru casually said, then looked at Su Chen:

"What about you?"

"Mocha, I guess."

At that mont, Su Chen really didn't care what he drank and said just any coffee.

The waiter took note and left.

"I seem to rember that you used to love latte. Why the change today?"

Su Chen had also had coffee with Xia Qiuru a few tis before, so he was aware of her preference.

"It's nice of you to rember, but I wanted a macchiato today."

Xia Qiuru showed a slightly bitter smile.

"Why?"

Su Chen found her response a bit odd.

Xia Qiuru smiled faintly, softly opened her painted lips, and said:

"Do you know that every type of coffee has a aning?"

Su Chen shook his head, as he had indeed never considered this.

"Macchiato ans 'marked.'

Xia Qiuru looked at Su Chen, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.

"I need to tuck my feelings for you away, to preserve this mark that belongs to !"

After hearing Xia Qiuru's slightly decisive words, Su Chen was once again at a loss for words...

"I... I..."

Su Chen seed to want to say sothing, but found he truly didn't know what to say.

"You don't need to feel guilty or anything, this is my own issue, it's just being foolish."

Xia Qiuru shook her head with a self-deprecating smile.

"The coffee for both of you is ready."

Just then, the waiter ca over and placed the coffees in front of them.

"Thank you!"

Xia Qiuru said, then fell silent again, quietly stirring her coffee.

Su Chen didn't drink his coffee either and, after a long while, he sighed softly:

"Qiuru, I'm aware of your feelings for , but I can't accept them because I—am already married."

Since he had brought it up, Su Chen decided not to hide anymore but to explain things clearly.

However, Su Chen hadn't expected that his explanation would only make things worse. The mont he explained, Xia Qiuru's pretty face instantly was covered with frost, and she stood up abruptly: Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

"Su Chen, I don't bla you for not liking , but do you find it amusing to make up such lies?"

"I, Xia Qiuru, am not shaless. I don't need you to push away with such thods. I'm not that despicable!"

The decibels in Xia Qiuru's voice rose higher as she spoke, and by the end, she was almost shouting, attracting sidelong glances from others in the coffee shop since it was usually a very quiet place.

"Qiuru, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm telling the truth!"

Su Chen was completely baffled by Xia Qiuru's sudden anger!

"Really?"

Xia Qiuru realized she had been too excited, and deliberately lowered her voice a bit, though the anger on her face was clearly visible. She gritted her teeth and said:

"Do you think I'm stupid, or do you think Lin Ruoxue is stupid? If you had a wife, would soone like Lin Ruoxue be with you? Don't tell Lin Ruoxue has nothing to do with you!"

"Lin Ruoxue indeed has sothing to do with ."

"Good that you admit it!"

"Because Lin Ruoxue is my wife!"

Su Chen said lightly.

Xia Qiuru was stunned for a mont, her beautiful eyes wide open, staring fixedly at Su Chen.

"Because Lin Ruoxue is my wife!"

That sentence from Su Chen replayed in Xia Qiuru's mind over and over again...

All the anger, all the sadness, all the emotions at that mont turned into shock!

"You just, just said, Lin Ruoxue is... your wife?"

Xia Qiuru asked again, incredulously struggling for words.

"Yes, she is my wife."

Su Chen nodded:

"But Ruoxue doesn't want others to know about our relationship yet, which is why I didn't say anything before."

"So that's it, now I understand everything!"

Xia Qiuru also sat down sowhat dejectedly, the corners of her mouth revealing a self-mocking smile.

"Qiuru, are you okay?"

Su Chen asked with so concern.

"I'm fine."

Xia Qiuru lightly waved her hand and said:

"Sorry, Su Chen, I misunderstood you before."

"It's okay, no problem."

Su Chen said carelessly, not minding at all.

"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, and can we still be good friends in the future?"

Xia Qiuru bit her lip slightly and asked sincerely.

"Of course, I always like making friends with beautiful won."

Now that their misunderstanding was resolved, Su Chen felt very relieved. In a good mood, he began to speak cheekily again...
