By the ti Su Chen returned to Lin Ruoxue's villa from the municipal party committee compound, it was already close to seven. As soon as he entered the door, he slled the delicious aroma wafting through the air.
"Sister Wang, what delightful dish have you made?"
Su Chen asked with a smile.
"You're back? Where did you go again today?"
At that mont, a faint voice rose from the sofa. Although it wasn't as icy as before, Su Chen could still detect a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Oh, wifey, you're back too!"
Without hesitation, Su Chen darted to Lin Ruoxue's side, but just as he was about to wrap his arm around her fragrant shoulder, Lin Ruoxue pushed him away with a cold expression:
"Look at the ti."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen was taken aback.
He knew that previously, no matter when he returned, Lin Ruoxue hardly ever asked him about it. What was different today?
In fact, Lin Ruoxue didn't know why she felt this way either. She used to not bother asking him where he had been.
Today, for so reason, seeing him co ho this late infuriated her!
"Oh, wifey, I just went to a friend's house today."
Su Chen lifted his hand to swear:
"I promise I behaved and didn't cause any trouble."
"Young Master, Miss, dinner is ready."
Just then, Sister Wang called out from the kitchen.
"Okay, let's have dinner first."
Lin Ruoxue spoke up and stood up. She was only slightly angry to begin with, and asking him made her feel much better, her irritation eased.
Moreover, he had given his assurance that he hadn't done anything improper, so she didn't feel like probing further. Truth be told, it wasn't in her nature.
The three of them started dinner amiably, with Lin Ruoxue still acting a bit cold toward Su Chen, even though her anger had already subsided.
However, after dinner, Su Chen's playful cajoling eventually ward Lin Ruoxue's deanor, and her mood lightened up a little.
Around nine-ish, Lin Ruoxue went upstairs to continue working, Sister Wang retreated to her room to rest, and Su Chen naturally carried on with his usual routine, returning to his estate to practice cultivation.
.....
In the following days, Su Chen's life was uneventful and quite enjoyable.
Ever since his relationship with Xia Qiuru thawed from the cold front it had hit before, the two seed to have genuinely beco good friends.
Hence, aside from frequently visiting Lin Ruoxue's office, Xia Qiuru's office had also beco an open destination for him.
In short, during the day, Su Chen could be found either in the public relations departnt, Lin Ruoxue's office, or at Xia Qiuru's place.
And these places all had one thing in common. As for what that common thing was, of course, it was the presence of beautiful won!
Over these days, Pei Rou also called. Inadvertently, she let slip that Pei Man had already returned to Yandu.
Ye i and Xiao Yaning were also busy preparing for their trip to Europe, as it was their first real ti going abroad, they naturally had to prepare adequately.

It was said that taking advantage of the weekend, many had already gone shopping for swimsuits, and Su Chen was naturally very pleased to hear this news!
In the anti, Du Hanshuang had co to look for him once, to avoid the trouble of her visiting again, especially the fear of her suddenly calling him brother-in-law, Su Chen had no choice but to take almost an entire afternoon to properly accompany her in her craziness.
However, these last few days, be it inside the group or outside, the most common news Su Chen heard was regarding the Jiangnan Comrce Association's exchange eting.
Even soone like Su Chen, who had no interest in such matters, had lots of this kind of information poured into his ears, such as the fact that the Jiangnan Comrce Association's exchange eting was held once every three years, and that it was jointly hosted by the Four Great Families of Jiangnan, not to ntion that this gala banquet was the highest standard banquet in the Jiangnan business community!
In the eyes of those people, this exchange banquet gathered almost all of the foremost people of Jiangnan, truly a gathering where eminent scholars chatted and laughed, with no commoners in sight!
Almost everyone regarded attending this exchange banquet as the highest honor, naturally, it was also a symbol of their own status!
And those ladies of fashion, stars, and models naturally set their sights on this grand event!
Of course, the ones who valued this exchange banquet the most were still the businessn, and Lin Ruoxue had reminded Su Chen more than once that no matter what he had, he must accompany her to attend on Friday night!
Ti flew and it was indeed Friday. At breakfast that morning, Lin Ruoxue, who was usually very decisive and capable, took the ti to specially instruct Su Chen again to tuck his tail in and behave himself at the banquet that evening.
From this, one could see how important Lin Ruoxue deed this exchange dinner to be!
Su Chen imdiately nodded and agreed, in any case, he felt nothing for this banquet and intended to go for the food and drink, presuming that such an occasion would certainly not lack delicacies.
After breakfast, they both drove separately to the company as usual.
Su Chen naturally went to the Public Relations departnt first, as usual joking around with the beautiful ladies and being a little too familiar with each other, it was all part of the daily routine anyway!
Then he visited Lin Ruoxue's office, and seeing that she was really busy and had no ti to spare for him, he went to Xia Qiuru's office after.
Unfortunately, Xia Qiuru was not in her office and was said to have gone out on business.
Having nothing better to do, Su Chen returned to the Public Relations departnt and started to read so magazines...
Ti passed second by second, and Su Chen managed to kill a day's worth of boring ti.
Half an hour before the end of work in the afternoon, Lin Ruoxue called him and asked him to co ho right away.
When Su Chen heard the urgency in Lin Ruoxue's voice, he thought sothing was wrong, but when he got ho, it turned out she just wanted him to change clothes.
Su Chen, who had no interest in banquets to begin with, was quite reluctant to change clothes.
However, seeing Lin Ruoxue's expression darken, he quickly and awkwardly put on the suit she had helped him buy last ti.
Now, Lin Ruoxue's facial expressions were the best signs for Su Chen!
Seeing Su Chen changed into his clothes, looking every bit the gentleman, she then nodded in satisfaction.
Afterward, Su Chen drove Lin Ruoxue's car towards the venue of the Jiangnan Comrce Association exchange banquet — the Tianding Grand Hotel!
The reason for choosing Lin Ruoxue's car instead of his BMW 5 Series was because the latter seed too modest for such an occasion!
At this ti, it was peak hour for leaving work, so traffic jams were everywhere, but the exchange banquet wasn't starting until 7:30 pm, so there was no hurry for them.
Around seven o'clock, they arrived leisurely at the entrance of Tianding Grand Hotel...
