"It's for you." After entering Su Qingyue's office, Jiang Che casually handed her the bouquet of roses.
"Are you trying to apologize?" Su Qingyue raised her head and stared at Jiang Che expressionlessly. She hadn't forgotten that Jiang Che had forcibly kissed her before leaving yesterday.
"That's right."
"You still have a conscience," Su Qingyue complained, placing the roses on the table beside her. Although she felt a little happy inside, she had received roses from Jiang Che before. The implication was different now, after all; they were now boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Is there anything specific you want to tell me today?" After putting the roses away, Su Qingyue looked at Jiang Che curiously.
"It's nothing; I just wanted to come and see you," Jiang Che replied nonchalantly.
"Well, look at me. I'm busy with work." Su Qingyue gave Jiang Che a disapproving look and began to review the documents in front of her. Unlike the carefree Jiang Che, who seemed to have endless free time, she had a mountain of paperwork to deal with every day. Because she had to manage everything herself, it was normal for her to be busy until the early hours of the night.
Jiang Che didn't bother her either; he quietly admired her as she worked. It was the first time he felt a woman could be so attractive. Especially in her current serious work mode, with a focused expression and slightly furrowed brows, she radiated an air of intensity.
Jiang Che watched Su Qingyue, his mind wandering to Xiao Han, the protagonist from The Master Descends the Mountain. He hadn't seen him since their last encounter at the bar. He was curious about what this guy was secretly planning. Logically, since Su Qingyue did not recognize their engagement, Xiao Han should have made a scene at the Su Group. Ye Chen and Xiao Han would likely end up in direct conflict, but it seemed Xiao Han was biding his time, as he hadn't shown up at Su Qingyue's company, avoiding any clashes with Ye Chen.
Considering the timeline, the members of Ye Chen's Mercenary Corps had almost all entered the country now, and they should be at the clubhouse in the northern part of the city. With so many undocumented entrants in the country, Ye Chen had certainly taken a risk. While one or two might slip through, hundreds of mercenaries smuggling in was bound to attract attention.
Since this guy insisted on making things difficult for himself, Jiang Che thought he might as well fulfill his little ambition.
"It's finally over..." Su Qingyue sighed as she set down the documents, stretching her arms and rubbing her aching shoulders.
"Finished? Let's go have a meal together," Jiang Che suggested, glancing at his watch; it was already past noon.
"Um." Su Qingyue nodded, not refusing. The two were now in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and it was normal to have a meal together. As she spent more time with Jiang Che, she found herself less resistant to him. She realized Jiang Che was quite impressive—handsome, capable, and wealthy... Though he could be a jerk at times, always trying to bully her!
The two walked out of Su Qingyue's office together and headed toward the elevator. Ye Chen followed them silently from behind.
"Why? Do you still want to get beaten?" Jiang Che turned back, a disdainful smile on his lips as he regarded Ye Chen. The last time he had gone out to dinner with Su Qingyue, this guy had already been taught a lesson, and he still hadn't learned his lesson.
Ye Chen's face darkened, but he chose not to follow them any longer. He knew Jiang Che could do what he wanted; if he continued to shadow them, he would definitely end up on the receiving end of another beating.
Seeing the two walk away together, Ye Chen's mind raced. It seemed he couldn't delay getting a gun any longer; who knew what kind of trouble might arise next? Thinking this, he left the Su Group directly. He had already researched a contact and planned to see if there was a way out.
As he exited the Su Group, a man in a suit and leather shoes approached, holding a rose and slicking back his hair. The man stopped directly in front of Ye Chen and began to speak enthusiastically.
"Brother, are you an employee of the Su Group?" the man asked, excitement evident in his eyes.
"Is there a problem?" Ye Chen nodded, looking at the man curiously. He couldn't understand why this guy was so excited.
"Then is your President Su here?" the man continued.
"Do you have business with our President Su?" Ye Chen frowned. During his time as Su Qingyue's bodyguard, he had met many business leaders but had never seen the man in front of him.
"Of course, something has come up; I'm her fiancé!" the man said solemnly.
Ye Chen: ? ? ?
