"This matter must be reported to the chairman."
Xia Qiuru pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the chairman's office.
"Chairman Lin, I have something that I must report to you."
As soon as Xia Qiuru pushed open the grand door of the chairman's office, she saw an unimaginably beautiful woman who was just about to walk out.
If Su Chen had seen this woman, he would have been greatly surprised because she was his wife, at least in name—Lin Ruoxue!
"Qiuru, it's you. Let's talk about it tomorrow. My mom has her birthday tonight, and I need to hurry or I won't make it in time,"
Lin Ruoxue apologized with a smile and then left like a whirlwind, leaving Xia Qiuru with no choice but to return to her office, the image of that man who had said her cup size was small flashing in her mind.
Having wandered the streets for half a day, Su Chen glanced at the time and saw it was already past five o'clock, so he turned and headed in the direction of Grand Epoch Court; after all, he still had to join Lin Ruoxue for dinner at the old house in the evening.
As Su Chen arrived at the entrance, a BMW 7 Series happened to pull up behind him, and parked outside the villa—it was obviously Lin Ruoxue arriving home.
The two entered the house one after the other. Lin Ruoxue went straight upstairs upon entering, while Su Chen sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and began to smoke contentedly.
"Thud, thud, thud"
A few minutes later, footsteps were heard on the stairs, and Su Chen looked up to find his eyes suddenly widening because Lin Ruoxue looked stunningly beautiful at that moment!
Even though Su Chen's heart was usually calm, he couldn't help but feel amazed!
Moreover, Lin Ruoxue had applied a light makeup, which made her already captivating beauty even more enchanting, with her black, lustrous hair tossed stylishly to one side!
Su Chen was stunned by the beautiful sight, frozen for several seconds.
When Lin Ruoxue looked up and saw Su Chen staring intently at her, she felt a mixture of annoyance and shyness—this jerk seemed to be looking at her like this for the first time!
This stirred a slight ripple in her heart!
However, her gaze quickly cooled down again:
"Why haven't you changed your clothes yet? Do you really intend to go to my mother's birthday banquet like this?"
When Lin Ruoxue saw Su Chen wearing an old, unsightly T-shirt and baggy shorts with flip-flops, anger surged within her heart!
Su Chen felt Lin Ruoxue's gaze and turned his head to look at her, his expression returning to normal.
Seeing that he had turned to look, Lin Ruoxue quickly turned her head away and continued driving, focusing on the road ahead.
In her heart, she secretly thought: The feeling she had for that moment must have been an illusion, definitely!
Soon, they arrived at the Lin Family's old house. Lin Ruoxue parked the car in an open space in front of the courtyard, and they walked towards the house together. Before entering the courtyard, Lin Ruoxue uncharacteristically took Su Chen's arm.
Su Chen was totally baffled by Lin Ruoxue's sudden gesture and stared at her in disbelief. Could his charm be so great that it caused the Ice Beauty to throw herself into his arms willingly?
Lin Ruoxue seemed to read Su Chen's thoughts and said softly, "I just don't want to worry my parents and grandfather."
Hearing Lin Ruoxue's words, Su Chen revealed an expression of understanding, as he immediately knew what Lin Ruoxue was thinking.
After all, they were legally husband and wife, and those who cared about her naturally hoped that they would be a loving couple living happily together.
If she were distant from Su Chen, as parents and grandfather, they would inevitably be concerned and anxious.
Lin Ruoxue's actions were solely to prevent her parents and grandfather from worrying about her, and for the first time, Su Chen looked at Lin Ruoxue seriously and smiled knowingly.
This seemingly cold goddess had a heart that actually knew how to consider others, after all!
However, as a man, he could not let a woman take the initiative. Su Chen withdrew the arm Lin Ruoxue had taken and suddenly embraced her.
Lin Ruoxue shuddered; she had not expected Su Chen to suddenly wrap his arms around her.
Out of instinct, Lin Ruoxue tried to break free, but she hadn't anticipated that Su Chen's grip would be as unyielding as a vice, making it impossible for her to escape.
"If you're going to play a role, play it thoroughly. Be serious; we're being watched!" Su Chen whispered in Lin Ruoxue's ear.
By then, Su Chen had already walked into the courtyard with his arm around Lin Ruoxue's waist, and as soon as they entered, they immediately captured the gaze of several servants bustling in the courtyard.
The servants, witnessing the closeness between Lin Ruoxue and Su Chen, were taken aback.
Lin Ruoxue, seeing this scene, resigned herself to being embraced by him.
"Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you embrace my sister?" At that moment, a haughty voice called out.
Following suit, a young man in LEVIS jeans and a black and brown leather jacket stood in front of Su Chen...
