Su Lu immediately felt a chilling coldness and couldn’t help but think that Su Yukang was always bringing up Gu Xin for no reason.

The man sitting across from Su Lu was like someone suffering from Gu Xin stress syndrome.

No matter how good his mood was, when he heard the name, Gu Xin, his face turned coldly instantly.

Su Lu couldn’t be bothered to talk to Su Yukang anymore and ended the call.

Bo Jingshen had a cold gaze as he sipped his coffee, remaining silent.

Fortunately, Jiang Li arrived shortly after, entering through the hotel’s entrance with his head down.

He glanced at Su Jiao’s back in the waiting area before hurrying up to the second floor.

“Huff… huff…”

Jiang Li was panting. It was unknown whether he was angry or running.

He rushed towards their table and picked up the untouched glass of lemonade from beside Bo Jingshen, chugging it down.

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

“You still have the nerve to say that!” Jiang Li glared at Bo Jingshen, “Wasn’t it you who told me to hurry up?”

Su Lu couldn’t help but size up this renowned playboy of Feng City.

She felt that he was completely different from what she had imagined. Was he really this obedient?

“Want something to eat?” Bo Jingshen asked.

Jiang Li waved his hand, “I’m not hungry, I’ve already eaten.”

“Alright then.” Bo Jingshen lifted his chin. “Go ahead.”

Jiang Li almost burst out laughing, “Do you think I’m Pikachu? Go ahead? What kind of ‘go ahead’ is that?”

The corners of Su Lu’s mouth were about to crack.

Jiang Li looked at her, and Su Lu lowered her gaze like an innocent little animal.

“Sigh, Su Lu, in the end, this is all your fault, right?” Jiang Li’s words didn’t carry any complaints, only a sense of helplessness.

Su Lu replied, “Well, you can’t put it that way. After all, she came because of you… well, you can consider it being attracted by your fame.”

Jiang Li looked at Su Lu in disbelief.

He had never noticed before that she had the potential to be humorous.

Jiang Li, like a heroic warrior rushing into battle, said, “Alright, I’m off! In any case, the two of you…”

He glanced at Bo Jingshen and said, “If you refuse to invest in me, it would be an unforgivable injustice!” Then he turned to Su Lu and added, “If you don’t collaborate with me on that project, it would be a breach of trust!”

Su Lu pressed her palms together and rubbed them together like a fly, filled with a pleading gesture.

Compared to Jiang Li’s hurried footsteps when he came running.

His footsteps as he went downstairs were noticeably lighter.

As she watched him leave, Su Lu softly asked Bo Jingshen, “Is it too difficult for Jiang Li?”

“Not to that extent.” Bo Jingshen glanced at her, “Jiang Er is just like you.”

“Huh?” Su Lu didn’t understand.

“He’s very used to these kinds of situations and knows how to handle them,” Bo Jingshen explained without any hint of mockery or sarcasm.

“I didn’t…” Su Lu trailed off, unsure of what to say.

Bo Jingshen didn’t wait for her to deny it. He added lightly, “It’s what they call the standard social interaction in high society.”

Su Lu had initially wanted to refute this, but after thinking about it, she realized that she had encountered Bo Jingshen three times at social gatherings, including the incident at Yunding.

Furthermore, she had been caught by him once, and in the case of being forced to drink by Liu Qiming in Hai City, Bo Jingshen had even come to her rescue…

It seemed that she didn’t have the confidence to retort.

Downstairs, Jiang Li had already approached Su Jiao.

There was an impeccable smile on his face. It was probably the kind of smile that Bo Jingshen described as customary in high society.

The moment Su Jiao saw Jiang Li, her face, which was originally distorted due to anger, instantly smoothed out and turned into a charming smile. It was as if the gloominess from before had never appeared.

Moreover, the two of them even looked like they were having a good conversation.

It had to be said that this was the kind of skill one developed from frequently dealing with such occasions.

When Bo Jingshen and Su Lu were nearly done eating, they noticed that Su Jiao and Jiang Li had already left the hotel lobby together. They did not know where Su Jiao and Jiang Li were going.

“Let’s go,” Bo Jingshen said. “After all, it’s not the first time Su Yukang has tried to set them up, and he can handle it.”

“Indeed… it’s been difficult for him,” Su Lu said.

Bo Jingshen replied, “Don’t worry about Jiang Er. Even if all the renowned ladies in Feng City take turns, they won’t be able to take him down. He has someone in his heart. These are all superficial social obligations.”

Su Lu and Bo Jingshen returned to their room.

They originally thought that there would be some awkwardness, but there was none at all. One of them occupied the desk, and the other took the dining table. They both had their respective tasks to attend to, resulting in an unusually harmonious atmosphere.

It felt reminiscent of the time when Bo Jingshen had to study for exams and Su Lu had to paint.

Although they were in the same space, neither of them interfered with the other, demonstrating a sense of harmony and understanding.

Su Yukang didn’t call again to berate her, likely because he was satisfied with the meeting between Jiang Li and Su Jiao.

He only sent a message over, “That’s more like it! Sisters should support each other! Otherwise, why did I raise you for so many years? But no matter what, you should try your best to introduce Jiao Jiao to President Bo. I heard from Liu Qiming that you’re quite close to President Bo?”

Su Lu ignored the message and turned off her phone screen, focusing on the documents on her computer screen.

At noon, she finally finished her work. She closed her laptop and ground the coffee beans on the tea table. She put the coffee powder that emitted a strong fragrance into the mocha pot and slowly brewed a pot of fragrant black coffee.

Su Lu took only one sip and let out a contented sigh.

Then, she poured another cup and walked quietly into the inner room, placing it on the desk.

Bo Jingshen looked up at her.

“I made it. Give it a try,” Su Lu said.

Bo Jingshen took a sip from the cup and to his surprise, it tasted delicious. His eyebrows raised slightly.

He took another sip, glanced at his watch, and stood up with the cup in his hand. “Let’s go.”

“Where are we going?” Su Lu asked, holding the cup with both hands and blinking.

“Jiang Li got the yacht he ordered. He said he wants to test it out in Hai City and have a yacht party. Today.”

“Today?” Su Lu thought about Jiang Li and Su Jiao leaving together in the morning…

She didn’t voice her thoughts, but Bo Jingshen seemed to understand.

“He probably doesn’t want to deal with Su Jiao alone,” Bo Jingshen said.

It was evident that Su Jiao was a difficult person to handle.

Su Lu thought about Su Jiao’s personality and felt that it was not so difficult to understand Jiang Li’s situation.

But before heading to the yacht party, they made a stop at the hospital.

On this matter, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding.

Bo Jingshen said, “I need to change my dressing. You can go to the Medical Cosmetics Department first. I’ll come and find you after I’m done.”

Su Lu disagreed with Bo Jingshen’s arrangement and shook her head. “I’ll accompany you to change your dressing first.”

Bo Jingshen fell silent for a few seconds and then nodded. “Alright.”

No one objected to Su Lu’s accompanying Bo Jingshen into the treatment room, so Su Lu sat on a nearby chair and watched as the nurse removed the bandages from his wound. She carefully picked out the fine threads that resembled centipede legs and pulled out the sections of blackened flesh from his skin.

Her fingertips… instinctively pressed into her palm, causing a few sticky strands of blood to seep out.
