It's Drafty

Meanwhile.

Su Group.

Another half hour passed. Su Hua put down the documents and glanced at the wall clock.

It was five minutes before it was time to get off work.

Su Hua stood up from her chair and began to tidy up the documents on her desk.

A senior executive entered the CEO's office.

He saw Su Hua's outfit.

And froze for a moment.

President Su's dressing style had actually undergone a massive change. She was wearing a blue cheongsam, exuding an air of infinite charm and elegance.

In the past, she had always worn business suits to work.

This figure...

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, the executive quickly shook it away.

President Su was not someone he could covet.

And her hairstyle. President Su used to always have big wavy curls, but now she had long, straight black hair...

None of this was the main point. The main point was that her eyes and brows actually revealed a hint of gentleness.

It was as if she had become a completely different person. If it weren't for the fact that President Su's beauty was too aggressively striking and he had a very deep impression of her, he really would have thought she had been swapped with someone else.

The executive reined in his thoughts and began to report on work to Su Hua.

"President Su, I came over this time mainly to tell you about..."

Before he could finish, Su Hua raised a hand and interrupted him.

"It's time to get off work now. Whatever it is, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"But, this matter is quite urgent..." The executive hesitated.

"Just report it to Jiang Qing."

Su Hua picked up her phone. "I'm getting off work. You may leave."

"Yes, President Su." The executive could only agree for now.

After walking out of the office, he looked back, his face full of confusion.

Manager Wang happened to pass by. He raised an eyebrow and said, "I told you that you would be kicked out."

The executive frowned and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

"General Manager Li, you just came back from the overseas branch, so you don't know yet. President Su doesn't work overtime anymore. She basically leaves right on time."

"Why is that?" General Manager Li's eyes grew even more confused.

He remembered that in the past, when he was still at the Su Group headquarters, President Su was a workaholic who wished she could eat, sleep, and live in the company.

How could she be getting off work right on the dot?

This was completely out of character for President Su.

"Because of a man," Manager Wang said with absolute certainty.

"A man? Are you talking about Young Master Lin?" the executive asked curiously.

The news of President Su and Young Master Lin being together had caused quite a stir within the company. Even though he had been far away in Africa, he still knew a little about it.

But what did President Su leaving work on time have to do with Young Master Lin?

"That's right, it's Young Master Lin," Manager Wang explained. "As soon as it's time, President Su has to go back to accompany Young Master Lin. With a man waiting for her at home, how could President Su have any mind left to stay in the company and face this cold, lifeless work?"

The executive was dumbfounded. "Young Master Lin can actually change President Su's personality and habits?"

He had thought that even if President Su and Young Master Lin were together, it would at most mean there was an extra man by President Su's side, and everything else would remain the same.

But as it turned out, President Su had completely changed her workaholic nature?

"Exactly." Manager Wang nodded. He glanced around, leaned closer to the executive, and lowered his voice. "Let me tell you, don't be fooled by President Su's extremely aloof demeanor. In reality, she is the ultimate hopeless romantic. In President Su's eyes, Young Master Lin is her top priority. She would do anything for him."

"In short, from now on in the company, even if you offend President Su, do not offend Young Master Lin."

Not to mention that President Su would protect Young Master Lin, even Young Master Lin's own methods were more than an ordinary person could handle.

"Oh, okay."

The executive nodded, half-believing and half-doubting.

His brows were tightly furrowed.

Why did he feel that Manager Wang's words were so unreliable?

How could President Su possibly be a hopeless romantic? And an ultimate one at that!

Inside the CEO's office.

Su Hua picked up her phone and was just about to leave the office.

Suddenly, the notification sound of WeChat rang on her phone.

She glanced at it; it was a message from Lin Xuan.

Su Hua immediately tapped it open.

Then she saw the message Lin Xuan had sent.

[Hua, I still have to be busy with the research project at the university, so I won't go back just yet. I'll probably head back in about three hours.]

Su Hua pursed her lips, and the aura around her turned chilly.

Old Master Su, unwilling to give up, called Su Hua again.

"Hello."

Su Hua answered, her voice tinged with a hint of coldness.

Old Master Su frowned deeply.

Why did Hua'er's tone sound a bit off?

However, it was probably just his imagination.

Ever since Hua'er and Little Xuan got together, her emotions had been quite stable.

"Hua'er." Old Master Su started to play the pity card again. He pouted, looking as if he was about to cry. "Can't you come over to the old manor? How can those hired helpers compare to my own..." own granddaughter?

Before Old Master Su could finish, Su Hua spoke up, "I'll head over to the old manor in a bit."

Since Ah Xuan wasn't there, there was no need for her to return to Night Manor.

Hearing Su Hua's words, Old Master Su's eyes lit up. He thought he had misheard and tentatively asked again, "Hua'er, did you just say you're coming back to the old manor?"

"Yes." Su Hua nodded.

Old Master Su's heart swelled with excitement.

He hadn't misheard!

Hua'er is really coming to the old manor to keep this old man company.

"Hua'er."

Old Master Su was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits.

"You still have this grandfather in your heart."

Look at that, the moment he played the pity card, Hua'er agreed to come see him.

This granddaughter of his was just not good at expressing her feelings. Deep down, she definitely cared about him very much.

The old butler pricked up his ears.

Why did he feel like the young miss wasn't coming over purely to keep the old master company?

There had to be some other reason for her sudden change of mind.

And this reason was definitely related to Young Master Lin.

Su Hua said expressionlessly, "Ah Xuan is busy with his research at the university and hasn't returned to Night Manor. Since I have time now, I'll come over."

Old Master Su's face stiffened.

Because Old Master Su's phone was on speaker, the old butler also heard Su Hua's words loud and clear.

"Pfft."

The old butler couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahahaha."

For fear of being noticed by Old Master Su, he quickly covered his mouth after letting out a few laughs.

Su Hua hung up the phone.

Old Master Su clutched his chest with a look of agony. "Ouch, she's breaking my heart! Breaking my heart!"

He had thought his granddaughter genuinely wanted to spend time with this old man.

But as it turned out.

She was only coming over because Little Xuan couldn't keep her company.

Even if that was the reason, couldn't this child Hua'er at least lie to him and say she was coming over just to see him?

And another thing!

Old Master Su glared at the old butler.

The old butler felt his hair stand on end from the stare. "Old Master, wh-what's wrong? Why do you keep staring at me?"
