The executives pricked up their ears.
It was a man. His voice was quite pleasant, but Su Hua was known to keep men at arm's length. No matter how nice the voice, it wouldn’t sway her.
Right now, Su Hua was in a rage, and this man had undoubtedly walked straight into the line of fire.
The executives silently lit a candle for Lin Xuan in their hearts.
But then! Su Hua, who had been exuding an icy aura as if ready to destroy the world, suddenly softened.
Everyone: “???” What just happened?
Su Hua picked up her phone and said gently, “Wait a moment.”
The executives widened their eyes in shock. Su Hua, being this gentle?
Astonishing!
Su Hua spoke calmly, “Take a break for now. I need to take this call.”
She walked out of the meeting room with her phone in hand.
As soon as Su Hua left, the executives erupted into chaos.
All professionalism vanished!
Now, they resembled a group of gossiping elders sitting at the village entrance.
“What’s going on? What’s going on? Why did Su Hua suddenly become so gentle and sweet? I’m not used to this.”
“The voice on the phone sounded like a young man, and judging by the tone, he’s probably good-looking. Could it be that Su Hua has a boyfriend?”
“A boyfriend? Impossible. Su Hua is so detached. Countless men have tried to get close to her, but have any of them even touched a corner of her sleeve?”
“Honestly, I think this might be the real deal!”
“Hey, do you think if Su Hua starts dating, she’d be the one dominating or the one being dominated?”
“Su Hua is so strong-willed. She’d definitely be the one dominating!”
“I’m not so sure. Did you see how tender she just became? No matter how strong a woman is, she’ll turn soft in front of the man she loves.”
They debated fervently.
Most of them still believed that even if this man was indeed Su Hua’s, he was likely just a kept man, someone to satisfy her physical needs.
Su Hua was the type of person who lived for her work and would never let herself get entangled in emotions.
In Su Hua’s office.
Su Hua’s voice was soft, “Lin Xuan, I’m done. What did you need?”
This was the first time Lin Xuan had actively called her, and her eyes sparkled with joy.
“Were you working just now?” Lin Xuan asked with a frown.
“Yes, I was in a meeting,” Su Hua replied.
“It’s noon already. You should eat. Su Hua, take care of your health,” Lin Xuan reminded her.
“Mhm,” Su Hua’s eyes curved into a smile.
This version of him was so good.
She wished he would stay like this forever.
Otherwise…
A hint of ferocity flashed in Su Hua’s eyes.
Even if she had to break his limbs, she would keep him by her side.
If he tried to end his life, she would let him die, then turn his body into a specimen to accompany her. Or perhaps, she’d consume his ashes, so they could become one.
Lin Xuan said, “Are you at the company? I’ll come over.”
Su Hua was about to nod when she remembered Jiang Qing’s words.
Men shouldn’t be pushed too hard. They need space.
But she couldn’t bear to refuse him.
Su Hua remained silent for a long time.
Lin Xuan, not hearing a response, asked with concern, “Su Hua?”
Su Hua finally spoke, pinching the bridge of her nose, “You don’t need to come. I’m a bit tired and want to take a nap at the office.”
“Then make sure you eat on time,” Lin Xuan insisted.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Su Hua’s lips curled into a smile.
After hanging up, she returned to the meeting room with her phone in hand.
The heated discussion among the executives came to an abrupt halt the moment Su Hua walked in.
Su Hua took her seat at the head of the table.
“Manager Lin,” her voice was noticeably less stern than before.
“Yes, Su Hua,” the project manager wiped sweat from his brow.
Su Hua tossed the project proposal he had submitted onto the table.
“Go back and revise it. Work overtime if you have to. I want it on my desk in five days.”
The project manager was stunned.
That’s it?
Su Hua frowned, “Any questions?”
“No, Su Hua. I’ll make sure to do thorough research and deliver a solid project plan,” the project manager quickly shook his head.
“That’s all for today. Meeting adjourned,” Su Hua stood up from her chair.
“Su Hua, if I may ask, what’s the relationship between you and the man you were speaking to earlier? Is he a subordinate, or…” one executive dared to ask.
All eyes turned to Su Hua.
Their eyes gleamed with curiosity!
Su Hua glanced at the executive.
The executive wiped the sweat from his forehead. He must have lost his mind to pry into Su Hua’s personal affairs.
As the executive trembled with fear, Su Hua spoke gently, “He’s my man.”
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
