Chapter 1122: Female Secretary
The couple made their way to the kitchen, their conversation flowing effortlessly as they discussed recent events.
Gu Zi shared with Su Shen how she had reluctantly accepted the university’s translation work and even disclosed the true reason behind Jiang Yao’s attempt to climb the wall.
They were both so engrossed in their lively discussion that they hardly noticed the three Su siblings in the corner, exchanging knowing looks, their hearts heavy with a mixture of admiration and jealousy.

Su Bing, sensing the night was drawing near, hesitated to let the younger two open the door and decided to take matters into his own hands. He opened the door only to be confronted by a woman dressed in a sharp business suit, her smile impeccable and her posture radiating professionalism.

The woman’s smile didn’t falter. Even in the face of his frosty reception, she remained composed. "You must be Mr. Su’s eldest son, right? I’ve heard so much about you from your father. I’m here to speak with him—please, could you let me in and pass on a message?"
