Chapter 426 Lin Ruoxue Who Did Something Wrong
"Miss, do you need any service?"
Ye Mei's office door was ajar, when suddenly a tapping of fingers on the glass rang out, followed by a sly voice.
Engrossed in her work, Ye Mei felt a flame of irritation ignite in her eyes at the sound, but a flash of surprise crossed her face upon seeing that mischievous smile, which she quickly concealed.
"What brings a busy person like you to my humble abode today?"
Ye Mei asked with a hint of coldness in her voice. She had called him three days ago, and his presence now indicated he hadn't taken her seriously at all.
"Yo, you're still mad? But look, I've come, haven't I?"
Su Chen took a seat in the chair in front of her desk with ease:
"What do you need me for?"
"There was something, but it's not needed now. You can go back to your own stuff!"
Ye Mei was indeed telling the truth, but her words carried a hint of petulance, like a girl whining to her boyfriend.
It must be said, sometimes Su Chen was quite slow to catch on in emotional matters. For example, right now he asked with some confusion:
"What was it that you needed?"
"You're such a blockhead!"
Ye Mei cursed silently in her heart, then responded coolly:
"I was originally going to ask you to accompany me to Europe, but now the plans have been delayed. We can talk about it later."
Indeed, she was supposed to meet with someone from Almei Group, but due to recent issues with the Liu Family, she negotiated a postponement with the other party.
After all, with the Liu Family's fall, everyone in Jiangnan's business circles was scrambling for a piece of the pie, and Ye Mei was no exception, hence her preoccupation lately.
The folks at Almei had promptly sought guidance from the Phillip Family. She had expected some annoyance on their part, but instead, they contacted her directly, conveying their willingness to meet anytime and hinting at wanting to meet the original owner of the pendant.
"Alright, just let me know when you're going, and that'll do."
Su Chen was rather indifferent to this. He'd consider it a leisure trip; after all, it had been over a year since his last visit.
"By the way, are you involved with the Liu Family incident?"
Ye Mei suddenly asked, her beautiful eyes fixed tightly on Su Chen.
She knew that Su Chen was no ordinary man and that he had quite a few beefs with the Liu Family.
"How could that be?" Su Chen was briefly startled before he laughed, "Do you really think I'm capable of pulling off such a thing?"
"Maybe I am overthinking it."
"Husband, I..."
Lin Ruoxue didn't know why, but seeing Su Chen like this, she suddenly felt a bit panicked...
"You've got another half hour. In half an hour, you must go back to the bedroom to rest!"
Su Chen gave a cold snort and walked out.
"Oh, got it."
Lin Ruoxue sounded like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to retort.
After Su Chen walked out of the study, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corners of his mouth:
"Seems like this trick still works pretty well!"
Actually, when he had returned home just now and saw that Lin Ruoxue wasn't resting, he was indeed a bit angry.
After going downstairs, Su Chen went to his room to practice Cultivation, since there was still some time before dinner.
After working for another half hour, Lin Ruoxue obediently went back to the room to rest until it was time for dinner when Wang's mother called her down.
"Miss, I think it's about time. Are you planning to head to Tianshan soon?"
While they were finishing dinner, Wang's mother casually asked.
"Mm, in about three days."
Lin Ruoxue nodded, Su Chen had mentioned that her body would be almost recovered in a couple of days, and now she absolutely trusted Su Chen's medical skills.
"Wang's mother, have you got everything ready?"
Lin Ruoxue asked somewhat uneasily.
"Don't worry, everything has been prepared long ago."
Wang's mother replied with a smile.
"What exactly are you going to do in Tianshan?"
Since the last time they mentioned going to Tianshan, Su Chen still didn't understand what they were going to do.
"Why all the questions? You'll find out when we get there!"
Lin Ruoxue chided, regaining her usual demeanor with no sign of the fear she had shown just before.
"Really, making it all so mysterious."
Su Chen couldn't help but purse his lips and mumble...
