Chapter 39

"Xu Xin, you can't go back to the company!"

At noon, Su Liuli, who usually liked to sleep in, got up and immediately learned that Su Yuxin was planning to return to the company. She rushed into the study to persuade her.

Su Yuxin was browsing through the bidding documents. Seeing Su Liuli burst in, she put down the documents with a bitter smile.

"Your health has just improved. What if you get tired from going back to work? What if your condition relapses?" Seeing that Su Yuxin remained silent, Su Liuli continued, speaking rapidly like a machine gun.

Feeling Su Liuli's concern, Su Yuxin felt a warm sensation in her heart and said half-jokingly, "It's fine. Doctor Ye said he will be with me to treat me, ensuring that my condition won't relapse."

"What... What?"

Su Liuli's eyes widened in shock. Then, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she jumped up, "Xu Xin, that means you shouldn't go back to work at all!"

"Why?"

"Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions."

Su Liuli said seriously, "That pervert has always had bad intentions toward you. If he stays by your side to treat you, it means he will be with you every day. He will eventually make a move on you."

"Nonsense, how could Doctor Ye be that kind of person!"

Su Yuxin glared at Su Liuli, but she couldn't help thinking about the pleasure she had tasted last night and the fact that she hadn't worn a bra this morning, causing her face to turn red.

"Xu... Xu Xin, have you already fallen into that guy's trap?" Seeing Su Yuxin's flushed face and shy demeanor, Su Liuli asked nervously.

"Liuli, you can say whatever you want about me, but don't slander Doctor Ye. He is a good person." Afraid that Su Liuli would see through her, Su Yuxin quickly adjusted her expression and said seriously.

"Are you or aren't you?" Su Liuli pressed, determined to get an answer, as if she would challenge Ye Fan to a duel if Su Yuxin admitted it.

"What are you thinking all day?" Su Yuxin stood up and tapped Su Liuli's head, "If you have nothing else, don't disturb me. I'm busy looking at the bidding documents."

"Hmm..."

Hearing this, Su Liuli felt that Su Yuxin was focused on her work and hadn't fallen into Ye Fan's trap, but she still warned, "Xu Xin, I still think you should carefully consider my suggestion."

This time, Su Yuxin simply ignored her and picked up the bidding documents again.

"Alright, I know that even if I put a knife to your throat, you would still go back to the company."

Su Liuli knew Su Yuxin's personality; once she made a decision, she wouldn't change it. She was the type who wouldn't turn back even if she hit a wall. So, she gave up on persuading her but warned, "However, if you insist on going back to the company and having that guy around, be cautious. Don't let his surface appearance deceive you."

"Understood."

Su Yuxin couldn't help but laugh. She knew that if she didn't agree, Su Liuli would nag her all day like Tang僧.

"Then I can go to Nanzang with peace of mind."

Seeing Su Yuxin agree, Su Liuli felt relieved and decided to implement her 'Nanzang self-driving tour' plan from a few days ago. On the way to Ling Mountain for medical treatment, she had found the Sichuan-Tibet route to be very beautiful, but she had been too worried about Su Yuxin's condition to enjoy it. Now that Su Yuxin's condition was stable, she wanted to make up for it.

"The Sichuan-Tibet route is dangerous, so be extra careful."

Su Yuxin reminded her, but she knew that Su Hongyuan would send bodyguards to protect Su Liuli, so she wasn't overly worried.

After being interrupted by Su Liuli, Su Yuxin couldn't focus on the documents anymore. She suddenly realized that Ye Fan needed formal clothes to go to the company.

Thinking about this, Su Yuxin put down the bidding documents and went to Ye Fan's bedroom.

"Miss Su, is there something you need?" Ye Fan turned his head, noticing Su Yuxin standing at the door.

"Doctor Ye, I plan to take you shopping for some formal clothes suitable for work."

Originally, Su Yuxin was a bit hesitant to face Ye Fan because of what happened last night and this morning, but seeing him playing a game, she found it amusing and wasn't nervous anymore.

Ye Fan was surprised, "Buy clothes?"

"Yes."

Su Yuxin nodded, not trying to hide anything, "I thought about it and decided to bring you into the company as the CEO's assistant. Generally, you need to dress formally for work."

"Alright."

Ye Fan nodded. He had learned the Eight External Gates from Chu Xuanji, and the members of the 'Soul-Stealing Gate' often had to disguise themselves to complete tasks. He understood the importance of different outfits for different occasions.

Seeing that Ye Fan didn't find this embarrassing or shameful, Su Yuxin wasn't surprised.

Because... through last night's events, she realized that the power behind Ye Fan was terrifying. More importantly, with the pride he exuded, he wouldn't care about such trivial matters.

Not sure if it was because she hadn't dressed up formally in a long time or for other reasons, Su Yuxin spent thirty minutes getting ready to go shopping with Ye Fan.

Thirty minutes later, Su Yuxin finished getting ready and came to the living room.

Hmm?

Even though Ye Fan had already seen Su Yuxin's beauty, he was still stunned by her appearance after she had dressed up.

Today, Su Yuxin had let her hair down, casually draping it over her shoulders. She wore light makeup, making her bright eyes look even larger, and her lips were a light pink, making her especially alluring.

She still wore her favorite black dress, but her crystal sandals had been replaced with high heels, making her legs look longer and her figure more slender.

More notably, with her increased height, her cold and elegant CEO aura was more prominent. If not for the fashionable Hermès handbag she carried, she would give off an aura that people would only dare to admire from a distance.

For some reason, Su Yuxin didn't let the family bodyguards drive her. Instead, she wanted to drive Ye Fan to the store herself, but Ye Fan refused, citing her health as a reason.

However, Ye Fan didn't let the family bodyguards drive either. He took the wheel himself.

Due to traffic, it took them forty minutes to reach the busiest commercial district in Hanghu.

Busy work had prevented Su Yuxin from shopping like a regular woman. Her clothes were either custom-made by a master tailor or bought from high-end stores in Hanghu.

However, today, for some reason, Su Yuxin didn't take Ye Fan straight to a high-end store. Instead, they strolled down the street like a couple, occasionally entering some stores.

"Hey, isn't that Su Yuxin?"

When Ye Fan and Su Yuxin came out of a men's clothing store, a well-dressed young man in a teahouse across the street saw Su Yuxin and was quite surprised, "Didn't they say Su Yuxin is an ice rose who never interacts with men? Why is she shopping with a man now?"

"Su Yuxin shopping with a man? You must be mistaken."

Four other young men were drinking tea and chatting. They, like the first young man, were well-dressed and belonged to the elite of Hanghu. They had all heard of Su Yuxin and didn't believe the first young man. They leaned out the window to look in the direction he pointed.

"It really is Su Yuxin."

"The sun is rising in the west."

"Is Su Yuxin just pretending?"

"Definitely. She's a pure woman on the surface but a wild woman in bed."

Seeing Su Yuxin and Ye Fan walking side by side on the commercial street, looking very intimate, the four young men expressed their opinions one after another.

"Who is that man?"

Almost simultaneously, the five young men were all very curious.

"Could he be the doctor treating Su Yuxin?"

One of the young men thought of something and said, "I heard that when Su Feiyu learned that a doctor surnamed Ye could treat Su Yuxin's condition, he instructed Gou Wei to run over and kill the doctor. When Old Master Su found out, he was furious. He not only broke ties with the Gou family and had the police take Gou Wei away, but he even sent Su Feiyu to jail!"

"I also heard my father talk about this."

Another young man added, "My father was puzzled about why Su Hongyuan did this, since Su Feiyu was his chosen successor."

"It's probably a show to appease Su Yuxin and the Gou family. Just wait, they will be out soon." The first young man said.

"They will be out, but it's still self-inflicted. Old Master Su must be furious."

The only young man wearing glasses smiled and said, "At the same time, I think Su's competitors won't miss this opportunity, especially the He family!"

"It's tough for Su Yuxin. If she were a man and chosen as the successor, she might have a chance to compete with He Shao."

Another young man, who was close to the He family's future successor, He Fenghua, couldn't help but laugh, "If He Shao makes a move now, he might win both the kingdom and the beauty."

The other four young men had no objections.

Because... they all knew that as the successor of the Su family, Su Feiyu didn't even have the qualifications to tie the shoes of the leading figure among the young men of Hanghu, He Fenghua!
