The next morning, the study was silent. Su Jingmo sat lazily in his office chair at his desk, his posture relaxed and at ease, while his right hand tapped the table slowly and rhythmically. This seemingly random tapping made the two men in formal attire sitting directly in front of the desk feel uneasy and uneasy.

His eagle-like eyes were half-closed, dark and elusive. In the quiet study, one could almost hear the subtle thump of his hands on the table and the tense breathing of the other person. He was like a lofty emperor; a single glance was enough to send shivers down one's spine, making one involuntarily want to submit to him.

Time seemed to stand still, and after a long time, the two men could hardly stand his powerful aura.

Finally, Su Jingmo asked slowly, "Hasn't the matter been investigated yet?"

This plain and meaningless sentence made the two men in the study shake their feet involuntarily. A strong feeling of weakness surged in their hearts, and they wanted to escape from this stressful place immediately.

"Mr. Su, the matter is being investigated promptly." One of them answered, trying his best to appear calm. Although he tried to keep his voice steady, there was inevitably a slight tremor in his tone.

"Hurry up and investigate? Half a year has passed, and my patience should be running out by now," Su Jingmo said in an icy voice. He looked completely different from the gentle demeanor he had shown before Qu Qingdai, the very embodiment of Satan. His sharp words, like razor blades, mercilessly struck the two men in black in the study, chilling them to the bone and causing them to shiver uncontrollably.

"Because the Madam had been living in an orphanage, there was no contact between them until the Jiang family found her. We've exhaustively investigated every connection, even Qu Qingzhu and Young Master Qu, but we still can't understand why the Madam would target the Jiang family and its members so harshly," the other man said nervously, his voice trembling. As he spoke, he carefully observed Su Jingmo's expression, fearing his words would anger this terrifying man.

Su Jingmo stared at the man who had spoken, his gaze as sharp as a sword, as if he wanted to pierce the man before him and carve a hole in him. As he did so, his right hand continued to mechanically tap the table, the rhythmic clapping sounding particularly loud in the quiet study.

Time seemed to stretch infinitely. After a long, long time, Su Jingmo finally broke the silence. He said slowly in a cold voice: "Hurry up, I want to see the results soon!"

On the eve of their wedding, Su Jingmo stumbled upon Qu Qingdai's unusual interest in the Jiang family of Hai City, frequently checking in on them. However, Su Jingmo discovered that his child had no connection to the Jiang family. Initially, he dismissed it as a naive act on Qu Qingdai's part, but for her safety, he secretly investigated. Ultimately, however, he found nothing.

It wasn't until a month later, when the story of the Jiang family's real and fake daughter was exposed, that Su Jingmo was shocked to discover that his precious daughter was actually the Jiang family's real daughter. This surprised him greatly, but when he saw Qu Qingdai's calm demeanor, he felt even more strange, as if she had known about his life story for a long time...

Although he didn't particularly care about Qu Qingdai's identity, in his heart, she was the only person he valued. Whether she was the daughter of a wealthy family or an ordinary peasant girl, he loved her as deeply as ever. However, he cared about her safety. He didn't understand why she felt so strongly about the Jiang family, and he didn't see the need to understand. His only wish was to ensure that she would always be happy by his side.

Hai City was indeed inferior to Jing City, and the small Jiang family was no match for the Su family behind him. He was confident that his abilities were more than enough to protect her. However, a subtle worry remained in his heart. He feared that even with his formidable strength, unexpected situations might arise. He feared that if, through some negligence, Qu Qingdai were harmed, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Qu Qingdai always thought that she had concealed everything well in front of Su Jingmo. She thought that Su Jingmo knew nothing about her little thoughts. In fact, Su Jingmo had already known everything. It's just that because she wanted to hide it, he chose to cooperate with her. In his opinion, as long as she is happy, she will tell him naturally when she wants to tell him one day. In fact, it is not only Qu Qingdai who has a secret that she has not told Su Jingmo. Su Jingmo himself also has some things that he has not confessed to Qu Qingdai. The reason why he did this was that he didn't want Qu Qingdai to think too much. He hoped that she could stay in his arms and enjoy his pampering.

At this moment, the two men in the study looked at their CEO's suddenly softened gaze with surprise. They wondered, "What was Mr. Su thinking about? Why did his eyes become so enchanting, as if they could drip water?" Those eyes were filled with tenderness and love, moving them. They had never seen Su Jingmo look like this before, and it left them both surprised and curious.

Qu Qingdai was in a sweet dream, dreaming of some beautiful scene. The corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, outlining a very beautiful arc. She also muttered something softly, but still showed no sign of waking up.
