boom!

My mind went blank, my cheeks instantly burned, and the sentence I was about to finish got stuck in my throat.

He actually saw it!

I sent it and immediately deleted it, but he still saw it!

I was stunned, staring at my phone, speechless at the sentence, my mind completely blank.

Suddenly, the phone rang, the screen switched, and the name Su Shenglin jumped out of the screen—he was calling!

I panicked so much my hands were shaking, and I died as fast as I could, like I'd been electrocuted!

Yes, I chickened out again and didn't even dare to answer his calls.

I deeply regret saying that; I blame myself for being too impulsive.

My cheeks were burning hot. I put down my phone, covered my face, and leaned back on the sofa, feeling the pounding of my heart in my chest.

My WeChat notification popped up again, and I sat up to look at my phone.

If you don't answer the phone, I'll come looking for you.

What?

I was completely blown away!

He wouldn't actually come looking for me, would he?

I covered my face with my hands even tighter and wailed incessantly.

Soon, the phone rang again; it was Su Shenglin calling once more.

I was extremely conflicted, feeling flustered, nervous, restless, expectant, shy, and even a little inexplicably excited and proud.

How could one not be proud to be liked by such an outstanding, distinguished, and illustrious man?

With extremely mixed feelings, I finally answered the call.

"Hey..." I uttered the single word with trembling hands.

“Jiang Wan,” Su Shenglin began, his clear and gentle tone suppressing a distinct chuckle, “Do you know why you retracted it as soon as you sent it, but I still saw it?”

"Why, why?" My tongue was tied, as if I couldn't speak.

"Because I just picked up my phone, intending to send you a WeChat message."

"..." Oh my god, I'm going to die.

"Tell me, wouldn't you call this telepathy?" His smile deepened, completely disregarding whether I lived or died.

"..." I remained silent, not uttering a sound.

"Are you a little turtle, always retreating into your shell?" Su Shenglin began to mock me when he saw that I remained silent.

I couldn't help but retort, "Stop giving me nicknames, 'idiot' and 'turtle,' what are you going to call me next time?"

"Hmm, let me think... ostrich would be good too."

"Can't!"

Our conversation got more and more childish, so cheesy that even I couldn't stand it, so I quickly interrupted, "By the way, you just said you were looking for me, is there something you need?"

I thought that would change the subject, but he brought it back: "It's nothing, I just thought of you after finishing work and wanted to tease you, but you sent it to me first."

"..." Just teasing me? I was speechless again. Do they think I'm a pet?

I couldn't continue, so I had to keep avoiding the conversation: "Well, since there's nothing else, let's hang up. I've been too busy today. I just got home and I'm going to rest for a bit before going to sleep."

"Okay, then you should get some rest. Let's have dinner together tomorrow night?"

His invitation was so natural that I couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Considering what happened today, I wasn't sure if there would be any new developments tomorrow, so I could only say, "Let's see tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, then it'll be fine."

"Fine, I'll wait and see what excuse you come up with tomorrow, you coward."

"..." I blushed, and I got another nickname.

After hanging up the phone, I sat on the sofa for a while to calm down before my mind gradually cleared.

He saw that I retracted my statement. Will he interpret it as me agreeing?

no.

It won't work until at least the end of the month; we'll have to wait until the appeal period has passed.

So if he insists on asking me out for dinner tomorrow night, I still need to make things clear with him.

I cleared my mind, made up my mind, got up to wash up and go to bed.

————

Yang Qianmu is injured, so I asked him to rest at home for the next few days. Therefore, I will temporarily take care of the company's affairs.

By the end of the day, I was so busy that I had no time to think about anything else.

At 5 p.m., I finally had a little free time and picked up my phone to see that Li Yunwei had sent me a message.

I opened WeChat and was overjoyed!

Li Yunwei forwarded a very popular short video about Chen Muxi.

Chen Muxi and a group of musicians did a flash mob on the streets of Europe. First, she played the violin elegantly, then she turned around, her skirt fluttering, and after sitting down, she played the guzheng with grace.

I watched the video in surprise and realized that she was also skilled in classical instruments, and that she played them so smoothly and beautifully.

What truly enhanced her musical talent was the elegant and dignified horse-face skirt she wore.

Yes, it's the new Chinese-style horse-face skirt that I designed and sewed for her.

This horse-face skirt has been redesigned and combined with hand embroidery, perfectly blending modern clothing elements with traditional Eastern aesthetics.

The bright red skirt is elegant and dignified, with a beautiful drape when standing and a perfect spread-out shape when sitting. It pairs perfectly with both violins and traditional Chinese zithers.

Chen Muxi's appearance not only captivated foreign audiences with her superb musical skills, but also brought traditional Chinese aesthetics to the world.

This video has received over a million likes and shares, and its popularity continues to rise, with the comment section filled with praise.

Some praised the horse-face skirt, while others praised the performer.

I watched this video four or five times, feeling excited and thrilled. Without hesitation, I forwarded it to Su Shenglin.

Unable to hide my excitement and pride, I also gave them a compliment.

[XiXi is amazing! Look at the amazed looks on those foreigners' faces, she's going to be a global sensation!]

Su Shenglin replied to me quickly—

Xixi told me that I wanted to talk to you about this during dinner tonight, but I didn't expect you to have already seen it.
