I was deeply moved.

He even noticed such a minute detail.

I laughed it off and said with feigned admiration, "You're so amazing, how do you know everything?"

He smiled faintly, "Don't forget, I grew up in the military."

"Oh..." I nodded, understanding.

Having spent many years in the military, inevitably suffering injuries and bleeding, one must possess some basic medical and nursing knowledge.

"Alright, let's eat first. There are some light business meals in this coffee shop, let's just grab something quick. I'll take you out for a nice meal when I'm done with this busy period." He picked up the menu and handed it to me, ending the conversation.

Upon hearing this, I realized that he was still very busy after returning from his business trip.

But he still made time to come see me, just to check how serious my wound was.

I stared down at the menu, but my mind was racing with other thoughts.

If he continues to be so attentive and caring towards me, I will find it very difficult to stay true to myself and to treat him as just an ordinary friend.

Why……

What exactly is Su Shenglin up to?

There's no need to go to such lengths to repay a debt of gratitude.

We ordered two light business meals, and halfway through the meal, Secretary Ji appeared.

"Chairman Su, the medicine you ordered."

"Yes, that's hard work."

Su Shenglin took the plastic bag containing the medicine and handed it to me: "Take this back and apply it every day according to the instructions. Girls care about their appearance, so don't leave scars."

I had just finished eating when I took the medicine and looked at it. In addition to disinfectant, anti-inflammatory painkillers, and a scar removal cream, there was also one.

His thoughtfulness and meticulousness are truly unmatched.

I was extremely grateful. "Thank you, Mr. Su."

He suddenly asked, "Do you want me to apply it for you now?"

I was surprised and shook my head repeatedly: "No need, no need, Mr. Su, you just got back from your business trip, you must have a lot of work to do. Go and get busy after you finish eating, I don't need to trouble you with this little thing."

"You're still being so polite with me." He put down his cutlery, took a tissue to wipe his mouth elegantly, and looked at me, saying, "When can you stop calling me Mr. Su?"

"..." I pursed my lips, stunned.

I remember the first time I went to Su Garden, when I took his measurements, he said he would just call me Sheng Lin.

But I'm not qualified, and we're not that close.

Now, he's bringing it up again.

I paused for two seconds, then smiled. "So... what should I call you? Calling you by your full name isn't very appropriate, just calling you Sheng Lin... it feels..."

"What's wrong with you? Aren't names just for people to call you by?"

I was conflicted, my mouth was half open, and I was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Or should I call you Chairman Su like Secretary Ji does?" After all, in the workplace, people usually address each other by their job titles.

But Su Shenglin retorted, "You're neither my subordinate nor my business partner."

Before I could say anything, he said directly, "Let's call him Sheng Lin."

I:"……"

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and my cheeks started burning again, which was quite embarrassing.

Fortunately, Secretary Ji reappeared.

He bent down and whispered, "Chairman Su, headquarters knows you're back from your business trip and wants you to come over now."

"good."

Su Shenglin nodded in agreement, then looked at me. I immediately stood up and said, "Since you're so busy, I won't keep you any longer. I'll treat you to dinner when you're done—thank you for your concern."

I waved the medicine in my hand, as if to thank him for buying it for me.

Su Shenglin smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll be fine once I finish this week."

"Okay, let's meet next week."

I smiled, turned around and followed him downstairs.

As he got into the car to leave, he suddenly turned back and reminded him, "Don't make those clothes for the next few days. Wait until your arm injury heals before you start. There's no rush."

A warm feeling welled up inside me, and I nodded, "Okay."

In his presence, I unconsciously became very obedient and stopped trying to be strong.

As I watched the Audi A8 slowly drive away, I held the medicine in my hand, his every word and smile still echoing in my mind.

Su Shenglin, Su Shenglin, are you simply repaying a debt of gratitude, or are you using the guise of repaying a debt of gratitude to play games with me?

I don't understand it, and I don't dare to verify it.

Firstly, the disparity in social status is too great, making it impractical.

Secondly, I am not divorced yet, so I absolutely cannot start a new relationship at this time, not even an ambiguous one.

————

Jiang Yi's memorial service was held over the weekend.

I ordered ten ultra-luxurious wreaths and funeral couplets in advance and arranged with the shop for delivery to the funeral home at a certain time.

The memorial service started at 8:30, and I arrived at 8:20. The shopkeeper had already delivered the wreaths to the door.

As I entered the mourning hall, I saw Jiang Yi's portrait hanging in the distance, and the mournful music echoed in my ears, making me feel downcast.

Jiang Haiyang, Tang Xiu'e, Jiang Hao, and Gu Yanqing stood in the family section, greeting the guests who came to pay their respects.

I looked around and found the staff, asking them to bring in the wreaths and elegiac couplets from outside.

When the staff saw that there were quite a few, they called two people to help.

When Jiang's relatives saw me, they were somewhat surprised: "Jiang Wan, you're here too?"

"Well, we're family after all. I'll see you off."

“Yes, you are so magnanimous. Your father is a terrible person, so you must never learn from him.” These words were spoken by my scumbag father’s sister, who is also my aunt.

My aunt has always had strong moral principles, so I spoke to her politely and respectfully, pretending to be aggrieved: "Thank you for understanding my difficulties, Aunt. After all, he gave birth to me and raised me. Even if he doesn't know how to behave, I can only accept it."

Before the words were finished, a sharp shout suddenly came from the mourning hall, where funeral music was playing: "Who moved these in? Take them away! Take them all away!"
