Su Chuanlin didn't take Xiang Niannian to any special place, but instead went to his company.
The company was still brightly lit at this time, with many people working overtime.
Xiang Niannian was puzzled, not understanding why Su Chuanlin had brought her here.
"Su Chuanlin, what are we doing here?"
As soon as she got out of the car, Xiang Niannian quickly put her hands in her pockets to prevent Su Chuanlin from taking the opportunity to hold her hand again.
Su Chuanlin noticed her comical action and couldn't help but find it amusing. Was he really that scary?
"I'd like to show you my secret hideout."
Su Chuanlin smiled.
"A secret base?" Whose secret base is in the company?
"Are you interested?" This time Su Chuanlin asked, as if he were discussing it.
Without hesitation, Xiang Niannian nodded immediately; she also wanted to get to know him better.
After getting her consent, Su Chuanlin subconsciously reached out to take her hand, but suddenly forgot that she had her hands in her pockets, and his outstretched hand felt a little awkward.
"Hmph..." Upon seeing this, Xiang Niannian naturally snorted and then walked arrogantly to the front.
This vibrant Xiang Niannian was the first time Su Chuanlin had ever seen it; it really was an adorable rabbit.
Su Chuanlin followed in a few steps, then forcibly took Xiang Niannian's hand out of her pocket. After trying for a long time, he still couldn't succeed. Helpless, he hurriedly stuffed his large hand into her pocket as well.
This shamelessness really got Xiang Niannian cornered; no matter how much she struggled, Su Chuanlin just wouldn't let go.
Su Chuanlin knew Xiang Niannian wouldn't be angry, so he clenched his fist even tighter inside his pocket.
Seeing this, Xiang Niannian had no choice but to take her hand out.
With so many people still in the company, it's better for them to hold hands openly than to secretly shake hands in each other's pockets.
It wasn't until Su Chuanlin led Xiang Niannian into the private elevator that Su Chuanlin took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant.
"Give the order: the person I just led in is the proprietress."
He put his phone away only after sending the message and receiving a reply from his assistant.
When Xiang Niannian saw that Su Chuanlin pressed the button for the top floor, she murmured, "Su Chuanlin, the secret base you mentioned wouldn't happen to be your office, would it?"
Otherwise, what else could be on the top floor?
"You'll see soon enough." Su Chuanlin's smile deepened as he saw Xiang Niannian obediently letting him hold her hand.
Five minutes later.
The two stepped out of the elevator. Just as Su Chuanlin was pulling Xiang Niannian towards a certain direction next to the elevator, Xiang Niannian's phone rang in her pocket.
At this moment, Su Chuanlin consciously let go of Xiang Niannian's hand.
Xiang Niannian took out her phone and saw that it was her father calling. Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked up at Su Chuanlin.
Su Chuanlin was already standing in front of Xiang Niannian and was taller than her, so he saw who was calling the moment she took out her phone.
He assumed that Xiang Niannian hadn't answered the phone for so long because she minded him being next to her. He raised an eyebrow and gestured to walk to the side. Before he could make a move, Xiang Niannian had already answered the phone.
"dad."
He called out to Niannian in a low voice.
It's been almost a year since I started university, and she's never called before. The sudden call made Xiang Niannian's eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
“Niannian, where are you now? Your mother went to Nancheng to look for you! She should be at the Nancheng train station by now.”
Xiang Yuan's anxious and flustered voice came through the phone. Although Xiang Niannian didn't put it on speakerphone, because it was the top floor and exceptionally quiet, Xiang Yuan's words were particularly loud, and Su Chuanlin heard them clearly.
Xiang Niannian was completely unresponsive, as if she had been hit on the head with a rock.
Then Su Chuanlin heard Xiang Yuan say, "Your mom left this morning. She said she was going to go secretly and didn't want me to go with her. She also told your brother to take my phone. I just managed to get your brother to hand over the phone. Now I'm calling you. Get ready."
"Dad, I understand."
After recovering, Xiang Niannian calmly answered and hung up the phone.
Her eyes were slightly red as she looked at Su Chuanlin, her voice sounding somewhat strained: "Can we visit your secret base another time?"
"Okay." Su Chuanlin heard everything Xiang Yuan said, and now seeing Xiang Niannian's reaction, he more or less guessed that something was wrong: "How about I go with you to pick up Auntie?"
"No!" Xiang Niannian's answer was slightly agitated.
It wasn't excitement born of joy, but rather a frantic excitement.
After answering, she realized she had overreacted and took a deep breath: "No need, I can pick you up myself. The train station is not far from where I live, I can just take a taxi back later."
Xiang Niannian was afraid that Su Chuanlin would disagree, so her tone became pleading: "Su Chuanlin, please don't go, okay? And please don't contact me while my mom is here, okay?"
At this moment, Xiang Niannian felt extremely scared, not of her mother, but of Su Chuanlin being implicated.
She also wanted to preserve her last shred of dignity in front of Su Chuanlin.
Su Chuanlin was taken aback, not understanding why Xiang Niannian would make such a request. Wouldn't it be better to let her mother know of his existence? He was rich and capable enough; he wasn't afraid.
Despite his doubts, he nodded, respecting her wishes.
Only after receiving Su Chuanlin's assurance did Xiang Niannian feel relieved: "Then I'll be going now."
Su Chuanlin grabbed Xiang Niannian's hand: "I'll take you there? She won't see it. I'll just take you there and then leave immediately."
Under Su Chuanlin's eager gaze, Xiang Niannian agreed.
