His ex-fiancée
The alarm clock vibrated at the head of the bed. Shen Yanshu opened his eyes drowsily, glanced at his phone, sat up from the bed, and yawned with his eyes closed.
Su Bai: Good morning
Shen Yanshu smiled sweetly when he saw the message. Su Bai's learning speed was too terrifying. He asked him to study online last night and started practicing early this morning.
Shen Yanshu: Get up.
Su Bai received a message from Shen Yanshu in the office. He was taking care of the flowers Shen Yanshu sent him, so he took a photo and sent it over: "Taking care of my flowers."
It was a while later that Shen Yanshu sent a message.
Shen Yanshu: picture.jpg, eating breakfast.
Su Bai: Very rich.
Shen Yanshu: (#^.^#) I like to eat more in the morning. What do you eat in the morning?
Su Bai: Toast, eggs, oranges, and milk.
Shen Yanshu: I don’t like milk, but I like everything else.
Su Bai: Don’t like milk?
Shen Yanshu: My mom is lactose intolerant, so I might have inherited a little bit of it. But I like my milk tea iced, not hot.
Su Bai: I understand.
Shen Yanshu: Haven’t you started working yet?
Su Bai put down the document in his hand and typed a reply: I'm looking at the cooperation contract with Anna.
Shen Yanshu: If you stayed in Nova, Anna wouldn't have to come to Ningcheng.
Shen Yanshu took a bite of her meal. In fact, she was very curious about why Su Bai had stayed in Ningcheng for so long.
Shen Yanshu: Why do you stay in Ningcheng all the time? The headquarters is where you should be. Can't the branch just send someone over?
Su Bai: During the two months when you ignored me, I spent two-thirds of my time in Nova. And now the situation is special.
Shen Yanshu: What's the special situation? Is there something wrong?
Su Bai: If I stayed in Nova, I wouldn’t be able to see you.
Shen Yanshu looked at Su Bai's straightforward words and found it difficult to connect the person who sent the message now with the person who sent the message last night.
Shen Yanshu: Work is the most important.
If you don’t work, you have no money. Without money, you can’t survive. Without the means of survival, talking about enjoyment and love is just a fantasy.
Su Bai: I think I can do both.
Shen Yanshu: Narcissism.
Su Bai just smiled and said nothing. He just accepted whatever Shen Yanshu said.
"What are you laughing at, Su." When Su Bai sent the message, Anna had already walked to his desk. "I just knocked on the door, you didn't hear it."
"Sorry." Su Bai stood up and shook hands with her and hugged her. "Thank you for coming here."
"The last time we talked, you said Ningcheng was beautiful. I walked around yesterday and it's true. Ningcheng is more beautiful than I imagined. No wonder you want to develop here." Anna pulled out a chair and sat down, noticing the flowers on the table. "The flowers on your table are blooming beautifully. I remember you didn't like flowers before."
“I like it now.”
"You're not someone who changes easily."
"Anna, I think people sometimes change and desire things they would not have desired before." Su Bai stared at the flowers and said gently.
"You've changed, Su. You never smiled like this before." Anna said, "I think you must be in love."
Su Bai said: "Not yet, but she is teaching me patiently."
Anna covered her mouth in surprise and congratulated: "Congratulations, it seems you met a very nice girl, is she from Ningcheng?"
"Yes." Su Bai nodded.
"She and Grandma will have a lot to talk about. You'll be happy."
“No one could dislike her.”
"I can't believe you would say such a thing." Anna thought that someone with Su Bai's personality would end up living alone.
"I can't believe it either. She gave me the courage." Su Bai said, "We should talk about our cooperation."
Su Bai said as he pushed the contract to Anna: "Do you need to confirm it again?"
Anna opened the documents and confirmed one by one that they were discussing joint marketing. As an old advertising company, they were extremely capable and well-known. Today's business cannot do without marketing. Su Bai wanted to quickly promote the new quarter's products and seize the market. Cooperation with Anna was undoubtedly the best choice and a win-win choice.
Anna closed the file and said, "Su, I've noticed that you're still very rigorous at work and won't give in."
Su Bai: "I am very serious about our cooperation. We should cooperate again in the future."
…
After discussing cooperation, it was time for dinner. As the host, Su Bai should treat everyone.
Su Bai said, "Would you like to have lunch together? I hope your fiancé doesn't mind."
Anna said, "I was thinking you should treat me once."
The two went downstairs. At the first-floor entrance, Su Bai saw Shen Yanshu riding a motorcycle around them from a distance and stopped in front of them.
"Good afternoon." Shen Yanshu took off his helmet and got out of the car.
Su Bai was not surprised by Shen Yanshu's appearance. He introduced: "Xiaoshu, this is Anna. Anna, this is Shen Yanshu."
Anna asked: "Ist das der, der dir Blumen geschenkt hat" (Who gave you flowers?)
Su Bai nodded: "Jep."
"Nice to meet you." Anna extended her hand to Shen Yanshu. "There's a bouquet of very precious flowers on the table. I didn't expect to see the person who sent them today."
Shen Yanshu shook hands with Anna: "Hello."
"You are as beautiful as I imagined, but more passionate than I thought. I thought Su would like gentle and quiet girls."
"Did he like gentle girls before?"
"No, his previous behavior made me think he didn't like humans." Anna said with a smile, "He's a very unromantic and slow-witted man. Why do you like him?"
Su Bai stood aside and listened attentively.
Shen Yanshu thought for a moment and replied, "She's pretty."
Anna understood and nodded. "Su's face does attract a lot of girls, but he only accepted your flowers. After meeting you today, I think you are really very charming. If I weren't engaged, I would definitely want to date you."
Su Bai was troubled by Anna's usual boldness: "Anna, I think you should be responsible for your fiancé."
Anna retorted: "Su, you are jealous."
Seeing Su Bai finally get humiliated, Shen Yanshu suppressed her laughter and said to Anna, "Would you like me to treat you to a meal today?"
"My pleasure." Anna said, "I think your motorcycle is cool, can you give me a ride?"
"Of course." Shen Yanshu handed Anna a helmet, took her in, started the car, and said to Su Bai, "Drive here yourself."
Watching the two people leave, Su Bai couldn't help but admire their social skills.
In the restaurant, Shen Yanshu and Anna had a great conversation. Shen Yanshu had traveled to Germany when he was studying abroad, but not to Nova. Anna liked traveling and talked to Shen Yanshu about many interesting travel stories, but their topic finally fell on Su Bai.
"You're really brave to fall in love with Su," Anna said. "Although Su has a popular face and a good family background, he's a complete love killer."
"I think that's cute."
"I remember there's a saying, 'It's always good to fight, it's always good to be beaten,' is that right?"
"More or less. But he is certainly a difficult student."
"You're very patient," Anna said. "But I'm also surprised by Su's willingness to change."
"Why do you say that?"
"Su's father is as terrifying as a demon. I'd even describe him as cold-blooded. He treats Su as nothing more than a trading item, the heir to the family. He's not like a father at all. Although Su has practically severed ties with his father and has completely taken over S Group, you still have to be prepared to face his father."
"It seems difficult to deal with."
"If he were a good man, his wife wouldn't hold a knife to his neck."
"?"
"I heard it from their servants. I'm not sure if it's true, but his parents have been separated for a long time, so there are many versions of the story." Anna took a sip of water and continued, "They have a castle and a manor. Su will definitely take you there. You can chat with their servants more and learn a lot of interesting things."
Shen Yanshu listened and became more and more curious.
"What are you thinking about?" Su Bai's words interrupted her thoughts.
He naturally sat down next to Shen Yanshu, "Have you ordered?"
Shen Yanshu said: "It's ordered, and it will be served soon."
"Anna told me a lot of things about you. Now I'm wondering what your castle looks like?" Shen Yanshu also wanted to know what stories the servants would tell and what crops were grown in the manor.
"Anytime, if you want."
"Doesn't that mean we have to meet the parents?"
"I guess so. Only my grandparents live there now."
"Then I'll have to think about it carefully." She said playfully, "Wait until you catch me."
"good."
Shen Yanshu brought Anna to a restaurant that serves Ningcheng specialties, not far from Su Bai's company. She likes food and might come here often in the future, so she searched for it in advance.
The dishes have been served. Shen Yanshu ordered four dishes and a soup. The Ningcheng dishes were quite large in portion, enough for four people.
Shen Yanshu watched Anna take a bite of the stir-fried tripe with bamboo shoots. His eyes widened and he said, "It's delicious. I didn't know tripe could be so delicious when stir-fried."
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Shen Yanshu thought that his culinary experience was indeed good.
Shen Yanshu put the cup in front of Su Bai: "I want to drink tea."
Su Bai took it naturally, filled it up and placed it next to Shen Yanshu, "Be careful with the heat."
Anna looked at the two intimate people and asked, "Are you really not in a relationship?"
Shen Yanshu glanced at Su Bai and replied, "Of course not, he's a coward."
Su Bai said: "She said she wouldn't agree to me easily."
"You must have done something to make her feel insecure." In less than an hour, Anna had already sided with Shen Yanshu. "Su, I told you a long time ago that you have a lot of problems."
"Did you hear that, Mr. Question?" Shen Yanshu echoed.
"I don't think this is a criticism meeting held specifically for me." Su Bai said, "Besides, shouldn't you be helping me?"
"There's no such thing as a given." Shen Yanshu said, "Of course, I will always stand by you."
"I hope so." Su Bai thought that he must never let these two people get together in the future.
"Anna, how many days will you stay in Ningcheng?" Shen Yanshu felt that he had a good relationship with her, and as one of the few people who knew Su Bai's past, how could he not get in touch with her.
"Four days."
"Can we go out and play together when you are free? The sea in Ningcheng is beautiful. We can go for a walk on the beach." Shen Yanshu invited.
Anna was very happy to have someone to accompany her. "Of course, I was worried that no one would go out with me."
"How about tomorrow?" Shen Yanshu suggested. Tomorrow is Saturday, nothing to do.
"Okay, how about we add each other on WeChat?"
Shen Yanshu took out his phone and added her WeChat. "I didn't expect you to have WeChat."
“We have a lot of Chinese customers,” Anna explained. “We can talk about going out after dinner.”
"Yeah." Shen Yanshu nodded and looked at Su Bai, "I won't come to see you tomorrow."
Su Bai picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into Shen Yanshu's bowl: "It's okay."
