He stared at me, somewhat speechless. "After all I've said, you still don't understand what I mean?"
A sudden thought struck me, and I realized it.
He meant that he didn't want me to have such a clear division of responsibilities with him in the future.
He wanted to be a part of my life and help me with my problems.
But--
Seeing my hesitation, Su Shenglin lowered his eyes slightly: "It seems... I still can't satisfy you."
"No, that's not it," I quickly denied, feeling guilty as a result.
Given how good Su Shenglin has been to me, I should indeed be honest with him and not hide anything from him.
But I have way too much messy, broken stuff here.
"I will definitely tell you everything that happens to me in the future, but there are some things that are really not suitable for you to handle. If I really can't handle them, I will ask you for help. Is that okay?"
In the end, I gave in and tried to negotiate with him in a gentle and polite manner.
Su Shenglin chuckled softly, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Alright, it seems my commotion did have some effect."
My face turned awkward, and I muttered, "It sounds weird coming from your Second Master Su's mouth."
"What's strange?"
"With your power and influence, how can I possibly respond to such words?"
"No matter how powerful or influential I am, I still can't win over the woman I like."
"..." I was completely speechless.
He always manages to say sweet nothings so smoothly and without any hesitation, which makes me feel both touched and happy, yet also a little apprehensive.
Too much love can also be a burden.
I took a sip of water to calm my racing heart.
He looked at me. "So, what unexpected situation happened today that changed the original plan?"
I put down my water glass, considered my words carefully, and told the truth: "My father has been released from prison. He is seriously ill and has been released on medical parole."
Su Shenglin frowned slightly and asked directly, "To the point of death?"
I shook my head slightly. "He won't die anytime soon. He already has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar, and now his diabetes is also very serious. He has many complications, and it's difficult for him to even walk."
"You want to treat him?"
I nodded and briefly recounted what had happened that day to him.
I thought he would praise me for handling it well; at least I felt quite relieved.
To his surprise, his face darkened after hearing this, and his eyes instantly became much more sinister. "You're incredibly bold. You're a woman, facing all three of them alone—aren't you afraid that the whole family will gang up on you?"
I quickly explained, "I had thought about it, so I didn't let them get in my car. When we went to the cemetery, I paid the driver to be my temporary bodyguard. He was a really nice guy."
He got even angrier after hearing that, "Do you still think you're so clever?"
"..." I didn't say anything, but that's really what I was thinking.
Actually, I had already figured it out: Tang Xiu'e and the others wouldn't really lay a hand on me, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get money from me.
As for hiring a personal protector temporarily, it's just a precaution.
He continued to berate you: "Such a big thing, when I called you, you hung up without saying a word. Even if you didn't want me to get involved, at least I could have gone down the mountain and waited for you, and I could have gotten there immediately if anything happened."
My heart tightened slightly, and I looked at him expectantly, "Why are you angry again? I'm fine..."
He pursed his thin lips and remained silent.
To be honest, I was a little nervous meeting him today.
He is usually too gentle and has extremely stable emotions, but today he has frowned several times and his face is somewhat serious.
I know he's still unhappy with my attitude, feeling that I'm too rational and distant towards him.
Since I'm the one in the wrong...
After a few seconds of awkward silence, I deliberately teased him: "Second Master Su? Second Master? Master?"
As I uttered the last word, he gave me a cold, sidelong glance and said, "Your attempts to joke around won't work."
"Then how can it be effective?" I asked sincerely.
But then he closed his mouth again, his sexy and beautiful thin lips resembling a clam shell.
I shook his hand on the table, and he simply turned his face away and removed his hand from the table.
I smiled helplessly, "You really think you're a child?"
You still need to coax and coax them three or four times.
Seeing his awkward expression, I suddenly took out my phone, turned on the camera, and pointed it at him.
"what you do?"
“Record Master Su’s angry face, it’s a rare opportunity, keep it as a memento.” I replied with a smile, and actually started recording.
Ah, I have plenty of ways to deal with people.
Sure enough, Su Shenglin immediately panicked and reached out to snatch my phone.
I quickly dodged and continued to provoke him: "What are you doing? It's not befitting your status to steal from someone, Second Master Su."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, his overly tall frame tilting towards me, and snatched my phone away.
"Hey, hey, don't delete it!" Seeing that he was about to delete the video, I quickly got up and walked around the dining table. "Can't I keep it for myself?"
He dodged left and right, and I followed him, grabbing and snatching from the left and right, completely unaware that I was now completely nestled in his arms.
When I finally managed to grab the phone, I realized he hadn't had time to delete it yet, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But the next second, he hugged me tightly.
That's when I realized that his real intention wasn't the phone—he was clearly trying to lure me into his arms.
"What are you doing..." After falling into his arms, my cheeks immediately burned, and I pushed him away with my hand.
But he ignored me, grabbed my chin with one hand to force me to look up, lowered his handsome face to a different angle, and kissed my lips tightly.
I shuddered slightly and dropped my phone, but luckily it landed between me and him.
He used one hand to pick up my phone and put it on the table. When he pulled his other hand back, he held the back of my neck, clearly not wanting me to back down.
