Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

"I happen to be free this afternoon, so I came over to see Mr. Su, since it's just a short walk away. I won't be disturbing you, will I?"

Jiang Ying took off her hat, scarf, and sunglasses, placed them aside, and revealed her delicate face.

"Not at all, I'm just surprised that Miss Jiang, such a big star, would take the initiative to come see me—I'm quite flattered!"

Su Chen laughed, aware that Jiang Ying lived in a nearby hotel, but he hadn't expected her to drop by out of the blue.

"Mr. Su, you are being too modest," Jiang Ying said with a smile:

"We've met a few times; even if we're not friends, we're at least acquaintances, aren't we?"

"That's true."

Su Chen certainly remembered their first encounter, when he must have left a very poor impression on her.

After all, he had kissed her without her consent, though at the time, his main intention was to test Lv Shimo and not to really take advantage of her.

Their subsequent meeting in Sanya made them much closer, almost friends.

Of course, he had realized early on that Jiang Ying's approach to him wasn't purely innocent, but he didn't think too much of it.

After all, how many people in this world are truly innocent? Not being innocent doesn't necessarily make someone a bad person.

Moreover, from their interactions, he found that this woman had many good qualities.

Like being independent, strong, hardworking, and she also had a sense of responsibility and kindness.

He discovered the last two qualities in Sanya when she offended the Bai Family from Jiangbei.

Even though she already knew they were from the powerful Bai Family of Jiangbei, she stood up without hesitation when they threatened to break Cui Yuanmin's legs.

Finally, when Su Chen completely subdued the Bai Family members, and it was her turn to make a decision, she chose to let them go.

Because of these things, Su Chen continued to treat her as a friend even though he knew she had her own little schemes.

Furthermore, the words Jiang Ying spoke when they watched the sunrise together had moved him deeply.

She said that someone like her hardly deserved to pursue love.

As he watched her forlorn expression at the time, he felt a twinge of heartache.

"By the way, Miss Jiang, what would you like to drink?"

Su Chen gathered his thoughts, stood up, and asked.

"Just water is fine."

Jiang Ying casually looked around Su Chen's office, which didn't have anything special about it.

If anything, it was exceptionally clean, with not a single piece of paper or document in sight.

But to Jiang Ying, that seemed normal, after all, how could an extraordinary person like her truly settle down to work in an office?

"Here."

Su Chen handed over a glass of water to Jiang Ying, who said "thanks" and took it from him.

"Being a celebrity is really not easy, right?" Su Chen remarked with a smile, glancing at Jiang Ying's hat, scarf, and sunglasses.

People only envy the glamour and beauty of celebrities, not realizing that celebrities might envy the ordinary things in people's lives.

At least ordinary people can go wherever they want, do whatever they want, at any time.

But celebrities, especially big stars, often don't get a say in many matters.

"It's okay, you get used to it after a while," Jiang Ying replied with a calm smile:

"We gain so much; we have to make some sacrifices, right? We can't just take all the benefits without giving anything in return."

"You make a good point, but few people understand that," Su Chen nodded and said.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Ying said:

"Mr. Su, the reason I came today is to invite you to Majestic Bar tomorrow night to have some fun."

"Oh, why is that? Is there anything special going on?" Su Chen asked curiously, knowing that Majestic Bar was one of the biggest and most luxurious bars in Yandu.

"Well, it's their ten-year anniversary celebration tomorrow. They've invited me and a few other celebrities to be guests, and I'll probably sing a song," Jiang Ying explained with a smile.

"Sure, I'll definitely be there."

Su Chen smiled and said:

"I've never heard Miss Jiang sing, so I definitely wouldn't miss such an opportunity."

Since the other party had come to invite him personally, Su Chen didn't refuse.

"Then thank you, Mr. Su, for gracing the occasion."

As soon as Su Chen agreed to go, a smile immediately appeared on Jiang Ying's face.

After a while, Jiang Ying left Su Chen's office, of course, not before re-arming herself to the teeth before she left.

After Jiang Ying departed, Su Chen went back to playing Fight the Landlord, since he didn't have anything else to do anyway.

However, after half an hour, he lost interest and decided to go out for a walk.

But as soon as he walked down to the lobby of Rainbow Mansion, he ran into Xu Xinran.

Meeting again like this was a bit awkward for both of them, and for a moment, neither of them said a word.

After a short pause, Su Chen finally broke the silence:

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm leaving, waiting for my cousin; she's taking me to the airport soon."

Xu Xinran hadn't expected to see this man before she left, but ended up running into him anyway.

"Leaving already?" Su Chen asked incredulously.

"Why not stay and have fun for a few more days?"

He truly hadn't expected Xu Xinran, this little girl, to leave so soon.

"My vacation is over, of course I have to go."

Xu Xinran said with a roll of her eyes; she didn't believe this guy wanted her to stay any longer. Maybe he couldn't wait for her to leave.

"Xinran, about that day, that..."

Su Chen felt it would be better to be somewhat clear about what happened that day, or at least ask her what she thought.

This wasn't something he could just run away from; it was something that had to be faced eventually.

"There was nothing that day!"

As soon as Xu Xinran heard Su Chen bring up that day, her pretty face changed, and she quickly retorted.

Truth be told, that day's events were tangled up in her heart too, and she really didn't know what to do about them.

Right now, she only hoped that what happened that day had never happened, or at least, to act as if it never did!

"Xinran, running away isn't the solution. We've got to resolve this."

Su Chen sighed.

"I'll just pretend it was a mosquito bite!"

Xu Xinran said coldly.

Hearing this, Su Chen grimaced. Wasn't she just deluding herself?

And really, am I a mosquito? Have you ever seen a mosquito this big?

"Xinran!"

Just as Su Chen was about to say something more, a voice rang out in the lobby of Rainbow Mansion.

Xu Xinran was startled by the voice, then smiled and walked over. As she passed by Su Chen, she whispered:

"You absolutely mustn't let my cousin know about this, or it's not over between you and me!"

"Alright, let's go."

Qiuru took Xu Xinran by the hand and headed outside.

"Huh, Su Chen, what are you doing here?"

As they reached the door, Qiuru saw Su Chen and asked in surprise.

"I just came down for a stroll."

"Well then, it's perfect; Xinran is leaving. Come with me to see her off."

Qiuru said with a smile.

"Sure, no problem."

Su Chen agreed with a nod.

This time, for some reason, Xu Xinran looked at Su Chen and didn't speak out against it...
