Chapter 47 - A Passionate Kiss

A polite smile appeared on his face as Su Xuan walked towards the bosses coming his way, his pace neither hurried nor slow, displaying a composed and steady demeanor that not everyone could possess.

“Who are you?”

Seeing a young and handsome guy standing in front of them, seemingly blocking the path of the group, President He, who was at the front, scrutinized Su Xuan with a suspicious look.

Everyone stopped, and Su Xuan’s smile was tinged with irony, his clear and indifferent eyes were rare for someone of such a restless age.

Bypassing the two presidents in front, Su Xuan calmly said to Chen Wanqing, “Distinguished guests, I am President Chen’s assistant.

President Chen has had an emergency at home, and I need to take her back now.”

“Emergency?

What emergency?” The man supporting Chen Wanqing had hair as shiny as his shoes below, and he looked at Su Xuan with doubtful eyes.

Chen Wanqing, in a dazed state, could barely stand, struggling to lift her head, her watery eyes half-opening and half-closing, unable to see clearly the man standing before her, the overpowering alcohol had deprived her of normal consciousness.

Seeing that he had a good chance of conquering Chen Wanqing tonight, the man supporting her grew immediately unhappy when an assistant suddenly appeared and spoiled his plan, his sinister expression unnerving.

Su Xuan walked up beside the man, squinting and smiling at him for two to three seconds before casually taking over Chen Wanqing’s body, supporting her right arm and shoulder with both hands.

“Thank you for taking care of our President Chen, sir,” Su Xuan said, his tone oozing with politeness.

His words were flawless, leaving the man with nothing to retort.

The man’s face showed displeasure, but given the presence of other presidents, he couldn’t afford to lose face.

With President Chen’s assistant saying so, what more could he do?

He couldn’t very well abduct Chen Wanqing by force.

Extremely reluctantly, the man hesitated for a moment before finally releasing his hands, and Chen Wanqing’s body weakly slumped into Su Xuan’s embrace.

Su Xuan strengthened his hold, steadying Chen Wanqing, and asked with concern, “President Chen, I’m going to take you home now.

Can you still walk?”

“The assistant who came in earlier wasn’t this guy…” Observing Su Xuan’s handsome appearance, the female president holding a Prada white leather bag spoke slowly.

“Right!” The man who had been supporting Chen Wanqing thought carefully and indeed, as she mentioned, the assistant who had entered the room earlier wasn’t this man.

A tightness gripped Su Xuan’s heart, and a strong sense of urgency reminded him internally: Don’t panic!

Looking up at the female president and then directly at the man in front of him, Su Xuan responded politely, “President Chen has three assistants.

I just came from Elder Chen’s house; President Chen’s father wants her to come home right away.”

Pulling out the name of Old Master Chen was a masterstroke from Su Xuan.

This deflecting statement pacified the crowd.

In Qingshan City’s business domain, there were few who didn’t recognize Old Master Chen.

Who would dare question Su Xuan’s identity now?

Having spun a web of lies, Su Xuan still had a serious demeanor.

His acting could easily win him an Academy Award, and seeing everyone at a loss for words, Su Xuan pretended to be urgent and said, “President Chen, let me help you downstairs.

The car is waiting at the door.”

Chen Wanqing couldn’t hear what they were saying at all, her mind was in chaos, everything before her a blur.

She wanted to speak but felt too weak to summon any voice, alcohol irritating her stomach, making her want to vomit.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Su Xuan slowly walked away with Chen Wanqing in his arms.

The man left behind clenched his teeth in hatred, the angry thought of tearing this assistant to pieces consuming him.

At the staircase, Su Xuan scoffed inwardly: You want to touch my woman?

With your pig brain, I’ll tire you out!

At the entrance of Bright Moon Building, Su Xuan was anxious about how to send Chen Wanqing back.

Taking a taxi seemed to undermine her dignity, but he didn’t have a car nearby, which was troublesome.

“Mr.

Su, President Chen.” The male assistant they had previously met downstairs bought some hangover medicine and returned, just in time to run into Su Xuan and the drunken Chen Wanqing.

Looking at the male assistant, Su Xuan felt a surge of relief, “Perfect timing!”

“Hmm, President Chen has had too much to drink, I’m going to take her back now.

Do you know where her car is?” Su Xuan asked with an indifferent tone.

The assistant nodded, “It should be in the parking lot, shall I drive you both?”

“Sure, thank you for the trouble.”

After driving Su Xuan and Chen Wanqing to the entrance of Songzhou Garden Community, the male assistant asked if they needed help, but Su Xuan politely declined and helped Chen Wanqing out of the car.

Walking along the chilly paths of the community, the streetlights elongated their shadows.

Su Xuan sighed, “You, you, you can’t do this for business, your health is your capital.”

After three or four seconds, Chen Wanqing’s body tilted towards the curb, and she was about to fall when Su Xuan’s arm forcefully grabbed her.

The alcohol rushed to her brain, and Chen Wanqing, hanging her head low, vomited a great deal.

Having never seen the usually aloof Chen Wanqing in such a sorry state, Su Xuan took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe her face and gently patted her back.

“I’m not…

not drunk!” Chen Wanqing suddenly swung her arm, straightened up, and began to talk nonsense with her eyes closed.

After vomiting, she sobered up considerably.

Suppressing a smile, Su Xuan found Chen Wanqing too adorable: so, female CEOs have their childlike moments too, huh?

Don’t act drunk, it scares me.

“Alright, alright, you’re not drunk.” Supporting Chen Wanqing as they walked on, Su Xuan felt a rush of emotions.

To succeed in business, a woman has to go through so much, only she knows the hardships she’s endured.

Leaving Chen Wanqing’s home, Su Xuan felt utterly confused; stopping on the stairs, he slapped his head hard, murmuring in frustration, “Idiot!

She was so forward, and you just let it go!”

After chastising himself many times, Su Xuan slowly calmed down.

He had several thoughts of regret; after all, such an opportunity, missed once, might not come again for years.

During the long night, Chen Wanqing woke up in the morning with a throbbing headache, saw herself properly dressed and lying in bed at home, and struggled to recall last night’s events, her face reddening the more she thought about it.

Life has to go on.

After taking a bath and changing into her professional attire, Chen Wanqing arrived at the office half an hour later than usual.

After being busy for a while in the office, she still felt uneasy and couldn’t help but think of Su Xuan, recalling her loss of composure the night before.

“President Chen, Chef Wu is here.” The male assistant knocked and entered, followed by Wu Zhaoxiong himself.

Chen Wanqing furrowed her brows, surprised, “Chef Wu, what brings you here?”

Chef Wu looked panic-stricken, a rare sight; after the male assistant left the office, he walked up to Chen Wanqing’s desk and hesitated, unsure of how to begin.

“Just speak your mind.”

Once again embarrassed and hesitant, Chef Wu said gravely, “President Chen, please invite your friend over.

I was too much yesterday.”
