Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

Chapter 273: In This Life, We Can Only Be Good Friends



"Su Chen, how did you end up marrying President Lin?"

Xia Qiuru tilted her head and asked.

"What, is it strange?"

Su Chen smiled wryly.

"It is a bit strange, it feels like you two are from different worlds."

Xia Qiuru sipped her coffee lightly and said.

"Actually, not to mention you find it strange, I myself find it a bit odd too, haha."

Thinking about his marriage to Lin Ruoxue, Su Chen sometimes still felt it was a bit surreal.

A man whose hands were stained with blood had actually become husband to a city beauty.

If it had been the Su Chen of a year ago, he would never have thought that something like this would happen.

He had thought that one day, when he was tired, he might go with Eniel to a place where no one knew them and live out the rest of his days in peace.

"How are you two getting along?"

Xia Qiuru asked with some curiosity as well.

She knew Lin Ruoxue was a cool, even icy person, very strong-willed, with a strong sense of career. In contrast, Su Chen was laid-back, as if nothing really mattered to him, just muddling along.

Could such two people really live together?

"What do you think?"

Su Chen spread his hands helplessly:

"Your President Lin is absolutely like an ice sculpture, but luckily my skills are profound, and I've already melted a bit of this ice sculpture."

"No wonder President Lin seems to have changed a bit recently, not as cold as before, it's your credit, huh!"

Xia Qiuru chuckled softly.

"Of course! Before the charm of this handsome guy, she naturally bows her head in submission!"

"Keep dreaming!"

Xia Qiuru couldn't help but give him a blank look, oozing allure, which made Su Chen's heart waver!

"Dreaming? You fell for me, didn't you?"

Su Chen blurted out, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he wished he could slap himself!

The two of them had finally gotten over their past emotional entanglements, yet he...

Xia Qiuru's face also turned slightly red when she heard Su Chen's words, and once again, the atmosphere turned a bit awkward.

However, it was Xia Qiuru who eventually broke the ice, smiling lightly:

"Yes, you're so charming, I'm totally addicted to you, happy now?"

The words Xia Qiuru spoke sounded like a joke, but exactly how much truth and how much falsehood they contained was something only she knew...

"Qiuru, you really are a good woman, I believe you'll definitely find your other half in the future, and he will be better than me!"

Su Chen said earnestly, and that was what he hoped for. If there were no Lin Ruoxue, or if his relationship with Lin Ruoxue were still like it was at the beginning, he might really have accepted Xia Qiuru.

To tell the truth, a woman like Xia Qiuru, with a delicate appearance, a graceful figure, and who was gentle, genteel, and considerate, is what countless men dream of bringing home!

"Isn't it true that whether a man or a woman is rejecting someone, they always say you are a good person, you will find someone better?"

Xia Qiuru looked at Su Chen and smiled wryly.

"I, I really mean it!"

After hearing Xia Qiuru's words, Su Chen also started to feel a bit embarrassed.

"I know, don't be nervous, I was just joking with you."

Xia Qiuru stood up and laughed:

"Let's go, I need to get back to work, or your wife might dock my pay."

"Okay!"

Su Chen followed Xia Qiuru out, feeling a bit depressed.

In the past, he had moved among so many women with ease, so why did such a small matter now seem to put him in such an awkward position?

I'm really getting more and more useless!

In fact, Su Chen understood that he could no longer be as carefree as before!

"Are you going to the public relations department now?"

While they were standing in front of the elevator waiting, Xia Qiuru casually asked.

"Yeah, but I'm just going through the motions."

Su Chen laughed.

Just then, the elevator "dinged" and the doors opened, and they both stepped in, finding themselves alone inside.

Although they had cleared the air just a moment ago, in the small confines of the elevator, they still felt somewhat uneasy.

The elevator reached the third floor first, where the public relations department was located, and Su Chen hastily fled out as if running for his life.

Xia Qiuru watched his retreating figure grow smaller through the narrowing elevator doors, feeling a sense of melancholy—perhaps in this life, this was all they would be, just good friends!

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Xia Qiuru seemed to suddenly remember something, quickly pulled the doors open, and then used her foot to keep them from shutting.

"Wait a minute!"

Xia Qiuru called out to Su Chen's back.

"Is there something else?"

Hearing the shout, Su Chen immediately stopped, turned around, and took a few steps back towards the elevator, asking in surprise.

"Oh, there's something I want to ask you, have you upset my cousin lately?"

Xia Qiuru suddenly asked.

"Nope, I only saw her once recently at a noodle shop, where we sat at the same table and I had a bowl of dumpling noodles, that's all."

Su Chen was somewhat puzzled:

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing much, just asking. You go ahead with your work!"

Xia Qiuru withdrew her foot, and the elevator doors closed quickly, continuing to rise…

Xia Qiuru inside the elevator also slightly furrowed her brows:

"If Su Chen hasn't upset her, why would Xinran be at home secretly cursing 'stinky Su Chen, dead Su Chen, bad Su Chen' and the like?"

.....

Seeing that Xia Qiuru didn't say anything else and the elevator had closed, Su Chen also turned and continued towards the public relations department.

However, Xia Qiuru's mention of her cousin Xu Xinran reminded him of the last time that girl promised to show him her sexy lingerie.

"Should I find an opportunity to take a look?"

Su Chen pondered to himself, slowly hooking up a mischievous smile on his lips, not even noticing as he walked into the public relations department.

The ladies of the public relations department were chatting when Su Chen walked in with a wicked smile, which made their hearts skip a beat.

It wasn't because they were timid, but Su Chen's smile was just too devilish, as if he was up to no good!

"Chief, are you thinking about some beauty again?"

Ran Ting, being close with Su Chen, was the first to ask.

Hearing Ran Ting's words, Su Chen was also jolted out of his reverie and curled his lip, saying:

"With all you beauties here, who else could I be thinking about?!"

"Yeah right, who believes that? You were definitely thinking about a woman just now, and probably imagining some not so kid-friendly scenes!"

Zhao Lin also gave Su Chen a look.

Su Chen was immediately alarmed, damn, this Zhao Lin must be a witch; how did she guess so accurately?

"See, I was right, wasn't I? Chief, you better not deny it!"

Zhao Lin guessed as much from Su Chen's expression.

"Nonsense, what kind of person do you take me for?" Su Chen retorted with a bit of guilt.

Being exposed, especially with thoughts of that nature, Su Chen felt a little embarrassed.

After all, one still needs to keep up appearances!
