He was acutely aware that Su Qian's attitude towards him had changed.

What he did not know was that the last time he ate, Gao Mei Nuo was only there as a foil for him to let Li Hongru go.

However, he wasn't at the point where he could be pushed a thousand miles away. He still had a use for it.

That day, Ye Jue had personally done it and she had acted as a shield. Zhou Yu and Bai Mei Er had been sent to the rear, leaving her lacking a male companion.

That day would be chaotic, she did not want to involve Liu Hong Ru in it.

Feng Jianxue was an old fox. He had to consider not only his outdoor home, but also how to move around him so that he wouldn't be suspected.

Zhang Dai Tian was suitable.

Simple mind with a clean background.

Zhang Dai Tian had heard of the jewelry exhibition of the Nirvana Dragon Villa, but that kind of occasion wasn't something he could enter.

Even if he wanted to broaden his horizons, he still wouldn't be able to reach that threshold.

Now that Su Qian had invited him, he wished for nothing more.

"Sure."

Su Qian indicated towards the documents on the desk.

Zhang Dai Tian was very tactful: "Alright, then busy yourself."

Once Zhang Dai Tian left, the male colleagues from Zhou came over: "Su Qian, you and Director Zhang?"

"Ordinary relationship."

"Oh."

He thought for a moment, then asked, "Then why did you invite him to the jewelry show? I heard that the jewelry show had very high specifications."

"I don't have a partner."

The male colleague was half joking, half regretting it. "Why didn't you say so earlier? I can accompany you. Hur Hur, just joking."

Su Qian laughed, and really thought that he was listening to her joke.

In less than half a day's time, the news of Su Qian inviting Zhang Dai Tian to the jewellery exhibition had spread throughout the entire company.

She finally understood that all the men of the three mechanical tribes were born with gossip in their mouths.

They didn't dare to talk about Liu Hong Ru anymore.

Just gossip about Su Qian.

A bunch of men and women talked about other people every day as if they had nothing better to do.

However, this did not exclude the possibility that Zhang Dai Tian had spread the word proudly.

During lunch time, the people of Personnel Department would constantly look at Su Qian with ambiguous eyes. They believed that Zhang Dai Tian must have flaunted this matter to them.

Less than a few days after Su Qian had joined the company, she had already become an influential figure.

First, he had an unexplained relationship with the Yan Tun.

Now, he seemed to have a deep relationship with Personnel Department's Vice General Manager Zhang.

The high spirits of the afternoon were all gone.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you really want to go to the jewelry show with Director Zhang?"

"Hmm, didn't you dislike him?"

Su Qian laughed, "It's just a jewellery exhibition, why are you like those people?

Even though he said that, Liu Hong Ru still felt uncomfortable in his heart: "If you lack a male companion, I can accompany you. That Director Zhang has ill intentions, it's better if you don't interact more with him."

He meant well and was jealous.

Su Qian finally understood.

"I understand. However, since you've invited them, it would be embarrassing for you to take them back. Let's go, let's go eat."

After having dinner with Liu Hong Ru, they returned home.

Bai Mei Er was yawning in the living room as she eavesdropped on Liu Hong Ru, both her eyes almost fell to the floor. During the past few days of eavesdropping on Liu Hong Ru, she did not have much time to sleep.

Looking at Su Qian, her eyelids lifted tiredly, and she pointed upstairs: "Go and die."

"You should not have any feelings for this Liu Hong Ru, shallow." She yawned as she passed on her experiences to Su Qian, "Stop talking, quickly go up and admit your wrongs."

"Right."

When he entered Ye Jue's study on the second floor, he immediately felt the oppressive atmosphere.

He stood with his back to her, leaving her only a shadow.

"Sit down."

Her tone was also cold, a tone that Bai Mei Er was accustomed to. After all, she had made the most mistakes.

But it was very rare for Su Qian.

He was always gentle and affectionate to her, and seldom gave birth to cold like this.

Su Qian sat down.

He turned around, frowning deeply. "Do you know what you're doing?"

His tone was not heavy, but the meaning behind his question was clear.

"Got it."

"You know you're still doing it."

Su Qian did not make a sound, she could not refute him, because in the interest of the 19th, she had done something wrong.

"The client is already rushing us, so we have made the entire plan in advance. We can't wait for Liu Hong Ru to graduate and force him into a corner in advance, forcing him to show up and take back Wang Jian's transferred assets. Yet you allowed him to live a happy life. What did I say? Have you forgotten? "

"I'm sorry."

"Don't tell me you're sorry." Ye Jue's expression was still as cold as ever, "Speak, to what extent have you fallen in love with him?"

Su Qian raised her head, slightly surprised.

Did he misunderstand?

"I just feel guilty about him."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

With her sincere affirmation, his gaze finally softened.

It was as if the cold expression on his face had been there for the entire night just to ask this question.

The answer he got was extremely satisfactory.

As a human, Su Qian naturally had feelings for her.

He didn't want her to be just a killing machine.

He was only afraid that he would hesitate and hand her over to someone else.

In regards to Su Qian, he had always been very selfish.

He wanted her, but he didn't dare.

But if someone else wanted it, he wouldn't give it either.

He wouldn't even allow her to fall in love with any man other than himself.

In her many years of quests, she had missed some missions. A few years earlier, she still hadn't matured enough, so it would be a mistake if she encountered prey that were a little more cunning.

However, this failure was intentional.

Because deep down, she and Liu Hong Ru were actually the same type of person, pure and kind.

The word had tormented him all day.

Now, he was relieved, but he also realized that he wasn't confident.

Would he take a step closer and firmly declare his ownership?

He couldn't help but step forward and touch Su Qian's cheek with his hand: "Qian Qian Qian, if there's no next time, you're mine."

Su Qian's face flushed red. He had never said any romantic words to her before.

He had given her enough, but it would always be more of an affair.

This was the first time he had spoken words of love like this.

Her heartbeat quickened as a pair of pitch-black eyes stared at him with bright emotions.

Ye Jue's throat tightened, he subconsciously lowered his head and kissed her lips.

"Knock."

The door was being knocked at an inopportune moment.

Ye Jue frowned, but his sense of reason had returned.

What was he doing?

Why does this have no control?

"Come in."

After taking a few steps back, his expression returned to normal.

Su Qian was a little disappointed, and almost kissed him.
