Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Si had no choice but to pick her up and carry her directly into the elevator lobby.
As the elevator doors closed, blocking out the glaring fluorescent lights outside, i Shu felt surprised. “Why did you agree so readily this ti?”
Lu Si looked helpless. “Because if I didn’t carry you away now, those dia reporters would have surrounded you outside.”
i Shu smiled and caressed his face. “You’re becoming more like my personal butler.”
Lu Si nodded in agreent. “After all, I’m your future family mber.”
i Shu’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. “I know what you’re worried about, but let tell you, everything is within my expectations.” “I know you can handle this.” Lu Si found that the longer he spent with i Shu, the more they cooperated seamlessly. Sotis, just by exchanging a glance, they could understand each other’s thoughts.
Like now, although Lu Si didn’t know the details of i Shu’s plan for tonight, he knew what he needed to do to protect i Shu to the fullest extent possible without disrupting her plan.
In the makeup room.
Tang i nervously patted her chest and took a deep breath. “Fortunately, we tid everything perfectly. I had never been so precise with ti before.”
Lin He smiled and handed her a glass of water. “You did a great job. No wonder Shu’er trusts you so much.”
“It’s not that. I just follow orders. The real talent belongs to Miss Lin and our President i!” Tang i grinned and drank the water in one gulp, feeling quite heroic.
Jiang He couldn’t help but tease her. “I saw Secretary Tang’s hands trembling as she held her phone to check the ti!”
Tang i glared at him fiercely. “Today is a big deal for the reputation of our i Corporation. Is it abnormal for to be nervous?”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Jiang He was afraid of annoying her and quickly surrendered, raising both hands. “My mistake. Secretary Tang is capable and beautiful, and Jiang Hai and I are not even in the sa league with you.”
Tang i blushed and scolded him, “You’re too slick with your words! Jiang Hai is much better than you, steady and reliable. I’ll learn more from Big Brother Jiang Hai in the future!”
“Hey, why do you only call him ‘big brother’?” Jiang He imdiately protested. “How about calling ‘big brother,’ and I’ll teach you too?”
Tang i looked disdainful. “I don’t want to learn from you!”
The two of them started arguing again.
Lin He, holding a teacup, watched with a smile, and the sense of tension in her heart gradually dissipated.
Actually, when it ca to being nervous, she was no less than Tang i.
From the mont the lights went out, her heart had been in her throat. But she knew that tonight, the stakes were high for her, and it wasn’t just about herself; she also bore the reputation of the entire i Corporation.
i Shu was willing to entrust her entire fortune to cooperate with her actions, so she had to succeed.
Fortunately, this performance was perfect. With a rare score of ninety-nine points, she won first place in this competition by a wide margin, finally giving herself and i Shu a satisfactory result.
Seeing her seemingly relieved expression, Jiang Hai walked over and whispered comfortingly, “You don’t need to bear such a heavy burden. Whether your performance tonight is successful or not, Miss i will have a way to deal with it. But congratulations on your great success.”
Lin He was slightly taken aback.
She inexplicably sensed i Shu’s unwavering trust in Jiang Hai’s words.
But wasn’t Jiang Hai Lu Si’s subordinate?
Lin He t Jiang Hai’s confused eyes and quickly regained her composure. “Thankyou. Tonight’s success owes a lot to you and Jiang He.”
Jiang Hai smiled and shook his head. “I finally understand why Miss i is so close to you. You and her are really alike in so ways.”
“Is that so?” Lin He was infected by his smile and couldn’t help but smile too. “Shu’er is a very good girl. I still have a long way to go compared to her. With Master Si by her side, her future should be far from limited.”
Hearing this, Jiang Hai’s gaze dimd, neither confirming nor denying. “Miss i and Master Si are indeed a perfect match.”
anwhile, the arguing voices of Tang i and Jiang He continued unabated.
The door of the makeup room was pushed open with a “click” from outside.
i Shu, being carried in by Lu Si, was just in ti to see the two of them arguing fiercely with flushed faces. A smile crept into her eyes. “What are you talking about?”
“Master Si!”
“President i!”
The two of them quieted down simultaneously, and the tense atmosphere from earlier dissipated.
Jiang Hai’s gaze lingered on the two arms Lu Si wrapped around i Shu’s neck for a long ti before he lowered his head and said quietly, “Master Si, Miss i.”
Lu Si ignored him, his face impassive, as he sat down on the sofa with i Shu in his arms. He carefully inspected the bandages and plaster on her legs, only relaxing when he confird that they weren’t loose and there was no bleeding. Seeing how loving they looked, Lin He couldn’t help but envy them. “If only I had been more discerning in choosing a boyfriend back then, maybe I would be as happy and accomplished as you both are now.”
i Shu playfully pouted. “Sister Lin, you won first place this ti. You’re now a national-level dancer. With so many achievents, aren’t you happier and more fulfilled than being with a man?”
