Su Shen donned a sleek black short-sleeved shirt that accentuated his cold and austere demeanor. The dark hue seemed to amplify the icy edge to his profile, making him appear even more distant and unyielding.

His gaze sliced through the air with an intensity beyond its usual sharpness, akin to a chilling arrow poised to strike, casting an oppressive aura that hung heavily over everyone present.

Across from him, the few employees kept their heads bowed, their hands tightly gripping their attire, some even visibly perspiring with nervousness.

As someone called out, “Sister-in-law is here!” and attention shifted, Su Shen’s gaze turned, yet the glacial frost in his eyes hadn’t entirely subsided.

A secret tremor coursed through Gu Zi’s heart.

It was the first time she witnessed Su Shen losing his composure. No wonder he typically shrouded his emotions; once unleashed, the weight of his authority could be stifling.

Su Shen had heard all of Gong Xin’s words just now. Gu Zi felt a little guilty at this moment.

Approaching the desk, she intended to open the thermos when a firm grip seized her wrist abruptly.

Before Gu Zi could react, the man’s towering figure enclosed her before the desk.

“Su Shen, we’re still in the office. How about having some soup?” Gu Zits voice unintentionally softened in the tense atmosphere, adding a sweet note. And as the man heard it, there was a subtle lift in his natural demeanor.

He pinched the woman’s neck and let her take the initiative to kiss his soft lips. He licked them and parted her lips with the tip of his tongue to kiss them.

Gu Zi found herself momentarily lost in a whirlwind of emotions, her heartbeat drowning out all other sounds.

As she steadied herself, she instinctively pressed her hand against the man’s solid chest, trying to catch her breath.

Just as she felt she might collapse into his embrace, he released her lips. His rough hands moved to steady her at the waist, helping her regain her balance.

In a low, raspy voice, the man cautioned, “Don’t use such an enticing tone with other men, alright?” His jealousy seemed ready to consume him, disregarding any other consideration—he desired her for himself.

Gu Zi’s mind struggled for oxygen, and she numbly nodded in response.

Su Shen gently pressed his fingers against her lips, a gesture almost nostalgic.

“So, you thought I was a bald old man before meeting me for the first time?

Then why did you still come looking for me? You’re quite brave.”
