“I’ve seen the previous works of your company’s designers, which are very suitable for our theme this time. The feeling of home, the most original flavor:

warmth. Our luxury rooms this time are meant to evoke that kind of feeling,” Su Yuan opened the meeting by getting straight to the point.

“Mr. Su, rest assured, we will wholeheartedly meet your requirements. Our designers have a good reputation in the industry. This is MO Qing, in charge of this design,” He Guoping confidently replied while introducing a woman standing beside him.

“Mr. Su, nice to meet you. Your name is well-known,” the woman’s voice was soft and melodious, her appearance striking. She stood up gracefully and shook hands with Su Yuan.

“Director He, I hope we can have more than one option. As far as I know, Ms. Shu’s designs are very good…” Su Yuan hinted.

“Of course, we’ll definitely have the designers compete internally before making a decision,” He Guoping, who had climbed up the ladder to his current position, had seen all sorts of people, and he couldn’t help but knock his head, wondering why he hadn’t seen through their connection.

As Su Yuan’s current project was quite important, everyone was fully committed, and Shu Pan was no exception.

Initially, Su Yuan thought he could have dinner with Shu Pan, but she politely declined, saying “Another time”.

After work, Shu Pan hurriedly rushed home to cook.

“Brother Ting, do we have any plans tonight? Why are you leaving so early? Something going on?” He Ming was a bit puzzled. He hadn’t seen him leave this early before.

“Going home to have dinner, ” Gu Shaoting said firmly.

“Going back to your old house?”

“No, back to Shuimu Qinghua.” Gu Shaoting packed his things and answered while leaving.

“Haven’t you had enough of Auntie’s food? How about we go out?” He Ming suggested.

“Not going, I’m leaving.” With that, he waved his hand and walked away without looking back, leaving He Ming deep in thought.

Gu Shaoting didn’t quite understand why he felt so eager to return to Shuimu

Qinghua, his heart racing with unexplainable excitement.

A simple home-cooked meal was enough to satisfy him.

Lately, Shu Pan was busy preparing for the design competition for Su Yuan’s company. Suddenly, her phone on the desk rang without warning, startling her while she was engrossed in drawing.

Picking up the phone, she saw an unfamiliar number. After a moment’s hesitation, she answered the call.

“Hello? Who’s this? What do you want?” Shu Pan balanced the phone between her head and shoulder, continuing to draw with her hands. It was Wednesday, and the design submission was due on Friday. She really needed to catch up on her work.

“Is this Ms. Shu?” A sweet and gentle voice came from the other end, soothing and pleasant to hear.

Shu Pan put down the pen, straightened up, and glanced at her phone again, confirming that the number was unknown. “Who is this?”

A soft laughter came from the other end of the phone. “Ms. Shu, you may not know me, but I know you. Would you like to have a cup of coffee sometime?”

Shu Pan furrowed her brow slightly. “I’m sorry, I’m quite busy right now, and I don’t have a habit of having coffee with strangers.”

“Ms. Shu, please don’t make a decision so quickly. You may not know me, but you know my husband,” the voice on the other end said.

Shu Pan was getting confused, the conversation sounding enigmatic. “I’m not quite sure what you mean.”

“Su Yuan.” The voice on the phone softly uttered those two words, followed by a playful laugh. “I’m Su Yuan’s wife, Zhou Jie.”

Shu Pan’s hand stiffened. She found this situation inexplicable. She and Su Yuan had been separated for so long, and there was no connection between them now.. Why would his wife be calling her?
