Chapter 97: Your Sister is in Love

She walked away, making sure that Shen Yu couldn’t hear her, before answering the phone that had been ringing for half a minute.

Holding the phone with both hands, she put it to her ear and heard He Tingzhou’s indifferent voice: “Didn’t I tell you something?”

Of course, she remembered his three requirements. She scratched her hair in annoyance: “I have to answer your calls.”

“Then why did you hang up on me just now?”

“I was having dinner with my brother, it wasn’t convenient to answer.” she explained.

“Having dinner, huh?” He Tingzhou said slowly, “Then give my regards to him.”

If she gave him regards, Shen Yu would know who called, wouldn’t it be the same as confessing?

“You have his number, call him yourself.” Shuangxu didn’t want to waste any words, “Did you call me for something?”

“I’m going to Hong Kong.” He Tingzhou said.

Why did he need to tell her about going to Hong Kong?

The background noise on the other end was empty and noisy, the roar of the airplane engine proving that He Tingzhou was already at the airport. Shuangxu asked: “Are you going on a business trip?”

He Tingzhou said coldly: “To reclaim Taiwan.”

…What’s that supposed to mean?

Shuangxu said speechlessly: “Then good luck.”

His tone carried a hint of sarcasm: “Are you happy to hear that I’m leaving?”

A little bit, maybe. If he wasn’t here, she wouldn’t have to sleep with him, and she wouldn’t have to worry about being discovered.

It was like a full-time housewife who gets up at five o’clock in the morning and works hard all morning to finally send her child to kindergarten, it’s hard not to feel relaxed at that moment.

But Shuangxu didn’t dare say it, she fooled him: “No, I’m not. Where did you hear that I’m happy?”

He Tingzhou sneered: “From your heart.”

“…”

He said again: “Don’t you want to ask how long I’ll be gone?”

Shuangxu cooperated and asked: “How long will you be gone?”

“Four days.”

Shuangxu: “Oh.”

There was silence on the other end for a few seconds, the Crown Prince was obviously not satisfied with her perfunctory response, he slowed down his speech: “Song Shuangxu, I’ll give you another chance, say it again.”

Say what again?

She tried: “Be careful on the road?”

The cabin door closed, the background noise disappeared, He Tingzhou’s voice was soft: “What, are you going to bomb me?”

“Is your sister dating?” Zhao lawyer was cutting his steak, and suddenly said a sentence.

Shu Yang, who was trying to sneak a sip of wine while Shuangxu was away, almost choked.

Shen Yu looked up, towards Shuangxu who was talking on the phone with her back to them, his expression was calm: “Why do you ask that?”

“She seems a little nervous.” Zhao lawyer said with a smile, “My daughter was like that when she was in love.”

Is this the lawyer’s insight? Shu Yang swallowed the wine hard, and said with a laugh: “Shuangxu is twenty-two, not a teenager, what’s there to be nervous about.”

Shen Yu didn’t say anything, Shuangxu’s reaction to answering the phone twice was indeed a bit unusual.

Shuangxu looked back at the dining table, and found Shen Yu’s gaze looking at her across half the restaurant.

Even though he couldn’t hear, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

She quickly perfunctorily answered He Tingzhou: “Then come back soon?”

Actually, she thought this sentence was nonsense, the arrangement of the work schedule was not something she could control, he had to go for four days, there must be things that needed to be done for four days.

But this sentence was indeed the correct answer, He Tingzhou’s voice finally didn’t sound so sarcastic: “I’ll come back as soon as I’m done.”

Shuangxu breathed a sigh of relief, finally hanging up the phone.

When she returned to the dining table, Shen Yu’s gaze fell on her.

Shu Yang gave her a wink across the table, she didn’t understand yet, she heard Shen Yu ask: “Whose call was that?”

“…”Tingting.” Shuangxu secretly rejoiced, she had changed the nickname before coming back.

“Tingting?”

Shen Yu knew her circle of friends well, there was no one named Tingting. People she knew wouldn’t use a nickname with repeated syllables.

“Made a new friend?”

“Yeah.” Shuangxu tried her best to keep her expression neutral, “Met at work.”

Shu Yang naturally took over the conversation: “The beautiful woman who came to deliver things to you last time, right? She’s quite pretty.”

“Yes.”

The two of them answered each other, cooperating to fool him.

After this topic was over, Shuangxu gave Shu Yang a grateful look, Shu Yang winked at her.

Back to the company in the afternoon, as soon as she and Shu Yang entered, there were fireworks, confetti flying all over the place.

The speakers played festive music: “Today is a good day~ Everything you wish for will come true~”

Everyone had a festive smile on their faces, Old Li hung a garland around Shu Yang’s neck: “Let’s congratulate Shu General for defeating the scumbag and winning the victory!”

Shu Yang stood in the center of everyone with a moved expression, holding a microphone that someone handed her: “Thank you everyone, thank you CCTV… Of course, the most grateful is our Song General, you are really my little lucky star!”

Xiao Liao immediately threw a handful of petals at Shuangxu: “Great!”

Shuangxu laughed, brushing the petals off her hair: “Everyone is happy today, let’s take the afternoon off, those who want to go home can go home, those who want to relax, choose a place, today Shu General is treating everyone!”

“I’m treating, Song General will pay the bill.” Shu Yang said, pushing Xiao Liao who was kindly helping her brush the confetti off her hair, “Put away your useless eye-sight, you’ve even knocked off my wig.”

“Look at our company culture!” A new employee said excitedly, “I knew I came to the right place.”

The entire company went out to celebrate in the afternoon, after dinner they went to KTV to sing, Xiao Liao shouted to Shuangxu in the off-key singing: “I posted it on my Moments, little boss, help me order–>>.

“Okay, I’ll give it a thumbs up.”

Shuangxu opened her Moments and gave a thumbs up to all of her colleagues who had just posted updates. She then scrolled down.

She stopped at a particular post.

Muyan Shu had posted a set of photos, the Victoria Harbour skyline bustling and romantic, skyscrapers towering amidst dazzling lights.

The beautiful photos attracted many likes, and a young man who often played with Yue Zifeng and the others commented: “Hey, you went to Hong Kong?”

Muyan Shu replied ambiguously: “Just came to play.”

Another young man asked: “When is Zhou Ye coming back?”

Muyan Shu: “He’ll be staying for a few days.”

Shuangxu scrolled up.

Three days later, it was time for the regular meeting at Yun Dun.

Director Fan called, postponing the meeting from morning to afternoon, citing that he had something urgent and couldn’t make it back in the morning.

In the afternoon, Shuangxu and her team arrived at Yun Dun Group on time. The drone test flight time and plan had been finalized, and the meeting was a final confirmation and discussion of the plan.

When the meeting ended and the door to the conference room opened, Xu Zhen stood outside.

“Ms. Song, Mr. He just came back from Hong Kong and wants to sync with you on the results discussed at the meeting.”

Director Fan’s eyes darted around as he chuckled and said: “I can just report this to Mr. He, why bother Ms. Song with this trip?”

Xu Zhen glanced at him, a constant smile on his face, his voice calm and steady: “Director Fan, do you have any doubts about Mr. He’s arrangements?”

Director Fan’s smile immediately became awkward: “No, no, I’m just afraid of delaying Ms. Song’s later arrangements.”

Xu Zhen bypassed him and looked at Shuangxu: “Ms. Song, do you have any other arrangements?”

The words “on call” were truly a tight a restrictive band).

Shuangxu stood up: “Reporting to Mr. He is more important.”
