Chapter 81: I Won’t Let You Suffer Anymore

The phone screen displayed the surveillance footage of Su Yiren’s office.

Su Yiren slid the timeline, adjusting the time to after they left the office, then pressed fast forward.

She only pressed normal speed when a figure appeared on the screen, pointing it out to Si Hong:

“Here comes the show!”

A young woman in a suit and skirt walked in stealthily.

She stood at the door, looking around, then went to Su Yiren’s computer desk, pulling open drawers and quickly searching inside.

After about a few minutes of searching, she seemed to hear something and quickly ducked under the desk.

A security guard appeared on the screen. The man looked at the door, saw that no one was inside, and closed the door directly.

After waiting for a while, the young woman cautiously crawled out, stood in front of the desk, hesitated for a moment, and then turned on her computer.

Si Hong saw that the computer screen lit up and was surprised:

“Your computer has a password, right? How did she crack it?”

Su Yiren raised her eyebrows and smiled, “I unlocked it remotely.”

Si Hong sighed helplessly, “Why bother?”

“Casting a long line to catch a big fish,” Su Yiren motioned for him to continue watching,

“She finally sneaked in once, so she has to take something with her, otherwise how will she report back!”

Si Hong was speechless, “You are so kind…”

“Just so-so, third in the world.”

The young woman moved the mouse, searching through the computer. Finally, she seemed to find something, immediately took out a USB drive from her pocket, and copied the files from the computer onto it.

Then, she restored everything to its original state and left quietly.

The whole process took less than ten minutes, but Su Yiren watched it with great interest.

When Si Hong saw the image stop, he asked her:

“Did you deliberately leave the door open for her to come in?”

“I saw a suspicious figure in front of the door just now. This is giving her a chance, I want to see what she wants to do.” Su Yiren asked,

“Who is she?”

“The new assistant in the secretary’s office, Zou Xiaoli.”

Su Yiren resumed her flattering mode,

“You know everyone. I told you, you have an amazing memory, right?”

Si Hong looked at her helplessly, “You really go all out when you flatter me…”

Su Yiren chuckled and closed the phone, a gleam in her eyes,

“Guess what she copied?”

Si Hong thought for a moment and answered:

“She probably copied whatever you care about the most.”

They looked at each other, both seeing the answer in each other’s eyes.

Si Hong knew she was full of tricks, but he was a little worried about this matter,

“You just let her take it so easily?”

“Don’t worry,” Su Yiren’s lips curved into a smile, her eyes full of calculation,

“What she took is what I wanted her to take.”

Seeing her mischievous look, Si Hong couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, and he no longer worried.

After they finished their meal, they didn’t go back immediately, planning to stroll around the mall to digest their food.

Su Yiren walked into a men’s clothing store, picking up a shirt here, a suit there, bustling about with great interest.

Si Hong followed behind her, seeing her carefully selecting, he didn’t know who she was buying things for.

He looked at her with indifferent eyes for a while, then looked away.

Unexpectedly, Su Yiren suddenly took two ties and went to him, gesturing on him, asking:

“Which one looks better?”

Si Hong lowered his eyes and looked at them, replying seriously:

“It depends on what color shirt and suit you’re wearing, and the other person’s preference.”

“The suit I made for you last year! I see you wear it often, does this tie match?” She pondered for a moment, then said,

“But it’s getting cold, I’m going to make you a set of autumn clothes, and I think this one matches better.”

Si Hong blinked in surprise, “Are you buying it for me?”

“What else?” Su Yiren continued to gesture in front of him,

“I still think this one looks better, what do you think?”

Si Hong lowered his eyes, looking at the little woman’s serious expression, he wanted to touch her head like he did when she was a child, but he just thought about it and lowered his hand.

“Both are good.”

As long as it’s your choice, it’s good.

“Then buy both!” Su Yiren was satisfied and went to pay.

Si Hong stood behind her, watching her happy and excited look, his heart softened into a puddle.

They walked around the mall for a while before Si Hong sent her back to the hotel.

As soon as she opened the door, Su Yiren said to him:

“Have a cup of coffee before you leave.” After saying that, she kicked off her slippers and went to make coffee, chattering:

“I miss the coffee machine at home, it’s so easy to use. Do you remember the latte art I made for you once? I finally learned it! You only took one sip!”

Si Hong sat at the dining table, his eyes behind the glasses were gentle and soft,

“It was too sweet.”

Su Yiren turned her head and looked at him,

“Life is so bitter, you have to eat something sweet.”

Si Hong’s smile faded slightly, and after a while he said:

“I won’t let you suffer anymore.”

Su Yiren’s hand stirring the coffee paused, as if she hadn’t heard anything, she smiled and walked over with two cups of coffee, placing one in front of Si Hong,

“Here, a shot of espresso made by this lady.”

“Thanks.” Si Hong smiled,

“By the way, it’s the weekend tomorrow, I’m taking you somewhere.”

“Where?” Su Yiren asked.

Si Hong didn’t answer, “You’ll find out tomorrow.”

“Hey! When did you become so mysterious?” Su Yiren complained in a low voice.

Si Hong took a sip of coffee and laughed silently.

Su Yiren rested her chin on her hand, watching him drink the bitter coffee calmly, she felt her tongue turn bitter too.

“Why don’t you like coffee with sugar? Or any sweets?”

Si Hong paused, “Nothing, I just don’t like it.”

After finishing his coffee, he put down the cup, got up and said:

“It’s late, go to bed early.”

Su Yiren saw him out the door, then leaned against the door and waved to him.

Si Hong watched her close the door, then walked to the elevator.

Looking at the red numbers changing one by one, he remembered Su Yiren’s question just now, and silently replied in his heart:

Because once you taste the sweetness, you can’t eat the bitterness anymore.

The next morning, Si Hong was waiting for her in the hotel lobby.

Su Yiren was wearing a comfortable long dress, flat shoes, a backpack on her shoulder, and a large sun hat.

Si Hong saw that she had also put on light makeup, and couldn’t help but laugh,

“Are you going on a picnic?”

“Isn’t it?” Su Yiren looked down at her simple attire,

“If you tell me now that you’re taking me to a party today, I’ll definitely beat you up.”

“So fierce…” Si Hong said that, but his tone was flat, obviously not afraid of her at all.

He looked at her again, his eyes soft,

“Not going to a party, you look good in this.”

It was almost an hour’s drive, and Su Yiren took a nap in the car.

When she opened her eyes and saw the scene outside the window, her eyes instantly turned red.
