Shen Xiuqi played golf exceptionally well, hitting a perfect hole-in-one every time. Su Yaya watched him from the sidelines, clapping and cheering every time the ball went into the hole, always the best cheerleader.

“President Shen, your golf skills are amazing!”

“President Shen, you’re awesome!”

“President Shen, you’re incredible!”

Su Yaya’s sweet and soft voice filled his ears, and Shen Xiuqi couldn’t help but smile, finally regaining some of his pride.

After Shen Xiuqi made another hole-in-one and finished his last shot, Su Yaya ran over to him with a bright smile. Her long, slender legs gleamed under the sunlight, her sports skirt swaying with her every step. She resembled a joyful bird as she rushed toward him and leaped into his arms, standing on tiptoe to plant a kiss on his cheek. Without any hesitation, she praised him, “President Shen, you’re really amazing!”

Shen Xiuqi glanced at her, a smug smile curling at the corner of his lips. His pride was unmistakable. “Is that all? I can do even better.”

“Really?” Su Yaya gazed into his eyes, filled with admiration, her eyes sparkling like jewels.

Shen Xiuqi casually wrapped an arm around her, lowering his head to her ear. He lightly nipped her earlobe and, in a voice that oozed seduction, said, “We could head back to the room and try it out… Maybe even change into a few more outfits.”

Even though Su Yaya had thick skin and was bold in her actions, with superb acting skills honed over time, when Shen Xiuqi’s breath brushed her ear as he whispered those words, she couldn’t help but shiver. A blush crept up her cheeks, like a soft pink blush.

“You’re so annoying!” Su Yaya pouted playfully, giving Shen Xiuqi a light slap. How could he be so bold as to say that here?

Shen Xiuqi reached out to catch her hand, his face showing a smug smile. His chest subtly vibrated, and all the previous displeasure melted away. With such a beautiful woman in his arms, so sweet and adorable, it was impossible not to feel charmed.

The two of them were in their own little world, whispering sweet nothings to each other, when a male voice suddenly cut through the air. “President Shen, you certainly have exquisite taste.”

Su Yaya, held by Shen Xiuqi, had her back to the speaker. She didn’t know who it was but felt the voice was oddly familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

Then, she heard Shen Xiuqi respond calmly, “Mr. Wang, you brought friends to play too?”

Su Yaya: ???

Mr. Wang—was it the Mr. Wang she knew?

As she thought back on the voice she had heard, it dawned on her that it really was Wang Wenhao. What was he doing here?

Turning around, Su Yaya saw Wang Wenhao dressed in a deep blue sports outfit, holding a golf club. His almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed, and a half-smile played on his handsome face.

“Long time no see, old classmate.” Wang Wenhao had already recognized Su Yaya and, seeing her turn around, greeted her with a smiling nod.

Su Yaya was momentarily surprised, but she quickly regained her composure, tapping into all her acting skills. She smiled and greeted Wang Wenhao, “Long time no see, old classmate.”

“You’re Su Yaya, right? You’re even more beautiful than on TV!” Wang Wenhao was standing next to an influencer, who immediately recognized Su Yaya. With a bright smile, she enthusiastically said, “I’ve seen you in The Queen’s Concubine—you were amazing! I really like you!”

Su Yaya glanced at the influencer. The woman appeared to be around her age, with heavy makeup that made her face look whiter than wallpaper, her lips a deep crimson, as though freshly bitten. She wore a white dress that barely reached her thighs, exposing her long legs. However, her legs weren’t as slender or well-shaped as Su Yaya’s, and the calf muscles appeared slightly more defined, not as graceful as Su Yaya’s.

Without comparison, the influencer did have nice legs, but with Su Yaya standing there, the difference was stark. It was like the heavens compared to the earth—when there was no comparison, there was no harm, but now the gap was clear.

The influencer’s enthusiasm was overwhelming, but Su Yaya didn’t want to seem rude or standoffish. To avoid appearing arrogant, she smiled and exchanged a few words. However, the influencer became even more persistent, immediately dragging Su Yaya into conversation. Su Yaya had no choice but to continue talking, though it was more out of politeness than interest.

Meanwhile, Wang Wenhao had already invited Shen Xiuqi to play. “How about a round, President Shen?”

Both men were business figures, and they knew the importance of maintaining appearances. After all, the last time Yongrong Food Company had stepped in to clarify things, they were doing Shen Xiuqi a favor. At this point, Shen Xiuqi had no reason to decline.

Shen Xiuqi gave Wang Wenhao a brief glance, his tone indifferent. “Sure, let’s have a round.”

As the two men started their game, Su Yaya and the influencer stood nearby, watching. During a break in the game, the influencer, with a smile, asked, “Would you mind if we followed each other on Weibo?”

She had already opened her Weibo profile, ready to follow Su Yaya.

Su Yaya pursed her lips, thinking for a moment before nodding. She took out her phone and exchanged Weibo follows with the influencer.
