It wasn’t until they had left the hotel that Su Lu realized that Bo Jingshen might have had other plans, but she had intercepted him.

Because he seemed to be so handsome that it was obvious he had an arrangement.

Su Lu glanced at the man in the driver’s seat.

His hair was slicked back, exuding a sense of rebelliousness and charm, revealing his perfect features and facial contours. He had unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, revealing his collarbone and a hint of his chest. His long and slender legs were clad in fitted trousers.

He was simply too good-looking, leaving no room for doubt.

“Have you seen enough?” Bo Jingshen asked.

Su Lu coughed awkwardly and averted her gaze.

“If you haven’t seen enough, you can look later. Where do you want to go for a meal?” Bo Jingshen replied.

“The project team members from here have made a reservation for me. Let me check,” Su Lu said, opening her phone. “Elegant Music Restaurant, located on Haibin Road… Let me set up the navigation for you.”

“No need,” Bo Jingshen said calmly. When he stopped at the red light, he glanced at her from the side. His gaze was so deep that it seemed to be able to suck people in.

“I’m not as forgetful as you,” Bo Jingshen remarked.

Su Lu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Indeed, this was Hai City, the place where they had once spent their youth five years ago.

Hai City boasted good weather and beautiful scenery, especially Haibin Road.

The car drove along Haibin Road until they reached Elegant Music Restaurant, a high-end restaurant with a sea view.

As soon as Su Lu stepped into the lobby, intending to inquire about the reserved seat arranged by the project team, she heard polite voices coming from beside her.

“President Su! You’ve arrived!”

A few men approached her with smiling faces.

It turned out that the project team members had not only reserved a seat for her, but they had also personally come to receive her!

Most of the project team members for the Hai City project were sent by Gu Xin’s company.

Due to the recent public opinion, Gu Xin had provided extensive instructions for them to take utmost care of Su Lu during her visit. They naturally wanted to show their utmost concern…

Su Lu did not expect this.

It became a bit awkward…

“What’s going on?” Bo Jingshen parked the car and walked over to her. “Who are they?”

“Who is this?” the project team members asked at the same time.

Su Lu was speechless.

The project team members were speechless.

The news about Feng City wouldn’t spread like wildfire in Hai City, but they were all dispatched from Feng City, so they had naturally heard about it.

President Gu’s gossip…

Now, the project team members saw President Su accompanied by this incredibly handsome guy!

“This couple… know how to play?”

Su Lu wasn’t particularly worried that they would spread the news to Gu Xin’s side.

However, the sudden awkwardness in the eyes of the project team members made her feel a little awkward.

The only one who didn’t seem to be affected was Bo Jingshen.

“Where should we sit?” Bo Jingshen asked.

The project team members hurriedly responded, “This way, please.”

It was a private room with a view of the sea, and the ambiance was pleasant.

Seeing that Su Lu and Bo Jingshen appeared calm, the project team members quickly regained their composure.

The conversation remained formal.

“The project is almost complete, but it has been suspended for the past few days. If President Su doesn’t mind, you can go and take a look first.”

“Suspended?” Su Lu asked.

“Yes, a typhoon is coming in the next few days, so for safety reasons, we have temporarily halted the work. Once the typhoon passes, we will resume immediately. President Su can wait until work resumes to visit.”

The typhoon would start almost at this time of the year in Hai City.

“No problem, I plan to stay for a while this time. Let’s go and have a look now, and then I’ll visit again once the typhoon has passed,” Su Lu replied.

The project team members nodded. “Then it’s best to go tomorrow.”

The peculiar yet harmonious dinner came to an end.

On the way back to the hotel, Bo Jingshen recalled the awkward situation earlier and chuckled softly, “Aren’t you worried that they will tell Gu Xin?”

Su Lu couldn’t be bothered to explain that she had already divorced Gu Xin. Sometimes, Bo Jingshen’s subtly suggestive words could hurt her, but they also helped her stay alert.

She needed to stay alert.

“He already knows we are coming to Hai City. When Jiang Li asked me to take care of you, Gu Xin was present,” Su Lu explained.

A cold expression briefly crossed Bo Jingshen’s face, and his smile faded.

The car came to a stop at a red light.

With a click, Bo Jingshen unfastened his seatbelt and leaned toward Su Lu.

“Does he know… that I would treat you like this?”

He firmly grasped the back of Su Lu’s head, giving her no chance to evade.

He kissed her.

The cold scent of cedar permeated the air, captivating every breath Su Lu took.

Between their lips and teeth, the lingering flavor of Tieguanyin tea, which they had drunk after dinner, blended. Though not alcoholic, it inexplicably intoxicated her.

Su Lu made a few feeble attempts to push him away, but since she couldn’t push him, she gave up.

Only when the traffic light turned green and the cars behind them honked did Bo Jingshen release her. He fastened his seatbelt and resumed driving, the coldness in his eyes dissipated.

Su Lu wondered how he planned to seek revenge and how long he intended to carry it out.

She was just feeling a little exhausted and saddened because deep in her hidden inner self, she did not seem to be so resistant to his approach.

He was like an addictive drug that caused her pain but also made her unable to resist.

They didn’t speak during the entire journey.

The next morning, the project team members came to pick her up for the inspection.

When Su Lu got busy, she did not have the time to think about the kiss in the car last night and the vague relationship between her and Bo Jingshen.

The project she was collaborating on with the Gu family was a seaside resort hotel. The sea view was beautiful, but it was a bit far from the city, about thirty kilometers away.

In recent years, Hai City had been vigorously developing its tourism industry and had plans to build a marine park in the vicinity. The prospects for this seaside resort hotel were quite promising.

The main building was already almost completed, although it hadn’t been fully capped yet, its appearance was discernible.

Due to the temporary suspension of work and the suburban location, the place was quite deserted.

The project team members were very familiar with this place and brought her around.

Since it was an inspection visit, Su Lu paid close attention. She walked around with the project team members until it was almost noon.

The sky was becoming increasingly dark.

The project team members furrowed their brows, “President Su, why don’t we call it a day? Judging by the weather, it seems like it’s going to change. It’s also about time for lunch. Let’s head back to the city and find a place where we can eat and talk.”

Su Lu didn’t have any objections.

However, the person in charge who had chosen to stay behind despite the suspension of work, also decided to accompany them to the city for discussions.

There weren’t enough seats in the car…

“It’s alright.” The person smiled and scratched his head. “I’ve arranged for a car to pick me up. It should arrive a bit later. Why don’t you all go ahead?”

“No.” However, Su Lu said, “You can all go in one car, and I’ll wait for the other car.”

“President Su, isn’t that inconvenient?”

“It’s fine. I don’t enjoy squeezing into a car with a bunch of men.” Su Lu waved her hand and smiled.

In fact, Su Lu wanted to stay behind and take another look. The project team members had only shown her the positive aspects. No one wanted the leader to see anything negative during their inspection.

That’s why Su Lu wanted to stay alone and have another look.

Seeing her insistence, the others didn’t refuse. After all, it was just a matter of time, and it wasn’t a big issue.

Everyone thought the same way, including Su Lu.

However, her car never arrived, but the typhoon did.
