Su Chang883's face instantly turned extremely awkward. He was secretly puzzled. That's not what the video said! He originally thought that as long as he bought a girl a bag, he could make her happy immediately, but he didn't expect that it would not work at all with Han Xiaoli.
Su Chang has one advantage: she stops thinking about things she can't figure out.
He asked directly, "I'm sorry! I was wrong this time. Tell me, what will it take for you to forgive me?"
Looking at Su Chang's serious expression, Han Xiaoli felt a mix of emotions. His handsome face made her want to slap him hard, yet she couldn't bring herself to do it.
She said with a hint of resentment, "You hit her there, and now she's seen it. She's definitely going to tell your women. What more do you want?"
Upon hearing Han Xiaoli's words, Su Chang's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard. Seeing Han Xiaoli's slightly shy yet slightly resentful expression, a strange feeling welled up inside him. Han Xiaoli was simply too charming; he hadn't expected her to react this way at all.
Su Chang looked at Han Xiaoli with some uncertainty, a hint of doubt in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Um... Han Xiaoli, do you mean... you want to be with me?" His voice was uncertain, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Han Xiaoli's face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment. She lowered her head, not daring to look Su Chang in the eye, fidgeting nervously with the hem of her clothes, and said with a resentful look, "You're such a blockhead. Do I really need to explain this to you more clearly?"
She had long harbored feelings for Su Chang, but had never had the courage to express them, so she had always used provocation to get his attention. Now, she finally mustered the courage, hoping that Su Chang would understand her feelings.
Su Chang was still somewhat uneasy and pressed on, "Han Xiaoli, didn't you say I was a womanizer? Didn't you want Xingchen to leave me? Then why are you still willing to...?" His eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Han Xiaoli slapped Su Chang's shoulder in annoyance, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes. She said with a resentful look, "You're a grown man, why are you being so effeminate? I'm just asking you, do you agree or not?" Her tone was urgent and expectant.
Seeing that Han Xiaoli had returned to normal, Su Chang breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would have thought that Han Xiaoli had also been transported to another world.
He took a deep breath, then looked firmly at Han Xiaoli and said, "Of course I agree!" His voice was full of determination and sincerity.
Upon hearing Su Chang's reply, Han Xiaoli's face lit up with a joyful smile, her eyes sparkling with happiness. She reached out and gently took Su Chang's hand, feeling his warmth and strength.
Han Xiaoli's body gradually grew hot, and her breathing became increasingly rapid. Her hands gripped Su Chang's shoulders tightly, as if she wanted to meld him into her very being. Her heart was filled with longing and love for Su Chang; she wished this moment could last forever.
They had long forgotten about eating; their hearts were only for each other, and for the beauty and happiness of this moment.
On the other side, Chen Nanxing ran into the room with a face full of excitement, like a cheerful little bird.
When the women saw that only Chen Nanxing had returned, and seeing his expression of barely contained excitement, they couldn't help but curiously turn their gazes to him.
Although Song Xingchen was filled with worry, she didn't dare to ask at this moment.
Seeing Song Xingchen's conflicted expression, Guan Juer quickly asked, "Nanxing, where are Su Chang and the others?" Song Xingchen looked at Guan Juer with gratitude, as if she were her lifeline.
Chen Nanxing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile. Then, like a mischievous child, he said slyly, "Don't worry, they probably won't be coming anytime soon."
Song Xingchen's unease grew stronger, and she could no longer suppress her emotions. She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with them? Are they arguing?" Her voice was filled with obvious anxiety.
Chen Nanxing originally didn't want to pay attention to Song Xingchen, but seeing how nervous she was, he deliberately put on a serious face and said, "It's unlikely that they'll quarrel, but it's still possible that they'll fight."
"Huh? What happened? I have to go see." Song Xingchen's face turned pale instantly. Like a frightened rabbit, she hurriedly ran towards the door.
Guan Juer was about to chase after him when Chen Nanxing grabbed her arm.
Guan Juer looked anxious. She immediately tried to shake off Chen Nanxing's hand and said, "Hey! Nanxing, let go of me! They're fighting already, why are you still stopping me?" Her eyes were full of urgency and worry.
Chen Nanxing pursed his lips, then leaned close to Guan Juer's ear and whispered a few words.
Guan Juer's face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple. She shoved Chen Nanxing in annoyance and said coquettishly, "You're really... so annoying."
At this moment, Gao Wenruohan and Tang Guoguo also came over. Gao Wenruohan asked curiously, "No... Nanxing, just tell us, what exactly happened?"
Tang Guoguo also looked at Wen Gaoruohan with curiosity, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Chen Nanxing pursed her lips and deliberately kept everyone in suspense, saying, "Want to know? Then go and see for yourselves!" After saying that, she even winked mischievously.
When Wen Gaoruohan and Tang Guoguo saw that Chen Nanxing refused to speak, they immediately turned to leave.
Guan Juer quickly stopped the two of them, anxiously saying, "Don't go, this bad guy is ruining people." There was a hint of reproach in her voice.
Chen Nanxing immediately retorted defiantly, "Guan Guan, you're slandering me. How did I ruin someone's reputation?" Her eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and grievance.
Guan Juer completely ignored her and whispered about Su Chang and Han Xiaoli in their ears. After hearing this, Gao Wenruohan and Tang Guoguo exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
With a shout of "Go!" from Wen Gao Ruohan, the two pounced on Chen Nanxing like hungry tigers. Caught off guard, Chen Nanxing was tackled to the ground.
Her body crashed heavily onto the thick cashmere carpet with a dull thud. Luckily, there was a thick cashmere carpet on the floor, otherwise Chen Nanxing would probably have been seriously injured.
Guan Juer stood aside, seeing that Chen Nanxing was unharmed and still able to resist, a helpless smile appeared on her face. She had no intention of going to help Chen Nanxing at all; instead, she found the whole thing quite amusing.
Yang Tao then waved to Guan Juer and called out, "Guan Guan, come here quickly."
Guan Juer immediately went over obediently and sat down next to Yang Tao.
Xu Li, standing next to her, immediately asked with curiosity, "Guan Guan, tell me, what exactly happened?" The other women also leaned in to listen, staring intently at Guan Juer with expectant eyes.
Guan Juer shook her head helplessly and had no choice but to recount the story of Su Chang and Han Xiaoli once again.
Xu Li curled her lip and said disdainfully, "We have another sister here."
Yang Tao frowned, then said, "That's just the kind of person he is. Fine, let him be. Let's eat first." Her tone carried a hint of helplessness and disappointment.
Then everyone nodded and walked toward the restaurant, ignoring the three women who were still struggling on the ground.
Song Xingchen rushed to Su Chang's room in a panic, barging in without even knocking. Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
When she found the living room empty, Song Xingchen panicked, wondering if the two of them had finished their fight and where they had gone.
Just as Song Xingchen was about to go out and ask someone, she suddenly heard a faint noise coming from a room. Her nerves instantly tensed, and her feet moved involuntarily toward the room.

When she found the living room empty, Song Xingchen panicked, wondering if the two of them had finished their fight and where they had gone.
Just as Song Xingchen was about to go out and ask someone, she suddenly heard a faint noise coming from a room. Her nerves instantly tensed, and her feet moved involuntarily toward the room.
She had just opened the door when she suddenly heard a sound that made her blush. The sound was like a sharp sword, piercing Song Xingchen's eardrums and making her cheeks instantly burn.
The sound of the door opening startled Su Chang and Han Xiaoli awake. They immediately stopped what they were doing and looked out the door. Han Xiaoli's face was full of embarrassment. She hurriedly covered her head with the blanket, as if that could hide her embarrassment and shame.
Song Xingchen playfully drew circles on Su Chang's chest with her finger, pouted, and scolded, "You big bad guy, you're so wicked!" Her eyes flashed with a hint of shyness and anger.
Su Chang chuckled twice, a sly glint in his eyes, then gently kissed Song Xingchen's forehead and said softly, "Aren't you best friends? How about we be sisters for life?" A faint smile played on his lips, as if he were waiting for Song Xingchen's response.
Song Xingchen pouted, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes as she said, "You jerk, if you're going to be lustful, fine, but now you're saying we should be sisters for life? I should thank you, right?" Her tone was sarcastic as she gently twisted her body, trying to break free from Su Chang's embrace.
Su Chang coughed awkwardly twice, a slightly unnatural look on his face, and then said shamelessly, "Given our relationship, there's no need for thanks."
Song Xingchen immediately reached out and pinched Su Chang's soft waist, her movements somewhat hasty, as if she wanted to punish Su Chang. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pinch that soft flesh, and could only slap Su Chang's chest twice. Su Chang's body was as hard as iron, and the two slaps only made Song Xingchen's hand hurt.
Song Xingchen stretched out her palm with a wronged expression and placed it in front of Su Chang's eyes, saying coquettishly, "You bad boy, are you made of iron? Look at my hand, it's all red." Her eyes were full of resentment and pain.
Su Chang shook his head helplessly, quickly let go of the two women, then took Song Xingchen's hand, breathed on it a couple of times, and said gently, "There's no way around it, if I weren't a little tougher, how could I dare to provoke so many beauties like you?" His voice was full of doting, and he gently stroked Song Xingchen's hair at the same time.
When Su Chang was snoring her, Song Xingchen felt a surge of emotion, and a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes.
However, upon hearing Su Chang's next words, her face immediately darkened. She glared at him irritably, turned away, and refused to pay him any more attention.
Seeing this, Su Chang had no choice but to turn around quickly, hug her tightly in his arms, and coax her softly, "Don't be angry, baby, I was wrong, okay?"
······
The next morning, when Su Chang helped Han Xiaoli and Song Xingchen into the living room, the living room was already full of people.
Han Xiaoli and Song Xingchen immediately turned their heads away in embarrassment, not daring to meet the eyes of the crowd, their faces flushed red as if they could bleed.
The two quickly broke free from Su Chang's embrace, and then Song Xingchen helped Han Xiaoli sit down next to Guan Juer.
Su Chang, however, pretended to be indifferent and looked at Su Chu, asking, "Su Chu, where are we going next?"
Su Chu had originally planned to hide to the side like an ostrich, but now she knew there was no way to escape it.
He took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and quickly said, "President Su, we originally planned to go to Guizhou next, but Ms. Andy, Ms. Yang Tao, Ms. Tong Wei, and Ms. Li Meng all said that there wasn't enough time and they had other work to do, so at Ms. Yan's invitation, we are going to Lijiang next."
Su Chang looked at the girls with a surprised expression, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were full of doubt.
His voice rose slightly, tinged with displeasure, as he asked, "Andy, Peach, Mengmeng, Weiwei, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry to go back? Shuyi and Ruoshan are planning to come and meet us tomorrow."
Andy shook her head helplessly, a hint of helplessness and anxiety in her eyes. She sighed and said, "There's no way around it. The two projects you and Lao Tan are working on urgently need my help. Lao Tan has been urging me for a long time, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me not to go back soon."
Yang Tao quickly added, "I also have a lot of things waiting for me at the hotel. It seems there were some problems with the renovations, and I urgently need to go back and deal with them." Her eyes were filled with worry, and her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about how to solve these problems.
Tong Wei shrugged, a helpless smile on her face. She said casually, "Don't look at me, I can't help it either. The company is collaborating with Shengxuan on a project, and I'm in charge of communicating with the government on Longteng Group's side. I definitely can't not go back." A sense of responsibility and mission shone in her eyes.
Li Meng looked at her five students, her eyes filled with care and worry. She said gently, "Su Chang, you know I've been taking them out for quite a while now. If we don't go back soon, their families will be worried. They'll be in their final year of high school soon, and we can't let their studies be delayed." Her voice carried a hint of firmness, leaving no room for argument.
Su Chang knew these women weren't exactly idle, so he shook his head helplessly. His eyes revealed a hint of understanding and resignation, and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Alright, let's go to Lijiang then."
Then, he looked at Guan Xiaodi and asked, "Xiaodi, has everything been arranged with Zhang Jun?"
Guan Xiaodi gave an OK sign, her face beaming with a confident smile.
She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements with Lao Zhang. The plane can take off at any time, and the other team will be on standby on the plane." Her eyes revealed a decisiveness and determination, as if she was full of confidence in her arrangements.
·· ··Requesting flowers··· ········
Su Chang nodded and said, "Okay then, let's go have breakfast first, and then head to the airport."
Everyone agreed with Su Chang's arrangements and followed her to the restaurant for dinner.
···········
When the group arrived at the airport by car, Zhang Jun and the others had already been waiting for a long time at the foot of the huge Airbus A380.
As soon as Su Chang got out of the car, Zhang Jun and the others shouted in unison, "Welcome, boss!" Their loud voices echoed throughout the airport.
Su Chang frowned slightly; he clearly disliked this overly elaborate ceremony. His gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Zhang Jun, and he asked, "Who came up with this ceremony?"
Zhang Jun glanced nervously at the other captain beside him. The captain, forcing a smile, replied, "Boss, this is a welcome ceremony our team performs for all our clients. Is there anything you're unhappy about? We'll definitely correct it in the future." His voice carried a hint of unease.
..... ..... ...
Su Chang shook his head helplessly and said, "Alright, that's enough. I don't like this kind of formalism. It's silly. As long as you provide good service, that's more important than anything else." His tone was firm and left no room for argument.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun, Song Yi, Xing Lu, and Ming Zhen immediately broke into happy smiles. They had always been critical of such formalistic ceremonies, finding them somewhat silly. At this moment, they felt a sense of shared understanding with Su Chang.
Mingzhen jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Boss, that's fantastic!" Her face was beaming with joy and her eyes were sparkling.
