"How could this happen?"


    Lin Ruoxue''s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly turned her head to nce at Su Chen.


    Sure enough, he was hanging his head with an unhappy expression on his face, and there was something indescribably off about him.


    Seeing him like this, Lin Ruoxue couldn''t help but feel a wave of anger as well. She had been worried that this guy would mess things up, which is why she had given him a solemn reminder in the car earlier.


    After all, today''s events were far too important to her and the Belle Corporation!


    But unexpectedly, just when it mattered most, something had gone wrong!


    When facing such an important person, what kind of impression does slumping your head and pouting make?


    Let''s not even talk about the princess, even she herself would definitely feel ufortable in such a situation!


    However, anger aside, the problem at hand still needed to be solved. Otherwise, did the Belle Corporation still stand a chance of qualifying as that partner?


    "I''m so sorry, Princess Eniel. It really is a regrettable incident," apologized Lin Ruoxue. Then, in English, she exined:


    "This is our Public Rtions Director, Su Chen. He definitely doesn''t mean any disrespect toward you. It''s just that he had a high fever yesterday, and he might be feeling a bit unwell now. I hope you can understand!"


    "A high fever yesterday?"


    Eniel murmured as she looked at Su Chen, the corners of her mouth slightly curving up, seemingly with a hint of mockery and a touch of amusement.


    In her mind, she thought, He can get a fever? With his physique, he doesn''t even know what a fever feels like, does he?


    Back then, when the two of them were in such a cold ce, wearing thin clothes for several days, she never saw him get a fever!


    "Yunlong, why do I feel that Princess Eniel is looking at your elder brother with strange eyes?"


    Since Yun Family''s members were standing right next to Lin Ruoxue, they could see very clearly. Relying on a woman''s intuition, Yunyao felt something was off.


    "Really?"


    Yunlong carelessly responded:


    "Well, my brother is such a good man, it''s not impossible for some princess to fall in love at first sight with him. So sister, you''d better hurry up. As the saying goes, ''Firste, first served.''"


    Yunyao had only asked casually, but upon hearing Yunlong bring that matter up again, she immediately twisted his waist sharply, making him grimace in pain!


    Lin Ruoxue, due to her nervousness, hadn''t noticed Eniel''s strangeness. She quickly tugged at Su Chen:


    "You need to exin to her in Sartean quickly!"


    In her view, using the princess''s ownnguage would naturally be more cordial, and perhaps it would make Princess Eniel overlook Su Chen''s previous discourtesy, maybe evene to see the Belle Corporation in a new light!


    What Lin Ruoxue didn''t know was that her actions were providing the two an opportunity tomunicate publicly!


    Su Chen also immediately asked in the Sarteannguage:


    "Howe you''re here?"


    His tone was filled with both depression and helplessness.


    "What? Can''t Ie?"


    Eniel tilted her head, smiling meaningfully:


    "You had a fever yesterday?"


    Hearing this, Su Chen began to feel somewhat embarrassed. Pretending to be sick might fool Lin Ruoxue and Wang Ma, but how could it possibly fool Eniel, who knew him all too well?


    Still, he stubbornly responded:


    "Of course, it''s true. What''s so strange about being sick?"


    "Are you sure you''re not just avoiding me?"


    Eniel''s lips curled into another arc, her face carrying a vague smile.


    "Of course not. Why would I hide from you?"


    Su Chen said, his eyes darting away.


    "Well then, since you''re not avoiding me,e to my hotel tonight."


    Eniel stepped forward, stopping just thirty or forty centimeters from Su Chen, her breath as fragrant as orchids as she spoke, her beautiful eyes shooting him a bright light only he could understand!


    As soon as Eniel finished speaking, Su Chen''s heart "thumped" and he hurriedly nced at Lin Ruoxue as if nonchntly, relieved to see she hadn''t noticed anything unusual.


    "Yunlong, there''s definitely something not normal between your older brother and Princess Eniel!"


    Yunyao reaffirmed her earlier opinion; although she couldn''t understand their conversation, she could sense something from their expressions alone.


    The others seemed to have the same feeling, as if the two were not meeting for the first time but rather appeared as if they had known each other for a long time.


    Although this thought crossed their minds, they quickly dismissed it.


    In their eyes, how could this young man possibly have any interaction with a high and mighty Princess?


    "What''s not normal? I don''t see it,"


    Yunlong, as straightforward as he was, couldn''t possibly be as perceptive as Yunyao.


    "Forget it. It''s like talking to a brick wall with you,"


    Yunyao pouted discontentedly, watching the two conversing from afar.


    "Sis, you''re not jealous because my older brother is getting on well with another woman, are you?"


    Yunlong leaned in closer to Yunyao, winking as he spoke.


    "Pfft, who would be jealous of him? Who he''s with is none of my business,"


    Yunyao retorted immediately, but a faint blush crept onto her face all the same.


    At that moment, hearing Eniel''s invitation to her hotel for the evening made Su Chen''s heart "pound."


    As for what they would do at the hotel, that didn''t even need to be asked; it was nothing new to the both of them!


    He dared not agree, naturally because of Lin Ruoxue, yet he couldn''t afford not to agree, as Eniel was far from a saint.


    Moreover, setting that aside, he had deep feelings for Eniel,plex ones that included love, friendship, and camaraderie!


    Sometimes Su Chen''s heart was cold, and he could kill many people without batting an eye, asionally using ruthless methods; yet at other times, his heart was soft, like now, not wanting to hurt either of the women.


    But he couldn''t find a way that would both set his mind at ease and satisfy both women.


    Facing Eniel''s somewhat burning, expectant gaze, Su Chen mustered up the will to say:


    "Well, I''ve got some things going on tonight, I might not have time..."


    When Su Chen said this, he didn''t dare look into Eniel''s eyes because he knew what would be there.


    As expected, upon hearing these words, Eniel''s eyes immediately turned cold, then she collected herself:


    "I''ll send you the address to your pher. Whether youe is up to you!"


    After that, Eniel put on a professional smile and said to Lin Ruoxue:


    "Ms. Lin, it''s a pleasure to meet you. I would love to visit your corporation when I have the chance!"


    Of course, this time, Eniel switched from Gothic to English.


    "Wee, wee! A warm wee!"


    Lin Ruoxue replied eagerly, because this indicated that the other party was very interested in the Belle Corporation, or why else would she visit without a reason?


    Having heard what Eniel said, Su Chen couldn''t help but shiver inside...
