Gu Zi found herself reflecting on certain matters. She shared her thoughts with Su Shen, "I must say, your old comrade doesn’t seem to be quite the gentleman. His younger brother is far more open and honest. You mentioned your intention to take over this project, and he sold it to you without a second thought. He probably thinks he’s made a great deal, but he doesn’t realize that his lack of integrity might cost him future opportunities for appreciation."
Su Shen, toying with her long hair, was clearly not focused on business matters, but he responded nonetheless, "A comrade is a comrade, business is business. It’s hard for a businessman to go far if he’s too concerned with being a gentleman. Gu Zi, don’t worry about these things."
Gu Zi grumbled discontentedly, "All men are the same, thinking women shouldn’t interfere with their work. But they never consider that your success or failure directly affects the standard of living for us at home. Now you’re finding me annoying."
Su Shen chuckled softly, placating her in a gentle voice, "My dear Gu Zi, you misunderstand me. I don’t mind you meddling, in fact, I welcome it. Besides, your assessment of Chen Yu is accurate. He’s a man driven by profit. But how do you know that I won’t prioritize profit over him in the business world? Gu Zi, your man won’t be taken advantage of."
Gu Zi found the older man’s voice alluring. His breath was tickling her, making her feel shy. She asked hesitantly, "Then why do you want me to stay out of it?"
Su Shen moved to pin her beneath him, his gaze filled with a mix of helplessness and indulgence. She was not the brightest, yet she saw through everything.
He wanted to call her clever, but she never seemed to understand how much he desired her. In the late-night intimacy, skin against skin, he didn’t want to discuss anything else. He only wanted to make love to her.
His deep voice resonated from his chest, stirring her senses as he called her name, "Gu Zi, can I inspect you tonight?" freēwebnovel.com
