The Bowl of Seven Emotions

Norman was the most famous couple's restaurant in Feng Lin City. Su Hanting wanted to invite her, but due to various reasons, it didn't work out. In the end, she went with Shi Chengxuan.

If once was a coincidence, could the second and third time also be coincidences?

In this world, there had never been any coincidences; many things were inevitable.

"What are your thoughts?" Bai Mian was angry. If it weren't for the guests coming to her house later, she would have rushed to Tang Susu to confront her.

"I don't have any thoughts. Just treat it as a New Year's gift." Haha, she had already accepted a mirror worth 20 million. Was she still afraid of receiving a box of roses?

What's the saying? When you have many lice, you don't worry about being bitten. This was it!

Bai Mian twitched the corner of her mouth, quite impressed by her best friend's ostrich mentality. "What if he confesses to you?"

"He won't. At least for now, our relationship hasn't developed to the point of confession."

Listening to her best friend talk about that daunting man in such a familiar tone, Bai Mian felt very uncomfortable.

She knew she shouldn't have let Susu stay there. As expected, the sheep had entered the tiger's mouth.

"Shi Chengxuan, that person…" Bai Mian sighed halfway through her sentence. "You've been in Di Jiang for quite some time, so you should know very well that he's not a suitable partner, especially for you."

It wasn't that she looked down on Susu, but Susu's personality wasn't suitable to be a woman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Shi Chengxuan.

The wife of a family leader needed to bear responsibilities. The Shi family didn't belong to Shi Chengxuan yet, but everyone with discerning eyes knew that it was only a matter of time.

Everyone was also staring at the position of his wife. This not only required a match in identity and status but also a certain level of ability.

It wasn't that Susu didn't have such abilities. As long as she was willing to learn, she could certainly do well, but she wouldn't be willing.

For the sake of a man, to trap her own life, and even often need to compromise, just like her mother, even with all her strength, she could only be trapped beside a man. That man even betrayed her. Susu wouldn't want that kind of life.

What Bai Mian could see clearly, Tang Susu naturally could too.

She smiled. "You think too much. Maybe we won't even reach that step."

It didn't matter if they were lovers or boyfriend and girlfriend, but she wasn't willing to be husband and wife. Shi Chengxuan probably wouldn't be willing either.

"Forget it. Anyway, you have to be careful and stay away from him." Bai Mian was still worried, but she couldn't interfere in such matters and could only continue to pay attention secretly.

"Don't worry."

After talking to Bai Mian, Tang Susu's mood miraculously calmed down.

As soon as she hung up the phone, she received a message from Shi Chengxuan: Did you receive the gift?

Tang Susu stared at the message for a long time before replying.

Susu Susu: Received it. It's beautiful. Thank you.

Shi Chengxuan: I'm glad you like it.

With only these two short sentences, she didn't reply to the message, and the other party didn't intend to continue the conversation.

This was just right, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

A man who knew when to advance and retreat, but was strong in his methods, coupled with his background, such a man might be a good catch in the eyes of many people. To her, he was not as good as those impulsive boys who confessed to her in school.

At least, it wouldn't be too tiring to be with them.

She couldn't guess what would happen in the future, but it was good now, so be it.

That box of roses was placed in the living room. Gou Dan seemed to like it very much and often slept in the box, hugging a bunch of roses.

It was a pity that this kind of flower had a short shelf life. Most people liked to make this kind of rose into preserved flowers, but Shi Chengxuan directly sent fresh flowers. After a few days, the petals began to wilt.

Because Gou Dan liked it, she was still considering whether to order flowers to be delivered to her house every day when new flowers arrived.

Since he liked to send them, Tang Susu didn't refuse. The beneficiary became Gou Dan. Tang Susu always felt that even the bowl had a rose fragrance now.

Holidays always passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifth day of the new year. In a few days, the holiday would be completely over.

There were more pedestrians on the streets, and shops and markets were open. Tang Susu took Gou Dan out to buy groceries. After staying at home for a few days, it was rare to go out for a walk.

It was dry and cold outside. The cold air sucked into her lungs made her feel refreshed.

Fortunately, there was a small supermarket nearby that sold vegetables. She didn't have to walk too far. After arriving at the small supermarket, she picked up a handful of every kind of green leafy vegetable, preparing to replenish the vitamins she had lost during this period.

Coming out of the supermarket, before she could take a few steps, Tang Susu stopped and turned her head to look at a car parked at the corner of the street.

Under her gaze, the car slowly started and drove up to her.

Tang Susu watched as the car stopped and an old man in his sixties wearing a Chinese tunic suit got out.

The old man had short gray hair that was neatly combed. He had a white scarf around his neck, which gave him a bit of the style of Shanghai in the 1960s.

The aura around him was different from that of ordinary old people, perhaps because he had been in a high position for a long time.

"Tang Susu?"

"Who are you?"

Besides the old man, two tall men got out of the car and stood beside him. They should be bodyguards.

From the moment they appeared, Gou Dan stood up from her shoulder and assumed an attacking posture. Clearly, these two people were not friendly to him.

"This humble one's surname is Huang, Huang Shan. The master wants to invite Miss Tang to be a guest. I wonder if Miss Tang has the time?"

The Huang family.

The person who came was definitely not the head of the Huang family, but he was definitely someone important.

For such a person to approach her, if it wasn't to stand up for Huang Xiaoxiao and make her stay away from Shi Chengxuan, then something must have gone wrong with Qi Yue.

Although there was no hint of coercion in the other party's tone, and he was even asking her, she knew very well that she had no choice.

The two bodyguards had been staring at her, as if they would use other means to make her agree if she dared to refuse.

"Yes."

"Then please." Huang Shan stepped aside, giving way to the car door.

As Tang Susu walked over, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, right, the master doesn't want this matter to be known by irrelevant people. I hope Miss Tang can cooperate."

Tang Susu's face darkened. She took out her phone from her pocket, and a hand reached out to take it. The person didn't even look at it and directly turned off the phone, putting it away.

After getting into the car, she was flanked by the two bodyguards. Huang Shan sat in the passenger seat. The car drove all the way, getting further and further away from the city.

With Gou Dan around, she wasn't worried about her own safety, but she was very curious about why the Huang family had called her.

This doubt didn't last long. After about an hour, the car left the city and drove up a mountain road. After going around two mountains, it followed the winding mountain road all the way up and finally arrived at a sanatorium.
