Su Wanqing lay back on the large bed.
Clearly, she had only slept for one night, but it felt as if she had slept for years—exhausted, drained, her mind foggy. Soon, she drifted into deep sleep again.
When she woke up, it was already fully bright outside. She got out of bed and went downstairs.
A servant approached her.
“Madam, will you be having your meal now?”
Su Wanqing glanced around. “Where is Sir and the young master?”
The servant paused slightly. “Sir went to the company early this morning, and the young master just left as well.”
Su Wanqing was already used to the servant’s surprised expression.
After finishing her meal, she freshened up with simple makeup and drove to the company.
Because of the dream, she felt like she understood this world a little more deeply.
She walked familiarly into the secretary department.
“Winnie?” Just as she pushed open the door, a woman in a short skirt with exquisite makeup came up to greet her. When she saw Su Wanqing’s light makeup, she clearly froze for a moment.
Su Wanqing smiled faintly and greeted her as she walked in.
“Dy, good morning.”
“Rumor has it that President Li returned from a business trip late last night. Here—an ‘heartwarming stomach soup’ I prepared for you.” Dy pointed at a wooden insulated lunch box on the desk.
In the secretary department, it was no secret that Su Wanqing liked Li Yuancheng. As the young lady with both beauty and a powerful background, many people tried to curry favor with her, and they all knew how to please her.
The original Su Wanqing in the novel was foolish and brainless—she would do whatever others suggested, even things like drugging or framing others were all ideas she had blindly followed.
Su Wanqing sat down at her workstation and looked at her.
“If it’s such a good opportunity, why don’t you take it yourself?”
Dy panicked for a moment. “President Li… how could someone like us even hope to deserve him? A prince should be with a princess.”
Everyone wanted to rise above their station—Dy was no exception. If President Li was already disgusted with Su Wanqing, who clung to him like a stubborn plaster, then maintaining proper distance like she did might actually be a better strategy. After all, wasn’t it human nature for men to want what they couldn’t get? So what if Su Wanqing came from a good family? She was still being played around in their hands.
Su Wanqing lowered her head and continued processing documents.
“Don’t prepare these things for me anymore.”
Dy hurriedly leaned forward. “Why? If you’re close to the water, you get the moon first. You should make the first move. I even heard that the CEO brought a woman back this time—he’s keeping her in an apartment outside.”
Su Wanqing’s hand paused. She raised an eyebrow.
So the female lead had appeared.
She then asked calmly, “Why are you investigating this?”
Dy panicked again. “I… I was just doing it for you!”
Su Wanqing said flatly, “You don’t need to tell me these things anymore. Just do your job properly.”
“But—”
Dy wanted to say more, but when she met Su Wanqing’s sharp gaze, she immediately shut her mouth.
After Dy left, Su Wanqing rested her chin on her hand in thought.
The female lead had appeared. Although she wasn’t sure whether she would be controlled by the plot, she couldn’t guarantee she wouldn’t become an obstacle on the male and female leads’ path of romance.
So… to cut it off at the source, she shouldn’t continue staying by the male lead’s side.
Su Wanqing remained seated at her desk for the entire day.
Normally she would frequently run to the CEO’s office, and the secretary department would also help her proactively. She used to enjoy it.
But today, she refused everyone’s help.
Dy tried several times to persuade her, but every time she met Su Wanqing’s gaze, she backed down helplessly.
