C79 – I’ll Take You Back


    Upon hearing Wang Kai’s words, Ye Ling blushed.


    Nevertheless, they were all adults and ustomed to such situations.


    “You didn’t drive?” Su Ming inquired.


    “No,” Ye Ling replied.


    “I took a taxi here today,” she continued.


    Su Ming offered, “Then I’ll give you a ride back?”


    “Sure,” Ye Ling epted.


    Ye Ling nodded in agreement.


    She no longer felt the need to act reserved at this moment.


    There was no pretense necessary.


    Su Ming, like anyone, appreciated beauty.


    Back in high school, Ye Ling was already naturally stunning without makeup. After graduating from university two years ago, her beauty had only intensified.


    Standing at 1.72 meters tall, she possessed long, fair legs and an immacte, curvaceous figure coupled with a sweet and seductive demeanor. Such a woman wouldmand attention anywhere she went.


    He only intended to drop Ye Ling off at her home without any ulterior motives.


    Therefore, even if he brought it up first, it wouldn’t make Ye Ling feel ufortable.


    Su Ming nodded and walked to the passenger side of the car, opening the door for Ye Ling. She greeted him with a sweet smile before settling into the seat.


    A group of female students behind them watched this scene with envy.


    However, they had no recourse.


    Inparison to Ye Ling, they paled in both beauty and allure.


    Moreover, they were excessively snobbish.


    As they witnessed Su Ming and Ye Ling drive away, the students exchanged nces and sighed in frustration.


    The student gathering concluded uneventfully.


    They felt both embarrassed and powerless.


    Yet, it was entirely their own doing.


    While seated in the car, Ye Ling shared her address with Su Ming.


    Ye Ling had a rented a residence in an upscale neighborhood.


    “I heard you’re getting married soon?” Ye Ling, sitting in the car, blinked her eyes, a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her expression.


    “We broke up,” Su Ming replied with a faint smile.


    “Huh?” Ye Ling was taken aback. “Why?”


    Su Ming exined with a smile, “She’s pregnant with someone else’s child.”


    “I see,” Ye Ling nodded,prehension dawning.


    Even Ye Ling herself failed to notice the happiness that had spread across her face.


    Her breathing even quickened slightly.


    “I heard you went abroad during your second year?” Su Ming inquired.


    “Yes,” Ye Ling confirmed with a helpless shrug. “My father insisted. He believed the academic environment abroad was better, and I have to admit he was right.”


    Su Ming nodded in understanding.


    The educational systems of domestic and foreign universities differed significantly.


    Overseas universities boasted a richer academic environment, resulting in graduates with slightly superior capabilities.


    Nevertheless, Su Ming held the belief that, with the nation’s development, this gap would eventually narrow.


    “You won’t be leaving after your return?” Su Ming inquired.


    “No, I n to stay here in the country. The food abroad is too in; it doesn’tpare to the richness of our local cuisine,” Su Ming replied.


    Ye Ling blinked, her curiosity piqued. “What have you been up to these past few years? How did you suddenly be so aplished?”


    Su Ming chuckled mischievously. “That’s a secret.”


    Ye Ling yfully rolled her eyes. If Su Ming didn’t want to share, that was fine.


    The two of them engaged in cheerful conversation as they made their way to their destination.


    After exchanging new contact information, Ye Ling took her leave.


    After all, it was their first meeting, and it didn’t feel appropriate to invite Su Ming in for tea just yet.


    They would have to get better acquainted before that.


    After seeing Ye Ling home, Su Ming remembered the withered vines still left in his field and promptly drove back.


    Upon arriving home, he was surprised to find that the wall had already been constructed. Through the side door, he could catch a glimpse of the vi’s rough outline.


    It had been constructed astonishingly quickly!


    While building a vi elsewhere would typically take three or four months, with Su Ming’s involvement, the timeline was several times shorter.


    “Mr. Su,” the project manager greeted him.


    The manager approached Su Ming and said, “Mr. Su, as you can see, we’veid the foundation for the vi, and the basement floors are nearly finished. We’ll speed things up, but rest assured, we won’t cut corners.”


    Su Ming blinked and replied, “Actually, I’m not in a hurry.”


    The manager was touched by Su Ming’s consideration.


    Su Ming was bewildered, thinking he might have said something inappropriate.


    The manager, on the other hand, interpreted Su Ming’s words differently.


    “Mr. Su, no wonder you’ve achieved such sess. Your generosity and concern for us, even in your busy schedule, truly show your character. We appreciate your kindness, but please know that your work is of paramount importance to us. We ept your concern but will neverpromise on ourmitment!”


    The manager responded with unwavering determination.


    Su Ming blinked again.


    In reality, he meant he wasn’t in a hurry, but the manager perceived a different message.


    This situation felt oddly familiar.


    Su Ming couldn’t help but find simrities with President Chen.


    Despite this realization, he decided not to say anything more to avoid any misunderstandings.


    “Mr. Su, is that your car?” the manager suddenly noticed the vehicle parked by the roadside and eximed.


    “Yes,” Su Ming replied casually.


    “A Koenigsegg!” the manager eximed in awe.


    He quickly reminded himself that it was only natural for someone like Mr. Su to drive such a car, and he shouldn’t lose hisposure.


    Su Ming was puzzled by the manager’s reaction.


    “What’s wrong?” he asked.


    “It’s a Koenigsegg, a limited edition sports car known worldwide! Seeing one in person is a rare sight!” the manager exined.


    After thinking it through, he realized that this was expected. Mr. Su, of course, would drive such a prestigious car and not be surprised by it.


    “Mr. Su, I apologize for my reaction; I got carried away,” the manager admitted.


    “No worries,” Su Ming replied, still a bit perplexed by the manager’s behavior.


    “What?” Su Ming was utterly bewildered when he saw the manager bow down and tremble.


    He couldn’t grasp the reason behind it.


    Su Ming was even more puzzled when he felt the manager’s reverence.


    So, he gently patted the manager on the shoulder and reassured him, “It’s all right. You all continue with your work. I have things to attend to as well.”


    The manager, touched by Su Ming’s kindness and the strength of his touch, teared up.


    Mr. Su was truly exceptional!


    Mr. Su, rest assured, we will give it our all and not disappoint you!


    Energized by this interaction, the manager, who had initially been fatigued, strode purposefully toward the construction site.
