Are you crazy?! He accidentally flirted with a bigwig in Beijing's elite circles.

"Tata, don't panic, don't panic..."

But Su Ta became more and more panicked the more she thought about it.

"Do you think he's already figured something out tonight? Nini, do you think he'll investigate what happened that night?"

She wasn't afraid of being found out when she made that decision.

Because what she did was very obvious; she was after Zhao Shen.

Even if Zhao Shen found out, by then the deed was done, and she was confident that she could get Zhao Shen to not hold her responsible.

But she never dreamed that she would sleep with the wrong person, Zhao Jinqian!

Zhao Shen and Zhao Jinqian, this uncle and nephew, are not even on the same level.

Therefore, once Zhao Jinqian became suspicious, he investigated further and had someone investigate what happened that night.

Her tricks and schemes are simply no match for her.

If he knew that the person she went to such lengths to sleep with was Zhao Shen...

Su Ta didn't dare to think any further; a chill ran down her spine.

The thought that Zhao Jinqian would be very angry and might break up with her in a fit of anger made her very anxious.

Her heart ached terribly.

Like being pricked by needles...

"Ouch..."

Hearing her gasp, Shen Manni immediately asked.

"Tata, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

Su Ta frowned, her expression clearly showing some discomfort, and she touched her heart.

"It's nothing, I probably just had a slight stitch in my side, it'll be fine after a while."

"Tata, listen to me, don't panic. Have you ever heard this saying?"

Suta seemed a bit down, even though she was quite happy today.

"What are you saying?"

"People in love are all fools. He might not even realize it. Aren't you just giving yourself away by doing this?"

"You mean he's stupid?"

"I'm not saying Zhao Jinqian is stupid, but all people who are blinded by love are the same."

Su Ta was conflicted; she bit her nails.

"If he doesn't find out, am I supposed to keep it from him forever?"

"Of course, for him, a white lie is also a kind of happiness, isn't it?"

Yes, that's right!

He himself said that he dislikes things that are beyond his control.

Clearly, this was the exception.

"There's another way!"

Su Ta's eyes lit up immediately. "What method?"

"Given Zhao Jinqian's methods, if he really became suspicious of you tonight and sent someone to investigate, it wouldn't take him more than one night. He should find out very soon."

"What?" Su Ta was so startled that she stood up abruptly from the sofa.

They were so anxious that they paced back and forth in circles, like ants on a hot pan.

"What kind of good idea is this?"

"Hey, don't rush me, can you let me finish what I have to say?"

Su Ta had no choice but to force herself to calm down for the time being. She took a deep breath and sat back down on the sofa.

"Go on!"

"So tomorrow you can test or observe his emotions. If he really had someone investigate what happened that night, a man like Zhao Jinqian would definitely not be indifferent. Even if he's reluctant to break up with you, his emotions will definitely reveal it. So you just need to observe carefully and you'll know!"

Su Ta, however, was on the verge of tears.

Are you sure he won't break up with me after he finds out?

Shen Manni suddenly fell silent.

Seeing her silence made Su Ta want to cry even more.

"Nini, tell me the truth..."

Shen Manni sighed softly.

"Tata, I really can't say for sure about this. I don't know Zhao Jinqian, but I could tell at the dinner that day that he really likes you. He was very protective and considerate of you in every way."

Su Ta lowered her head, picking at her nails as she muttered.

"Yes, he's really good to me."

She was just as good to her as her parents were to her.

That's why she's so anxious and afraid—because she doesn't want to lose someone who truly loves her, protects her, and treats her well.

Even with no experience, she knew how precious sincerity was.

Especially in this circle, sincerity is even more precious; it can be said to be a rare species.

Because most marriages in this circle are based on mutual benefit and exchange.

What sincerity is there to speak of?

Therefore, she also knew very well that it was even more difficult for Zhao Jinqian, who lacked nothing, to be sincere.

"But you haven't known each other for very long or spent much time together. I don't know how deep your feelings are, so I can't say for sure. But one thing I'm sure of is that."

Su Ta quickly pressed, "Which point?"

"The longer you two date, the deeper his feelings for you will become, and the harder it will be for him to let you go. Even if he finds out you slept with him by mistake, he still won't be able to let you go!"

Su Ta blinked, realizing that what she said made sense.

Her feelings for Zhao Jinqian also evolved from infatuation to affection.

Then he must be the same.

The longer the time, the deeper the feelings.

"So, all you need to do is observe him tomorrow to see if he suspects anything. If he treats you the same as usual, then he doesn't suspect anything. In that case, you must be careful from now on, and absolutely do not bring up what happened that night again. Avoid it if you can!"

Su Ta took a deep breath and nodded.

"I understand. That's all we can do now. I hope he won't get suspicious."

"I don't think so..."

"So you found out?"

"I already said, people in love are all fools."

Su Ta leaned back on the sofa and sighed softly.

"I hope so. Okay, it's getting late, I'll hang up now."

Okay, goodnight.

"Okay, goodnight."

After hanging up the phone, Su Ta remained slumped on the sofa, unwilling to even move to take a shower.

She didn't know how long she had been lost in thought.

She clutched her head, feeling frustrated.

"If I had known, I should have just set my sights on him from the start!"

If I had known he was so easy to catch, Zhao Shen wouldn't have stood a chance.

Just fight monsters that are way higher level than you!

She shook her head, picked up her phone and glanced at it, but had not received a message from Zhao Jinqian.

She had no choice but to put her phone down again, get up and go to the bathroom to take a shower.

Sure enough, there was an unread message on her phone after she finished showering.

She quickly picked it up and saw that it was indeed a message from him.

With his abilities, an hour should be enough to find out what happened that night.

It had been an hour and a half since they parted ways.

So does this mean he didn't suspect anything?

She immediately sent him a video.

The video call was quickly connected, and what came into view was his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

Su Ta originally wanted to ask, "Have you gotten home yet?" but seeing this scene, she had to change her question.

"Are you drinking water?"

Zhao Jinqian's throat bobbed as he slowly moved the phone upwards.

In the video, he had already taken off his suit jacket and was only wearing a gray shirt with the collar loose.

"Yeah, I just got home."

After answering her question, Zhao Jinqian put down his water glass and looked at his phone screen.

"Just finished showering?"

Suta nodded, after all, she was still wearing a shower cap.

"Yes, I saw your message as soon as I came out, and I replied immediately."

Zhao Jinqian's thin lips curved slightly as he walked up the stairs, giving her a low reminder.

"Go blow-dry your hair."
