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

Zhao Jinqian simply said "Wait" and then fell silent.

But the two remained on the phone the whole time.

Su Ta smiled as she looked at the screen showing a call in progress, and continued to act coquettishly towards him through the phone.

"Zhao Jinqian, your house is so far away and so big, it's so hard to find!"

If she intends to act coquettishly, her voice will be more melodious than usual, like the Kunqu opera tune.

She wasn't exaggerating.

Zhao Jinqian lives in the largest and most luxurious private estate on the outskirts of Beijing. As for its size, she certainly couldn't estimate it with the naked eye. In short, it was so big that it was practically uninhabitable.

She waited for a while but didn't receive a reply from him, and Su Ta frowned.

Why are you ignoring me? Are you even listening to me?!

"Ahem, Third Brother, if you have something to do, how about I come another day?"

Hearing the unfamiliar male voice, Su Ta realized that there really was someone beside him.

Was she just deliberately acting cute towards him?

Could someone have overheard them?

However, at that moment, a black sedan stopped a few meters away from her, and a man in a suit got out of the car.

"Hello, Miss Su. My name is Wei Cheng. I am Third Master's private secretary. He sent me to pick you up."

Su Ta nodded politely to him, then glanced at her phone. Zhao Jinqian was still there?

"I've seen your secretary, so I'll hang up now. You'll see me soon."

After saying that, she hung up the phone and spoke to Wei Cheng.

"Hello, Secretary Wei, thank you for your help."

Wei Cheng, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, smiled politely and said, "No trouble at all, Miss Su, please get in the car."

Su Ta glanced at his car, and Wei Cheng immediately added.

"This entire estate belongs to Third Master's private property. Miss Su, please leave your car here for now."

Su Ta then understood why the navigation ended there: it was because further in was Zhao Jinqian's private area, which the navigation wouldn't mark.

"OK."

After getting on the bus, Su Ta admired the scenery passing by outside the window.

I couldn't help but sigh that there's still a huge gap between the rich kids and capital.

They live in a villa, while others live in a private estate. What a huge difference!

She longs to own a private estate like that too!

"Secretary Wei?"

"You mean Miss Su?"

"Does your Third Master have guests? Did I come at the wrong time?"

Wei Cheng smiled and said, "You can't really be considered a guest. Since Third Master asked me to pick up Miss Su, it means we haven't been disturbed. Miss Su doesn't need to worry."

Suta blinked. "Okay."

The car drove for about ten minutes before stopping.

After getting off the car, Su Ta followed Wei Cheng into the manor gate.

But she was overwhelmed by the magnificent Chinese style before her.

"Miss Su, please."

Su Ta smiled, trying her best not to appear petty.

But who could bring the phrase "living by mountains and water" to their own place?

But when applied to Zhao Jinqian, it seemed perfectly natural.

"Um, Secretary Wei, can I ask you something?"

Wei Cheng still had a smile on his face, and seemed very approachable and easy to talk to.

"Miss Su, please ask."

Su Ta licked her lips. "Has your Third Master really never had a girlfriend?"

"As far as I know, no, but if you want to know, you can ask Third Master yourself."

"That won't be necessary..."

He said this morning that it was his first time, so if she asks again, isn't it obvious that she doesn't believe him and is suspicious of him?

It took quite a while to finally enter Zhao Jinqian's private space.

Because he was too rough with her last night, she is feeling very uncomfortable right now.

"Miss Su, please have a seat. I'll go and fetch Third Master."

"Oh well."

Su Ta sat down, and she sighed softly, suppressing her discomfort. If it were anyone else, she would have gone on strike long ago.

The next moment, servants began to serve her drinks, tea, snacks, and fruit.

There are many varieties for her to choose from.

"Please enjoy your meal, miss."

"Thanks."

Although Suta was controlling her diet, these pastries were truly exquisite and beautiful, at least unlike anything she had ever seen before.

So while waiting for Zhao Jinqian's free time, I couldn't resist trying it.

"Who is this young lady? I've worked here for three years, and this is the first time I've ever seen a woman come to the manor..."

"Me too, but I just heard Secretary Wei call this Miss Su."

"What is the relationship between this Miss Su and our gentleman?"

Shh, stop gossiping and prying, or you'll lose your job!

After eating the pastries, Suta drank a cup of hot tea.

Although it's springtime, the indoor temperature is particularly comfortable.

She sat gracefully for a while, but then she couldn't bear the fatigue and discomfort any longer.

After all, she had been up for most of the night and hadn't had a proper rest in the afternoon, so she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep without realizing it.

"Third Brother, thank you so much this time. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, I definitely will..."

The speaker was Gu Yuankai, a member of the Gu family in Beijing. He and Zhao Jinqian were in the same class when they were young, so they were quite close.

But there are probably very few people who can truly be considered brothers with Zhao Jinqian.

After all, Zhao Jinqian spends most of his time abroad. These people are his childhood friends, but they don't spend much time together.

Gu Yuankai raised his hand halfway through his sentence.

He immediately understood and shut his mouth, then followed his gaze downwards.

There was a person leaning against the sofa, or more accurately, a very beautiful sleeping beauty.

Gu Yuankai was somewhat surprised, not expecting to see a woman other than a servant here.

"Third Brother, who is this...?"

He tentatively opened his mouth, but Zhao Jinqian clearly had no intention of speaking, so he wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

Zhao Jinqian was dressed casually, in a Chinese-style loungewear outfit.

The hem of his robe was embroidered with green bamboo, which swayed gently with his steps, lifelike and vivid.

When the maid saw that Su Ta had fallen asleep, she brought a blanket to cover her up.

Upon seeing Zhao Jinqian, she nodded to him and handed him the blanket when he reached out his hand.

Zhao Jinqian took the blanket and walked towards the oblivious Su Ta.

The blanket felt soft, but it couldn't compare to someone's body.

Su Ta had obviously changed into a dress in the afternoon. Compared to the fuchsia dress she wore last night, the light blue dress she was wearing now actually suited her face, which could captivate everyone even without makeup, much better.

It was obvious that she was exhausted last night, so she slept very soundly, even her breathing was shallow.

But her sleeping face was serene and peaceful, with a touch of red at the corners of her eyes that made her seem endearing.

Gu Yuankai only recognized Su Ta's face when he got closer.

After all, many people around him were interested in the Su family's daughter.

Zhao Jinqian stood by the sofa and watched silently for a while before personally covering Su Ta with the blanket in his hand.

The movements were slightly stiff, not exactly careful, but gentle enough.

This alone is enough to prove that Su Ta is absolutely different in Zhao Jinqian's heart.

So he stepped forward and deliberately lowered his voice.

"Then I'll head back now, Third Brother, without disturbing you any longer."

Before leaving, Gu Yuankai couldn't help but take another look at Su Ta, who was sleeping on the sofa.

If he remembered correctly, his cousin seemed to have feelings for this Miss Su as well.

It seems he'll have to give him a good talking-to when he gets back.

After all, anyone who dares to make a move on a woman that Zhao Jinqian has his eye on is practically courting death.
