TVCEO Chapter 59.3

“I should have known better than to listen to you and try to stop him.” She muttered to herself.

Su Zhengxing in her mind: “?”

Was this his fault?

He didn’t ask her to give him laxatives.

Su Zhengxing got up and sat down in the chair next to Lin Qiao. He took her hand and placed it in his palm, then touched her warm cheek. His deep, dark eyes were fixed on her.

His voice was gentle as he said, “Actually, you can just tell me directly. There’s no need for suspicion between us.”

Lin Qiao knew very well that absolute honesty was impossible between them. Their relationship had been built on lies from the very beginning. The current infatuation was only temporary; it was destined to dissipate with the arrival of the truth and the outcome.

“Okay.”

Although Lin Qiao verbally agreed, her gaze honestly turned away. Su Zhengxing caught her subtle movement and felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle, a slight itch mixed with a bit of pain.

Perhaps it was his piercing gaze that made Lin Qiao’s guilty conscience, like water dripping onto lava, evaporate instantly, emitting an unbearable hissing sound.

She quickly stood up and stammered slightly, “It-it’s getting late, and I have to catch a flight tomorrow, so I’ll head back now.”

Lin Qiao made a move to run away, but Su Zhengxing gently pulled her back.

“I have some things to take care of and need to stay in Xianghai for a while. I probably won’t be able to take you to the airport tomorrow. Remember to let me know you arrived safely.”

“So sudden?” Lin Qiao asked.

He didn’t mince words, shrugging, “You know, Green Home is about to go into public bidding, and the situation is not optimistic.”

Yes, she seemed to have overheard people discussing this project at the engagement ceremony today, but she was busy dealing with the mess she had made and hadn’t listened carefully.

Su Zhengxing, in her consciousness, never wanted Baitian to get this project from the beginning. Now that the project is in trouble, it should be a good thing for him, right?

“So what do you plan to do?”

After listening, Lin Qiao sat back down with great ‘dedication’ to inquire, because she was afraid that after the real Su Zhengxing turned the tide, the one in her consciousness would order her to sabotage things again. Rather than that, it would be better to get to the bottom of things from the start and know yourself and your enemy.

Su Zhengxing knew that Lin Qiao’s concern was abnormal, but he still didn’t expose her. Instead, he gave her the answer she needed.

“Qin Shen and I plan to see Old Mr. Tan.”

Lin Qiao was unaware, but Su Zhengxing, in her consciousness, knew very well that Qiongyu’s cooperation with Shirun and Minghong must have been tacitly approved by Old Mr. Tan. Although he didn’t know what had happened to make Old Mr. Tan side with Tan Siyu, once it was announced at today’s engagement banquet, the Tan family would inevitably suffer heavy losses if they tried to get off the Green Home pirate ship.

Knowing that going to see Old Mr. Tan would most likely be useless, Su Zhengxing would still try, no matter how slim the hope. He would not give up easily until everything was settled. This was his own decision, and he knew it very well.

“Will it work?” Lin Qiao asked worriedly.

“Do you hope it will work?” He didn’t answer immediately, but asked in return, his eyes flashing with a subtle light, as if expecting something.

“I hope you get what you want.” Lin Qiao didn’t answer his question directly; her words were vague, but her expression was serious.

Su Zhengxing smiled and said nothing more.
