Chapter 168: Chapter 167: How Deep Tang Daâs Leadership Schemes Are (1)
If it was a misunderstanding, why was she still standing here arguing with them?
When Su Shu arrived, she had intended to settle accounts with Tang Zelin, hoping he could manage his soldiers better and stop them from looking for excuses to loiter around where she lived.
But once she stood in front of Tang Zelin and saw his handsome, familiar face, all the grievances she carried choked in her throat, and she couldnât bring herself to trouble him.
The situation was delicate now; such rumors were incredibly detrimental to his work.
She felt it was necessary for him to explain things to his subordinates.
Thus, having thought it through, she regained her composure, âAlthough I donât know where this rumor started, I think itâs necessary to clarify things, otherwise itâs not good for the leaders.â
She said thisâhe should understand, right?
She didnât want her presence to cause any trouble for his work.
Of course, Tang Zelin understood; he was a shrewd one, what could he possibly not understand.
Not just him, everyone in the room understood.
He lowered his gaze to the water cup in front of him, the corners of his lips slightly hooked as something crossed his mind; Su Shuâs serious demeanor suddenly amused him.
Su Shu frownedâwhat does that mean? Wasnât she clear enough?
Tang Zelin, you better explain to them that she and he were not in that kind of relationship!
The meaning in Su Shuâs eyes was so entertaining to Tang Zelin that he wanted to laugh inwardly with every glance.
He suddenly remembered the girl in Peng Village who, holding a dagger and looking fierce, had said to him, âIâm your fiancĂ©e; you have to listen to me!â Where had that girl gone?
This one in front of him, from head to toe, looked desperate to make it clear she had nothing to do with himâwhy was she so interesting!
What did she want him to explain?
To clarify that sheâs not his bride, or to tell his soldiers that the woman he had admired all evening wasnât his âbride,â but a respectable married woman?
What would that make Tang Zelin?
The more she hurried to disassociate herself, the more he had intended to explain, but as the words reached his lips, he found himself unwilling to fulfill her wish.
He chuckled softly, lifting his black eyes that now sparkled with mirth.
âThey always go to see you? Annoyed, huh? Alright, Iâll speak to them, tell them not to make a mess at your place.â
Su Shu frozeâbig brother! Thatâs not what I meant, okay?
She sent a signal with her eyes to Tang Zelin, âThere are other people here; canât you explain properly whatâs between you and me? We donât have any relationship now!â
Tang Zelin raised an eyebrow, his tone one of exasperation, âFine, if it really canât be helped, Iâll transfer those people away.â
Su Shu was going insane.
âNo! Thatâs not what I mean, Tang Zelin, I want you to explain that we have no relationship!â In her urgency, she forgot to be mindful when directly addressing him by his name.
The people around them let out a silent âoh.â
Calling each other by their first names yet pretending thereâs no relationship? Tsk tsk, she truly is the group captainâs wife.
Tang Zelin nodded, âFine, fine, Iâll explain everything to them later, is that okay?â
Su Shu: ââŠâ
Why did his tone always feel so awkward to her!
âTang ⊠group captain?â
âHmm?â A voice as magnetic as it was laced with laughter responded.
âIâm not your bride; can you make that clear?â Su Shu asked tentatively, how could she have forgotten that the man before her was even slier than a Fox.
Tang Zelin smiled, âI can.â
âReally?â
âHmm.â
âAlright then, I have no problems; youâre busy, Iâll be leaving.â
Better hurry off; she had the sinking feeling that if she didnât leave now, she would fall into a trap.
True to form, a womanâs sixth sense was always frighteningly accurate.
âRest assured, Iâll make it clear youâre a fiancĂ©e, not yet a bride,â the man behind her suddenly said.
Su Shu, who was close to the door, nearly stumbled to the ground.
Ahhhhh!!!!
This man!
