Love You Till the End-Chapter 945 - 944: Overtime... Will My Pay Be Docked?

"Come here." His voice was light, but his words were assertive.

Su Jiuyi walked over, and he handed her the towel. Just as Su Jiuyi was about to reach for it, she slipped and fell sideways.

"Careful!" Shi Aoju quickly grabbed her wrist, helping her regain her balance.

Before Su Jiuyi could react, he held her hand and began wiping the car, standing very close to her. They were practically entwined; if she turned her head, she’d bump into his sturdy chest.

Su Jiuyi’s face instantly turned red, and she stammered, "I can do it myself."

Shi Aoju nodded and discreetly stepped aside to watch her clean.

When she reached the roof of the car, Su Jiuyi found herself a bit too short, so Shi Aoju took the towel and wiped it himself.

After about half an hour of scrubbing, the two finally managed to clean the car. Su Jiuyi had never washed a car before, and Shi Aoju was even less experienced; he usually left car management to his assistants.

"Overtime... will I still get docked pay?" Su Jiuyi softly asked, watching Shi Aoju sit inside the car.

"Considering your good performance, I won’t dock your pay for now." He said, fastening his seatbelt with a serious expression.

Upon hearing that her salary wouldn’t be docked, Su Jiuyi perked up, waved at him, "Come back early."

She hadn’t realized how much she resembled a wife sending her husband off on a trip.

Shi Aoju’s lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile as he drove away from the Shi Family’s gate.

Evening, Su Family.

"I’ve heard a lot about the Su Family’s second daughter, who is both well-read and elegant. Now that I’ve met her in person, I see that it’s true." Xiao Chen, a man with a mischievous air, had eyes filled with enchanting allure.

"Not at all." Su Manning replied politely.

"I heard you’re getting engaged soon, but I have an important engagement on the day of your engagement party, so I couldn’t attend. I’ll punish myself with three cups of liquor here and ask for your understanding, Father and Mother." As he spoke, he was about to pour the alcohol into his cup, but Su Zhenxiong and Zhao Shuya hurriedly stopped him from drinking.

Watching the three cups nearing consumption, Su Manning felt that this person seemed too cunning, not someone to be trifled with. She’d never heard her father mention him before; how did he suddenly secure an international cooperation deal? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The Xiao Group had been long-term partners with their family, but she had never met Xiao Chen. It was said that he had recently signed a contract with a multinational corporation, which, although a small stake, was quite impressive.

"Why haven’t I seen your eldest daughter, Su Jiuyi?" Mr. Xiao shifted the topic to Su Jiuyi.

Su Zhenxiong sighed but maintained his usual smile, "You can’t keep an eye on a daughter; she insists on going out to work."

Mrs. Xiao chimed in with praise, "It’s good for training; this way she won’t be spoiled. I’ve always wanted to raise a daughter like that. It seems Mrs. Su raises them well."

"Mrs. Xiao, you’re joking. Even my best fortune doesn’t compare to one-third of yours. Look at your well-behaved, filial, and successful son, Xiao Chen. As for me, all I have are two troublesome daughters." Zhao Shuya laughed, her wrinkles spreading freely.

Su Zhenxiong raised his glass, "Enough with the humble talk; maybe we’ll become in-laws in the future."

"Yes, indeed."
