Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 325 - 181: Knowing Oneself

"It’s okay."

Shu Wan followed Qin Lv inside, where the evening meeting attendees were all high-level executives from within the group. Ordinary employees had already left work, which is why the building was very quiet at this time.

The two got on the elevator, and Qin Lv directly took Shu Wan to Fu Siyu’s office.

"Young Madam, the Young Master’s project is estimated to need another ten minutes. Please wait a moment."

While Qin Lv was speaking, he took out some tea leaves, preparing to brew tea for Shu Wan, but she stopped him, "I’ll do it myself."

Qin Lv paused for a moment, then remembered something Fu Yang had mentioned, that the tea brewed by Shu Wan seemed to taste exceptionally good. He realized that her tea-making skills were very impressive, so he put the tea box down. "Alright, Young Madam, I’ll step out then."

"Mhm."

Even with the heating on, Fu Siyu’s office still felt a bit chilly. Shu Wan poured herself a hot cup of tea, browsed her mobile phone, and waited for Fu Siyu.

It wasn’t long before the door to the office was pushed open and the sound of his steady footsteps followed behind.

Shu Wan hadn’t turned around yet when Fu Siyu’s voice, tinged with a touch of surprise, rang out, "Why are you here so late?"

Shu Wan appeared cool and distant, but in fact, she was always very thorough when it came to etiquette.

However, at this moment, perhaps due to the comfort welling up from within, Shu Wan sat naturally in her spot, waiting for Fu Siyu to approach.

"Are you cold?"

As soon as Fu Siyu entered the office, he took off his coat, noticing the chill in the room and instinctively looked toward Shu Wan.

Inside the room, Shu Wan had taken off her down jacket, wearing only a knitted long dress.

"It seems a bit."

There were similar things to floor heating in ancient times, but the warming effect was far inferior to modern conveniences. This was Shu Wan’s first experience with modern floor heating, so she was perhaps overly trusting in it.

"I’ll turn it up."

Fu Siyu found the remote control, adjusted the temperature inside the office higher, and then sat across from Shu Wan to start preparing dinner.

The kitchen had prepared four dishes and one soup. Fu Siyu took out the meal and asked, "What did you all have for dinner tonight?"

"Chicken wings, spare ribs, corn, eggplant, and vegetables."

Shu Wan didn’t know what to call that combination of dishes, so she simply reported all the raw ingredients to Fu Siyu.

Fu Siyu was eating and subconsciously looked at Shu Wan, seeing her serious expression, as if giving a report, and felt a softness in his heart. He found her quite adorable at that moment.

Noticing Fu Siyu’s gaze, Shu Wan turned her head, "What is it?"

"Did you also have milk?"

"I did." Shu Wan continued to report unconsciously, "Strawberry milk. You seem to always know a lot of tasty things. This milk isn’t fishy, it’s lightly sweet and quite nice."

"Mhm."

Fu Siyu gave a sound of agreement. He meant to maintain a composed expression, but Shu Wan’s earnest reporting was simply too cute that even with his emotions held back, a smile couldn’t help but spill out from the depths of his eyes.

Just how attractive were Fu Siyu’s face and his aura? It was to the extent that every so often, a mere glance from Shu Wan would leave her absent-minded for a moment.

He rarely smiled, but now, with the light shining in his eyes, a scattered brilliance filled them. Even though the bright lights shone from thousands of homes outside the window, they couldn’t steal a speck of his charm.

Shu Wan’s eyes flickered slightly, "Is today’s meal exceptionally delicious? You seem very happy."

"It is a bit."

Fu Siyu looked down at the food on the table and smiled even more, "The food was already tasty, but with the care you put into delivering it, it gained some precious sentiment, naturally making it extra delicious."

The office lights were only half on, dim and bright intertwining around them. In Fu Siyu’s deep voice, the temperature of the air seemed to rise a bit.

As Shu Wan watched Fu Siyu’s kindly side profile, she was moved. She lowered her head to adjust the scarf around her neck, but when she reached for it, she realized that she had already taken it off when she entered. freёweɓnovel_com

Shu Wan’s arm slid down, and she took out her phone, "You eat. I’ll check my phone."

"Okay."

Shu Wan turned on her phone, and the first notification was the post from Fu Yang.

Her eyes warmed slightly as she directly liked Fu Yang’s status.

These days marked the end of the TV drama "Yun Ni." After nearly a month of continuous broadcasting, its ratings were incomparable.

Even though "Palace Intrigue" had a more formidable cast and far greater marketing efforts, the audience’s discernment was clear. They knew which drama was truly about storytelling, seriously refining every detail. As the plots progressed, everyone had their opinions.

Midway through the broadcast of "Yun Ni," despite "Palace Intrigue" manipulating the ratings data, it couldn’t stop the rise of "Yun Ni."

The actors in "Yun Ni," from the adept veterans to the lively junior sister, the dependable and suave Ning Xiao, and Shu Wan playing her character’s descent into villainy to perfection, generated endless discussions every day.

Now, as the ending approached, Shu Wan’s increasingly dark portrayal almost singlehandedly obliterated the entire protagonist group of the drama, to the extent of intending to leave none of them behind.

The hot searches related to her were constantly topping the charts. Shu Wan needed only to glance at her phone to see herself.

Many people clipped her scenes from the series; Shu Wan looked and admitted they were indeed hate-provoking.

"You performed very well."

Fu Siyu had finished his meal and was standing next to Shu Wan, eyes falling on her phone screen. He had obviously just watched her performance clip.

"Thank you."

"How are things going with the pharmaceutical factory?"

Without Shu Wan needing to speak, Fu Siyu seemed to know what was on her mind and directly inquired about the pharmaceutical factory.

Shu Wan took the documents out of her bag, "I actually have something I want to discuss with you."

The moon shifted, and shooting stars traced across the sky, reflecting the twinkling streetlights.

In the spacious office, Shu Wan and Fu Siyu sat opposite each other, seriously discussing the specifics of establishing the pharmaceutical factory.

Fu Siyu was experienced, and no matter how many questions Shu Wan had, she could find the answers with him.

It wasn’t just work they talked about. Between discussions, Fu Siyu would ask Shu Wan about the meaning of the viral video she sent him.

After finishing their work talk, it was already very late. And just then, they started discussing a viral video Shu Wan posted during the day, shot with the streetlights as a backdrop.

Fu Siyu then suggested, "If you want to go now, I can accompany you."

Shu Wan’s heart stirred, "Really?"

Usually, at this time, Shu Wan would already be sleepy.

But today, perhaps because the chat with Fu Siyu had been so passionate, the excitement of finding a kindred spirit hadn’t faded, leaving her with no desire to sleep.

"Of course. Let’s go."

"Okay."
