Su Wen entered their room with a briefcase. What are you looking at? Her gaze made his scalp tingle.

Zhou Hengyang shook his head and handed the household register to Su Wen.

Second and Third Uncles will instigate people to look for you after I leave. When the time comes, just take this out. Su Xuewe and Su Xueqiang had not made things difficult, probably because he was still around. That would change as soon as he left.

It could not be helped; he could not stay forever while still having things to do.

I know Second and Third Uncles will come looking for trouble, but what use will the household register have on them? Su Wen accepted the register and handed Zhou Hengyang the briefcase. Here, I made this. You can use it for work. It'll be useful when you begin discussions with partners or investors.

Su Wen's mouth twitched. She knew Zhou Hengyang could use it now with the work he was dealing with, but it would be up to him whether he was willing to give up on the charade. Before he took the initiative to come clean, Su Wen would pretend she was none the wiser.

Raising the issue on her end would cause unnecessary trouble.

I know what a briefcase is used for.

Zhou Hengyang had long discovered that Su Wen had made a briefcase. He was secretly happy that Su Wen had made it for him. Warmth seeped into his cold, aloof mask as he received the briefcase. Is this the first briefcase you've ever made?

Yes, it is.

Zhou Hengyang smirked, pleased by Su Wen's confirmation. Not bad; I like it.

I'm glad. Su Wen was very confident in her bag-making skills. Whether it was the material, the style, or practicality, Su Wen prided herself on not settling for anything but the best. As she spoke, she eyed the briefcase with a glimmer in her eye. Take it. Try using your left hand yes, just like that. It looks amazing!

With her eyes firmly trained on the briefcase in Zhou Hengyang's hand, Su Wen could not help but wonder whether the person holding it deserved her praise or the unparalleled artistry displayed by her workmanship.

Don't make briefcases for men anymore, Zhou Hengyang said casually, which seemed at odds with how serious he looked.

'Why?

Because I won't have you making briefcases for other men. Zhou Hengyang shot her a stern look. You can only make them for me, understood?

Yes, yes. Don't worry. Su Wen was not about to forgo her original intention of latching onto Zhou Hengyang's thigh. She would not upset him over such a small matter.

Now, if only he would hurry off already! If he did not leave, how was she supposed to further her plans?!

Her thoughts wandered to Sun Yunyun's despicable form. To think she had had the nerve to say what she did. Although she had not forbidden Sun Yunyun from speaking with Hengyang, her attempts at intimacy rubbed her the wrong way, painting a target on her back.

I'm leaving now. Zhou Hengyang stowed the briefcase but did not immediately leave. At the door, he turned to Su Wen, his expression complicated. After a long while, he said, Write to me if you need anything. Also, where did you keep the photo?

Photo? What photo? Su Wen was confused by his sudden question. Only as

Zhou Hengyang's expression grew icy did she realize what he was referring to. Smiling, she said, I keep it in my purse.

That had been one of her better ideas. The first thing she did when she made the purse was to put a certain someone's eye-catching photo in it. Not even money went in before that photo. She had thought he cut quite the striking figure; hence, she had kept it. Who knew he would demand to know what she did with it?

He was too petty! Too insecure!

Good. Zhou Hengyang's expression remained cold and solemn, but his eyes betrayed his relief. However, it was not there for long since he quickly squashed that feeling and spun around, leaving without looking back.

Su Wen bounced on the balls of her feet, waving enthusiastically. Take care! Haha. She was finally free!
