The position in the marketing department was just a leisurely job for Lin Fan, so he simply spent the whole day in Su Yanyu's office.

He took naps, glanced at the beauties, and played card games on his phone—quite a relaxed day. As for lunch, he ate in the office with Su Yanyu!

After work in the afternoon, Su Funong called again to inform Su Yanyu of the address for dinner, so Lin Fan drove Su Yanyu there!

The dining place was in a countryside villa. Rich people always like to indulge in such elegance, going so far just to have a meal.

However, the villa was indeed luxurious, flanked by mountains and water, entirely wooden, reminiscent of an ancient palace in a noble family.

Red lanterns hung at the entrance, and the illuminated houses stood out conspicuously in the dark night!

As Lin Fan parked the car, a security guard stepped forward to personally open the car door for Su Yanyu. When they reached the villa entrance, a waitress in a cheongsam guided them inside, respectfully leading the way!

Before long, Lin Fan and Su Yanyu arrived at the room Su Funong had reserved.

Pushing the door open, the room's interior was lavishly decorated, with the round table already laden with sumptuous delicacies, a feast for the senses.

There were even several rare exotic beasts steamed to perfection—the privilege of the wealthy, to eat whatever they desire!

What surprised Lin Fan, however, was that besides Su Funong, his secretary, Dong Caiyun, was also there. The two were whispering and laughing, but upon seeing Lin Fan and Su Yanyu, they quickly distanced themselves in panic.

Dong Caiyun appeared to be about thirty-five but was enticingly attractive and curvaceous. Although not the kind to bring down a nation, she was a top-notch beauty—impressive for a man widowed for many years to have such an alluring secretary…

"Something fishy is going on!" Lin Fan thought to himself.

Su Funong hurriedly stood up with a smile, "Mr. Lin, please take a seat, and Yanyu, you too."

Lin Fan shrugged, pulled out a chair for Su Yanyu, and then lazily sat down next to her.

What intrigued Lin Fan was how Dong Caiyun kept sneakily glancing at him. If Lin Fan hadn't already noticed something fishy between her and Su Funong, he might have thought she had a crush on him—giving off a strange vibe.

"Mr. Lin, would you prefer white or red wine?" Su Funong asked politely, pointing to the liquors on the table.

"I'll pass; I still need to drive back later. Just filling my stomach is enough," Lin Fan replied straightforwardly.

"Quite right, then I'll drink a bit myself, and let Yanyu and Caiyun have some juice," Su Funong said, opening a bottle of juice.

"Let me pour for Yanyu."

Dong Caiyun suddenly stood up and directly snatched the juice from Su Funong's hand, who surprisingly didn't protest but instead looked at Dong Caiyun's charming figure with a satisfied smile.

However, hearing Dong Caiyun's words, Su Yanyu's eyebrows twitched. With her intelligence, it was obvious she could see the fishiness between her father and Dong Caiyun, but she was too lazy to expose it.

"Address me as the President." Su Yanyu asserted sternly.

Squeak~

Dong Caiyun froze for a moment, then appeared awkward.

"Yanyu, is this how you talk to your Aunt Yun?" Su Funong chastised unhappily.

"Chairman, please don't be angry. The relationship between President Su and me has always been purely hierarchical." Dong Caiyun hurriedly explained, looking distressed.

Su Funong anxiously explained, "Caiyun, don't take it personally. This girl's been spoiled by me since childhood."

Dong Caiyun smiled without saying a word, but what intrigued Lin Fan was that her gaze wasn't directed at Su Funong, nor at Su Yanyu, yet she kept stealing glances at him, her eyes bright.

Regarding Dong Caiyun, Lin Fan always felt there was something off about her but couldn't pinpoint exactly what!

Afterwards, Dong Caiyun poured juice for Su Yanyu and Lin Fan, then poured a glass of white wine for Su Funong!

Su Funong raised his glass and laughed heartily, "It's been a long time since I've dined with family. Mr. Lin, you're not an outsider. If you don't mind, we're like family. Come, let's drink to our family gathering."

"She's considered family too?" Su Yanyu suddenly pointed at Dong Caiyun and asked.

Upon hearing this, Su Funong's mouth moved a few times, unsure of how to respond, and he awkwardly laughed, "Come on, let's drink first, talk later."

Saying this, Su Funong tilted his head back and downed his wine.

Su Yanyu took a slow sip, then put down her glass, sitting up straight and looking at Su Funong, waiting for his answer.

Su Funong smiled bitterly, knowing that with Su Yanyu's personality, if he didn't give her an explanation today, she wouldn't let it go.

Thus, Su Funong smiled and said, "I called Yanyu here today to announce something more important..."

Su Yanyu suddenly interrupted him, "Are you going to be with her?"

Squeak!

Both Su Funong and Dong Caiyun were taken aback, but remembering Su Yanyu's genius-like intellect, they understood. With Su Yanyu's intelligence, how could she not figure out the two's relationship?

Su Funong poured himself another glass of wine and drank it in one go, smiling bitterly, "Yanyu, dad originally wanted to tell you earlier, but you've been so busy, and the timing wasn't right, so dad kept delaying it until now."

"So, to you, the timing is right now? The Yanyu Group is still on the rise. If word gets out about you being with your secretary, it could tarnish our group's reputation and even impact our stock market." Su Yanyu countered sharply.

"It's too late for that; we've already gotten a marriage certificate," Su Funong sighed.

Bam~

A dull thud echoed as Su Yanyu suddenly slapped the table and stood up, her eyes showing traces of sadness, her tone icy, "Dad, how could you not discuss such a major matter with me in advance? Do you not care about me as your daughter?"

"Yanyu, don't get excited, I..."

Su Funong tried to explain, but was abruptly cut off by Su Yanyu, "When mom passed away, he promised he wouldn't turn to another woman in this lifetime. But now? Are you being fair to mom?"

Su Funong looked ashamed, his voice muffled, "I know I've wronged your mom, but she left early. I've been single for so many years, and I long for someone to be with me, Yanyu. I hope you can understand dad's pain."

"I can understand, but I won't allow you to be with your secretary. She doesn't belong at the Su Family's threshold and will harm the group's image," Su Yanyu declared domineeringly.

"Su Yanyu, is this how you speak? Is this how I taught you to address your elders?" Su Funong also slammed the table and shouted angrily!

Lin Fan, arms crossed, coldly watched Su Funong and Dong Caiyun, not taking Su Funong's anger to heart. This woman was so strong-willed, siding with truth over relationships, even towards her father!
