Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Si had no choice but to pick her up and carry her directly into the elevator lobby.

As the elevator doors closed, blocking out the glaring fluorescent lights outside, Mei Shu felt surprised. “Why did you agree so readily this time?”

Lu Si looked helpless. “Because if I didn’t carry you away now, those media reporters would have surrounded you outside.”

Mei Shu smiled and caressed his face. “You’re becoming more like my personal butler.”

Lu Si nodded in agreement. “After all, I’m your future family member.”

Mei Shu’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. “I know what you’re worried about, but let me tell you, everything is within my expectations.” “I know you can handle this.” Lu Si found that the longer he spent with Mei Shu, the more they cooperated seamlessly. Sometimes, just by exchanging a glance, they could understand each other’s thoughts.

Like now, although Lu Si didn’t know the details of Mei Shu’s plan for tonight, he knew what he needed to do to protect Mei Shu to the fullest extent possible without disrupting her plan.

In the makeup room.

Tang Mei nervously patted her chest and took a deep breath. “Fortunately, we timed everything perfectly. I had never been so precise with time before.”

Lin He smiled and handed her a glass of water. “You did a great job. No wonder Shu’er trusts you so much.”

“It’s not that. I just follow orders. The real talent belongs to Miss Lin and our President Mei!” Tang Mei grinned and drank the water in one gulp, feeling quite heroic.

Jiang He couldn’t help but tease her. “I saw Secretary Tang’s hands trembling as she held her phone to check the time!”

Tang Mei glared at him fiercely. “Today is a big deal for the reputation of our Mei Corporation. Is it abnormal for me to be nervous?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Jiang He was afraid of annoying her and quickly surrendered, raising both hands. “My mistake. Secretary Tang is capable and beautiful, and Jiang Hai and I are not even in the same league with you.”

Tang Mei blushed and scolded him, “You’re too slick with your words! Jiang Hai is much better than you, steady and reliable. I’ll learn more from Big Brother Jiang Hai in the future!”

“Hey, why do you only call him ‘big brother’?” Jiang He immediately protested. “How about calling me ‘big brother,’ and I’ll teach you too?”

Tang Mei looked disdainful. “I don’t want to learn from you!”

The two of them started arguing again.

Lin He, holding a teacup, watched with a smile, and the sense of tension in her heart gradually dissipated.

Actually, when it came to being nervous, she was no less than Tang Mei.

From the moment the lights went out, her heart had been in her throat. But she knew that tonight, the stakes were high for her, and it wasn’t just about herself; she also bore the reputation of the entire Mei Corporation.

Mei Shu was willing to entrust her entire fortune to cooperate with her actions, so she had to succeed.

Fortunately, this performance was perfect. With a rare score of ninety-nine points, she won first place in this competition by a wide margin, finally giving herself and Mei Shu a satisfactory result.

Seeing her seemingly relieved expression, Jiang Hai walked over and whispered comfortingly, “You don’t need to bear such a heavy burden. Whether your performance tonight is successful or not, Miss Mei will have a way to deal with it. But congratulations on your great success.”

Lin He was slightly taken aback.

She inexplicably sensed Mei Shu’s unwavering trust in Jiang Hai’s words.

But wasn’t Jiang Hai Lu Si’s subordinate?

Lin He met Jiang Hai’s confused eyes and quickly regained her composure. “Thankyou. Tonight’s success owes a lot to you and Jiang He.”

Jiang Hai smiled and shook his head. “I finally understand why Miss Mei is so close to you. You and her are really alike in some ways.”

“Is that so?” Lin He was infected by his smile and couldn’t help but smile too. “Shu’er is a very good girl. I still have a long way to go compared to her. With Master Si by her side, her future should be far from limited.”

Hearing this, Jiang Hai’s gaze dimmed, neither confirming nor denying. “Miss Mei and Master Si are indeed a perfect match.”

Meanwhile, the arguing voices of Tang Mei and Jiang He continued unabated.

The door of the makeup room was pushed open with a “click” from outside.

Mei Shu, being carried in by Lu Si, was just in time to see the two of them arguing fiercely with flushed faces. A smile crept into her eyes. “What are you talking about?”

“Master Si!”

“President Mei!”

The two of them quieted down simultaneously, and the tense atmosphere from earlier dissipated.

Jiang Hai’s gaze lingered on the two arms Lu Si wrapped around Mei Shu’s neck for a long time before he lowered his head and said quietly, “Master Si, Miss Mei.”

Lu Si ignored him, his face impassive, as he sat down on the sofa with Mei Shu in his arms. He carefully inspected the bandages and plaster on her legs, only relaxing when he confirmed that they weren’t loose and there was no bleeding. Seeing how loving they looked, Lin He couldn’t help but envy them. “If only I had been more discerning in choosing a boyfriend back then, maybe I would be as happy and accomplished as you both are now.”

Mei Shu playfully pouted. “Sister Lin, you won first place this time. You’re now a national-level dancer. With so many achievements, aren’t you happier and more fulfilled than being with a man?”
