In the inner house of the Shen family, Rose's phone vibrated.

The name flashing on the screen made her pause. Su Zibai?

She hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, Su Zibai's urgent voice came from the other end: "Rose!"

Rose frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

"Something...something..." Su Zibai's voice was tense and his palms were sweaty. He found that it was the first time he was so nervous.

He cleared his throat and tried to steady his voice: "Can you come out for a moment? I have something... to tell you in person."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

Rose would not be so self-indulgent as to think that Su Zibai was going to say anything special. He always handled his business impartially.

"Okay." She agreed briefly.

Su Zibai breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you must come out, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately sent a location.

A cafe three kilometers away from the Shen family manor.

Hidden, quiet, suitable for...confession.

......

On this side, Rose had just hung up the phone when the door was pushed open.

Mr. Shen walked in with a cane, staring at her sharply: "Shen Ci, are you going to see him again?"

Shen Ci nodded, her tone calm: "Well, he has something to ask me."

The old man sneered: "Besides asking you to complete tasks and work for him, what else can he do?"

He banged his cane hard and said angrily, "I was wondering why he came to the Shen family's doorstep for no reason. It turns out he needs you again!"

"This Su Zibai must have known your identity and that our Shen family is not an ordinary family. Now he has remembered your role..."

Shen Ci frowned, his voice slightly cold: "Grandpa, he is not that kind of person!"

The old man narrowed his eyes. "He's not that kind of person? Then what kind of person is he? I heard that his injury has long been healed. If he really wanted to thank you, he would have come a long time ago! Isn't it because he knows your identity and background?"

He pointed at her with dismay:

"Shen Ci, please clear your mind! He's not attracted to you, he's attracted to your grandfather, me, and the benefits that our Shen family can bring to him!"

Shen Ci clenched her fingers and took a deep breath: "Grandpa, if you don't believe me, forget it. I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm going out for a while!"

After saying that, she turned around and left.

"You are not allowed to go out!" The old man shouted sternly, "You are not allowed to see him!"

Shen Ci looked at the strict guard at the door, turned around and frowned: "Grandpa, don't force me..."

The old man snorted coldly and interrupted, "You're about to marry that boy from the Tang family. If you go to see Su Zibai now, what will happen if the news gets out?"

Shen Ci pursed her lips: "I won't do anything, I'll just go see him and come back soon, Grandpa, I always keep my word, and I won't change what I promised you."

The old man stared at her for a few seconds: "Really?"

"real."

The old man sighed as if compromising: "Okay, then this is the last time. After this one time, you are not allowed to see me again."

He shook his head helplessly: "There's really nothing I can do about you."

Shen Ci clenched her hands and whispered, "Thank you, Grandpa."

The old man suddenly became serious: "Don't thank me too early!"

"I'm warning you. This time, when you meet him, you'll have a chance to say everything you need to say. From now on, your relationship is over. You won't have any further contact in this life. Do you understand?"

Shen Ci lowered her head, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Yeah, I see."

The old man watched her leave and stomped his cane in anger: "You, if you fall in love again, I'll punish you by sending you to the mountains to dig wild vegetables!"

......

Outside the cafe, a row of military vehicles were parked neatly.

Su Zibai was sitting there restlessly until he saw the black military vehicle approaching, and his breath instantly held.

The car door opened and Rose got out of the car.

She was not wearing combat uniform today, but a dark green cheongsam that outlined her slender waist. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore a hairpin, which made her look more gentle and feminine than usual.

Su Zibai's breath was taken aback by what he saw.

However, the next second, his eyes fell on Dicka who was following closely behind him, and his brows frowned instantly.

Why didn't I notice before that she was surrounded by men?

Especially Di Ka, who is almost inseparable from her!

The two of them stood together, with similar heights and matching temperaments. At first glance, they looked like...

Su Zibai clenched his fists.

At the entrance of the cafe, Dika caught a glimpse of Su Zibai's stern face and whispered unhappily to Rose's ear:

"Boss, look at him. If he's so annoyed by you, why would he want to see you? He doesn't even have a good face. I should have known not to come to see him."

When Su Zibai saw the two people whispering to each other, his expression became even uglier.

Dicka snorted coldly and continued to complain in a low voice:

"Humph, now you're the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Things are different now. How dare he still give you a bad face? What kind of national treasure do you think he is?"

Rose suddenly turned around and looked at Dicka coldly: "Get out."

Dika was stunned: "Boss, I..."

Rose's voice left no room for doubt. "Get out of here! You are not allowed to come in without my permission."

Dicka opened his mouth and finally responded muffledly: "Yes..."

As he turned to leave, he turned his head and glared at Su Zibai, feeling very unwilling.

Anyway, Rose no longer works for Su Zibai, so there is naturally no need for him to be polite to her!

Seeing Di Ka leave, Su Zibai's brows finally relaxed and his mood improved a little.

When Rose came over, he stood up and pulled out a chair for her: "Sit down."

This action made Rose stunned for a moment.

Su Zibai actually pulled a chair for her?

This is the first time.

But she quickly got over that momentary trance.

She didn't come to reminisce or express her feelings, but to draw a clear line.

So, her tone became distant: "Mr. Su."

Su Zibai didn't like this name and frowned slightly: "Rose..."

"Mr. Su, I'm not Rose." She interrupted him, her voice calm, "I'm Shen Ci."

Su Zibai was stunned.

Shen Ci looked him straight in the eyes and continued, "I believe you already know my identity. There is nothing to hide. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Shen Ci, the same as in porcelain."

Su Zibai was silent for a moment: "Okay, Shen Ci."

Shen Ci frowned slightly and went straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Su Zibai was choked by her straightforward question and didn't know how to start for a moment.

He pursed his lips and finally asked an irrelevant question: "Um...how is your injury?"

Shen Ci said calmly: "It's healed now, they are just minor injuries."

Su Zibai frowned: "Minor injury? But I clearly saw that you were shot..."

Shen Ci's expression remained unchanged: "It's not fatal. No vital parts were hit. I'll be fine after lying down for a few days."

She spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if the gunshot wound that day was just a minor scrape.
