Chu Min's face changed. She obviously didn't expect me to ask her back. She crossed her arms with an unhappy look on her face: "Are you showing off to me?"

I shook my head and calmly replied, "It's because I never cause him any trouble, let alone make him make difficult decisions."

Chu Min froze, staring at me in disbelief. "Don't tell me you're with him just for the sake of love. I don't believe you're not attracted to his status."

I smiled calmly and said, "If I say yes, you won't believe me, but in fact, I only talk about love and romance with him and never ask for any benefits from him."

"I don't believe it." Chu Min said with a shrewd and snobbish expression: "Which woman staying with him wouldn't want him to promise her some favors? He only needs to move his fingers, and even if you don't have a degree, you can climb to a height that others can't even dream of."

I nodded: "You are right, but what I want is not what he can give me, but what he is willing to give me."

Chu Min widened her eyes and looked at me with a completely new perspective: "You never take the initiative to ask him for anything?"

"Just because I don't ask him for it doesn't mean he won't give it to me. Miss Chu, I'm sorry, I can't help you. I don't want him to hate me or bother me. I don't even want to get involved in his work. This is not something I should interfere with." After saying that, I stood up and said, "I'll leave first."

"Yin Jingjing." Chu Min suddenly called my name, her tone filled with anger: "You work with my brother, and you don't even give me this face?"

I turned around with an expression of admiration and help: "I don't want him to hate me. Sorry, a sensible woman will not interfere with a man's decision."

"Believe it or not, I'll let my brother fire you." Chu Min was really irritated by me.

I said calmly: "If Chu Rui really makes this decision, I will leave immediately."

What I learned from Chu Rui was business experience, but it doesn't mean that I will rely on him for the rest of my life.

I walked out of Chu Min's sight gracefully and calmly.

I just stopped a car and received a call from Chu Rui.

"No way, Jingjing, you actually refused to act as a matchmaker. Isn't it just a matter of arranging a meal? For you, it can be solved with just one sentence." Chu Rui said to me in a lost tone.

"Chu Rui, you may have overestimated me. The relationship between Su Beicheng and I is like that of a master and a pet. Do you think a pet can influence the master's decisions and ideas?" I deliberately put myself in an insignificant position, so that Chu Rui would have no chance to embarrass me.

Chu Rui seemed surprised and angry: "Jingjing, since he treats you as a pet, why do you still want to be with him?"

I wanted to laugh in my heart. How Su Beicheng really treated me was hard for outsiders to see except for us.

The main reason I say this is that I don’t want to help.

"Chu Rui, no matter what he is like, he is always my benefactor, and I will not say anything bad about my benefactor." I said seriously.

Chu Rui was a little annoyed and said frustratedly: "Jingjing, wait for me, one day, I will save you from him."

His childish promise was just funny to me.

"Thank you, Chu Rui, but I couldn't help your sister with this favor, and I feel guilty about it." I said it with a cunning look, pretending to be disappointed.

"It's okay. If my sister doesn't have this ability, she wouldn't be my sister." Chu Rui didn't blame me.

This incident passed without any major incident. Su Beicheng began to appear in various occasions. Sometimes I could see him on the news and TV. He was really young, promising and full of vigor.

I saw a lot of comments about him online, all of which were positive.

Many netizens speculated about his background, but Su Beicheng's background has always been mysterious and not something that ordinary people can find out.

Even though I have been with him for such a long time, I have never asked him about anything specific.

I thought that Su Beicheng and I could simply enjoy love and romance. In fact, Su Beicheng is not stingy. When I am with him, he will give me things even if I don’t ask for them.

But something happened that caught me off guard.

That night, I prepared a table of meals at home as usual, because Su Beicheng told me before he left in the morning that he had too many social engagements outside recently and didn't like the food outside, so he wanted to test my cooking skills. Of course, I was willing to prepare a table of home-cooked meals for him.

I was still wearing my apron when I heard a knock on the door.

I walked over and opened the door. Su Beicheng was standing outside, but his expression was not as gentle as usual.

He seemed to walk in with something very heavy on his mind.

"Beicheng, the food is ready, eat it while it's hot." I whispered to him, turned around and went into the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

Su Beicheng sat on the sofa and suddenly said, "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to the service hall to do business under my name?"

My hand holding the chopsticks froze for a moment, and I turned back to look at him: "I... don't have any."

Su Beicheng looked up at me and said, "But when the director of the business hall came to greet me today, he mentioned your name."

My mind exploded. Could it be Chu Rui?

He said he had a document that had been delayed and was making him anxious and irritated. Could it be...

Thinking of this, I immediately walked up to Su Beicheng, squatted beside him and asked, "I'm sorry, there won't be a next time."

"You didn't tell me in advance. This matter bothers me a lot, do you know?" Su Beicheng's face was full of the majesty of a superior.

My eyes flickered, I lowered my head, and apologized softly: "I'm sorry, next time I won't use your reputation to do things."

Seeing that I admitted my mistake with such a good attitude, Su Beicheng softened his tone. "I have always kept you hidden. I am afraid that too many people will come to me through you to do things. I don't mind the trouble, but once someone knows about your relationship with me, your life will be disturbed, understand?"

I was stunned and stared at him.

"They will try every possible means to make you accept their generous gifts. By the time you realize it, you've already taken something you shouldn't have. If the people above you investigate me, you'll be dragged into this too. Jingjing, it's not that I don't want to help, I'm just worried that you won't be able to resist the temptation and commit a crime." Su Beicheng told me his explanation. I was shocked and the blood in my body froze.

Seeing that I looked frightened, Su Beicheng pinched my chin and kissed my lips: "Okay, this won't happen again."

I nodded. Although I felt a little nervous, I also felt that what Su Beicheng said made sense. Many people wanted to use his connections, but they had no place to give gifts.

If I make my relationship with him public, I will be seen as a potential vulnerability by others, and I, who have no experience, might really be trapped in it passively.

"Beicheng, I have to ask you to be honest. Chu Min wants to treat you to a meal through me." I raised my head and said softly.

"Chu Min?" Su Beicheng narrowed his eyes.
