Su Minghua nodded and silently started brewing tea again.
Chen Ziming knew that the next words should come from him, so he put away his smile and became serious.
"I understand Director Su's meaning. Please rest assured, I will discuss this matter with my family when I get back and put the engagement on the agenda as soon as possible."
Su Minghua then showed a smile, "Although I proposed this matter, it may seem undignified, but for Yueyue's reputation, I can't help but consider it."
He lowered his voice further, "As for Yueyue, don't mention me to her, or she'll get angry with me again."
Speaking of this, he revealed a helpless and doting smile, as if he had no choice with his precious daughter.
"Don't worry," Chen Ziming smiled faintly.
When they finished dinner and left, Chen Ziming happened to encounter several young people from the department in the courtyard.
Among them were those who had discussed him and Su Yue's relationship in the chat group.
They greeted him enthusiastically and also caught up with Su Yue, leaving her somewhat bewildered.
After all, she rarely interacted with these young men and didn't know her popularity among them.
"This is our collective White Moonlight; you must treat her well." One of them put an arm around Chen Ziming and whispered, feigning sadness.
Chen Ziming frowned, knowing that they were merely sent by their parents to gather information, so he brushed them off.
He quickly led Su Yue away.
"Our Yueyue is truly charming." As the car stopped at an intersection waiting for the red light, he extended his finger and gently hooked the nose of the girl who was lost in thought.
"Hmm?" Su Yue was still recalling what had just happened, her face still showing confusion.
But when she saw the smile on his face, she quickly came back to her senses.
"It's not that I'm charming; it's clearly Officer Chen who is too dazzling. Don't think I didn't notice, but when we returned today, there were quite a few eyes secretly observing you in the neighborhood."
She retorted with a laugh.
"Not bad, you're quite perceptive," Chen Ziming actually showed a surprised smile.
Su Yue was speechless but also harbored doubts.
So, she couldn't help but ask, "What did Su Minghua talk to you about in private during these two meetings?"
If she said she wasn't suspicious at all, that would be a lie.
According to Su Yue's original thought, because Su Minghua was wary of Chen Ziming, he would appear excessively eager.
But she vaguely felt that this eagerness was a bit abnormal, as if it carried some ulterior motive.
What ulterior motive could it be?
No matter how wild her imagination was, she couldn't guess that Su Minghua would dare to think of using the Chen family's influence.
So she was baffled.
Hearing the question, Chen Ziming's body paused.
Coincidentally, the light turned green. He stepped on the accelerator and replied casually:
"Nothing much, just asking me to take good care of you, indulge you, and yield to you."
He had no intention of telling Su Yue his plan for now, because it would inevitably mean exposing the scar she had been trying to hide.
But Su Minghua had to be taught a lesson. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět

Su Yue's flight was scheduled for ten o'clock on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
To her surprise, Jin Yan and Ren Siyuan came to see them off.
On the way, the two teased Chen Ziming quite a bit, complaining that he prioritized his girlfriend over his friends and only took her out during holidays without gathering with them.
He retorted, "You lack charm yourselves, yet you dare to blame me here?"
Ren Siyuan glanced back from the passenger seat with a speechless expression, then turned to Su Yue.
"Little Yueyue, does he usually treat you like this? How can you stand his sharp tongue?"
Su Yue, who had been suppressing a laugh, instinctively replied when asked, "If I can't stand it, I'll just look at him more..."
If he's handsome, I'll just tolerate it...
She suddenly stopped, not saying the latter part.
But it was clear that this remark had caught the attention of the men in the car.
Jin Yan was the first to speak to Ren Siyuan, "I tell you, you're the one who's mean. They're a couple, and she still speaks up for you?"
Su Yue lowered her head, her cheeks flushing slightly, pretending not to hear.
On the other hand, the man beside her seemed to be in a good mood. He finally put down his phone, which he had been busy with, reached out to pull her into his arms, and showed a gratified smile.
Ren Siyuan clicked his tongue a few times.
Upon arriving at the airport, first-class reception staff were waiting at the VIP channel entrance to greet them.
Su Yue looked at the planes taking off in the sky, her mood suddenly soaring.
A big dream in life—
To watch the snow with the person she liked.
It was about to come true! \(≧▽≦)/～
