Chapter 371
A corner of Dao Txu's mouth twitched . "This is no time to be talking about work! Work can wait! Woman can't!"
He scratched his head, cried painfully . "You've been with him for many years and you've not helped him with his social skill at all!" Dao Txu went theatrical mode . "There, within an arm reach, is the beauty of your heart . What kind of man in the right man mind would be thinking about work? You are wasting his precious skirt chasing time talking about work!"
Long Kue haven't seen Dao Txu this passionate before . "You . . . have you think about acting for a career?"
Dao Txu huffed conceitedly . "Hmph . . . Ahh . . . I'm already a star, even when I didn't go into the field . Every time when I get send to do investigation work, women flocks to me like seagulls flocking for hotdogs on shore . " He shook his head with a pity expression for those women .
"I preferred to be a man full of mysteries, who comes and goes like the wind, leaving a faint touch of happiness imprinted in the women that came across me . "
Long Kue's was out of words for the idiot who now was living in his own head .
Suddenly Long Kue's phone that was next to the desktop buzzed . The screen light up and the name "Prince Hue Chi" appeared on the screen .
It caught the attention of both Long Kue and Dao Txu . Instantly they both reach for the phone . Dao Txu was more physically fit than Long Kue and reached the phone first .
Long Kue shouted, "Bastard, that's my phone!"

He hit the notification and saw the short message . "Revised the plan to extend her stay during the duration of the project . Any method is fine . "
Dao Txu tossed the phone back . "It's all about work . At least this was related to her . "
"Of course, a man who only thinks of skirt chasing wouldn't understand . " Long Kue replied .
Then Dao Txu laughed devilishly . "He wanted her to stay . . hehehe . . hahaha . . . "
PengXu was engrossed with the new series of books that he was oblivious to what was happening around .

Since that day, the accident on the road, she was expecting another ambush attack, but nothing had happened . Su Na sometimes wondered if it was Yu Sha's doing? But that beast friend of hers had been in Aires . Her skills are not keen enough to detect people's presence . "Xander, tell me honestly . "
"Yes . " He replied as he took a glance at the rearview mirror .
"Are there people following us?"
"Every now and then, I sense a presence . But when I go after it, the presence disappeared . If there is, then I'm not sure who it was . "
A flash appeared in her eyes, but she didn't say anything . Shortly later, they arrived upon a large open land on the outskirt of the city . Industrialization had spread outward of the city .

Cao Huo shooed her hand for Beyan to go . "Continue to secretly tail her for now . "
Beyan nodded . "They probably figure, by this point, that Su Na had a powerful backing . They won't act rashly . " He walked out of the office thinking, his boss's family dynamic is quite weird . Su Na was a friend to Yu Sha, yet his boss showed so much compassion towards and even meddle in the affairs .

It was evening when Su Na came back home . Her mother and grandma were sitting on the couch and watching the news of the elections that had started to gear up .
"Baby . Have you eaten?" Du Xi asked when she saw her daughter came through the door . "I made your favorite fall of the bone smoked ribs today . "
"Thanks mom . I've snacked but haven't had dinner . I'll have some . "
Su Na dropped her stuff in her office . When she came back out, her mother had warmed up the food for her .
"Do you have more projects?" Du Xi asked . Su Na tended to be in and out a lot and often times come home late . And still then, she would be eating and working at the same time .
Su Na took out her laptop and set it in front of her as usual . She would eat and work at the same time .
Du Xi sigh . Could it be because the shop was closed that her baby was working extra hard? They did not have financial hardship . Why was her baby working so hard?
Couldn't bear to see her daughter's eyes glaring at the computer and not the food, Du Xi scooped a spoon and brought it to Su Na's lips . "Should I feed you?"
Su Na stiffened briefly since she wasn't expecting her mother's action, but she soon accepted the spoil and bit down on the food before shaking her head . "No . "
"Can't you eat first before working?"
Su Na looked at her mother and then grandmother . "Mom, grandma, I'm expanding my company and will bid on the land next week . Sorry, I've been drifting away with work . There's a chance that we might move closer if everything goes as planned . "
Du Xi and her mother were surprised . No wonder she had been in and out a lot lately, and even when she was home late in the evening, she was constantly working .
Du Xi spoke . "Baby . . . mom is very proud of you . But your well-being takes precedent over everything . Are you sure this is the path you want?" Her baby was still so young and she was already thinking about the future, long term .
