CHAPTER 538: CHAPTER 538: HE’S SO FAR AWAY FROM HER, AND HE’S STILL IN HER WAY?

The Lotus Pond nowadays no longer displayed lotuses; Housekeeper Wu had instructed someone to plant a batch of lush hydroponic plants inside.

Su Ge did not know the name of these hydroponic plants, but their scent was quite pleasant.

Nestled on the sofa beside the water pond, she could smell a very pleasant fragrance as soon as the wind blew.

Her mood immediately relaxed quite a bit; Su Ge quietly sat on the sofa, hugging a cushion in her arms, silently admiring the lush greenery.

After a while, she heard distinctly heavy footsteps approaching from behind.

As if she had expected it, she paid no attention whatsoever, but adjusted her position on the sofa and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

It wasn’t long before the man’s presence drew near, as if he had sat down beside her, not too far away, but neither right next to her.

After sitting down, there was no movement at all; the sound of the wind could be clearly heard as it blew across the surface of the pond.

Su Ge was secretly gritting her teeth, wondering how long the man could quietly keep this standoff with her.

Who would have known that half an hour had passed, and there was still not a single movement from the man.

Although she had her eyes closed, she could distinctly feel the man’s breath.

The man had not left; he was just sitting here.

And he was sitting here without uttering a single word.

Finally, Su Ge couldn’t take it anymore, and with a swipe, she opened her eyes, only to see the man sitting on the sofa diagonally across from her, his gaze faintly resting on the pool surface, his demeanor seeming somewhat content.

This person...

So this person actually came here to enjoy himself?

Su Ge clenched her teeth even tighter, threw down the cushion in her hand, jumped off the sofa, and quickly left the water pond.

The moment she turned to leave, the man’s gaze followed her.

His brows were slightly knitted, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Was she that much of a hindrance to him from such a distance?

After leaving the water pond, Su Ge pondered her next destination.

After a moment of thought, she headed directly towards the Rose Garden.

Halfway there, she just happened to bump into Ling Feng.

She glanced at him and then, as if she hadn’t seen him, strode quickly away.

"Hey," Ling Feng suddenly called out to her, catching up with her in a few steps, "Do you know where Fourth Master is?"

"First of all, my name is not ’hey’, and secondly, who is Fourth Master? What does his whereabouts have to do with me?"

With those words and a touch of displeasure, she pushed past Ling Feng and strode away.

Ling Feng, a man of more than 1.8 meters, was nearly knocked over by her push.

It took him a moment to stabilize himself.

Staring dumbfounded in the direction the woman had walked away.

What’s with this woman?

Was she on a rampage or something?

Wasn’t she with Fourth Master?

Ling Feng instinctively glanced in the direction Su Ge had come from.

Just then, he saw the person he was looking for.

The prestigious man, dressed in light casual clothes, approached briskly, his expression as cold as ever, perhaps even colder today.

"Fourth Master," Ling Feng hurried forward to greet him.

As soon as Chu Yihan saw him, his face darkened even more, "I have more urgent matters to attend to right now, work-related issues can wait."

With just one sentence, Ling Feng was rendered speechless.

He looked at the man with confusion.

More urgent matters?

What could be more important to Fourth Master... that even he didn’t know?

Chu Yihan didn’t bother to engage in idle talk, directly pushing past Ling Feng, who was blocking the path, and strode in the direction where the little woman had vanished.

Ling Feng nearly lost his balance again and almost fell to the ground.

After he steadied himself, he watched the man’s retreating figure with a look of grievance.

Why had Fourth Master also become as strange as that woman?

What exactly was the more important thing Fourth Master had to attend to...
