Shen Su had been studying in England since high school. He had heard that he was admitted to Cambridge among the top students, but Feng Feng had rarely heard him mention it. "Then you're quite impressive," Feng Feng praised Shen Su sincerely, not out of politeness or flattery.
Shen Su smiled and said, "I'm very happy to receive your praise, President Feng. However, that's all in the past and not worth mentioning."
Feng Feng could tell he wasn't being falsely modest, but genuinely felt these things were insignificant. For him, beyond academics, there were many other achievements. His confidence no longer needed those things to be built. Recalling their acquaintance, Shen Su had indeed been thriving in his career. Jin He was managed exceptionally well under him, and his investments had never failed. Even in industries initially met with skepticism, they flourished after his investment.
Jin He was likely the first company in China to invest heavily in the medical industry. Feng Feng had heard some related anecdotes. It was said that when Shen Su was still studying, he had a disagreement with his father over investments. At that time, almost all of Jin He's senior executives opposed him. After he "stubbornly persisted" for two years, the medical industry surged, shareholders reaped substantial profits, and the voices that had opposed him then all disappeared.
Shen Su was undoubtedly a capable and outstanding person.
Feng Feng chuckled at the jumbled thoughts in her head. As the saying goes, when someone is infatuated, they see the other person through rose-tinted glasses; flaws are perceived as virtues, and existing virtues are magnified. Now she finally understood. The investment experiences and work abilities of Shen Su that she had just marveled at were things she had known since they first met, but when she wasn't interested in him, these things hadn't moved her.
No wonder Lin Mei and Lan Lan chattered endlessly when praising Xing Zheng and Liang Yufeng. It turned out to be the same for her.
Feng Feng and Shen Su strolled on the beach, chatting about Shen Su's experiences during his years studying in England. Ten minutes later, they encountered a little girl, about three or four years old. The girl had blonde hair and blue eyes, with fair, tender skin. She sweetly said "hello" to them in English. For a moment, Feng Feng felt her heart flutter.
However, she wasn't very adept at interacting with children, and the little girl happened to like Shen Su. She proactively took his hand. The child's hand was soft and tender. Shen Su asked her mother for permission and then picked the little girl up.
Seeing Shen Su talking to the little girl, Feng Feng felt a sense of daze again. She subconsciously wondered if he would be so patient if he became a father in the future. As Feng Feng was thinking this, the girl's mother said something to her in English. Feng Feng snapped back to attention and realized the woman was asking if she and Shen Su were married.
This question was a bit difficult to answer.
As Feng Feng hesitated, Shen Su, holding the little girl, answered for her. However, he replied in Italian, so Feng Feng didn't know his answer. But after hearing Shen Su's reply, the child's mother said to Feng Feng in English, "Your husband is very handsome, and your children must be very cute too!"
Feng Feng could only smile at the woman's warmth. She glanced sideways at Shen Su, suspecting that what he had just replied wasn't anything good. Shen Su was focused on entertaining the child and didn't notice Feng Feng's gaze.
Later, the little girl became sleepy, and her mother took her away. After the mother and daughter left, Shen Su was still smiling, reminiscing, and said with a sigh, "Girls of this age are so cute. I'm envious."
Shen Su's views on marriage and children had always been relatively open. He didn't reject marriage or children, but he wouldn't say he particularly liked them, as he didn't interact with them often. However, after playing with the cute little girl just now, Shen Su suddenly began to long for a daughter. He even wondered what their daughter's personality would be like if he and Feng Feng had one, who she would resemble, and what her name would be.
As he pondered, Shen Su couldn't help but chuckle. He had never had such fantasies during his first relationship in middle school. Feng Feng was truly sent by heaven to be his undoing. He had done so many things for Feng Feng that he had never done before, and he had made quite a few blunders.
Shen Su's chuckle reached Feng Feng's ears. She glanced at him sideways. "What are you laughing at?"
Shen Su replied, "Laughing at myself for overthinking."
Feng Feng asked, "What were you overthinking?"
Shen Su answered truthfully, "I was just thinking about what our daughter would be like if we had one."
Upon hearing this, Feng Feng beside him fell silent. Shen Su wasn't disappointed; this was even within his expectations. Feng Feng's personality would never allow her to answer such a "boring" question.
Just as Shen Su thought Feng Feng wouldn't respond, she suddenly said, "Let's hope she doesn't take after me."
Shen Su was taken aback for a moment before he realized Feng Feng was answering his earlier question. His eyes immediately lit up with a smile. "President Feng, does this mean you've considered having children with me?"
Feng Feng answered indirectly, "My cousin just had a baby, and my parents are very envious."
Shen Su felt a strong sense of empathy. "It's similar. My parents also envy other people's grandchildren and have often urged me about it."
The two quickly found common ground again. Shen Su was still immersed in the cuteness of the little girl. He said, "I hope it's a daughter. I'll take care of her myself then."
Feng Feng calmly retorted, "Are you sure?"
After asking, she suddenly realized that by saying this, she was implicitly acknowledging that she too had thought about having children. Shen Su, being so astute, would surely understand. Looking at his smiling face, it was indeed the case.
"Sure. Don't you have confidence in me, President Feng?" Shen Su took her hand, their fingers interlacing. He smiled and said, "I'm quite talented at learning."
Seeing his confident demeanor, Feng Feng's attitude cooled slightly, and she poured cold water on him. "It's too early to say, don't think too far ahead."
Shen Su quickly understood the implication. "President Feng is right. I still need to put in the effort and work hard." He deliberately emphasized the words "put in the effort" and tightened his grip on her hand, his intentions quite clear.
Feng Feng was accustomed to his occasional suggestive remarks and walked forward calmly.
According to the time, it should be the Lunar New Year's Day in China.
Upon returning to the hotel, Feng Feng and Shen Su took out their phones. WeChat was flooded with New Year's greetings. After replying to messages, Shen Su posted a scenic photo taken from the terrace that afternoon on his Moments.
