This is a noble and elegant man.
He wore a sharp and meticulously tailored custom suit, his black hair neat and mature. His features were deep and perfect, his thin lips pressed together, radiating an aura that kept others at a distance.
He was so much like… Su Xiaorui!
It was as if they were carved from the same mold, incredibly alike.
Su Ding’s eyes widened, her beautiful face displaying shock and disbelief. Her mouth hung slightly agape as she stared fixedly at the man’s face, speechless for a long moment.
It was simply too unbelievable!
Jin Ye felt a flicker of displeasure at the woman’s direct gaze, his expression immediately darkening.
He cast a cold glance at Su Ding. Upon seeing her eyes, he paused for a moment, then quickly looked away.
Su Ding also swiftly withdrew her gaze, maintaining a dignified and polite demeanor.
Sister Hong stepped forward to introduce them, “Mr. Jin, you’re here. This is Su Ding, the artist I mentioned. She’s a newly signed artist with our company. She previously won Best Supporting Actress abroad in Hollywood and was handpicked by Director Curry as an outstanding Asian actress.”
Su Ding politely greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Jin.”
Jin Ye cast a brief glance at her as he walked past her towards the conference room table.
As the air stirred, a faint, delicate fragrance drifted into Jin Ye’s nose…
His steps halted, his gaze darkening slightly.
This scent was the same as the woman in his bed five years ago.
Shao Lin had never possessed this scent again. He had thought it was perfume, but despite searching countless perfumes over the years, he had never found a matching fragrance. Now, it had reappeared.
He turned back, surveying the woman before him again from head to toe, his eyes filled with an inexplicable curiosity.
Su Ding turned her head away, her gaze falling elsewhere.
According to the information she had gathered, Shao Lin’s benefactor was the man before her. To have ensnared the very person who held the reins of Jiang City’s economic lifeline was indeed quite a feat.
Sister Hong observed this scene, her eyes darting as a pleased expression bloomed on her face, her thoughts stirring.
Jin Ye walked to the head of the conference room table and took his seat. As the boss, he had a few words to impart.
He spoke calmly, outlining the company’s regulations and cautioning her against violating them. He mentioned that the company would invest significant funds and effort into nurturing talented individuals.
Su Ding listened silently. Accidentally looking up, she found Jin Ye staring intently at her face, his eyes narrowed and his expression serious.
Had she done something inappropriate?
Her heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, the sound of a phone vibrating echoed in the room. Su Ding patted her own pocket, but it wasn’t her phone.
Looking up, she saw the man holding his phone and sternly leaving the room.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
After leaving the room, Jin Ye answered the call. A clear, childlike voice came from the phone: “Daddy, are you coming home tonight?”
Jin Ye was about to answer, but the words caught in his throat.
Through the transparent glass, he saw a child with a cute face, strikingly similar to his, sitting in the conference room, happily chatting and laughing with the man in the suit…
Jin Xiao Xi?!
He looked down at his phone, then abruptly looked back at the conference room.
Jin Ye had never believed in ghosts or spirits, but today, for the first time, his hair stood on end.
He pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and stepped forward. The sounds of the child’s playfulness and laughter grew clearer.
As his steps drew nearer, the child’s profile came into sharp focus.
This face was clearly the same as Jin Xiao Xi’s…
Identical?!
An unknown tension arose from the depths of his heart, an invisible force urging him to enter. It was an unprecedented impulse and…
He gripped the doorknob, yanked it down forcefully, and prepared to step inside…
