nuch. Who would speak to their own mother with such trepidation However, when the door opened and his mother appeared with an angry face, it startled Su Can. Later on, upon seeing that Su Can was pres...Chapter 73 A Turbulent Heart

This was the third floor of the Arts Building, with a view overlooking the lawn and distant buildings, including under-construction skyscrapers, perhaps even隱約的 elevated bridges—a forest-like city.

The sunlight was gentle, a rosy red hue that covered people's faces and bodies, warm yet subtle.

Though Su Can was in a daze, Sun Man beside him had a face flushed with crimson. At this moment, she pointed at the manuscript on the table and said, "You continue."

"I should continue" This matter-of-fact attitude left Su Can feeling astonished; it was as if she thought he would act like nothing happened.

Knowing that Sun Man, a leading figure of the school TV station, had many admirers within this prestigious high school who wished to get close to her and win her favor—these included top students from various classes and competitions, outstanding athletes, basketball players, or highly respected figures in their respective classes.

However, what was happening in this student council office would likely cause a commotion if it were to be publicized; instead, Su Can was the one who had been teased with a kiss.

Coming back to his senses from an extremely brief moment of daze, Su Can suddenly understood. Sun Man seemed mischievous and playful—what he considered flirtatious might not mean as much to her, possibly just a provocation. Moreover, if she caught him visibly uncomfortable under her teasing gaze, it would be a loss of composure; though this did affect Su Can internally.

Thus, Su Can quickly composed himself and calmly stated the points his teacher wanted him to convey about the manuscript without any sign of disarray in his tone.

But in Sun Man's eyes, it was a different story. She gnashed her teeth out of frustration, biting her lips repeatedly while glaring at him with a resentful look. Of course, she listened intently to everything he said, analyzing the extent of Su Can’s internal disturbance from his tone, something she could easily discern given her natural talent for language and perfect Mandarin pronunciation. Yet today, she was disappointed.

Su Can's heart seemed as calm as a deep pool, without any ripples.

"That's about it. I don't think I've left anything out," Su Cen heaved a heavy sigh of relief, forcing himself to maintain his unnatural composure while speaking so much to Sun Man beside him. He truly felt a sense of immense relief now.

However, this last breath of ease from Su Cen was keenly noticed by Sun Man, who felt a slight joy in her heart, thinking that no matter how well you pretend, Su Cen, there will still be slips, right Otherwise, she might really doubt her own charm. Could those piles of love letters be fake You're simply not a perfect person after all; to me, too perfect people are unreliable.

Suddenly, footsteps ran down the corridor, followed by some boys laughing and playing around carefree.

The office door was abruptly pushed open. The metal door made quite a loud bang due to the excessive force used in opening it, startling Sun Man.

The three tall boys who entered shouted out, “[***] Hey man, are you here Let's play basketball!”

Sun Man frowned slightly, annoyed by this group ruining the current atmosphere. She said, “[***] He isn't here today. You can go to his classroom and find him.”

The three boys only then noticed that it was actually School Radio's top hostess Sun Man who was in charge here. Their eyes widened slightly as they saw a boy standing beside her with his back turned. The most annoying one, Qian Long, chuckled evilly, "Oh, so you two were here having a romantic rendezvous Sorry for the disturbance. It really looks like true love."

Sun Man's face flushed red immediately and was about to get angry when Su Cen suddenly turned around. The three opposite them instantly froze; Qian Long and Liang Xiao looked extremely awkward. They had both been dealt with by Su Cen because of Zhao Chengyan, so how could they forget this guy

Su Cen grinned widely, "Nonsense! Since you've come in the wrong place, leave now."

Qian Long was still psychologically scarred; seeing Su Cen's smile made his hair stand on end. Although these words were already quite polite and didn't contain any dirty language or curses, they left Qian Long and Liang Xiao feeling a chill down their spines. They had to turn and leave stiffly without making a spectacle of themselves.

The man who was with them thought nothing strange about Qian Long and Liang Xiao's transformation from two tigers to meek sheep; Su Cen was already quite famous in the teaching building, having met him before. Even Zhao Chengyan had been at a disadvantage against Su Cen, so it wasn't surprising that Qian Long and Liang Xiao were powerless in front of him.

Su Cen, distracted by them, turned around and smiled at Sun Man, saying, "I have something to do. I'll go first."

After Su Cen left the room, Sun Man sat back down at the table and picked up the script in front of her, pondering for a moment before smiling again.

Beneath the lens, a faint light illuminated the apartment of Su Cen's family. In the living room, Su Richen stood up excitedly to say something; on the other side, Zeng Ke was equally indignant, making it look like they were arguing. From his bedroom, Su Cen saw her through binoculars and waved his hand as if to express helplessness.

Soon after, it seemed that Su Richen calmed down, followed by Zeng Ke lightly patting his back. Su Richen picked up the scattered documents from the table; many times in his position of deputy general manager, even though he could withstand pressure from opposing factions, he was not a machine and would get angry no matter how good-tempered he was.

Seeing that the quarrel between Su Cen's parents had come to an end, Tang Wu felt relieved. Suddenly she thought of the apartment where Su Cen lived; under the gradually darkening night sky with stars emerging, it seemed very cozy.

Tang Wu glanced towards the living room but found it empty and somewhat chilly—her father was out on a business trip while her mother hadn't returned yet from some engagement. So she had grown accustomed to being alone at home; this had already been adapted to since her days in Xiahai. Perhaps Su Cen might be troubled by his parents' arguments, but for Tang Wu, it represented something cozy and warm, like Su Cen's smile.

The sound of a key turning the lock echoed through the front door followed by high-heeled footsteps. Mu Xuan hung her coat in the living room and entered, seeing Tang Wu under the light and smiling as she asked, "Have you eaten"

"I prepared my own meal," replied Tang Wu.

"Alright then. Today Mom met Uncle Gong and your Aunt Wang; they all said to take you along next time so they can see how much you've grown up and if you’ve become more beautiful. You should join Mom at the gathering next time, these uncles and aunts haven't seen you in ages and are eager to meet you. But with you being older now, you don’t seem interested in spending time with your parents."

"Okay," Tang Wu nodded.

Mu Xuan, who was tying her scarf, paused and looked at Tang Wu in surprise. She never thought that Tang Wu would actually agree to go to the gathering with her! This took Mu Xuan by surprise. However, this woman who usually left a strong impression of being assertive quickly hid the fleeting joy on her face and regained her composure. With a smile, she said, "Oh, it seems Uncle Chu is going to your school on Monday. Make sure to greet him when you see him."

"Uncle Chu" Tang Wu frowned.

"Zhuci Miao, the Secretary of the Provincial Education Department, is apparently coming to inspect your school. There's a Japanese and South Korean educational institution planning to visit recently, so he has to make an appearance. Speaking of Uncle Chu’s son, didn’t you forget He was studying in Canada and once said that he liked you. But you reported him to his father, resulting in him getting spanked."

Tang Wu merely responded with a "oh" and wasn't too concerned about it.

From the camera’s perspective, Su Can felt a headache coming when Mu Xuan was talking to Tang Wu. When would he have to officially face Tang Wu's mother Currently, their age difference was the most unfavorable factor. Age limited many things, including how Mu Xuan viewed him, Su Can.

She thought of him merely as a child, and any affection or love Tang Wu might feel for him now seemed unrealistic and devoid of future commitment. Moreover, Su Can couldn’t reveal his true power behind the scenes because it would be inconceivable to think that a high school student could be the largest shareholder in multiple companies. Furthermore, everything he had accomplished since reincarnating was impossible to explain to Tang Wu's mother.

Therefore, at present, Su Can’s age was still his biggest issue. If he were an adult and a senior college student, people might think highly of him for starting businesses in university that have made waves. However, as just a high schooler with a team including laid-off workers, the head of a stationery factory, a teacher from Erqiliao Middle School, and emerging entrepreneurial figures like himself in Rongcheng—this would seem monstrous.

Especially considering Tang Wu’s mother's background in judicial and procuratorial systems; Su Can’s revealed strength wouldn’t be easy to hide from her. But this was also his biggest vulnerability because there were too many questions about him, given that he had two lifetimes of souls, wavering between dissatisfaction and contentment in both society and school contexts. His actions exceeded what someone of his current status could achieve, so when he eventually revealed his true power, these uncertainties might increase the obstacles Mu Xuan put up against their relationship.

It would be counterproductive to reveal himself too early. Therefore, Su Can still needed time to bide his time and mature.

This weekend, Tang Wu was somewhat restless in her thoughts; sometimes she tossed and turned at night, finding it hard to stay calm for long periods due to a persistent unease. When she chatted on the phone with Su Can, he could clearly tell that she wasn’t focused.

After waking up from sleep, another Monday had arrived.
