Chapter 499: Chapter 499: The woman I fancy is indeed extraordinary

If it was about Su Lianxi’s sudden madness yesterday, Su Zixi believed that President Mansion would definitely have thoroughly investigated the matter and known that she was innocent. They couldn’t possibly suspect her of being the culprit.

“If you don’t want to go, just refuse,” He Jingyao said seriously as he looked at her. “It’s no big deal.”

“How can it be no big deal! I can’t fail to give the First Lady face!” Su Zixi suddenly felt a surge of fighting spirit. “I’ll go right now, Jingyao, don’t worry! I can handle it!”

“Hmm,” He Jingyao’s eyes revealed a hint of teasing. “You are indeed my capable wife.”

Su Zixi smiled shyly, not wanting to keep the lady-in-waiting waiting any longer, quickly applied light makeup, and went downstairs.

After Li Bo escorted Su Zixi to the car, he returned to the living room and approached He Jingyao: “Young Master, could it really be that the Young Mistress…”

“The woman I have chosen is really different,” He Jingyao hooked up the corner of his lips.

Li Bo’s mouth twitched, silently suppressing the urge to retort.

The President Mansion was much quieter tonight than the previous evening, and since the sun had not yet fully set, Su Zixi could see clearly the structure inside.

It was not overtly luxurious but had an imposing and steady atmosphere that demanded respect.

Following the lady-in-waiting, Su Zixi walked in, and after several turns, the lady-in-waiting finally stopped and smiled at her: “Young Mistress, we’ve arrived.”

“Thank you.” Su Zixi took a deep breath, then mustered the courage to walk inside.

At a small table, the First Lady Chu Jinyu was sitting there with a smile, apparently waiting for her.

“First Lady.” Su Zixi greeted her with a smile, unable to prevent her palms from sweating.

“You’ve arrived?” Chu Jinyu smiled radiantly, “Please, have a seat.”

…Such an informal attitude made Su Zixi even more nervous.

She sat down opposite Chu Jinyu and mustered the courage to look her in the eye.

To her surprise, the First Lady’s gaze seemed… maternal.

“You’re Su Zixi?” Chu Jinyu asked kindly.

“Yes, First Lady,” Su Zixi nodded.

Chu Jinyu slowly nodded back, examining her intently for a while without speaking.

“First Lady?” Su Zixi felt nervous under her gaze, her face flushing.

Chu Jinyu’s gaze softened and grew wistful.

“You did well.” Chu Jinyu’s voice was slightly husky, “Thank you for lending me your shoes yesterday.”

Su Zixi was a bit embarrassed: “After I went back, I realized that those might belong to you…”

Chu Jinyu smiled: “We have the same shoe size, quite the coincidence, right?”

Indeed, it was quite a coincidence… Su Zixi thought to herself and subconsciously nodded.

“Your birthday is on February 24th?” Chu Jinyu continued.

Surprised, Su Zixi nodded again.

Seeing her puzzled look, Chu Jinyu laughed again: “Good girl, today it’s just the two of us. What do you like to eat? I’ll have them serve it.”

…

After the meal, Su Zixi was still thoroughly confused.

She still hadn’t figured out the First Lady’s intentions, but what she could be sure of was that this dinner was not a trap.

In fact, the First Lady was kind and gentle, and at times Su Zixi would even be reminded of her mother… It had been a long time since someone had looked at her with such gentle and caring eyes.

Throughout the meal, the First Lady just chatted with her about family matters, with special focus on her relationship with He Jingyao.

Seeing Su Zixi’s shy expression, she seemed very pleased.
