Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 81 - 80

Chapter 81: Chapter 80

He clearly saw through her puzzled expression, a sort of intense helplessness in his tone, "I am a person who keeps a clear distinction between work and personal space..."

"I hope that my time and space outside of work won’t be disturbed by some inexplicable people and events." The moment he mentioned it, she recited it right away; she was very proficient with texts as a child. She blinked innocently, "But Mr. Su, I haven’t disturbed you with anything outside of work, have I?"

"..." It was now his turn to be speechless; he blurted out harshly, "Order takeout!"

"Oh..." After feeling as if she had made a mistake again, she obediently took out her phone, although she still didn’t understand what she did wrong. "What would you like to eat?"

She had always considered herself to be quite intelligent! Why could she never understand what Mr. Su was saying?

He had already started looking at the material on her computer, "Order whatever you’re having for me too."

"But I am not eating! I have already eaten!" Her statement ended with a prolonged intonation, carrying an odd thing that scratched at one’s chest.

"Eat another portion!"

"..." What kind of logic is that? "Mr. Su, are you serious?"

"Yes."

"..." Was there also forcing someone to eat? Mr. Su, you turned out to be this kind of Mr. Su! "Then... it’s your treat, right?"

"Mm."

Always so... sparing with words.

She pondered for a moment, late at night, better not to have a big meal, "Then... order two bowls of beef noodles from the hotel?"

"Mm." He frowned at something he saw in her material.

"..." She didn’t know if he was dissatisfied with her work; she immediately fell silent and honestly shrunk to the side.

Time seemed to stand still; she sat down and then curled up on the bed, quietly staring at him with the blanket hugged close. He sat upright at the desk, flipping through her computer’s content page by page.

From her angle, she could only see his back, the back of his head. He seemed perpetually so rigid and severe. She had never seen his shoulders slump, nor had he ever slouched while sitting or walking.

Always sitting so upright, doesn’t it get tiring?

Was he this proper even when alone? Look at her; she had already curled up like a mollusk.

At this thought, she suddenly realized that sharing such a scene with him felt weird, especially with her appearing so languid. Was it too casual? But he was the one who had come into her room...

She immediately sat up straight and adjusted her pajamas, but her thoughts had already wandered far and could not be gathered back. For instance, she suddenly remembered why the atmosphere felt odd because it overlapped with a rare childhood memory related to her father stored in her mind.

In her memory, her father also often worked late at the desk. Mom said he was either doing accounts or studying, telling her not to disturb Dad and then hugged her close, not too far from where Dad was, gazing in the same way, or holding some knitting, knitting for a while, watching her, then Dad.

That warmth and closeness were specific to a family.

At this, she hit her head, had she lost her mind? The atmosphere only found among family members, how could she associate it with him? He was someone who had sternly warned her!

"What silly thing are you thinking about?" A voice suddenly pierced the quiet space.

"..." Letting you overthink! She had already figured out Mr. Su’s pattern: either he didn’t speak, and when he did, it was to lecture her! If she dared to voice what she had just thought, wouldn’t that be asking for a scolding? She even imagined the tone he would use to scold her: Tu Hengsha! Haven’t I warned you about what?
