Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

"What attitude could they possibly have towards Li Shiqi."

Shen Yu, having just joined, couldn't grasp many things, so upon hearing Su Qing's inquiry, Lu Lin casually answered. According to her, both Tao Tian and Qu Jing, with Qu Jing at most being a whim of Zhou Yuwen's, had little say. The main figure was the first wife; she has the capital and capability.

"The first wife has a pretty good attitude towards Li Shiqi, probably wanting to bring her into the fold. But this little girl is stubborn, after all, she's a good student with an inherent pride, likely wanting to fight for it." Lu Lin understood that while Li Shiqi could tolerate Zhou Yuwen having multiple women, she still harbored some hope that Zhou Yuwen would ultimately abandon all the other girls to be with her.

Although it made sense, she hadn't yet confronted Su Qing directly. When she did, she'd realize that her wish was impossible. The relationship between Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing was unlikely to ever dissolve in this lifetime.

Su Qing understood the situation with Lu Lin's analysis. Not recognizing reality is normal—Su Qing wouldn't concern herself with such matters because she, too, had been like that in the past.

Even now, it's just a helpless compromise.

Su Qing felt Zhou Yuwen's interest in Li Shiqi was merely about finding a lover outside, something that wouldn't amount to much. Wanting to stand out alone was impossible now. She and Shen Yu, along with a few girls, had been university roommates and now all became Zhou Yuwen's women. Without other girls, these girls would surely fight viciously with each other, but with so many of Zhou Yuwen's women around, they naturally banded together.

In Su Qing's view, Tao Tian wasn't likely to amount to anything either.

The only real concern was Jiang Xinyi. Now that Jiang Xinyi had resumed business with Zhou Yuwen, people might say it's business, but in reality, it's a rekindling of old flames.

Jiang Xinyi's mother, Liu Jing, was incredibly attentive, even specifically visiting the company to find Zhou Yuwen and inviting him to her house for dinner. Isn't it clear that her intentions are as obvious as Sima Zhao's ambitions?

Listening to their discussions, Su Qing simply nodded, saying to let them be. Zhou Yuwen's development in Jinling indeed needs local influence support. As long as it's beneficial for Zhou Yuwen, just turn a blind eye.

Seeing Su Qing's serene demeanor now, Shen Yu and Lu Lin exchanged glances, both feeling Su Qing had changed significantly.

The three girls chatted for a while longer, then feeling tired, returned to their rooms to rest.

That night, Zhou Yuwen slept well with Lu Wanting, and the next day began to get busy. Although Su Qing had set up the framework for the design studio, it lacked designers of substantial caliber. Su Qing's designs were certainly fine, but she had previously only been a senior white-collar worker, miles away from the top tier.

However, she did know a few people living in the United States who weren't well-known yet but would become famous for their designs in a few years. The architectural design industry, much like painting, takes time to prove oneself.

Zhou Yuwen shared his design ideas, so Su Qing recommended a few designers, all seasoned, aged 50-60, including a female designer named Susan, who's 47. She had always been an assistant to others until 2020, when she finally had her own signature work and gained renown.

Susan is currently in the United States.

Talented people often have peculiar temperaments. Actually, Su Qing had previously visited two designers, but upon hearing it was faraway in the Oriental, they mostly rejected the idea.

Even now, with Zhou Yuwen coming over, Su Qing didn't hold much hope and repeatedly told Zhou Yuwen about these designers' quirky temperaments.

Zhou Yuwen responded by saying their temperament is a matter of inadequate offers. This is a capitalist society; as long as the price is right, everyone becomes amicable.

The United States is a vast country. According to Su Qing's plan, they needed to visit each designer one by one.

Zhou Yuwen thought it unnecessary but suddenly remembered Su Qing once mentioned during their architectural exhibition visits that she hoped to meet those designers in the future; even hearing their architectural insights would be immensely beneficial.

Zhou Yuwen thought, since we're here in the United States, he should accompany Su Qing.

So, they took off in a bright yellow Ferrari, embarking on a cross-country tour.

The United States, apart from its bustling cities, is mostly wilderness—a scene of yellow soil merging with blue skies, stretching out with seemingly endless roads.

Like a couple in a movie, holding a map of the US, they traveled from city to city, south to north. Zhou Yuwen dressed in simple casual wear, feeling relaxed, wearing sunglasses while driving against the sunset, while Su Qing's outfit resembled the classic pretty woman style from American films—a simple white dress.

In about half a month, during this period, Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing talked a lot, resolving numerous misunderstandings and conflicts from past lives to the present.

They seemed to return to their university days, with Su Qing forgetting all the marital conflicts, focusing only on Zhou Yuwen during these fifteen days. Zhou Yuwen also wholeheartedly accompanied Su Qing, as they laughed, chatted, mingled with other travelers, and took photos in the desert, pretending to be cowboys.
