While Leng Shuang and Qian Lian continued their noisy banter inside the office, Su Mo’s car had already entered the commercial district.

On the way here, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura passing from the opposite direction inside another car.

’Hm?’

Su Mo glanced sideways briefly.

’Isn’t that Chu Jing?’

The car quickly disappeared past the intersection.

However, Su Mo’s brows rose slightly.

’What was she doing here?’

’Did she come out of Ankang Biotech?’

Almost instantly, Yang Qingxi’s previous teasing words surfaced in his mind again.

"There’s something going on between Chu Jing and Leng Shuang."

Back then, Su Mo honestly did not take it seriously.

After all, Leng Shuang had used disguises and hidden identities during missions before. He simply assumed she maintained contact with Chu Jing for Chu Daxing’s assassination.

But now...

It suddenly felt suspicious.

If there was truly nothing between them, why would Chu Jing appear around the company?

Su Mo thought about it briefly before shrugging inwardly.

’Whatever.’

’Let nature take its course.’

’If they really end up together, I can only bless them.’

Then another thought surfaced in his mind.

’Maybe I can even gift them a Gender Changing Pill like Miss Yang suggested.’

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it sounded.

After all, if one side changed gender, many complications would disappear instantly.

He completely ignored how terrifying such a gift sounded.

Soon, Su Mo threw those thoughts aside completely.

After arriving at the company entrance, he casually tossed the car keys to the security guard.

"Park it for me."

"Yes, President Su!"

Meanwhile, Li Mei obediently remained in his arms while curiously looking around.

As Su Mo entered the building, several employees who recognized him immediately greeted enthusiastically.

"President Su!"

"Good afternoon, President!"

However, many employees looked confused instead.

That wasn’t strange.

After all, Su Mo’s existence within the company was honestly mysterious.

Despite being the boss, he almost never appeared.

Most daily operations were handled entirely by Leng Shuang.

In comparison, Su Mo behaved more like some idle rich second-generation heir occasionally wandering around the building.

Naturally, he didn’t care about this at all.

Compared to fame and public attention, a lazy, comfortable life suited him much better.

Soon, Su Mo carried Li Mei into the special elevator and directly headed toward Leng Shuang’s office.

The moment he approached the office area, he sensed an unfamiliar aura inside.

’Hm?’

’Is Shuang entertaining guests?’

Su Mo did not think too much about it.

After casually knocking once, he directly opened the office door.

"Who—?"

When Leng Shuang saw him, she immediately stood up.

"Oh, Master."

Su Mo nodded lightly.

Then his gaze shifted toward the unfamiliar woman inside the office.

At first glance, she gave him a strangely familiar feeling.

Messy hair. Heavy dark circles. Pale skin. Casual clothes.

The faint smell of vitamins.

And that exhausted salted-fish aura...

Su Mo’s expression gradually became subtle.

’...Wait.’

His eyes widened slightly.

’Isn’t this exactly like my past self?’

At this moment, Su Mo genuinely felt emotional.

If not for cultivation strengthening his body after transmigration...

Given his previous lifestyle of endless gaming all-nighters and staying indoors constantly. He probably would have evolved into this exact creature eventually, once again.

’Speaking of games...’

Another thought suddenly surfaced.

’Miss Yang said she’d let me test that virtual reality game.’

’When was the release date again?’

’I should ask her later.’

Meanwhile, Qian Lian’s eyes had already completely lit up after seeing Su Mo.

’This is him?’

’This is Shuang’s Master?!’

Without even considering her image, she instantly jumped off the sofa.

Then rushed forward at shocking speed before directly sliding across the floor.

The next second, she tightly hugged Su Mo’s leg.

Su Mo did not dodge.

After sensing she was merely an ordinary person with zero threat, he simply wanted to see what exactly she intended to do.

Unfortunately, what happened next completely exceeded his expectations.

Qian Lian raised her head dramatically.

Then shouted emotionally:

"MY MASTER~!"

"???"

A giant question mark practically appeared above Su Mo’s head.

However, Qian Lian still wasn’t finished.

Tears instantly appeared in her eyes. Even snot began forming.

"Please accept me~!"

"Wait!"

Su Mo’s face changed immediately.

"Who are you?!"

"And stop rubbing your snot on my jeans!"

His expression instantly became disgusted.

Without hesitation, he used spiritual energy to push her backward forcefully.

Qian Lian immediately slid several meters away from him.

Yet instead of getting angry, her eyes sparkled brightly.

"So amazing..."

She stared at herself in disbelief.

"I was pushed away without touching anything..."

"This is definitely cultivation!"

Her excitement instantly doubled.

Meanwhile, Su Mo quietly moved two extra steps backward defensively.

He genuinely feared for his jeans now.

"Master Su~"

Qian Lian looked completely emotional.

"I came all the way here after overcoming countless dangers and hardships!"

"Please don’t reject me!"

As she spoke, she looked ready to pounce at his thigh again.

Su Mo decisively used spiritual energy like invisible telekinesis to keep her suspended two meters away from him.

No matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t approach him.

Leng Shuang silently facepalmed nearby.

At this moment, she genuinely felt embarrassed enough to dig a hole and hide underground.

Su Mo finally turned toward her with a blank expression.

"Can you explain what exactly is happening here?"

"Who is this crazy woman?"

"And why does she keep asking me to accept her?"

He paused briefly.

"Does she want to become my subordinate..."

"...or does she think I’m opening some orphanage?"

Li Mei, who had been quietly watching the drama from Su Mo’s arms, suddenly widened her eyes.

Then slowly turned toward Qian Lian in shock.

’This big sister...’

’Wants Uncle Brother to adopt her?’

Li Mei genuinely suspected this strange woman had brain problems.

Qian Lian seemed to have heard something extremely important from Su Mo’s words. Her eyes instantly brightened.

"You can adopt me!"

She raised her hand excitedly.

"I’m willing to become your daughter too, Daddy!"

Su Mo: "..."

Li Mei: "!!!"

Leng Shuang: "Cough Cough—"

She nearly choked on air from secondhand embarrassment.
