Chapter 24

"So pretty."

Wanda touched it, then withdrew her hand.

Then she looked at the other artworks.

Metal vases, murals, silver tableware, small sculptures, and so on and so forth.

Wanda could tell at a glance that these were all likely worth a fortune.

So she didn't touch anything else afterward.

Next.

After they finished chatting about the collectibles in the office.

The two returned to their chairs and began talking about other things.

Wanda recalled her hometown, and said she didn't actually like being a superhero, that she'd only joined in a semi-coerced way.

She also said she'd been feeling very sad lately.

And she explained to Su Yi that it hadn't been intentional — she'd been trying to save people and couldn't control the power of the bomb, which led to the collateral damage.

Then came her views on the internet.

Wanda said that if she could, she'd like to move to a small town with hardly any people and live there.

That way there wouldn't be so much pressure.

Just like that.

Wanda treated Su Yi as her sounding board.

For an entire afternoon.

Wanda talked, Su Yi listened, and then offered suggestions and agreement.

That's how they spent the whole afternoon.

An entire cup of milk tea was also gradually finished off by Wanda.

But anyone with sense knows.

When a girl shares some secrets with you, and tells you everything about herself.

That's the beginning of her becoming dependent on you!

And she will gradually trust you!

As for what happens after that, it depends on the thoughts and actions of the person being confided in.

And as for Su Yi.

He certainly can't be counted as a good person.

"Slurp~ slurp~"

After the last bit was sucked up by Wanda.

She was surprised to realize she'd actually been chatting with Su Yi for that long!

"Sorry, seems like I've been the only one talking."

Wanda suddenly felt a bit ashamed and embarrassed, after all she'd taken up so much of his time.

Su Yi shook his head to indicate it was fine: "Listening is also a form of psychological counseling."

Hearing the words "psychological counseling."

Wanda suddenly remembered that she'd come here for psychological counseling.

Only then did she add.

"Forgot to mention, it was Mr. Tony Stark who gave me the business card and suggested I come."

"Tony?"

Su Yi paused for a beat, then smiled: "Looks like I should thank him then."

"Thank him?" Wanda was puzzled.

Su Yi checked the time — 4:58 PM — then stood up as he spoke.

"Thank him for referring a mature, beautiful female client to me."

"It grew my business and lifted my mood."

"Let's go, it's afternoon tea time. Let's switch to a coffee shop, or somewhere with sweets and a nice view, and chat slowly."

Saying that, Su Yi pushed back his chair and walked out, opening the door for Wanda.

Wanda, hearing Su Yi's flirtatious remark, blushed a little, but as a mature older-sister type, of course she wouldn't be too shy.

So Wanda gave Su Yi a smiling glance.

"You're making me regret dressing like this when I went out."

Then she walked past him and out the door.

And Su Yi also closed the door, mentally reciting the opening command before leaving together with Wanda.
