Shi Xiangchao suddenly noticed Jing Jihan entering from the back door. Even though it was their first meeting, he recognized this person as the head of the Jing Family and its vast business empire at a glance.
He hastily withdrew his hand, which he had just extended toward Shi Su.
"Alright, it's okay now." Jing Jihan held Shi Su, gently patting her while speaking softly in her ear, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, hmm?"
Shi Su had just experienced a harrowing escape, and all her defenses relaxed the moment she saw Jing Jihan. Leaning in his arms, she felt a chill in her limbs as he pressed her head towards his shoulder. She closed her eyes, took a breath, and seemed to exhale all the lingering fear and anxiety.
"Mr. Jing." Shi Xiangchao suddenly spoke up from the side.
Holding Shi Su, who was startled but unwilling to show too much emotion, Jing Jihan seemed to notice only now that there was another person present when Shi Xiangchao spoke. He smiled and said, "And you are?"
