Chapter 18：Secret (1/2)

Su Feng took Song Ren to his private office.

His office space had piles of documents on top of his desk and simple furniture throughout the room. It was simplistic, the same way hers was.

When they arrived, she asked, ”So what is it that you wanted to show me?”

Su Feng grinned and approached a large painting in his office. He turned the canvas over, where a door hid behind. He entered a security code with a finger-print scan and facial recognition.

He turned to face her with a gentle expression, and he waved his fingers, directing her to come over. She hesitated at first, but she wanted to take the chance.

Song Ren walked ahead of Su Feng inside. The lab filled with the latest biotechnology and tools. She saw documents full of sketches, proposals, formulas, and outlines for his projects. The materials were top secret information, and she glanced at him eye-wide.

”Why did you bring me here?” she questioned, ”This is your private office? I know because I have one too. You shouldn't bring anyone here.”

Su Feng glanced around the room and nodded, ”Perhaps. But I don't bring just anyone in here. I don't bring anyone here at all.”

Song Ren narrowed her eyes. ”Then why me?” she asked.

Su Feng's face became serious, ”You're the future lady boss of this company, and I want you to know that what's mine is yours.”

”But we aren't even married yet,” she said, puzzled.

”Indeed, but as I said, what's mine is yours, and I want to prove that to you before you marry me.”

He paused to say, ”We will combine our resources, and together, our businesses will be an empire. No other companies can outrank our discoveries in medicine. Together, we will save lives, we will help people, and our values and integrity will remain sturdy,” Su Feng finished.

It took a moment for Su Feng's words to register in her mind. Song Ren always valued morals and helping people, and to see that he too shared the same values; she could not help but smile.

Never in the last six years would she expect Su Feng to be the partner of her dreams. He had shared the same beliefs and commitment towards their work and craft. His handsome features were a bonus but she realized that they indeed made a great pairing.

”Thank you for bringing me here,” she said genuinely, ”This is all spectacular and detailed work.”

Su Feng smiles briefly. He had issues with bringing anyone to his private space. It was a place he spent restless nights in, conducting ideas and executing them. Not even any of his top employees entered. He only provided his colleagues with copies of his documents once it crafted to perfection. But he had to show her—prove to her that he was serious about their engagement.

Song Ren gazed around the room, impressed by his work. Her heart could not help but feel warm. The revelation of his lab was a statement—he trusted her. He trusted her enough to bring her into a top-secret laboratory that she could jeopardize if she were to expose it. But she wouldn't. It seems that she found someone else she needed to protect other than her family.

They spent the entire day unpacking Song Sheng's things and putting them away. Qian Meigui and Song Sheng took several breaks in between, eating meals, sharing casual conversations, and resting.
