The Favored Heiress

Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Moving the Civil Affairs Bureau Back Home Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Moving the Civil Affairs Bureau Back Home Li Qiao had imagined a million possibilities, but she had never expected Shang Yu to invite the civil affairs bureau staff to the South Sea Mansion.

After all, this villa hidden in the mountains was inaccessible to ordinary people, only his confidants or acquaintances could come in.

Li Qiao halted at the entrance of the living room, scanning her gaze across the faces of the staff members and finally resting on Shang Yu.

He was seated on a single sofa, his usual black shirt slightly unbuttoned at the collar, his legs crossed one over the other, clothed in suit pants.

His posture was at ease yet casual, exuding an aura impossible to ignore.

Li Qiao watched him intently for a long time, the emotions hidden beneath her calm surface washing over her reasoning like the ebb and flow of tides.

At that moment, Shang Yu raised his eyes to meet hers, tipping up the corners of his mouth, putting down his long legs, and standing up.

“Scared?”

Li Qiao said she wasn’t, yet despite that, her steps towards him still showed a mechanical stiffness.

She walked straight to Shang Yu’s side, glancing again at the items on the table, still feeling very surreal.

The man took her hand and led her to sit on the sofa opposite the staff.

The four of them immediately straightened up, looking at the two of them with utmost seriousness, “Master Yan, shall we start now?”

“Hmm, sorry to trouble you.”

However, what Li Qiao hadn’t expected was still to come.
