And now, Wenxin'er has only just started working at the translation institute.

What exactly happened that made Xie Sili arrive at the Translation Institute ahead of schedule?

No matter what happened, Shen Lu's intuition told her that staying away from the male and female leads would only benefit the supporting characters, not harm them.

Xie Sili looked up and saw Shen Lu not far away. His eyes showed a moment of consideration, and he completely ignored Wen Xin'er, who was staring at him expectantly.

It's no wonder he was so impressed; Shen Lu's features were simply too striking. Even in the city, he had never seen such a beautiful and elegant woman.

Dressed in a simple, clean white cloth, she stood there like a lotus flower emerging from the mud, swaying gently, though still somewhat plump.

Every move she made was so captivating that Xie Sili was instantly mesmerized.

Shen Lu was pondering the plot about the male lead, Xie Sili, and didn't notice the intense gaze directed at her.

Wenxin'er clenched her teeth as she watched Xie Sili staring blankly at Shen Lu.

Why do all men fall for Shen Lu, that vixen?

Wenxin glared fiercely at Shen Lu beside her.

Bitch! You're perfectly fine being fat, why are you trying to lose weight?

Xie Sili's mind was in turmoil. Despite being a seasoned lover, he felt like a young boy with his heart pounding. He had only one thought in his mind: if this was the person he was looking for, that would be great.

Realizing his lapse in composure, Xie Sili coughed lightly, pressed his fist to his lips, looked around, and asked the vice dean.

Are all our colleagues here?

"No, I sent two outstanding young people from our college to greet you."

The vice dean answered with a smile.

Xie Sili's gaze swept over the two men's faces.

He only received information that the sister of the Black Tigers captain, who was responsible for protecting national leaders, worked at the Translation Institute.

He knew the girl was domineering, willful, arrogant, and conceited, but he didn't know any other specific characteristics of her.

The names of all members of the Black Tiger Team are top secret, so Xie Sili didn't know what the Black Tiger Team captain's sister's surname was.

After making inquiries from various sources, it was learned that the Black Tiger Team's captain's nickname was "Blazing Sun".

His purpose in coming here was to get acquainted with the Black Tiger Team leader's sister and thus establish a connection with the leader.

With this relationship, whatever path he chooses in the future, he will have a smooth journey.

Based on the known conditions, Xie Sili believed that choosing one among several female colleagues should not be too difficult.

The vice dean introduced the two individuals to Xie Sili one by one.

"This is Wenxin'er, our institute's news translator."

Wenxin smiled sweetly and greeted Xie Sili.

Xie Sili nodded and turned his gaze to Shen Lu.

"Who is this?"

"Her name is Shen Lu. She is currently translating classic works at the Translation Institute and recently received a national-level honor award."

The vice dean beamed when talking about Shen Lu.

Xie Sili's expression gradually darkened.

These characteristics do not match the criteria he is looking for at all, so it seems that Shen Lu is probably not the sister of the Black Tiger Team captain.

Looking at the man's varied expressions, Shen Lu wondered what the vice dean had told her that would disappoint him so much.

Seeing that he had not achieved the desired effect, the vice dean quickly changed the subject.

"I'll show you the way around the compound."

Having completed her task, Shen Lu headed towards home.

Back home, the two little ones were sitting at the table, diligently doing the homework Shen Lu had left them.

Upon seeing Shen Lu return, they ran up and hugged Shen Lu's legs on either side.

"You've finished your homework." Shen Lu patted the two little ones' soft heads and walked to the table.

Although the two little ones' handwriting was crooked and messy, their accuracy rate was very high.

To reward the two of them, Shen Lu spoke up.

"You two play for a while, then we'll go to the river to catch fish."

She had just passed a stream with lots of fish in it, and a few people were catching them, which made Shen Lu's hands itch to join in.

Let's catch fish!

The two little ones stared with their big, furry eyes, which revealed longing.

They've never experienced this before!

They were both young, and the boys were unwilling to take the two little ones into the water.

The two little ones immediately looked around and began preparing their fishing gear.

Shen Lu looked at the childlike scene and shook her head with a smile.

Under the scorching sun, the three set off.

There is a small stream not far behind the house, with bamboo groves on both sides. A gentle breeze blows, bringing a sense of coolness.

Shen Lu rolled up her trousers and went into the water. The unpolluted stream was crystal clear, and her legs felt cool and comfortable soaking in it.

The two little ones were still too young, so Shen Lu dared not let them go into the water casually and gave each of them a small carrier.

"You two are tasked with catching fish."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze's faces, but it was quickly overshadowed by the joy of catching fish.

Shen Lu held her breath and focused, submerging her hands above the water. Soon, a carp as long as an adult's arm emerged from the water.

The sparkling water droplets reflected the children's delighted smiles.

"Brother, what a big fish! It's much bigger than the fish that Erniu and the others caught."

Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise, and Xiao Ze responded with a big smile.

Shen Lu rarely saw such a vivid expression on Xiao Ze's face, and she worked even harder to catch fish.

There was a stream near the orphanage when Shen Lu was a child, so she was very good at catching fish.

Wow, what a huge fish!

Xiao Yu's eyes sparkled as he picked up a fish from the east and another from the west.

The fish, freshly caught, were jumping and splashing around, splashing water all over the two children's faces, but they were still having a great time.

As the sun slowly rises overhead.

Shen Lu prepared to lead the two little ones home. The two little ones were clearly in a much better mood and skipped and hopped towards home.

But just as she reached the corner, a man bumped into her.

It was Xie Sili, a colleague who had just arrived today.

"Hello, Comrade Shen."

Xie Sili hadn't expected to run into Shen Lu, so he put on what he thought was a warm and friendly smile and approached her.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Ze stood warily in front of Shen Lu. Their father had told them that they were little men and that they had to protect their mother when their father was not around.

Xie Sili was blocked from going forward, and awkwardly laughed, "Are you out playing with your friend's kid?"

Shen Lu had no liking for Xie Sili and spoke to him perfunctorily.

"This is my child."

Xie Sili's smile froze for a moment. He never expected that Shen Lu was so young and beautiful, and that she was already married and had two children.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Comrade Xie?"

"The vice president showed me around for a bit, but then had to leave. I can't find where the staff quarters are. Could you take me there?"

Although she didn't know where the family compound was, Shen Lu didn't have a good reason to refuse Xie Sili's request.

The family compound was nearby, only a three- to five-minute walk away, and she was just about to go home.

"Come with me."

Shen Lu led two children and carried fish.

Xie Sili noticed the fish Shen Lu was carrying and curled his lip in disgust, which was seen by Gu Xingze who turned around.

Xie Sili immediately pretended that nothing had happened.
