Capítulo 172: Pretty Brave

Su Shen donned a sleek black short-sleeved shirt that accentuated his cold and austere demeanor. The dark hue seemed to amplify the icy edge to his profile, making him appear even more distant and unyielding.

His gaze sliced through the air with an intensity beyond its usual sharpness, akin to a chilling arrow poised to strike, casting an oppressive aura that hung heavily over everyone present.

Across from him, the few employees kept their heads bowed, their hands tightly gripping their attire, some even visibly perspiring with nervousness.

As someone called out, "Sister-in-law is here!" and attention shifted, Su Shen's gaze turned, yet the glacial frost in his eyes hadn't entirely subsided.

A secret tremor coursed through Gu Zi's heart.

It was the first time she witnessed Su Shen losing his composure. No wonder he typically shrouded his emotions; once unleashed, the weight of his authority could be stifling.
