Chapter 1237: The Troubles of a Handsome Young Man

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Some people at the hotel were genuinely confused.

Why on earth had the boss summoned everyone to watch the news broadcast?

Just as the collective puzzlement simmered to a peak, the international news channel flickered to life on the massive television screen. The elegant, composed anchor appeared onscreen—and for a heartbeat, the entire room fell into stunned silence.

Then someone gasped.

"Wait a second... Isn’t that our future boss lady?!"

"Oh my god—she’s on the news! The boss lady’s on the news!"

Next to the screen, Jin Long looked smug enough to explode with pride. Chin up, arms crossed, he announced grandly, "What do you mean she’s on the news? From now on, she’s the one hosting the news! This whole program—every single night—will be hosted by Gong Xin. And you’d better believe every television in this hotel is going to be set to that channel, on time, every day. Understood?"

As he gazed at the poised woman with the sharp new bob and dazzling screen presence, Jin Long’s heart swelled. So this was why Gong Xin had dragged him shopping for wigs yesterday—clever girl. She hadn’t wanted to cut her long, beautiful hair for the show, so she’d found a workaround.

His Gong Xin wasn’t just smart, she was strategic.

Jin Long made up his mind right there: not only would he become a devoted fan of her show, but so would everyone on his staff. He’d be the silent, unwavering man standing behind her—low-profile, but proud as hell.

While Jin Long basked in joy, back in the capital, Gu Zi had new troubles of her own. Or to be precise—what she called a "not-quite-trouble kind of trouble."

Su Bing, now in sixth grade, had suddenly shot up in height. He was nearly as tall as Gu Zi herself, which prompted her to measure him one day—he was already 1.68 meters tall. Unlike Su Li, who had a broader, more muscular frame, Su Bing was lean and elegant. His skin had lightened over the years, and now that he’d grown into his features, his delicate bone structure looked even more refined and striking.

His eyes and brows had that same calm intensity as Su Shen’s, giving him an air of cool detachment. But unlike Su Shen’s icy severity, Su Bing exuded something softer, more bookish—eerily similar to Xu Fan. With all the studying and science experiments he did, Su Bing’s eyes had taken a bit of a toll, and his teacher recommended glasses to help him see the blackboard clearly. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

So Gu Zi, ever the attentive mother, took him to get a pair. The moment they walked into the optical shop, the staff practically swooned. Everyone, from the receptionist to the store manager, was suddenly attentive, doting, downright fawning.

As a mother, Gu Zi couldn’t help but beam. Her handsome son really was turning heads. They got a discount too—courtesy of the besotted store owner.

She picked out a gold-rimmed pair for him, and the moment he put them on, Gu Zi was momentarily speechless. The clean, refined lines of the glasses framed his already stunning face, giving him a scholarly, distant aura.

He looked like a future cold-hearted CEO in the making. Just... devastatingly handsome.

Gu Zi couldn’t resist sneaking in a few more glances. What mother didn’t want her son to be tall and good-looking? Other people could only dream—she had the real deal.

But her maternal pride didn’t last long before annoyance crept in.

Gu Zi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

The girl continued, earnest as ever. "My dad is a military commander. Super impressive. Please let Su Bing be with me! I promise I’ll treat him well. We’ll even take care of you together in the future!"

Gu Zi sighed. This was too much.

She crouched down slightly to meet the girl’s eyes and said gently, "Thank you for doing so much for our Su Bing—even coming all this way to our home. I can see you really like him. But sweetheart, you’re both still so young. The future is full of possibilities. Right now, the most important thing you can do is focus on your studies. One day, when you’re in university, if it’s meant to be, your love will blossom. Su Bing is such an outstanding boy—he’s going to attend an excellent university, you know."

The girl blinked, then nodded thoughtfully. "That makes sense. I’ll study really hard too, so I can go to the same university as Su Bing! Thank you, Gu Zi!"

After that encounter, the confessions slowed down.

But something else happened—Su Bing’s class saw a noticeable surge in motivated female students.

That’s what the homeroom teacher said at the next parent-teacher meeting.

With a wry smile, the teacher added, "Su Bing is the best academic motivation for all the girls in our class. Honestly, he’s single-handedly lifted the class average."
