Song Qingchun was pulled out of her thoughts instantly. She moved her gaze away from Su Zhinian and pulled herself up from her father. After she straightened herself, she opened her lips to say, "C… Su Zhinian."
The first name that came to her mouth was actually "CEO Su", but thankfully, the sibilant sound of C sounded just like S, and she managed to quickly change it to Su Zhinian.
From Song Menghwa's perspective, she and Su Zhinian had always been good friends. Furthermore, it was Song Qingchun who had convinced Su Zhinian to help Song Empire. If she called him CEO Su, it would have raised her father's suspicion.
Su Zhinian was more collected than her. There was no observable flaw on his body. When she greeted him, he took his gaze away from the chessboard to nod at her with a blank expression, a gesture to reciprocate and acknowledge her greeting before turning back to focus on the game.
