In Gu Company’s chairman’s office.

“Chairman, this is the actual list of people for today’s banquet, as well as the final draft of the evening party’s procedure.” Wang Zhou said as he placed a document in front of Gu Yu Cheng.

Although today is the weekend, since there is a Wan Wei Charity Gala in the evening where Gu Company is one of the important organisers, so he had to work overtime along with the chairman.

“En.” Gu Yu Cheng took the document, but his eyes subconsciously glanced at the time on his phone.

The phone’s screen lit up. Wang Zhou, who was beside Gu Yu Cheng, naturally looked towards Gu Yu Cheng’s phone.

A flash of surprise instantly flashed across Wang Zhou’s eyes.

He didn’t see it wrongly, right?

The chairman’s phone wallpaper is a picture of Miss Su Rui!

The photo depicts Su Rui with her head down, and her eyes very focused on what she was doing. Unfortunately, it was half-blocked by the counter. One can’t tell from the photo alone what Su Rui was doing, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that the whole picture is beautiful.

Such a photo as a phone wallpaper seems to be quite pleasing to the eye. But the issue is: Chairman, this is your work phone!

If you want to show off your love and affection, you can use your personal mobile phone!

Wang Zhou shouted in his heart.

However, in the next second, he recalled that the wallpaper on the chairman’s personal mobile phone was also a picture of Miss Su Rui.

Previously, when Wang Zhou was handing the mobile phone to the chairman, he took a glimpse of it. It was a photo of Su Rui looking back under the red maple tree.

Seemingly sensing Wang Zhou’s line of sight, Gu Yu Cheng glanced coldly towards him and put away the phone.

“Let’s go. I will read the document on the road.” After saying that, Gu Yu Cheng also picked up that document as he put away his mobile phone.

He stood up and straightened his tie and shirt cuffs. Gu Yu Cheng grabbed the suit jacket from the side, which was obviously prepared for the evening banquet and prepared to leave.

Chairman Gu certainly couldn’t be going to the banquet venue at this moment since it was still early.

So the only possibility is…

“Chairman, are we picking Miss Su up now?” Wang Zhou asked from his conjecture.

Regarding the matter that Miss Su Rui will attend this party, the chairman has already informed all of Gu Company’s relevant departments. Of course, Wang Zhou, as the chairman’s assistant, knew about it.

But isn’t it a little too early?

Looking at the time, it’s only 3 o’clock. Wang Zhou couldn’t help but complain in his heart. However, he still kept his professional manner and arranged the driver to leave early.

When Gu Yu Cheng arrived at Su House at 3.30 pm, Father Su was trying to save his two small kumquat trees in the front yard. Seeing Gu Yu Cheng arrived so early, Su Hong Yuan was a little surprised.

“Is this going to be moved over there?” Gu Yu Cheng asked as he watched Father Su’s movements. He placed his jacket on the side and was about to come forward to help.

“No need. No need.” Father Su waved his hand, indicating that Gu Yu Cheng did not need to help.

This son-in-law, ahem, future son-in-law being diligent in front of the father-in-law. This strategy still hasn’t changed since ancient times, but anyhow it still made him feel more at ease knowing that it is the same everywhere.

Looking at Gu Yu Cheng, Su Hong Yuan nodded his head and was quite satisfied.

“Rui Rui is still probably busy at this point, so come inside and have a cup of tea with me. Father Su said.

After all, he met the parents and crossed the open road^[1] yesterday, so he obviously can’t let him wait outside anymore.

When Gu Yu Cheng heard what Father Su had said, he thanked him and said, “I noticed that Uncle* likes tea tasting and I just happened to find a bottle of black tea and brought it for Uncle*. Please try it.”

“Haha, this is very thoughtful of you.” Father Su smiled and beckoned Gu Yu Cheng into the house again, “Let’s go. Wait for her inside.”

After Gu Yu Cheng and Father Su had two cups of tea, Su Rui was also ready.

When Gu Yu Cheng saw Su Rui coming down the stairs, he finally knew why she wanted him to wear a light blue tie today.

At this moment, Su Rui’s face was wearing very glamorous evening makeup, and she was wearing a long light blue long dress.

In order to match Gu Yu Cheng, the dress Su Rui chose today was slightly more mature than the clothes she usually wore.

The design of the blue dress was very simple, but it outlined Su Rui’s figure in an incredibly graceful, stylish yet feminine way.

This dress had a halter neckline. And at the moment, Su Rui’s hair was tied in a low bun at the back, exposing her bare neck and at the same time, revealing the teardrop-shaped blue diamond necklace on her collarbone.

The blue diamond collarbone chain went very well with the light blue evening gown that Su Rui was wearing at the moment.

Of course, it also matched perfectly with Gu Yu Cheng’s equally blue tie.

Looking at this type of Su Rui, Gu Yu Cheng’s breathing stalled and there was undisguised astonishment in his burning gaze.

This dress was worn for him.

This knowledge made Gu Yu Cheng very excited.

In the next second, Gu Yu Cheng’s instinct overpowered his reasoning, he had already taken a step forward, took Su Rui’s hand and led her in front of him.

“How do I look?” Looking at Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui fluttered her eyelashes and asked.

Although the expression on this person’s face was very telling at the moment, out of the vanity of a woman, she still wanted to hear her boyfriend’s opinion.

“Very beautiful.” Gu Yu Cheng looked at Su Rui with a burning gaze. The corner of his lips quirked and answered truthfully, but his voice was a little tense.

Hearing that, Su Rui also had a smile on her face. She smiled towards Gu Yu Cheng and said, “Mr Gu is also very handsome today.”

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Gu Yu Cheng also lightly chuckled.

“Ahem, since both of you are ready, you can leave.” Comrade Su Hong Yuan, who had been at the backdrop for a long time by the side, finally couldn’t help himself and cough twice.

Seeing his daughter and Gu Yu Cheng like this, Father Su also felt it was quite good. However, he seemed to feel a little less comfortable the more he saw it.

“Go early and come back early.” Father Su exhorted again.

“Uncle*, don’t worry. I will send Su Rui back on time.” Gu Yu Cheng perceptively assured him.

Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s words, Father Su reluctantly nodded his head.

When they were about to go out, Gu Yu Cheng looked at the dress on Su Rui and suddenly frowned.

“Is that all you’re wearing?” Gu Yu Cheng asked.

“Of course not.” Su Rui smiled and added, “I just want to show you first.”

As she said that, Su Rui took the matching coat she had prepared early which was a thick and long coat.

The banquet hall is centrally air-conditioned, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be cold on the way.

Su Rui wasn’t stupid enough to maltreat treat herself.

Gu Yu Cheng left with Su Rui only after she put on her coat.

The shoes needed for the banquet are also matching.

“This pair?” At the entrance of the outer hall, Gu Yu Cheng asked as he followed Su Rui’s line of sight and looked at the high heels with crystals.

“En.”

Su Rui nodded her head. She watched Gu Yu Cheng raise his hand, took the pair of shoes, squatted down and placed them at Su Rui’s feet.

To ensure that she could walk properly, Su Rui’s dress was long, but the skirt wasn’t too complicated.

It is just that since it is long, it is still a bit inconvenient after all.

Looking at Gu Yu Cheng’s actions in front of her, Su Rui raised her eyebrows and astonishment flashed in her eyes for a moment.

“Thank you, Yu Cheng.~” Su Rui said with a bright smile towards GU Yu Cheng and raised her voice.

Su Rui suddenly remembered a statement she had read before: There is no such thing as an absolute steel straight man.^[2] On whether a man is able to do something doesn’t require him to undergo that so-called learning, but it is just whether he wants to do it or not.

Gu Yu Cheng laughed when she heard Su Rui’s voice.

“Be careful.”

Gu Yu Cheng helped Su Rui lift the cumbersome part of the skirt with one hand and held her hand with a little bit of force. He let Su Rui hold on to him and waited until Su Rui had finished putting on her shoes before standing up.

“What’s wrong?” Looking at Su Rui’s small movements, Gu Yu Cheng asked.

“I want to see how tall I am in heels compared to you.” Su Rui batted her eyelashes and spoke wistfully.

“Let’s go.” Hearing that, Gu Yu Cheng laughed lightly and said.

Mother Su only came downstairs after Gu Yu Cheng left with Su Rui.

“Both of them left already?” Liu Yue asked as she looked at Father Su after she had glanced at the living room and noted that the two figures weren’t present.

“They have left.”

“Why are they leaving so early?” Mother Su frowned and uttered.

Originally, she had even picked out a pair of earrings from her jewellery for Su Rui to wear.

This pair of earrings actually went pretty well with Su Rui’s necklace.

When Father Su heard Liu Yue’s words, he disagreed with her.

“Go early and come back early.” Father Su said.

Mother Su raised her eyebrows and silently rolled her eyes towards Father Su.

Anyway, she had gone through that before. It would be strange if they really came back early.

Liu Yue shook her head and looked at Father Su sympathetically. She decided that it was better not to poke fun at Old Comrade Su’s self-deception.

^[1] 过明路(guò míng lù)- The literal translation would be to cross the open road. It would mean that the matter has been made public and there is no need to hide it.

^[2] 钢铁直男[gāngtiě zhínán)- an internet slang that means a heterosexual man whose personality and temper is straightforward and he is not skilled at accommodating to someone’s needs. Even though they are a little inflexible and inarticulate, many people still find them endearing.
