“That….” Su Rui’s face turned red as she opened her mouth. She really didn’t know what to say.
“I’ll heat it and drink it later.” As he saw Su Rui’s awkwardness, he hid the disdain towards the ‘soup’ from his eyes and said with his normal expression.
“Mm, ok.” Su Rui tactifully accepted this reasoning.
“You——”
Before Gu Yu Cheng could speak, Su Rui said, “Go ahead and with your work.”
“I’ll leave now.” Su Rui smiled to hide the awkwardness on her face.
“I’ll give you a ride?”
“There is no need. Your family’s driver is still downstairs.”
As she said, Su Rui initially wanted to habitually make a few polite remarks, “Remember to drink the soup.” but as she glanced at that barrel, Su Rui stopped herself from saying it.“I’ll go now.”
“I’ll take you downstairs.”
Gu Yu Cheng insisted on taking Su Rui downstairs.
They took his personal lift.
It’s just that to head towards the personal lift, they would have to pass by the rest area.
When both of them were walking by the rest area, there were several female voices.
Coincidentally, they were talking about her.
Su Rui stopped on her feet.
“You said you saw Assistant Wang brought someone up to the office?”
“En, it seems that she was sending something. She held a vacuum flask”
This already became Su Rui’s trigger for awkwardness.
Su Rui muttered in her heart. Yet, she heard the tone of the people inside becoming more excited.
“Cheh! It’s that type again. I just don’t understand why these rich ladies are so shameless.”
“It may not necessarily be this time. Didnt you see that she already went up? And I also saw that the car parked in front of the main door is the Gu family’s car.”
“This time, the woman should be sent by Mrs Gu. “
“Heh, so what about it? Why don’t you think that other than the people that automatically stick towards him, how many daughters of wealthy families did Mrs Gu introduce to Chairman Gu? Who did Chairman Gu take a fancy to?”
“To lick his face several times[1], aren’t they all chased out?”
“That makes sense!”
“Then you say, could Chairman Gu not consider marriage and marry a daughter of a wealthy family ah.”
“That’s for sure. These daughters of wealthy families are so hard to please. Besides, such a large enterprise as the Gu company, why would they need marriage to strengthen their connections?”
When they were talking, a fierce look flashed through Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes. When he was about to head inside to see which employee would be so free to ‘chat’ in the company, he saw Su Rui had already taken a few steps forward.“Su Rui.”
“So…” As Su Rui looked at Gu Yu Cheng, she thought and asked, “What they have said is true?”
Regarding Su Rui’s question, Gu Yu Cheng frowned.
“In what way?”
“You don’t intend to start a relationship or even get married through a blind date?” Su Rui asked.
She felt a little weird.
From what they have said, it should mean this right.
When Gu Yu Cheng heard what Su Rui had said, his expression became more solemn.
“Indeed, I…” Gu Yu Cheng admitted with a dry voice.
He didn’t consider getting married.
“Su Rui.” Gu Yu Cheng looked at Su Rui and said.
“That… Mr Gu…”Even though she was extremely embarrassed at the moment, Su Rui tried to look calm when she looked at Gu Yu Cheng.
