view moreWhen she walked into the restaurant called Little Jiangnan, Su Kexin was actually quite surprised.
She had heard of Little Jiangnan before. Each dish cost almost a thousand bucks; it was basically a place for rich people to spend their dough. She never would have expected her blind date to choose this place for their first meeting.
It was not that she never came to places like this. The problem was that this was her fifth blind date in three months, and all of her previous dates had chosen regular cafes or even KFC. Now that she was suddenly at such a high-class place, it made her feel a little ill at ease.
Still, that meant he was serious about this.
With that in mind, Su Kexin straightened out the corner of her skirt that had been crumpled on the bus ride here, following the smiling waiter into the restaurant.
The man she was meeting this time was Feng Zheng. He had arrived a few minutes earlier than her and was already waiting for her at the table.
To be honest, although Su Kexin did not have particularly high hopes, she was still inevitably disappointed when she saw him.
His face was so oily it shone, and he already had a bald spot. Although he had purposely put on a formal shirt, it was not well-ironed, so it made him look quite peculiar.
However, she had heard long ago that he was into research, so this was normal, right? A man should be judged by his character, not his face.
As she thought that, Su Kexin forced down that tiny disappointment in her heart and gave him a small smile, taking her seat.
“You’re Miss Su, right?” He clearly looked rather nervous too, and he kept wiping his sweat away with paper napkins. “I’m Feng Zheng. It’s very nice to meet you.”
With that, he held out his hand to shake Su Kexin’s.
“Nice to meet you too, Mr. Feng.” Su Kexin shook his hand and found it extremely sweaty. It made her a little uncomfortable, but she could not just pull her hand back either.
“You're 26 this year, right, Miss Su?” That Feng Zheng did not seem to notice anything wrong with Su Kexin’s expression. After he released her hand, he opened a file on the table and read it carefully. “You’re not young anymore. If we get married now, we’ll have to get working on having children.”
Su Kexin looked down and saw that he was looking at her profile. He probably received it from the dating agency.
Although it was the information she had provided, the way he appraised her like a product still made Su Kexin a little less than happy. She did not say anything, though, responding with just a quiet “yeah”.
The dishes were served soon, delicate local Jiangnan dishes that Feng Zheng immediately dug into. He even looked through Su Kexin’s info as he ate.
Since Feng Zheng was not talking to her, Su Kexin found herself sitting there rather awkwardly. She was wondering if she should say something when she suddenly heard the waitstaff behind her saying a loud “welcome, sir!”Su Kexin turned around, bored, but when she saw the man who walked into the restaurant, she could not help but stare.
No, it was not quite right to say he “walked” in, because that man who came in now was sitting in a wheelchair.
Nevertheless, that was not why Su Kexin stared. It was the man himself that left her dazed.
He wore a simple white shirt that was clearly well-tailored to fit his long and slender body. Above his graceful collarbones, he had a breathtakingly flawless face, sharp and defined brows, with every line on his face as beautiful as a carefully crafted masterpiece. He was utter perfection, and even Su Kexin, who prided herself in never drooling over guys, was a little lost in his gorgeousness.
Su Kexin blinked for a bit before she realized that Gu Chi was holding an electric razor. So his razor ran out of batteries, huh.Su Kexin immediately took the razor and looked at it before frowning. "It needs a button cell. Aren't there any at home?""I called and asked Uncle Wang, but it seems not.""We'll just have to buy some, then." Su Kexin peeked at Gu Chi. There was some black stubble on his chin, so he did need a shave. "Are there any convenience stores or supermarkets nearby?""No."Su Kexin was stunned. "None at all?"Gu Chi shook his head.For a moment there, Su Kexin felt defeated at the hands of these rich people. "What do we do now, then?" Su Kexin was quite exasperated. "Should we call your assistant to buy you one?""He's already on the road, and there's a really important conference today, so I'm worried he won't make it in time." Gu Chi frowned slightly. "I asked Uncle Wang. He has a new razor but it isn't electric, so I don't really know how to use it."Su Kexin
Su Kexin could not remember how she took a cab back to the manor.The entire way, Mimi's voice just reverberated in her mind—He was back…How could he be back? Why was he back…?He left so decisively back then, without even a word of goodbye. So why was he back now?Su Kexin was completely dazed and distraught. It was only when she walked into the manor and saw Gu Chi sitting in the living room that she forced herself back to her senses."You're back so early today?" Su Kexin was surprised. "Yeah," Gu Chi replied calmly. Just then, Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhang carried their luggage into the living room."Aunt Zhang, Uncle Wang, you're…""Young Madam, our son's getting married tomorrow. We're going to go join his wedding," Uncle Zhang said kindly."Really? Congratulations, then," Su Kexin said. "How long will the wedding be?""We're just having a banquet in S City, so we'll be back by tomorrow night." Aunt Zhang's smile was very gentle, but when her eyes fell upon Gu Chi, there was worr
In S City's financial district, the top floor of Chiyao Group Tower. Gu Chi sat behind his desk, his fingers flying across his keyboard. The numbers and figures on the screen changed rapidly as he typed. Ding-ring-ring.The phone on his desk rang suddenly, and Gu Chi pressed it without thinking. Yang Zuo's voice spoke over the phone. "Young Master Gu, Young Master Lin is here.""Let him in."The office door opened soon enough, and a man with pretty features and a garish pink shirt slipped into the room."You're still working, Gu Chi?" When the man saw Gu Chi, he exclaimed exaggeratedly, "I thought that since you finally got married, you would at least go on a honeymoon even if you skipped out on the wedding."Gu Chi's eyes did not leave the computer screen. He simply replied with two short words. "No time."The guest had already taken a seat at Gu Chi's desk. Gu Chi's cold attitude did not make him angry; instead, he narrowed his pretty eyes and chuckled. "Poor Sis-in-law, what did
Gu Chi looked at Su Kexin's back outside the windows and said thoughtfully, "Indeed, she's a little different."It was true that he did not expect Su Kexin to decline his offer so decisively.He had instructed Yang Zuo to investigate Su Kexin's past, and the results of that investigation told them that she should be a golddigger who could sell anything for a little bit of money. That was why he had chosen her, after all.A woman who could be placated with a little bit of money was much safer and easier to control than those so-called heiresses who were after his entire fortune. Of course, he had to admit that there was another reason he chose her. He simply did not hate her.This, however, was surprising. Was she really so disinterested in his money?Or was she even craftier than he expected? Was she baiting him?Gu Chi's gaze grew slightly darker and he finally drew it back."Get going."When Su Kexin arrived at the magazine company, the entire office was in chaos."Sis Kexin!" The
