2024-06-15 15:23:54Whoever that man was, the restaurant’s floor manager greeted him passionately as soon as he entered. The manager even wanted to push his wheelchair for him, but the man just lifted his hand slightly and stopped him.
The man’s expression was extremely cold, with a sense of distance that came from his very bones. Although he did not say anything, he emanated a powerful aura that made the toady manager and waitstaff surrounding him panic slightly.
However, that man ignored their reactions completely, controlling the wheelchair on his own and slowly wheeling himself into the restaurant.
“Miss Su, you took journalism at Z University?”
Su Kexin was still staring at that unknown man when Feng Zheng suddenly spoke from opposite her, pulling her attention back to him.
“Huh?” Su Kexin blinked for a bit before recovering. “Ah, yes.”
“Journalism major… and you’re 26 too. In other words, could you be in the same cohort as my ex?” Feng Zheng looked a little pleasantly surprised, as though he had discovered a new continent.
Su Kexin frowned imperceptibly.
Was it right to mention his ex at a blind date?
Before she could say anything, though, Feng Zheng’s next words made her expression change slightly.
“Hey, wait a sec. Su Kexin from Z University’s journalism course… Why do I seem to remember my ex mentioning that name before?”
Su Kexin’s hands gripped the corners of her skirt underneath the table, so forcefully that her knuckles turned white.
“That’s right, she did mention it before.” Feng Zheng did not notice the change in Su Kexin’s expression, lost in his own thoughts. Soon, he suddenly remembered something, and his expression stiffened as he stared at Su Kexin. “I remember now! You’re that Su Kexin! Su Kexin from Z University!”
Su Kexin turned even paler, but she tried to calm herself down, saying quietly, “Mr. Feng, I don’t know what you heard, but that was all a misunderstanding—”
“A misunderstanding? As if!” Feng Zheng looked at Su Kexin with outright disgust now. “My ex told me all about your little exploits! What the heck is up with that dating agency?! How could they match me up with a woman like you?!”
Feng Zheng’s voice grew even louder, and the customers at the other tables looked toward them. Su Kexin bit her lip tightly in fury and shame.
She really wanted to fight back, but what happened five years ago was a stain on her name that she could not refute.
“Bring the bill! Now!” Feng Zheng clearly did not want to spend one more second with Su Kexin, so he yelled loudly for the bill. The waiter hurriedly brought the bill over, and Feng Zheng pulled a coupon out of his bag without even looking at it, tossing it at the waiter. “Here, I’m paying with this coupon!”
When Su Kexin saw that crumpled coupon, she finally understood why she was “fortunate” enough to come for a meal at such a high-class restaurant. It was because Feng Zheng had a coupon.
“Sorry, sir.” To their surprise, the waiter looked troubled after he saw the coupon Feng Zheng had thrown at him. “This coupon has expired.”
“What?!” Feng Zheng’s expression finally changed, and he snatched the coupon back to look at it. He ended up looking even more upset.
“Um… Sir, could you pay?” the waiter asked carefully.
“Pay?” Feng Zheng stood up suddenly, looking agitated. “Why do I have to pay for a meal with a filthy woman? Hey, Su woman, I think you ate more than I did. You pay, then!”
With that, Feng Zheng did not give Su Kexin a chance to react. He quickly grabbed his coat from the chair and left the restaurant without looking back.
“Um… Miss?” Feng Zheng left too quickly, so the waiter had no choice but to turn to Su Kexin worriedly.
“It’s alright.” By now, Su Kexin had calmed down. “I’ll pay. How much is it?”
The waiter heaved a sigh of relief. “Five thousand and two hundred in total.”
“What?” This time, Su Kexin was completely dumbstruck.

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

There was actually a ring on Gu Chi’s slender ring finger.It was the simplest of designs, inlaid with some melee diamonds.Was this not the ring Su Kexin had bought and tossed into her dresser table drawer?Su Kexin was stunned, and she even forgot to sit down by the dining table. Eventually, Gu Chi raised his head and looked at her.“What is it?” Gu Chi asked, but when his gaze swept across her empty finger, he raised his brow slightly. “Where’s your wedding ring?”Su Kexin was left feeling a little awkward there.Earlier, she had thought that the ring she bought did not suit Gu Chi, so she did not wear hers in front of him either. What she did not expect was for Gu Chi to find the ring she had stowed away and even put it on.Su Kexin had no choice but to take her ring out of her bag, but when she put it on, she could not help but say softly, “Sorry, I just simply chose the design.”Su Kexin’s lips curved. “It’s alright. It looks good.”Su Kexin did not know what to say to that, so

“Open the door.” When Su Kexin still refused to reply, Gu Chi spoke again outside the door. “You dropped something.”Dropped something?Su Kexin’s confused thoughts were finally cut short. After some hesitation, Su Kexin finally walked to the bathroom door and slowly opened it a creak.Before long, Gu Chi’s well-defined hand reached in, holding a soft and white towel.Su Kexin was instantly stunned.“You came out here to look for this, right?” Outside the door, Gu Chi’s tone sounded somewhat amused. Inside, Su Kexin felt her face burn up.“Thanks,” Su Kexin said hurriedly, grabbing the towel in an instant and closing the door after.When Su Kexin emerged from the bathroom, wearing her nightclothes, Gu Chi had already changed into dark blue silk pajamas. He was sitting in the bed with a laptop on his lap, typing something quickly.Su Kexin was once more confused.Since Gu Chi’s legs were not working very well, she had thought that he would have plenty of servants helping him out with h
