Chapter 3 I’ll Pay For This Young Lady
วันที่เผยแพร่:
2024-06-15 15:24:07Su Kexin knew that this restaurant was not cheap, but she did not think it would be this ridiculously expensive.
“If you have questions, you can check the bill, miss.”
Su Kexin was in no mood to check the bill. Of course, she knew that this restaurant would not try to scam her, but she was troubled because she just paid her mother’s medical fees yesterday, so she did not have that much money in her bank card. As for her credit cards, they were frozen a long time ago.
“Um…” Su Kexin gathered her guts, her face burning red as she said, “Could I… put it on a tab first?”
The waiter blinked for a bit, but then his expression quickly turned cold. “Sorry, miss, we don’t do that here. If you can’t pay, then I’m sorry but we’ll have to pursue other means to settle this.”
Su Kexin grew a little anxious and was beginning to think where she could borrow that sum when she suddenly heard a deep and melodious voice from behind her—
“I’ll pay for this young lady."
Su Kexin paused and turned around, only to see that the man in the wheelchair who had come in earlier was now right behind her.His expression was still cold and distant, but his hand was raised slightly, and he held a golden credit card between his well-defined fingers.
The waiter paused for a while as well, but he quickly recovered and took the card from the man respectfully.
"Mister, you don't have to…" Su Kexin finally recovered and wanted to stop them, but the waiter had already left with the card.
Su Kexin was somewhat at a loss now, but she knew that she did not have the money to pay the bill, so she could only look at the distant man and say awkwardly, "Um… I'll pay you back, mister. Could you give me your phone or bank account number? I'll transfer the money back to you soon."
It was only at Su Kexin's words that the man raised his head slightly, his gaze landing on her.
The man was clearly sitting in a wheelchair, but when their eyes met, Su Kexin felt as though he was looking down at her from above.
Su Kexin's heart gave a little jolt.
She was in the journalism field, so she had seen plenty of hotshots, but this man's aura still gave her an unspeakable sense of pressure.
Aside from that, the man's gaze was extremely cold as well, as though he did not care about anything that happened around him.
That confused Su Kexin even more. Why would a man like this help her of his own accord?
While Su Kexin was lost in her random thoughts, the man spoke slowly,
"Do you have a pen and paper?"
The man's voice was very low and somewhat hoarse, like the highest-quality swan down.
Su Kexin finally returned to her senses. She thought the man was going to write down his bank account number for her, so she hurriedly took a pen and notebook out of her bag and handed them to him.
The man took the pen and quickly wrote a string of digits on Su Kexin's notebook before returning it to her.
When Su Kexin took the notebook back, she blinked.
"What's this?" The string of digits on the notebook was clearly no bank account number.
"That's my phone number." The man handed the pen back to Su Kexin as well, his expression still calm. "You can call this number once you have the money."
Su Kexin's face burned.
She had to admit that this man was extremely smart. He could tell at a glance that she could not afford to return him more than five thousand bucks.
What she did not understand was why he gave her his phone number instead of his bank account.
Su Kexin was sensitive by nature, and her thoughts went further than most people, but she could not bring herself to ask too much either. All she could do was take the notebook back and say softly, "Thanks."
With that, as though worried he would not believe her, Su Kexin took out her name card and handed it to him. "This is my name card."
"Su Kexin?" The man accepted the card and looked down at it, slowly saying Su Kexin's name. His hoarse and deep voice was like a feather that tickled Su Kexin's heart, leaving a soft numbness behind.
"Yeah, I'll contact you later then." Su Kexin pushed away the strange sensation in her heart and gave him one final quick assurance before getting up and leaving the restaurant.

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
