"Where are Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui?" Tang Jun asked Zhou Zi Yuan a bit oddly. After having a couple of drinks with the chairman in the banquet, he did not see Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui after circling the place.
"They had left."
"They left so early?"
"It's good that they have left. If they don't leave, my teeth were going to rot from all that sweetness." Zhou Zi Yuan grumbled grudgingly.
Forget about the little girl, Su Rui. Zhou Zi Yuan had never thought that one day Gu Yu Cheng would make one so uh... jealous.
The power of love is terrifying.
That's not the Gu Yu Cheng he knows!
Or it should be said that Gu Yu Cheng's most genuine side would only be revealed in front of his lover.
"Sigh. I don't know what he had to attend to. It wasted my efforts in trying so hard to create opportunities for him."
"What opportunities?"
"Setting fire on the dry firewood." As Zhou Zi Yuan said that, he lowered his voice and rambled about it.
Tang Jun rolled his eyes when he heard Zhou Zi Yuan's response, "Do you think Lao Gu will be willing to let Su Rui drink?"
......
On the road, Su Rui was still puzzled. It wasn't until she was brought to One Residence by Gu Yu Cheng that she finally figured out what this guy wanted to do.
"Your apartment?" Su Rui looked at Gu Yu Cheng and asked, but her heart flashed with a tinge of oddness and mixed with a hint of inexplicable nervousness.
"En." Gu Yu Cheng nodded and whispered in Su Rui's ears, "Ours."
"Yu Cheng..."
"Go in and have a look first."
After saying that, Gu Yu Cheng took out the key and opened the door of the apartment.
Once the door opened, the first thing Su Rui smelled was a faint fragrance of roses.
As the lights in the house came on, the full view of the room fell into Su Rui's eyes.
The entire apartment was large, bright and spacious. It has a dining room, an open kitchen and even the bedroom was semi-open.
However, this style clearly didn't make it feel cold.
On the whole, the hues in the house are mainly minimalist colours, and all of the furniture is in walnut wood which makes one feel comfortable looking at them.
It feels cosy and inviting.
And!
It's the kind of style she really likes!
"Gu Yu Cheng, you——!"
"Have a look inside?" Looking at the surprise on Su Rui's face as well as the hint of surprise that could not be ignored, Gu Yu Cheng laughed in his heart with great satisfaction.
As he said that, he led Su Rui and brought her into the house.
Su Rui hadn't returned to her senses, and she had already been brought into the house by Gu Yu Cheng.
Walking into the house, Su Rui intuitively felt that a lot of care and attention had gone into the decoration of the entire apartment.
There was a bouquet of roses in a vase on the dining table, which should have been the source of the floral fragrance Su Rui had smelled the moment she opened the door.
Also, Su Rui saw a very familiar drawing in the room.
Isn't this the one she drew in Gu Yu Cheng's office previously? It was even framed and hung on the wall in the bedroom.
In this way, the significance of this apartment is self-evident...
"Are you satisfied?" Gu Yu Cheng lowered his head slightly and gently asked. He embraced Su Rui from behind.
Satisfied! Very satisfied!
Looking at this ideal home, Su Rui was almost tempted to nod her head.
But it wasn't even a question of being satisfied or not, was it?!
Su Rui was about to speak and hesitated as she contemplated on how to phrase it. However, she heard Gu Yu Cheng say, "Because of the time constraints and the considerations of moving in, only most of the soft furnishing has been redecorated. So if there is anything you don't like, we can see to it slowly afterwards."
"This apartment has all the basic electrical appliances."
"For clothes and some other daily necessities, I am not sure of your habits and preferences, so it's all right to get it from your home or rebuy them."
As he said that, Gu Yu Cheng had already stood in front of Su Rui. Then, he carried her and placed her on the table. He slightly leaned forward to rest his forehead on Su Rui's forehead as their eyes met each other.
"This place is very close to the company. In the morning, you can sleep until 8 am. Then, you can get up, and we can go to the company together." While he was saying this, he gave Su Rui a peck on her lips and added, "If you have something you have to deal with in school, it's not very far. I can drive you there..."
"Yu Cheng." Su Rui interrupted him as her fingertips lightly stroked on Gu Yu Cheng's face.
"The whole thing about us living together seems a little too fast." Su Rui said with her brows slightly furrowed.
Even though Su Rui had considered this matter when she heard Tang Xiao mentioned this before, it was still a little sudden for Gu Yu Cheng to bring her here today.
Thus, she had to think about it a little more.
Cohabitation is not the same as dating.
Both of them will always show their best side to one another in the early stages of a relationship.
However, if they are living together, more sides of themselves, such as the good, bad and even personal, would be revealed to the other.
Frankly speaking, this kind of matter made Su Rui a little nervous and even scared since this was the first time she was dating someone.
Not only that, but there are many issues to consider as well.
Barefaced, hair in the bathroom, dirty clothes that need to be washed, habits of putting things away, sleeping patterns...
And so on.
In short, big and small issues would pop up.
It is normal for the two people to go from living separately to living together to face hurdles along the way.
It was just that Su Rui wasn't sure whether their understanding of one another would be sufficient to naturally accept these issues to the extent of being able to achieve getting used to one another and congeniality amongst them.
However, it was apparent that Gu Yu Cheng had already considered the problems that Su Rui could think of.
Thus, before Su Rui could voice out these concerns, Gu Yu Cheng had already spoken first.
"If you aren't used to it, we won't hire a housekeeper here. If it is required, I can learn to cook, or we can eat out or eat at the office."
"As for the issues of daily habits, I'm not sloppy or germaphobic. I don't have any strange habits or bad habits."
"Other than that, I'll try to change if it makes you uncomfortable."
"You don't have to have any burdens or fears." Gu Yu Cheng said as he kissed Su Rui reassuringly.
Gu Yu Cheng's words weren't flowery at all, but inexplicably they chipped away the worries in Su Rui's heart.
"So move in with me?" Gu Yu Cheng softly said with an expectant tone in Su Rui's ear.
Her heart started racing a little faster. As she listened to Gu Yu Cheng's words, she almost couldn't hold herself back to say "yes" in response.
"Well?" Gu Yu Cheng asked again.
At this moment, Gu Yu Cheng still persevered.
And listening to Gu Yu Cheng's voice becoming increasingly hoarse and feeling the heat increasing in his breath, Su Rui's heart thumped. She somewhat felt nervous all of a sudden.
Sure enough, in the next second, without waiting for Su Rui to agree or disagree, Gu Yu Cheng had already tightly gripped Su Rui's back. He stepped forward and deeply kissed Su Rui's lips.
If Gu Yu Cheng was said to be still restrained in the afternoon at the office, then at this moment Gu Yu Cheng was about to "be released".
The kiss came too strong and fervent, and for one moment, it made Su Rui feel a hint of unfamiliarity with such a Gu Yu Cheng.
Su Rui could feel Gu Yu Cheng's impatience that was a little overwhelming at the moment as well as him testing the waters to cross over the mine.
Su Rui clearly grasped Gu Yu Cheng's current thoughts:
This man wants to go on!
