Names mentioned in this chapter :
-苏芮 (sù ruì) - Su Rui, our female protagonist
-顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead
The interaction between Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng caused the surrounding staff to stare in awe, their eyes filled with amazement and excitement, with a hint of incredulity.
Then again, it was no secret that the chairman of the Gu Company and the Su family's young miss were dating.
Also, it's normal for a couple to be a little sweet or to have some intimate actions. But the heart of the matter was that this man was Gu Yu Cheng! The Chairman of Gu Company!
Most netizens, including them, secretly thought that these two were definitely in a marriage of convenience and there was no way that they were truly in love with one another. In the end, reality hit them right in the face.
Who said that rich people are all actors and actresses?
Who said that there is no true love in affluent families?
The next time someone on the internet says that Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui are just acting or in a marriage of convenience, they will definitely be the first to come out and refute it!
But then again, if one thinks about it, with his status and wealth, it seemed that he had long moved past the need for a marriage of convenience.
"Mr Gu and Ms Su."
Looking at Gu Yu Cheng walking over hand in hand with Su Rui, all the shop assistants, including the shop manager, became tense all of a sudden.
"The two of you have decided to choose this pair called 'Eternal' right?" The shopkeeper asked.
"Yes." Gu Yu Cheng nodded his head.
"Oh, and this ring is to be packed separately as well." Gu Yu Cheng said as he took out the blue diamond ring that Su Rui had been staring at for a long time before.
There could only be one pair of engagement rings [1] . However, since Su Rui liked it so much, she could take this ring back and wear it as an accessory in her everyday life.
After saying this, Gu Yu Cheng's gaze turned towards the shop assistant who was still holding onto her phone.
The shop manager's face tensed when she saw this.
"I'm sorry, Mr Gu and Ms Su. This is a mistake on our part." The shop manager hurriedly apologised.
As a high-end custom made brand like theirs, protecting the privacy of their customers was already a principle of the industry, and taking out a mobile phone to take pictures like they did just now was a big taboo.
The shop manager quickly pulled the previously nervous young shop assistant, who was currently staring blankly, beside her.
The young shop assistant, who had come to her senses, hastily apologized to Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui. "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I will immediately delete what I took! I promise it won't be leaked."
What she did just now was really an impulse that she couldn't hold back.
Moreover, she hadn't thought of posting it on the internet at all. It was just that for a moment, she felt like the scene was so beautiful and romantic that she couldn't help but take out her phone to record it.
Hearing her response, Gu Yu Cheng nodded his head and didn't give the young shop assistant a hard time.
"Photos?" Gu Yu Cheng asked.
"Er, a video."
"Before you delete it, send a copy to my email."
Gu Yu Cheng then looked towards the shop assistant and the shop manager beside her and said, "Good work."
The hint of smile that could not be suppressed at the corner of his mouth was enough to show that Chairman Gu is in a very good mood.
In the car, seeing a certain someone's mouth still raised, Su Rui couldn't resist but reached over and poke Gu Yu Cheng on the side of his face.
This time, not waiting for Su Rui to take her hand back, Gu Yu Cheng caught it in a flash and placed it on his lips to kiss the back of Su Rui's palms.
"I won't disturb you anymore. Focus on driving."
"It's not a bother."
"Gu Yu Cheng."
"Alright."
Gu Yu Cheng smiled and let go of her hand.
Su Rui looked at the navigation and said, "Looks like we are almost there. Turn right at that intersection up ahead."
Before this, whether it was Gu Yu Cheng or Su Rui, the two of them would rarely shop for household items. Even if they went shopping, Su Rui would mostly just go shopping for clothes with Tang Xiao and Liu Ling.
However, since this is their future nest, it is best to buy certain things themselves.
This was a place that Su Rui had looked up on the internet. It was said to be a very good mall, with a lot of things. The type of mall that has a wide variety of things that can all be bought in one place.
......
"Where do we go first?" Walking into the mall, Gu Yu Cheng looked towards Su Rui and asked.
"Hmm, let me see." Su Rui took a shopping guide from the shelf next to the information desk and quickly skimmed through it.
"Home furniture and home textiles are upstairs. The other items such as daily necessities and supermarkets are on this floor," Su Rui said. Looking towards Gu Yu Cheng, she added, "Shall we go upstairs first and then come back down?"
"Okay." Gu Yu Cheng had no problem with this.
Although the two of them were discussing what to buy, in reality, it was basically Su Rui who did the shopping while Gu Yu Cheng was beside her agreeing with her and being a mover.
"Yu Cheng, how about this cup?"
"Not bad."
"Then, I will have the white one and you will have the grey one."
"Okay."
"This... This pillow is so pretty, shall we buy one? Place it in the middle of the sofa?"
"Let's get three."
"Hm?"
"We can put two more on the bed."
"Okay."
"I'll do it."
