UNEDITED

When Su Rui arrived at Gu Company, she saw the person, who was already waiting at the entrance of Gu Company from a distance.

“Chairman Gu is quite a decent guy.” In front, Uncle Zhang who was watching the traffic, apparently also spotted Gu Yu Cheng who had recently come to the Su House very frequently and spoke.

When Su Rui heard that, she smiled.

“En. He is indeed.” Su Rui nodded her head and responded candidly.

However, there was a flicker of surprise in Su Rui’s eyes when she saw Gu Yu Cheng.

Last time when Su Rui came here, Gu Yu Cheng took her on tour in Gu Company. Other than introducing Su Rui to Gu Company’s projects, departmental divisions and functional settings, in fact, intentionally or unintentionally, he also introduced the layout distribution of Gu Company’s office building to Su Rui.

She somewhat remembered it. Actually, Su Rui was quite familiar with the Gu Company’s office building.

What’s more, Gu Yu Cheng’s chairman office originally had a special elevator to go up.

So Su Rui originally thought that after coming here, she would go straight up to look for Gu Yu Cheng.

But she didn’t expect that Gu Yu Cheng was waiting downstairs.

Even though she was surprised, it was quite heartwarming for Su Rui since her boyfriend came down to personally fetch her.

Looking at the Su family’s car parked in front of him, Gu Yu Cheng’s lips curved into a smile. Before waiting for Su Rui to get down, he first went forward to pull open the car door for Su Rui.

As Gu Yu Cheng looked at the girl in the car, he first bent down and took the bag that should contain the lunch box from Su Rui’s hand. Then, he stretched out his other hand to escort Su Rui out of the car.

“Have you been waiting for a long time?” Su Rui fluttered her eyelashes and asked.

“No.” Gu Yu Cheng said with a smile.

“Let’s go.” Gu Yu Cheng said and brought Su Rui into the Gu Company’s building.

Today was originally a weekend, and there were not many people working in the company, so it was naturally very eye-catching for the two of them to walk in.

“Chairman and Miss Su.” Seeing Gu Yu Cheng holding onto Su Rui’s hand as they entered, the girl at the front desk greeted them.

In her heart, she was muttering: Just now, she was a little confused when she saw the chairman rush out without Assistant Wang and he didn’t even wear a coat.

Now that he looked at Su Rui who entered, the receptionist only said it in her heart: No wonder.

So his girlfriend came to visit his workplace.

The girl at the front desk didn’t think it was shocking for Su Rui to visit here.

Let alone the fact that Su Rui’s identity as the chairman’s girlfriend has been solidified after the last time when the chairman brought Miss Su around Gu Company without concealing their relationship.

Also, yesterday, Chairman Gu and Su Rui both attended the Wan Wei Charity Gala in such a high profile manner. Moreover, before that, there was also an official announcement made by Gu Company.

So even if the two aren’t married yet, Su Rui’s identity is basically almost the same as the chairman’s fiancee or the boss’ future wife coming to the company.

Although it was nothing shocking, the girl at the front desk watched Gu Yu Cheng leading Su Rui away and still couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: This is love.

On the other side, after getting on the lift, Gu Yu Cheng held Su Rui’s other hand after fumbling around just now and being unable to find any band-aids or anything similar on Su Rui’s hands.

“It’s not serious; Really.” Su Rui couldn’t help but smile and said after she had perceived Gu Yu Cheng’s intention and noticing how he was a little anxious and stern.

“En. Let me see.” He lifted Su Rui’s hand and saw the band-aid on the fingertips on her left hand.

“Avoid being in contact with water.”

“Alright. I got it.” Su Rui winked towards Gu Yu Cheng and responded.

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Gu Yu Cheng didn’t immediately let go of Su Rui’s hand, but his gaze darkened slightly. He lowered his head and kissed Su Rui’s slender fingertips.

“Ahem. Chairman.”

“Er and Miss Su, Good afternoon.”

Wang Zhou stood at the door of the elevator, looking at the two people in the lift, and greeted them with an awkward smile.

He didn’t want to. He just wanted to see if the chairman had received Miss Su Rui. Who knew that he would coincidentally see that spectacular, peh, awkward scene?

He was also very aggrieved by the display of public affection for no reason.

“Do you need something?” Gu Yu Cheng’s gaze was cold as he looked towards Wang Zhou and asked in a deep voice.

“Uhm. No-nothing, I just… heard that a new cafe has opened. I’ll go take a look.” Wang Zhou found a random excuse and said.

After learning his lesson from the last time, the strong desire to survive made Wang Zhou figure out that during the time that Miss Su Rui was in the company, he should not appear in front of the chairman.

Gu Yu Cheng indifferently nodded.

“Go ahead.”

“Alright.” Wang Zhou responded. After a pause, he asked before preparing to leave, “Er Chairman, do you and Miss Su Rui need to order a cup of coffee as well?” “I’ve put the revised contract on the chairman’s desk.”

“En. I got it. You can go.”

Gu Yu Cheng didn’t care if Wang Zhou was really visiting the cafe, but he had already told the other person with his gaze that his lunch break visit to the shop had better be a little longer.

……

“Do you want coffee? I’ll make it for you.” After entering Gu Yu Cheng’s office, Su Rui looked at the other person and asked with a smile.

“No need.” Gu Yu Cheng said and added, “I’ll prepare it.”

“What would you like to drink?”

“Coffee.”

“Alright.”

By the time Gu Yu Cheng had finished making the coffee and brought it over, Su Rui had already cleared the office table and placed the food she had brought over earlier on the table.

Then, she set the plate on the insulated lunch box very ceremoniously.

Looking at the food that Su Rui had laid out on the table, Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes flashed with surprise and his gaze towards Su Rui deepened a little.

Sensing Gu Yu Cheng’s gaze, Su Rui also looked up towards him.

“It looks pretty good, right?” Su Rui smiled and asked.

“Very good.” Gu Yu Cheng said truthfully.

“Try it then.” Su Rui said as she handed the chopsticks to Gu Yu Cheng and took the chopsticks she prepared for herself.

She prepared lunch for two people, hers and Gu Yu Cheng’s.

The main dishes were made according to that recipe, but slightly adjusted according to Auntie’s suggestion and according to Gu Yu Cheng’s taste.

It should… be fine, right?

At least Su Rui had previous experience in cooking dishes like scrambled eggs with tomato, so it probably wouldn’t taste bad.

Su Rui still had this bit of confidence.

But it is just that as Su Rui watched Gu Yu Cheng take the chopsticks, she still had a little bit of apprehension in her heart.

This is somewhat like the teacher checking the homework she had brought.

“How is it?” Su Rui blinked her eyes, looked at Gu Yu Cheng and asked.

Although Gu Yu Cheng would probably say that it was good regardless of whether it was good or not, Su Rui was still curious about his reaction.

After eating a mouthful of food, a flash of surprise flashed in Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes.

“Very good.” Gu Yu Cheng commented.

Maybe it is because he had a filter where his girlfriend had cooked for him, but Gu Yu Cheng thinks that these dishes that Su Rui cooked were delicious.

Hearing that, Su Rui raised an eyebrow.

“Is that so? Let me try it too.”

Oh, it is okay.

The food is indeed made to taste alright as long as one follows the recipe and didn’t have any mishaps, but it is impossible to say that it amazed the taste buds and the world and whatnot are impossible.
