Just as Su Rui was hesitating and drafting how to tactfully express her concerns in her head, Gu Yu Cheng’s voice sounded from the doorway.
“Keep it.”
This was what Gu Yu Cheng said.
When Su Rui heard this sentence, Su Rui and Yu Jing gazed towards the door of the room. Sure enough, they saw that Gu Yu Cheng was standing at the door of the room right now.
“I am talking to Su Rui here. What are you doing up here and not talking to your dad downstairs?” Mrs Gu raised her eyebrows and said as she glared at Gu Yu Cheng.
What is your problem? He is afraid that I will make things difficult for his girlfriend?
How is that possible?
It is not like she is the typical evil mother-in-law in those television shows. Besides, this is the little girl she approved of, alright?
Originally, Mrs Gu also wanted to talk about a few topics relating to Gu Yu Cheng. But now that everyone was present, Mrs Gu couldn’t say anything else and simply smoothly took out a very dated photo album from the box again.
“I still have the old pictures in our house. Would you like to see, Rui Rui?”
Su Rui didn’t refuse, so she listened as Yu Jing flipped through the photo album and introduced it to Su Rui page by page.
In the album, there were a few family portrait photos.
Just like what Mother Su had said before, the Gu family was a big family, but the relationships between family members and relatives weren’t that complicated.
Listening to Yu Jing’s explanation, Su Rui compared it to the latest photo and jot down the name of the person in the photo and his relationship with Gu Yu Cheng.
“Oh yes, here are a few pictures of Yu Cheng. Come, Rui Rui, you can take a look at them.”
Taking the photo from Yu Jing’s hand, Su Rui also saw the photos of Gu Yu Cheng in the album.
This person probably really dislikes taking formal photos, so there weren’t many photos of Gu Yu Cheng in the photo album and most of them were school photos.
Junior high school graduation photo, High school entrance photo, a photo of Gu Yu Cheng graduating from university as a representative of outstanding graduates.
The person in the photo was about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, and his appearance looked a little younger than he does now. But overall he looks about the same.
Su Rui looked at the photo and then looked up to look at Gu Yu Cheng.
As expected, the man had been a full-blown excellent entrepreneur in university.
“Do you prefer the way I looked back then?” Looking at the way Su Rui was staring at his photo with glistening eyes, Gu Yu Cheng raised his eyebrows, sat next to Su Rui and asked.
After all, the current Su Rui was only twenty years old, and at the age of attending university, it is probably normal that she would prefer boys of the same age.
Gu Yu Cheng said inwardly.
It is just that why does he still feel a little uncomfortable thinking about that possibility?
Gu Yu Cheng’s gaze moved slightly, but he saw Su Rui raised her head and smile at him, “No, I like the current you.”
Even though her rebirth had allowed her to appear 20 years old again, Su Rui’s mental age was already twenty-five or twenty-six.
Even in the past, Gu Yu Cheng was just as mature and reliable, but she wouldn’t necessarily like him if she really met the twenty-one-year-old Gu Yu Cheng.
Even though Gu Yu Cheng did not know the real reason why Su Rui had said this, Gu Yu Cheng was still delighted by her words unsurprisingly.
“What do you like?” Gu Yu Cheng lowered his voice and asked in Su Rui’s ear.
“En. Let me think. I like your maturity, composed, handsomeness and career-mindedness?” Su Rui pondered and said. As he looked at Gu Yu Cheng, she added a sentence in her heart: And you are of marriageable age.
As she said that, Su Rui had flipped to the last page of the album.
“Eh, is this you as well?” Pointing to the photo album of a handsome little boy in a suit, Su Rui looked at Gu Yu heng and asked.
Upon hearing that, Gu Yu Cheng gazed towards the photo.
“En. It should be a photo from when I was four or five years old and attending kindergarten.” This one should be considered one of the few photos of Gu Yu Cheng from his early childhood.
“So cute!” Looking at the little boy with a cool face, Su Rui couldn’t help but exclaim with glistening eyes.
“I’m cute?” Gu Yu Cheng leaned over and asked in Su Rui’s eyes.
“Oh, not really. I just think kids are very cute at this age.” Su Rui said.
“So let’s give birth to one?” Gu Yu Cheng said with a soft laugh.
Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s words, Su Rui’s face heated up.
It is beyond her abilities[1] to discuss this topic now.
Su Rui thought and only then did she realise that Mrs Gu was no longer in the room after she had looked up.
“Where’s Auntie?” Su Rui looked at Gu Yu Cheng and asked.
“She had just gone down.” Just as Su Rui was looking at the photo seriously, Yu Jing shot Gu Yu Cheng with a meaningful glance and headed downstairs.
“Then, let’s go downstairs too.” Su Rui put the photo album away and handed it to Gu Yu Cheng as she said.
However, before putting away the photo album, Su Rui couldn’t resist and took out her phone and took a picture of that super cute four-year-old Gu Yu Cheng with her phone.
Watching Su Rui’s small movements, Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes were all smiles and didn’t stop her.
“Let’s go.” Keeping the photo album, Gu Yu Cheng pulled Su Rui up from the sofa.
