After breakfast, Su Rui changed into a white shirt with a long black skirt, and put on a natural, but actually very elaborate barefaced make-up. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she nodded with a smile of satisfaction.
Gu Yu Cheng held Su Rui’s waist from behind and commented very seriously, “So beautiful.”
“Which part is beautiful?” Su Rui blinked and half-jokingly questioned.
“My wife is beautiful everywhere.”
“Gu Yu Cheng, don’t! I have applied powder there.” Noticing Gu Yu Cheng’s movements, Su Rui pushed his head away and stopped him.
The marks that were exposed on the outside of her clothes were only concealed after using several things, including concealer and foundation.
As for how the marks were there, one would have to ask Mr Gu.
But when she turned around and looked at the light scratches on the side of Gu Yu Cheng’s neck, Su Rui blushed a little.
Su Rui gently tugged at Gu Yu Cheng’s shirt collar and asked, “One more button?”
“En.” Up to you.
Helping Gu Yu Cheng button his shirt and staring at the man in front of her, Su Rui’s eyes shimmered slightly.
“Exceptionally handsome.” Su Rui said.
Upon hearing that, Gu Yu Cheng smiled.
“The person or the clothes?”
“Of course,” Deliberately dragging her words, Su Rui smiled and continued, “The clothes look good.”
Gu Yu Cheng is wearing the same shirt that Su Rui bought for him before they got engaged.
It was the same kind of simple and well-iron style that suited Gu Yu Cheng. However, unlike the usual unchanging and slightly formal shirts that Gu Yu Cheng wore at the office, this shirt had some details that were more casual and design-oriented.
Maybe it was because there was a real difference in the aesthetics of women towards men and men towards themselves.
Anyway, Su Rui felt that Gu Yu Cheng was particularly handsome in this shirt she had chosen.
Hearing Su Rui’s words, Gu Yu Cheng laughed softly.
The hand behind Su Rui’s waist tightened as Gu Yu Cheng moved closer to Su Rui’s ear and asked, “It looks good, want to try it on?”
Feeling slightly ticklish on her ear, Su Rui froze.
What was it?
A shirt?!
A certain thought appeared, and it was a forced knowledge that Su Rui learned from Tang Xiao.
Oh, I don’t want to…
“Come on, let’s get going or we’ll be really late.” Su Rui very righteously skipped that previous topic and said to Gu Yu Cheng.
“Let’s go.”
……
……
In order not to have any problems at the engagement party, the engagement was not announced to the public, apart from inviting friends and relatives who were close to them.
It was not until the morning after the engagement party that the news of Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng’s engagement was officially announced through both the companies from the Gu and Su families at the same time.
The marriage between the Gu and Su families was no small matter.
It was just that when the news was announced, the onlookers were not too surprised, and the thought in most people’s minds was: As expected.
After all, the little sweetness between the two can be felt through the photo that was sent out earlier.
There were also those who couldn’t accept it.
For example, Bai Xin Yu, who is in her temporary apartment right now, went hysterical as she held her mobile phone.
At the sight of Bai Xin Yu’s state, her manager felt very helpless.
“For the sake of a man, do you have to be like this?” The manager asked in a deep voice.
She really couldn’t understand it anymore.
In the beginning, she had chosen Bai Xin Yu because she thought that this person was hardworking enough in her music career and was aware of what she wanted to do.
When Bai Xin Yu said she wanted to return to China, she agreed.
Bai Xin Yu said that she wanted to revive her old love, but she thought that it should not affect her too much. After all, the route she had planned for Bai Xin Yu was the route through her abilities, so she did not object.
But what has Bai Xin Yu done since returning to China?
The fervour of the previous foreign music awards had almost dissipated, and Bai Xin Yu’s career in China had yet to take off.
She didn’t see a hint of career-mindedness in Bai Xin Yu’s performance during this period of time at all, only that this woman had become as crazy as if she had lost her mind.
“You don’t understand anything! That woman shouldn’t exist!” Bai Xin Yu yelled towards her manager.
Was Gu Yu Cheng engaged in his last life? To a woman who wasn’t her?
Why didn’t she know that?
It was clear that when she had returned in her previous life, Gu Yu Cheng was still all alone.
Or had she come back too early and something else would happen afterwards to make that woman disappear completely?
Thinking of this possibility, a glimmer of hope suddenly emerged in Bai Xin Yu’s eyes.
Only in the next second, it became scrunched up again.
Gu Yu Cheng had lied to her!
It was clear that Gu Yu Cheng only belongs to her. How could there be anyone else?! Even if he did in the past, I won’t allow it!
Looking at Bai Xin Yu’s insane appearance, the manager subconsciously took a step back.
“Yes, yes, yes, I do not understand your kind of idea of romance, but I have to tell you, your idea is too unrealistic.”
There was one thing that the manager didn’t spoil her bubble, she felt that Chairman Gu might not even remember Bai Xin Yu as a person, let alone have any feelings for her.
She even doubted what Bai Xin Yu had said, doubted whether Chairman Gu had really liked Bai Xin Yu.
Moreover, she was a passerby and had a good feeling about Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui, so if Bai Xin Yu really did what she called “trying hard”, she would think that Bai Xin Yu was worse than a mistress.
“You should prioritise your career now.” The manager sighed and finally could not help but advise again.
These words were like a wake-up call for Bai Xin Yu.
Yes, no matter what happened now, Gu Yu Cheng was still destined to be hers in a few years’ time.
Although this time her position has been higher than her previous life, it was still not enough.
She had to have an identity and reputation that was more worthy of Gu Yu Cheng than that Su Rui’s!
“Jie[1], I’m sorry, I was the one who was blinded by love before.” After a moment of silence, Bai Xin Yu raised her head and looked at her manager and said.
“The endorsement you mentioned before, I’ll take it.”
Although the manager did not understand why Bai Xin Yu’s sudden “coming to her senses” at that moment, she was still very happy to see Bai Xin Yu appearing to be back to her former fighting spirit.
It’s just that…
“Ay, that endorsement was only for MCC’s products previously, but now MCC has been bought by Zhou Group…”
“Do you know what I mean?”
Now that endorsement was not a matter of whether Bai Xin Yu is willing to take it or not, it’s a matter of whether she can compete with the others and be chosen.
Hearing the manager’s words, Bai Xin Yu’s face also darkened.
“I know, but don’t worry Jie, I’ll work hard and I’ll definitely get that endorsement!”
[1] 姐(jiě)-Elder sister. It is an honorific commonly used by juniors when addressing their seniors.
