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

Su Rui put her hand on the back of Gu Yu Cheng’s neck and subconsciously combed the somewhat tangled hair at the back of Gu Yu Cheng’s head.
“Yu Cheng.”
“Hm?”
“Isn’t your hair a bit long?”
Su Rui grabbed a small handful of Gu Yu Cheng’s hair and compared its length with the knuckles of her index finger.
It seemed to be a bit long.
Su Rui realized that Gu Yu Cheng really seemed a bit… unkempt lately. He just seemed a bit disengaged in taking care of himself.
When he heard Su Rui’s words, Gu Yu Cheng responded, “Okay.”
After a pause, he added, “I will have it cut tomorrow.”
“Then,” Su Rui said as she dragged her voice. She continued with shimmering eyes, “I’ll cut it for you when we get home tonight?”
Previously when they were engaged, Su Rui watched from the side when Gu Yu Cheng had his hair cut.
It didn’t seem too difficult.
Moreover, it seems like it would be kind of enjoyable?
A tiny spark of eagerness to give it a try flared within her.
It was mostly due to the fact that Su Rui rarely played with her phone and Gu Yu Cheng wouldn’t let her do anything else lately.
So whenever she heads back at night, Su Rui feels a bit too bored.
“Okay.”
Hearing Gu Yu Cheng agree without hesitation, Su Rui raised her eyebrows and asked, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll spoil your hairstyle?”
“It’s fine.”
“Then let me think about what tools I need to have on hand.”
“Let Auntie go buy whatever you need.”
“Okay.”
……
“Yu Cheng.”
“Yu Cheng?”
Su Rui called Gu Yu Cheng twice softly after feeling the strength of the arm around her waist loosened a little.
Then, somewhat unexpectedly, she found that this man actually fell asleep.
Su Rui very carefully pulled out from Gu Yu Cheng’s embrace and helped the person lean back against the backrest of the office chair.
“Just how tired is he…” Su Rui said softly as she looked at Gu Yu Cheng somewhat worriedly.
Turning around, she went inside the lounge and took a blanket out, covering Gu Yu Cheng with it.
……
When Wang Zhou knocked on the door and came in, he happened to see this scene.
“Sorry…” Wang Zhou said after freezing for a moment.
Su Rui shook her head indifferently and gestured for him to speak when they were outside.
Wang Zhou said with some embarrassment, “Sorry for disturbing the two of you just now.”
He was aware that Lady Boss came to the company today.
Last time, Su Rui would occasionally come over.
During the first few times, Wang Zhou would ‘consciously’ disappear when Su Rui was in the chairman’s office.
However, as time went by, he noticed that apart from occasionally abusing this little [single] dog, these two did not do anything ‘indecent’ in the office.
If they were, it would be in the lounge.
So as time went by, Wang Zhou no longer avoided them as much as he did at the beginning.
Plus, regarding company matters, the Chairman had no intention of hiding these from Su Rui.
Hence, when Su Rui was around, Wang Zhou would also come straight if there was work that needed to be reported.
It’s just that he did not expect to see this scene today.
Hearing Wang Zhou’s words, Su Rui did not mind it and smiled.
“I’m going back first. Help me tell him, once Yu Cheng wakes up later,” Su Rui said.
“Alright.” Wang Zhou nodded and added, “I’ll go and arrange a car for you.”
“No need, the driver is downstairs.”
“Then I’ll take you downstairs.”
Upon hearing that, Su Rui gave a faint smile, “I will trouble you then.”
“It is my pleasure.”
……
Walking into the lift, Su Rui asked, “Is Yu Cheng particularly busy lately?”
This was the first time she had seen Gu Yu Cheng in this state.
Apart from his nervousness due to her pregnancy, Su Rui felt as if Gu Yu Cheng was exceptionally busy.
Hearing Su Rui’s enquiry, Wang Zhou wasn’t too surprised.
Wang Zhou said, “There isn’t much business at the beginning of each year.”
The topic of conversation changed. He explained, “However, the chairman has recently brought forward several mid-year and second-half of the year projects for the near future.”
“Several big projects are starting at the same time, so there is indeed some pressure.”
In fact, Wang Zhou could roughly guess the purpose for the chairman in doing so.
The chairman wanted to seize this period of time to complete the start-up of several important projects this year, so that he could then easily accompany her giving birth.
Hearing Wang Zhou’s explanation, Su Rui’s heart was a little warm, but she was a little worried about Gu Yu Cheng.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Wang Zhou was Gu Yu Cheng’s assistant, and since Gu Yu Cheng was so busy, it should not have been easy for Wang Zhou, as well.
“No, it is something I should do.”
“Keep an eye on him. Try not to let him drink too much.”
“Don’t worry. I will.”
There aren’t many social engagements at the beginning of the year.
Besides, there’s no need for him to remind him, as the chairman would also not drink alcohol.
After all, when he returns home there is one… No, it should be two people that he needs to take care of.
With this in mind, Wang Zhou was a little envious of the chairman’s current married status.
Before he met Su Rui, Wang Zhou could never have imagined what it would be like for Gu Yu Cheng to find a woman to marry or even what kind of woman could stand beside him like this.
Now, it seems that it is really good.
From a man’s point of view, Wang Zhou felt that their chairman did not change, yet at the same time he seemed to be different.
His heart felt full.
Getting off the lift and walking to Gu Company’s front lobby, Su Rui said to Wang Zhou, “Just up to here would do. Go ahead and do what you need to attend to.”
“Be careful!”
Wang Zhou’s voice rang in her ears. Before Su Rui could even react, she suddenly felt a sudden and violent bump on her back, and the next second her whole body already lost its balance.
