Names mentioned in this chapter :
-苏芮 (sù ruì) – Su Rui, our female protagonist
-芮芮 (ruì ruì)- Rui Rui, a nickname of the female protagonist
-顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead
-唐笑(táng xiào) – Tang Xiao, Su Rui’s friend and daughter of the chairman of Tang Jing Group
-白欣雨(bái xīn yù)- Bai Xin Yu, aka Siria
-顾大福 (gù dà fú)- Gu Da Fu. The literal translation would be Gu Big/Great Blessing. The nickname Su Rui has suggested.
It was only when the woman in his arms was breathing steadily and he knew that Su Rui was sound asleep did Gu Yu Cheng open his eyes again.
There were some emotions that he could not reveal in front of Su Rui.
This incident that happened today was still on Gu Yu Cheng’s mind until now.
Therefore, he could not sleep at all during this time.
Originally, Gu Yu Cheng thought that, since he couldn’t sleep, he might as well just handle some work, so that he could spend more time with Su Rui.
But Gu Yu Cheng realized that Su Rui’s arms that were around his waist were tightly gripping his clothes when he wanted to get up.
That was a sign of her seeking a sense of security.
Actually, Su Rui’s heart was far from being as calm as she appeared to be.
When she was awake, she could still pretend that she was (calm).
After she fell asleep, there was no way to put on any pretence out of subconscious manifestations.
“I’m sorry.” For not protecting you.
……
Later, Su Rui stayed in the hospital for three more days for observation. She was discharged after the examination showed she is doing fine.
In the past few days, Gu Yu Cheng’s company affairs did not stop, except that most of the things he handled were moved to the hospital.
Su Rui didn’t ask much about how Gu Yu Cheng dealt with Bai Xin Yu’s matter.
However, Su Rui was relieved, knowing that the case had been referred to the prosecutor’s office for intentional assault and that a lawsuit had been filed.
The verdict would probably be issued in a month or two.
Su Rui was not worried about the outcome of the verdict.
As for whether she will accept a settlement in the process?
Of course not!
Regarding Bai Xin Yu’s behaviour, Su Rui contemplated and could only come up with two reasons: either this person was delusional or mentally ill.
She would be stupid if she were to agree on a settlement with this kind of person and then leave this as ‘risk to society’.
Apart from the follow-up to Bai Xin Yu’s case was not yet settled, Su Rui already recovered after three days.
She had gone from pretending to be calm to genuinely feeling calm.
Gu Yu Cheng, on the other hand, was still worried.
No, it should be said that he was even more strained than before.
……
As Su Rui looked at a certain someone’s unchanged taut face, she couldn’t help but poke it with her finger.
Holding Su Rui’s hand, Gu Yu Cheng turned his head and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing,” Su Rui smiled and added, “just a sudden thought.”
“Say, do you think that we should nickname him ‘Da Fu (Great Blessing)’ if he is a boy?” Su Rui asked.
Gu Yu Cheng froze.
“Da Fu?”
“Mhm. It means that there will be blessings after a great disaster.” Su Rui nodded and said in a feigned serious manner.
However, if the one born was a little princess then forget it.
Although it was a nickname, such an unpleasant sounding name was inappropriate for a girl.
Sure enough, the corner of Gu Yu Cheng’s mouth twitched uncontrollable when he heard Su Rui’s seriously spouting nonsense.
“Really. Look, our family’s Da Fu is still healthy and well after going through such a twist and turn. Isn’t that because he has a great fortune?”
Even though the name sounded a bit like a gold necklace seller.
Gu Yu Cheng carried Su Rui and placed her on his lap. He softly chuckled and said, “Sure, it is up to you.”
“Really?”
“En.”
“Really call him ‘Da Fu’? Gu Da Fu?”
“En.”
“Let’s forget it then.”
“What’s wrong? Do you dislike it?”
“It’s too unpleasant sounding.”
As she said that, she let out a sigh, looked at Gu Yu Cheng and said, “I just want you to ease up a little.”
Hearing Su Rui’s words, Gu Yu Cheng’s expression got tense again.
“I know,” after a pause, Gu Yu Cheng added, “I’m sorry for making you worry.”
Su Rui pinched Gu Yu Cheng and feigned a glare as she said, “You know that I am worried yet you still pull a long face.”
“Sorry, I’ll quickly adjust myself.” Gu Yu Cheng assured as he looked at her.
“En. Take it easy.”
“Also, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.” Regarding this matter, Su Rui was talking about Gu Yu Cheng’s company.
Gu Yu Cheng was already anxious these days, and he also arranged the company’s affairs in such a hurry.
If things went on like this, she was a little worried that this person might get prenatal depression.
“Okay.” Gu Yu Cheng nodded, kissed Su Rui and said, “Don’t worry.”
“En.”
“Then…” Su Rui said as she inched closer to Gu Yu Cheng’s ear. She said very softly, “Do you want me to help you relieve it?”
Once Su Rui said this, it was obvious that Gu Yu Cheng’s entire body tensed up.
“Rui Rui, fool around!”
Even Gu Yu Cheng, himself, was not confident about his self-restraint now.
Su Rui also did not expect that this one sentence of hers would cause Gu Yu Cheng to give such a big reaction.
If this were to happen, she really would not dare to do so.
Originally, it was still a ‘dangerous period’ so something might happen if the two of them don’t take it seriously.
Su Rui changed the topic and said, “Right, I’ll cut your hair when we get back. Did you forget about this?”
“I haven’t forgotten. If you want to cut it, you can do so anytime.” Gu Yu Cheng said with a smile.
“It is fine to do it now?”
“Sure.”
“Hold on, let me get the tools.”
“Slow down.”
As Gu Yu Cheng said that, he stopped Su Rui from getting off of him and stood up, “Where is it? I’ll go and get it.”
“It should be on the cupboard over there by the entrance. I asked Auntie to put it there first.”
