“Oh right, I heard from my elder brother that Chairman Gu is on a business trip this week?” Tang Xiao asked.
“Mhm. For a week.”
“Hehe, then you’re finally mine again this week.” Tang Xiao gave a sinister smile and said.
Initially, she transferred to University B with the thought that she could form a group with Su Rui and leisurely wander about.
Who knew that she hadn’t even been able to ask Su Rui out once during the first two weeks of school in the end?
“Tang Xiao Niu, take note that you are a girl, can you stop smiling so sinisterly?” Su Rui glanced at Tang Xiao and said leisurely, “And it is not your week either, I have two electives in the evening.”“Hey, I’m afraid this plastic friendship won’t be easy to maintain.” Tang Xiao shook her hand and said with a pretentious expression.
“So you are free tonight, right?”
“Let’s go. Today, you will go shopping with me and I’ll let you off for the next few days.”
Liu Ling went home this week to prepare for the things required for her internship, and it just so happened that Su Rui really didn’t have anything planned tonight. Moreover, Gu Yu Cheng was also not around. So when she heard Tang Xiao say that she was going shopping, Su Rui agreed without any hesitation.
The manner the two girls strolled around the streets was that they would rather repeat a hundred stores and would definitely not miss one.
And then the result is…
“Su Xiao Rui, Su Xiao Rui, come over her! I saw this super nice one!” As they wandered into a shop, Su Rui was going to walk around and leave, but she was stopped by Tang Xiao.
The reason was that she saw a “dress” that would fit Su Rui perfectly.
“This is…” Looking at the black lace dress that Tang Xiao was pointing to, the corner of Su Rui’s mouth twitched a little.
“How is it? Isn’t it super sexy?” Tang Xiao had something in her mind winked at Su Rui as she said.
“En. It’s quite sexy.” As she said that, she faintly shot a glance at Tang Xiao.
“But are you sure this kind of dress can be worn out?”
“Cough, it’s not like I’m asking you to wear it out.” As she said that, Tang Xiao snickered and pulled Su Rui closer and whispered, “You don’t have to wear it out, you can wear it for your Chairman Gu to see.”
Su Rui: …
She really felt that she had been very calm when she was listening to the aunties and old ladies talking about those things between couples or their sons and daughters-in-law during the time when she was in the hospital bed in her previous life.
However, at this moment, hearing what Tang Xiao had said, her old face couldn’t help but flushed.
“You sound cocky?” Su Rui raised her eyebrows and looked at Tang Xiao, she felt that this chick was just doing it on purpose.
“Ahem, I’m serious, who said I did it on purpose?” Tang Xiao raised her voice as she said.
Well, she did have a tinge of deliberateness about that.
Actually, this wasn’t intentionally directed at Su Rui.
It was mainly towards Gu Yu Cheng.
In the eyes of others, Gu Yu Cheng is a super cold, abstinent and overbearing boss.
She was simply curious about how Gu Yu Cheng’s persona would collapse in front of his girlfriend.
“Hehe. “ Su Rui smirked.
Noticing that the staff had already turned her attention to this side, was clearly regarding them as customers who were going to purchase and was preparing to serve them, Su Rui very immediately pulled Tang Xiao and prepared to turn around and walk away.
Just then, Su Rui’s phone rang.
Looking at the incoming call notification from the name that already had changed to the two words “Yu Cheng”, Su Rui was somewhat nervous for a moment because of the topic Tang Xiao had been talking about.
“Aiyo. Looks like we can’t talk about people. Just when we mentioned him, he has already called you.” Tang Xiao raised her eyebrows and said nosily.
After glancing at Tang Xiao, Su Rui answered the phone.
“Are you done with your work?” Su Rui lowered her voice and asked.
“En, I have just finished a meeting.” Gu Yu Cheng responded. After a pause, he asked, “What are you doing?”
“I’m shopping.” Su Rui said.
At this time, Tang Xiao, who was beside her, deliberately leaned closer and said, “And we just happened to see a dress that fits her perfectly.”
Tang Xiao also took advantage that since it was through the phone, Gu Yu Cheng on the other end of the phone wouldn’t know who she was. That’s why she dared to act in a carefree manner. Otherwise, she would be wimpy if it is in front of Gu Yu Cheng.
Glancing grimly at Tang Xiao, Su Rui added, “With Tang Xiao.”
“That sister of Tang Jun?”
“En.” Su Rui answered, and sure enough, Tang Xiao was now completely quiet.
However, this side was quiet, and in the next second, Su Rui heard Gu Yu Cheng on the other end of the phone asking, “What kind of dress?”
Su Rui: …
“It’s just so-so.” Su Rui said dryly. She shot a glance at the “dress” in front of her.
Previously, she had taken it as a joke between her and Tang Xiao. But now, after being asked by Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui found that she was somewhat unable to look at this directly.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yu Cheng seemed to chuckle lightly.
“Buy it if you like it.”
Su Rui: No, she doesn’t like it!
Su Rui cried out in her heart with great certainty.
In the next second, Gu Yu Cheng, who didn’t know how the dress looked like, seemed to have skipped this topic and asked, “White or blue, which one do you like better?”
Aiyo, is there a pleasant surprise?
Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s question, Su Rui was slightly stunned, then she reacted and raised her eyebrows.
“Blue.”
“Alright.”
……
Because Su Rui was outside, so both of them didn’t chat for too long. But Gu Yu Cheng did particularly and repeatedly remind Su Rui that both girls shouldn’t stay out too late at night and to let the driver pick them up when they are going back.
“Okay, I got it, and you should rest early as well.”
Under Tang Xiao’s prying eyes, Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng ended the call.
As for what the surprise was, Su Rui didn’t get to ask in the end. However, she was looking forward to it in her heart.
It is just that Su Rui didn’t expect that before Gu Yu Cheng returned from City S, the other party gave her a big “pleasant surprise[1]” first!
To be precise, it was only ‘surprise’, not ‘pleasant’!
[1] 惊喜(jīngxǐ)-Pleasant surprise/surprise. This word has two meanings where it could mean ‘to be pleasantly surprised’ or ‘surprise’.
