UNEDITED
On the other side, Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui also arrived at the banquet’s venue.
Although both of them arrived relatively early, there were already a number of people that had arrived, as well as the news media that had been invited in advance.
Looking at Gu Company’s car parked in front of the entrance, almost everyone’s eyes darted towards this direction at this moment.
Without waiting for the doorman to come forward, Gu Yu Cheng had already taken the lead in opening the door and stepped out from the car’s back seat.
With such a nonchalant demeanour, it was indeed very “Gu Yu Cheng”.
Just that, in the next second, the crowd noticed that Gu Yu Cheng did not directly enter the venue but went around to the other side of the back seat.
He pulled open the car door and took Su Rui’s hand and led the person out of the car.
The expressions of many of the people around him became very spectacular at once.
Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng’s interactions hadn’t been intentionally concealing anything. Thus, the people in the circle were somewhat aware of the relationship between the two, and there were even some who heard the news earlier on that Su Rui would be attending today’s banquet.
It was just that the crowd was still surprised to see these two appear together.
Initially, before this, most people still thought that it is highly likely that the Gu family and Su family were cooperating through marriage. However, at this moment when they really looked at this beautiful couple, they realised that the relationship between Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui wasn’t a marriage to strengthen business ties or whatsoever.
They didn’t think so when they heard of it. But only after looking at them in person, they realised that Miss Su and Gu Yu Cheng are a matching pair!
Most importantly, how is their intimacy and chemistry between the two at the moment different from that of a couple in love?
After entering the venue, Gu Yu Cheng helped Su Rui take off the coat she was wearing outside and held it in his hand.
Su Rui raised an eyebrow when she sensed the curious or surprised looks cast around her.
“You dislike it?” Gu Yu Cheng lowered his head slightly and asked in Su Rui’s ear.
Su Rui just smiled.
“It’s not bad.”
“Just that,” Blinking her eyes and leaning closer to Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui whispered again half-jokingly, “Why do I feel like I’m here to declare my rights over you?”
Su Rui’s words weren’t exactly nonsense.
Even though all the people present were from the business circle and the media invited over were not tabloid entertainment media, it is expected that their relationship will be known all over the internet tomorrow with the influence of Gu Yu Cheng and the Gu Company and the fact that they attended the banquet in such a high-profile manner.
When Gu Yu Cheng heard that, he smiled.
“Same here.” Gu Yu Cheng smiled and said as he looked towards Su Rui with a fervour gaze.
After saying that, Gu Yu Cheng directly lifted his hand, wrapped his arm around Su Rui’s waist and brought Su Rui into the main hall. The rays in his eyes contained a bit of bravado and flamboyance.
Su Rui: !
Chairman Gu, shouldn’t you tell me in advance when you suddenly display your love and affection?
Su Rui said inwardly.
Feeling the heat on her waist, Su Rui could feel the slight heat on her face right now.
Fortunately, she was wearing evening makeup today and not only did the makeup artist add a layer of foundation, but she also added a layer of concealer, which allows others to be unable to see Su Rui’s flushed face.
“Chairman Gu and Miss Su, we meet again.” Someone came to Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng’s side to greet them.
The people who came were President Yu and Mrs Yu of the Jin Yang Group, whom Su Rui had met last time at the art exhibition.
Gu Yu Cheng had introduced them before, so both parties are considered acquainted.
“Mr Yu and Mrs Yu.” Su Rui smiled and nodded towards the two of them.
“Miss Su’s evening dress is gorgeous.” Mrs Yu looked at Su Rui and gave a meaningful glance at Gu Yu Cheng and said with an envious face.
Really not bad!
Although they are already married for a long time, Mrs Yu was suddenly very tempted when she looked at these two.
Why don’t she and Lao Yu try this “couple’s outfit” for the next banquet?
After chatting with Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng, Mr Yu led Mrs Yu away.
After that, several people came over to chat.
Most of them were introduced to Su Rui.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Before the banquet, not only did her parents teach Su Rui, but Gu Yu Cheng also did his research on the Su family’s social circle and business contacts.
Therefore, some companies that Su Rui did not need to associate with or that were in absolute competition with Su Hua Group were not specially introduced by Gu Yu Cheng.
“Is it boring?” Looking at Su Rui, Gu Yu Cheng asked softly. He paused and continued, “If it’s boring, let’s go over there.”
The direction Gu Yu Cheng pointed to was a side hall next to the main hall.
It is for the guest to rest.
Most of the people here are busy with pleasantries at the moment, so it was quiet over there.
“En. Let’s go over there.” Su Rui nodded.
When they walked to the side hall, there was no one there.
All of a sudden, there were only Su Rui and Gu Yu CHeng in the entire side hall.
“Are you tired?” Bring Su Rui in front of him, Gu Yu Cheng asked.
“I’m alright.” Su Rui smiled in a carefree manner and said.
After all, she had been “forced to work” once or twice with Mother Su, and she’s gotten very used to this kind of social gathering.
Gu Yu Cheng did not speak.
But at this moment, Gu Yu Cheng took a step forward. The hand that was holding Su Rui’s waist tightened its grip and brought her into his embrace.
Being close to each other, the atmosphere between the two of them became somewhat subtle.
Because of this posture, Su Rui’s hand was only placed on Gu Yu Cheng’s shoulder at the moment.
“What are you doing?” Slightly raising her head to look at Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui asked.
In the next second, Gu Yu Cheng had lowered his head and kissed Su Rui’s lips.
Unlike the previous few kisses that were like dragonflies touching the water lightly, the first deep kiss was not quite skilled but unusually ardent.
Whether it was her heartbeat or breathing that went haywire first, Su Rui couldn’t tell for herself. After staring blankly for a few seconds, Su Rui tilted her head slightly and responded to Gu Yu Cheng.
Realising Su Rui’s response, Gu Yu Cheng was startled, his mind was clamouring with excitement, and the hand on Su Rui’s waist subconsciously tightened a bit.
……
It wasn’t until her lips felt a little painful that Su Rui patted Gu Yu Cheng’s shoulder and lowered her head slightly.
“Yu Cheng…”
Understanding Su Rui’s meaning, although he was reluctant to part, Gu Yu Cheng still ended the kiss.
After lowering his head and giving a few pecks on Su Rui’s lips, Gu Yu Cheng still didn’t let go of the hand that was holding Su Rui.
It wasn’t until their breathing and state of mind had calmed down a bit that Su Rui heard Gu Yu Cheng said in a low and hoarse voice, “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. I was scared that I will scare you.”
Gu Yu Cheng lowered his head and looked at the person who was close at hand, and his gaze were searing hot.
At this moment, as he stared at Su Rui, Gu Yu Cheng never felt like this now where he strongly felt that this girl belonged to him.
Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s words, Su Rui didn’t know how to reply for a moment and blinked her eyes.
In the next second, the moment she saw a red mark on Gu Yu Cheng’s lips, Su Rui snorted and burst out laughing uncontrollably.
“Wait a moment. Don’t move.”
After laughing, Su Rui pulled out a piece of tissue paper from the small handbag she had brought. She pinched the tissue paper on her fingertips and carefully wiped the small lipstick mark that had stained Gu Yu Cheng’s lips.
Luckily, in order to match with the light blue evening dress, Su Rui wasn’t wearing any bright red or tomato coloured lipstick that she wore on their previous date.
Su Rui’s lipstick colour is more of a nude colour.
Moreover, considering that it might not be convenient to touch up her makeup at the banquet, and the banquet may last for hours, Su Rui also picked a lipstick that doesn’t fade off well.
She applied thinly and very carefully set the makeup.
Otherwise…
Su Rui couldn’t help but want to laugh again at the thought of someone possibly getting a mouthful of bright red lipstick.
“Done?” Gu Yu Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked. His tone was seemingly unconcerned about this.
“Just a little more. Hold on.”
Gu Yu Cheng didn’t get much lipstick on himself but in order not to embarrass Chairman Gu later, Su Rui still meticulously check Gu Yu Cheng again after wiping off the tiny bit of red stain on Gu Yu Cheng’s lips.
