Chapter 53.2 Lovey-Dovey Part 2
Proofread by: DoraiO
Names mentioned in this chapter :
-?? (sù ruì) – Su Rui, our female protagonist
-??? (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead
Looking at the bright dazzling rays in Su Rui’s eyes, Gu Yu Cheng’s heart thumped and couldn’t help but curve into a smile.
“Alright”, Gu Yu Cheng responded without any hesitation. After a pause, he added, “I’ll make the arrangements.”
When Su Rui heard this response, a wide smile appeared on Su Rui’s face.
“Thank you, Yu Cheng~” said Su Rui as she gave a kiss on Gu Yu Cheng’s lips.
“What did you call me?”
Su Rui:….
“Yu Cheng”
“Change it.”
“Then … Dear?”
How could she not know what someone wanted to hear? But, heh, she was a person of principle.
Although this name was not what Gu Yu Cheng wanted to hear, his heart still skipped a beat in response to Su Rui calling him that and his lips could not help but curve into a smile.
“Yes.”
Looking at this expression of ‘reluctantly accepting it’ on Gu Yu Cheng’s face, Su Rui stared at him amusingly.
If she wore a cheongsam, what would Gu Yu Cheng wear? Suit? Tang suit[1]? No, it would be better to wear the Mao suit[2].
With Gu Yu Cheng’s appearance, he would look particularly handsome if he wore a well-ironed Mao suit.
Su Rui looked at Gu Yucheng with eyes emitting light. It was as if she had already imagined in her head how he would look in a Mao suit.
“What are you thinking about?” Gu Yu Cheng’s breathing deepened a little as he was stared at by Su Rui.
“It’s nothing.” Su Rui said with a smile.
Having sensed some of Gu Yu Cheng’s changes, Su Rui was now able to respond very skilfully.
However, just as Su Rui was about to take a step back, she was pulled into Gu Yu Cheng’s embrace. The hand on her waist tightened, pulling her a little closer to him.
“I’ll come over to pick you up tomorrow morning and we’ll go look at the engagement ring.” Gu Yu Cheng leaned close to Su Rui and said softly.
“Alright.”
Tomorrow was Monday though.
However, after starting the internship, Su Rui was considered an employee of Gu Company, so the Chairman, with a big wave of his hand, directly gave Su Rui a two-week vacation.
At the same time, Gu Yu Cheng also granted himself annual leave.
“Then,” said Gu Yucheng, “Let’s see what is missing at home and we will go shopping in the afternoon.”
The “home” Gu Yucheng said was obviously not the Su House, nor the Gu House.
It was the house at Apartment One, which was also the nest for the two of them for some time to come.
Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s words, Su Rui’s face warmed up a little. She nodded: “En, okay.”
“It’s getting late, you should go back quickly.” Su Rui said as she pushed Gu Yu Cheng.
“En.” Gu Yu Cheng responded and let go of Su Rui, but had no intention of leaving at all.
“Are there any clothes or items you use that need to be brought over here? You can sort them out and I’ll just drive and bring some back first.”
This was a good suggestion from Gu Yu Cheng.
It was true that many of the clothes and the things she used previously were no longer necessary. In addition, there were so many clothes and it would be good if she could bring some over.
But!
It will take a while to pack her clothes, and she will need Gu Yu Cheng to help her bring them downstairs.
When the time comes, ……
Su Rui was a little abashed when she thought about her dreamy, princess-inspired room.
“Oh, no need, there’s a bit too much stuff and I might need to pack for a long time.” Su Rui casually made an excuse to stall for time.
“It’s okay, I can wait for you.”
“Or,” with a slight pause and a glance at Su Rui, Gu Yu Cheng added, “Do you want me to help?”
No!
Su Rui finally succeeded in “refusing” Gu Yu Cheng’s good intentions.
But it wasn’t because of her.
Rather, it was because her parents, who had gone out for a walk, had finally returned.
“You’re back?” Mother Su didn’t just say this to Su Rui, she also took a look at Gu Yu Cheng.
Now, whenever she looked at Gu Yu Cheng, she was simply satisfied in every aspect, and she didn’t treat her future son-in-law as an outsider at all.
Especially when she hears about so-and-so’s daughter being ambiguous with an upperclassman again, or so-and-so’s son-in-law disappointed them again, with these comparisons, it makes Mrs Su feel that her own family’s (daughter and potential son-in-law) were especially good!
“By the way, have you had dinner? I’ve made sweet soup, have a bowl of it before you go.” Liu Yue said.
Originally, Su Rui thought that Gu Yucheng would refuse, but she didn’t expect that he would actually agree, “Ok.”
Afterward, Gu Yu Cheng stayed behind and discussed with Mother Su and Father Su about the engagement party before leaving.
……
Only after Gu Yu Cheng had left and Su Rui had returned to her room did Mother Su pinch Father Su’s arm in frustration.
“See, I told you to stay out more before coming back, but you still didn’t listen.” Liu Yue glared at Su Hong Yuan and said with dissatisfaction.
“Usually you’re not even happy when I pull you along for a brisk walk, but today it’s you who wants to scroll around more.” Father Su looked at Mother Su and muttered again, “Besides, didn’t you say before that you wanted to watch the 7.50 p.m. drama?”
“How is that the same? Didn’t I tell you that Rui Rui and Yu Cheng will probably be home around this time today and we will go back later?” Liu Yue continued to glare at the person sitting on the sofa.
Thinking about the scene that she and Lao Su happened to bump into when they returned home, Liu Yue still felt her old face was a little hot.
At times like this, not only were those from the younger generation feeling awkward, but the elders also felt the same.
It’s all because of Su Hong Yuan!
With such a glare from Mother Su, Father Su waved his hand somewhat helplessly.
“Yes yes yes, you did.”
“But,” Su Hong Yuan raised an eyebrow at Mother Su and added, “aren’t you afraid that we’ll be back a little late and something will happen?”
“What’s going to happen?! They are at home, what can happen?” Liu Yue said to Su Hong Yuan as she rolled her eyes.
Hearing Yue Liu’s words, Su Hong Yuan snorted lightly.
“That’s because you don’t understand men.”

Translator’s Notes: This unreliable translator has started updating again. I haven’t been feeling very well and I’m starting to feel better. Thus, the update frequency will be at tortoise speed, sadly.
But, like how I will usually say, I will work hard to update the chapters since I miss Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng so much. T^T Happy Holidays, everyone!!
Edit (04/01/2021): Sorry, I have realised that the previous version was very messy. Many thanks to DoraiO and the editors. ?
