In front of the wardrobe, Su Rui held the black shirt she picked out for Gu Yu Cheng and asked, “Yu Cheng, can you wear this today?”

A man’s preferences were sometimes similar to his personality, single-minded and persistent.

This was one of the things Su Rui noticed about Gu Yu Cheng when they lived together.

Therefore, occasionally Su Rui would help Gu Yu Cheng match the clothes he needed to wear when he goes out.

Of course, this was only when she didn’t have to get up early to go to school, or when Gu Yu Cheng had important meetings or special events.

Other times, there were “special circumstances” such as today.

“Okay.” Looking at the set of clothes Su Rui took out, Gu Yu Cheng did not hesitate to take them and put them on.

……

Su Rui walked in front of Gu Yu Cheng and helped him fasten the second button for him. Su Rui looked at the man in front of her. With a sincere gaze, she said in a serious manner, “You are still really very handsome!”

At the same there, there was also a hint of guilt and appeasement.

Actually, it wasn’t exactly guilt.

In all seriousness, apart from the fact that she was a little not used to his appearance, Gu Yu Cheng’s appearance was truly handsome from a female aesthetic point of view.

The woman’s expression was so vivid that Gu Yu Cheng couldn’t help but chuckle. He raised his hand to hold Su Rui’s waist and pulled her into his arms.

“As long as you feel it is good,” he gently said as he placed a kiss on Su Rui’s forehead.

“I have a meeting with Teng Yuan and Tong Hua this morning, as well as Zhou Group. I’ll try to finish them before 12.”

“Don’t look at your phone too much. Call me if you want something to eat. I’ll go buy it or ask Auntie to prepare it when she comes. Don’t do it by yourself. Also…” Gu Yu Cheng said before leaving the apartment.

“I know.” Su Rui stood on her tiptoes and kissed Gu Yu Cheng’s lips to prevent the following long speech.

She found that this person was talking a bit too much lately.

“Don’t worry. Go and attend to what you need to do.”

“Besides, my mum will come over later. So you won’t have to worry about it.”

Father Su was able to let Su Rui attend University B midway previously, evidently one can tell there were quite a few friends of his there.

Therefore, the matter of Su Rui taking a two-week leave of absence naturally could not be hidden from Old Comrade Su.

Once Father Su became aware of it, Mother Su would naturally know of it as well.

She got worried, so she would be coming over.

Hearing that Mother Su was coming, Gu Yu Cheng was relieved.

“I’m going out then.”

“What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it back for you.”

The corner of Su Rui’s mouth twitched when he heard what Gu Yu Cheng said.

Chairman Gu had a tendency recently in feeding her just like stuffing a pig.

Su Rui originally wanted to say ‘there is no need’. However, after thinking about it, she said, “If you can come back before 3 o’clock, go to Shun He Zhai and buy two boxes of vegetarian desserts.”

Recently, Mother Su seemed to be particularly fond of that restaurant’s pastries, sharing and recommending^[1] it in her Moments.

Gu Yu Cheng smiled.

“Alright.”

“I am really leaving?”

“Go on quickly, or you’ll be really late.”

……

[Gu Company] ? Gu Yu Cheng garnered everyone’s attention as soon as he arrived at the office.

When the crowd/everyone noticed Gu Yu Cheng, they first thought that the chairman looked different today, and then they realized: the boss changed his hairstyle today!

It was no big deal for a man to change his hairstyle.

But the point was that Gu Yu Cheng’s hairstyle had basically been the same for years.

It was hard not to notice the sudden change and the change of hairstyle.

However, with Gu Yu Cheng’s prestige in the company, the people in the company would only secretly look at him and never discuss it in front of their chairman.

However, the private chat group of female employees has been super lively all morning.

“The chairman has changed his hairstyle!”

“I saw it too, he’s super handsome!”

“And the black shirt the chairman is wearing today is simply so manly.”

“And he looks so young.”

“The chairman is not old in the first place, alright.”

“Do you think the chairman got this haircut for his wife?”

“Possibly. Haha.”

……

Su Rui was right about this point.

In the eyes of a female, Gu Yu Cheng’s new hairstyle was indeed very handsome.

In the male eyes…

At the end of the meeting, Zhou Zi Yuan and Gu Yu Cheng were walking together. Zhou Zi Yuan glanced at his buddy and couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you suddenly change to such a refreshing hairstyle? When I first walked in, I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Ever since he was a kid, he only saw Gu Yu Cheng shave his head like this when he was in military training in university.

Was this a new haircut to reduce his age or something?

Or was it for the convenience of taking care of the pregnant woman at home?

That isn’t right. I’ve only heard of pregnant women cutting their hair short for convenience during pregnancy, but not men.

Gu Yu Cheng didn’t know what Zhou Zi Yuan was muttering in his head. When he was asked this question, the corner of Gu Yu Cheng’s mouth quirked and said succinctly, “My wife cut it.”

“You are saying that Su Rui cut it?”

Zhou Zi Yuan had an incredulous look on his face.

“(Snort) I never knew she possessed such skill.”

In fact, at first, Su Rui had only wanted to trim Gu Yu Cheng’s hair a little.

It was just that Su Rui was not really skilled in using the small pushers to cut short hair.

When she finished cutting one side, she found that it was shorter than the other side. So she had no choice but to cut the other side a little shorter.

With this repetition, Gu Yu Cheng’s hair was only left with that short section in the end.

Luckily, Su Rui studied art and had a steady hand.

He ended up with a crew cut, which looked pretty good.

Glancing at Gu Yu Cheng again, Zhou Zi Yuan raised his eyebrow and asked, “Say, should I go and get a crew cut too?”

Gu Yu Cheng snorted softly and asked, “You want to have your girlfriend cut it for you?”

“Sure, why not? Why should I be scared when you are not afraid of being a lab rat?” Zhou Zi Yuan said leisurely.

As a man, how could he not know that Lao Gu was bragging when he said ‘my wife cut it’?

He said it as if no one else has a ‘wife’.

However, when he thought of Tang Xiao’s ability to peel an apple last time and made it smaller, Zhou Zi Yuan a cold shiver ran down his spine.

“I still have to go back this afternoon, so I won’t entertain you,” Gu Yu Cheng said to Zhou Zi Yuan.

“Understood. Understood.” Zhou Zi Yuan said with an indifferent smile.

After a pause, Zhou Zi Yuan asked another question, “How is your wife’s condition now? Was it stabilized?”

“It’s fine.”

Presently, Su Rui’s condition was basically stable after two weeks of rest.

However, it was still necessary to wait until after she went to the hospital the following week for her first maternity check-up before Gu Yu Cheng could be completely at ease.

“It’s true that I didn’t notice what happened previously. I’m sorry.” Zhou Zi Yuan said and let out a sigh.

He took the time to inquire about the situation on Bai Xin Yu’s end.

Gu Yu Cheng would not let Bai Xin Yu off, which was something Zhou Zi Yuan guessed.

But this person was even more ruthless than he surmised.

Not only the intentional harm to Su Rui, but also including several things that Bai Xin Yu did to make money before, both shady and legal, were all unearthed by this man.

Not surprisingly, Bai Xin Yu would probably be staying inside for the rest of her life.

In this regard, Zhou Zi Yuan could understand.

In the same scenario, if someone hurt Tang Xiao, he would have done the same, let alone the fact that the woman was carrying his child at that time.

When Gu Yu Cheng heard Zhou Zi Yuan’s words, he did not say anything, but only raised his hand and patted Zhou Zi Yuan’s shoulder.

“This project is a big part of Gu Company’s plans for the first half of the year, so you should bear more burden.”

Originally, this project was Gu Company’s main investment project. However, Gu Yu Cheng didn’t have that much energy and time to deal with the subsequent project advancement for the time being, that’s why he pulled Zhou Company in.

Zhou Zi Yuan smiled and said, “(Snort) Why are you being so polite? To be honest, I’ve really had my eyes on this project for a long time.”

“When are you going on leave?”

“Next week.”
