Ms Li, thank you very much for troubling you to come here so late.

In the living room downstairs, Father Su cordially thanked Ms Li Na when he saw her coming down.

He was completely unaware that Ms Li Na was trying her best to dig the wall[1] and wasnt digging for herself but towards the chap from the Gu family.

How is that so, you are too polite, Chairman Su. Li Na smiled and said, Xiao Ruis learning ability is great, and her comprehensive ability is very good. Its very easy to teach her.

Haha, thats because Ms Li Na has taught her well. Ill have to trouble you a lot in the future.

My pleasure.

Li Na talked for a moment and left.

On the other side, Su Rui was hugging her phone and hiding in her room.

When she was back in her room, Su Rui threw herself directly on the bed.

She stuffed herself on the pillow, and after a while, she looked up and sat on the bed upright. She picked up her phone and stared fixedly at Gu Yu Chengs message that was sent a while ago for a while.

[Su Xiao Rui]: Alright

Su Rui didnt know what to say and just sent this word to him. She didnt even add a full stop.

Looking at the message she has sent, Su Rui furrowed her brows and suddenly felt it was improper.

Initially, Su Rui wanted to recall her message and send a new message to him.

In the end, without waiting for Su Rui to recall the message, Gu Yu Cheng practically called her within a second.

Once she answered the call, without waiting for Su Rui to speak, Gu Yu Chengs deep and pleasant voice came out from the mobile phone.

Su Rui. Even across the phone, it seemed that you could hear a trace of hidden pleasure from Gu Yu Chengs voice.

En.

Hearing Su Ruis voice, Gu Yu Cheng on the other end of the phone seemed to pause for two seconds, and then he said, I saw your message that you have replied.

Su Rui:

So, what should she say?

Yes, I agreed to be your girlfriend, that kind?

For the first time, Su Rui felt that her language skills werent good enough.

Just as Su Ruis head was crazily forming her sentence, she listened to Gu Yu Cheng, who also consciously seemed to be changing the topic.

What were you doing just now? Gu Yu Cheng asked.

En, I was debating on whether to agree to be Chairman Gus girlfriend. As she thought about it, Su Rui said in a relaxed tone.

As for just now, whether it was mostly because of attending classes, or because she uses the class time to ease the nervousness temporarily. No matter what, Su Rui wouldnt tell Gu Yu Cheng that she was attending lessons when Gu Yu Cheng was waiting for so long.

When Gu Yu Cheng heard her reply, he seemed to be smiling and didnt disagree.

Then, what about now?

Now? Su Rui smiled and continued, Now is the time to tell you my important decision.

On the other end, Gu Yu Chengs eyes moved a little when he heard what Su Rui had said.

Then, girlfriend? Gu Yu Cheng asked.

Even though Gu Yu Cheng has a vague guess about what Su Rui was about to answer, his voice still had a trace of urgency.

Mhm. This time, Su Rui answered directly with a smile without any hesitation.

It can be counted as admitting the identity of Gu Yu Chengs girlfriend.

Actually, for the process of confirming their relationship. Other than the fact that Su Rui, a person with zero experience, is not as calm as she appeared to be. Theres nothing melodramatic about it.

If she meets a suitable person, and the timing was right, then she would like to try it.

There arent any two people who are 100% compatible, but they can be as they got along with each other slowly.

Just like what Mother Su has said, she should make the best of others.

Gu Yu Cheng as a person whether it is his conditions or personality, Su Rui felt that he was an excellent choice that she didnt want to miss this person out.

From the phone, Su Rui heard Gu Yu Cheng chuckled, and her face lit up with a smile.

Its my first time being someones girlfriend. I dont have any experience. Therefore, Ill have to trouble you in the future. Su Rui blinked and said on the phone.

Sui Rui wouldnt say words such as I am bad-tempered, I love to act childishly, Im not good enoughand so on.

Except for crazy fan behaviour, a person in the eyes of another can never achieve 100% perfection.

But, its obviously unnecessary to say that now.

After all, two people in the infatuation stage of a relationship would look at one another with a thick filter.

As for the future, Su Rui wasnt going to think about that much for the time being.

Although the purpose of dating was to get married, she will not take marriage as the premise.

Hearing this, Gu Yu Cheng laughed and said sincerely, Its also my first time, so if theres anything that Im not doing well, you can tell me directly.

En, alright.

Are you going to school tomorrow? Gu Yu Cheng asked.

Yeah. When she thought about having to go back and face three exams, Su Rui suddenly felt down.

What time? I will fetch you. Gu Yu Cheng said.

Dont. I will let my chauffeur send me to school. Su Rui refused without any hesitation.

After a pause, Su Rui added, If you arent busy tomorrow afternoon after working overtime, come to my school.

On the other end of the phone, the corner of Gu Yu Chengs mouth quirked.

Alright.

Ill try to be early tomorrow.

After getting rid of some foundation courses by passing the examinations, Su Rui finally had no classes on Monday morning like the other students.

When Su Rui arrived at the dormitory, Liu Ling was also there.

At the moment, Liu Ling was looking at her with a bitter look.

Aiyo, who provoked our classmate Liu Ling? Su Rui raised her eyebrows and asked.

Who do you think? Liu Ling took a look at Su Rui and said, You went to Red Maple Forest and then went to some banquet. Why didnt you bring some souvenirs back?

Pft Liu Lings expression of grievance, Su Rui couldnt help laughing.

Souvenirs?

What should she bring? The leaves of Red Maple Forest or the biscuits from the Chen familys banquet?

Ok, ok, dont be angry. Su Rui said as she comforted her feeling abandoned roommate. She added, Look, Ive brought you all the snacks my mother made at home this weekend and some chocolates from Comrade Lao Sus friends.

Sure enough, Liu Lings eyes lit up when she heard what Su Rui said.

Youre considered to have a little conscience. After taking the things Su Rui handed over, Liu Ling ate, raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Rui, and said, Dont worry. Elder sister will still help you out for this weeks small test.

Your phone. Liu Ling suddenly pointed to the mobile phone that was vibrating and said.

When Su Rui heard that, her first reaction for some reason was that its Gu Yu Cheng who is calling her at this time. It was sudden that she felt nervous and swiftly picked up her phone and stepped away from Liu Lings sight.

But, to Su Ruis surprise, it was Mother Su who called.

Mum? Whats the matter? Su Rui asked. Although it was true that mothers are worried about their children who are far away[2], she had just bid goodbye to her mother 20 minutes ago.

As Su Rui was wondering, Liu Yue said again, Nothing. I just wanted to inform you that you went to the art exhibition with Gu Yu Cheng yesterday and bought a painting, right? The painting has just arrived. Ill ask someone to put it in your fathers study first and wait for you to return home to look at it.

Hearing Liu Yues words, Su Rui was slightly surprised.

Oh, alright. Thank you, Mum.

Painting?

She didnt buy it.

Then Gu Yu Cheng bought it?
