nYesterday was the Gu Company’s annual meeting. Gu Yu Cheng drank too much at the annual meeting.

nThree-year-old Gu An An was staying at his paternal grandmother’s place because he had to attend an abacus & mental arithmetic lesson.

nWithout the presence of a particular hindrance, Gu Yu Cheng has no more worries.

nHence, he ‘tormented’ Su Rui till the middle of the night.

nProbably because the alcohol has not been completely metabolized, Gu Yu Cheng woke up with a slight headache.

n“Wifey, I’m sorry.”

nThe first thing Chairman Gu did was admit his mistake about last night’s matter to Su Rui.

nWhile saying this, Gu Yu Cheng instinctively raised his arm, wanting to take the woman sleeping beside him into his arms.

nThe next second, he did not manage to touch anything.

nThe palm of his hand touched the bed sheet with no warmth. It caused Gu Yu Cheng to jolt and instantly open his eyes.

nSu Rui is not here?

nHas she gone out?

nToday is Saturday. Yesterday, I did not hear Su Rui say that there are any plans for today.

nOr is she angry because of yesterday’s incident?

nGu Yu Cheng thought to himself.

nBut soon, Gu Yu Cheng sensed that something was amiss.

nAs he got up from the bed and looked around, Gu Yu Cheng’s brows furrowed even more.

nAfter being together, he and Su Rui lived in One Residence most of the time.

nThis was their apartment in One Residence. However, it was not the appearance Gu Yu Cheng was familiar with.

nTo be precise, this was the way it was before he renovated it again.

nThere was not even a trace of Su Ru’s and Gu An An’s presence in the stone-cold apartment.

nThis discovery caused Gu Yu Cheng’s heart to wrench.

n“Rui Rui?”

nGu Yu Cheng found no trace of Su Rui after searching around the house and only found his mobile phone by the bed.

nGu Yu Cheng dialed the numbers that he knew by heart.

nSorry, the number you have dialed does not exist. Please check…

nGu Yu Cheng wanted to call the Su family. However, he discovered that his contacts did not contain the numbers of Father Su and Mother Su.

nWhat exactly is going on here?

nThe date on the phone is six years ago. This was when he and Su Rui had just gotten to know one another.

nMoreover, at this moment, it is not morning but evening.

nThis didn’t seem like a prank, much less a dream.

nIf it isn’t, then where is Su Rui?

nGu Yu Cheng rubbed his throbbing head, which felt like it was going to explode, and forced himself to compose himself.

nVaguely, he felt that he was experiencing a situation that was difficult to explain with science. Furthermore, he urgently needed to clarify the current situation now.

n……

nAt 1:00 a.m, Wang Zhou was already lying in bed preparing to head to sleep when he received a call from his boss.

nAt 11:00p.m., he drove the chairman back to his residence at One Residence. He did not expect that he would be called back again at 1:00 a.m.

nInitially, Wang Zhou guessed that the reason the chairman called him back was about the incident that happened this evening.

nIn the end, after Wang Zhou rushed over very quickly, he was asked some very odd questions by Gu Yu Cheng.

nNot a single word was mentioned about Ms. Bai.

nAccording to what Wang Zhou said, Gu Yu Cheng knew that he traveled back to six years ago, like what he had guessed.

nBut even if it was six years ago, he should be acquainted with Su Rui. There was no reason why Su Rui’s number did not exist when he called.

nThe only possibility is that he was in another time and space.

n“Do you have any impression of the Su family?” Gu Yu Cheng asked.

n“The Su family. Chairman, are you referring to the Su family of Su Hua Group?”

n“That’s right.”

n“Um, I am aware of it.” Although Su Hua Group did not have any dealings with Gu Company, it was also City B’s famous enterprise. How could he not know?

n“Then, what about Rui… the Su family’s daughter?” Gu Yu Cheng asked as his heart kept tightening.

n“You mean Miss Su Rui?” He has some impression of this. It seemed that amongst the blind dates Madam had introduced, one of them was Su Rui.

nAfter that, Miss Su also openly ran to Gu Company several times.

nWang Zhou did not understand why the chairman would suddenly ask this. While he wondered about it, he saw Gu Yu Cheng standing from the sofa in the next second.

n“Did you drive the car over?”

n“Ah, yes.”

n“Come with me.”

n“Er… Chairman, where are we going?”

n“The Su family’s residence.”

nThe non-existent number notification caused Gu Yu Cheng to feel very wary. Presently, he eagerly wanted to see Su Rui and wanted to know his wife’s current situation.

nWang Zhou: ?!

nGo to the Su family’s residence? At this time of night? What for?

nWang Zhou’s eyes bulged open, and he asked these questions consecutively in his mind.

nAs far as he knew, Su Hua Group and Gu Company did not have any conflict. Mrs Su and Madam seemed to have a good relationship privately.

nCould it be about the blind date not long ago?

nDid something unpleasant happen to the chairman on the blind date?

nEven if that is the case, it is unnecessary to go to their house in the middle of the night to settle scores.

nWhat’s more, the chairman would usually let him cooperate and find a random reason to leave when Madam arranged a blind date.

nWang Zhou is very doubtful on whether he was still drunk from drinking too much now.

n“Uh…” Wang Zhou deliberated over how to phrase it. He reminded the chairman, “Chairman, it is a little too late if you were to visit the Su family’s residence now. After all, it is one o’clock. The people in the Su family’s residence may have gone to bed.”

n“Cancel all the arrangements I have tomorrow. Then, make an appointment to meet with the chairman of Su Hua.”

n……

nSu Hua and Gu Company do not have any dealings with one another. Hence, Su Hong Yuan felt very puzzled when he received Gu Company’s reservation.

nIn particular, Gu Yu Cheng, the young and promising chairman, came to visit him personally.

nWhen Gu Yu Cheng saw Su Hong Yuan, he almost called him “Dad” out of habit.

n“Chairman Su, sorry for the sudden visit. I actually want to discuss Rui… your daughter’s matter.” Gu Yu Cheng said straightforwardly.

nAfter waiting all night with his eyes open, he was no longer in the mood to waste any more time.

nSu Hong Yuan’s face instantly changed when he heard Gu Yu Cheng’s words.

nLiu Yue took her daughter to go on a blind date with the Gu family. This matter was mentioned briefly by Liu Yue to him in the end, and he did not approve of it at all.

nWhat kind of person is Gu Yu Cheng? And what kind of character does her daughter have? They are not suitable at all.

nEven though he was very dissatisfied with Gu Yu Cheng’s behaviour of walking off, it was fine since it was unsuccessful.

nHowever, Su Hong Yuan did not expect that Gu Yu Cheng would come to him at this time to talk about the blind date?

n“If it is because of the matter of the blind date, there is no need to discuss. My daughter and Chairman Gu are indeed unsuitable. So, the matchmaking matter is over. Chairman Gu, you don’t have to take it to heart.”

n“Chairman Su has misunderstood,” Gu Yu Cheng said as he took the tea handed over by Su Hong Yuan with both hands.

nFrom Wang Zhou’s words, Gu Yu Cheng knew that “he” had already left early for the blind date that day, which was why the situation was different now?

nIn any case, Gu Yu Cheng wanted to meet Su Rui first.

nGu Yu Cheng said, “I did leave that day because there was something urgent regarding the company I had to attend to, and I apologize for my rudeness.”

nHis attitude was so sincere that even Su Hong Yuan couldn’t believe it.

nWhy does he feel that Chairman Gu’s attitude towards him is polite and somewhat respectful?

n“Chairman Gu has spoken too gravely. After all, it is just a blind date. It’s normal if it is unsuitable.”

n“No. I mean, I actually have a good impression of your daughter.”

nIt was true that Su Hong Yuan did not know that Su Rui went to find Gu Yu Cheng several times and was “escorted” out by Gu Company’s security guards. However, he still did not believe a single word of what Gu Yu Cheng just said.

nIt was not that he was unduly humble.

nBut they, as parents, can put up with how Su Rui is usually rebellious and somewhat free-spirited at home. However, if it was the person next to him, he did not think he would be the same.

nAs Su Hong Yuan thought of Su Rui, he let out a sigh inwardly.

nAlthough they dote on their daughter, he and his wife also attach great importance to educating her from a young age.

nBefore the age of 13, Su Rui was actually very understanding and quiet.

nIf she grew up with that kind of disposition, Su Hong Yuan genuinely feels that that kind of Su Rui may be compatible with Gu Yu Cheng.

nHowever, Su Rui almost drowned in a swimming pool when she was thirteen years old and had a high fever for several days.

nWhen their daughter woke up, her whole personality changed. In the beginning, she was a little livelier and free-spirited. As she got older, she was extremely rebellious.

nAt that time, he and Liu Yue also found it strange and invited the psychiatrist to their home.

nUnfortunately, there was no cure in the end. According to the psychiatrist, Su Rui’s personality change may be due to experiencing a near-death situation. Some hidden character was stimulated.

nAnyway, she is still their daughter. What else can they do? If she is rebellious, they could only relent to that and take small steps.

n“The two of you are not suitable,” Su Hong Yuan said.

nUpon hearing this, Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes flickered.

n“Regarding this, I will not impose. But I hope you give me a chance to visit and apologise to Mrs Su and your daughter for my rudeness previously.”

nThe focus now was to find Su Rui first.

nAs far as Gu Yu Cheng knew about his mother-in-law, he would 100% be kicked out of the Su family’s residence’s door if he went to Liu Yue in this situation.

nTherefore, Gu Yu Cheng could only use Su Hong Yuan as a breakthrough.

nEven though Su Hong Yuan did not understand Gu Company’s chairman, he was still very surprised by Gu Yu Cheng’s current humble attitude.

nIn the end, Su Hong Yuan finally relented after Chairman Gu’s coax and pester. He agreed that Gu Yu Cheng could visit his home this afternoon to make amends.

n……

nGu Yu Cheng arrived at the Su family’s residence very punctually and with ease in the afternoon.

nHe brought Father Su’s favourite tea leaves and a set of Mother Su’s favourite tea sets.

nLiu Yue was rather unhappy when he saw Gu Yu Cheng.

nHowever, she was actually pacified with just a few words into not being so angry with this person.

nOne could only say that Gu Yu Cheng understands the things that would make her happy too well.

n“Gu Company has many things to attend to. It is quite normal for you to be held up. I did not take it to heart.” As Liu Yue said this, she paused for a moment. Then, she added, “But I deliberated over it and feel that you and our Rui Rui are indeed not suitable. It is just that we, as parents, were getting anxious. It would be good if you don’t randomly blame Yu Jing.”

nWith Liu Yue’s words, it cleared up the matter regarding the blind date.

nJust as the words were uttered, they heard a sound from the doorway.

n“I was with my friends in the streets about to engage in a flash mob. What exactly do you urgently call me back for?”

nThis was Su Rui’s voice.

nAs Gu Yu Cheng heard a familiar voice, he was startled and looked over where the voice sounded.

nThe corner of Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes twitched when he looked at “Su Rui” walking in with dyed grass green hair, wearing ripped jeans, and dressing in a new fashion.

nNo.

nThis girl in front of me is not Su Rui.

nThere was no need to do any verification. Just by his senses, Gu Yu Cheng was very certain that this “Su Rui” was not the same person as his wife, except for her appearance and name.

nLooking at “Su Rui” in front of him, Gu Yu Cheng’s face, which was previously suppressing his excitement, instantly flashed with a hint of disappointment.

nAt the same time, Gu Yu Cheng was a little happy.

nSu Rui will always be the one and only in his heart.

nJust like how “he” in this world chose to end the blind date early, but he would not.

nEven if there was another time and space with Su Rui with the same appearance, voice, family, and name, Gu Yu Cheng would still not feel that this person was his Su Rui.

nUnlike Gu Yu Cheng’s disappointment at this moment, “Su Rui” was a little surprised, then angry when he saw the person standing up was Gu Yu Cheng.

n“Since you don’t like me, why did you visit my house? Why? Did you suddenly find out that you were blind that day, and you’ve changed your mind?”

nInitially, she liked Gu Yu Cheng since he is so handsome and particularly remarkable, according to the internet.

nIn the end, he actually sat down and left after saying less than two words.

nAfter that, she went to Gu Yu Cheng’s company several times and was kicked out.

n“Rui Rui, how can you say that?!” Liu Yue hurriedly scolded her after hearing her daughter’s bold words.

nLiu Yue looked at Gu Yu Cheng and her daughter. She confirmed what she thought previously: their daughter and Gu Yu Cheng were indeed incompatible.

nAfter finding out that “Su Rui” was not Su Rui, Gu Yu Cheng did not stay at the Su family’s residence for long and found an excuse to leave.

nAt the same time, Gu Yu Cheng also confirmed that Su Rui wasn’t in this time and space.

n
