n“That….” Su Rui’s face turned red as she opened her mouth. She really didn’t know what to say.

nMust she say Chairman Gu, it’s your mother’s fault. It’s none of my business?

nI’m sure that the vacuum flask wasn’t switched on the way here?

n“I’ll heat it and drink it later.” As he saw Su Rui’s awkwardness, he hid the disdain towards the ‘soup’ from his eyes and said with his normal expression.

n“Mm, ok.” Su Rui tactifully accepted this reasoning.

n“You——” take a seat?

nBefore Gu Yu Cheng could speak, Su Rui said, “Go ahead and with your work.”

n“I’ll leave now.” Su Rui smiled to hide the awkwardness on her face.

n“I’ll give you a ride?”

n“There is no need. Your family’s driver is still downstairs.”

nAs she said, Su Rui initially wanted to habitually make a few polite remarks, “Remember to drink the soup.” but as she glanced at that barrel, Su Rui stopped herself from saying it.

n“I’ll go now.”

n“I’ll take you downstairs.”

nGu Yu Cheng insisted on taking Su Rui downstairs.

nThey took his personal lift.

nIt’s just that to head towards the personal lift, they would have to pass by the rest area.

nWhen both of them were walking by the rest area, there were several female voices.

nCoincidentally, they were talking about her.

nSu Rui stopped on her feet.

n“You said you saw Assistant Wang brought someone up to the office?”

n“En, it seems that she was sending something. She held a vacuum flask”

nIf you want to talk about her then talk about her, why must you mention the vacuum flask?

nThis already became Su Rui’s trigger for awkwardness.

nSu Rui muttered in her heart. Yet, she heard the tone of the people inside becoming more excited.

n“Cheh! It’s that type again. I just don’t understand why these rich ladies are so shameless.”

n“It may not necessarily be this time. Didnt you see that she already went up? And I also saw that the car parked in front of the main door is the Gu family’s car.”

n“This time, the woman should be sent by Mrs Gu. “

n“Heh, so what about it? Why don’t you think that other than the people that automatically stick towards him, how many daughters of wealthy families did Mrs Gu introduce to Chairman Gu? Who did Chairman Gu take a fancy to?”

n“To lick his face several times1, aren’t they all chased out?”

n“That makes sense!”

n“Then you say, could Chairman Gu not consider marriage and marry a daughter of a wealthy family ah.”

n“That’s for sure. These daughters of wealthy families are so hard to please. Besides, such a large enterprise as the Gu company, why would they need marriage to strengthen their connections?”

nWhen they were talking, a fierce look flashed through Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes. When he was about to head inside to see which employee would be so free to ‘chat’ in the company, he saw Su Rui had already taken a few steps forward.

n“Su Rui.”

n“So…” As Su Rui looked at Gu Yu Cheng, she thought and asked, “What they have said is true?”

nEven though what those people have said just now were more gossip in nature, in Su Rui’s past life she has read a lot of gossip online, she has a feeling that: this gossip is true.

nIf, what these people had said were true.

nThen for her to come here, wouldn’t it be that….

nRegarding Su Rui’s question, Gu Yu Cheng frowned.

n“In what way?”

n“You don’t intend to start a relationship or even get married through a blind date?” Su Rui asked.

nShe felt a little weird.

nFrom what they have said, it should mean this right.

nIf that is so, then during this period of time, getting along with Gu Yu Cheng and her, wouldn’t that be her, one sided, thought that she was correct?

nWhen Gu Yu Cheng heard what Su Rui had said, his expression became more solemn.

n“Indeed, I…” Gu Yu Cheng admitted with a dry voice.

nHe didn’t consider getting married.

nSo, that means that she really misunderstood him?!

nOh God! Must it be this embarrassing!

nIf there was a hole on the ground, Su Rui would want to hide in it.

nHer first serious blind date, where she planned to get along with her partner, in the end it turned out to be a big misunderstanding?

nSo embarrassing!

nThis kind of feeling is even more embarrassing than when she went to the wrong exam room last time.

n“Su Rui.” Gu Yu Cheng looked at Su Rui and said.

n“That… Mr Gu…”

nEven though she was extremely embarrassed at the moment, Su Rui tried to look calm when she looked at Gu Yu Cheng.

n1 舔著臉(tiǎn zhe liǎn)- To lick one’s face. It means even after being rejected, the person didn’t give up and strived for it with a thick-skin.
