“Dinner is in an hour. You guys can have a chat first. Yu Cheng, you can sit down as well. I will go to the kitchen and check whether dinner is ready.”

After chatting in the living room for a while, Liu Yue saw that it was just about time, so she stood up and said.

“Rui Rui, didn’t you want to learn how to make sweet soup? Come along with me.” Mother Su winked at Rui Rui and said.

Apart from bringing her daughter with her, Liu Yue also didn’t forget to cast a meaningful glance towards Old Comrade Su on the sofa before leaving.

One can learn to make sweet soup in an hour?

Su Rui raised her eyebrows slightly.

She was highly sceptical of Mother Su’s excuse.

However, Su Rui probably knew that Mother Su was planning to call herself away so that Comrade Su and Gu Yu Cheng would be able to talk amongst themselves. So, Su Rui still cooperatively went along with her mother.

Gu Yu Cheng raised his eyebrows when he noticed that Su Rui was looking at him.

When Su Rui saw that, the corner of her lips raised and gave him #I think you will do well look, and went to the kitchen to learn cooking techniques with Mother Su.

The remaining two men in the living room had dealt with each other before, so they are relatively familiar with one another.

It’s just that for some reason, now that they have changed their identity so suddenly, it is a bit awkward.

“Here. Have some tea.” Father Su said.

Originally, he subconsciously prepared to pour a cup of tea for Gu Yu Cheng. But after thinking about it, he immediately stopped and pointed to the teapot over there.

Upon hearing that, Gu Yu Cheng was very quick-witted and said, “Thank you, Uncle*.”

Then, he took the teapot at the side and filled it with tea for Father Su before pouring it for himself as well.

“This tea was sent to me by Rui Rui’s maternal grandfather years ago…”

“Ming Qiang’s tea? Is it from F place?”

“You are into tea too?”

“Because of socialisation before, I went to understand a little.” Gu Yu Cheng said modestly.

……

Father Su chatted with Gu Yu Cheng again, not forgetting the reminder before his family leader entered the kitchen.

“Ahem. Xiao Gu.”

“Yes, Uncle*.”

“Rui Rui is the only child in our family. You should have noticed that whether it is me or Rui Rui’s mother, Rui Rui’s happiness is our utmost importance …” As Father Su spoke of the main topic, his tone became serious.

After hearing Su Hong Yuan’s words, Gu Yu Cheng nodded his head very solemnly.

“Regarding this point, please rest assured that I am serious about Rui Rui, and my relationship with Rui Rui is based on the intention of marriage.” After a pause, Gu Yu Cheng assured, “And I am not a person who is half-hearted or would treat marriage or promises as a trifling matter. I have set my heart on Rui Rui and will always treat her well, love her and respect her.”

He would choose and treat Rui Rui well not only because he liked the girl, but it is also because the girl deserved to be treated well by him.

Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s words, Su Hong Yuan subconsciously nodded his head.

Regarding this point that Gu Yu Cheng had mentioned, he still believed it.

As a person who is the chairman of the Gu Company and can still take care of the Gu Company so well, if Gu Yu Cheng doesn’t have this kind of credibility, it is absolutely impossible.

But…

Who said that you can call her Rui Rui?!

Su Hong Yuan couldn’t help but roasted him in his heart.

But on the surface, he endured it.

“Rui Rui is the only child in the Su family. I can still oversee Su Hua now. However, in the future, Rui Rui will definitely still be the one to manage it. I want to hear your opinion on this point” Su Hong Yuan looked at Gu Yu Cheng and said.

Upon hearing that, a flicker of deliberation also passed through the bottom of Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes.

“In the future, Rui Rui can become an excellent business administrator.” This was Gu Yu Cheng’s view of Su Rui, from an entrepreneur’s point of view.

“But,” Changing the subject, Gu Yu Cheng added, “I don’t want her to be too tired later. I want her to have more time to focus on the things she enjoys, my suggestion is…”

Listening to Gu Yu Cheng’s consideration, Su Hong Yuan nodded his head.

In this regard, Gu Yu Cheng’s thoughts coincided with his.

By dealing with it in this way ensured that Su Rui would be able to manage Su Hua and prevent Su Rui from being caught up in the management of the company.

Su Hong Yuan then heard Gu Yu Cheng continue, “In the long run, Su Hua Group can be managed by the children.”

“My child with Su Rui.” After a pause, Gu Yu Cheng added, “We won’t just have one child.”

This can be considered as Gu Yu Cheng stating his position to Father Su.

In the future, amongst their children, one of them will definitely have the surname of Su.

On this point, Father Su was quite satisfied.

“Also on another matter.” Su Hong Yuan added, “Rui Rui is still in school, and she also attaches great importance to her current studies as you know. ”

“I understand.” Responding to Father Su’s statement, Gu Yu Cheng said, “For the formal wedding, I feel that it should be after Rui Rui graduates.”

“Also,” Gu Yu Cheng paused for a moment and added, “In the meantime, with regards to the other aspects, I will try my best to restrain myself so that no unforeseen circumstances will occur.”

Hold on!

Gu Yu Cheng’s words were an assurance, right?

Why does it sound so unreliable instead?!

So much so that when he heard Gu Yu Cheng’s “assurance”, Su Hong Yuan suddenly felt he wasn’t that calm anymore.

……

By the time Mother Su and Su Rui came out of the kitchen, the conversation between Father Su and Gu Yu Cheng had gone from real estate in City B, to the game of Go, and from Go to talking about where to produce good tea.

During dinner, Su Hong Yuan and Liu Yue were formally informed of the matter of taking Su Rui to tomorrow’s banquet again.

After all, she had already heard from her daughter before, and even the evening dress was prepared for her. Now that she heard Gu Yu Cheng’s request again, Mother Su didn’t deliberately pretend to be surprised.

She nodded her head and said, “It makes sense for you to bring Rui Rui to attend such a banquet. ”

Moreover, from her understanding of Gu Yu Cheng’s personality, Liu Yue felt rest assured to let her daughter accompany him to attend it.

“However,” After a pause and glancing at Gu Yu Cheng, Liu Yue added, “I just have one request. Send Rui Rui back by 10 o’clock tomorrow, do you understand?”

But at this time, Su Hong Yuan, beside her, interjected.

“I’ve also invited Ms Li Na to come to our house to tutor Rui Rui, so I’m afraid that coming back at 10 o’clock will affect her rest. Be back before 9 o’clock.”

As soon as Old Comrade Su said this, even Liu Yue was surprised.

Liu Yue looked at Su Hong Yuan strangely, but didn’t know that Old Comrade Su was still thinking about Gu Yu Cheng’s “assurance”.

“Alright, I will. Please rest assured, Uncle* and Auntie*.”

Translator’s Notes: With regards to the ‘Uncle* and Auntie*’ (伯父伯母), it may be a little confusing, but it is just a formal address that is different as opposed to the ‘Uncle and auntie’ (叔叔阿姨).

From what I understand, 伯父伯母 is used to address one’s lover’s parents while 叔叔阿姨 can be used to any man/woman who is of similar age to one’s parents. Thus, 伯父伯母 is more formal in this context.
