“Su Ni, is it funny?” Gu Zechen is angry, but what’s more important is that when Su Ni can control his mood. He is irritable. “Shall we sleep? Mom is sleeping.” Su Ni implores him.
“Su Ni, don’t challenge my baseline!” Gu Zechen warns her coldly. Finally, Su Ni releases her hands and watches the door close. The room is dark. Su Ni gives a wry smile, “Gu Zechen, you are pretty hard-hearted.”
Next morning, to avoid An Rong, Su Ni gets up early, and goes to the company without breakfast. Ruan Yichen is not in the company because of the exchange meeting organized by the company, so that Su Ni also avoids embarrassment.
All morning, she is busy but in a good mood. But when she calls director Zhang, she can’t avoid being teased. “Mrs. Su, you are really in a good mood, and you did me a good job.”
Su Ni knows that director Zhang is dissatisfied with her concealment last night, and she smiles flatteringly: “please don’t get me wrong, I didn’t expect that Mr. Gu would come here.”
He snorts, and says nothing. Su Ni smiles awkwardly, and continues: “I don’t mean to hide it, but I don’t intend to make public know our relationship for the time being.”
“Mrs. Su is so humble.” Director Zhang continues to tease her. Su Ni smiles and doesn’t know what to say. In the telephone, director Zhang coughs symbolically and gives her an out: “it doesn’t matter, but just this once.”
“Of course.” Su Ni says immediately, and she feels relaxed. Actually, she knows that although director Zhang is angry, he can’t really be angry with Su Ni for the sake of Gu Zechen. After hanging up, Su Ni leans on the chair, and pats her forehead heavily.
Just in time, Qin Yue comes in. Su Ni sits upright immediately, and returns to her normal mood. “Mr. Gu helped us favorably last evening. A lot of news has come out from the government. I just got a call from director Zhang. He asked us to hand in the materials and the reserve funds as soon as possible.”
Su Ni nods, and although it’s unexpected, it’s not surprising if considered carefully. “One more thing.” Qin Yue pauses and says in a relaxed way, “I heard Yin’s company had handed in the material, but they seemed to have been ignored, so director Zhang pays more attention to us.”
Su Ni is stunned, thinking that Gu Zechen appeared in time last night.
Qin Yue continues: “But you should raise the funds quickly, and it's the best way to get financing from Mr. Gu.”
“I know.” Su Ni nods, and she is just about to call Ruan Yichen when her secretary knocks on the door, saying: “Mrs. Su, there are many reporters downstairs......” “Let them go!” Su Ni says without thinking.
Qin Yue says nothing, and after the secretary leaves, he says: “maybe these reporters heard some news, and it seems that the relationship between you and Mr. Gu will be revealed soon.”
“Even if it can’t be concealed, it’s not my fault. You know Gu Zechen’s attitude towards this matter.” Su Ni’s eyes are firm, and she says without hesitation. Qin Yue is a little upset, but he also nods, then he leaves.
Su Ni knows what Qin Yue means, and if she makes public their relationship, it’s just a temporary profit. However, if she annoys Gu Zechen because of that, it’s not worthwhile.
Although Su Ni appreciates An Rong’s help, this is Su’s company, and she expects that she can become powerful and get out of control one day.
Su Ni thinks for a moment, and decides to calls Gu Zechen. He doesn’t answer the telephone, and Su Ni is afraid whether he suspects she was deliberate last night.
Thank God. The third call, Gu Zechen finally answers. “what?” “Last night, the reporters seemed to know our relationship......” Su Ni is speechless.
There is silence in the phone. “I’m not deliberate!” Su Ni explains immediately, but she hears Gu Zechen saying impatiently: “you call me for all this crap.”
Su Ni is stunned. Then he hangs up the telephone. What does Gu Zechen mean? Nonsense? Su Ni pats her head to sober her up. Is Gu Zechen even unwilling to listen to her explanation? It seems that it’s more difficult to ask Gu Zechen to inject capital.
In the afternoon, there is nothing to do in the company, so Su Ni leaves early. She doesn’t expect Ruan Yichen knew about the capital in advance, and sent urgent documents to the company, which saved Su Ni a lot of trouble.
As for the last night's matter, Su Ni bites her lip for several times. And Ruan Yichen asks first, “was everything OK last night?” “It doesn’t matter”, Su Ni says calmly, “he is just a little bit domineering.”
Then, Su Ni is also surprised. When did she know Gu Zechen so well? Ruan Yichen smiles, “certainly, as a man I know Mr. Gu’s mind, and he still needs to be more considerate of you. But thanks to his help, we are going smoothly.”
Even Ruan Yichen says that, and Su Ni feels more upset. How to explain it to Gu Zechen? It’s just a coincidence. “At that time, Mr. Gu wanted to enter, and it had nothing to do with me, did it?” Su Ni seems to catch the last life-saving straw, and she asks.
“Yes......” Ruan Yichen can’t understand. In the telephone, Su Ni is relieved, then she realizes it’s not proper, and after a perfunctory remark, she hangs up directly.
She doesn’t know why, and just thinks something is strange. First, Gu Zechen suddenly appeared, then he broke into the box, which was totally different from what she usually knew about him.
But Su Ni doesn’t think about it anymore, and now she just thinks about how to make amends for him, and she goes to the market directly. She didn't know how to cook before. But later, she had to take care of herself, so she managed to cook.
When she returns home, the servant is shocked when she sees the situation. Then she quickly takes the vegetables from Su Ni's hands. “Mrs. Gu, let me help you.” “It doesn’t matter.” Su Ni is embarrassed.
She doesn't know if the dish she makes is to his taste. “You tell us what you want to eat. You are so busy, how can you do it yourself?” The servant thinks that she is not good enough, and becomes more and more uneasy.
“Let Su Ni cook.” A voice comes from behind. Su Ni and the servant turn back at the same time. An Rong says with a smile: “Su Ni wants to cook for Zechen.” Her words make Su Ni blush. Is she obvious? Why does An Rong know what she wants to do?
“Well, you cook and I call Zechen to come back home for dinner.” Su Ni is more shy. And An Rong is pleasant. “Mom......” She wants to prevent her, but An Rong winks playfully, and says happily: “don’t worry, it’s a secret, we give him a surprise.”
