Chapter 32 Gu Yize's Request

Su Qinglan reported her work to Gu Jinchi in a businesslike manner and did not notice that Gu Jinchi's gaze had been following her.

After she finished, she turned and left. Just as her hand was about to touch the door handle, Gu Jinchi spoke, "Get off work early tonight."

Su Qinglan frowned, "I have a lot of work to do today. It might be hard to leave early."

"It doesn't matter. You can do it tomorrow," Gu Jinchi said irresponsibly.

Su Qinglan did not agree. She usually finished all her work before leaving. When could she finish work if she always left it for the next day?

Just as she was about to oppose, Gu Jinchi emphasized, "It was Gu Yize's request."

"Alright." She compromised at the mention of the child.

Gu Jinchi was relieved as she agreed, but he felt a little uncomfortable. He did not expect that in her heart, he was less important than Gu Yize.

At 5:30 p.m., Su Qinglan got off work on time.

She and Gu Jinchi went together to pick up Gu Yize.

She stood at the door of the school at Gu Yize's request.

A large group of children rushed out of the door, and Su Qinglan began to look for her child. Then she heard her child's bright voice, "Mom."

Gu Yize rushed out excitedly and hugged her leg.

"How was it today? What did the teacher teach you?" Su Qinglan asked with a smile and took his bag.

"What the teacher taught was simple. I already knew," Gu Yize said proudly.

Su Qinglan headed to the car holding his arms, but he didn't move.

She looked down and saw that Gu Yize was waving his hand at the children not far away and shouted excitedly, "Do you see? This is my mommy."

Four or five children quickly ran over, their bright little faces all smiling at her. Su Qinglan felt very awkward.

"Gu Yize, you were right. Your mother is very beautiful."

"Humph, I told you I was right. My mother is the most beautiful," Gu Yize said smugly.

"She looks more beautiful than my mother. Gu Yize's mother, can you be my mother?" A child asked innocently.

Gu Yize quickly tightened Su Qinglan's hand, and said possessively, "No, she is my mother."

"Yes, I can only be Yize's mother." Su Qinglan nodded cooperatively.

After saying goodbye to the children one by one, Su Qinglan held her son's hand and walked back home. She asked, "What did you say about mom at school? Have you been praising me?"

"Don't be proud. You still have a lot to learn. I only praised you a little bit." Gu Yize turned his head away blushing.

"Yes, yes, I will learn how to be a good mother to you. I will not disappoint you."

"It's good that you know."

Gu Jinchi drove them to a private restaurant. Su Qinglan felt very confused. Why did they come here?

She followed the arrangements and sat down, quietly staring at Gu Jinchi all the time. She wanted to see what Gu Jinchi was up to.

Su Qinglan became even more confused as the dishes were served one by one. She whispered to Gu Yize who was laughing secretly, "What is your father going to do?"

"Haha, you'll know soon enough." Gu Yize kept it in secrecy.

Su Qinglan felt that the atmosphere was very strange, and Gu Jinchi finally began to speak.

"Honey."

"Hawk." Su Qinglan was so surprised and her face even turned red.

Gu Jinchi handed her a glass of water. Su Qinglan tried so hard to stop coughing.

"Eh, don't call me that. I'm not used to it." Su Qinglan suggested in a low voice.

Gu Jinchi was about to nod, but Gu Yize didn't agree. "A dad should call a mom honey. This is the principle you can't change."

"The unalterable principle." Gu Jinchi added.

"That's right. The unalterable principle." Gu Yize nodded vigorously.

Su Qinglan wanted to explain, but she did not know how.

At this time, Gu Yize made it more awkward for her, "Mom, you should say that back to dad."

Su Qinglan wished she could hide under a rock. Why was this annoying little boy her son? It was so worrying.

She couldn't refuse when she met Gu Jinchi's expectant eyes.

They stared at her with similar faces in front of her. Su Qinglan didn't have another choice. She just closed her eyes and hardly opened her mouth, and said, "Honey."

"I didn't hear it clearly." Gu Yize was dissatisfied.

Su Qinglan glared at Gu Yize and said in her heart, "Sir, please stop and leave me alone. I don't even know how to face your father."

She did not notice that Gu Jinchi's face was redder than hers. He was stunned for a while before replying, "Yes."

Gu Jinchi took out a delicately packed box and handed it to Su Qinglan.

"This is...?" she asked with confusion.

"A gift for you." Gu Jinchi explained. He pulled his arms back and his hands clenched on his legs. He was so nervous.

Su Qinglan was thinking that it was not her birthday today while wondering what was inside the box.

After opening it, she saw a smaller box placed in the middle. She could tell that it was jewelry at a glance.

She picked it up and opened it, and it was indeed a piece of jewelry, a purple crystal pendant. It looked even more mysterious and noble under the light.

"Do you like it?" Gu Jinchi asked eagerly.

"Yes, thank you. I like it very much," Su Qinglan said with a smile.

"Let me help you with it." Gu Jinchi immediately stood up and came behind Su Qinglan. He gently lifted her hair and put the necklace on her slender white neck.

He touched Su Qinglan's neck by accident. He took his hand back and felt his fingertips slightly hot.

Gu Yize clapped and said, "Mommy, you are so beautiful."

Gu Jinchi indicated Su Qinglan to open the next box.

This gift was a folder. Su Qinglan hesitated when she saw it.

After seeing what was written in it, Su Qinglan couldn't help crying.

"You...?" Su Qinglan was speechless.

Gu Jinchi calmly and gently explained, "Su Corporation was declared bankrupt. I acquired it and registered it under your name."

He said that with a calm expression and tone as if he had just bought a child's toy.

"Actually, you don't have to do this. I'm not..." Su Qinglan shook her head.

"It's a gift for you," Gu Jinchi said firmly.

Su Qinglan hesitated. It seemed that she should not accept it.

Gu Yize anxiously looked at them. In the end, he could not help but say, "Alright, mommy, just accept it. This is a gift from daddy. If you don't accept it, he will be sad."

Hearing this, Su Qinglan looked at Gu Jinchi. Sad?

Gu Jinchi glanced at Gu Yize silently and nodded calmly.

Seeing his aggrieved look, Su Qinglan could not help but laugh, "Haha, Mr. Gu, don't you think it's not good for a child to talk too much?"

"That's why I think he should have the energy to take more lessons." Gu Jinchi nodded in agreement.

"Ah, no, you are bullying a child." Gu Yize screamed.

Su Qinglan and Gu Jinchi looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Su Qinglan finally got the Su Corporation, but she was not happy.

Her goal was never to own Su Corporation, but revenge.

She wouldn't be happy if she didn't get her revenge.

After Su Corporation went bankrupt, Su Cheng was the one who was affected the most.

A thought came to her mind when Su Qinglan knew that Su Cheng was looked down upon by Yan Family because of Su Family's fall.

In the office, she stared at Su Cheng's photo, her eyes full of hatred.

Rat-rat. Someone was knocking on the door.

"Come in," Su Qinglan said as she closed her computer.

Gu Jinchi stepped forward from the door and sat directly in front of Su Qinglan.

"President Gu, what's the matter?"

"I am Mr. Gu now." Gu Jinchi shook his head.

"Haha, alright, Mr. Gu. May I ask what you need now?" Su Qinglan snickered.

Gu Jinchi propped up his chin with both hands and stared at her unblinkingly, making her heartbeat uncontrollable so that she skipped a beat.

"Mrs. Gu, why are you unhappy?" Su Qinglan was stunned by Gu Jinchi's words.

She touched her hair to cover her thought, "No, I'm very happy."

"No, you're not happy." It seemed that Gu Jinchi was able to see through her heart.

Su Qinglan insisted, but she did not know how to explain.

Why was she discussing with Gu Jinchi whether she was happy or not in the morning? This was so silly.

"Mr. Gu, you don't have work today?" Su Qinglan indicated. Why didn't he hurry to work but stay here and ask her about this?

"Work is not as important as you," Gu Jinchi said.

The sudden love expression made Su Qinglan at a loss, and her face turned red.

After a long period of contact in business, Su Qinglan understood that he was a very persistent person. It seemed that he would not give up until he got her real answer.

Su Qinglan put down the pen in her hand and asked seriously, "May I ask, Mr. Gu, why do you think I'm unhappy?"

"Because you have been indifferent since you received the gift yesterday, except that you smiled at Gu Yize." Gu Jinchi said as he drew a circle in the air picturing her face.

Su Qinglan did not expect him to observe so carefully.

"So, you don't like the gift I gave you?" Gu Jinchi concluded with doubt.

"No, I like it very much."

"Mrs. Gu, I hope that you will not hold anything back against me. As your husband, I hope to understand your true thoughts." Gu Jinchi asked seriously, making it impossible for her to refuse.

Su Qinglan smiled bitterly. Sure enough, she was still not suitable for concealing.

In other words, she had no secrets in front of Gu Jinchi. He would know it in the end.

"I do like the gift you gave me. It's not the reason I'm unhappy. I just thought of some unhappy things."

"What is it? Is it related to Su Cheng?"

"How did you know?" Su Qinglan's expression changed.

"Sure enough." Gu Jinchi nodded.

His response was so calm that Su Qinglan wondered what was going on.
