In the evening, Gu Yu Cheng posted two photos in his Moments^[1].

One was a photo of the cover of two marriage certificates, while the other was a photo of their marriage certificate picture, which was previously disdained by Su Rui a little.

Then, there was a caption attached: My wife.

Su Rui also shared a post, using the same two photos that were taken in a similar manner.

Su Rui had originally prepared a big, romantic and creative caption.

However, when she saw Gu Yu Cheng’s short and flashy three words, Su Rui thought about it and simply deleted her own paragraph, and then followed Gu Yu Cheng’s example by attaching three words: My husband.

The moment the posts were sent out, both of their Moments exploded.

Su Rui’s Moments was filled with people asking for wedding candy[2], plus ‘oh my god’, but Tang Xiao Niu’s comments were the only ones that were filled with lewdness.

Tang Xiao Niu: Which app did you use to photoshop^[3] the photo?

Photoshop…

Su Xiao Rui: Tang Xiao Niu, your thinking can be even more peculiar. I will not block you; really.

Su Rui replied directly to Tang Xiao in WeChat.

Tang Xiao Niu: Hahahaha, no, I just think it’s too sudden.

Tang Xiao Niu: Didn’t you just get engaged yesterday? And you have obtained your marriage certificate today! Is Chairman Gu that eager?

Tang Xiao Niu: That’s not right.

Tang Xiao Niu: You can actually get out of bed today!

Tang Xiao Niu: Hehe, it seems like Chairman Gu didn’t work hard enough.

Su Rui was just opening the fridge to get something, and Tang Xiao’s messages filled the entire screen in WeChat.

Looking at the latest message that popped up, the corners of Su Rui’s eyes twitched.

Su Xiao Rui: Tang Xiao Niu, how many amazing little smut novels have you secretly read?

Tang Xiao Niu: Isn’t that the case?

Su Xiao Rui: ……

It is not like she was made of tofu-dreg^[4] so exaggerated.

But this is better to wait for this chick to discover by herself later.

Tang Xiao Niu: Hehe, congrats.

Tang Xiao Niu: Congratulations to Classmate Xiao Rui for obtaining a self-restrained, aloof and domineering president as a husband.

Looking at Tang Xiaoyi’s playfulness, Su Rui smiled.

But, self-restrained? Aloof?

Heh heh.

……

At Gu Yu Cheng’s place, he received a call from Zhou Zi Yuan.

The other person opened his mouth with the words: What the f*ck!

“Lao Gu, you are so capable. You are so fast!”

He had originally thought that Gu Yu Cheng had only just got engaged to Su Rui, so he should not call to disturb the two of them in the past two days.

Who knew that this guy would move so fast?!

Yesterday he got engaged, and today he even obtained the marriage certificate!

He didn’t even consider the feelings of his old buddies… (Spit), pals who were still single dogs.

“How was it? How about going out tonight with us brothers to get together and bring Rui… (Cough) Your wife, to celebrate?” Zhou Zi Yuan suggested.

“Not free.” Gu Yu Cheng refused directly.

“And,” Gu Yu Cheng added, raising an eyebrow, “do you think it’s appropriate to call me out at this time?”

“Pft, Lao Gu, why do I feel like you’re showing off right now?” Zhou Zi Yuan snorted lightly and added, “Let me tell you, I’m doing this for your own good, to prevent you, whose iron tree palm has blossomed,^[5] from being unable to brake your car.^[6]’ ”

Gu Yu Cheng sneered and raised his eyebrows.

“You’re thinking too much.”

“How is the preparation of Jin Hua’s project on your end?”

“(Snort) I thought you weren’t in the mood to talk about business,” Zhou Zi Yuan snickered and continued, “Don’t worry, everything that should be arranged on Zhou’s side is prepared.”

……

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yu Cheng walked to the kitchen and pulled Su Rui into his arms from behind.

“What are you doing?” Gu Yu Cheng lowered his head and asked in Su Rui’s ear.

“Salt and Pepper Ribs,” Su Rui replied, blinking and adding, “But I don’t know how it tastes.”

She had followed the recipe. But as to whether it was good or not, she didn’t know.

It looked alright?

It also smelled quite good.

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Gu Yu Cheng hooked the corner of his mouth.

“It looks very good.” Gu Yu Cheng said, picking a piece straight out of the plate.

“Be careful, it’s hot!”

“It’s truly very good.”

Upon hearing this, the corner of Su Rui’s mouth couldn’t help but raise a smile.

“Then you help me carry this out, along with the dishes.”

“Okay.”

……

After the meal, Gu Yu Cheng mentioned to Su Rui the matter that he had talked about with Zhou Zi Yuan on the phone earlier, “There is a cooperation project between the company and Zhou Company in City H, which will be officially launched next week.”

“You’re talking about that project with Jin Hua?”

Although Su Rui was somewhat skiving off during her internship at Gu Company because she was preparing for her engagement nowadays, there were some projects that she vaguely knew about.

“En.”

“Are you going over there personally?”

“Do you want to go?” Without answering Su Rui’s question, Gu Yu Cheng immediately asked, “The temperature over in City H is nice. Didn’t you feel cold over in City B recently? And, it just so happens that the resorts over there are open in these two months…”

“Pftt.” Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s words, Su Rui couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Are you there to work or to play?”

However, Gu Yu Cheng can tell that Su Rui was really a bit tempted.

“I’ll take you to play.” Gu Yu Cheng said after he grabbed Su Rui’s hand, which was ‘rising in revolt’, and placed it on his lips and kissed it.

“What day is the trip scheduled for?”

“Next Wednesday.”

Su Rui pondered for a moment.

“Then, if it’s within five days, I can go.” After that, she would have to go back to school to prepare for her final exams.

“Okay, I’ll make the arrangements.”

Seeing Su Rui looking at him, without saying anything and her eyes glinted happily, the corner of Gu Yu Cheng’s mouth quirked and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I just suddenly want to lament something.”

“Don’t you think I am very fortunate?”

Fortunate to be alive again after death, to have a complete family, and to have met Gu Yu Cheng.

Luckily, she didn’t meet any scum.

Although this man might have some minor flaws, they were basically negligible.

Anyway, in Su Rui’s eyes, her husband is the best, and she doesn’t accept any rebuttals.

Su Rui did not say the rest out loud.

However, looking at Su Rui, Gu Yu Cheng obviously guessed what Su Rui wanted to say.

“It’s my luck.”

The author has something to say:

1.You can imagine the shirt play and so on by yourself ~~

2.Regarding the original owner, it will be explained later.

^[1] 朋友圈[Péngyouquān]- Moments (social networking function of smartphone app WeChat.) The Chinese translation of moment is known as ‘Friends’ circle’, which means users can share and get access to accepted WeChat friends’ information, creating an intimate and private communicating circle within the users’ choice of close friends.

[2] Candy is exchanged between the families as a traditional symbol of happiness and fruitful offspring. Wedding candy is also often handed out or displayed at the reception feast, or offered as a wedding favor to the guests. Credits: char4u

^[3] 照片上是P(zhàopiàn shǎng shì P) – P refers to photoshop. Thus, it means the photograph was photoshopped.

^[4] 豆腐渣 dòufuzhā: Derived from “Tofu-dreg project” (豆腐渣工程 dòufuzhā gōngchéng), this is a phrase in Mainland China to describe a poorly constructed building or well a so-called “jerry-built” construction. Where the projects look grander than they actually are. Just poorly constructed in general.

^[5] 铁树开花[tiě shù kāi huā]-The iron tree has blossomed./Sago palm has bloomed. Sago palm only blooms once every three to four years with either male or female flowers. Thus, this phrase is a metaphor for something that is very rare or extremely difficult to achieve. Credits: Gardeningknowhow & Baidu

^[6] The car reference is from the slang, drive a car. (开车[kāichē]- Start the car/drive the car. An internet slang that refers to talking about the topic is related to p*rnography or something along the lines.) Thus, being unable to brake the car would mean that one is unable to stop doing the deed.
