Jiang Jiajia’s husband walked more and more nervously, feeling a bit uneasy. It seemed that Yu Yu’s friend’s husband was quite extraordinary. However, despite his surprise, he was fortunate that he could maintain a calm exterior.
Apart from Jiang Jiajia’s husband, a group of people from the president’s office also showed expressions of shock and curiosity when they saw Chen Wenyuan leading Jiang Jiajia’s husband holding a bunch of roses.
Who is this person?
To whom are these flowers being sent?
Did Assistant Chen specially go downstairs to receive them?
Before the truth came out, no one dared to ask questions directly. Instead, they discreetly directed their gazes at Jiang Jiajia’s husband and Chen Wenyuan.
It wasn’t until Chen Wenyuan knocked on President Gu’s office door.
Everyone: “!!!”
President Gu’s flowers!
The flowers for President Gu!
Gu Chenyan, who was busy signing a document, heard the sound and calmly said, “Come in.”
The door was pushed open.
Chen Wenyuan walked in first, holding a lunch box in his hand. He placed the lunch box on a small table nearby and said, “Sir, your lunch is ready. Also, you have a parcel that requires your personal signature.”
Gu Chenyan looked up at him.
Chen Wenyuan invited Jiang Jiajia’s husband to come in.
Upon seeing the unfamiliar face and the bright red roses, Gu Chenyan furrowed his brows.
His gaze fell upon Jiang Jiajia’s husband.
As a commoner, Jiang Jiajia’s husband was already a bit nervous in this serious and high-profile place. Now, being looked at by Gu Chenyan, a person with a seemingly extraordinary identity, made him even more anxious and fearful.
So, he shouted out, “I’m here to deliver flowers from Qiao Shu.”
The volume was loud enough for the entire floor to hear.
After shouting, Jiang Jiajia’s husband fell silent.
He looked somewhat apprehensively at Gu Chenyan.
However, he saw Gu Chenyan, who had just shown clear displeasure and furrowed brows, instantly soften his expression.
Gu Chenyan stood up from behind his desk.
He walked up to Jiang Jiajia’s husband.
His gaze landed on the bouquet of roses. “From Qiao Shu?” he asked.
Jiang Jiajia’s husband nodded repeatedly, “Yes.”
Gu Chenyan smiled.
He gently took the flowers, “Thank you.”
Jiang Jiajia’s husband, somewhat apprehensive, said, “No need, no need. Now that the flowers are delivered, I’ll take my leave.”
Chen Wenyuan: “I’ll see you out.”
The office door was conveniently closed, blocking the curious gazes from outside.
Gu Chenyan walked to the side, holding the flowers.
The phone on the office desk gently vibrated.
Qiao Shu sat in the back row of the bus, typing a message to Gu Chenyan with a silly smile on her face.
Qiao Shu: Mr. Gu.
Qiao Shu: Did you receive the flowers?
Gu Chenyan replied quickly: Yes, I did.
Gu Chenyan: They are beautiful.
Qiao Shu pursed his lips and smiled: Then let Qiao Qiao interview Mr. Gu. Does Mr. Gu like this bouquet of roses?
Gu Chenyan: Mr. Gu really likes it.
Qiao Shu: That’s great.
Qiao Shu: (Happy piggy spinning in circles)
Gu Chenyan: Why did you suddenly send me flowers?
Qiao Shu: “…”
Qiao Shu thought for a moment before typing: I just wanted to send flowers to Mr. Gu. Is that okay?
Gu Chenyan: It’s okay.
Qiao Shu thought for a moment, then bit his lip and continued: Actually, there’s another reason. Because Mr. Gu is too good.
Qiao Shu: And…
Gu Chenyan: And what?
Qiao Shu: Guess.
Gu Chenyan: Can’t guess.
Qiao Shu couldn’t help but laugh.
Tang Ting, sitting in front of Qiao Shu, turned curiously, “Qiao Shu, why are you laughing?”
Qiao Shu raised his head, the sweet smile on his face making him look charming, “Nothing, just saw something that made me happy.”
Tang Ting looked puzzled.
But Qiao Shu didn’t explain further. He lowered his head to continue typing and chatting with Gu Chenyan.
Qiao Shu: If you can’t guess, there’s nothing I can do. What should we do, Mr. Gu?
Tang Ting’s gaze fell on Qiao Shu’s phone and then shifted to his sweet smile.
A sweet smile.
A sudden guess crossed Tang Ting’s mind, and her eyes widened slightly. However, she quickly composed herself.
It’s quite normal for young people.
Tang Ting chuckled lightly, intending to retract her gaze and turn her head when she accidentally locked eyes with Ou Yinan, who was sitting beside Qiao Shu.
Tang Ting: “…”
She, in a righteous manner, placed her hand on her mouth, mimicking a zipper motion, and then patted her chest forcefully!
Ou Yinan: “…”
Ou Yinan nodded at her.
In the office, Gu Chenyan chuckled after reading the messages on his phone.
Gu Chenyan: Can Little Mr. Qiao tell Mr. Gu? Mr. Gu wants to know.
Qiao Shu’s eyes widened.
Qiao Shu: Little Mr. Qiao?
Gu Chenyan: Don’t like it?
Qiao Shu’s smile grew even broader. If it weren’t for being on the bus with many people around, he might have rolled on the floor with joy.
Ah ah ah!
Qiao Shu: Like it.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Shu boldly expressed: Husband.
Likes his husband.
After sending it, Qiao Shu nervously awaited Gu Chenyan’s reply.
Gu Chenyan: I like it too.
Gu Chenyan: Qiao Shu.
Gu Chenyan: Can you use this term more often in the future?
Qiao Shu knew what Gu Chenyan meant, but he still secretly combined Gu Chenyan’s two sentences.
I like it too—Qiao Shu.
Ah ah ah!
Qiao Shu tightly gripped his phone.
Regardless!
Consider it as Gu Chenyan confessing!
Excited, Qiao Shu blushing, replied: Yes.
Qiao Shu: Husband.
Gu Chenyan: Now, can Little Mr. Qiao tell his husband?
Qiao Shu: Yes.
Qiao Shu: Sending flowers to his husband is because Little Mr. Qiao can gain two happiness.
Gu Chenyan: Huh?
Qiao Shu: One is husband’s happiness.
Qiao Shu: The other is Little Mr. Qiao’s happiness.
Of course, there’s another reason: wanting to pursue you, wanting to confess to you.
Qiao Shu didn’t say it.
Confessing is something to be said face to face.
Gu Chenyan: Qiao Shu.
Gu Chenyan: I’ve also gained two happiness.
Inside the office, there was sweetness and tenderness, while outside the office, the entire president’s office was buzzing.
“Qiao Shu?”
“Who is Qiao Shu?”
“Oh my god! President Gu accepted the flowers! It’s the first time!”
“Wait a minute, this name sounds familiar. I think I’ve seen it somewhere!”
…
“Wait! Secretary Wu!”
One of the secretaries grabbed Secretary Wu, who was watching the excitement on the side. “Did I see this name from you?”
Secretary Wu: “…”
“Yes.”
Everyone stared at Secretary Wu intensely, and Secretary Wu sighed in his heart, “You all forgot; President Gu is married.”
He shouldn’t have said anything.
As soon as he said it, everyone had a shocked expression: “!!!!”
“What?”
“President Gu is married?”
One of the female secretaries exclaimed in shock, her voice breaking. Upon realizing how loud she was, she quickly covered her mouth in horror, anxiously looking towards the door of Gu Chenyan’s office.
No movement.
Phew!
Chen Wenyuan, who had just returned after seeing off the guest, happened to hear this. He walked over with an expressionless face.
He knocked on the table.
Everyone was startled and immediately looked at him.
Chen Wenyuan: “One month ago, President Gu gave us wedding candies.”
Everyone: “???”
What wedding candies?
Chen Wenyuan continued, “Also, all of President Gu’s information has been updated. Current status: Married.”
Everyone: “!!!”
After saying this, Chen Wenyuan calmly returned to his office.
Except for Secretary Wu, everyone looked at each other and then rushed back to their computers or took out their phones.
As expected!
On the internet, Gu Chenyan’s personal information in the marital status section had already been changed to Married.
“So, the candies President Gu gave us last time weren’t for a relative’s wedding or a business partner’s wedding?”
“Should be?”
Everyone pondered the circumstances when Gu Chenyan gave them candies last time.
That morning was like any other.
However, what was different was that before the workday began, Gu Chenyan came out holding several beautifully crafted candy jars.
The candy jars were exquisite, with a festive “Double Happiness” character cut from red paper affixed to them.
Gu Chenyan: “Wedding candies.”
Everyone was a bit surprised, but they had never thought that Gu Chenyan was the one getting married. Based on their observations, Gu Chenyan was likely to remain single, barring any arranged marriage.
“Thank you, President Gu.”
At that time, only Chen Wenyuan and Secretary Wu said, “Congratulations on your happy marriage, sir.”
Gu Chenyan modestly responded, “Thank you.”
Thinking about this now, everyone: “…”
So, the truth had been right in front of them all along? Were they confined by their past impressions?
“So, Qiao Shu is President Gu’s spouse?”
Secretary Wu on the side: “Yes.”
“This young lady…”
Secretary Wu corrected, “It’s sir.”
Everyone: “!!!”
After everyone got the gossip from Secretary Wu, they couldn’t resist rushing into the company’s large group to gossip.
So, all the employees in the entire company: “!!!”
Goodness!
The living Yama has actually gotten married!
For a moment, the entire company was buzzing with excitement, gossip, and congratulations.
But regardless, no one from the president’s office leaked any information about Qiao Shu.
President Gu hadn’t spoken, and no one dared to.
However, a few secretaries in the president’s office felt that Qiao Shu’s name seemed oddly familiar.
On the swaying bus, Qiao Shu chatted with Gu Chenyan for a while and then leaned against the seat with a neck pillow, falling asleep.
Even in his sleep, the smile on Qiao Shu’s face didn’t fade, as if he were dreaming of something happy.
Meanwhile, in Haicheng, in the president’s office of the Gu Group.
After finishing lunch, Gu Chenyan, who was supposed to rest, inexplicably picked up his phone.
He looked at the chat history with Qiao Shu, then glanced at the vibrant roses beside him, and smiled.
Gu Chenyan opened his friend circle.
He didn’t have many friends, and most of them were successful people as busy as himself.
He skipped over the inspirational quotes and the recent complaints about work from Fang Zhouyou. Finally, he stopped his finger, and his gaze landed on a particular post.
【Qiao Shu: Next stop, Desert City. (Photo)】
Gu Chenyan clicked on the photo.
The picture was clearly taken by someone else. In the photo, Qiao Shu stood in front of a large stone block over two meters high, with the words “Ancient Village” carved on it.
Behind the stone was a quaint yet charming village.
Qiao Shu smiled and made a peace sign to the camera.
Gu Chenyan repeatedly looked at this photo, and then finally saved it.
After exiting, he noticed several comments under Qiao Shu’s friend circle.
【Zhou Yanqing: Thanks for sister-in-law’s gift.】
【Fang Zhouyou: Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work. Also, the person upstairs, what gift did sister-in-law give you?】
【Zhou Yanqing: Don’t even think about it. My brother didn’t get such a gift.】
Gu Chenyan’s eyelids twitched slightly.
He first liked Qiao Shu’s friend circle post and then exited.
Gu Chenyan found Zhou Yanqing’s WeChat.
He somewhat unskillfully opened the camera function in WeChat, took several shots of the bouquet of roses on the table, and finally captured a satisfactory one.
He sent it to Zhou Yanqing.
Gu Chenyan: Just delivered by someone from Qiao Shu.
This wasn’t over yet.
Gu Chenyan extended his hand.
He took a photo of the cufflinks on both his wrists with his phone and sent it again.
Gu Chenyan: Qiao Shu brought these for me last time and even helped me put them on.
This wasn’t over yet.
Gu Chenyan stood up and walked to his work desk. Very seriously, he half-squatted down, aiming the camera at the small plush toy on the desktop.
The one in the claw machine, the plush toy that Gu Chenyan thought resembled Qiao Shu.
Gu Chenyan: Qiao Shu caught this for me.
Gu Chenyan: Does it look like him?
Gu Chenyan: Isn’t it cute?
Zhou Yanqing: …
Zhou Yanqing: Brother?
Gu Chenyan: Yeah.
Gu Chenyan: There’s one more thing I forgot to tell you.
Just as Zhou Yanqing, who was suddenly bombarded with a lot of dog food, hadn’t processed it all, a sudden ominous feeling surged.
He cautiously asked: Brother—
Zhou Yanqing: What’s the matter?
Zhou Yanqing: Hehe.
Gu Chenyan: Aunt Lan knows you’re back, and she has arranged blind date candidates for you.
Gu Chenyan: From what I know, there are currently three.
Zhou Yanqing: !!!
A bolt from the blue!!!
Zhou Yanqing: No!
Zhou Yanqing: Brother!
Zhou Yanqing: Help!
Gu Chenyan ignored him.
He directly exited the chat box and then, almost unconsciously, clicked into the friend circle.
Finally, he posted a friend circle update.
【Gu Chenyan: Really like it. (Photo)】
In the photo, there was a dazzling bouquet of roses, counted to be thirty-three in total.
Gu Chenyan turned off his phone.
Feeling satisfied.
