My money-grubbing mother, through moral manipulation, made me join the male lead's company...

Chapter 225

Perhaps because she had already confirmed her relationship with Gu Rongqi, she no longer had the conflicted feelings she used to have. After saying goodnight to Gu Rongqi, she slept exceptionally soundly.

Buzz~ Buzz~~

She was still asleep when she was woken up by the sound of her phone vibrating.

She groggily fumbled for her phone behind her pillow and, still half-asleep, saw the words "Gu Rongqi" on the screen.

As her memories of yesterday returned, her mind suddenly cleared.

She cleared her throat and answered the phone, "Good morning, Gu Rongqi!"

"Good morning, Qicai!"

Cheng Qicai could easily hear the laughter in his voice; she could tell he was in a good mood. "Are you up?"

"Get up." Cheng Qicai threw off the covers and got out of bed.

"Then I'll buy breakfast and bring it over for you."

Hearing that Gu Rongqi was coming, she looked at her wrinkled pajamas and said in a panic, "No... I mean, could you come a little later? About half an hour later."

"Okay. What would you like to eat? I'll bring it to you later."

Cheng Qicai thought for a moment, "Let's have steamed buns then."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Qicai immediately threw her phone on the sofa and then rushed to wash up and change her clothes.

Just as she finished tidying up, there was a knock on the door.

Cheng Qicai calmly combed her hair with her fingers before opening the door.

Seeing the large bags of breakfast in Gu Rongqi's hands, Cheng Qicai was taken aback, "Why did you buy so much?"

"And there's some for me, I want to eat with you." Gu Rongqi came in.

Cheng Qicai blushed at Gu Rongqi's words and secretly smiled.

She opened the shoe cabinet, her gaze lingering on the disposable slippers.

Now that they're officially a couple, it seems a bit inappropriate to dress Gu Rongqi in this.

But she didn't have his size either, so he had to make do with this for now. "You can wear this for now, and I'll go to the supermarket and buy you a new pair to put in later."

"Okay!" Gu Rongqi smiled and said, "We can go to the supermarket later."

Cheng Qicai: "..."

There's no need to be so opportunistic!

With a "snap," her words were twisted. No wonder she used to be in the business world; her ability to obfuscate other people's words was impressive.

The two sat on the sofa, and Cheng Qicai ate the breakfast that Gu Rongqi had brought.

She took a bite of the bun in her hand, glanced at the time on her phone: 9:23.

This is clearly not the time for Gu Rongqi to have breakfast.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, his daily routine and meals are extremely regular.

Cheng Qicai swallowed what was in her mouth and said, "You don't have to wait to have breakfast with me. You can do whatever you want."

“I ate a little this morning,” Gu Rongqi explained, “and now two or three hours have passed, so I can eat with you. In fact, I’m even more looking forward to eating with you.”

Cheng Qicai's face flushed slightly again.

But hearing that Gu Rongqi had eaten something made Cheng Qicai feel a little better. If Gu Rongqi continued to follow her pace, she felt that the pressure would be too great.

After the two finished eating, Cheng Qicai looked at Gu Rongqi and asked, "What are your plans for today?"

After finishing breakfast, Cheng Qicai felt that everything was fine.

If Gu Rong hadn't gotten up so early, she would still be sleeping right now!

"No." Gu Rongqi shook his head, then asked hesitantly, "Do you want to go outside to play?"

Cheng Qicai was still somewhat shocked by Gu Rongqi's denial. She thought that he had some kind of plan for coming to find her so early.

But let's go outside...

Cheng Qicai glanced at the blazing sun outside the window, its intense heat blinding her. She shook her head. "No way, it's so hot outside!"

The two fell silent again, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Cheng Qicai suggested, "It's too early to go shopping now, how about we go see a movie?"

"Okay." Gu Rong nodded.

Cheng Qicai turned on the TV and handed the remote to Gu Rongqi, saying, "You choose which movie to watch first, and I'll go prepare some food."

As she spoke, Cheng Qicai went to the kitchen, took out a small watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it in half, and then took out two bottles of drinks.

Thinking of Gu Rongqi's healthy eating habits, she still made him a cup of lemon tea.

Gu Rongqi walked over and asked, "Are you taking these out?"

"Yes!" Cheng Qicai nodded.

Cheng Qicai divided the food Gu Rongqi brought out into two portions, "This lemonade is yours, and we'll each have half of this watermelon..."

After distributing the items, Cheng Qicai closed the blinds, plunging the room into darkness, with only the television screen emitting a soft blue light.

Cheng Qicai sat down next to Gu Rongqi, adjusted the air conditioner to a comfortable temperature, and sat cross-legged on the sofa.

Feeling that something was missing, she took the thin blanket from the back of the sofa chair and covered herself with it.

Once she was ready, she looked at Gu Rongqi, who was sitting upright, and covered his lap with the thin blanket she was using.

She patted the sofa. "You don't have to be so reserved. You can sit cross-legged like me. It's much more comfortable to watch the show from this position."

"Okay." Gu Rongqi looked down at the thin blanket on his lap, then sat cross-legged on the sofa like Cheng Qicai.

The two were standing close together, and Gu Rongqi could easily feel the warmth emanating from Cheng Qicai's body.

The delicate fragrance of jasmine lingered in my nostrils, just like the day I first visited her home.

Gu Rongqi felt a slight stirring in his heart.

Cheng Qicai looked at the untouched TV screen and asked, "Didn't you make a selection just now?"

"No," Gu Rongqi shook his head. "I want to see what to choose with you."
