Chapter 52 Annulled Engagement (Part 1)
Chu Xiang was itching to get her hands on him, but the man was driving, so she couldn't interfere. However, she was quick-witted, and a brilliant idea struck her. She said with a troubled expression, "I suddenly remembered that I forgot to bring my apartment key when I got home. It will be very late when I get back. It looks like I'll have to call a locksmith tomorrow."
Gu Heng glanced at it.
Chu Xiang blinked, looking especially innocent and pitiful. "If I stay in a hotel, I'll be scared to be alone at night. What should I do?"
She practically made it clear that she wanted to go to his home where he lived alone.
While waiting at a traffic light, Gu Heng raised a hand and patted the top of her head. "Xiangxiang, your apartment has a fingerprint lock, so you don't need a key."
Chu Xiang's expression changed; she had miscalculated!
When she met the man's gaze again, she saw a smile hidden in his eyes. Her little scheme had been exposed without any mercy, and she sulked, leaning back in her chair, thinking to herself that he really didn't understand romance at all.
Gu Heng said, "Xiangxiang, wait a little longer."
Chu Xiang looked at him with displeasure.
He leaned down and kissed the corner of her lips, chuckling softly as he said, "On the day we get engaged."
Chu Xiang gave a disinterested "Oh".
She has always been a carnivore, and that applies to her relationships as well. However, in general, when men and women are dating, it should be the men who are impatient, but in their case, it seems to be the other way around.
Gu Heng, that old man, is too hard to swallow.
Chu Xiang looked up at him. "You said you wanted to get engaged to me?"
Gu Heng said gently, "I won't keep you waiting too long. I'll take care of everything."
Chu Xiang didn't ask any more questions. Just as she had thought, since Gu Heng had asked her to date him, he should naturally be the one to handle things with the Gu family.
After a long silence, as the car started moving again, Chu Xiang suddenly asked, "Uncle Gu, are you impotent?"
Gu Heng almost slammed on the brakes; he glanced at her silently.
Chu Xiang said confidently, "I know that when men get older, their physical functions decline, so sometimes they are not able to perform. But I don't think it's something to be ashamed of. If you are sick, I can help you get treatment. If you can't get better, it doesn't matter. What I like is your frigid face... cough, I mean I like you as a person, not because I like anything else that I'm with you."
In the darkness, the car was parked on the side of the road.
Gu Heng looked at her and smiled slightly, "Xiangxiang, I have a physical examination every year. Because I'm with you, and out of a sense of responsibility towards you, I also had a new reproductive system examination done during this year's physical examination."
There is an annual physical examination, which is a benefit of their company. During a recent physical examination, Gu Heng deliberately avoided the people in the company and underwent a series of additional tests. He always does things this way, being thorough and planning ahead.
Chu Xiang hesitated before speaking, "And your test results..."
Gu Heng lowered his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable. He held the girl's waist with one hand, his grip light and restrained, and said in a low voice, "Whether it's vitality, quality, or stamina, I've far exceeded the passing grade."
Chu Xiang: "..."
Gu Heng: "Xiangxiang, what I want is not temporary pleasure."
He lowered his head and whispered in the girl's ear, "What I want is the right to be with you every day, legitimately, for the rest of my life."
Two words in his sentence were spoken too softly, and only she could hear them.
Gu Heng stepped back slightly and saw the girl's beautiful face slowly blushing, as if inviting him to pluck it.
With a slight smile, he cupped her face and kissed her gently. "Don't be afraid, I will try my best to control my desires."
In most situations, he is quite refined and cultured, just like those two vulgar words he just uttered were merely her misperception.
Chu Xiang buried her face in his chest. As a girl, she had the instinct to be shy, but she felt an indescribable excitement.
It seems that a well-dressed man, sitting on a pedestal, transformed into a mindless beast for her sake.
So exciting!
That night, Chu Xiang still didn't get a chance to go to his house, but her good mood lasted for quite a while. Since she was in a good mood, Gu Heng was naturally in an even better mood.
Assistant Yin received triple performance bonuses for two consecutive months. He took advantage of his daughter's piano lesson to treat his wife to a delicious meal at a seaside restaurant. Even though the restaurant originally belonged to his wife, he spent the money he earned on it, so that the profits wouldn't go to outsiders.
Because his romantic evening was interrupted, he had been sleeping on the sofa for almost a month. Now that he and his wife have repaired their relationship, Assistant Yin has naturally been all smiles and in a good mood.
When Assistant Yin arrived at work that day, he knocked on the office door. After receiving a response from the person inside, he went in and said, "President Gu, the seating for the Black and White City game launch event has been arranged."
Gu Heng was processing a document when he heard this. Without even looking up, he said, "Okay, I understand."
Assistant Yin said, "Actually, it was just a regular press conference held by the subsidiary. Mr. Gu, you are so busy, there is no need for you to attend. You can have a good rest on the weekend."
Gu Heng smoothed out every crease on the document, then closed it and neatly stacked it to one side. "Xiangxiang likes it, so I'll keep her company."
Assistant Yin guessed that was the case. His boss was fine when he wasn't in a relationship, but once he was, he was like a hot-blooded young man. As long as it was something his partner liked, he would want to accompany her through it no matter how tiring or difficult it was.
Gu Heng did indeed have a lot of things to do. He had just finished processing a bunch of documents and was now typing on the keyboard at the computer.
Assistant Yin was about to leave when a phone call came in. He answered it, heard what the person on the other end said, frowned, glanced at Gu Heng, and finally said, "You guys keep an eye on that side."
He hung up the phone and said in a complicated tone, "President Gu."
Gu Heng simply replied with one word: "Speak."
Assistant Yin said, "The people we arranged to keep an eye on Su Ruanruan saw her go to the hospital for a checkup; she's pregnant."
Gu Heng paused in typing, raised his eyes, and asked calmly, "Gu Jue's?"
Assistant Yin: "During this period of time, only the Second Young Master has been in contact with Su Ruanruan."
Gu Heng said indifferently, "That's fine."
His expression was indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Assistant Yin suddenly understood many things. According to Gu Heng's personality, if he liked Chu Xiang, he would never tolerate Chu Xiang still being someone else's fiancée. However, ever since Assistant Yin discovered that Gu Heng and Chu Xiang were together, he had not seen Gu Heng take any action.
Gu Heng had simply instructed his assistant, Yin, to have someone keep an eye on Gu Jue and Su Ruanruan's movements. Now that Su Ruanruan was pregnant, it seemed to be within Gu Heng's expectations.
If Gu Heng had revealed his intention to be with Chu Xiang beforehand, one can imagine how much public opinion would have been directed at Chu Xiang. For a woman, such gossip is nothing more than accusations of being fickle and promiscuous.
As for Gu Jue having affairs with other women, it's not really considered a very serious matter in this circle. However, once Gu Jue has a child with one of those women, the seriousness of the matter changes.
Sure enough, Gu Heng smiled slightly, "I remember we just finished negotiating a business deal with the Chu family recently. Given that the Gu family and the Chu family have been on good terms for many years, I should also thank Uncle Chu for his help in business. Assistant Yin, could you please arrange a dinner? I want to invite Uncle Chu to dinner on behalf of the Gu family."
Assistant Yin was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll arrange it."
Gu Heng pressed another key on the keyboard and said, "I sent you an email. Can you help me see which one to choose?"
Assistant Yin took out his phone and opened a newly arrived email. It was a large PowerPoint attachment, which took him a while to download before he could open it. He initially thought it was some kind of proposal, but when he saw what was inside, his eyelids twitched. "President Gu... you want me to choose a beautiful dress?"
Gu Heng nodded. "I've already sent her flowers. Although Xiangxiang likes them very much, sending flowers all the time would get boring. Xiangxiang likes to wear dresses, but the dresses available in the market are also available to other people. She doesn't like wearing the same clothes as others, so I had someone design a few outfits for her."
Assistant Yin's hand slid down the screen, the images kept refreshing—this wasn't just a few outfits!
Gu Heng: "Assistant Yin, you're married and have a daughter, so I think you'll understand girls' thoughts better."
Assistant Yin couldn't help but complain, "Instead of making a choice, Mr. Gu, why don't you just buy them all and let Miss Chu wear a different outfit every day of the year?"
Gu Heng thought about it carefully and felt that it was not very feasible. "These are all summer clothes, and you can't wear them for a whole year."
Assistant Yin was relieved that at least her boss wasn't truly stupid.
Gu Heng's eyes curved slightly. "But Xiangxiang can wear different clothes in the morning and afternoon. You're right. Rather than choosing, I might as well have them all."
Assistant Yin: "..."
Help!
His boss seems to have become love-struck!
