Half an hour later, Gu Chu came out of the bathroom. She put on the fluffy pajamas that Rong Shi had prepared for her. It was the first time she came here, and Rong's mother took her to buy it, but she had never had a chance to wear it and had left it here. She didn't expect to wear it so soon.
Perhaps she was too tired, Gu Chu fell asleep as soon as she got into bed.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but the warm feeling on her face made her itch. When Gu Chu opened her eyes, she saw a handsome face magnified infinitely.
"Sweetie, eat your food before you sleep."
Gu Chu was still in a daze when she suddenly heard Rong Shi's gentle voice. She immediately realized something and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Rong Shi gently pulled her from the bed into his arms, lowered his head to kiss the top of her head, and smiled, "Eat to replenish your energy. You're too gentle..."
Gu Chu looked up and covered his mouth with her hand, scolding him playfully, "Don't say it, I'll eat..."
Seeing this, Rong Shi smiled and picked up the food from the bedside table, saying, "I'll feed you."
"No, get out. It's not like I can't move," Gu Chu said weakly.
Rong Shi didn't go out; instead, he brought her the food.
Gu Chu suddenly remembered something and asked, "What time is it now?"
"9:30 p.m.," Rong Shi said.
Gu Chu asked in surprise, "I slept for so long?"
"Not long ago, if I wasn't worried you'd get hungry, I wouldn't have had the heart to bother you," Rong Shi said truthfully.
Gu Chu then remembered to ask Rong Shi, "Have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
Gu Chu took the bowl of rice and walked to the sofa opposite her, trying to avoid Rong Shi's gaze: "I'll sit on the sofa and eat."
Rong Shi said casually, "Okay, I'll change the sheets and duvet cover then."
Gu Chu blushed suddenly.
After finishing the meal, Rong Shi took the dishes and chopsticks away and returned to his room.
Gu Chu was wide awake and was scrolling through her phone.
Rong Shi sat down beside her, lifted her up and sat her on his lap, and whispered in her ear, "Chu Chu, are you interested in going into politics?"
Gu Chu was taken aback, and looked up at Rong Shi in confusion: "What?"
She was afraid she had misheard.
Rong Shi asked very seriously, "What do you think of being a civil servant?"
Gu Chu immediately understood. The Rong family had been involved in politics for generations, but Rong Shi had joined the military. So who would take over Rong's father's position?
That's why Rong Shi asked her if she wanted to go into politics.
Gu Chu admitted that she was moved when Rong Shi spoke. The reason she married Rong Shi was because the Rong family had been in politics for generations and held great power.
Throughout history, among scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, officials have always been ranked first. Power is more important and more attractive than money.
She also thought that if she could get into the system by leveraging the Rong family's background, it might not be a bad thing.
She just hadn't spoken up yet. Firstly, she wasn't ready. She hadn't been sure how far her relationship with Rong Shi would go. At that time, she just wanted to use the Rong family's powerful background to protect herself and Su Wan.
Secondly, although she has verbally severed ties with the Gu family, her household registration is still with them. Once the Gu family finds out that her husband is a high-ranking official in JC province, they probably won't let her leave so easily, especially since she hasn't yet brought the Gu family down.
However, if she could stay within the system, she would have the opportunity to cut off Gu Jia's path.
"Can I... do it?" Gu Chu asked blankly.
Gu Chu was both nervous and excited. She wanted to agree, but she also had her concerns.
“Of course you can. If you’re willing, I’ll tell Ms. Fang and let her make the arrangements.” Rong Shi whispered intimately in her ear.
Gu Chu leaned against Rong Shi's chest, her confused eyes suddenly brightening: "Aunt Fang?"
Rong Shi raised his hand and gently stroked her nose, saying affectionately, "You should call me Mom or Mother-in-law now."
Gu Chu smiled shyly and said dryly, "Mom... she also works in the government?"
Rong Shi nodded, his lips lightly pecking at Gu Chu's earlobe, his voice alluring and husky: "Yes, she is the vice mayor of T City. If you want to enter the system, you can start by taking the civil service exam. The Rong family will help you with the process, and it's not impossible for you to be promoted to the position of mayor's secretary within two years."
"Mayor's secretary... I... I can't do it."
Gu Chu couldn't believe that she could enter the system and become the mayor's secretary—such unrealistic things—but another voice told her that as long as she was willing, the Rong family's power was enough to make it happen.
"I believe in you. You can definitely do it if you're willing," Rong Shi said, unable to resist kissing her cheek.
Gu Chu was a little confused. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll think about it. Don't tell Mom yet."
Gu Chu felt that since Rong Shi had given her a chance, she might as well give it a try, but before that, she should plan her future carefully.
If she goes into politics and Su Wan goes into business, then their paths as sisters might lead them straight to the top.
After all, even a large conglomerate like the Shen family cannot escape government control, and even the largest cities cannot do without business investment. It is a mutually beneficial situation. Whether it is Shen Baiyan, Jiang Jinyu, or even Qi Mingxuan, Gu Dongting and others, they all rely on government connections to make their businesses bigger and bigger. Behind each of them stands a white-shirted figure.
While Gu Chu was lost in thought, Rong Shi had already begun to cherish that sweet fragrance that belonged only to her.
"Initially..."
A flurry of kisses rained down, filling the room with the enchanting light of spring...
The next morning—
Rong Shi groggily lifted his eyelids and saw the girl in his arms with her back to him. He couldn't help but move.
