After a few days of being affectionate with Gu Rongqi, Cheng Qicai was invited by the lady to have dinner at their place.
The two stood in front of the full-length mirror in the fitting room. Gu Rongqi was wearing a black trench coat, which was exquisitely tailored and made her figure look even more upright and slender.
He looks like the male lead in an idol drama.
Cheng Qicai looked at Gu Rongqi, who was dressed in a respectable manner, and felt somewhat annoyed.
This makes her current hoodie look very casual!
If she goes back, she'll probably be nagged by Ms. Yun again.
She already had the lowest status in the family.
"You don't need to dress up so extravagantly just to have a meal at home," Cheng Qicai said, glancing at him sideways.
"Yes, I need to make a good impression on your parents." Gu Rongqi straightened his collar in front of the mirror again.
Cheng Qicai frowned at him, "Your impression isn't good enough. If it were any better, I'd be forced to sleep on the street when I get back, making room for their own son."
Gu Rongqi smiled and said, "No, I'll plead with you to sleep with me."
"..."
There were too many flaws in that statement, and Cheng Qicai just wanted to roll her eyes and refute him.
However, to keep her ears quiet, Cheng Qicai changed into an outfit that matched Gu Rongqi's style.
Gu Rongqi was taken aback when he saw her come out in a different outfit. "Next time, I can accommodate whatever you want to wear home."
"That's so nice!" Cheng Qicai hugged him tightly, looking at him with bright eyes.
Gu Rongqi smiled and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
Actually, he would rather kiss her on the forehead than kiss her on the forehead.
However, he had been kissing her too frequently these past few days. Yesterday, Cheng Qicai saw that she was already avoiding him. In the end, she made herself swear, and only after her repeated assurances did she trust him a little bit.
He didn't want to lose all his credibility with Cheng Qicai.
Therefore, there is no need to rush.
When the two returned home, Ms. Yun's first words were: "It seems that you've become more dignified in your clothing choices since you've been with Xiao Qi."
Cheng Qicai listened silently, but inwardly she curled her lip in disapproval.
She knew that if she dressed poorly, it was her fault; if she dressed well, it was Xiao Qi's fault.
Gu Rongqi chimed in, “No, Auntie, Qicai chose the clothes herself.”
"Hmph, Xiao Qi, stop defending her, or she'll become incredibly arrogant. If you don't say anything to her, she'll cause trouble behind your back." Ms. Yun snorted again and said with certainty, "I don't even need to look; she's definitely making faces behind your back again."
Gu Rongqi looked at Cheng Qicai, following Ms. Yun's words.
Her expression at that moment was a mixture of disdain and defiance, and defiance mixed with indifference.
The expressions on his face are very nuanced!
Noticing Gu Rongqi's gaze, Cheng Qicai instantly changed her expression and glared at him.
Gu Rongqi laughed when he was glared at.
Ms. Yun said to the two of them, "I'm going to the supermarket to buy some groceries later. Just tell me what you want to eat."
"Auntie, let us go with you. We can help you carry your things."
Hearing Gu Rongqi say that, Ms. Yun smiled broadly and said, "Okay, thank you then."
"It's just a small matter, Auntie, you don't need to be so polite."
Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Rongqi saw Cheng Qicai revert to her previous expression, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother.
The three arrived at the mall. Ms. Yun needed to use the restroom, so the other two waited for her on the side of the road in the mall.
Cheng Qicai saw the hamburger shop that she and Gu Rongqi had passed by before.
She suddenly remembered that this shopping mall was still owned by the Gu family, and Cheng Qicai couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.
A wealthy CEO fell on hard times and became unemployed because of love.
Wow, if this were a news headline, it would be so dramatic!
Thinking about it this way, doesn't Gu Rongqi seem a bit too love-obsessed?
If the person involved hadn't also been a part of it, Cheng Qicai would definitely have cursed Gu Rongqi as an idiot after seeing the news.
Instead of living such a wealthy life, they choose to live the life of ordinary people.
However, she now knows that there is a huge gap between unemployed people.
It's roughly the distance from the North Pole to the South Pole.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Rong asked, seeing Cheng Qicai lost in thought.
Cheng Qicai snapped out of her daze and looked at him. "Thinking about how domineering you used to be, huh? I even bumped into you here before, you were here on an inspection tour. Look, that burger joint is over there!"
Cheng Qicai pointed to the hamburger shop not far away.
He never considered himself a domineering person.
But Gu Rongqi had described Cheng Qicai to him in countless ways, so he just smiled and thought of what happened that day.
"When I saw you, I hoped you hadn't seen me! But as soon as I thought that, you walked over. What I feared most came to pass."
"Are you that afraid of me?"
Cheng Qicai nodded, "Of course. You were my boss back then, how could I not be afraid of you?"
"Especially when you told me to eat less junk food with such a bitter expression, I thought to myself, 'You're really nosy.'"
Gu Rongqi chuckled softly, "I just thought your hand was injured and you should eat less of that kind of food."
"It's just a finger, not my mouth or stomach... what can't I eat?" Cheng Qicai still felt resentful when she thought about it.
Gu Rongqi looked down at her. "Then should I apologize to you for what you did back then?"
"That's more like it."
Ms. Yun came out and said, "Let's go."
The group walked into the supermarket. Gu Rongqi pushed the cart, and they wandered around, filling the cart in no time.
