Chapter 12 Mr. Gu is truly considerate
This was Su Niannian's first time visiting such a large supermarket.
She frequented the small shop near her home most often, where her mother would send her to buy things.
When she got back, Li Xiumei counted the remaining money again, just in case she hid it away.
When their parents weren't busy, they would take Su Xin and Su Zhe to the supermarket.
Every time I come back, I check if she's in the yard before I go in. When she's not there, I quickly carry two big bags of things upstairs like a thief.
When eating, she would hide from her and her grandmother, and eat secretly on the second floor.
Actually, Su Niannian was a little angry.
She wasn't greedy, and even if she saw them, she wouldn't ask them for them, so they had no reason to avoid her.
The freezer displays brightly colored Australian beef, deep-sea salmon, South American black tiger prawns...
“I don’t know your tastes. Help yourself to whatever you like,” Gu Yuheng said from the side.
Su Niannian craned her neck to look at the price and was immediately shocked. It was so expensive! She could buy two of these at the market.
There were many people around choosing food. Su Niannian tiptoed and whispered in Gu Yuheng's ear.
"Things here are too expensive. Let's go to the farmers market. The farmers market I usually go to has fresh vegetables and meat that are cheap and of just as good quality as here."
She cooks all the meals at home, so Su Niannian has become a regular customer at the market, and she knows which shops offer the cheapest and freshest produce.
Gu Yuheng lowered his eyes, and the little girl's pair of watery almond eyes were right in front of him. She looked like a well-behaved little kitten, with a soft voice and a gentle appearance that captivated his heart.
He said with a laugh, "I give you 50,000 yuan in pocket money every month, and you're still so frugal?"
Su Niannian puffed out her cheeks and said, "I'm just taking precautions."
Who knows if you'll fire yourself beforehand?
She doesn't need to spend money on meals here. Apart from needing to buy two changes of clothes, she has no other expenses. She plans to save all of the 50,000 yuan.
Gu Yuheng felt that if he hired Su Niannian to work in the company's finance department, Gu's assets might break 10 billion more.
"You don't need to pay, right?"
He figured it out; if he let Su Niannian choose for herself, she probably wouldn't be able to buy anything by nightfall.
So Gu Yuheng stretched out his long arm and, as if the supermarket were giving it to him for free, took it into his shopping cart without even looking at the price.
Before long, the shopping cart was piled high with goods. The reason there was still room was because he felt he needed to buy something else.
Su Niannian followed him to the snack section.
Looking at Gu Yuheng's tall figure, she thought to herself, "Are all rich people this arrogant?"
There were many young girls shopping for food in the snack section.
Therefore, Gu Yuheng and Su Niannian pushed the cart over, and everyone turned to look at them.
Gu Yuheng has broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Even in a simple white T-shirt, his noble temperament is hard to hide, especially his handsome face that attracts attention wherever he goes.
Although Su Niannian was dressed plainly and without makeup, her small face was bright and beautiful, like a fairy descended to earth.
It's hard not to notice two people like that.
"Ah! That uncle is so doting! The young lady is so lucky to have such a considerate boyfriend."
A girl watched Gu Yuheng handing potato chips to Su Niannian and said enviously.
"What kind of eyes do you have? That guy looks like a father bringing his daughter to buy snacks."
The girl's companion strongly disagreed.
Their voices were quite loud, so they reached the ears of the "father and daughter" completely and clearly.
Gu Yuheng paused, his long, slender fingers nearly crushing the potato chip packaging.
He raised his eyes and glanced indifferently in the direction from which the sound came.
His long-standing position of power gave him an air of arrogance and dominance. Even a casual glance from him made the two girls stiffen, instantly losing their desire to buy snacks, and they ran away hand in hand.
"I was wrong, that uncle was so fierce."
"Yes, yes, I guess our daughter was being disobedient and took her anger out on us."
Su Niannian's lips twitched. Looking at Gu Yuheng's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, she felt that the uncle was at most a mature and steady type, and did not fit the description of old at all.
Moreover, he was the best-looking man she had ever seen, as dazzling and handsome as a movie star.
He calls him his own father? What kind of look is that?!
"Don't listen to their nonsense. You are actually very young and don't look like my father at all. When we stand together, we look like siblings at most."
If her dad were that handsome.
She'd probably be laughing in her sleep...
Gu Yuheng felt that Su Niannian had both comforted and failed to comfort him. He was usually a shrewd strategist in the business world, but he couldn't quite understand Su Niannian's thought process.
"..."
Which brother and sister will get a marriage certificate?
However, getting the marriage certificate was just a way to appease Grandma, and when the one-year agreement expired, their relationship likely ended in divorce.
Besides, he was infertile and didn't want to hold Su Niannian back.
He will compensate Su Niannian with a sum of money and help her find a job.
Then, they used their connections to erase the marriage plans, allowing Su Niannian to return to being single, so as not to affect her dating and marriage prospects.
After buying snacks and some daily necessities, Gu Yuheng pushed the shopping cart toward the checkout counter.
Su Niannian suddenly called out to him from behind, her face flushed for some reason, and her voice was barely audible: "I still have something to buy..."
Gu Yuheng pushed the cart without thinking too much: "Let's go."
Su Niannian quickly stopped him: "I can go by myself..."
Gu Yuheng, being quick-witted, immediately understood what was going on.
"Go buy it, I'll wait for you here."
Su Niannian nodded, asked a nearby female sales promoter for directions, and then jogged towards the women's products section.
Her periods are always very regular, and she has never had any problems with irregular periods. Judging from the time, it should have started yesterday.
Therefore, when she rode in Gu Yuheng's car yesterday, she was worried for a long time, afraid of getting his car dirty.
Fortunately, her body was very sensible and didn't let her die in public, otherwise she really would have wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.
When the salesperson saw a young girl coming over, she took the initiative to introduce the product to her. Su Niannian usually used the cheapest kind, which didn't absorb well and was stuffy and humid, making her very uncomfortable.
Seeing the expensive items the salesperson was introducing to her, Su Niannian didn't take them, but instead picked up the relatively cheaper ones next to her.
This is much better than what I used before.
"Sister, can I have a bag?"
The salesperson handed her a pink bag. Su Niannian said thank you and put the two packs of sanitary napkins into the bag.
Not wanting Gu Yuheng to wait too long, she hurriedly ran to find him.
When she got back, she found an extra bag of ginger brown sugar in her shopping cart.
She paused for a moment, not asking Gu Yuheng if he bought it for her, pursed her lips, and walked over.
But when Gu Yuheng saw her return, he said naturally, "I just browsed around and saw that ginger brown sugar was on sale, so I bought a pack. Make some brown sugar water when you get home."
Su Niannian: "Hmm..."
Gu Yuheng: "Then let's go pay the bill."
The two walked side by side toward the cashier.
At that moment, a shopping cart seemed to fly up and rushed straight towards Su Niannian.
Gu Yuheng swiftly stepped in front of her, and just as the shopping cart was about to hit them, his well-defined knuckles firmly gripped the front of the cart.
