She didn't stay in the room for long. Since the maid said that she could also read the books in the study next door, she went to the study next door.
The study is spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on two walls, filled with all kinds of books. The autumn sun shines on the balcony outside the study, making it look bright and warm.
Ye Ruan casually picked up a novel and settled into the beanbag chair on the balcony to read it.
The quiet and comfortable time made her want to doze off, and Ye Ruan didn't even know when she became so sleepy.
As she gradually regained consciousness, she felt a feather-light kiss on her neck and collarbone, and then she smelled the familiar, crisp woody scent.
She opened her eyes, and there was Gu Chen's handsome and charming face in front of her. Her gaze met his deep eyes.
The image of him embracing that woman flashed into her mind, and she felt a strange sensation.
She subtly dodged his kiss, asking without revealing her thoughts, "What time is it? How long have I been asleep?"
Gu Chen seemed oblivious to her evasiveness, reached out and ruffled her hair, then took her hand and led her downstairs. "It's almost noon. Are you hungry? They're waiting for us downstairs for lunch."
Ye Ruan paused for a moment, looked at Gu Chen and asked, "You have business to discuss, would it be inappropriate for me to come with you?"
"No." Gu Chen couldn't help but ruffle her hair again. "I came to Chongqing this time to discuss cooperation with Harold Meyer, the heir of Meyer Technology in Country D. Meyer Technology has developed the most advanced 2-nanometer lithography machine."
Xu Hongbo wants to join forces with the Gu family to capture the blue ocean market of 2-nanometer chips in China.
Ye Ruan tilted her head to look at the man's smooth profile, listening quietly as he spoke. These...aren't they considered trade secrets?
Gu Chen just told her that?
Gu Chen felt Ye Ruan's gaze, turned to look at her, their eyes met, his expression softened, "Harold's wife is a China enthusiast, obsessed with Chinese culture, so I'll have to trouble Ruan Ruan to help me entertain her."
"Mm." Ye Ruan nodded.
Gu Chen took her hand and led her downstairs.
downstairs.
Xu Hongbo and his sister Xu Rui, as well as Lu Wei and Tao Tao, have all taken their seats.
Gu Chen led Ye Ruan to sit down, and Xu Rui rested her chin on one hand, looking at Ye Ruan with an innocent expression, and exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, Sister Ye Ruan, you are so beautiful! No wonder Brother Gu Chen cherishes you so much, he's even afraid you'll get tired when you go to play golf."
Ye Ruan smiled, but before she could speak, Tao Tao looked at Ye Ruan seriously, then at Xu Rui, and then said to Lu Wei, "Lu Wei, look at Miss Ye and Miss Xu. Doesn't Miss Ye look much younger than Miss Xu? It doesn't seem appropriate for Miss Xu to call Miss Ye 'sister,' does it?"
For Lu Wei, since his little peach had spoken, it was the truth regardless of whether it was true or not.
He glanced at Ye Ruan and Xu Rui with feigned seriousness, then nodded earnestly and said, "Yes, Miss Xu looks much older than Miss Ye."
When Xu Rui heard the word "old," her face stiffened. This word was incredibly hurtful to a woman.
Ye Ruan smiled and said, "Miss Xu, there's no need to be so polite as to call me 'sister' or 'younger sister.' Just call me Ye Ruan!"
Xu Hongbo immediately raised his glass to smooth things over, saying, "That's right, we're all about the same age, our names match, and we're even closer. Come on, President Gu, let's have a drink and wish each other success in securing the Meyer Company project this time, and for continued sincere cooperation in the future!"
Gu Chen picked up his wine glass and lightly clinked it against Xu Hongbo's, but his expression remained unchanged.
The chef prepared authentic Chengdu cuisine, with a spicy flavor, so much so that later on, the red wine in the stemmed glasses was replaced with red wine.
Aside from the minor incident at the beginning, the meal was generally well-received by both hosts and guests.
After lunch, Gu Chen had the servants take Xu Hongbo, Xu Rui, Lu Wei, and Tao Tao to another villa in the manor to rest.
He took Ye Ruan's hand and returned to the Peppa Pig-themed manor across the street.
It was supposed to be lunch break time, but Ye Ruan had taken a nap at the Su family manor in the morning and wasn't sleepy at all.
Gu Chen played ball in the morning, took a shower, and came out of the bathroom. Seeing her still looking for a book in the room, he picked her up and threw her on the bed, pinning her beneath him. His deep eyes shone brightly as he looked at her. "Want it?"
