Chapter 53 Awakening
Sure enough, Su Pu overslept the next morning.
Waking up groggily, Su Pu glanced at her watch and silently broke down, her little face scrunched up as she ran to the bathroom.
Why do I have to work the early shift the day after a hangover?!
Ouyang, I'll fight you to the death!!!
The first order this morning still came from the CEO's office on the top floor.
The barista, having taken the order, handed the receipt directly to Su Pu, saying, "Little Su, this order is yours!"
Su Pu smiled, for the first time not wanting to take the order—
Who would have thought that I would wake up to find my foil next to my bed in the bedroom?
Her mind was filled with fragments of memories from last night. Su Pu vaguely remembered going to her husband with a sword to demand an explanation.
Then came the heroic act of insisting on taking off her husband's pajamas and wearing them herself...
No, he's this violent when he's drunk?
Last time it was fighting, this time it's stripping people of their clothes, they've done absolutely nothing but evil...
Even in this state, when I left home this morning, Uncle Wang still said he wanted to have a drink with me this weekend to test his drinking capacity...
He can't hold his liquor at all!
If your drinking etiquette is so bad, what's the use of just having a high alcohol tolerance?
Su Pu suffered another mental breakdown.
Finally, a coffee that should have taken fifteen minutes to make took him a full half hour to slowly make before he finally made his way to the top floor.
Su Pu carried the coffee and walked forward with a conflicted expression.
When I see Li Jichuan later, should I pretend to have forgotten everything?
What if he blushes so badly he explodes?
Just as Su Pu was thinking this, a figure blocked her way.
"Just give me the coffee," Su Hui said dismissively, blocking Li Jichuan's office door. "From now on, when you bring coffee, just hand it to me. President Li is very busy and doesn't have time to entertain you..."
Su Pu stood frozen in place.
Can't we even deliver coffee anymore?
Isn't this a matter between him and Li Jichuan? Why is Su stopping it...?
Oh, right. Su Hui is already an intern here, so delivering coffee should be left to the interns.
But I'm not happy...
I'm unhappy, unhappy, unhappy, unhappy!
Su Pu hugged the takeout bag tightly, intending to push her way inside.
Are you crazy?!
Su pushed him away, almost spilling his coffee.
"What are you doing? Even if Li Jichuan is your husband, this is still an office setting! Don't mix business with personal matters and delay President Li's work!"
Taking advantage of Su Pu's moment of deep thought, Su Hui finally snatched the takeout bag and sent the little mute away.
That's really troublesome...
...
Li Jichuan was discussing business with Anderson when the office door opened. Li Jichuan glanced at the time, and a smile instantly appeared on his lips.
However, the smile vanished instantly when he saw who it was.
"Mr. Li, I've brought you coffee, and I've also prepared dessert—a strawberry Napoleon!"
Su entered carrying a tray, her body reeking of strong perfume.
That was the same fragrance as Li Jichuan's, but he wore so much that it looked gaudy and heavy.
Su Hui put down her things, holding the tray in her arms, and looked at Li Jichuan with a bright smile, seeking praise.
You only asked me to order coffee, but I bought you your favorite dessert from the hardest-to-get shop. Aren't I amazing?
Unexpectedly, Li Jichuan continued to look towards the door.
Where is Su Pu?
Su Hui's friendly smile froze. "Su, Su Pu, he just left the coffee on the front desk and left... He was probably busy serving other customers, right?"
“Is that so?” Li Jichuan pondered for a moment. “Yes, he’s usually a bit busy at this time.”
After delivering the items, Su Hui didn't leave. She pretended to help wipe Li Jichuan's desk and arranged the fresh flowers she had specially changed that morning.
This is the work of a renowned florist, so vibrant and beautiful. Doesn't it deserve your praise?
But Li Jichuan just happens to be an oblivious person, and he frowned as he looked at him.
"Is there anything else?"
“That’s all…” Su Hui stepped back dejectedly. “Then, if you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime.”
Li Jichuan made no further comment to him and continued discussing business with Anderson.
The door was closed from the outside.
Anderson teased, "Another one? You're really lucky with women!"
Li Jichuan sighed, "Don't even mention it, it's my aunt's spy!"
"He's still young, too impatient. He keeps trying to squeeze in all sorts of official business, and he only behaves himself after being explicitly refused..."
After joining the Li family, Li Jichuan was already used to such ulterior motives in getting close to them.
It seems like this kind of person appears every now and then.
While dealing with this group of people, Li Jichuan also developed a keen eye, realizing that Su Hui was not the first person to use such petty tricks.
"That's right, ever since he came, I've never seen Xiao Pu..."
Li Jichuan took a sip of coffee and said with a troubled expression.
Anderson had gotten used to this man's romantic thoughts; he couldn't stop talking about Su Pu.
Sometimes, Anderson really wanted to rush downstairs and drag Su Pu in front of Li Jichuan.
"This idiot likes you. If you don't hate him, please, please give it a try! He's driving me crazy!!!"
But no.
He knew Li Jichuan's personality; this man only did things he was sure of.
If a person cannot be certain that he can provide Su Pu with lasting happiness and support, he will never take that step.
Unable to leave, Anderson could only try to alleviate his longing for him, which was driving him crazy with annoyance.
"...However, if Su Hui is Su Pu's younger brother, then Su Pu's drunkenness this time might not just be because you stood him up!"
Anderson's rational analysis.
"He originally married you in place of his younger brother. Now that his brother has suddenly reappeared in your life, wouldn't anyone mind?"
Li Jichuan was stunned for a long time.
It took Anderson a while to nudge him on the shoulder, forcing him to come back to his senses.
What are you thinking about?
Li Jichuan finished his coffee.
"Ann, thank you!"
"Um?"
"You made me realize something, Su Pu, because I'm jealous..."
Anderson was taken aback again. "I didn't say that!"
Li Jichuan's eyes lit up.
"You only get jealous when you care about me, and jealousy is a necessary condition for love..."
Anderson, rubbing his temples, said, "Wait, I'm falling behind..."
How did this turn into a discussion about love?
"So, Su Pu is about to fall in love with me!"
Li Jichuan drew a conclusion.
"I can't let Su Hui live, Su Pu will misunderstand!"
"Huh? He's just an intern?" Anderson was dumbfounded.
Surely it's not necessary to go to such lengths to protect oneself?
Just what kind of demon is Su Pu?!
Li Jichuan stretched out his hands, revealing two bracelets on his wrists.
"They were all gifts from Su Pu."
"One on each hand..."
Anderson was puzzled. "What are you talking about!"
What Li Jichuan really wanted to express was that Su Pu had put a bracelet on one of his hands, and together they looked just like handcuffs.
Once you're handcuffed, there's no going back.
