I went along with it and said, "Yes, it's good that you know! Your punishment is to finish all this porridge!"
I left Li Yunwei's residence and returned home at 10 p.m.
I stared at the design on the software, but I just couldn't calm my mind.
Thinking of Gu Yanqing's ruthlessness, Gu Yutian's fate, Su Shenglin, and Old Master Su...
Finally, he thought of Xu Qianning again, this time from Old Master Su.
Since Grandpa Su is not feeling well, will Xu Qianning go to visit him with her elders again?
Should I ask Su Shenglin about this?
If I ask, will it make me seem petty and nitpicky?
But if I don't ask... I'm afraid I'll be impolite in front of Old Master Su.
I was agitated for a while, then suddenly realized I was starting to lose control of myself, so I immediately stopped!
The next morning, while I was still asleep, I vaguely heard a knock on the door.
I thought it belonged to someone else, so I ignored it.
But soon the phone rang.
I forced my eyes open and grabbed my phone; it was Su Shenglin.
"Hey, why are you up so early—" I was so sleepy that I spoke weakly.
"Open the door, I've brought you breakfast," Su Shenglin said with a smile.
I snapped back to reality. "Was that you knocking?"
"Um."
Oh my god, I grabbed my phone, jumped out of bed, rushed out, and opened the door for him.
Su Shenglin stood at the door, holding a thermos in his hand, his handsome face smiling, his eyes gentle.
"Did you stay up late again last night? It's almost seven o'clock, and you're sleeping like a log." He teased me with a smile, stepped into the house, and bent down to kiss me.
"No!" I quickly covered my mouth, leaned back, and dodged his kiss.
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't even brush my teeth, I was all filthy."
I gave a brief answer, turned around and went into the house, heading straight to the bathroom to wash up.
Su Shenglin put the breakfast on the table and then walked to the bathroom door to stand guard over me.
My mouth was full of bubbles, and I glanced back at him; he was still smiling.
"Don't look anymore, go sit on the sofa for a while..." I refused, my words mumbled.
But he didn't move.
I felt increasingly embarrassed, so I could only push him out and close the door.
After I finished washing up, he immediately opened the thermos and laid out the breakfast items one by one.
Sea cucumber porridge, soup dumplings, corn and walnut milk, and two eggs.
"Wow, this is such a feast! Have you eaten?" I sat down with a smile, thinking that having a boyfriend was pretty good.
This is something I've never experienced in the six years I've been with Gu Yanqing.
"You've eaten, eat it while it's hot."
"This is too much, why don't you eat some more with me?" I got up and went to the kitchen to get another bowl, then shared some with him.
"How is your grandfather's health? I wanted to ask you last night, but I was worried you were busy, so I was too embarrassed to call."
I'm telling the truth. Last night I originally wanted to call and ask, but I was afraid that he was with the old man and that calling would be a bother.
Su Shenglin nodded as he drank his porridge and said, "It's not a big problem. The old man is over eighty years old and has suffered a lot of injuries from his time in the army. He's prone to getting sick when the weather gets cold. The military doctors have been staying at home these past few days, so he should be fine."
"Oh, it's good that you're alright."
I replied, but then I remembered what I had been thinking about last night and wondered whether I should ask.
Su Shenglin glanced at me a few times, as if he also had something to say.
I smiled and decided to ask directly, "What are you trying to say?"
He was a little embarrassed, and smiled slightly before saying, "I was thinking... if you have time these next few days, I'll take you back to see the old man."
ah……
I was slightly taken aback; it was still about meeting the parents.
However, this time the request was for a higher-ranking person, Old Master Su.
“You know, I trained in the army with my grandfather for many years. The old man taught me more than my parents. He always hoped that I would find a partner and settle down as soon as possible. Now, finally, I have won the heart of the girl I like…”
I understand what Su Shenglin means.
From his perspective, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this consideration.
It's only natural to want to bring someone home after finally winning them over and introduce them to your most respected and beloved elders.
But I have been quite busy lately.
"Tomorrow... my case with Gu Yutian will go to court. I'm going to Milan next week, and by the time I get back from my business trip, it will be the end of the year."
Su Shenglin remained silent, his expression suggesting a dilemma.
I immediately said, "Then let's go this weekend. I'll go this weekend."
His expression brightened a bit. "Are you free this weekend?"
"If you squeeze in the time, you can always find it."
I'm going to Milan on a business trip next week, and I'll be very busy this weekend. I need to coordinate the itinerary with my colleagues, make sure the final entries are ready, and follow up on a whole host of things.
But Su Shenglin has already mentioned it twice, so I can't very well refuse again.
“Okay, then it’ll be the weekend.” He nodded with a smile, his eyes showing eagerness.
