“Nothing.” Qin Yue subconsciously says. Su Ni immediately gives him a brilliant smile, which makes Qin Yue react. His face is embarrassed and he says, “I’ll go out first.” Su Ni watches Qin Yue go out and closes the door. Then she feels greatly relieved. Looking at the gift box in front of her again, she feels nervous. In her memory, Gu Zechen has never given herself a gift. Is he suddenly enlightened?

It’s a ring. The smile on Su Ni’s face suddenly disappears. She almost holds it carefully, stares at it for two or three seconds, and mutters, “what the hell is Gu Zechen doing?” The diamond ring is not big, but it’s more exquisite. Moreover, it’s much more perfect than the ring she lost before. Su Ni grins. At that time, she was just playing coquettish with the stir of the atmosphere. She doesn’t expect that after that Gu Zechen would really give her a ring. Su Ni quickly dials Gu Zechen’s phone, and when she speaks, she calls him husband sweetly. Then she pretends not to understand and asks, “Nothing special, why did you send me the ring suddenly?” Gu Zechen is reading the document. When he hears Su Ni’s voice, which is sweet and a little greasy, he seems to shiver with his body. He touches his forehead and leans on the back of his chair, pretending to be careless: “as Mrs. Gu, you really need a ring.”

“Really?” Su Ni feels delighted from the bottom of her heart and says, “I will definitely keep it dearly. After all this is the first time Mr. Gu has given me a ring.” “No need.” Gu Zechen says seriously: “I bought it for you; and I want you to wear every day to prevent those media looking for a bone in an egg.” Of course, Gu Zechen remembers that when he got married at the beginning, he just went through the procedures. As for the wedding ceremony and rings, he didn’t need them on one hand, and he also wanted to let Su Ni down deliberately. But he just doesn’t know why when he sees Su Ni is so happy his heart begins to feel delighted, too. “Is it really just for dealing with journalists?” As soon as Su Ni hears Gu Zechen’s serious words and she cannot see the smile on his lips, she feels disappointed. But Gu Zechen’s answer is also quite cold without smile. He impatiently asks: “Otherwise, what do you think? I have enough money and have nothing to spend on but to buy you a ring?” “It can also be due to love, or that I have done well in this period, Hmm…” Su Ni is still dreaming, but before she finishes speaking, she hears the sound of hanging up. She looks down, and Gu Zechen really hangs up her phone. The corners of Su Ni’s mouth twitch a little and she says after a long time, “He is so bad-tempered.” Is he still angry about what happened last night?

Su Ni shakes her head and drives away the noise in her head. Then she looks at the ring that is still in the gift box and curls up her lips. Since it is sent by him, she should naturally find a way to let Gu Zechen wear it for her. Time flies. Su Ni is busy all day. Before five o’clock, Qin Yue says that Gu Zechen’s assistant is waiting downstairs. With that, Qin Yue hands over a gift box again and says with a smile, “it’s still from President Gu.” “Why does he give me two gifts a day?” Su Ni says as if she is angry, but the corners of his mouth betray her joy. Qin Yue understands and doesn’t avoid it. She asks directly, “how is your relationship with President Gu now?” “Just so so.” Su Ni says casually. Opening the gift box, she finds that it is the dress to be worn tonight, and she feels relieved. Qin Yue doesn’t speak, and Su Ni reacts quickly, looking at Qin Yue, and says, “You exactly know the relationship between me and President Gu. At present, he can maintain his family’s reputation, which is very good.” Qin Yue nods, “Try your best tonight.” Su Ni doesn’t speak. She pulls the corners of her mouth at him as a smile. Su Ni returns to the lounge and opens the dress completely. A black-green and one-shouldered lace dress catches her eyes. Is this aesthetics of a chauvinist man? Su Ni is a little disgusted.

She usually has a lot of dresses prepared, even today, she prepares them early. She looks at the black deep V dress wistfully and sighs in her heart. “If I don’t wear the dress brought by Gu Zechen, I’m afraid that guy’s face will turn black like coal. That’s all.” Su Ni takes a deep breath. After taking a bath, she finally chooses the dark green lace dress. After wearing it, Su Ni finds that the size is just right, as if it were tailored for her size exactly. She can’t help turning a circle in front of the mirror, and a circle of tassels on the bottom of the fish tail also turns. The dark green of her dress should set off her skin as white as lanolin, but the strawberry mark on her neck is more and more prominent now. “Really…” Su Ni frowns and complains in a low voice. It is impossible to hide it with a scarf. Su Ni thinks about it, so she has to pick up the foundation make-up and puts two more layers on the mark. Although it can’t be completely covered and a dark red mark exists, it can’t be found without careful look. Su Ni is relieved and finishes her makeup quickly. She picks up the gift box on her desk before going out.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

In the elevator, Su Ni takes a look at it. Soon, a smile grows on her lips. “Mrs. Gu.” Li Mo gets out of the car and sees Su Ni. He is first stunned, then quickly opens the back door and says respectfully, “President Gu tells us to go first, and he will arrive soon.” Su Ni nods. Several times during this period, Li Mo pretends to look at Su Ni casually, as if to talk with her. At last, on the contrary, Su Ni asks, “you are so busy, how can you still have time to choose a dress for me?” Li Mo quickly returns to seriousness and says: “in fact, a week ago, Mr. Gu asked a designer to come here and said that he wanted to customize a dress. I don’t know the details, but it must be Mrs. Gu’s dress.” “Customization?” Su Ni gets stunned, and can’t help crying out. She has thought that Gu Zechen bought one casually and perfunctorily. “Supposed to be.” The pride appears on Li Mo’s face. “Our president Gu has always been striving for perfection. As for this dress of you, President Gu has also participated in its design. I bet it’s the best dress I’ve seen so far.”

There must be exaggeration in these words. Because after Su Ni looks down again, there is no other outstanding point apart from the exquisite materials and fine workmanship. However, Su Ni naturally won’t say this in the presence of Gu Zechen’s assistant. Silence, sometimes is not only the default, but also a kind of resistance. It’s probably because Gu Zechen participates in the customization. When Su Ni gets off the car, she is a little happy and proud. She takes the bag and walks in full swing. Before she comes, she doesn’t ask what kind of banquet it is. As the housekeeper takes her to the depth of the private manor, she finds that it is Yin’s birthday party.
