Su Yan slept very well that night. The next morning, he drove directly to Building A of Su’s company. He went up to the top floor without any obstruction and knocked on the door of Su Lei’s office.
"Brother, is the flight for the project in H City this afternoon?" He then made a decision without questioning, "I'll go and discuss it."
Su Lei raised his eyebrows. It was rare for Su Yan to ask him a request, so he certainly wouldn't refuse, nor did he want to refuse. It was just that he had been used to his indifferent face for many years, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Give my regards to my future brothers and sisters-in-law." This was the only thing he could say.
Su Yan hummed in disbelief. He was not surprised that Su Lei knew his purpose. Anyway, he had already got what he wanted. He nodded to Su Lei and said, "I'll leave first."
He took a few steps, stopped as if he remembered something, turned around and said to Su Lei, "You've been away from the company for so long, and I've been handling all these things. I'll take a week off after we finish negotiating the contract. Is that not too much?" He looked directly at his brother, as if he was talking about a light-hearted topic like "The weather is so nice today."
Now that he has spoken, what else can Su Lei say? Things have come to this point. If he doesn't do what he wants, he might be holding his breath and preparing to get back at them somewhere else.
Forget it, forget it. He finally understood that no matter who he offended, he should not offend a repressed person.
Su Lei waved his hand, meaning that he agreed.
Su Yan took Shen Ru to H City that afternoon and completed the work as quickly as possible. He asked Shen Ru to only book her own return ticket, and booked a suite in a platinum five-star hotel in S City for him.
Shen Ru was not afraid of him privately, so she asked curiously, "Boss Su, are you looking for Boss Rong?"
She is definitely the first secretary in history who dares to pry into the boss's private affairs.
After she reminded him, Su Yan remembered that Rong Yan seemed to be in City S as well.
Su Yan drove through the toll booth before he remembered to contact Rong Yan, so he put on his Bluetooth headset and dialed his number.
Rong Yan had been in S City for a month and was bored to death. When he heard that Su Yan had also arrived in S City, he immediately pestered him to meet him.
After Su Yan's ruthless rejection, he could still say plausibly, "I don't want to see you, I want to see the little cutie."
Su Yan: “…”
The speed at which news spreads within their family is also fast enough...
Su Yan drove to the gate of S City Normal University and then called Cheng Kou.
Cheng Kou came out quickly, wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts, which you could tell she had changed into in a hurry. She opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, before she could catch her breath, she blinked her bright eyes and asked, "Why are you here?"
Su Yan unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, handed it to her, and said lightly, "I'm on a business trip and came to see you by the way."
"Oh, what a coincidence." Cheng Kou obviously believed his words and asked, "How long can you stay?"
There was a hint of anticipation in her eyes, cautiously and not obviously. Su Yan curved the corners of his lips and answered her, "One week."
"That's enough." Cheng Kou murmured, and the next second he smiled, "Where are we going now?"
Su Yan started the car and said, "Go find Rong Yan."
Rong Yan has an apartment in the center of City S, and their destination is there. Su Yan told her that the food cooked by Rong Yan's chef is very delicious, and he always takes the chef with him wherever he goes, even the last time he went to the west.
Su Yan smiled and said to her, "Let's go over and have a free meal."
As soon as she entered the room, Cheng Kou was hugged by Rong Yan, so passionately that she couldn't breathe. Su Yan pulled him away by the collar at the back of his neck.
Facing Su Yan's displeased gaze, Rong Yan was not annoyed. He smiled and looked at Cheng Kou and said, "Hahaha, little cutie, I heard that you think Su Yan and I are lovers, hahaha!"
Rong Yan had already recovered from the anger he had when he first heard it, and now he was happy to use this to provoke Su Yan.
Cheng Kou smiled at him awkwardly, "Sorry."
"Rong Yan." Su Yan raised his chin indifferently and signaled without mercy, "Shut up and stay away from us."
Rong Yan smiled and said to Cheng Kou, "My dear, don't be fooled by his cold attitude towards outsiders. He is actually quite reserved and enjoys mocking others."
Su Yan raised his eyebrows, "I see you are enjoying it, aren't you?"
Cheng Kou sometimes wondered if Rong Yan really loved Su Yan as deeply as the rumors said, otherwise why did he only favor Su Yan and speak coldly to him, and every time after being scolded by Su Yan, he still looked extremely happy.
At that time, the young and uneducated Cheng Kou didn’t know that there is a type of people in the world who are classified as “masochists”.
Mr. Rong Yan, who was a "masochist", pulled Cheng Kou to sit on the rattan chair on the terrace, and then drove Su Yan out to buy wine. The floor of this apartment was not high enough, so they clearly saw Su Yan's car driving out of the underground garage.
"I've seen you a long time ago." Rong Yan smiled, looking at the car that was getting farther and farther away. "He really likes to keep everything to himself. So, I'm sincerely happy for you guys that he's like this now."
"Thank you." Cheng Kou responded with a sincere smile. She was very happy to be recognized by her lover and friends.
"My dear, I think you should look through Su Yan's wallet. There must be a surprise." Rong Yan blinked, "Come on, love rival!"
"Pfft—" She really couldn't bear the title of love rival.
"Didn't Shen Ru and the others always say that Mr. Su's indulgence of Mr. Rong has no limits?" Rong Yan said nonchalantly, not realizing how shocking his words were. "They are just talking nonsense. I have always listened to Su Yan since I was a child. But I think you will slowly understand his indulgence without limits."
Su Yan came back soon, and his indifferent eyes swept over his childhood friend, then turned to Cheng Kou and said, "Stay away from him, stupidity is contagious."
Cheng Kou: “…”
"Xiao Yanzi, what are you talking about!" Rong Yan said angrily, "After all, I am also your rumored boyfriend!"
"How come I don't know?" Su Yan half-closed his eyes and said slowly, word by word, "Single, body, dog."
Rong Yan ran away crying and ran towards the arms of food.
You city people are really good at abusing dogs!
Rong Yan tearfully tells a truth—it is terrible for a reserved person to become overtly flirtatious.
Cheng Kou watched the whole process of their childhood sweethearts bickering with a smile, and followed Su Yan to the restaurant to eat. Sometimes she felt that Rong Yan's personality was really good, and he could get along with her naturally without much effort, unlike someone...
After dinner, the two of them did not stay long. Su Yan drove Cheng Kou back to school, packed up their luggage, and took her to the hotel. It was almost the most luxurious hotel in S City. Cheng Kou had been studying here for so many years, but she had only heard of it and had only passed by this street. At first, she considered that if she left, Shen Yinran would be left alone in the dormitory, so she refused Su Yan once, but he insisted. In addition, when Shen Yinran heard that Su Yan had almost thrown her out with her bag after coming to S City, she got in the car obediently.
They lived in a two-bedroom suite on the top floor of the hotel. Su Yan gave the larger one to Cheng Kou and helped her put her backpack in it.
Cheng Kou looked around and finally looked at Su Yan and asked, "I heard before that there is a swimming pool in the suite of this hotel..."
"Oh?" Su Yan responded, looking at her with a half-smile, "Cheng Kou, do you want to watch me swim, or do you want to swim with me?"
"I don't want either of them." Cheng Kou glared at him, pouted her lips and replied hypocritically.
Su Yan looked around the brightly lit room, wrapped his arms around her soft body from behind, leaned close to her ear and asked, "Are you not afraid now?"
Cheng Kou suddenly remembered that she had sent him a text message the night before telling him that she was afraid of the dark, and then he appeared here, which was so sweet to her heart.
"Su Yan." She called his name softly.
"Hmm?" A deep voice was close to my ear, with a hint of doubt in it.
"Su Yan, Su Yan, Su Yan." She called out three times in a row, and in the end she didn't know why she laughed out loud.
"Yeah." He still responded to her with a single syllable, but it had a more affirmative tone, as if he was responding to her calling his name - Cheng Kou, I'm here.
The next morning when Su Yan walked out of the bedroom, Cheng Kou had already finished washing up and was sitting cross-legged on the sofa talking on the phone with Shen Yinran. She was wearing simple home clothes, as fresh as stream water, and he felt happy at a glance.
Cheng Kou spoke very quickly, like a chirping bird. Su Yan had no intention of eavesdropping on their conversation, so he turned and went to the terrace. But after a few minutes, he heard Cheng Kou's voice rise a few degrees, and she seemed a little angry.
"What's wrong?" Su Yan walked over, stood in front of her, and asked with concern.
Cheng Kou covered the microphone and quickly and quietly told him the whole story. It turned out that today was Xia Linchen's birthday. Although Cheng Kou and Shen Yinran were not in City C, they wanted to celebrate for him, so they ordered a cake and prepared gifts. But the security guard at the door said that he would not let the courier in no matter what. Cheng Kou explained for a long time on the phone, but the security guard still refused to let him in.
Su Yan sat next to her and motioned for her to give him the phone.
Cheng Kou watched him take the phone and easily resolve the issue with just a few words. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the differences between people.
However, it was rare for her to see Su Yan's "domineering president" side, and it was really a different feeling.
"What did you give him?"
"Just a wide-angle lens, to please him." Cheng Kou curled his lips, "It's my monthly salary."
Su Yan chuckled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "You two are really good friends."
Cheng Kou still had to work during the day, so Su Yan drove out alone and wandered around aimlessly.
Just because he doesn't say something doesn't mean he doesn't care.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Yan received a call from Cheng Kou, asking him to come to S University.
Su Yan was nearby, and it took him just over ten minutes to reach the east gate of S University. He parked the car, entered the campus of S University from the east gate, and called Cheng Kou again to ask where she was.
Cheng Kou showed him the way. "When you enter the east gate, you should see the School of Economics and Management. Walk along the lake, pass the Law School, and you should be able to see the Journalism School. Then walk to the left. I'll be waiting for you there."
The campus of S University is very beautiful. The blue lake is very clear. There is a wooden bridge and pavilion in the distance. With the clear blue sky, the scenery is picturesque.
Su Yan followed her instructions and quickly walked to the place she said, but he did not see Cheng Kou.
Just as he was hesitating whether to make a phone call, a clear voice called his name.
"Su Yan."
He turned around following the sound and saw Cheng Kou standing there with a smile on her face. Behind her were falling peach blossoms, forming a heart-shaped outline.
"Surprise." She smiled at him with curved eyebrows and eyes, and she was more beautiful than the peach blossoms behind her.
Su Yan also smiled, his eyes gradually softened. He never expected that there would be such a surprise today.
Cheng Kou walked towards him step by step, her voice was crisp and a little sweet.
She said to him, "Happy birthday, Su Yan."
Su Yan's smile grew wider, and he slowly opened his arms towards her.
