Cheng Kou was loved in Su Yan's house just as much as the last time he met Grandpa Su in the mansion in City B.
Shen Wenzhou already treated her as his future daughter-in-law and cooked for her personally. Cheng Kou wanted to help but was pushed down on the sofa by Gu Luo.
"Mom likes to be alone when she's cooking." Gu Luo smiled slightly, "It was the same when I first came to your house."
Cheng Kou had no choice but to give up, but she was not idle either. Little Squid liked the "Little Fishhook" T-shirt very much and quickly put it on. Then she circled around Cheng Kou, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and took her hand to show her around.
"Aunt Fifth, look, this is my room." The little cuttlefish stood on tiptoe and turned the doorknob.
Even though Little Cuttlefish doesn't live here every day, the room is still spotless, with a special cabinet for toys such as Transformers, which little boys of this age like to play with. There is also a bookshelf with colorful children's books.
Cheng Kou touched the top of the little cuttlefish's head. This child grew up bathed in the love of his family. No wonder he is so innocent and kind-hearted.
If she and Su Yan had children in the future, they would definitely be this happy.
Thinking of this, Cheng Kou shook her head in amusement. She was really thinking too much. Not to mention that her parents had not yet nodded their approval, they had only been together for a short time and were still a long way from this step.
However, that kind of day is what she longs for and wants to work hard to achieve.
It must be because she had missed too much time that she felt that being with this person, even if they did nothing, was so sweet that it was sickening.
Su Lei was standing alone on the terrace smoking. He heard footsteps, turned around, leaned on the railing and watched his brother walking towards him.
Su Lei smiled and said, "Look, Mom likes Cheng Kou so much. I'm afraid she'll start urging you to get married tomorrow."
Seeing that Su Yan smiled but said nothing, Su Lei asked again: "What are your plans? When are you going to propose?"
"I originally wanted to get married within this year..." Su Yan smiled bitterly, "It may be a bit troublesome now. Her parents don't agree."
Su Lei was surprised in his heart but remained calm on the surface. His brother's conditions were so good that there were many wealthy wives who took the initiative to sell their daughters to Shen Wenzhou every year.
"It's not shameful to marry into our family, right?" Su Lei raised his eyebrows. "Are we Su family members afraid of this little difficulty?"
Su Yan shook his head: "No, her parents misunderstood me."
Not wanting to talk about this matter again, Su Yan changed the subject: "Brother, on the eleventh of next month, I..."
Su Lei waved his hand and patted his straight back: "I know, you don't have to come to work that day."
Su Lei followed his brother's back as he walked back to the living room, and sighed silently. Perhaps because of the six-year age difference, Su Yan was not particularly close to him. When Su Yan was young, he was at the age of playing and was a little disgusted with this little guy. After being disgusted several times, Su Yan no longer clung to him and played by himself. It was probably at that time that the foundation of this cold personality was laid.
He had a few friends before high school, but after that incident, Su Yan transferred to another school and lived alone throughout high school.
As an older brother, I am naturally happy to see my younger brother gradually becoming more cheerful.
But, when will the thorn in his heart be pierced
Lu Hanting, who had always been in good health, was caught in the rain and fell ill, suffering from a cold and fever. When he was almost recovered, he gathered all the employees in Nanshan for a meeting and seriously demanded that all of them must attend the magazine's 15th anniversary celebration.
Lu Hanting personally sent an invitation to Su Yan, and jokingly asked: "Is Cheng Kou attending as a Nanshan employee, or is she your female companion?"
Regarding this, Su Yan and Cheng Kou asked her opinion during dinner.
Hearing this, Cheng Kou put down his chopsticks, licked his lips, and said nervously, "I'm not ready to let my colleagues know yet."
"Yeah." Su Yan also agreed. It was indeed not a good time or a suitable occasion.
Cheng Kou smiled apologetically, and in return Su Yan held her face in his hands and said in a serious voice: "Koubao, I'm not angry, I support your decision."
Cheng Kou tilted her head and rubbed his hand, speaking from her heart: "Everyone has a task this time. I can't stand by you and watch while my colleagues are busy."
Su Yan didn't expect that she only considered such a superficial level, and couldn't help but rub her face.
"Okay, I understand."
On the day of the 15th anniversary celebration, Su Yan wore an Italian handmade twill suit with a dark bow tie, and he looked more handsome than usual.
His female companion today is Shen Ru. Assistant Fang had prepared an evening dress for her early in the morning, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
Su Yan took Cheng Kou to pick out a dress. Cheng Kou was dazzled by the selection and looked at him for help. As soon as he saw her look, he thought of Beng Beng. He walked over and took a few glances, and picked out a black backless dress with lace embellishment, showing off her smooth back and smooth spine.
The stylist tied up her long silky hair and put pearl earrings on her.
There was a flash of surprise in Su Yan's eyes. He clenched his right fist, put it in front of his lips, coughed lightly, and then stretched it towards her.
"Let's go."
Su Yan sent Cheng Kou to the meeting place with Shen Yinran, said hello to Xia Linchen who was taking them to the banquet, and then turned the car around to pick up Shen Ru.
When Shen Ru entered the banquet hall with Su Yan's arm around her, she attracted everyone's attention. In order not to embarrass her boss, she straightened her back and walked calmly.
On the way past Cheng Kou, she even winked at her future boss lady.
The Lu family is a large family that has been around for several generations in City C. Naturally, the guests attending the banquet include celebrities from City C's upper class, as well as those well-known stars.
Su Yan didn't need to smile and mingle with all kinds of people. His purpose was just to represent the Su family. Lu Hanting had some free time and came over to talk to him. The two of them clinked their glasses and symbolically drank the dark red liquid. They stood in the corner and looked at the center of the venue. Cheng Kou and Shen Yinran were also there.
Lu Hanting took another sip of the wine. He even suspected that he had just stared at Cheng Kou for two hours because he had nothing better to do.
Qin Shan also came over and dared to show a lack of interest and bored expression in front of the organizer.
She pulled Su Yan's wrist, motioning him to follow her.
Su Yan held her hand, handed the wine glass to a passing waiter, and pointed to the terrace in the other direction.
The meaning in his eyes was very clear. There were fewer people over there, making it more convenient for the two of them to talk.
Qin Shan thought about it and felt that the place Su Yan mentioned was indeed better, so he nodded and followed him out of the banquet hall.
"The one who will marry into the Su family in the end will definitely be Qin Shan. Some people should stop dreaming." Although their corner was remote, it secretly became the focus because of the two men standing there.
There were also people from the provincial television station who came, including the leading actress Du Lanshan and the newcomer Luna who was being promoted by the higher-ups.
The person who spoke just now was Luna, who was wearing a pink long skirt with a long skirt. She was a few years younger than Du Lanshan, looked sweet and lovely, and had just been transferred from the local station not long ago. She was in the limelight. There were rumors that she was a relative of the station director, so she dared to challenge Du Lanshan openly.
Du Lanshan didn't respond, still looking as refreshing and capable as usual.
Cheng Kou happened to be standing nearby and gave her a worried look.
Luna took Du Lanshan's silence as a consent and became even more arrogant. She walked closer with a glass of red wine and sneered in Du Lanshan's ear.
She lowered her voice and said, "How is it, Mr. Liu's bed, is it good to have sex?"
Du Lanshan's body stiffened slightly, and she trembled almost imperceptibly. She said coldly, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Tell me, what else is there that everyone doesn't know?" Luna said sarcastically, "Oh, by the way, you should act more like the daughter of a wealthy family. It's obvious that your acting skills are not up to par."
"You recognize Mr. Liu as your godfather. Does his wife know?" Seeing that Du Lanshan did not refute, she smiled and continued, "It's better not to. Mrs. Liu is a famous tigress. She can crush your daughter to death with just her little finger."
Seeing Du Lanshan's pale face, Cheng Kou guessed that it was related to what Luna said, and walked forward with some concern.
"Lanshan, are you okay?" Cheng Kou grabbed her wrist and shook it gently.
Her palm was warm. Du Lanshan took a step back as if she had been electrocuted and took the opportunity to break free from Cheng Kou.
Luna watched coldly and said with a smile: "Du Lanshan, someone like you actually has a little white rabbit who wants to be friends with you."
She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but looked at Cheng Kou with sympathy.
Poor little white rabbit, be careful or the big bad wolf will eat you until not even a bone is left.
Cheng Kou looked at her and snorted coldly, then turned around and was about to leave. He was anxious to stop her, but Luna suddenly lost her balance. Before she fell, she reached out and grabbed the velvet cloth on the table, knocking over several glasses of red wine.
The commotion here attracted everyone's attention, including Luna who fell, the spilled red wine and broken glass on the ground, and Cheng Kou who was in a panic.
