Gu Yuan has always been generous, especially towards Chi Yu. Before she knew Chi Yu’s identity, she initially gave him some resources for him to seize, and as their relationship deepened, she provided top-tier resources.

But now, Gu Yuan hasn’t intervened in any of Chi Yu’s affairs in the entertainment industry.

Her generosity went towards buying clothes for Chi Yu.

After selecting, she bought Chi Yu over a dozen outfits, totaling in the seven-figure range starting with the number five.

After buying clothes, she rented out the store to buy shoes.

She also picked out a pile of ties.

There were too many to carry, so all were delivered home by store staff.

Chi Yu had a sentence brewing in his heart for a long time. After leaving the store, he cheekily asked, "Yuanyuan, does this count as a reward for my hard work last night?"

Gu Yuan: "...No."

He joked, "Then it seems I didn’t work hard enough last night?"

"It’s not related to that, it’s related to my generosity."

"..."

After buying clothes, the two of them went to the supermarket on mall G1 level to buy groceries.

Gu Yuan led a domestic life, which Chi Yu hadn’t realized until today. The Gu Yuan he had in mind was a little fairy who didn’t partake in worldly affairs. But he knew that little fairies eventually fall for ordinary folks, just like him.

See, how happy an ordinary guy like him is.

That night, Gu Yuan cooked three dishes and a soup. Each dish may not be Chi Yu’s favorite, but they were certainly her specialties. Though Chi Yu was used to a refined young master’s life, he reverted to simplicity with Gu Yuan. Big-pot stews suited him just fine.

Halfway through the meal, Chi Yu suddenly felt a pang of sadness. He put down his chopsticks, gazing somewhere, trying hard to show a sorrowful look to Gu Yuan...

Gu Yuan obliged, glancing at him, "What crazy notion are you having now?"

Chi Yu: "...Me." He choked up.

His chair shifted closer, sitting next to Gu Yuan, he said in a pitiful voice, "Yuanyuan, will you always treat me like this?"

"Clearly..." Gu Yuan paused while holding her chopsticks.

Hope for reconciliation ignited in Chi Yu’s heart, only to be extinguished the next second as Gu Yuan glanced sideways and said, "No."

In sum: Clearly not.

"Does this count as a slap followed by a sweet date? The pain is real, the sweetness is real too. It can mix honey with poison, killing everything in sight."

’Clap-’

A sound of a table slap echoed, Chi Yu’s back straightened up, looking innocently at Gu Yuan.

Only to see Gu Yuan’s hand slapping the table, glaring fiercely: "Are you going to eat or not?"

"Yes!" Chi Yu immediately picked up his chopsticks.

Seeing him quiet down, Gu Yuan pressed her advantage: "If you don’t finish two bowls today at lunch, don’t expect to eat my cooking ever again."

Just like fame for humans and growth for pigs, what is Chi Yu afraid of? Gu Yuan’s threats.

So he indeed ate two bowls at lunch today, feeling quite stuffed but also happy, because it was cooked by Gu Yuan herself. Although not the first time eating her homemade meals, this time was made just for him.

The difference lies in one being homemade, the other being cooked just for him.

Look, how happy he is.

Chi Yu, you need to learn to be content, understand? If you don’t, you’re in for some tough times!

...

At five in the afternoon, Chi Yu drove Gu Yuan to her company.

Arriving at the company building, Chi Yu parked the car, looked at the person in the back seat, "Boss, we’re here."

Before getting in the car, Chi Yu opened the front passenger seat, but Gu Yuan went straight to the back seat, reasoning: "When a driver is driving, the boss never sits in the front, it’s the rule."

"...Alright." Who asked him to eagerly volunteer to drive?

If he knew earlier, he wouldn’t have driven himself, letting the driver do it would have been better.

Seeing Gu Yuan already out of the car, Chi Yu humbly online, "Boss, I’m free today, can I go inside the company with you and wait until you’re off work?"

Gu Yuan closed the car door, "If you don’t want tomorrow’s headlines to be about you, feel free to go in."

This was never Chi Yu’s weakness, he never fears it, he even wishes they would make it public immediately... but then he thinks, make public what? His entangled relationship with his ex-girlfriend, and unclear ties with his ex-wife?

He cares nothing about ruining his reputation.

He worries about affecting Gu Yuan.

If only Yuanyuan would reconcile with him, it would be great. He has yet to tell Gu Yuan that he carries the household registration with him every day, ready to go to the civil affairs bureau any time...

He unfastened his seatbelt and got out of the car, Gu Yuan hadn’t gone inside yet and was waiting there for him... let’s just say she’s waiting for him, otherwise, who else, right?

Approaching her, Gu Yuan reached out her hand to him.
