Su Kaiming was determined to make early arrangements. Originally, he had planned to take it slow, but the old man's attitude left him with no choice.
One weekend, the Su family gathered at the Su family's old mansion for dinner again. Su Rongqi didn't seem as serious as last time. There was even a faint smile on his lips.
As soon as Su Yue entered the door, he noticed it and asked, "Dad, what makes you so happy?" Su Rongqi was a man who was habitually serious. It was rare to see him so happy.
Su Kaiming also pricked up his ears, trying to catch any useful information.
"Take your seats," Su Rongqi greeted everyone to sit at the dinner table and then picked up his chopsticks first.
Seeing Su Rongqi start eating, everyone else began to dig in. Su Yue was still curious and continued to ask, "Dad, you haven't told us yet. What's making you so happy?"
Su Rongqi shook his head slightly. "It's nothing."
Nothing? No one would believe that! Su Yue thought for a while and tentatively said, "By the way, Dad, you know that Yuze announced his relationship recently, right?"
"Yeah," Su Rongqi nodded.
"Yuze handled the situation very well. Really. None of our Su family members were harassed by paparazzi," Su Yue said appreciatively. While speaking, he carefully observed Su Rongqi's expression.
Both Su Kaiming and Su Yue noticed that Su Rongqi seemed even happier when he heard Su Yuze's name. It seemed that the old man's good mood was mostly related to Yuze.
Su Kaiming involuntarily tightened his grip on his chopsticks. The old man's appreciation for Su Yuze remained unchanged. This incident might have rekindled the old man's admiration for Su Yuze, because from the very beginning, the old man had wanted Su Yuze to be the head of the family.
Su Yue seemed really happy for Su Yuze. "I said Yuze was so capable. He must be able to handle it."
Su Rongqi nodded and then said, "Okay, stop talking and eat."
The old man was in a good mood! Su Yue replied with a smile, "Sure."
Su Kaiming lowered his eyes and then silently lowered his head to eat. The food tasted like wax in his mouth, and a hint of malice flashed across his eyes.
When they got home, Su Kaiming pulled Liu Rulan into the bedroom and locked the door. "You saw Dad's attitude, right?"
Liu Rulan nodded. "Now, it seems that no one can change the old man's mind."
"Yes," the old man was probably thinking about how to persuade Su Yuze to come back home!
Liu Rulan heaved a heavy sigh. "Husband, I think we should advance our plan."
Su Kaiming slightly curled his lips. "I was thinking the same thing."
"Let's do it in the next couple of days," Su Kaiming said.
"Okay."
...
After Su Yuze announced his relationship, he refused to accept any interviews. However, his affection for Su Rou was genuine, which piqued the curiosity of the media. But... maybe it was just the way they showed their love for each other.
On her way to work, Su Rou bought a newspaper. During the lunch break, she saw a related topic in it. She checked the time. It was almost lunch break. So she picked up the newspaper and walked in. "Brother Ze, it's time to take a break."
Su Yuze typed on the keyboard for a while before putting down his work. "Are you hungry? Let's go out for lunch."
"Sure."
"Wait for me a little while," Su Yuze said. "Come here."
Su Rou obediently walked over and was pulled onto his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and continued to operate the computer with his hands. But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the newspaper in Su Rou's hand.
"What's this?" Su Yuze asked.
"Just wait. I'll show you something later."
Su Yuze finished his operation on the computer and then put away his laptop and the other two computers. "Okay, what do you want to show me?"
Su Rou spread out the newspaper in front of Su Yuze and pointed to a topic on it. "Look at this," Su Rou said. "Some people even think our relationship is fake."
"..." Su Yuze looked at it for a while and then crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash can. "They're just looking for trouble. Do we look like we're faking it? Huh?"
Su Rou looked at their posture. It really didn't look like they were faking it. How could a fake couple be so intimate? "How about we take a selfie like this and post it online? Then people will believe us."
"I don't want to show my little Rou'er to so many otaku," Su Yuze said unhappily. Posting Su Rou's photo online was simply a challenge to his possessiveness! How many dirty otaku were there out there, masturbating to the photos of online celebrities? Just imagining their disgusting looks made him feel sick.
Su Rou didn't quite understand the meaning of "otaku" and asked, "What do otaku do?"
"..." It would be too vulgar to explain it, so Su Yuze decided not to pollute his little Rou'er's ears. "Aren't you hungry? Let's go out for lunch."
"Okay." Su Rou nodded and stood up, but she still continued to ask, "What do otaku do?"
Su Yuze narrowed his eyes slightly. She still asked? He had tried so hard to change the topic. So he simply blocked her mouth with a kiss. After a lingering kiss, Su Yuze took Su Rou's hand. "Let's go."
"..." Su Rou nodded. But when they walked out of the office, she was still a little confused. "Brother Ze, what exactly do otaku do?" Why didn't he explain it to her?
She was still so curious! Su Yuze raised his eyebrows. "Little Rou'er, wasn't I obvious enough? If you keep asking, we won't go out for lunch. I'll just devour you."
Su Rou opened her mouth and seemed to understand. In short, otaku must be some kind of bad people.
Seeing that Su Rou had finally stopped asking, Su Yuze continued to hold her hand and walked downstairs.
At noon, everyone went out for lunch. Some employees with good family backgrounds didn't like the food in the company canteen and thought it didn't suit their taste. So they planned to go out in groups and split the bill. When they were about to go out, they ran into the president and... the president's wife.
Seeing their intertwined hands, most of the female employees were envious, while the male employees expressed their blessings. After all, once the president ended his single life, didn't that mean there would be more opportunities for them?
"Good afternoon, President. Good afternoon, Madam."
"President, Madam..."
In response to the greetings from his subordinates, Su Yuze just gave a faint "hmm", while Su Rou politely smiled at them.
"President, would you like to have lunch with us?" It was said that people in love were good-tempered. It would be good to get closer to the president.
