While Su Yue was engaged in a battle of wits with Su Hongyu's family, Su Yuze, on the other hand, had an easier time. He went to work at Shengshi every day. If there were no important matters in the afternoon, he would go straight home. Even if there were, it couldn't stop him from heading back.
"Aren't you worried that leaving work early so often is a bad idea?" Su Rou had been taking a nap on the sofa but was woken up by Su Yuze's movements.
"Can I take it that you're finding me annoying?" Su Yuze asked with a mischievous smile.
"Not really..." Su Rou shrank further under the thin blanket and showed him the time on her phone. "It's just that the time you spend at home is getting shorter every day. You might as well quit your job." It was 2:30 p.m. and Su Yuze had gone to work at 9:30 a.m., which meant he only worked for five hours. What was the point?
"I've been thinking about that."
"..." Su Rou was speechless. Could this man be less over - the - top? It was she who was pregnant, not him! Was it really necessary?
Su Yuze looked at the spacious sofa and then lay down on the outer edge. "I'll take a nap with my little Rou'er."
Su Rou was squeezed inside the sofa, huddled in Su Yuze's arms like a giant baby. She was silent for a few seconds. "Brother Ze, let's go to bed and sleep."
"Isn't the sofa nice?" Sleeping on the sofa could be quite romantic.
"..." "It's too cramped." Didn't he know how big he was? No matter how spacious the sofa was, it couldn't accommodate both of them. "You might crush the baby."
Hearing that he might crush the baby, Su Yuze moved aside, then picked up Su Rou from the sofa and walked upstairs. "Are you still sleepy?" Lately, the morning sickness of his little Rou'er seemed to have subsided, which relieved him. But then came her period of excessive sleepiness.
"A bit." Su Rou rubbed her eyes and yawned.
"Then take a nap." He never knew before that being pregnant was really such a tough thing.
"Didn't you say you'd sleep with me?" Su Rou lifted the quilt beside her and patted the bed, signaling Su Yuze to lie down.
"Okay."
...
Su Rou had been feeling drowsy lately. Once she closed her eyes, she would fall into a deep sleep. When she woke up in the morning, Su Yuze had already gone to work. She ruffled her naturally curly hair and lay in bed for a while to wake up before getting up.
"Miss, you're getting up later and later." Aunt Wang joked.
Even after getting up, Su Rou was still a bit sleepy. "Yeah..."
"Have some breakfast to wake yourself up." Aunt Wang said as she put the freshly heated food on the table.
While eating slowly, Su Rou said, "I haven't been to the company for ages. I'll go out at noon later."
Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment. "But the young master said..."
"I'm going to his place. Don't worry." Su Rou said. "Pregnant women need to go out for a walk, don't they? I've been cooped up at home for ages." She hadn't been to the company for almost half a month.
Aunt Wang thought for a while. If it was to the company, it should be okay.
"Aunt Wang, there are also the bodyguards sent by Brother Ze. What are you worried about?"
"Well... I should call the young master first." How could she not be worried? The miss was the young master's apple of the eye. If anything happened, who could take the responsibility? Maybe everyone would have to pay the price!
But Su Rou quickly finished her breakfast, grabbed her small bag and ran to the door to put on her shoes. "I'm going to surprise him. Don't call. I'm leaving."
Su Rou was so fast that Aunt Wang didn't even have time to react. She darted out like a rabbit.
It was rare for Su Rou to go out for a stroll. She didn't need to worry because there would be someone following her. She first went window - shopping for a while and then slowly took a taxi to Shengshi Company.
It had been a long time since she last came. She wondered if Su Yuze had found a young and beautiful secretary to replace her in her absence. Thinking of this, Su Rou suddenly smiled slyly. It was okay to find a pretty secretary, but she hoped he wouldn't do anything he shouldn't!
As soon as Su Rou walked in, she heard a female employee say with a smile, "I'll go and deliver the documents to the president."
"Oh - you have ulterior motives!" Dressed so beautifully to deliver documents to the president, she must have bad intentions!
Someone noticed Su Rou first and immediately shouted, "Ah, the president's wife..."
"Hey? President's wife, why are you here?"
More and more people began to notice Su Rou. Su Rou looked at their expressions curiously. "What's wrong? Why do you look like this?" Had they not seen her for too long?
"No..." The female employee who was going to deliver the documents to Su Yuze said, "I thought you and the president had broken up?"
Su Rou's face darkened. "Who spread the rumor? I didn't even know I had broken up!"
"I heard it from Xiaohuang. Since the president's wife hasn't come to work in the company for so long, she must have broken up with the president..." Oh my god, was it all a lie? God, she must have made a fool of herself in front of the president's wife!
Su Rou raised her eyebrows. "My relationship with the president is still very good. So..." Su Rou's gaze fell on the documents in the female employee's hand. "I'll deliver these for you."
The female employee didn't dare to say no. "Okay, okay..."
After Su Rou walked into the elevator, the female employee slowly came to her senses. "Ahhh, I'm going to kill the person who spread the rumor!" Who said the president had broken up? Who! She had been so embarrassed!
"Hmm? Then why didn't the president's wife come to the company for such a long time?"
"Yeah, yeah!" It wasn't their fault for thinking so!
"But she's here now, isn't she?"
"Alas... There's no chance!"
Su Rou took the elevator directly to the floor of the president's office. When she passed by her own desk, she found it empty and neatly organized. Nothing had been touched. It seemed that Su Yuze had taken good care of her things and had kept the secretary's position for her.
She smiled and knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in. "President, these are the documents that need your signature today."
Su Yuze frowned slightly. He was about to scold the person for being so impolite, but when he heard the voice, he suddenly looked up. "Little Rou'er?"
"Please call me Secretary Su."
Su Yuze chuckled. "Come here, Secretary Su."
Su Rou obediently walked over and put the documents on his desk. Su Yuze held her hand. "Did you come alone? Didn't I tell you to stay at home?"
"I was bored. I came to pay you a visit at work."
"Find anything?"
"Yes..." Su Rou said with a smile. "Someone spread a rumor that we've broken up! And there are women trying to take advantage of the situation!"
