The next day, Su Rui got up early in the morning, which frightened Mother Su, who was dragged to accompany Father Su for a morning run.

“Rui Rui, it’s the weekend and we aren’t in a rush to leave the house in the daytime today. You should have slept a little longer, why did you get up so early?” Liu Yue looked at her daughter, who was walking down the stairs and asked with a surprised expression.

There was also some concern in her voice.

Mrs Su didn’t forget that her daughter had recently taken eight exams in a week.

Initially, Su Rui had wanted to head downstairs quietly and leave the house. However, since her mother saw her, Su Rui has no choice but to face it calmly.

“I’m going on a date.” Su Rui said calmly as she blinked her eyes.

Listening to her daughter’s tone, Mrs Su didn’t believe that Su Rui was going on a date.

Besides, if she was really going on a date, who goes on a date this early?

“Where did you plan to go?” Liu Yue questioned as she glanced at Su Rui.

She thought to herself: She is probably going out with her classmates or a friend.

After all, school just started for a week, so it was normal to ask a few classmates to go out on the weekends. If not, could it be the Tang’s family daughter, who her daughter got along quite well recently?

Knowing that her mother had probably ‘misunderstood’, Su Rui laughed to herself and did not explain.

“Red Maple Forest.”

“Then tonight, you…” Liu Yue frowned. She wanted to remind Su Rui that she had to attend the banquet in the evening.

She then heard Su Rui say, “As for the Chen’s family banquet, I still remembered.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be back by 3 pm.” Su Rui assured her mother.

“Alright then, I will wait for you at home.” Liu Yue estimated the time and nodded.

She felt that it would be good if her daughter could go out to enjoy herself. She would be worried if she stayed at home to review her lessons like she had done two months before school had started.

“Then make sure to be aware of your surroundings, okay?”

“Yes, thank you, mother, for your concern.” Su Rui said as she nodded properly towards her mother.

After saying that and being glared at by Liu Yue, Su Rui headed towards the kitchen. And asked the kitchen auntie to prepare two servings of breakfast for her. She also prepared another simple finger food that can be eaten on the way.

After that, she went upstairs again and started to doll herself up.

She had chosen the outfit yesterday, so only make-up was left.

For the last three years, Su Rui bid farewell to make-up as she laid in the hospital bed every day.

However, fortunately, Su Rui’s knowledge of make-up was quite good as she learnt from the young and ‘old’ ladies^[1] when she was working in the company for a year.

As for which type of make-up.

Of course, it would be the scheming ‘no make-up look’.

While others say such comments like ‘you look stunning without makeup.” and ‘I love you even if you don’t put on make-up every day.” Su Rui didn’t believe in them.

Therefore, knowing that her face without make-up is pretty good-looking, Su Rui decided to put on a delicate ‘no make-up’ look, and then go out to see Gu Yu Cheng.

As she dolled herself up and repeatedly looked at the mirror to make sure that her eyelashes were okay, the mascara wasn’t clumping, her eyebrows were symmetrical, there was no eyeshadow fallout, and the colour of her red lipstick was alright. Su Rui satisfactorily looked away.

Noting that it was nearly time, she sent a WeChat message to Gu Yu Cheng.

[Su Xiao Rui]: I‘m ready. Call me or message me when you have arrived.

[Gu Yu Cheng]: I’m here.

Su Rui:!

So early? When did this guy reach?

After looking at the time to confirm that it was only 8.45 am and that she wasn’t late, Su Rui replied to Gu Yu Cheng. She carried her bag, the breakfast prepared by the kitchen staff and rushed out of the door.

When she was near Gu Yu Cheng’s car, Su Rui quickened her pace from trotting to running.

When Gu Yu Cheng noticed that Su Rui had come out, he stepped out of his car.

Looking at the girl who was walking towards him, Gu Yu Cheng stared blankly, and there was a flash of amazement in his eyes.

“Pass it to me.” When Gu Yu Cheng noticed that Su Rui was carrying something, he was prepared to reach for it.

“Puh” Hearing this, Su Rui chuckled, looked at him and said, “This is meant to be for you.”

”?” Gu Yu Cheng raised his eyebrows.

” This is today’s breakfast which I have told you previously on WeChat.”

Because of their ‘tight schedule and numerous tasks’ today, breakfast can only be eaten on the way.

Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes slightly gleamed and unconsciously curved into a smile.

“Alright”

As he said, Gu Yu Cheng took the bag from Su Rui’s hands.

You shouldn’t have so much expectation on this. It’s merely the fixed breakfast menu of the Su family on weekends…

Looking at the bright light in Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes, Su Rui murmured in her heart.

But, Su Rui suddenly thought of an idea.

If there were such a chance in the future, it would be good if she can personally prepare breakfast for him.

Thinking about it, Su Rui’s eyes were also filled with contentment.

“Gu Yu Cheng.”

“Hm?”

“Do you like to drink sweet soup and whatnot?” In the car, Su Rui turned towards Gu Yu Cheng and enquired.

During the last time they had dinner together, Su Rui noticed that Gu Yu Cheng didn’t seem to dislike sweet food.

“Are we having sweet soup for today’s breakfast?” Gu Yu Cheng asked.

“No,” After a pause, Su Rui smiled and continued, “But it should be that, the next time.”

She should be able to learn Mother Su’s signature sweet soup soon.

“Yes.” Gu Yu Cheng nodded, the corner of his lips quirked subconsciously because of “the next time” that Su Rui has mentioned.

……

On the other side, in the Su house.

Father Su wasn’t so happy as he stood on the second floor and drank his morning tea.

“Time to eat breakfast. I have shouted for so long, why haven’t you come down?” Mother Su came up when she noticed that Father Su hadn’t gone down.

Looking at Su Hong Yuan’s furrowed brow, Liu Yue asked sceptically. “What’s the matter with you?”

“Has our daughter left the house?” Su Hong Yuan looked back and asked.

“Yes, she has just left. She got up early in the morning.” Liu Yue said and muttered, “I don’t know if she went out with her classmates or the girl from the Tang family, they are going to Red Maple Forest.”

None of them! It’s neither a classmate nor Miss Tang.

Father Su responded in his heart.

Father Su’s brows drew together, looked at Liu Yue, couldn’t control himself and asked, “Is our daughter still in contact with Gu Yu Cheng?”

“Gu Yu Cheng?” Hearing what Su Hong Yuan has said, Liu Yue was stunned and surprised.

“No, they haven’t contacted each other since the last time she came back. Also, according to what you said, I have already explained clearly to Yu Jing.” Regarding this point, Liu Yue was very sure.

“That’s strange…” Su Hong Yuan mumbled doubtingly.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Su Hong Yuan said in a deep voice. After deliberating about it, he didn’t voice out his doubts to his wife on what he had just seen now, but he was contemplating about it in his heart.

Just now…The car parked not far from their house should be from the Gu family?

He shouldn’t have seen it wrongly.

However, Su Hong Yuan felt it was odd.

That car was there since about 7 am.

And waited for an hour?

The author has something to say:

Let me explain:

1.The original female lead of this novel isn’t the male lead’s white moonlight[2]. It would be explained in the later chapters.

2.The ‘Chapter 80’ mentioned in the summary refers to the ‘Chapter 80’ in the original novel, and it isn’t Chapter 80 of this novel.

^[1] 老姑娘[lǎo gū niáng]- The literal translation means old lady. However, it usually refers to woman who isn’t married when they are middle aged or a spinster.

[2] 白月光(bái yuè guāng) – refers to a person who is remembered in one’s heart, that one has always loved, but can’t touch. It usually refers to the intention of the sweetheart and the first love that one would never forgets.
