Chapter 1836: Chapter 1836: Rising Star (38)
After Gu Yu’s failed attempt to get a divorce, he spent several consecutive days at the company.
On this day, he had just finished a meeting, and as he came out with his staff, he overheard employees talking.
"Who’s that person downstairs, waiting for almost an hour?"
"Who are you talking about?"
"There’s a girl downstairs, not sure who she’s waiting for. It’s been a while and no one has come down..."
"A girl?"
"Yeah."
Gu Yu heard this vaguely and didn’t take it to heart. But when it was time to get off work, as his car came out of the garage, he saw someone standing at the door, and his expression slightly cracked.
Why is she there!!
The girl was dressed casually, with a hat and a mask on, holding a bouquet of bright roses. Passersby couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at her.
"Stop the car." Gu Yu told the driver to stop.

Gu Yu approached Chuzheng with a stern face: "What are you doing here?"
He initially thought it was mere gossip. It turned out she was waiting for him.
Is she dumb? Couldn’t she call him instead of making a spectacle of herself for the paparazzi to capture!
"Waiting for you."
"Waiting for me for what?"
Chuzheng handed over the flowers she was holding: "To give you flowers."
"???"
Does a grown man need flowers? Do you have some misunderstanding about your role!
Gu Yu’s pupils reflected the bouquet, vibrant and fiery in bloom.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Building a relationship." Isn’t building relationships supposed to start with a date?
Gu Yu’s mouth twitched, and his eyes scanned the surroundings, seeing several people with their phones out: "Get in the car."
Chuzheng gestured for Gu Yu to take the flowers.
"Get in the car first."
Chuzheng stayed still, clearly indicating that if he didn’t take them, she wouldn’t get in the car.
Gu Yu felt this woman was sent to vex him. He crudely took the flowers and pulled her by the wrist to shove her into the car.

#Qin Chuzheng Gives Flowers#
#Did You Get Your Daily Dose of Lovey-Dovey-ness?#
#Qin Chuzheng and Gu Yu#
Even though Chuzheng wore a hat and mask, people still recognized her, and with Gu Yu there, trending was just a matter of minutes.
[Wait, why is Qin Chuzheng giving flowers? Isn’t she female?] Mostly men give flowers. Though it’s not unheard of for women, it’s still rare.
[Hubby looks as handsome as ever today.]
[Hahaha, hubby’s angry face while holding the flowers is so cute.]
[Miss Qin didn’t go acting but went to see her hubby. I want to see too, waaah.]
[If she didn’t go see him, we wouldn’t even have photos to fawn over. Be grateful.]
[That’s not the point. The point is hubby actually accepted them. Being in love makes people complacent.]
[Sincerely envious and jealous!!]
No matter how envious and jealous, all you can do is feel that way.
[Look closely, is that a wedding ring?]
Someone zoomed in on the photo, pointing out their hands, and the rings on Chuzheng and Gu Yu’s fingers were quite clear.
[What?]
[They just went public, how did this escalate to marriage?]
[Maybe they’re just couple rings, don’t overthink it.]
[Couple rings for the ring finger?]
The exaggerated decorative ones are obvious, just for styling needs.
But normal rings? The media will quickly label you married.
[I just logged on to see hubby, didn’t want to hear bad news. Please, pretend not to know.]
[So, hubby is engaged to Qin Chuzheng now?]
[No, I can’t believe it! How long since they announced their relationship, and now they’re getting married!]
The Little Feathers couldn’t handle the bad news, holding their heads and crying.
Meanwhile, the two involved had returned to the villa. Gu Yu stormed in with the bouquet, and the butler nearly mistook it for a knife he was carrying.
"Sir..."
Gu Yu ignored the butler, going upstairs silently.
Chuzheng followed him, and the butler swallowed: "Miss Qin, what’s wrong with the gentleman?"
"I don’t know."
The two went upstairs one after the other, leaving the bewildered butler behind.
Chuzheng knocked on Gu Yu’s door, which was locked. She figured the Good Person Card might need some peace, so she returned to her room.
After browsing the trending topics, Chuzheng climbed over from the balcony next door.
Gu Yu was about to pull the curtains when Chuzheng suddenly jumped over, and they locked eyes, wide-eyed.
A few seconds later, Gu Yu swiftly shut the curtains.
Just as Chuzheng was about to act further, the curtains opened again. Gu Yu pushed aside the glass door, looking at her coldly: "Do you think you have nine lives?"
"...About that many." Why was he asking?
Gu Yu was momentarily speechless: "If I catch you climbing the window again, you’re out of the villa." He turned back into his room, leaving the door open.
Chuzheng followed him in: "What’s so bad about me climbing the window?"
If I can’t use the door or the window, what should I do? Fly?
This world didn’t have such settings either.
"I said no climbing means no climbing." Gu Yu turned his head to glare at her: "Or else, divorce!"
Chuzheng: "..."
You just want an excuse to divorce me!
Best not to argue with the Good Person Card.
Every day, strive to be a good person.
Chuzheng changed the subject, pointing with her finger in the air: "Didn’t you say you have no feelings for me, so why are you wearing the ring?"
Gu Yu looked down, eyes flickering slightly, and put his hand behind him: "Grandma forced me."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Gu Yu said calmly: "Grandma’s getting old. I don’t want to upset her, so don’t overthink it."
Chuzheng looked at him calmly.
Gu Yu felt uncomfortable under her gaze. Just as he was considering speaking to break the awkwardness, Chuzheng’s voice came through.
"But Grandma doesn’t know I gave you the ring."
Gu Yu: "..."
Gu Yu felt the ring on his finger growing hot, the entire finger burning.
With a dark face, Gu Yu booted Chuzheng out of the room.
The door closed with a ’bang’, creating a draft that brushed against Chuzheng’s face, cool and brisk.
"Miss... Miss Qin, are... are you alright?" The butler was holding a tray, seemingly intending to deliver coffee.
But witnessed this scene... like a husband who’ve erred being kicked out by the wife.
Spit, spit, spit, Miss Qin is the girl.
How could he have such thoughts? Absolutely inappropriate!!
Chuzheng calmly brushed her hair: "No worries, don’t give him coffee tonight, switch to milk."
The butler hesitated: "But sir..."
"Listen to me."
The butler: "..."
The butler hesitated but eventually decided to heed Chuzheng, replacing the coffee with milk.
And received only a cold laugh from Gu Yu. Still, Gu Yu wasn’t too reactive, just telling him to get out of the room.
The butler: "..." It’s so hard for me.
-
Chuzheng giving flowers was just the beginning. She completely copied the typical male lead pursuing tactics seen in TV dramas.
Avoiding her acting duties to come and mess with him.
Being attentive?
Not quite. She asked, but his answers hardly mattered. She believed what she wanted to believe!
Except for the gender being wrong, she was truly like a domineering CEO.
