Su City International.
Su Qianmo, who was reviewing the documents, suddenly felt a wave of discomfort for some unknown reason.
It was as if... as if a lush green lawn was about to sprout from her head.
She frowned, closed the file, and massaged the bridge of her nose.
Then she picked up her phone, and as soon as she glanced at the screen, her pupils trembled.
On the phone screen, Gu Chenan was princess-carrying Hoshino Kannon, who was smiling radiantly as if basking in the affection of thousands.
Su Qianmo's beautiful eyes quivered, and she gasped sharply.
It was her!
She had found the woman's voice that came through when she was on the phone with Gu Chenan to be vaguely familiar.
As soon as she saw this photo, she immediately realized.
Wasn't this her personal bodyguard, Hoshino Kannon?
No wonder Hoshino Kannon had suddenly requested a few days off, it turned out she went to see Chenan!
Thinking about this, Su Qianmo couldn't help but feel puzzled.
When exactly did Hoshino Kannon and Gu Chenan become involved?
How did she not notice anything?
Moreover...
That was a princess carry, a treatment she had never experienced, yet Hoshino Kannon got to enjoy it?
Most importantly, Gu Chenan had returned to Donghai without even telling her.
Could she tolerate this?
Su Qianmo pursed her lips, stepped her delicate jade feet into a pair of black high heels, stood up and walked into the dressing room to change into a blue bodycon dress.
At the same time, she took out her phone and said, "Hello, Young Master Gu has returned to Donghai, find out where he is now."
...
At the same time, at the Liu residence.
Makeup-free Liu Mingrui, wearing a white tight short-sleeved top and a light blue pair of tight jeans, was donning an apron in the kitchen, cooking up a storm.
Before long, she proudly presented a plate of delicacies that were visually appealing and smelled delicious.
After days and nights of arduous practice, Liu Mingrui's cooking skills had become quite impressive.
Her signature dishes were sautéed beef tendons and sour soup with lamb.
Of course, she had learned all of these dishes from a YouTuber who specialized in teaching how to captivate a man's stomach.
Liu Mingrui hummed as she placed the dishes on the dining table, then scooped herself a bowl of rice and sat down to enjoy her meal.
However, at that moment, she casually glanced at her phone and froze.
Without a doubt, she saw the photo of Gu Chenan princess-carrying Hoshino Kannon.
A hint of melancholy and envy flashed across her beautiful eyes, and her red lips pursed slightly.
"You Gu Chenan, how dare you return to Donghai without telling me!"
"And didn't you accept Su Qianmo's feelings? How are you now involved with her personal bodyguard?"
Upon seeing this, Liu Mingrui immediately took off her apron and strode out of the main hall, addressing the few black-suited bodyguards outside, "Go find out where Young Master Gu is now."
"Yes!" They nodded and spoke into their earpieces as they quickly made their way towards the garage.
At this moment, Liu Mingrui looked down at her attire, hurriedly entered her room, and changed into a black fuzzy short coat and black tight jeans.
...
At Electric City.
Gu Chenan had booked the entire place, so currently inside Electric City, aside from a few service staff, there were only Gu Chenan and Hoshino Kannon.
Gu Chenan was like a henchman, carrying a box of game tokens and following behind Hoshino Kannon's butt.
Hoshino Kannon, on the other hand, walked ahead with a smug expression, reaching her hand back whenever she wanted to play a game to ask for tokens.
"Young Master Gu, let's go play the motorcycle game!"
Hoshino Kannon pointed at the nearby motorcycle video game with anticipation.
Gu Chenan shook his head and scooped up a handful of tokens, putting them in Hoshino Kannon's hand, "You go ahead, I'll get some drinks at the bar."
"Okay, I want an iced cola." Hoshino Kannon skipped over to the motorcycle game.
Gu Chenan shook his head and sighed.
[What the hell is even going on?]
[I'm being completely dominated here.]
[If I don't obey her every whim, she'll just guilt-trip me with the whole injury thing.]
[Ugh, I can't wait for her to recover. Once she's better, I absolutely won't indulge her anymore!]
[Let me tell you, I'm a scumbag, there's no way I'll let you keep dominating me, even if I have a sliver of conscience, it's not an excuse for you to control me!]
As he thought this, Gu Chenan went to the bar and bought two iced colas, then brought one back for Hoshino Kannon.
At this moment, the staff behind the bar were discussing Gu Chenan's behavior.
"Hey, that girl must be Young Master Gu's little mistress, right? Why else would he be so obedient to her?"
"I think so too, tsk~ Isn't Young Master Gu worried about Miss Su finding out?"
"Heh, Miss Su probably already knows, the whole of Donghai is buzzing about it!" Someone said as they took out their phone and showed the photo that was circulating in Donghai.
Upon seeing it, the others gasped.
"Damn, does this mean Young Master Gu isn't going to marry Miss Su anymore?"
"Who knows, but Miss Su will definitely cut ties with Young Master Gu from now on!"
As they discussed, Gu Chenan handed the iced cola to Hoshino Kannon, who was intensely focused on the motorcycle game.
Hoshino Kannon kept her eyes glued to the screen, simply bringing her mouth to the straw and taking a big sip of the cola.
"I gave it to you to hold, not to drink," Gu Chenan frowned.
"I'm busy," Hoshino Kannon replied absently before returning her full attention to the game.
[Dammit!]
Gu Chenan shook his head in exasperation, pulled over a nearby stool, and sat down.
"When are we leaving?" He asked after taking a sip of his cola.
Hoshino Kannon glanced at Gu Chenan and said, "No rush, it's not even dark yet."
Gu Chenan rolled his eyes. "Fine, whatever you say, you're the boss."
At that moment, downstairs at Electric City.
A McLaren and a Paramela arrived from different directions simultaneously.
The cars stopped, and Su Qianmo and Liu Mingrui stepped out of their respective vehicles.
The two women exchanged glances, both slightly surprised.
"Sister Qianmo," Liu Mingrui greeted first with a raised hand.
"Mingrui, you came too?" Su Qianmo asked.
Liu Mingrui nodded, and neither of them mentioned the photo, although they both knew full well why the other was there.
"Let's go, Sister Qianmo," Liu Mingrui suggested.
"Yeah, let's go," Su Qianmo agreed.
The two women walked side by side, entering Electric City.
Currently, the front desk was surrounded by staff members who had nothing to do since Gu Chenan had booked the entire place for themselves. So they had gathered there to criticize Gu Chenan while speculating on how Su Qianmo would deal with him.
However, at that moment, someone noticed the approaching Su Qianmo and Liu Mingrui and immediately hushed the others.
Everyone turned to look, initially startled but quickly put on customer service smiles.
"Miss Su, Miss Liu."
Su Qianmo nodded, "Where is Young Master Gu?"
The staff members exchanged glances. "Young... Young Master Gu is inside."
"Thank you."
With that, Su Qianmo and Liu Mingrui headed further into Electric City.
Watching their slender figures disappear, the staff members all wore expressions of eager anticipation for the show that was about to unfold.
Speak of the devil!
They had just been discussing how Su Qianmo would deal with Gu Chenan, and now Su Qianmo had arrived!
What's more, they would get to witness it firsthand!
They wondered how exactly Su Qianmo would handle Gu Chenan.
Would she berate him before leaving in a huff, or would she break off the engagement on the spot?
The staff perked up their ears, keen to catch any developments from inside.
