Manager thought, even if she isnāt Mrs. Gu now, she will eventually become another Mrs. Gu, right? Sheās destined to leave the Gu Familyās doors, isnāt she?
Coming and going sheās still Mrs. Gu, or at the very least, a Miss Shang. Being able to mingle easily among the Gu brothers, she must have her own abilities. That thigh is definitely one to hold on to!
Manager was too passionate, making Eleven feel a little uncomfortable with the situation.
"Manager, donāt pull... Alright, alright, Iāll go with you, can I walk by myself?"
"Yes, of course."
Eleven was half-forcedly taken to the VIP room, where she was personally served by Manager Peng.
"Miss Shang," seeing that she didnāt like the formal address, Manager switched, "this is our soon-to-be-released new phone, a special commemorative edition, only a pair, and we saved them for you."
"A pair means... thereās only?"
"Yes! Only this pair, black and white. You can..."
"Great! Iāll take them!"
...
Back in the car, Eleven handed the black phone to Gu Liancheng, "Husband, you should change to a new phone too! Manager Peng said this is a commemorative edition, thereās only such a pair, ab~solutely no one will have the same phone as us!"
"Okay."
He didnāt say anything and took the phone.
What phone he used wasnāt important to him, as long as she was happy, even if it meant using a childish coupleās phone, he would do it.
Eleven was turning on the phone and said, "I didnāt change the number; Iāve just switched back to the original."
"Got it."
Eleven turned her head and looked at him, "Manager Peng didnāt let me pay... said it was a gift. Is that alright? Can I accept it?"
He patted her head indulgently, "Itās fine, donāt worry."
"Lucky through misfortune, eh, to get a new phone," Eleven looked extremely happy as she was opening the gift, "wonāt you change?"
"Youāve already gifted the CEO a coupleās phone, didnāt you?" Su Qing said, "The CEO then replaced his old phone with that one for personal use. It hasnāt been that long, and youāre gifting him another one. Are you trying to collect seven for summoning the dragon?"
"Oh... right, yours is still brand new; it wouldnāt be good to just switch it out."
Seeing that Eleven reached out to take the new coupleās phone, Gu Liancheng grabbed it fiercely, "What are you thinking? Who else could I give a coupleās phone to but me?"
His eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous signal.
"Iāll keep it, and Iāll get a new SIM card for it. This phone will only store your number and contact only you."
Eleven just went along with him; she found his caring so cute and giggled, "Whatever you want, rich and willful!"
...
Gu Liancheng had things he needed to do, even if he really wanted to drown in tenderness, his rationality wouldnāt allow it.
Without power, where would he get the capital to protect his beauty?
The script where the beauty doesnāt want power only exists in fairy tales. Only by securing power can one have both worlds.
Thatās the lesson of reality.
As much as he hated to be apart from Eleven, he could only ask Su Qing to take her home.
"Donāt go even if the crew calls you, rest at home for a few days, be obedient. If you canāt handle it, donāt answer it, leave it to me."
"Got it, my lord Husband! I am 23, not 13, definitely not 3, okay? You sound just like youāre instructing a child."
"I wish you were three; youād be even easier to coax. Alright, off I go. Call me if you miss me, anytime."
"As you command! Goodbye my lord Husband, work hard and make money, I love you!"
"I love you too," after finishing, he instructed Su Qing, "inform me when youāre safely there."
