Chapter 23: What was so great about getting married?(3)

“It’s me, I wanted to ask you what time you will be home tonight.”

Su Qiuzi said.

After saying this, someone on the other side of the phone called out to President He, then He Yu blocked the phone’s earpiece. Not long after, his voice came again.

“I’ll be back very late tonight. You can sleep first.”

Before making a call to He Yu, Su Qiuzi was worried about disturbing him. Hearing his answer, Su Qiuzi responded quickly, and then He Yu was called away and hung up.

He Yu was really busy. In the first half of this year, their company had won a project tender in Jing City. The original cross-river bridge in Jing City had been tinkered with in recent years, and there were a lot of problems. The government was ready to build a new one.

This project was awarded to EV Architect and the firm had been busy for half a year, and it was already a crucial time for the final submission of the paper draft, and the firm had been working overtime to revise it.

It was the middle of the night again and He Yu was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office. On the road outside the window, far from the bustle of the off-duty period, several cars whizzed by, like a stream of comets in the Milky Way.

Outside the office, the colleague who received the call from the project leader of Jing City announced the results of the draft paper that had been submitted.

Kane knocked on the door and entered. He Yu turned around, Kane looked at his boss, smiled and said, “Passed.”

Hearing the boiling sound of cheering outside the office, He Yu’s eyes were raised again, slightly curved the corner of his lips.

EV Architect was a very young team and the atmosphere within the firm was always very cordial. After Kane informed He Yu of the news, several designers from the office came in and pulled He Yu out of the door. He Yu had never been a shy person and let them drag him out with a smile on his face.

As soon as he left the office, a hat was put on his head. Before He Yu could react, Kane clapped and the whole office shouted in unison.

“Happy birthday, President He!”

After the shouting, someone opened champagne and threw out a small bouquet of flowers, and He Yu was instantly wrapped up in the lively crowd.

The party lasted about an hour. At eleven o’clock in the evening, He Yu was driven back to Dongfeng Mansion by his driver. By this time, Su Qiuzi had fallen asleep, he opened the door and entered the house. Everything was very quiet.

During the celebration, He drank some wine and now his mouth was slightly dry. He turned on a row of small lights and walked into the kitchen.

Before designing the decoration of this house, He Yu had a lot of thoughts about the kitchen. When he was studying in the United States, he didn’t like to eat out. He was not satisfied with food made by the maid assigned to him, so he developed the habit of cooking his own meals.

Initially he thought that after returning to his home country, despite his busy work, he would occasionally cook a meal or two. But, to his surprise, Grandpa was sick and the He Group’s work was pressed on his shoulders ahead of time. He simply didn’t have any spare time to cook.

He didn’t have time to do it, and Su Qiuzi didn’t know how to cook either, so the kitchen was cleared out as if it were merely the decor of a house.

He Yu walked to the refrigerator and opened the door to get some cold water. There was not much in the refrigerator, so he spotted the square box placed inside at a glance. He Yu’s lips twitched slightly, and he opened the box to look at it.

It was a birthday cake.

The moment he saw the cake, He Yu recalled the phone call that Su Qiuzi had made to him tonight. The two were already married, each being independent, and their lives didn’t intersect much. She would rarely call him or ask when he would be back.

This morning, He Yu received a call from her mother and sister and greeted his birthday. At noon, Grandpa asked his servant to deliver lunch. In the evening, the colleagues celebrated with him. But he came home late and forgot about his wife.

Slamming the refrigerator door shut, he got up and went to the bedroom.

The bedside lamp was turned on in the bedroom. Under the faint light, the woman lay covered with a quilt. Her figure was delicate and it seemed to be covered with a warm screen. She had fallen asleep with her long hair spread out on her side, her eyelashes long and curled, casting a dark shadow under her eyelids.

He Yu walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.

As soon as he sat down, Su Qiuzi seemed to have sensed somebody coming. Her brow furrowed slightly and she half opened her eyes, her sight blurred.

“You’re back.” Su Qiuzi’s body didn’t move, she hadn’t completely awoken.

Looking at her sleepy face, He Yu smiled and replied, “Yeah.”

“Hmm.” She opened her eyes completely and asked He Yu, “What time is it?”

Lifting his wrist and looking at the time, He Yu replied: “11:50.”

She was relieved to hear his words and muttered, “It’s not too late.” Saying that, she pulled out a small item from under her pillow and placed it in his hand.

“Happy birthday.”

It was a little rabbit, made of ceramic art Q version. It had a round body with two ears hanging behind. The rabbit was not big, just enough to be put on his palm.

He Yu’s eyes were soft and he glanced at Su Qiuzi and asked, “Why is it a rabbit?”

Su Qiuzi already handed over the gift, so sleepiness struck again. She sobered up a bit but did not come to her senses, she nuzzled into the pillow and said a single sentence.

“I’m a rabbit.”

When she finished, she fell asleep, and before she did, a low chuckle reached her ear.
