Early the next morning, the sun shone through the thin curtains into the bedroom. Su Yu felt that it was making her eye blind. She rubbed her eyes and suddenly realized that she was curled up in someone’s arms.

She could even hear Gu Chen’s heartbeat and breathing. She could clearly feel the muscles on Gu Chen’s firm arms and chest.

She pushed Gu Chen away and sat up. She scolded him angrily, “I knew you were restless. We didn’t even cover with the same blanket, yet you came to hug me. You Rascal!”

Gu Chen opened his eyes in a daze. He did not seem to have slept well.

He struggled to move his arms and felt sorry for himself. “I don’t know who was it yesterday who kicked her blanket off the bed and came to snatch my blanket. She even wanted to kick me off the bed.”

“You, you’re talking nonsense! I sleep well.”

Su Yu blinked her eyes innocently. She had never slept on the same bed like anyone else, so she did not know how she slept.

However, the blanket on the ground was the new blanket that Gu Chen had given her yesterday. The bedsheets were messy on her side, which seemed to support Gu Chen’s claim.

Gu Chen stood up and walked around her to get off the bed. “I’ve never seen someone who sleeps so poorly. If I hadn’t trapped you in my arms yesterday, I wouldn’t have been able to sleep.”

Gu Chen said as he stretched his body. The bones in his body made sounds from time to time, and his expression did not seem to be that happy.

A trace of guilt flashed across Su Yu’s heart, but it only lasted for a moment before dissipating.

She got out of bed, picked up the blanket and put it back on the bed. She started to change the topic. “I’m a little hungry. It’s time for breakfast.”

Gu Chen’s lips curled up. He had seen through Su Yu’s little trick, but he did not expose her. “I’ll turn around. You change your clothes. Let’s go down and have breakfast together.”

“Okay.”

Su Yu opened her suitcase and rummaged through her clothes.

When the two of them were done changing, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Su Yu quickly tidied up the bed and opened the door.

Qi Hong, who was standing outside the door, had an unpleasant expression on her face. She looked at Gu Chen, who was wearing a tie and said unhappily, “The people from the Su family are here. They don’t look happy. You can handle it yourself .”

When Qi Hong mentioned the Su family, she did not notice that Su Yu’s eyes lit up.

Su Yu knew that she would meet them one day, but she did not expect that day to come so soon.

Master Gu’s name was really well-known. Yesterday, he only appear a short while at the banquet, but today, the news of Master Gu’s wedding had spread to the entire Imperial Capital.

Gu Chen put on his clothes and walked out of his room. He did not panic at all and replied, “Got it.”

The group of people walked to the living room unhurriedly. The leader of the Su family, Su Wen, his second wife, Fang Yan, and their daughter, Su Zhen, were sitting on the sofa with unpleasant expressions, waiting for their arrival.

Seeing the group of people approaching, they quickly stood up.

Fang Yan protected the aggrieved Su Zhen behind her and said to Qi Hong, “Gu Chen, we heard some rumours, so we came here to ask Mrs Gu for confirmation.”

Qi Hong let out a long sigh and walked over to hold Fang Yan’s hand, saying, “I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. I didn’t know anything before this.”

Qi Hong deliberately left herself out so that Gu Chen and Su Yu would suffer. It would be best if she could force them into a divorce.

Although Fang Yan didn’t believe Qi Hong that she didn’t know anything, she still pointed the blame at Gu Chen, “Gu Chen, shouldn’t you give us an explanation? How did our Su Zhen let you down? Why did you do such a thing to hurt her?”

Fang Yan did not dare to say anything too harsh. After all, the Gu family was not a family that they could afford to offend.

“Auntie, my engagement with your daughter is just a joke from the older generation. Uncle and Auntie are rational people. I believe that you won’t take the joke seriously, right?”

Gu Chen kicked the ball back politely. He seemed to be implying that the Su family wouldn’t blame the Gu family for taking the marriage seriously.

Su Yu stood behind Gu Chen and admired Gu Chen’s shamelessness.
