Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 136 - Pre-Marital Anxiety

Chapter 136: Chapter 136 Pre-Marital Anxiety

Zhou Yuan hurriedly said, “I know, you’re the big president of the group, with so many people depending on you for their livelihoods. If you’re not busy, then nobody else can eat.”

Gu Cheng nodded, but his hands did not leave the keyboard and mouse.

Zhou Yuan hastily added, “I just came up to see you, I’m not asking for your company. I’ll sit for a while and then go, you quickly get back to your work.”

She was very afraid of disturbing him, also scared that he would find her annoying.

At that moment, Gu Cheng glanced at her.

She immediately felt all her nerves tense up.

...

“I, I’ll leave now.”

Just as she was about to pick up her small bag, Gu Cheng stopped her.

“Why don’t you wait a bit longer, let’s have dinner together after work?”

Indeed, they hadn’t seen each other for more than a week. No phone calls, no messages—it didn’t seem like they were about to get married, and Gu Cheng was aware that he had neglected his little wife.

Zhou Yuan’s mood was instantly healed; she quickly replied, “Sure, sure, you do your work, and I’ll wait for you here.”

Zhou Yuan took out her phone to watch a drama, feeling relieved.

Worried about disturbing his work, she put on headphones.

But she looked up at him from time to time.

He was indeed busy, never leaving his desk, and Assistant Bai delivered a stack of documents, some marked as urgent.

He also made a half-hour phone call, all about work.

Zhou Yuan regretted coming even more.

The wait felt excruciating. He was so busy, while she just watched dramas here, as if they belonged to two different worlds.

Finally, the workday came to an end.

His quitting time was not fixed; he could only leave after finishing his work.

As a result, it was already 9 p.m.

Gu Cheng seemed to remember Zhou Yuan only then.

“Sorry for making you wait so long.”

Zhou Yuan brazenly said, “We’ll be husband and wife soon, why say these polite words?”

Gu Cheng asked, “Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?”

“You decide, I’m okay with anything.”

Half an hour later, they arrived at a rather quiet restaurant.

Gu Cheng must also have been very hungry, he began eating heartily, while Zhou Yuan nibbled her food.

This was only their second time eating together since they had met.

While eating, Gu Cheng asked Zhou Yuan, “You’re graduating this year, right?”

“Yes, but you can get married while still in university,” Zhou Yuan said, worried he would change his mind.

Gu Cheng chuckled, then asked, “What are your plans after graduation?”

This was a serious topic.

If Zhou Yuan said she only wanted to be a good wife and mother, it would seem like she lacked ambition, and she feared Gu Cheng would look down on her.

She replied, “I studied medical equipment, so I might work at my dad’s company, or maybe…”

She was uncertain.

When she had applied for university, she was a girl without her own opinions, with university and major choices filled in by her parents, prioritizing only that she should stay close to home.

But deep down, she wanted to be a singer, the wandering kind, though she was too embarrassed to tell others.

Gu Cheng said, “Family does not lack the work you would do. Do whatever you like after you graduate.”

After speaking, he resumed eating.

Watching him, Zhou Yuan felt a surge of sweetness in her heart.

Lately, she’d been plagued with insecurities, depressed by a word from him, and just as easily excited by another.

“Brother Cheng, do you have any plans after dinner?” Zhou Yuan asked.

“I usually just go home to sleep,” said Gu Cheng.

Zhou Yuan felt disappointed again.

Couldn’t they make an appointment to meet up?

…

When Zhou Yuan got home, her parents were waiting for her in the living room.

The family had a rule that if it was past 9 p.m., she had to be home.

But knowing she was with Gu Cheng, they had stopped enforcing it.

Mr. Zhou, seeing Zhou Yuan looking unhappy, couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter? You don’t seem too happy.”

Zhou Yuan walked over to her father, zoned out for a few seconds, then asked, “Dad, do you think it’s right for me to marry Brother Cheng?”

Mr. Zhou touched Zhou Yuan’s forehead—no fever.

“Why do you ask that? Isn’t marrying Gu Cheng your dream? Now your dream is about to come true.”

Zhou Yuan said, “But I always feel like, Brother Cheng doesn’t really like me. The reason he’s marrying me is because I seduced him that night.”

Mr. Zhou scoffed internally, thinking, you’re just realizing this now?

“What are you thinking now? Having second thoughts?” Mr. Zhou said, “If you want to back out, you still… have time.”

Zhou Yuan immediately asserted, “Of course I won’t back out. If I did, he would become the laughingstock of Feng City. He’s already been let down by a woman once, if it happens again, he’ll have to become a monk for the rest of his life.”

Mr. Zhou scoffed internally again, thinking that if she already had her own answer, anything he said would be pointless.

Mrs. Zhou asked, “What did you do with Gu Cheng this afternoon? Why are you saying all this now?”

Zhou Yuan shared her experience from the afternoon.

Mr. Zhou immediately understood, “Next time, don’t go to his company again. Men are very particular about not mixing business with pleasure. Besides, he really is busy. A young girl like you going there is not appropriate, you can’t help, and you might just distract him.”

Zhou Yuan felt aggrieved, “Okay, I won’t go there anymore.”

But if she didn’t contact him, he wouldn’t reach out to her.

Well, she could only wait until after the wedding. At least after getting married, he would have to come home every day.

…

Su Meixi went shopping today.

The deputy director’s grandson was ready for his full-month celebration, and doctors at or above the associate director level were invited to celebrate.

Locals did not accept cash gifts, so they usually gave presents. Su Meixi did not want to seem stingy, so she went to a jewelry store in the shopping mall to see if there was a suitable longevity lock for the baby.

As she was choosing, two more people walked in.

Su Meixi didn’t look up, but both of the newcomers recognized her at the same time.

“Oh, isn’t this the Second Young Mrs. Gu?”

“Ah Xi?”

They spoke simultaneously, but with entirely different intonations.

Su Meixi turned around, and to her surprise, she saw Leng Yiran and Wan Manyu.

Why were they together?

Leng Yiran’s gaze harbored hostility upon seeing Su Meixi.

But Wan Manyu was composed, pointing to Leng Yiran and said, “She’s my cousin; we came shopping together today.”

So that was it.

Leng Yiran’s tone was sarcastic, “The esteemed Second Young Mrs. Gu needs to shop in this kind of store? Hasn’t the Young Commander given you any jewelry?”

Su Meixi couldn’t be bothered with her and just said, “I’m buying my things, what’s it to you?”

Su Meixi had only used Gu Wei’s credit card once, preferring to use her own for general purchases, spending within her means.

Seeing that Leng Yiran kept glaring unpleasantly at Su Meixi, Wan Manyu asked, “The Second Young Mr. Gu you mentioned, is that the same person you’ve had a crush on since you were young?”

“Yes, I got cut off by someone, didn’t I?” Leng Yiran stared at Su Meixi as if she was an enemy.
