65: I'm waiting for you

Learning that her mother could be discharged in two days and remembering that the new home was still missing many things, Gu Qingcheng felt both joyful and a bit flustered.

After leaving the Hospital, she tugged on Chen Li's arm: "Hubby, the house is still missing a lot of things. Accompany me to the supermarket, okay?"

Since she had already decided that Chen Li was her only reliance and place of belonging in this life, Gu Qingcheng gradually let go of her initial restraint in front of him.

Looking at the girl acting coquettishly before him, how could Chen Li have the heart to refuse?

In the vast supermarket, Chen Li was pushing a shopping cart, following closely behind Gu Qingcheng as he watched her seriously compare every product.

She was like a happy little wife, carefully selecting various items her mother would need after being discharged, from toiletries to a four-piece bedding set, considering everything exceptionally thoroughly.

"Hubby, what do you think of the pattern on this pillowcase?" She picked up a plain-colored pillowcase.

"Is it a bit too plain?" Chen Li leaned in to take a look.

"Then how about this one?"

"This one looks good."

The two of them shuttled between the shelves, stopping from time to time to discuss.

Gu Qingcheng occasionally playfully picked up a pair of sunglasses and put them on Chen Li's face, or plopped a sun hat onto his head.

Amidst the laughter and playfulness, Gu Qingcheng held Chen Li's arm tightly and leaned her head on his shoulder.

At this moment, she felt like the happiest person in the world; even if this relationship couldn't see the light of day, she was perfectly willing.

When the shopping was over, bags and packages of goods filled the trunk and back seat.

Back at the new house, the two of them made several trips back and forth before moving everything inside.

Gu Qingcheng meticulously organized every item, sorting food and daily necessities into their respective categories.

When she opened the refrigerator and saw the ingredients packed tightly inside, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

This was the first time in her life she had a refrigerator full of food, and it was also the first time she truly felt that she finally had a proper home.

Chen Li was so tired he collapsed onto the sofa, watching Gu Qingcheng still enthusiastically organizing the remaining items.

She carefully put every item in its place, and only after the last bag was emptied did she let out a long sigh of relief and sit gently beside Chen Li.

"I'm exhausted."

Gu Qingcheng raised her hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, her cheeks flushed with a healthy glow from the busy work.

Chen Li gazed at her fair neck, where the sweat glistened under the light, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but bob.

Gu Qingcheng noticed his burning gaze, and her already flushed cheeks became even more bashful.

Sweat and a blush intertwined on her face, sketching a moving picture.

Unable to restrain his feelings, Chen Li gently cupped her face and kissed her tenderly.

With the experience from last time, Gu Qingcheng responded to his kiss more naturally this time, gradually becoming intoxicated by this intimacy.

Feeling Chen Li's hand starting to wander, she hurriedly held him down, her voice carrying a light pant: "Hu... Hubby, I... I'll go take a shower first..."

Just then, Chen Li's phone rang. Seeing it was a call from Tang Yifeng, he figured there must be something important and had no choice but to answer.

Gu Qingcheng flusteredly tidied her messy clothes, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Her inner garments had long since been undone by Chen Li, and at this moment, they seemed particularly disobedient as they slipped down to her waist.

She refastened them with a red face, every subtle movement revealing the lingering throbbing.

"Hello?"

"President Chen, there are several urgent decisions at the company that need your signature for confirmation."

Chen Li glanced at the flush-faced Gu Qingcheng in his arms and hesitated slightly: "Does it have to be handled today?"

"Yes, we can only move forward with the subsequent work after the signatures are done."

"Alright, I'll head over now."

"We'll be waiting for you at the company."

Hanging up the phone, Chen Li looked at Gu Qingcheng apologetically: "There's some urgent business at the company, I have to go there."

"Ah... Okay..." Gu Qingcheng couldn't hide her disappointment; she had finally managed to prepare herself mentally.

Chen Li pulled her into his arms, planted a kiss on her forehead, and said with a mischievous smile: "Be good, I'll be back later. Get all washed up and wait for me..."

"Mhm... I'll wait for you." Gu Qingcheng nodded obediently with a red face... When Chen Li arrived at the company, Tang Yifeng and Tang You were already waiting at the entrance.

"President Chen, you've arrived."

"Uncle Tang, please don't be so polite. I'm a junior, just call me Xiao Li, and don't use formal addresses with me anymore."

"Rules must still be followed in the company,"

Tang Yifeng insisted, "You can call me whatever you like in private."

"The reason I asked you here is that there are several important documents that need signatures to be executed."

"No problem."

"Let's not all just stand here, let's go to the conference room to talk." Tang You chimed in at the right time.

Only then did Chen Li notice that Tang You's image today was like a different person compared to usual.

The casual attire from the Campus days was gone, replaced by a well-tailored dark gray professional suit.

She wore a pair of exquisite black-framed glasses, and her long hair was tied back in a neat bun, making her whole person exude the unique capable temperament of a career woman.

This outfit made her look both professional and feminine, possessing a distinct charm.

After following them into the conference room, an assistant soon brought over a stack of documents.

Tang You sat down beside Chen Li and carefully explained the contents of each document to him.

It turned out the company had decided to appoint Tang You as the Marketing Department Manager, fully responsible for the brand promotion of 'Fu Bao Ling'.

She had already made preliminary contact with several highly influential top influencers, including Li Jianqi, Hei Bin, and others, and had drafted a detailed cooperation plan.

The documents detailed specific terms such as product price discounts and cooperation models.

Chen Li quickly scanned through it and found that the proposal was quite professional and highly feasible.

"Tang You, did you complete all of these independently?"

"Yes,"

Tang You nodded with a smile, "I've been self-studying marketing for the past two years. What do you think of this plan?"

"It's very good."

Chen Li said appreciatively, "Although I don't know much about the specific operations, the positioning of 'National Brand' and 'Conscience of Domestic Goods' is very precise.

Coupled with the solid quality of our products, we will definitely be able to open up the market."

Afterward, Chen Li listened to reports from other senior executives, especially the latest financial situation... Two hours later, the meeting came to an end.

Tang Yifeng and the other executives left first to handle official business, while Tang You accompanied Chen Li to the Office specially prepared for him.

Although Chen Li wouldn't usually come to the company for a desk job, all the necessary equipment was provided.

"Chen Li, really want to thank you."

"If it weren't for your investment, the company might have been unable to hold on long ago. In that case, we would have truly had no face to meet Grandpa and the others."

"Don't say that."

Chen Li waved his hand, "This is also a good investment opportunity for me, so we're considered mutually beneficial."

"That may be so, but when everyone else had lost confidence in us, you chose to trust. This investment means a lot to us."

Chen Li didn't continue the topic, instead looking around the spacious Office.

The minimalist decoration style suited his taste, but he felt it was a bit wasteful since he really wouldn't come often.

After finishing the tour, Chen Li turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, Tang You was right behind him. As he turned, the two of them bumped squarely into each other's arms...
