Su Qianmo's confident expression shocked Gu Chenan.
In the novel, Su City International was also a small company that Su Qianmo acquired and grew step by step.
Moreover, in just a few short years, Su City International transformed from an unknown small enterprise into a nationally renowned cosmetics company.
So in this matter, listening to Qianmo would definitely be the right choice.
"Alright, I'll listen to you," Gu Chenan nodded.
"Do you have any local cosmetics companies in mind?" Su Qianmo asked with interest.
"Well... not yet," Gu Chenan shook his head. To be honest, he didn't even know what cosmetics companies existed locally, let alone have one in mind.
"Oh, that's okay," Su Qianmo picked up her phone and said, "I'll search for some after I finish these few chapters."
"Still reading 'Peerless Dragon King'?" Gu Chenan raised an eyebrow.
"Mhm," Su Qianmo nodded. "This novel has a unique feeling, like 'how strange, let me take another look'."
"Don't you feel awkward reading about yourself in the original plot?"
"It is a bit awkward," Su Qianmo said with disdain. "Especially when I see the scenes between Lin Yu and me, I'm getting goosebumps."
"It's fine, just think of it as reading fanfiction about us," Gu Chenan shrugged.
Su Qianmo pursed her lips and lowered her head. "Chen... Chenan, I'm sorry."
"Hm? Why are you apologizing?"
Gu Chenan was taken aback. Su Qianmo's sudden guilty expression and tone left him puzzled.
Su Qianmo looked up and said, "Seeing how I treated you in this novel reminds me of how I was before..."
Before she could finish, Gu Chenan pulled her into his arms. "Don't overthink it. What happened in the past is over. I only know that you're very gentle now."
"Gen... gentle." Su Qianmo's face flushed, somewhat touched by his words.
"Chenan, you... you're very gentle too," she murmured, placing her hands on Gu Chenan's back. "Being with you is really wonderful."
In the sky, a shooting star with a long tail streaked across the horizon, piercing through the night.
Its trailing light was like a bride in a light blue wedding gown, bringing a touch of breathtaking brilliance to the boundless night.
"Look at the sky," Gu Chenan said.
Su Qianmo turned her head, and the shooting star fell.
"It's... it's beautiful," she exclaimed, her pupils dilating.
Gu Chenan leaned close to Su Qianmo, their faces touching as they gazed at the night sky together.
"Not as beautiful as you, not even one ten-thousandth as beautiful."
Su Qianmo smiled sweetly, nestling in Gu Chenan's embrace.
The night breeze blew in through the window, and the chirping of unknown insects resonated through the dark night.
Neither of them spoke, watching the twinkling stars in the sky. At this moment, even the flow of time seemed to slow down.
...
Early the next morning.
Sunlight crept through the window onto the bed, its dappled warmth falling on the couple.
A few sparrows landed outside the window, chirping and hopping about.
Pedestrians hurried along both sides of the street, and the surrounding breakfast stalls were bustling with activity.
A new day had begun. The world, having fallen silent at night, awakened once more in the morning, in an endless cycle.
Gu Chenan was the first to open his eyes. He sat up gently, looking at the still-sleeping Su Qianmo.
Su Qianmo's breathing was steady, her breath soft and gentle. Her long eyelashes and strands of hair turned golden in the morning light, giving her an oil painting-like quality, dazzling and captivating.
Gu Chenan kissed Su Qianmo's forehead, then tiptoed out of bed and carefully tucked her in again.
After getting dressed, he quietly pushed open the door and went downstairs.
The morning breeze brought a slight chill.
Gu Chenan zipped up his jacket and made his way through the crowd to a small stall.
It was a breakfast stall, mainly selling ordinary breakfast items like soy milk, fried dough sticks, and soup dumplings.
But these were also the foods that Gu Chenan had longed for countless times in the novel world.
Of course, he had eaten these simple breakfast foods in the novel world, but the taste here had haunted his dreams.
"You're here? Still one bowl of small wonton and a basket of soup dumplings?"
Gu Chenan came to buy these two items every morning, to the point where the breakfast stall owner remembered his order.
"Two portions," Gu Chenan said.
"Alright, coming right up."
Soon, Gu Chenan was carrying two portions of small wonton and soup dumplings back to the rented apartment.
In the bedroom, Su Qianmo was sleeping soundly, her soft snores like a melodious tune that made one's heart race just by listening.
After placing the two breakfast portions on the coffee table, Gu Chenan came to the bedside and bent down for a deep kiss.
"Mmm—"
He kissed her forcefully, startling Su Qianmo awake. Her first instinct was to push Gu Chenan away.
But when she recognized Gu Chenan's face, her push turned into an embrace, passionately and deeply returning the kiss.
After a long moment, Gu Chenan stood up.
"Get up and have breakfast."
"Mm-hmm."
Su Qianmo nodded, rubbing her eyes like a little cat.
After getting dressed and coming to the coffee table, Su Qianmo's appetite was stimulated by the sight of breakfast.
"Try it quickly, these are the best soup dumplings in all of Shanghai!" Gu Chenan said.
Su Qianmo sat next to Gu Chenan, picked up a soup dumpling, blew on it to cool it down, and took a bite.
Her eyes immediately lit up, sparkling brightly.
"Delicious!"
"I didn't lie to you, did I?" Gu Chenan said proudly.
In that other world, Su Qianmo had of course eaten much better food than this, after all, the Su family's chef was a state banquet chef.
But Su Qianmo's praise for these soup dumplings wasn't just to please Gu Chenan, she really did find them delicious.
"Phew~"
The two finished breakfast with lively conversation. Gu Chenan let out a long sigh and sprawled on the sofa in a relaxed pose.
"Phew~"
Su Qianmo imitated Gu Chenan's pose, also sprawling on the sofa.
Then they looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Both of their faces were radiant with happiness and contentment.
A moment later, Su Qianmo spoke up: "We need to choose a company to acquire today, right?"
Gu Chenan nodded: "But how do we choose? How do we know which one is worth acquiring and which isn't?"
"That's simple," Su Qianmo sat up straighter, crossing her shapely long legs. "We choose the one with the best products. The internal affairs of the company don't matter."
"I see," Gu Chenan nodded. "Then shall we go buy some products from these companies later to try them out?"
"Sure!" Su Qianmo agreed.
