Chapter 8: Confession in Public!

"Isn't that Gu Qingcheng, the famous beautiful and aloof CEO from our city?"

"Is she going to confess to someone?"

"Confess to who? It can't be Young master Su, can it?"

"Hahaha... buddy, that joke of yours isn't funny. Su Yu may come from an impressive background, but he's just a lapdog."

"Use your brain, brother. Miss Gu will never confess to Su Yu."

"So, who managed to win over this beautiful CEO?"

"Definitely not Young master Su."

The crowd of onlookers voiced their opinions, but in the center of the group stood Gu Qingcheng, holding a large bouquet of roses that almost covered her exquisite little face. In her other hand, she held a plastic bag.

At this moment, her face was icy, but she would occasionally turn her head and look around.

When she saw the handsome figure in the crowd, her cold demeanor quickly dissipated, replaced by a face full of admiration and a smile.

She hurriedly walked towards Su Yu, and the crowd dispersed like flowing water.

Everyone wanted to see who Gu Qingcheng would confess her love to, but when she approached Su Yu, everyone was stunned.

Gu Qingcheng handed the large bouquet of roses to Su Yu.

"Brother Yu, I... I like you... here's breakfast that I prepared for you."

"On your first day at work, you must work hard!"

Gu Qingcheng almost gritted her teeth, using all her strength to say these words. Her face had turned extremely red, and her ears were bright red as well.

For a woman who had always been cold and aloof, saying these things in public had already drained all her strength.

The whole scene suddenly became incredibly quiet, with the sound of a pin dropping echoing through the air.

Everyone was shocked to see this. The famous and aloof female CEO from Yuncheng was confessing her love to her lapdog and even giving him breakfast to encourage him? This was like a scene from a fantasy drama!

“What the f*ck? Did he succeed in the end?”

"More than that. Miss Gu is giving flowers and meals in public. She’s now practically a super ‘pleaser’."

"This is obviously pursing her husband."

"Wow, Su Shao (Young Master) really knows how to play the game. He's not a real "lapdog", but was just playing along with his girlfriend."

"Whoa! Your way of thinking is quite unique!"

...

After a brief silence, people started to go crazy discussing what they just heard.

Their gaze towards Su Yu was no longer the same. They used to see him as just a playboy, but now he's willingly being served by a young and beautiful CEO.

The news was just too shocking.

Su Yu was taken aback by what he just witnessed.

He knew the plot was a bit odd, but he never expected it to be this strange.

Did this girl really change so much just because he took her virginity? Was it really the gateway to a woman's soul? Did Gu Qingcheng suddenly develop a new "dog-licking" attributes after last night?

"Don't make such a fuss next time. You can take your flowers back. I'll only accept the breakfast." Su Yu said, smiling as he accepted the meal.

Gu Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat.

Uh-oh.

Did Su Yu want to keep things low-key? After all, he was a former assassin who lived a very low-key life.

Was she

making him unhappy with her behavior?

"Brother Yu, you're not angry, are you?" Gu Qingcheng asked, carefully.

"Hiss..."

Everyone in the surrounding gasped again, with some people even dropping their jaws.

Is she really that humble?

Many people present felt heartbroken seeing this. A gorgeous woman like Gu Qingcheng  is confessing to Su Yu, and yet she's afraid of making him angry?

The way some people looked at Su Yu was filled with anger and dissatisfaction. If it weren't for his background, some of them might even have challenged him to a fight.

After all, this is an urban cool (brainless) novel.

Only the protagonist would have the brain to pick up fight left and right without thinking about the consequences they might face.

"No, I’m not angry. And, thank you for the breakfast. I have to go to work now, so you should go back to work too." Su Yu said, smiling and waving the breakfast in his hand as he headed towards the group building.

"Goodbye, Brother Yu." Gu Qingcheng said loudly, her face flushed with embarrassment, as she ran to her car. She felt very uncomfortable being surrounded by so many people.

"This is so shocking!" someone exclaimed.

"Damn it! I'm so jealous! How can Young master Su make Miss Gu his little girl?" another person said.

"Seriously, this is like feeding a pig with a bunch of vegetables." a third person chimed in.

"Why are you all so jealous? Young master Su is our boss after all!" someone else said.

"That's right, and the Su family is one of the top families in the city. Their strength speaks for itself. It's normal for Miss Gu to promise to be with Young master Su." another person said.

"But, is it really necessary to be in such a humble attitude?" someone else asked.

"Su Yu is so despicable. My goddess... sob... sob..." yet another person cried.

"Alright, enough with the wild guesses. Let's go back to work. Young master Su is the one who pays our salaries." someone said, trying to calm everyone down.

...

The crowd continued to discuss what they had just witnessed, with some feeling angry and others guessing what had happened.

"I was just trying to survive, you know? To survive, I had to lower myself." Gu Qingcheng muttered to herself as she made her way to the headquarters of Qingcheng Group.

On the way there, she tried to convince herself that what she had just done was brave and bold. However, she didn't realize that her attitude towards Su Yu was changing with every step she took.

She parked her car and, in an instant, she regained her usual cold and aloof CEO persona as she walked quickly into the company building.

"Qingcheng, why are you so late?"
