Chapter 345: Gu Yan’s Lucky Day

Morning.

Gu Yan arrived in front of his wife’s bedroom door.

He was full of smiles and anticipation because yesterday, his wife Su Yun’er unusually asked him if he wanted to go shopping together to pick out a birthday gift for grandma.

Such a delightful surprise, he naturally agreed immediately.

However, she promised they would leave early this morning.

But his wife hadn’t come out of her room yet, and it was getting late.

“Overslept?”

With this thought, Gu Yan finally couldn’t resist knocking on the door to inquire.

“Yun’er, are you ready?”

“……”

No answer, just a faint “thump” from inside the room.

“…?”

That sound… sounded like…a body hitting a wooden cabinet?

“Could it be that Yun’er overslept and was startled by my voice, hurriedly got up, and accidentally bumped into the bedside cabinet…”

“Sure enough,” as Gu Yan suspected, his wife’s pained voice soon followed, “Ah~”

Imagining his clumsy and endearing wife holding her leg in pain, Gu Yan worriedly asked, “Yun’er, are you okay?”

This time, he finally got a response.

“It’s fine~ I’m…getting ready…almost done…uh-huh~ okay, just wait… in the living room…ah~”

“But I just heard—”

“No buts, go quickly~”

“…Okay, fine, I’ll wait in the living room!”

His wife was so strong-willed; she wouldn’t want to waste time because of a little bump. If he kept asking, she might get angry.

So, Gu Yan helplessly returned to the living room and waited, bored.

After more than twenty minutes.

Su Yun’er finally emerged from the room.

Her face was flushed from a “recent nap,” and her eyes still carried a watery glimmer.

“Yun’er!”

Gu Yan immediately stood up.

My wife is so beautiful!

Though her expression was very cold, it still made Gu Yan’s heart race.

Unfortunately, Su Yun’er didn’t even glance at him. She walked straight to the kitchen, fetched breakfast, and returned to her room to eat.

“……”

Is this morning grumpiness?

Gu Yan sighed and puzzled:

Is Yun’er very hungry? She took more breakfast than even I, a grown man, would eat!

Of course, no matter how puzzled, “emotionally intelligent” Gu Yan wouldn’t ask his wife why she was eating so much.

Half an hour later.

Su Yun’er came out again.

Looking at the empty dishes, breakfast had been completely eaten.

Moreover, Gu Yan could still smell her perfume—

“Yun’er usually doesn’t use much perfume; if she does, it’s a small amount… but now, she sprayed a lot… the scent is much stronger… could it be…”

“For me?!”

The more he thought about it, the more probable it seemed.

“Definitely! Because we’re going out together later!”

Thinking this made Gu Yan overjoyed!

However, seeing Gu Yan suddenly break into a radiant smile, Su Yun’er felt bewildered.

Not that she cared to know the reason.

After tidying up, she said,

“Let’s go and pick out the birthday gift for grandma!”

She sneaked a glance towards her room, then walked to the door.

Already envisioning which elementary school their future kids would attend, Gu Yan quickly followed.

***

According to the preferences of Old Lady Su.

The two arrived at a commercial street nearby that specialized in jade, antiques, and gold accessories.

Su Yun’er began advising him.

“Antiques are expensive and prone to counterfeits.”

“So, Gu Yan, just buy some gold jewelry or jade bracelets.”

From previous experience, gold jewelry and jade bracelets are considered average gifts. Although a bit gaudy, they wouldn’t seem stingy.

Given Gu Yan’s status in the Su family, this was just right to give.

“This time, all you need to do is ‘not asking for merit, just to make no mistakes,’ understand?”

Gu Yan instantly replied, “Got it!”

Of course, that was just lip service; after all, he had already prepared his gift.

Today’s outing was just to accompany his wife.

Following behind his beautiful wife, feeling the envious glances of passersby, Gu Yan felt utterly satisfied.

“Yun’er seems very concerned about me today…could it be today is my lucky day?”

But as he was about to walk up to his wife.

His phone suddenly rang—

“Hello?”

The voice on the other end of the line said, “Mr. Gu, it’s me, He Mingcheng!”

“Boss He? What’s up?”

“Mr. Gu, it’s like this: I’ve prepared everything you asked for. Should I send someone to deliver it to your home?”

“No need!”

Gu Yan hurriedly refused.

If Boss He sent someone, wouldn’t that reveal their relationship!

“Just keep it there; I’ll come to pick it up!”

“Uh, I understand… I’ll leave it at our shop, then. The address is Fuguijie…”

Gu Yan interrupted instinctively, “…Fuguijie?”

Isn’t that here?!

“Yes, Mr. Gu, is there a problem?”

“No, Boss He, give me the address; I’ll pick it up now!”

Gu Yan felt it was quite fortuitous.

He was certainly going to buy a gift today with his wife.

He was worried that at the birthday banquet, the gift he gave might not match today’s purchase, making Yun’er suspicious.

But now, with Boss He nearby, he could find an excuse and claim that he bought the gift himself!

Looking at his wife’s back, Gu Yan thought of a plan to temporarily leave—

“Ow!”

Gu Yan suddenly clutched his stomach and grunted.

Sure enough, Su Yun’er turned around at the sound.

“What’s wrong?”

“Yun’er, my stomach suddenly feels uncomfortable; I might have caught a chill last night…”

“……”

Su Yun’er furrowed her brows, finally resigned, and said,

“I see, I’ll go look around on my own then!”

“Alright, I’ll be back soon!”

Having his plan work smoothly, Gu Yan quickly dashed off to find He Mingcheng.

However, unbeknownst to him.

Watching him leave with her smile, his wife, Su Yun’er, also smiled.

Then she picked up her phone.

“Bad boy!”

She playfully pouted at the message on her screen.

“Suddenly making me play this kind of game!”
