Chapter 265: Chapter 265: I Can’t Live Without Mrs. Zhong More Than You Can
Chu Lin helplessly smiled.
The doorbell rang, and Gu Hanchen raised an eyebrow towards Chu Lin, “Did you invite soone else over?”
Chu Lin said, “I only invited you two. I don’t really want others to know about this place, there are no servants, everything is automated.”
Chu Lin directly said, “Open the door surveillance.”
A chanized female voice inside the house said: The door surveillance is now open.
The TV screen in front of them showed the view of the manor’s entrance.
Gu Hanchen chuckled lightly, “Huh, does your wife need to ring the doorbell to enter her own house?”
Chu Lin frowned as he looked at the surveillance on the TV and said, “Open the main gate.”
“Are you sure you want to open the main gate?”
“Confird.”
“The main gate has been opened.”
Gu Hanchen glanced at Chu Lin and said, “You’re quite bold to use all this AI at ho, aren’t you afraid of hackers breaking into the system and stealing sothing?”
Chu Lin replied, “If a hacker was that skilled, why would they risk robbing places?”
Gu Hanchen thought for a mont and then said to Zhong Xiaoyi, “Our bridal house should be set up like this too, so we won’t need a bunch of nannies and strangers living at ho. It’ll be peaceful.”
Zhong Xiaoyi pursed her lips, “The bridal house is a long way off, and I might not be able to be away from my mom.”
Gu Hanchen embraced Zhong Xiaoyi and whispered in her ear, “Our mom is not an outsider. I can’t be away from Mrs. Zhong more than you.”
Chu Lin looked at Gu Hanchen, “Gu Hanchen, you aren’t just dependent on Mrs. Zhong and afraid she might retire with age, and dating Zhong Xiaoyi just to keep Mrs. Zhong around, and to save a hefty salary, are you?”
Gu Hanchen retorted, “Hah, clearly it’s Xiao Yi who has been secretly in love with for seven years!”
Gu Hanchen gestured a seven with his hand, his face full of pride.
Zhong Xiaoyi whispered, “Brother Hanchen, can you stop talking about this matter?”
Gu Hanchen: “I’m going to have ‘Zhong Xiaoyi secretly loved for seven years!’ written on my tombstone!”
Chu Lin let out a snort, “Why don’t you say that when you record your achievents in your family genealogy aside from Mi Chen, you also add the fact that Zhong Xiaoyi secretly loved you for seven years?”
Gu Hanchen: “You gave a good idea, but my family doesn’t have a genealogy anymore.”
Gu Hanchen seeing a figure from outside, quietly said to Chu Lin, “The complaint expert is here.”
Chu Lin frowned and said, “Don’t ntion the term ‘complaint expert’ again.”
Gu Hanchen said, “Wasn’t it you who nicknad her that?”
As Cheng Yue entered, Gu Hanchen greeted, “Hello, Secretary Cheng.”
Zhong Xiaoyi quietly reminded Gu Hanchen, “Brother Hanchen, Secretary Cheng has been promoted. She’s now the Director of the General Administration Departnt at Chu Neng Headquarters, you should address her as Mr. Cheng.”
Gu Hanchen said, “My apologies, Mr. Cheng.”
Cheng Yue pushed her glasses up and smiled at Gu Hanchen, “I haven’t yet congratulated Mr. Gu on having a girlfriend.”
Gu Hanchen said, “Shared happiness, shared happiness. Your belly has disappeared in the blink of an eye, did you check if it’s a boy or a girl?”
Cheng Yue said indifferently, “No need to check, it’s all the sa.”
Gu Hanchen, hearing Cheng Yue’s tone and looking at her belly, thought to himself that her future son or daughter is pretty unfortunate, not only is the father indifferent, it seems like even the mother isn’t much expectant either.
Cheng Yue felt uncomfortable as Gu Hanchen stared at her belly.
Chu Lin coughed, “Cheng Yue, did you co here for sothing?”
Cheng Yue replied, “Nothing important, just that mom saw Mr. Gu’s Monts and asked to co here to host.”
Chu Lin took Gu Hanchen out of his blocked list, saw Gu Hanchen’s Monts, which posted a photo of him with Zhong Xiaoyi, captioned:
“Taking my girlfriend to Junior President Chu’s housewarming party.”
It also included a location tag.
Chu Lin: “…”
Gu Hanchen touched his nose and said, “I didn’t know you wanted to keep this address a secret, I thought you were just moving into a new matrimonial ho, I didn’t realize you were keeping it from your family too.”
Chu Lin couldn’t bla Gu Hanchen for this, as he hadn’t told Gu Hanchen before that this residence was a place he wanted to be alone.
Cheng Yue asked Zhong Xiaoyi, who was beside her, “I heard from Mrs. Gu that you’re going to lbourne for postgraduate studies?”
Zhong Xiaoyi nodded, “Yes, you studied abroad for your master’s as well, right?”
Cheng Yue chuckled lightly, “Yes, I studied my master’s at the University of Pennsylvania.”
“Wow!” Zhong Xiaoyi looked up in admiration, “You’re amazing, I wouldn’t even dare to apply to that school.”
Gu Hanchen said, “What’s there to be afraid of? I could donate a building and you’d get in, right?”
Zhong Xiaoyi shook her head repeatedly, “Brother Hanchen, stop joking.”
Cheng Yue smiled lightly, “Actually, the application wasn’t difficult. I was afraid I wouldn’t make it at first, but it turned out quite a success. If you change your mind, I can help you with a recomndation letter.”
Zhong Xiaoyi quickly replied, “Thanks for your kindness, but no need, my previous major wasn’t in finance, and changing fields would make it even harder to apply.”
Cheng Yue smiled and said, “Well, the school you’re going to is also a good one.”
Gu Hanchen looked at Cheng Yue and asked, “Did a lot of foreign classmates hit on you when you were studying abroad?”
Zhong Xiaoyi glanced at Gu Hanchen, “Brother Hanchen, what kind of question is that?”
Cheng Yue said, “Whenever I wasn’t in class or working on assignnts, I would work at a Chinese restaurant. Most interactions with classmates happened during group projects, so I hardly encountered anyone hitting on .”
“That’s strange, you’re pretty good-looking,” Gu Hanchen said, “how co no foreigners tried to hit on you?”
Zhong Xiaoyi stomped hard on Gu Hanchen under the dining table. She glanced at Chu Lin, who was shaking his wine glass and had just taken a sip of red wine.
Zhong Xiaoyi thought it was a stroke of trendous luck for Gu Hanchen with such an EQ to successfully beco the CEO of a listed company.
Cheng Yue smilingly said, “My free ti outside class was all spent working, I barely rember anyone hitting on .”
“Isn’t your family quite well-off?” Gu Hanchen asked, “Why do you still need to work?”
The wife of Chu Neng’s future successor wouldn’t possibly co from a poor family.
Cheng Yue replied, “My family’s financial situation isn’t great enough for studying abroad. My parents’ annual salary combined is just around 400 to 500 thousand, barely enough to cover my studying abroad expenses. Since I’m pursuing my master’s, I don’t want to rely entirely on my parents, so I work part-ti during my spare ti. Most importantly, I’m bad at cooking. Before studying abroad, I had never cooked, and working in a Chinese restaurant allows to eat for free.”
Zhong Xiaoyi was astounded, “That’s ridiculous, isn’t it? A million for two years?”
Cheng Yue replied, “The costs in the United States are relatively the highest, while Australia is relatively more economical.”
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “Luckily, because of the ti difference, I didn’t apply to the United States.”
Gu Hanchen said, “Now that you have , are you still worried about the study expenses?”
Zhong Xiaoyi whispered, “But we’re still only in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship right now…”
Gu Hanchen felt quite displeased hearing Zhong Xiaoyi say this.
