Chapter 47: Stay here for the night

September 6, 20XX (Friday)

Fu Hua Street and Royal Mansion 4

"Ariela, I did not know that you would rip off Lu Corp, without giving them any face." Daemon laughed.

Song Yu shrugged her shoulder and said indifferently, "They did not have a choice, since they needed my helped, they would need to offer a good deal for me to work with them. Right?"

Daemon nodded and said, "Right, I did not think we would get our hands on the two malls that easily."

Song Yu did not reply, she continued to pick some vegetables and eat. While putting some meat into the pot to cook. Song Yu and Daemon had a Mala hotpot, they ordered many different dishes. The whole table were full of ingredients, vary from vegetables to meats and to seafood. Song Yu and Daemon were at a road side food stall, it was Song Yu, Daemon, Yvonne and Zachary usual hideout.

Whenever they meet up, they would eat at the food stall at the roadside of Fu Hua street. Song Yu and Daemon was talking happily and had forgotten about the time, they were interrupted by a call coming from Song Yu's phone.

Song Yu looked at her phone on the right hand side of her table, when she saw the caller ID on the phone screen. Daemon glanced at Song Yu's phone and asked in a curious tone. "Ariela , who is Chen?"

Song Yu took her phone and said, "A business partner." Song Yu answered, as she stood up and walk away from the food stall. Song Yu answered the phone and said, "Hello"

"Where are you now?" Gu Chen asked coldly.

Song Yu replied calmly, "Fu Hua street"

Gu Chen frowned and said unhappily, "Have you no sense of time?"

Song Yu looked up and saw that the sky was already dark, she looked at her phone and saw that it was already 8 pm. She put the phone back to her ear and said, "oh, I forgot about the time."

"Come home now." Gu Chen said sternly, without giving any chance to reject.

Song Yu pouted before saying in an annoyed tone, "I will be back soon."

Gu Chen's brows furrowed deeper as he said, "Song Yu Yue"

Song Yu shuddered at how Gu Chen called her, she could feel that the man was trying to be patient with her and also felt that, if she were to reject him. Gu Chen would surely not leave any face for her, she begrudgingly said "Fine."

The corner of Gu Chen lips lifted up, "You better, if not don't even think of going out to eat with your friends again."

Song Yu pouted even more, she ignored what Gu Chen said and just hung up the phone. Song Yu placed her phone back into her trench coat and walked back to the food stall. Daemon who was happily gobbling down the food, saw Song Yu walked back with a sullen face and asked. "What happened, you don't look happy."

Song Yu stomped her right foot on the floor and said, "Hmph!" Song Yu stomped out of the food stall and towards her Audi R8. She slammed the door shut after getting into the drivers seat, and drove away after slamming the door shut.

Daemon who was baffled at how Song Yu acted, finally regained back his sense when Song Yu drove away. He mumbled to himself, "Did I offend her?" Daemon shrugged his shoulder, as he went back to eating the hotpot.

In Royal Mansion 4,

Gu Chen was inside of Song Yu's study room, inside the study room there was two of the same black glass desks, stick side by side at the left side of the room. There was two white computers and some documents placed neatly on the desk, in front of the desk. There was a grey Todd Extended Sectional Chaise Sofa on the corner right of the room, a small glass coffee table was placed in front if the sofa and some black bookshelf on the top right of the room. There was a white carpet on the floor, making the room look clean.

Gu Chen had recently changed these furniture in Song Yu's study room, Gu Chen sat on the right side of the desk, typing away on the keyboard. After an hour, Song Yu reached the mansion and parked her car before entering from the front porch.

Song Yu just came back from Fu Hua street, when she entered the house. She saw Aunt huang preparing to leave and asked, "Aunt Huang, it is very late now. Why not you stay here for the night?"

Aunt Huang who was preparing to leave when she saw Song Yu enter the mansion, "It's fine, I need to go back to take care of my grandson." Aunt Huang said.

Song Yu pouted before saying, "Alright, then I will let jack send you back."

Aunt Huang shook her head and said, "Jack also needs to rest, don;t trouble him. I will just take a cab back home."

"Aunt Huang, you know its hard to grab a cab here." Song Yu paused and contemplated for a moment before continuing. "Aunt Huang, I'll drive you back"

"...."

"Aunt Huang, give me 10 minutes. I'll go put my things and change my clothes first." Song Yu said, as she went up to her bedroom to change. Leaving Aunt Huang alone in the living room.

----------

Song Yu changed into a simple light pink sweater and a white ripped jeans, pair with a white shoe. As it was autumn, Song Yu wore a grey cardigan before exiting the bedroom. Song Yu thought for a moment and decided to drive a slower and comfortable car as she was going to drive Aunt Huang. She decided to drive her red min couper, hence. She went to her study room, to get the car key which was placed on her study table.

In the Study room, Gu Chen was looking through a document when someone opened the door without knocking. Gu Chen looked towards the door and saw Song Yu standing by the door with a slightly shocked expression. Gu Chen smirked and said, "don't you know how to knock?"

Song Yu did not know Gu Chen was in the study room, if she knew she would not have go to the study room and get the keys. She would have just drive another car which the car keys is hung in the key box at the garage.

"Why are you here?" Song Yu stuttered.

"I should be asking you that" Gu Chen asked back.

Song Yu lowered her head as she walked towards her desk and took the car keys on her desk, "I came to get the car keys" Song Yu muttered softly.

Gu Chen frown as he asked in his usual cold tone, "Where are you going" Gu Chen asked as he fold his arms across his chest and looked at Song Yu with his dark black eyes.

Song Yu fidgeted, feeling uncomfortable under Gu Chen intense gaze. "Drive Aunt Huang back home." Song Yu replied.

Gu Chen stood up as he walked around the table to Song Yu, Gu Chen grabbed Song Yu's left wrist with his right before pulling her out of the study room. "I'll drive her home, you stay here and wait for me." Gu Chen said in a stern tone.

Song Yu widened her eyes in disbelieved, the mighty Gu Chen would actually act as a driver for someone. "I want...."

"I know, I will go and buy some gastric pain medication." Gu Chen said in a helpless tone.

Song Yu widened her eyes even bigger, as she did not know why. All of a sudden she hugged Gu Chen from the back and nuzzled her face into Gu Chen's back. She mumbled against Gu Chen's broad back, "Hmm, Thank you." Maybe it was because nobody had cared for Song Yu like how Gu Chen did before, Song Yu felt touched. There was a mixed feelings inside of Song Yu's heart, she did not know what it was but she felt warmth all over her body.

Gu Chen who was slightly taken aback by Song Yu's sudden initiative, he stopped in his tracks and pat Song Yu's small hands. Which was around his waist, "No need to thank me, next time tell me if you are not feeling well. Don't hide anything from me, remember what I told you before. Be yourself when you are with me, hmm?" Gu Chen said coldly but there was slight tenderness through his words.

Song Yu hugged even tighter, she made a silly smile and said. "En"

Gu Chen untangled from Song Yu before turning to look at her, Gu Chen kissed Song Yu forehead tenderly and said in a gentle tone full of love. "Now be good, go and take a rest. I will wake you up to take the medications afterwards."

Song Yu hugged Gu Chen for a while more before walking going back to her room.
