4606 Never Too Late to Love (13)
Gu Chengze reached out and caressed her cheek. “Be good now, come home with me.”
She lowered her head with a flushed face and ran her fingers through her hair. “But I look so pathetic. Besides, I haven’t officially visited your parents…”
“My parents don’t live with me.”
Gu Chengze added, “I live alone.”
!!
“You live alone?”
“Uh huh.”
“But…”
“But…?”
“I’m not ready.”
Although they were married, living with a man… It seemed too unexpected. She was not mentally prepared at all.
Gu Chengze smiled knowingly. “Don’t worry, there are two bedrooms. You can sleep wherever you want.”
“…”
“By the way, if you’re free tomorrow, bring your belongings over.” Gu Chengze paused and asked, “Do you have any other belongings?”
“Actually… I don’t have much!” Bai Sheng gave a bitter smile and said, “Given what I’ve done tonight and knowing what my aunt is like, she’d have cut my clothes into shreds.”
She had left in a hurry just then. She should have taken this opportunity to pack her clothes and take them away. Other than clothes and a pile of skincare products, she didn’t seem to have anything particularly valuable.
When Gu Chengze heard this, he smiled. “As for clothes, you can buy them again.”
“Then I’ll…”
“When we get home later, take a shower and tell me your size. The mall is just downstairs.”
Only then did Bai Sheng nod in agreement.
…
She did not seem to know much about this man.
In her impression, he should be a high-class white-collar worker who lived in an ordinary neighborhood. However, from his temperament, he did not seem to be so.
Until the couple walked past the entrance of an apartment. The apartment was above the shopping mall and was used for both commercial and residential purposes.
After entering the apartment, Gu Chengze went to the bathroom to prepare hot water. Taking advantage of this time, Bai Sheng walked around the room. The apartment was not big, and had two bedrooms, two living rooms and a small study.
Gu Chengze walked out of the bathroom and saw her looking around curiously. He explained, “I’ve lived in this apartment since I was in university.”
“Did you buy this?”
“Uh, I rented it.”
“Rented it?”
“Uh huh…”
To be precise, the entire shopping mall and office building belonged to the Gu Corporation. However, ever since Gu Chengze became an adult, Gu Jinglian would ask him for rent every month. Gu Chengze would pay him the normal market price.
Gu Chengze’s lips curled into a smile. “However, I only pay the rent once every five years. The next time it expires is the year after next.”
She did a quick mental calculation. This apartment should be about 90 square meters, and the rent would be at least 100,000 yuan a year.
Five years would be around 500,000 yuan… To her, it was a huge sum. Typically, white-collar workers would not earn so much money.
Bai Sheng probed, “What kind of work do you do?”
“Me?”
Gu Chengze was the external CEO of Gu Corporation’s financial management company. In other words, he was a CEO with an annual salary.
In order to sharpen him and train him, as well as to let the board of directors consider if he was qualified to inherit the Gu Corporation, the man had employed his son with an annual salary. Under normal circumstances, the salary of his position was made up of annual salary and bonuses. The annual salary was about three million yuan. If the benefits were good, the bonuses would be very considerable.
Everyone in the Gu Corporation suspected that Gu Chengze was not the man’s biological son. Otherwise, why would Chairman Gu torture him so ruthlessly? How could he treat his biological son so harshly.
