Chapter 36: Time Imprint

Mu Luoxi thought of something and teased, “A-Yu, my standards for a partner have become much higher after being with you. If I can’t get married later, you’ll divorce your Mr. Gu and be responsible for me.”

Ruan Yu walked over and gently poked her forehead with her finger, “Don’t worry, our Luoxi is beautiful and kind-hearted, she won’t have trouble getting married.”

“That’s true.” Mu Luoxi raised her chin, agreeing with her.

“The decoration is great,” Ruan Yu looked around, “It’s just like I imagined.”

“You should see who decorated it.” Mu Luoxi put down the feather duster in her hand, patted her chest, and arrogantly raised her chin, “As your best friend, if I don’t know your preferences, that’s just too much.”

Ruan Yu was amused by her appearance, “Thank you, my Luoxi baby.”

Mu Luoxi sat on the sofa, propping her chin, she hesitated, “What do you think we should name the coffee shop?”

The opening was approaching, and the coffee shop didn’t have an official name yet, and the sign hadn’t been made.

Ruan Yu thought for a while, “Let’s call it Time Imprint, what do you think?”

She asked Mu Luoxi’s opinion.

“You’re amazing, A-Yu.” Mu Luoxi gave her a thumbs up, “The name is so beautiful, so artistic, I like it.”

The coffee shop opening was still a few weeks away. Since Ruan Yu was injured, Jiang Shiqing stopped asking her to send soup to the old Gu residence every day, she wanted her to rest well.

Although Jiang Shiqing didn’t say she forgave her, Ruan Yu could tell that she had already forgiven her.

After the wound on her arm healed, Ruan Yu and Mu Luoxi signed up for a coffee training course. Although there would be professional baristas when the shop opened, it was still good to master these technical skills.

During the course, Ruan Yu and Mu Luoxi studied diligently and quickly mastered the skills.

The opening date was getting closer, and Ruan Yu was getting more and more nervous.

That day, she had just finished working at the coffee shop, she finally picked up the finished sign and hung it at the door. The wooden sign was carved with the four large characters “Time Imprint.”

Mu Luoxi had something to do and left early. Ruan Yu picked up her phone and sent a message to Gu Yan Zhi, 【Are you busy?】

【Yeah】 The message came back almost instantly.

【Can you be my first customer, come down and have a cup of coffee made by me?】

The man behind the desk curled his lips, his bony fingers tapped on the screen, 【My pleasure.】

Within five minutes, Ruan Yu saw the familiar figure. When she saw him, her lips curled slightly. She went to the door and made a gesture of invitation, “Welcome to Time Imprint.”

She acted like a professional, which made Gu Yan Zhi laugh. He reached out with his long arm, pulled her into his arms, and looked at her with a playful smile, “What benefits are there for the first customer?”

Ruan Yu looked up, her eyes narrowed, “Of course there are.”

She gently covered Gu Yan Zhi’s lips and lightly pecked them. As he was about to deepen the kiss, Ruan Yu pulled away from his lips.

Gu Yan Zhi suppressed the heat in his body. He couldn’t help himself whenever he saw Ruan Yu. She was such a tempting little vixen.

Since her arm was injured, Gu Yan Zhi had been suppressing the fire in his body for the past few days. Every night, he would just hold her and sleep, without doing anything.

He had endured for so many days, this little thing was only thinking about starting a fire, not putting it out. He lightly brushed her nose, “Tease and run? Let’s see how I deal with you tonight, little thing. Even if you beg, it’s no use.”

Ruan Yu’s face flushed red, she glanced at Gu Yan Zhi, his expression was natural. She changed the subject, “What would Mr. Gu like to drink?”

“Americano.”

“Okay, Mr. Gu, please wait a moment.”

After ten minutes, Ruan Yu brought the coffee and placed it on the table in front of Gu Yan Zhi, “Mr. Gu, please enjoy.”

She sat down opposite Gu Yan Zhi, raising her eyebrows at him, “Gu Yan Zhi, this coffee shop is so close to you, did you plan this from the beginning, to come here every day to get free coffee?”

Gu Yan Zhi chuckled, he didn’t know what was going on in this little thing’s head. He put her under his nose so he could feel at ease and give her freedom, the best of both worlds.

But this little thing thought he wanted free coffee, “Does Madam Gu agree?”

Ruan Yu, of course, agreed. Seeing Gu Yan Zhi’s serious expression, she felt playful, “That won’t do, it’s going to cost you.”

Gu Yan Zhi picked up his phone. She thought he had something to deal with, so she quieted down. After a while, as he put down his phone, her phone rang, she received a text message.

Ruan Yu opened her phone, the message was from the bank, her account had been credited with a sum of money. She looked at Gu Yan Zhi across from her, a faint smile curved his lips.

She lowered her head to look at her phone, one… ten… hundred… million… ten million…

Fifty-two million…

This man was actually playing romantic.

But other people’s romance was 520 or 1314, this man casually threw out millions. She seriously suspected that he had a mountain of gold hidden away that she didn’t know about.

Gu Yan Zhi saw her surprised expression, his thin lips parted, “Is that enough to cover your coffee for a lifetime?”

Ruan Yu: “…”

More than a lifetime’s worth of coffee, it would last ten lifetimes. Even if he drank it every day, he wouldn’t need that much money.

She had always believed the rumors that the CEO of t.z Group was worth billions, now she realized that it was probably far more than that, “Gu Yan Zhi, are you hiding money from me?”

“Why would Madam say that?”

Ruan Yu looked serious. He had transferred money to her many times since they got their marriage certificate, each time it was tens of millions at least. Even though she couldn’t spend it all, “You’re so generous, I have to suspect you.”

Gu Yan Zhi’s brow was filled with a smile, “I’m only like this to Madam.”

He picked up the coffee on the table, brought it to his lips, and took a sip. The aroma lingered in his mouth, “After drinking Madam’s coffee, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stomach any other coffee.”

Ruan Yu stopped worrying about the transfer. She heard that Gu Yan Zhi was praising her, and she was excited, “Since Mr. Gu said so, if you want to drink coffee but don’t have time to come to the shop, send me a message, I’ll personally deliver it to Mr. Gu’s office.”

Being close had its advantages, it was convenient, it was only a five-minute drive.

Gu Yan Zhi’s gaze fell on her, filled with tenderness, “Okay.”

The coffee shop was done, all that was left was to wait for the opening. Gu Yan Zhi hadn’t finished work yet, he had a cup of coffee and had to go back to work. Ruan Yu originally wanted to go back first.

Gu Yan Zhi pulled her, asking her to play in the office for a while, then they would go back together.

At first, Ruan Yu didn’t want to, because if she was there, she would only affect Gu Yan Zhi’s work progress, his attention would be on her.

In the end, she succumbed to Gu Yan Zhi, she obediently let him lead her by the hand to the company.
