Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 242: After Kicking Away the Scumbag, the Aloof Buddhist Son Dotes on His Wife 42

Zhou Mingyu didn’t speak, but instead took a step forward and embraced her directly.

His move was so sudden that Su Zhiruan didn’t react in time and was tightly pulled into his arms.

The cold sandalwood scent from his body lingered around her nose, and even his embrace carried a faint chill.

"What’s wrong?" Su Zhiruan wrapped her arms around him, not understanding why he suddenly stayed at the door and then abruptly held her.

"Actually, I’ve been keeping something from you," Zhou Mingyu didn’t let go of her, his voice was muffled as he spoke into her ear, "but I’ve never dared to tell you."

"Go on, let me hear it." Su Zhiruan became curious. What could he possibly be keeping from her? She quickly ran through her thoughts but couldn’t come up with anything, "I’m a bit curious."

Zhou Mingyu still didn’t let go, and with a look of unease in his eyes, he weighed his words for a moment before slowly saying, "The WeChat account I gave you was my secondary account. I suddenly regretted it afterward. I should have given you my primary account. Fearing that you might mind, I’ve kept it a secret and haven’t told you."

Su Zhiruan took out her phone and glanced at it. She had marked it with three characters for Zhou Mingyu, and now his WeChat didn’t quite seem like a secondary account. She questioned him in the same vein, "I see you post in your Moments every now and then, changing your profile picture. Who would have thought it was a secondary account?"

She recalled that when she first added Zhou Mingyu on WeChat, his account did look like a secondary one, with a very simple, casual profile picture, a WeChat ID comprised of a string of random characters, and an empty Moments. But now, it resembled the account of a person who loved to share and embrace life.

Zhou Mingyu buried his head in the crook of her shoulder, "This account, I’ve only added you. I realized this morning that my phone was gone, and then it struck me that our only link to each other was this account. Without the phone, I couldn’t contact you."

Initially, he didn’t know Su Zhiruan. In the elevator, she asked for his WeChat, perhaps because she found her approach novel, or maybe just because she was curious about what the gossip was, he then added Su Zhiruan with his secondary account.

But he didn’t expect that as they chatted, they started developing feelings. One day, he suddenly regretted it—wondering if Su Zhiruan would mind if she knew this was only his secondary account, and gradually detach herself from his life.

This feeling of being close yet distant was causing him anxiety. After confirming his feelings for her, it wasn’t long after meeting that Zhou Mingyu wanted to bring their relationship closer, which is why Su Zhiruan felt things were moving too fast.

"So, you think that after knowing this I would have reservations?" Su Zhiruan lifted her phone with a smile and leaned close to Zhou Mingyu’s ear, "Worried that I would mind?"

"Yes," Zhou Mingyu dared not let go of her, but was also afraid of hurting her, "so, would you mind?"

"I would mind," Su Zhiruan said in a casual tone, but the words she spoke made Zhou Mingyu’s heart skip a beat.

"I’m sorry, I…"

Before he could continue, he saw Su Zhiruan open her phone and then her personal QR code.

The next second, he heard Su Zhiruan laugh and say, "If you are worried that I would mind, then let’s get to know each other all over again."

"Hello, I am Su Zhiruan."

...

After everything was laid out in the open, Zhou Mingyu took the opportunity to add most of her contact information and earnestly updated her contact name in his phone.

"Ruanruan, are you going out?" he asked, puzzled as he saw Su Zhiruan dressed to leave, with car keys in her hand.

Pressing the elevator button, Su Zhiruan replied, "I have to go work at Su Group. Speaking of which, why aren’t you going to work?"

Seeing the look of discontent on her face, Zhou Mingyu took the initiative to grab the car keys from her and hurriedly explained, "I don’t need to go to the company every day."

After he finished speaking, Su Zhiruan’s look of discontent deepened.

But having someone to drive her wasn’t too bad, so she accepted the offer from the future head of the Zhou Family to be her driver.

Before she started the tasks, she was nothing more than a worker, and to her surprise, even in Small World, she remained a worker—only this time with a higher status and more responsibilities.

"You can take a break too. How are Uncle Su and Aunt Su doing?" Zhou Mingyu buckled her seatbelt, then inquired about the well-being of her parents.

"Them?" Su Zhiruan let him fasten her seatbelt while she adjusted the smart seat to an angle more suitable for resting. She sighed and said, "Since I started working, they’ve become just like you, coming and going as they please, or sometimes just running off halfway through."

"That’s because you’re doing well, and Uncle Su and Aunt Su trust you." Zhou Mingyu drove smoothly, knowing the way to Su Group’s building so well that he didn’t even need to set up the navigation.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I am truly honored and delighted to receive such praise from you," Su Zhiruan said lazily, reclining in her seat and enjoying the luxury of having a personal driver.

When Zhou Mingyu parked Su Zhiruan’s sports car in front of the Su Group building, Su Zhiruan sat up slowly and unbuckled her seatbelt herself.

Just as she was about to get out of the car, she suddenly spotted two very familiar figures walking boldly out of the revolving glass doors.

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than her dear father and mother.

"Mom, Dad, where are you planning to go?" Su Zhiruan opened the car door and got out just as they were approaching.

When her parents caught sight of Su Zhiruan, they were almost startled but quickly broke into an embarrassed smile.

"Ruanruan, what a coincidence to run into you here. Who’s that in the car? He looks very familiar," Su father chuckled awkwardly, quickly trying to steer the conversation away.

"The one in the car is Zhou Mingyu." Su Zhiruan cut off her father’s attempt to change the subject.

Hearing it was Zhou Mingyu, the parents couldn’t help but be surprised.

Even though quite some time had passed since Zhou Mingyu expressed his wish to date Su Zhiruan, they still found it hard to believe this reality. Every time they heard the name Zhou Mingyu, their first thought went to that elusive Crown Prince of the Zhou Family, not the Zhou Mingyu who was currently clinging to their daughter, acting as her driver.

Zhou Mingyu had also stepped out of the car by now, greeting them politely, "Hello Uncle and Auntie."

"Mr. Zhou." Su parents hurried to return the greeting.

"I drove Ruanruan to work. Are you heading home now? I can give you a lift," Zhou Mingyu offered actively.

"No need, our driver is waiting over there, we should be going." Su mother pointed to the other side where a car was indeed waiting.

"Ruanruan, do your best at work. We believe in you!" Su father cheered Su Zhiruan on with a wave of his hand, then bid farewell to Zhou Mingyu and the couple walked away.

"When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a man, it first exercises his mind with suffering," Su Zhiruan sighed deeply.

"They are getting on in years and they trust you. Let them have their fun," Zhou Mingyu took her hand, looking with her toward the departing figures, "How about I accompany you at work?"

"That would be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. If outsiders knew that the Zhou Family heir was working at such a small company, their jaws would drop," Su Zhiruan led Zhou Mingyu towards the company, "A gentleman’s word is his bond; you’ll have to help me out then!"

In stark contrast to this scene was the nearly destitute Jiang Beiyu.

These past few days, without a job, he quickly burned through all his savings, and even the money belonging to Bai Yueyou and his mother.

At his wit’s end, it was Bai Yueyou who suddenly remembered the jewelry he had given her.
