The cold-hearted president falls in love with the vengeful princess

Gu Family Villa -

Gu Tingchen was dressed in a dark blue suit. Standing at 190cm tall, he liked to put on his suit jacket and tie at the same time. He picked up the dark blue suit jacket next to the wardrobe in the dressing room with his right hand. He wore dark blue trousers that accentuated his long legs, and brown leather shoes. On his wrists were gray-black diamond watches and a light blue tie. After putting on his suit jacket, he slowly pushed his tie up his collar with his left hand.

He walked to the bedroom door, opened it, and strode out. Gu Tingchen's long legs didn't actually walk; they strode. His dark eyes were cold and deep, like a bottomless abyss. One glance from them could destroy you forever.

Gu Tingchen went down to the second floor, turned the right-hand corridor, and strode to the door of the bedroom decorated in a fresh, sweet and stylish floral lace style. His eyebrows twitched slightly, his thin lips pursed, and his dark eyes softened. He wondered if Ranran had woken up yet. His eyes flickered, and he gripped the doorknob with his right hand.

He gently turned the doorknob and strode into the bedroom. The bedroom was quiet, with a hint of girlish sweetness. His dark eyes quickly swept over the white, purple, and blue mixed-color bedroom, which contained many small items. He wondered when Ranran had installed these for him.

Gu Tingchen stepped forward. Beside the sofa stood three small rectangular cabinets with blue rose carvings. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked down. On them were moon-shaped, circle-shaped, and wave-shaped crystal balls. His dark eyes glanced to the right, where there were also crystal-clear diamonds. He took a step forward with his right leg.

Gu Tingchen's dark eyes held a slight smile. Where did this little girl get such a collection of exquisite little items? He smiled slightly. These crystals and diamonds didn't look cheap. Did she buy them at an auction house? But they were quite in line with her style.

Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Gu Tingchen turned to look. Nie Ranran was standing in the doorway wearing a long, fluffy nightgown with rabbit ears. Her clear eyes were still sleepy, and she rubbed her eyes with her hands before slowly letting go.

Nie Ranran slowly opened her eyes, her pupils contracted, and her eyes, which had been sleepy just moments before, now shimmered with a watery light. She ran over to him, and Gu Tingchen turned around. Nie Ranran jogged over, stood in front of him, tilted her head slightly, and looked at him with bright, clear, watery eyes.

Gu Tingchen lowered his eyes slightly, his dark eyes calm and indifferent. His deep, abyss-like eyes could see through her staying up all night, because her eyes looked a little puffy. Nie Ranran blinked her clear, bright eyes at the man.

She pouted her cherry-red lips slightly, her long, curled eyelashes fluttering as she blinked. She pouted slightly, looking a little aggrieved, and said, "Brother Chen, you're awake so early? I went to bed around 3 a.m., watched an American crime movie, and I'm so sleepy now."

As she spoke, she subconsciously opened her mouth and yawned. Nie Ranran yawned, opened her eyes, and there was some water in her eyes. The meaning in her clear eyes was crystal clear. Gu Tingchen's dark eyes darkened slightly. His handsome face was calm and expressionless, but his eyes darkened.

Seeing this, Nie Ranran pouted and furrowed her delicate, arched eyebrows. She raised her hand and tugged at his suit sleeve in a circular motion. She said, pouting, "I was wrong, Brother Chen, don't be angry, don't be angry. It's all because that movie was too good. I only got absorbed in it for a second, so I..."

Her voice was slightly hurried, pleading and sweet. Gu Tingchen's long, dark eyes looked at her with sharp gaze. Nie Ranran's clear eyes widened in surprise. Her pupils shrank slightly, and her pretty face stared blankly at the tall and upright man.

Gu Tingchen's dark eyes remained unmoved, and Nie Ranran didn't dare to breathe. She bit her lower lip lightly and remained silent for a moment. Then, the man's eyes flickered slightly, and his cold and sharp features softened a little. He said softly, "Yes, if there's a next time, Ranran, you know what will happen, yeah."

The man's voice was low and deep, carrying a slight hint of anger, which sent chills down one's spine. Nie Ranran opened her clear eyes halfway, paused for a moment, and then hurriedly nodded and smiled with narrowed eyes: "Ah? Okay, okay, Ranran knows, it really won't happen again next time. I'm going to wash up, Brother Chen."

Gu Tingchen glanced at her with his dark eyes. Nie Ranran smiled sweetly at him, her eyes full of tenderness. She parted her cherry-red lips, turned around, and strode towards the bathroom. Gu Tingchen also strode towards her bedroom door and went out.

After washing up, Nie Ranran smiled sweetly, her clear eyes darting around. "Hey, where's Brother Chen?" Her face fell. Was he still angry? It wasn't her fault, was it? She was supposed to go to sleep at 1 a.m., but when she picked up her laptop, she saw a newly released American crime thriller and clicked on it out of curiosity.

It was a serial killer movie where several American police officers couldn't solve the case and even went to Germany and England to find the criminals. In the end, a detective who was also investigating the serial killer case appeared and finally caught the ten murderers. She watched it until 3 a.m., and then Nie Ranran felt sleepy and closed her eyes again.

In the dining room of the Gu family villa, Gu Tingchen sat at the dining table on the right. Butler Mu and several servants brought breakfast to the table. It was 8:10 in the morning. His phone was on the right side of the table. When breakfast was served, Gu Tingchen looked up at the table.

On the table were milk bread rolls, milk oatmeal porridge, corn noodles, purple sweet potato cake, and a bowl of beef and potato noodles. Gu Tingchen lowered his eyes, picked up his phone with one hand, and deftly swiped the screen with his right. It showed that the morning meeting was still an hour away. He narrowed his dark eyes and frowned, pursing his lips as he said, "Why is the morning meeting so early today?"

The next second, Nie Ranran walked briskly into the restaurant. The man heard the sound of high heels and looked up. Nie Ranran was wearing a gray-black suit-style skirt that revealed her legs on the side. A thin black belt was tied around her small waist, and a black pistol bag was hanging on her wrist. Her calves were slender, long, white and straight, and a pair of dark blue high heels made her figure look exquisite and delicate.

Gu Tingchen blinked his dark eyes slightly. He placed his phone on the dining table and said with a slight movement of his thin lips, "Come and have breakfast quickly. My company's morning meeting starts around nine, Ranran." Nie Ranran walked over quickly, pulled out the dining chair on the left, and sat down gracefully.

Gu Tingchen quickly started eating his breakfast. Nie Ranran glanced at him while eating, then took a bite of the purple sweet potato milk cake. Her pretty face flushed slightly pink, and she smiled. "Brother Chen isn't angry anymore," she thought. She quickly ate and stopped daydreaming. He still had to attend the morning meeting at 9:00. Nie Ranran then glanced at the man again.

Gu Tingchen lowered his head, his right hand holding a knife and fork, he picked up a small piece of beef and slowly brought it to his thin lips. Nie Ranran's bright smile faded, her clear eyes hiding their shrewdness. "My lips are so thin, like paper," she thought, blushing and lowering her head.

The next second, the man suddenly raised his head and looked at Nie Ranran. She had her head down, and today she had half-tied up her slightly wavy hair, revealing her curly side-swept bangs and her fair, jade-like face. He turned his dark eyes slightly and said in a cold, deep voice: "Little girl, do you want to eat breakfast or your own hair?"

Nie Ranran almost choked while eating her milk cake. She hurriedly looked up and saw Gu Tingchen's hawk-like dark eyes glance at her indifferently. His gaze was as deep as a cold pool, and his dark pupils looked at her calmly. He pursed his lips and said, "Are you eating breakfast or your own hair, Ranran?"

Nie Ranran's clear eyes widened in surprise. She blinked her bright, watery eyes, then flicked her right curly bangs towards her mouth. Her small nose wrinkled slightly, and she grinned foolishly, "Hahahaha, my hair! I took my hair out, and it seems to have gotten on my lips."

As she spoke, Nie Ranran put down her chopsticks, raised her hand to pick up the curly bangs by her lips, gently curled them, and flicked them away with her fingers. Gu Tingchen's dark eyes revealed a faint smile. He looked at her with a slight smile in his eyes. Nie Ranran smiled sweetly at him and said: "Hehehe, that's enough, Brother Chen. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known that my hair had gone to my lips."

Gu Tingchen's smile immediately turned cold. He lowered his head, and Nie Ranran also lowered her head. The two ate breakfast. After breakfast, Gu Tingchen had a morning meeting at around nine o'clock. He didn't say much to Nie Ranran before striding to the entrance of the Gu family villa. Nie Ranran watched the man's tall and swift figure leave the living room. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. Even the back view of Gu Tingchen made her feel weak all over.

In the conference room of the Gu Group, Gu Tingchen's hawk-like dark eyes coldly surveyed the audience below. The employees sat upright. At this moment, his phone beeped with a message notification. He quickly picked it up and saw three familiar words. His eyes widened suddenly. It was a message from Song Yuyan.

He quickly swiped his phone screen and looked at it. On the screen was a pregnancy test report sent by Song Yuyan. The report read, "The baby is developing well, and the embryo has formed." Gu Tingchen couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He just felt a little depressed. His dark eyes darkened.

She and Zeyu went for their prenatal checkup today? Gu Tingchen felt it was necessary to pause the meeting. He put down his phone, stood up abruptly from his chair, and his sharp, dark eyes swept across the room with a cold gaze. He said indifferently, "The meeting is suspended for half an hour. Everyone will resume in a while. Qin Mo."

Assistant Qin Mo was sitting at the small table on the right. Upon hearing the president's voice, he quickly stood up and walked over. Gu Tingchen turned to look at Qin Mo and said calmly, "The meeting is suspended for half an hour. It will continue in a while. Qin Mo."

Qin Mo bent down and bowed his head, saying, "Yes, Mr. Gu." Gu Tingchen gave a low "Mm," then strode to the conference room door. He walked out of the conference room, finding himself alone in the corridor. He went to the window and turned on his phone.

Looking at the pregnancy test results Song Yuyan sent him, his dark eyes darkened, his handsome face fell, and his brows and eyes became gloomy. Gu Tingchen took a deep breath. Even so, he still felt a tightness in his heart. He still remembered Song Yuyan's sweet smile to him in Nan Zeyu's restaurant.

A moment later, Gu Tingchen returned to the conference room and continued the meeting. However, as the meeting progressed, he became somewhat absent-minded. He tried his best to calm himself down, but when the words of the pregnancy test report flashed in his eyes, Gu Tingchen, holding the microphone, was speechless.

He actually spaced out during the meeting… Gu Tingchen raised his right hand and slammed it hard on the conference table, the loud thud startling the employees sitting below, who froze in their tracks. Gu Tingchen's dark eyes narrowed, and he slowly spoke, his thin lips barely moving: “It’s alright, everyone, let’s continue the meeting. Next, let’s talk about the project with Da Sen. I plan to start construction on this project at the beginning of next year. Many people are eyeing the Da Sen project; besides developing an entertainment complex, it also…”

Gu Tingchen thought of Song Yuyan's sweet face, her smiling, watery eyes, and her soft, sweet voice. He subconsciously shook his head. Oh no, why did I think of her today? Gu Tingchen quickly regained his icy demeanor and said in a deep voice, "We can also expand this project, and then..."

It was almost 11 a.m. when the meeting ended. Gu Tingchen walked out of the conference room and strode forward. He returned to his office, stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, and thought about what he needed to do to forget Song Yuyan's disturbing face. What did he need to do?

Gu Tingchen turned around, his dark eyes sweeping across the office. What was he going to do? His dark eyes narrowed deeply. Since returning to the Gu family from the Nan family that day, Gu Tingchen hadn't thought of Song Yuyan. But today, after receiving the pregnancy test results from her, he didn't know what was wrong with him. He raised his hand and patted his forehead. Gu Tingchen, what exactly do you want to do?

The person next to her is Nan Zeyu. Why do you miss her? Why do you think about her face? Why do you think about her eyebrows and eyes? Gu Tingchen muttered to himself, but longing was like a knife, cutting into his heart with each stroke, twisting his heart, making even longing painful.

Gu Tingchen looked at his desk, strode over, picked up his phone, and turned it on. Song Yuyan had sent another WeChat message. He looked at the chat box and saw that she had sent a message saying: "Nan Zeyu and I are still in line. We've been waiting for half an hour. There are so many people queuing at the OB-GYN today. I arrived later. I came to the OB-GYN today mainly to check the fetal heartbeat."
