So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

Chu Yu never expected that her first meeting with her parents would result in her falling into a deep sleep.

The consequences of staying up all night yesterday are finally here.

Shang Xuzhi couldn't bear to wake her, so he let her continue to sleep.

As night fell and the city lights came on, the little girl still showed no signs of waking up.

Grandpa Shang was unaware of the reason and was so worried that he wanted to call the family doctor to take a look.

It took Shang Xuzhi a long explanation to finally persuade him to stop.

Worried that the girl might catch a cold if she went home at night, Shang Xuzhi decided to take her home before the temperature dropped.

She picked out one of her own long coats, which perfectly covered the petite girl.

He gently and slowly lifted her into his arms, afraid of waking her, and simply nodded slightly to say goodbye to the others.

The silver-topped Maybach drove smoothly and steadily on the road.

The man in the back seat of the car leaned back, with a small, soft bundle nestled in his arms.

With the air conditioning on in the car, Shang Xuzhi loosened her coat and simply draped it loosely over her back.

The man had taken off his suit jacket, and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt above his forearms, revealing his strong, full, and well-defined arms.

A strong arm encircled the girl's slender waist, giving her a sense of security.

His other hand gently rested on her back.

This was her usual sleeping position, with the man's broad palms covering her back, giving her a sense of security and allowing her to fall asleep peacefully.

The partition inside the car has been closed, creating a quiet and private space.

Chu Yu woke up in the man's arms.

"woke up?"

"Um--"

The girl let out a soft, sleepy hum.

Her fair face unconsciously rubbed against the man's shirt, just like she would when she was being affectionate.

Shang Xuzhi's heart softened terribly. He lowered his head and kissed her temple, gently coaxing, "Be good, we'll be home soon."

"Uh-huh!?"

Chu Yu snapped out of her daze and straightened up from the man's arms.

The sudden movement startled the man, who quickly raised his hand to protect her and prevent her from falling.

Why are we leaving so soon?

Shang Xuzhi was taken aback. "My dear, do you want to stay at the old house for the night?"

It was he who took it upon himself to think that Xiao Bao wouldn't be used to staying out overnight, so he hurriedly brought him home before the temperature dropped.

Chu Yu was also confused. Was that what she meant?

What I mean is, why didn't you wake me up?

The first time I visited their parents, I fell asleep and got carried away by their son...

Shang Xuzhi clearly didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and casually reached out to tidy up her slightly messy hair.

"You didn't sleep well last night, you should catch up on some sleep."

There's no need to make it at your old family home...

This misunderstanding ended abruptly.

Chu Yu knew, of course, that the man hadn't woken her up because he felt sorry for her.

She was just speechless at herself; how much sleep could she possibly have!

Shang Xuzhi chuckled and lowered his head to kiss the little girl's puffed-up cheeks.

"Okay, okay, it's alright, Daddy won't blame you, okay?"

The little girl was unhappy, but nodded in agreement with him.

Unable to bear seeing her even slightly unhappy, the man leaned over and kissed her rosy lips, gently caressing them.

Chu Yu was already held tightly in his arms, with no way to escape, so she could only tilt her head back and endure it, her slender neck curving gracefully.

……

The air inside the trunk gradually became ambiguous and lingering.

Chu Yu's skirt, which was hidden under the man's coat, had already piled up to her waist, and three of the gold-inlaid jade buttons on the collar had somehow come undone.

The man grabbed Chu Yu's hand as she reached to button her clothes.

"Be good, it's okay—"

……

The girl blushed deeply and hid her flushed face in the crook of the man's neck to hide her embarrassment.

She let the man's calloused fingertips roam freely.

……

Shang Xuzhi knew that the young girl was shy, and that such things should be done step by step.

Besides that, he didn't do anything else.

The car slowly drove into the Shang family manor, and Chu Yu arrived, trembling in the man's arms.

……

The man silently curved his lips into a smile, without telling her.

After wrapping the person up tightly again, they carried them directly from the underground parking garage to the master bedroom via elevator.

-

Shang Xu was originally scheduled to return to the company immediately after his leg healed.

Chu Yu was worried about him and insisted that he stay at home to rest for a while before he could return to normal work.

Finally, after a week of rest and recuperation, the young woman nodded in agreement to let him return to the company.

Now it was Shang Xuzhi's turn to be reluctant to part with it.

Since Chu Yu came to their home, they have never been apart for a single day.

Even during the time he was undergoing rehabilitation, the two were only separated by a wall.

But now he has to leave her every day to work at the Shang's Building in the city center.

That would have been the death of him.

Fortunately, his little one is very easy to please; he only needed a few cans of food and he readily agreed to go to the company with him.

Despite her social anxiety, Chu Chu ultimately decided to transform into a cat and go to the company with the man.

As a result, gossip began to boil over in all the various groups of the Shang Group from early morning.

The fact that the boss, who had been in a wheelchair for five years, suddenly stood up was already shocking enough.

The image of the usually gentle yet aloof man holding a silver-white Minute cat in his arms with a doting expression was secretly photographed and quickly spread in various small groups within the company.

I don't know who was quick enough to accidentally send it to a large group chat where Shang Xuzhi is present.

In an instant, the entire group fell into dead silence.

The person in question remained calm, carefully opening the photo and even zooming in to examine it closely, a tender look emanating from their dark eyes.

After a while.

[Shang Xuzhi - Chairman]: The photos are great. Could you send me a copy of the original? Thank you @Tianxuan Dagongren Xiete.

[Chosen Worker Shet - Planning Department Team Leader]: Okay, okay! Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Shang!

On the other side, Shit, who had been quietly watching the drama unfold in the toilet, suddenly wiped away a bead of cold sweat.

He clicked on Shang Xuzhi's profile picture, entered the private chat window, opened the album, selected the photo from earlier, and sent it.

All in one go.

Finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, a new message notification sounded.

Sheet nervously clicked on it.

[Shang Xuzhi - Chairman]: Transfer of RMB.

[Shang Xuzhi - Chairman]: Thank you for the photo. This is the payment.

Shit cursed under his breath.

Who can understand his complex and ecstatic feelings at this moment?

You wouldn't guess your boss is a cat lover.

-

Worried that the noise from the crowd would frighten Chu Chu, Shang Xuzhi deliberately avoided people and took the private passage directly to his office on the top floor.

Logically, since he had just recovered and hadn't been to the company for so long, he should have been patrolling up from the front desk.

But nothing is more important than her right now. The inspection can wait until the young lady has settled in before she accompanies him as the boss's wife.
