Sure enough, her period had started. Su Maiqi went to the bathroom to change into a safe pull-up diaper and went back to bed.

Gu Tingyu's entire body was slumped on one side of her body, and she felt like she had nowhere to lie down.

I want to sleep on the other side, but I feel like it would be too strange for the other person if I woke up in the morning.

After hesitating for a long time, I managed to lie down on my side, my body pressed against the curve of the other person's body.

The bed was actually big enough that the two of them each had their own blanket. Gu Tingyu went to bed late and woke up early, and when Su Maiqi woke up, she would often see the other blanket clearly separated from her own side.

When I wake up, I'm always sleeping in a position that's relatively close to the middle.

But perhaps because I've been gone for too long, Gu Tingyu has already rolled over to my side.

Su Maiqi closed her eyes, relaxed her body, and hoped to fall asleep as soon as possible.

But she felt the person next to her sway and roll closer. Instinctively, she moved to the side, one leg already halfway off the ground.

Suddenly, the person next to him pulled him into their arms and towards the inside of the bed.

Gu Tingyu was very strong. With a simple turn of his body, he wrapped one arm around Su Maiqi and she was back in the middle of the bed.

She dared not move, both afraid of the embarrassment of the other person being awake and also afraid of accidentally waking them up while they were asleep.

Lying in Gu Tingyu's arms, she slowly listened to his even breathing and gradually fell asleep.

When Gu Tingyu woke up in the morning, he saw the other person sleeping soundly with their body pressed tightly against his, and he had one arm around the other person.

He gently pulled his arm out, secretly relieved that the girl was fast asleep.

Sometimes I really envy her sleep. She goes to bed early at night and wakes up naturally at seven in the morning, just in time for work. Her biological clock is frighteningly precise.

I get about 9 hours of sleep every day, it's such a blessing.

Gu Tingyu, on the other hand, didn't sleep so well. He was afraid of the feeling of tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep, so he always stayed up until he was very tired before going to bed.

I wake up very easily at night. Sometimes I can't fall back asleep after waking up. I toss and turn until morning, and when I get up, I feel even more dizzy and nauseous.

Later, he simply stopped struggling. When he woke up at night and couldn't fall back asleep, he would get up to work, or read a book, watch a movie, and then lie down to sleep when he was tired again.

If I don't get enough sleep, I'll take a nap at noon if I have the chance; I've gotten used to it.

But ever since he started sleeping in the same bedroom as Su Maiqi, he has found it much easier to fall asleep.

Su Maiqi has a very regular sleep schedule. She goes to bed around 10 p.m. and can definitely fall asleep before 10:30 p.m.

Gu Tingyu usually returned to his bedroom right on time, around 11 o'clock. Listening to the even breathing of the person next to him was truly the best hypnotic sound effect.

She was sleeping so soundly, her sleeping appearance peaceful and beautiful. Gu Tingyu lay beside her, and he felt his heart gradually calm down, and he unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

He would still wake up sometimes at night, but each time he woke up he would feel a soft body pressed against him. He was reluctant to move and was afraid of disturbing the other person.

It's always easy to fall asleep again while lying down.

But of course he didn't want Su Maqi to know his secret. Anyway, he got up earlier than her every day, and after getting up, he would neatly place his blankets on his side.

The difference is clear.

It's as if they really are just roommates sharing a bed.

Soon the day arrived to meet Mario and his wife. Sumaiqi chose a dark blue Chinese-style down jacket, embroidered with exquisite plum blossom patterns, and trimmed with gold trim on the collar and cuffs.

Having reviewed the information provided by Gu Tingyu beforehand, I learned that Mario's wife, Pei Rong, is a Chinese who grew up in Spain and has a deep affection for Chinese culture.

I usually like Chinese-style clothing.

Su Maiqi originally wanted to choose a cheongsam, but firstly, the weather was too cold, and secondly, the meeting place was outdoors, so they had to go to the folk street to visit a temple fair first and then have a meal together.

Wearing a cheongsam outdoors is inconvenient and difficult to coordinate with other outfits. It can look too deliberate.

He observed that Mario and Perrin were not only successful jewelry businessmen, but also environmentally conscious and nature-loving individuals, leading him to deduce that they were likely to be easygoing.

Although they all pay attention to their appearance and aesthetics and love Chinese clothing, they are not the kind of people who would ignore other aspects for the sake of beauty.

It's better to keep things casual and natural. Sneakers, fleece-lined jeans, and underneath, a gold, fitted, and warm Chinese-style top.

It's just the right size to wear indoors after you take off your down jacket.

It's made of very soft velvet fabric with a delicate sheen that gleams luxuriously under the light.

A delicate Chinese knot button at the neckline is a matte gold in the same color family, showing exquisite attention to detail.

The sleeves are embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns, are slightly long, and have small slits at the cuffs, showcasing the feminine grace.

Su Maqi paired her outfit with delicate gold thread earrings. They swayed as she walked, perfectly complementing the gold trim on her cuffs and giving her a very lively look.

But once the coat is removed, it seems as if it was specially designed for the gold velvet top; the different shades of gold complement each other perfectly.

This time, Gu Tingyu's clothes were also prepared by Su Maiqi.

A dark blue down jacket ensured warmth outdoors, while underneath was a lightly quilted Chinese-style shirt in a subtle gray.

The buttons on the clothes were the same matte gold as those on Su Maqi's clothes, but the design was simpler and more elegant.

The same white sneakers and fleece-lined jeans.

As he was about to leave, Gu Tingyu looked at the two people in the mirror, and the phrase "golden couple" suddenly came to mind.

They look so well-matched. They both appear very energetic and vibrant, like two college students going on a date.

He felt inexplicably happy.

When I arrived at the meeting place, I saw that two families were already waiting. They were the owners and their wives of two other jewelers from Yuncheng.

Yuncheng is rich in minerals and has unique resources. Many of China's large traditional jewelers started their businesses in Yuncheng.

Even a brand like QUEEN, which rose to prominence in Beijing, actually has a branch in Yuncheng, responsible for the selection and initial processing of raw materials.

This is also why Mario chose to come to Yuncheng instead of Beijing when he wanted to enter the Chinese market.

Both owners are descendants of traditional jewelry families in Yuncheng. Although their brands have not kept up with the times and sales have plummeted, they are still very powerful.

One was surnamed Zhang, and the other was surnamed Li. Both were nearly forty years old and wore well-made coats, looking much more composed than Gu Tingyu.

Both ladies were dressed in cheongsams and coats, looking proper, elegant, and dignified, showing consideration for Chinese elements. It seems they had all done their homework.

To Gu Tingyu's surprise, just after they greeted the two bosses, they saw Shen Qingge and Shen Qingshuo, the siblings, walking over from a distance.
