She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Tingyu and Su Maiqi have been living in the romantic city of Paris for half a year.

From the initial adjustment period to the current ease of operation, the Paris branch's structure is now very well-established.

The team has grown from a dozen people to more than forty people, covering key departments such as design, marketing, sales, and finance.

Su Maiqi sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in her office, holding a cup of fragrant coffee in her hand, gazing at the bustling Champs-Élysées outside the window.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the blinds, casting dappled shadows on her face.

For the past six months, she has devoted almost all her energy to the preparation of the new project.

The "Fusion of Light" series, the first product of the Paris company, blends the understated elegance of the East with the bold flamboyance of the West, and has caused a strong reaction in the high-end European market since its launch.

Currently, all preparations and procedures have been arranged and are progressing steadily.

Based on the original agreement with Mario and the current situation, Sumaiqi could have returned to China for a few months.

The daily operations in Paris can be effectively managed remotely online.

There was a gentle knock on the office door, and Gu Tingyu pushed it open and entered, holding a bouquet of white roses he had just bought from a florist.

“We’re off work,” he said, walking over to Sumaiqi and handing her the bouquet. “We’re going to the hotel to pick up Mario and the others for dinner.”

Su Maiqi accepted the bouquet, took a deep sniff of the fragrance, and a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes:

"These past six months have gone by so fast, it feels like a dream."

In the evening, Su Maiqi and Gu Tingyu arrived at the George V Hotel where Mario and his wife were staying.

The Spanish couple traveled all the way from Madrid, partly to celebrate the milestone success of the Paris company project, and partly to visit Chengze Xiao and the young couple they considered friends.

After working together for so long, they have become more than just business partners; they recognize each other as like-minded friends.

From initial business negotiations to current in-depth cooperation, the friendship among the four has far surpassed a simple business relationship.

They share their lives, discuss cultural differences, and enjoy delicious food, discuss art, and appreciate the beauty of life together outside of work.

Dinner was at a Michelin-starred restaurant on the banks of the Seine, where the Eiffel Tower could be seen shining brightly in the night through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

During the meeting, Mario learned in detail about the company's operations and expressed satisfaction with the team's professionalism and market response.

Pei Rong, on the other hand, was more concerned about Su Maiqi's personal life, especially Xiao Chengze's growth.

"Can the little guy walk yet?" Pei Rong's eyes were full of anticipation. "I brought him lots of gifts; I hope he'll like them."

Su Maiqi nodded with a smile:

"He just learned to walk recently, and he's at his most active stage right now. He wants to touch and explore everything."

“That’s just how kids are,” Pei-Rong sighed. “My children are all grown up now; my youngest daughter is already sixteen. Seeing babies now always makes me miss how they were when they were little.”

Her eyes sparkled with maternal tenderness:

"Babies are truly the most healing beings in the world; their every smile can instantly melt your heart."

The next day was the weekend, and the four of them decided to take Xiao Chengze to visit the Botanical Garden in Paris.

In early autumn, the temperature is cool and pleasant.

Little Chengze sat in his stroller, looking around curiously, occasionally making babbling sounds, and excitedly pointing with his little hand at the fluttering butterflies and blooming flowers.

Pei-Rong stayed by Xiao Cheng-Ze's side almost every step of the way, sometimes playing with him, sometimes taking pictures of him, completely immersed in the joy of being with the child.

"Look, Chengze, this is a rose," Pei Rong said gently, squatting beside the stroller and pointing to a red rose. "It smells wonderful and is beautiful, isn't it?"

Little Chengze reached out his little hand to touch the flower, making excited noises. His innocent curiosity made the adults present smile.

After lunch, they went to the Paris Aquarium.

The mysterious marine world in the aquarium was a wonderful new world for Xiao Chengze.

When he saw the sharks and colorful tropical fish swimming in the huge glass tank, his eyes widened and his mouth gaped open in disbelief.

Gu Tingyu held Xiao Chengze in his arms in front of the sea turtle exhibit, patiently explaining to his son:

"These are sea turtles. They swim very, very slowly, but they can live for a very, very long time."

Although Xiao Chengze couldn't fully understand his father's words, he listened attentively, nodding his head from time to time, as if he were really studying hard.

Pei-Jung watched this heartwarming interaction between father and son, her eyes filled with envy and affection.

"Gu Tingyu is such a good father; Xiao Chengze is so lucky."

Su Maiqi stood beside them, watching her husband and son being so close, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

This scene represents her most cherished moment of happiness.

In the interactive area of ​​the aquarium, Xiao Chengze touched the soft tentacles of a starfish for the first time.

At first he was a little scared and withdrew his little hand, but with the encouragement of the adults, he reached out again and gently touched the starfish.

The novel tactile sensation excited and intrigued him, and he kept giggling.

Pei Rong squatted down beside him, gently guiding him:

"Don't be afraid, starfish are very gentle, they won't hurt Xiao Chengze."

Perhaps it was Pei Rong's gentle tone and kind smile that made Xiao Chengze feel at ease, for he actually reached out and took Pei Rong's finger, calling out in his childish voice:

“Peirong’s mother.”

This innocent cry instantly struck Pei Rong's heart.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears. She carefully picked up Xiao Chengze and gently kissed his forehead.

"Oh, my little angel, you called me Mommy!"

Mrs. Pei Rong was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

She hugged Xiao Chengze tightly, as if she wanted to freeze this precious moment in her heart forever.

"I'm so touched," Pei Rong said, her voice choked with emotion, "He actually called me 'Mom'!"

Su Maiqi was deeply moved by this touching scene.

Pei Rong's affection for Xiao Chengze was so sincere and pure, and Xiao Chengze instinctively felt this kindness and care.

This emotional connection that transcends blood ties may be the most beautiful bond between people.

All afternoon, Xiao Chengze clung to Pei Rong, calling out "Pei Rong Mama" in his sweet, childish voice every now and then, which delighted Pei Rong each time.

Back at the hotel, Pei Rong took out the gifts she had brought from Spain from her suitcase—an exquisite music box and a set of handmade building blocks.

“I personally chose this music box,” Pei Rong said as she demonstrated. “The melody inside is ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,’ and I think Xiao Chengze will like it.”

When the music box started playing, Xiao Chengze was immediately drawn to it. He swayed his little body and clapped his hands to the beat, clearly liking the gift very much.

"Thank you, Pei Rong, you've gone to so much trouble," Su Maiqi said sincerely. "Chengze really likes it, and we're all very touched."

“It’s what I should do,” Pei Rong said, gently stroking Xiao Chengze’s hair. “He has given me so much joy, I just want to give back a little bit.”

The next morning, in the departure hall of Charles de Gaulle Airport, Pei Rong still had some reluctance in her eyes. She squatted down and hugged Xiao Chengze one last time: "Mom Pei Rong will come to Yuncheng to see you next time."

After waving goodbye to Mario and his wife, Su Maiqi, carrying Xiao Chengze, and Gu Tingyu, pushing their suitcases, headed towards their flight back home.
