It wasn't until she was in the taxi on her way home that Su Maiqi had time to browse information outside of work.

First, I looked for the "Entrepreneurial Trio" group chat and was shocked to find that the group name had been changed to "Get Rich Quick Trio," which was clearly Lin Manlin's doing.

Su Maiqi couldn't help but smile. It seemed that today's sales figures were quite good. Her sister's entrepreneurial plan had finally achieved initial success.

Opening the group messages revealed a row of order screenshots; there were also bustling scenes of work in the "family workshop".

A scene of prosperity and flourishing.

It really does create an atmosphere of "potentially getting rich overnight".

Su Maiqi invited several "Gods of Wealth" to the group chat, and Su Mailou immediately sent out large red envelopes.

Three people were playing a game called "Best Luck Relay," where whoever had the best luck would then send out a red envelope. As a result, Su Maiqi had the best luck almost every time.

A considerable amount of money was distributed in a short time, but of course, most of it eventually ended up back in his own pocket.

The process was very enjoyable and emotionally rewarding. Sending red envelopes to my sister and Manlin was something that made me happy.

Then I saw Lin Manlin teasing me in the group chat: "MaiMai, you're not being nice today. You didn't even come to see us after get off work or say hello. Is your husband that strict?"

Su Maiqi posted a big "speechless" emoji, along with "poor little thing".

"I just got off work, I'm still on my way. But I'm really not going to go today, I'm exhausted after this day."

"Why are you up so late? Your capitalist husband is so heartless."

Su Maiqi rolled her eyes inwardly. It seemed that they were so busy making money today that they hadn't even seen the trending topic.

She replied, "Miss Y helped me a lot today. Don't be envious, don't be curious. I'm going home to sleep now."

As they were talking, the taxi arrived downstairs in the residential area. Su Maiqi pulled her down jacket tighter, hunched her shoulders, and walked towards the villa.

When I entered the room, I saw that the lights were still on upstairs, so it seemed that Gu Tingyu hadn't gone to sleep yet.

She walked into the room, climbed the stairs to the second floor, and just as she entered the bedroom, she saw Gu Tingyu come out of his private study, holding a cup and handing it to her: "I made ginger and jujube tea. It's cold, have some before you go wash up."

Su Maiqi instinctively wanted to complain, "Drinking water at night will make your face puffy."

But as soon as I opened my mouth, I felt that my lips and throat were dry; the room was warm, but the chill that had just entered my throat from outside had not completely dissipated.

My cool fingers felt the warmth of the ginger and jujube tea; I brought the cup to my lips and smelled a spicy yet sweet aroma.

I gulped down a few mouthfuls, and the first thing I felt was the spiciness of the ginger. My throat felt warm, as if a warm current was flowing from my throat to my stomach.

Then, the sweetness of the red dates slowly emerged, and the sweet aroma, like a lingering aftertaste, filled the entire mouth.

My body felt warm inside, a warm current flowing through my body, and the chill I had just felt disappeared. I felt warm and comfortable from the inside out.

Su Maiqi looked at Gu Tingyu and said sincerely, "Thank you."

"You've had a long day, go wash up and get some rest." Gu Tingyu's voice was now gentle.

Su Maiqi glanced at him and actually saw a hint of gratitude in Gu Tingyu's eyes.

Capitalists are indeed powerful.

You turned the tide and saved his company from disaster. As a CEO, he even personally brewed ginger and jujube tea for you, using a gentle voice he had never used before.

It seems that what I did today was really valuable to him, and my employee rating should be pretty good.

Su Maiqi smiled brightly, said thank you, and then floated into the restroom.

There's a sense of pride in me; I'm a competent "employee," and I haven't taken all that money from the capitalists for nothing. It's something to be proud of.

She not only played the role of the "perfect wife," but was also impeccable in her professionalism.

Su Maiqi wished she could give herself a hundred million likes, or send out a banner of praise.

What a fulfilling day!

With this wonderful feeling, she hummed a little tune, took a shower, and felt all the fatigue of the day swept away.

My energy has been fully restored.

After drying her hair and putting on her pajamas, she came out of the bathroom and saw that Gu Tingyu was already lying in bed, asleep with his eyes closed.

The main light in the room was turned off, but a small ambient light was left on.

Su Maiqi felt a little strange. In the past, Gu Tingyu would usually wait until she fell asleep before coming over to sleep.

On other occasions, they were usually drunk, and the two of them would first have a fierce battle, and then fall asleep together when they were exhausted.

Today, I feel like there's a man waiting for me to go to bed with him.

This wasn't a feeling Su Maiqi was familiar with. She suddenly felt a little awkward and became uneasy.

Take a deep breath to calm yourself down, pretend nothing's wrong, walk to your pillow, take off your shoes, and lie down in your bed.

Gu Tingyu was carrying her with his back to her. Su Maiqi didn't know if he was asleep or not, but his breathing was calm.

Su Maiqi lay flat on the bed, but she no longer felt at ease as usual. She tried to close her eyes and meditate, but she couldn't get into a meditative state.

She twisted her body, turned around, and faced Gu Tingyu's back. It was as if there was a wall blocking her way, making it difficult to even breathe.

She had no choice but to turn over again, her back to Gu Tingyu; it felt a little better than before, the oppressive feeling was gone; she tried to hypnotize herself to fall asleep as soon as possible.

But he just couldn't ignore the person behind him, and he couldn't relax at all.

Actually, Gu Tingyu wasn't asleep either. He couldn't explain why, but he could have waited until Su Maiqi fell asleep before going to bed himself.

That way he was more comfortable and could fall asleep more easily, and he did that most of the time.

But today, when Su Maiqi went to take a shower, he suddenly wanted to try sleeping with her in this bed. He hesitated for a moment, then lay down on the bed first.

He wanted to flip through a book or check his phone, but that would feel like he was deliberately waiting for Su Maiqi to fall asleep together, which would make him feel awkward and uncomfortable.

So he simply lay down and closed his eyes to rest.

But as soon as Su Maqi climbed into bed, he sensed her unease and restlessness. She tossed and turned, unable to calm down or fall asleep.

He felt a sense of frustration and defeat rising within him, and he became very irritable; he struggled to control himself and managed to stay still.

He regretted lying down on the bed so early, making it impossible for either of them to sleep; he wanted to get up immediately and go back to the study; but he couldn't move at all.

Aside from pretending to be asleep, he really didn't know how to deal with this awkward situation.
