It didn’t take long for Gu Yu Cheng to drive out of the neighbourhood and find a 24-hour convenience store on the side of the road.

When he arrived at the convenience store, he picked up a packet of lime flavoured potato chips.

This was Su Rui’s favourite flavour.

Quoting what she said, ‘the lime flavour was more refreshing and it feels healthier.’

Gu Yu Cheng laughed at Su Rui’s statement and did not deny that. But he still took the smallest bag.

Behind the cashier’s desk, a woman was putting on her make-up.

Noticing that someone was coming over to pay, she put away the mascara in her hand.

The cashier first looked at the chips Gu Yu Cheng handed over and was stunned.

“Is that all?” The woman asked as she looked up.

The moment she saw Gu Yu Cheng, her eyes lit up.

So handsome!

Even though it is late at night, their small 24-hour convenience store has good business at night.

There were people buying cigarettes, alcohols, snacks and even c*ndoms.

But this handsome guy in front of her went out in the middle of the night just to buy a pack of chips in his pajamas?

Or are the beverages out of date and there is a new “ruse” these days that she wasn’t aware of?

The woman subconsciously glanced towards Gu Yu Cheng’s car in front of the door with its headlights on.

Although she couldn’t see it clearly in the dark, it looked pretty expensive.

“Would you only want one packet of potato chips, handsome man? Don’t you want to buy anything else?” The woman asked suggestively as she looked at Gu Yu Cheng and pointed to something on the shelf next to the cashier’s counter.

Looking in the direction of the woman’s finger, Gu Yu Cheng’s gaze hitched.

“My wife is pregnant.” Gu Yu Cheng said.

So there was no need for this now.

“How much is it?” Gu Yu Cheng asked again. A tinge of coldness could be heard in his voice.

The woman evidently did not expect such a response. She stared blankly for quite some time before she said with an embarrassed expression, “Uh, $5.50.”

Gu Yu Cheng took out his mobile phone and paid for it before driving away.

It was only after Gu Yu Cheng already left for a long time that the cashier covered her face with a crestfallen expression. Then, she scrolled through her Moments[1] and couldn’t help but share it in her status.

[There was a super handsome and seemingly rich guy who came to buy potato chips for his pregnant wife in the middle of the night! My god, if I were to meet such a guy, this old hag would marry him!]

It didn’t take long for the cashier’s status to be followed by a new reply.

Shorf: Your focus is that he is rich, right?

Replying to shorf: No, it’s handsome!

The woman was afraid her friend wouldn’t believe her, so she simply took a screenshot of the shop’s surveillance and sent a private message to her.

Shorf: He looks familiar. Do you have a picture of his front face?

Wei Wei Wei: Hold on, I’ll look for it.

Wei Wei Wei: [picture]

Shorf: What the heck!

Wei Wei Wei: How is it? Isn’t he super handsome?

Shorf: The issue is not handsome, alright?

Shorf: Even if you live under the rock, sister, at least read the news once in a while.

Shorf: Do you know who this guy is?

……

Gu Yu Cheng wasn’t aware of the matter of the cashier’s Moments. When he returned home, Liu Yue already heated up the sweet soup. Because she was quite worried about Gu Yu Cheng, she simply waited for him to return.

“Did you get it?”

“En.” Gu Yu Cheng responded. He said, “Go to bed, Mum. I will keep an eye on Rui Rui.”

“Alright. I’ve prepared the sweet soup and put it on the table over there. Bring it up and let Rui Rui drink the sweet soup first.”

“En, alright. I understand.”

“Also, Yu Cheng…” Mother Su looked at Gu Yu Cheng. Originally, she wanted to tell Gu Yu Cheng to return to his room to sleep after Su Rui finished eating.

It was only after Gu Yu Cheng had gone out that Mother Su suddenly realized.

If they hadn’t secretly slept together again, how would Gu Yu Cheng have known that Rui Rui wanted to eat potato chips in the middle of the night?

“Yes, Mum?”

“You and Rui Rui should go to bed as soon as you are done. Don’t stay up too late.” Mother Su finally said after a moment of hesitation.

Forget it. Forget it. It’s useless to talk about such things.

……

When Gu Yu Cheng returned to the room, Su Rui was already fast asleep.

But after smelling the aroma of sweet soup, the person quickly opened her eyes again.

The moment Su Rui saw the packet of potato chips, her eyes instantly widened.

“You really went to buy potato chips!”

“En. Just one packet. The doctor said you can’t eat too much.”

“Do you want to eat them? Or do you want to eat it after waking up later?” Gu Yu Cheng asked as he walked to the bedside and leaned down.

“Eat! Eat now!”

……

The moment she ate the potato chips, Su Rui’s eyes squinted happily.

“Oh, I don’t want it anymore.” Although it was really delicious, Su Rui held herself back after eating a few more pieces.

“You don’t want to eat it anymore?”

“I do.” Su Rui said very honestly.

But she fed a piece directly into Gu Yu Cheng’s mouth.

“You eat it. Don’t waste it.”

Actually, it had nothing to do with waste. It was mainly Su Rui who also felt quite satisfied watching Gu Yu Cheng eat.

Staring at the potato chips handed over by the woman, Gu Yu Cheng smiled and ate the potato chips.

After that, one person fed the other until the packet of potato chips was finished. Then, Gu Yu Cheng took the bag from Su Rui’s hand and wiped her hands.

“Do you want to go to the toilet?”

“En.”

……

After clearing up, Gu Yu Cheng raised an eyebrow when he noticed that the woman on the bed was still awake and was currently staring at him.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Oh, I was thinking…”

“If we give birth to a daughter, it might be good if she looks like you.” Don’t they say that daughters tend to look like their fathers?
