Chapter 271: Su Qinghe is Jealous

“Hm?”

Hearing Gu Yifan speak, He Meng paused. She turned to look at him, her tone not one of annoyance, but of utmost respect. “President Gu, did you have any other instructions for me?”

“I have to leave a bit early for something. Could you let President Wang know that everyone’s been working hard and putting in overtime for the Madou app launch? Tell him to request an entertainment budget from you so the company can have a dinner party tonight. It’s time to properly reward the team.”

Gu Yifan pondered for a moment, then looked up at her and spoke.

The Head of Finance, He Meng, was taken aback for a second but quickly understood.

She nodded hastily. “Of course, President Gu. I’ll take care of it right away!”

After that, she added, “Is there anything else?”

“Nope, that’s all.”

“I’ll just finish my tea, and then I’ll be leaving too.”

Gu Yifan waved a hand, his tone casual.

He Meng nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

After finishing his tea in the office, Gu Yifan refined some of the details of the company’s newly launched Madou app.

He glanced at the time on his phone, saw that it was already 3:30 in the afternoon, and immediately packed up his things before driving away from Yihe Technology.

…

By the time Gu Yifan drove back to Jinling University, thirty minutes had passed.

「5:30 PM.」

Gu Yifan appeared at the entrance of the amusement park, holding Su Qinghe’s hand.

Today, Su Qinghe had clearly taken great care in dressing up.

She was wearing a light yellow blouse, its hem tucked into a white denim skirt. Paired with white sneakers, she looked youthful and vibrant, with a touch of sweet innocence.

Her beautiful, jet-black, shoulder-length hair swayed gently whenever she turned her head, and her clear, bright eyes seemed to sparkle with a galaxy of stars.

A faint blush colored Su Qinghe’s cheeks, giving her a rosy, healthy glow.

“What are you looking at?”

A little embarrassed by Gu Yifan’s constant staring, Su Qinghe pouted playfully and asked.

“I’m looking at my Su Hanhan!”

Gu Yifan said with a smile.

Then he pinched Su Qinghe’s cheek and asked, “Were you bored at home by yourself this afternoon?”

“It was fine, not too boring. Your work is more important. After I finished tidying up the house, I didn’t have anything else to do, so I just read a book.”

Su Qinghe shook her head and said.

When she got hungry at noon, she made a simple meal and ate while reading. Later, she used her phone to check the news about the Madou app’s launch. By the time she was done, Gu Yifan had returned.

“Mhm.”

Gu Yifan looked at Su Qinghe and nodded, not saying anything more.

‘That’s just how Su Qinghe is. Gentle and quiet. As long as she has a book, she’s fine on her own.’

‘Still, Gu Yifan didn’t want Su Qinghe to be so lonely at home all by herself.’

Since it was a bit late in the day, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe didn’t bother waiting in line for rides like the roller coaster.

However, as they passed a cotton candy stand, Su Qinghe’s gaze lingered for a moment before she quickly looked away.

But this small gesture didn’t escape Gu Yifan’s notice. He smiled slightly. “Su Hanhan, do you want some cotton candy?”

“Ah?”

Su Qinghe was taken aback for a moment, but seeing the smile on Gu Yifan’s face, she eventually gave a small nod.

“Alright!”

Gu Yifan nodded, then turned and walked toward the stand. Pointing at the cotton candy, he asked, “Hello, sir, how much for one of these?”

“These are 10 yuan each!”

The vendor looked up at Su Qinghe and Gu Yifan and said.

Cotton candy was a must-have snack for almost every child at the amusement park.

Even young adults visiting the park would often buy some to carry around.

“We’ll take one.”

Gu Yifan said after a glance at Su Qinghe.

“You got it!”

The vendor nodded and made a fresh one for them.

After paying, Su Qinghe held the cotton candy and started to walk around, eating as she went.

Gu Yifan held her hand, stealing glances at her face from time to time.

‘For him, time always seemed to pass exceptionally quickly whenever he was with Su Qinghe.’

“Su Hanhan, let’s go on the Ferris wheel!”

Gu Yifan said, looking at the tall Ferris wheel in the distance before turning to Su Qinghe.

“The Ferris wheel…?”

Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up slightly.

‘She had always thought that riding a Ferris wheel was a very romantic thing to do, but she’d never had the chance.’

“C-Can we?”

She turned to Gu Yifan and asked tentatively.

“Of course we can!”

Gu Yifan reached out, ruffled her hair with a doting look, and said, “You silly little goose, come on, I’ll take you on the Ferris wheel right now!”

“Mhm~”

Su Qinghe nodded obediently.

And so, with Su Qinghe holding the cotton candy in her right hand and Gu Yifan holding her left, they walked toward the Ferris wheel.

Because they were both extraordinarily good-looking, they attracted the gazes of countless passersby.

It couldn’t be helped!

This was an era where good looks were everything.

Su Qinghe’s delicate, pretty face was flushed red with shyness the entire way.

Gu Yifan, on the other hand, was different.

He remained expressionless, letting people stare as if it had nothing to do with him.

So thick-skinned!

Soon, the two of them arrived at the Ferris wheel.

After Gu Yifan got their tickets checked, he pulled Su Qinghe over to the side to start queuing.

Once this ride cycle finished, it would be their turn.

The two of them waited quietly in line.

‘Actually, the best time to ride a Ferris wheel is at night when the weather is good.’

‘But that wasn’t an option right now, so they had to make do.’

There were several other girls waiting in line for the Ferris wheel next to them.

“Wow~!”

“Girls, look! Over there, over there!”

“Look quick, that guy is so hot!”

“Yeah, seriously! I can’t believe we’d run into such a handsome guy here. He’s way better looking than all those losers at our school!”

“For real. All the guys at our school look like a bunch of rejects. It makes me lose my appetite just looking at them!”

“Hey, I wonder if that hottie has abs?”

“If he does, his girlfriend must be so happy, right?”

“Yeah, if only he were my boyfriend!”

…

The girls whispered among themselves.

They were all blown away by Gu Yifan’s heaven-defying good looks!

If it weren’t for Su Qinghe standing right next to him, they probably would have rushed over to ask for his contact information.

As for Su Qinghe’s looks, they naturally chose to ignore them.

How could these “little fairies” ever admit another girl was prettier than them!

In the heart of every “little fairy,” she is probably the most beautiful person in the world!

It couldn’t be helped!

That’s just how inexplicably confident they are!

Su Qinghe also heard the girls’ discussion. She secretly stole a glance at Gu Yifan and thought to herself:

‘This “bad boy” is so popular with girls no matter where he goes…’
