President Gu Chases His Husband

President Gu Chases His Husband

After memorizing it, he felt somewhat embarrassed, yet also thought the words were straightforward and clear. If Lin Su liked it, he would gladly let Xia Mingxuan publish it.

Lin Su felt his head buzzing. His red lips parted slightly. "I..."

Reject him?

The moment those words surfaced, his chest ached terribly.

Gu Lin had naturally heard it too. Suppressing his anxiety, he slowly approached Lin Su. "I wrapped this bouquet myself. It's gotten a little messy."

Those words successfully diverted Lin Su's attention. Through his lenses, the roses looked gorgeously fresh, though unfortunately, some had wilted.

I used too much force just now. So many of the flowers got knocked bare...

Lin Su paused slightly, his gaze landing on the corner of Gu Lin's lips. His expression was complicated as he sighed softly. "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't."

Lin Su gave a soft hum, his gaze returning to the roses in Gu Lin's arms.

Every rose here was beautiful. He liked them very much, but he understood even more clearly what accepting them would mean for him.

Lin Su's heart trembled. The rejection lingering on his lips simply would not come out.

He had to protect Dream Home, and he...

Amid the silence, Gu Lin stuffed the flowers into Lin Su's arms. Lin Su froze, opening his mouth to ask.

"I like you, Lin Su."

He had finally spoken those straightforward words aloud.

"I know you have concerns, but please give me time to prove myself."

He knew Lin Su's concerns. No matter which side gave up the other, Lin Su would feel terrible.

There were so many children at Dream Home. If they were implicated because of him, Lin Su would likely never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Such a Lin Su was worthy of his affection—someone with loyalty and compassion in his heart.

Even if he was the one being abandoned, Gu Lin would still like him.

"No one can touch Dream Home."

Lin Su's pupils contracted slightly as he stared at Gu Lin, his eyes full of disbelief. "You..."

Gu Lin knows. If he knows...

He looked at Gu Lin with gentle eyes, his voice soft as silk and unhurried. "Su Su, can you tell me your answer?"

"Su Su?" Those two words were tender and intimate.

Lin Su only felt his cheeks burning. He hurriedly looked away, raised a fist to his lips, and coughed lightly. "You... you said it yourself. You need time to prove it... I..."

He was so nervous that his words became incoherent, barely managing to suppress the joy in his heart. "I-I'm going to sleep first!"

After saying that, he clutched the flowers and ran upstairs. Not until his bedroom door closed did the heart in Lin Su's chest begin to pound fiercely.

Leaning against the door, he gradually calmed down completely. Then, with light steps, he walked to the table and gently, slowly set the bouquet down to admire it.

Looking at the somewhat bare flowers, Lin Su finally remembered that he seemed to have hit Gu Lin. He remembered that kick—it seemed to have landed on...

It should be fine, right?

Once Lin Su was out of sight, Gu Lin braced himself against the sofa beside him, his steps trembling slightly.

Fortunately, the lights had been off then, and the kick had landed a little off-center. Otherwise, he would not have lasted this long.

Other than that line of poetry, Xia Mingxuan's proposal had been completely useless.

Still, he had to thank Xia Mingxuan. If not for him, he and Lin Su might have missed each other like this.

His dark eyes gazed toward the tightly shut bedroom door, tenderness filling them as the curve of his lips gradually rose.

The moment he turned away, the gentle expression vanished. He took out his phone, tapped it a few times, and successfully sent a message.

The original plan had been to gradually erode Gu Corporation. Now, he could not wait any longer. Gu Corporation had to fall, and the old man should pay the price for his ambition.

Early morning

Humming a tune, Lin Su entered the bathroom. While brushing his teeth, he occasionally let out a laugh. Then he caught sight of his lovestruck expression in the mirror. Wouldn't people laugh at him if he went out looking like this?

He hurriedly splashed water over his face, rubbing hard for a long while before finally returning his expression to normal.

His clothes were neat, his bow tie was straight, and his hair was not messy. He pushed up his glasses, took a deep breath, and only as he opened the door did he remember that Gu Lin's schedule had always differed from his. He probably would not see him at this hour, right?

He walked toward the downstairs dining room step by step, as though he were not walking down stairs, but stepping on his own heart.

"Morning." Hearing the sound, the person in the dining room stood and slowly turned around. His cool, aloof face bore a gentle expression, and a faint smile curled his lips.

It was actually pretty heartwarming, but it still felt like Gu Lin had been possessed.

That simple greeting made his heart race. His eyes behind the lenses narrowed slightly as he pretended to be calm. "Good morning, President Gu."

"Gu Lin." His faint voice carried a trace of displeasure.

Lin Su froze, then smiled. "Morning, Gu Lin." After saying that, his face grew a little hot. He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment and hurried into the dining room.

"That's more like it. Breakfast only gives you an appetite when two people eat it together." Auntie Liu carried over two cups of hot milk and set them before them.

Auntie Liu beamed. "From now on, the two of you can get up together and eat together. This life..."

Lin Su lowered his eyes, feeling his burning cheeks as he listened to the older woman. He was even less willing to look up.

"Silly old woman, I talk too much when I get old." With a smile, she removed her apron. "I'll be leaving first. Take your time eating."

The door closed, leaving only the two of them eating breakfast.

Even in silence, the atmosphere between them continued to rise, becoming increasingly ambiguous.

"Ride with me later." Gu Lin spoke, breaking the silence.

Lin Su lightly pursed his lips. After considering it for a moment, he slowly said, "It wouldn't be good if people from the company saw us. We should be more careful." After saying it, he felt that something was off.

It sounded like I'd accepted Gu Lin's confession. Isn't that indirectly admitting there's something between us?

"What I mean is..."

Gu Lin laughed softly, the sound low and pleasant. His gaze lingered on Lin Su, unwilling to leave, making Lin Su blush and his heart race.

"Don't worry. I'll stop two intersections before the company."

"No one will see us."
