Chapter 61: What Does It Mean When You Ask Me About My Driver’s License?
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Su Mu like a cannonball, headbutting into his chest. He instinctively stretched out his arms to embrace him, just managing to grip Su Mu’s slender waist.
With Su Mu pressed against his chest, through the thin fabric of his shirt, Chu Hanting seemed to feel a dampness.
He couldn’t help but tighten his hold, pulling him in closer.
From his embrace came Su Mu’s muffled voice: “Hanting, please don’t leave me, okay? You’re all I have.”
Fearing that Chu Hanting might refuse, before he could respond, Su Mu continued, “You don’t have to answer me right now, just give me a little time.”
I will make you fall in love with me again, Su Mu thought to himself, but he didn’t say it out loud.
Chu Hanting’s deep voice softly replied, “Okay.”
Whether it was the heat from the sun or the warmth of Chu Hanting’s chest, Su Mu’s body, which had been cold and pained from memories, gradually warmed up, his cells revitalizing.
He felt alive again.
Living is wonderful, and being able to see you again is truly wonderful.
On the other side,
The Su family had left long before Su Mu started playing the piano, not even wanting to look at this adopted son, a white-eyed wolf.
After regrouping with Su Father and Su Mother, Su Ning didn’t dare to say a word.
He was unsure if the situation had gone awry, whether Su Father would vent his anger on him.
Sure enough, Su Father shot him a glance and scolded, “Useless thing.”
Su Ning didn’t dare to retort, only moving a bit closer to Su Mother.
Having been in the Su family for some time, he felt that Su Mother treated him better than the unpredictable Su Father, especially during critical moments when she could shield him from Su Father’s wrath.
The Su family left with dark expressions, like defeated soldiers returning home.
Meanwhile, on Su Mu’s side, noticing the change in mood, Chu Hanting didn’t mention leaving but instead took him out for lunch.
This time, he chose not to give Su Mu a chance to decide, picking the restaurant himself.
He only asked whether Su Mu preferred Chinese or Western food.
Su Mu still had a greater fondness for the traditional dishes passed down from ancestors, so Chu Hanting chose a five-star Chinese restaurant.
In the car, Su Mu glanced at Yang Zhu, who was still driving, and couldn’t help but ask, “How’s your driver’s license? Is it okay?”
Yang Zhu??? You asking me if I’m okay is one thing, but asking about my driver’s license, what does that mean?
Fortunately, Su Mu explained the reason for his question, and Yang Zhu immediately replied, “It’s fine, really good, just that half the points were deducted.”
He said it nonchalantly.
Su Mu was a bit confused; how is that fine?
Chu Hanting explained from the side, “Assistant Yang has done this kind of thing many times; you don’t need to worry about it.”
Upon hearing the boss’s explanation, Yang Zhu realized that this kid was actually worried about him getting his license revoked.
As a versatile assistant skilled in twenty-four areas, driving fast for the company was common, and he didn’t need to worry; the Chu family would naturally have ways to help him resolve it.
Otherwise, he would have been revoked long ago.
Su Mu seemed to understand and didn’t ask further.
He leaned back, relaxing after a morning of turmoil, feeling overwhelmed with both big and small matters.
It was either thrilling or frightening.
In short, he was very tired.
The temperature in the car was adjusted to a comfortable level, making the fatigued Su Mu feel a bit drowsy.
Chu Hanting watched as Su Mu’s head gradually drooped, from initially trying to stay awake to finally leaning against him and falling asleep.
At the moment Su Mu’s body tilted, he was supposed to lean towards the car window. However, Chu Hanting cleverly wrapped his arm around Su Mu’s waist and pulled him in, perfectly timing it so that Su Mu fell towards him.
He shifted slightly closer to Su Mu, reducing the distance between them just enough for Su Mu’s fluffy head to rest on his broad shoulder.
Yang Zhu, who was driving in the front, happened to turn around to ask something and caught a glimpse of his boss wearing a strange smile in the rearview mirror, a smile that seemed to indicate he had just pulled off a mischievous prank.
Wow, is this really the General Chu I know?
Looking again at Su Mu resting on Chu Hanting’s shoulder, Yang Zhu instinctively categorized Su Mu as a little white rabbit.
This poor college student, I hope he doesn’t end up being inexplicably taken away by the big bad wolf that is the boss!
But what Assistant Yang didn’t know was that if Chu Hanting truly wanted to take Su Mu away, Su Mu would be overjoyed, and he wouldn’t have to put in so much effort to win him over.
However, seeing Su Mu asleep and the boss looking pleased, the understanding Yang Zhu deliberately slowed down the car and drove more smoothly to avoid waking Su Mu.
Chu Hanting was very satisfied with Assistant Yang’s perceptiveness and decided to give him a raise.
He kept his arm around Su Mu, ensuring he wouldn’t sway with the car’s movements, holding him steadily.
Soon, the only sound left in the car was Su Mu’s even breathing as he slept.
Su Mu’s exhalation brushed against Chu Hanting’s neck, warm and lingering, making him feel a ticklish urge to scratch.
But even when the car stopped at the restaurant, Chu Hanting maintained his position, not moving to avoid disturbing Su Mu.
Once the car was parked, the still-sleeping Su Mu seemed to sense the change in environment, showing signs of waking up.
Yet he remained asleep, unconsciously nuzzling closer, as if wanting to get nearer to his pillow, his body shifting forward.
Chu Hanting’s breath caught, and he swallowed hard, feeling a bit parched.
Just as he got out of the car, Yang Zhu, who was opening the door for the two in the backseat, happened to witness this scene.
He thought to himself that his boss had too many surprises today.
Who said General Chu was unapproachable and didn’t understand love? Who was he holding? It couldn’t just be a friend, right?
Add a gender to that, and it would be more accurate!
What left Assistant Yang even more dumbfounded was that the boss didn’t wake the little white rabbit but instead carried the sleeping person out of the car in a princess carry.
In that moment, Assistant Yang confirmed that this was indeed his boss’s future spouse.
The Chinese restaurant was a top-tier establishment that truly operated on a reservation-only basis. Of course, this rule was automatically invalid for General Chu.
To reach the private room on the second floor, one had to pass through the lobby on the first floor.
Those who could afford to come here were often from prestigious families, and some recognized Chu Hanting.
When they saw General Chu seemingly carrying someone, curiosity and intrigue filled the air.
Once Chu Hanting passed by, the lobby erupted in chatter.
“Isn’t that General Chu? I can’t be mistaken, right?”
“If our eyes aren’t both blind at the same time.”
The implication of this comment confirmed that the person who just walked by was indeed the president of the Chu Group.
“Weren’t we told he was indifferent to women? Pure and ascetic?”
“Yeah, but no one said he was indifferent to men, right?”
The others fell silent.
“This could be General Chu’s first suspected lover, right? If that’s true, the capital is about to change.”
As for whether this person was more than just a lover, they hadn’t considered that, because it seemed impossible.
