Chapter: 3035
Gu Qiuyi didn’t realize that Charlie Wade had punished Su Zhifei mainly because Su Zhifei wanted to look into Xiao Churan’s BMW. She thought that Charlie Wade’s actions were because he cared deeply for her and wanted to protect her, almost as if she were his own treasure. This made her feel special and possessive, and she didn’t want Su Zhifei to interfere.
Gu Qiuyi had always been an independent woman who didn’t believe that women should be seen as accessories to men. But since reuniting with Charlie Wade, her thoughts had changed. Now, her biggest dream was to be by his side, to be cherished and protected by him.
Even though she sensed that Charlie Wade had been a bit harsh on Su Zhifei for her sake, she felt a sense of joy in it. She shyly said, “I’m glad I decided to leave the entertainment industry after this concert. I wouldn’t want to know how many people would be bothered by Charlie Wade’s brother in the future…”
Charlie Wade smiled and asked, “Will someone like Su Zhifei bother you when you leave the entertainment industry?”
Gu Qiuyi replied seriously, “After I leave, I plan to take over my dad’s business. I want to be a homebody when I’m not working, fully dedicated to my career.”
Then she added, “But if we can get married soon, I wouldn’t mind taking over the business later. If my hardworking dad retires, I can have two or three kids. I’m ready for that!”
“Your father is in great health now, and I think it won’t matter if he works for another ten years!” Gu Qiuyi said cheerfully.
Charlie Wade felt a bit shy when Gu Qiuyi mentioned wanting to have two or three children, so he quickly changed the topic. “By the way, when will Uncle Gu and Aunt Lin arrive tomorrow?”
“They should be here around eleven o’clock,” Gu Qiuyi replied.
“Okay,” Charlie said. “I’ll pick you up at the hotel at nine, and then we can go to the airport together.”
Gu Qiuyi’s face lit up with excitement. “Great! I’ll be waiting for you at the hotel!”
Charlie ended the call with Gu Qiuyi and walked back to the villa. Inside, his wife, Xiao Churan, was chatting with her parents on the sofa.
As soon as she saw him, she asked, “Honey, tomorrow is your birthday! I just talked to my parents. I’m planning to come back early tomorrow afternoon to cook a big meal at home. We’ll celebrate your birthday as a family of four. How does that sound?”
Charlie smiled and replied, “That’s fine, but we don’t need to make a big fuss.”
Xiao Churan insisted, “No way! This is your first birthday in our new house. It should be special!”
Charlie’s mother-in-law, Ma Lan, quickly added, “Yes, good son-in-law, you are the backbone of our family. We must celebrate your birthday in a grand way!”
Xiao Changkun, Charlie’s father-in-law, looked a bit embarrassed and said, “Charlie, you and Chu Ran have been married for four years. In all that time, your mother and I have only celebrated your birthday once. I feel so ashamed!”
“That’s right!” Ma Lan chimed in eagerly.
“I didn’t celebrate your birthday before, so this time I wanted to make it special. Mom suggested going out to eat, and I thought about the best restaurant in Jinling. But then I realized that celebrating at home feels more meaningful. I believe birthdays are best spent in the comfort of home. So tomorrow, the three of us will host a birthday banquet for you. We promise to make it a warm and unforgettable celebration!”
