Chapter 4 - Chapter 04: It's a Success

When Yue Fei returned home, Mother Yue was sitting in the living room watching TV. Seeing him come back, Mother Yue's eyes shifted to her phone as she typed a few words on it before turning her eyes back on Yue Fei. 

"Xiao Fei, come here, sit down," Mother Yue smiled and greeted him. 

Knowing what she wanted to know, Yue Fei did not keep it from her: "Young Master Gu has a good impression of me, so he said to see him again before he left." 

He was telling the truth. After meeting with Gu Wei's secretary to sign the agreement, the marriage between the two can become official. 

Mother Yue opened her eyes slightly: "Really? It's a success?" 

Father Yue, who had just come downstairs, heard this and immediately asked in a loud voice, "It's a success? You and Young Master Gu have decided on the marriage?" 

Yue Fei gestured with his hands, signaling the two to calm down: "We need to spend a bit more time together." 

Father Yue's voice was overjoyed: "I knew that our Xiao Fei looks so...so spirited, the Gu Family son will definitely fall in love with you at first sight." 

Yue Fei: "?" This self-confidence was a bit too overwhelming. 

"Mom, Dad, I'm a little tired, I'll go upstairs and rest first." Yue Fei pointed upstairs. 

Father Yue: "Sure, go to bed early, eat and rest well these days, then you will have a good spirit and a good day." 

Yue Fei: "...Understood."

According to Father Yue, in order to prepare for the blind date with the Gu Family, Yue Fei might have to ask to take this whole week off from school, so that he can spend time to stabilize the relationship with Young Master Gu. 

Yue Fei agreed without question, knowledge can be learned at any time, but holidays are indispensable. 

The next day, Yue Fei was still in his wonderland dream when his phone vibrated loudly. 

Yue Fei decided to ignore it. 

That caller was quite persistent and stubborn, so much so that the phone fell to the floor from the nightstand. 

A hand stretched out from the quilt and salvaged the phone from the floor. 

"Hello?" Yue Fei closed his eyes and answered the phone. 

"Hello, is it Mr. Yue Fei? I'm Mr. Gu's secretary. Regarding your marriage contract with Mr. Gu, do you want to have a face-to-face meeting or would you like to have the contract email to you first?" 

Yue Fei replied in a daze, "Okay." 

After saying so, he hung up. 

The secretary at the other end: "?" 

Soon, Yue Fei's phone started vibrating again. 

Yue Fei frowned: "Hello?" 

Secretary: "Mr. Yue, I sent the contract to your email. You can call me on this phone if you have any questions after finishing reading it. I will answer you at any time." 

Yue Fei: "Hmmm..." 

Hanging up, Yue Fei, who had not opened his eyes throughout this whole time, fell asleep again. 

At this moment, the secretary was following Gu Wei, who had watched the whole process and turned his head to look at him. 

Secretary: "Mr. Yue seems to be asleep. I will contact him later." 

Gu Wei stopped. 

The secretary felt his heart drop a beat: "I will go to his house to look for him." 

Gu Wei: "No need, just wait for him to get back to you." 

Secretary: "Okay." 

While at the Yue Residence, Yue Fei struggled getting out of bed as he reluctantly left his bed. 

Yesterday, Yue Fei spent all night thinking over the marriage with the Gu Family until late. He missed his usual scheduled bedtime and got up late in the morning. 

A new day's health regimen starts with an early failure. 

Just as his hand touched the bedroom doorknob, a piece of memory about answering the phone this morning flashed through his mind. 

It looked like he had forgotten something. 

He lifted up the quilt to look for his cell phone, went into the call log, Yue Fei rubbed his messy hair, and directly called the number back. 

The other side quickly answered. 

"Mr. Yue?" 

"Ah, hello, is this Young Master Gu's secretary?" 

"Yes, my name is Tang Yue." 

"Uh, Secretary Tang, I apologize for my low blood sugar level in the morning, as I usually don't function well early in the morning." 

"It's all right, do you have any questions about the contract?" 

"I want to ask you out for a meeting. It's hard to say everything over the phone." 

"Sure, what time is convenient for you, depending on what is more suitable, I can also come to you." 

"It's better if you tell me a time and location, I will go to you, I am more free... no, I have a lot of free time." 

"?"

...

Tang Yue decided for them to meet in the afternoon. Yue Fei took a bath before going downstairs to prepare some food. 

The others in the family should have gone to work or school by now, only Mother Yue is alone in the garden watering the flowers.

"Morning." 

Seeing him walk downstairs, Mother Yue returned to the living room from the backyard and asked the housekeeper to bring him some food. 

"Get something in your stomach first, we will prepare lunch soon." 

After consuming the sweet porridge the housekeeper handed over, Yue Fei said, "I'm going out for a bit, and I won't be having lunch at home." 

Mother Yue: "Is that a date with the Gu Family kid?" 

Yue Fei: "Yeah...I think so." 

"Then you should go change to a different outfit, this one doesn't suit you," Mother Yue was excited. 

Yue Fei: "?" 

In response to Mother Yue's expectant gaze, Yue Fei said, "I'll be late if I get changed now." 

...

The consequence of putting on slippers to go out was that Yue Fei got stopped by the security when he stood at the entrance of Feng Mao building. 

"Your dress code is not appropriate and you are not allowed to enter." The security guard looked at Yue Fei with ruthless eyes. 

Yue Fei: "...Should I go in and buy a suitable set of clothes to put on?" 

Security: "You can't go in." 

Yue Fei: "..." He did try his luck. 

He looked back at the people passing by, and noticed that all the elites in suits and leather shoes and brightly dressed white-collar workers came into the building. His casual outfit was indeed out of place. 

There was no other way, it looked like he should call Secretary Tang to change the meeting location. 

Yue Fei turned around and was about to leave Feng Mao, but saw a group of people in the building approaching the door with a forceful momentum. 

Walking in front of these people is Gu Wei who Yue Fei met last night. 

"Third Young Master Gu!" 

Yue Fei did not read the atmosphere as he raised his hand to say hello. 

Gu Wei with an indifferent face suddenly stopped when he heard the sound, and the people behind him followed his gaze, which landed on the student-like Beta at the door. 

"Go on first," after saying these words, Gu Wei walked towards Yue Fei. 

The others left at his order very naturally. Only one young man holding a tablet stayed in place, with a trace of anxiety flashing across his face.
