Chapter 26 It’s okay to be naughty

The furniture inside the house is mainly made of mahogany, the decoration style is grand and majestic, the ceilings are high, and the area is wide, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Yu You followed Jiang Xunzhou and sat down on the sofa. The housekeeper brought the medicine box over and reminded Mr. Jiang to take his medicine.

Jiang Xunzhou stood up silently, took the blood pressure monitoring device strap from the butler, rolled up the old man's sleeve, and skillfully tied it around his arm.

The old man's arms were as thin and weak as a wrinkled dead tree, with a dull luster and some black spots.

The machine made a noise, and soon the measurement was complete. Jiang Xunzhou glanced at the data on the instrument and pursed his lips. "Your blood pressure is a bit high. Have you been taking your medicine on time recently?"

"I'm taking it. I take more medicine than I eat every day, every meal."

The old man sighed slowly, "When you were a child, you were in poor health and sent me here for treatment. Every morning back then, you helped measure my blood pressure and urged me to take my medicine."

The butler had been by the old man's side for many years, practically watching Jiang Xunzhou grow up. He smiled and said, "Young Master Xunzhou and Old Man have always gotten along very well. Back then, we didn't dare to urge you to take your medicine, and only Young Master Xunzhou had the courage to do so."

The old man swallowed a handful of pills and capsules, then asked the housekeeper to prepare a pot of passion fruit lemon tea for Yu You. He said happily, "Passion fruit grows abundantly in the mountains here. Mingyan always asks for it when she comes to visit. I guess you kids all like this sour and sweet juice drink."

Yu You smiled a little embarrassedly.

He really likes this sweet and sour taste.

Jiang Xunzhou mercilessly exposed their shortcomings: "You talk as if you don't drink secretly. Every time you ask someone to prepare it under the pretext that the children like it, and you don't allow them to tell the family doctor."

Old Master Jiang glared at him: "What do you mean by drinking secretly? I was just trying it out. I don't understand what's so good about something that's neither sour nor sweet!"

Jiang Xunzhou snorted lightly, without any mercy: "Then you must not drink it later. Blood pressure and blood sugar will not drop as you age."

"If you don't want to drink, then don't drink." The old man was even more unhappy. "You come back and don't say anything nice. Instead, you meddle in everything here."

The grandfather and grandson exchanged several words, and then the housekeeper came to the living room with a pot of passion fruit lemonade.

Passion fruit lemon tea uses small limes, which are golden amber in color. The sliced ​​green lemons float up and down, emitting a sour and sweet fresh scent in the air, which makes people salivate.

The old man looked at it several times and coughed heavily again.

The housekeeper was pouring passion fruit lemon tea for Yu You. Hearing this, he paused. Jiang Xunzhou snorted coldly beside him: "Don't mind him."

The old man asked Yu You: "Does Xun Zhou control you too much?"

Yu You held the cup, his eyes clear as water, and answered honestly: "He is very strict. He wants to check what I eat three times a day."

But living under her roof, with Aunt Liu preparing delicious meals every day according to Jiang Xunzhou's instructions, Yu You was reluctant to leave and obediently sent photos to Jiang Xunzhou for inspection every day.

The old man uttered a cry: "When he lived with me before, he was a little brat, and he controlled what I ate and took away all the snacks I hid."

Yu You said: "When I was video chatting with him, he also made sure I couldn't lie down and had to sit up."

The old man knocked his fist: "I played chess for only half an hour, and he told me not to sit still and to get up and walk around."

Yu You was excited: "He also controls how I dress! He always asks me to button my clothes!"

The old man nodded repeatedly: "I once accidentally forgot to put on more clothes and caught a cold in the cold wind. He scolded me for half an hour."

Yu You replied aggrievedly, "It's okay if he criticizes me, but the problem is that he has such double standards. He always buttons his shirt really low, but he insists on dictating how I dress!"

The old man's expression suddenly became meaningful: "Oh..."

Jiang Xunzhou's ears turned slightly red, and he lectured Yu You in a low voice: "Why are you talking so much? Drink your passion fruit juice."

He's telling the truth! Why can't he say it?

But Yu You didn't dare to protest. He lowered his head obediently and drank the passion fruit juice in small sips. The few strands of hair on his head moved slightly.

The old man said to Jiang Xunzhou: "Look, you bully the elderly and the young, don't you feel guilty at all?"

Jiang Xunzhou raised his eyelids: "Guilt? What is that?"

The old man was not angry. He laughed twice and asked the butler to bring a wooden tray. "Today is the first time I meet Xiao Yu. I prepared a simple gift."

The vertical object on the wooden tray was covered with a dust cloth, making it impossible to see what was underneath.

Yu Yousheng felt at a loss and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xunzhou.

Jiang Xunzhou raised his chin slightly and said lazily, "Open it and take a look. If you don't like it, ask Grandpa to exchange it for another one."

The old man laughed: "You kid..."

Yu You opened the thin velvet covering it. The cat's pupils widened in shock and it let out a soft "wow".

It is a persimmon potted landscape with persimmon leaves carved from red beeswax and green jadeite, curved branches made of coral, and embellished with gold and silver threads. The cloisonné enamel flowerpot with gemstones embedded at the bottom has a unique shape and sparkles, and it is obviously worth a lot of money at first glance.

Next to the wax persimmon tree, there is a document.

When Yu You saw the words "equity transfer" on it, he couldn't help feeling dizzy and his palms were sweating with nervousness.

Really... gave it?

"Xun Zhou said you like acting, and the persimmon tree symbolizes great success, so I thought it would be a perfect gift for you."

The old man said gently, "Xunzhou has always been a man of his own ideas. Since he's willing to bring you to see me, it means it's set in stone and won't change in this lifetime. So, we can give you this agreement. I'm old, and my health is getting worse day by day. I'm half in the coffin. I never thought I'd actually wait for Xunzhou to bring people back to see me. I'm happy for him, and for you too. Consider this agreement my gift to bless you."

Yu You's fingertips suddenly curled up, his eyes turned red, and for a moment he didn't dare to look directly into the old man's concerned eyes, and lowered his head almost in embarrassment.

Jiang Xunzhou gently held Yu You's fingers, which were large and warm, but with a firm strength.

The old man changed the subject and said with a smile, "But don't be too happy. This agreement is conditional and will only take effect after you get engaged. If you don't get married after two years, this agreement will be revoked. If you've made up your mind, I'll notify the lawyer to come and serve as a witness."

Yu You suddenly understood why Jiang Xunzhou had also mentioned a two-year term when signing the contract.

It turned out that he had already predicted the request that the old man would make.

"I understand." Jiang Xunzhou looked at the old man and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

When I came out, the weather outside was just right. The orange-gold sunlight shone on my body, driving away the winter chill.

Yu You walked out holding Jiang Xunzhou's hand. He was in a daze and felt that what had just happened was like a dream. It was not until he got into the car that he slowly came to his senses.

"I, I thought at first that the old man was dissatisfied with me." Yu You stammered, "What about checking my information..."

Jiang Xunzhou looked calm. "When we announced our relationship, your information should have been sent to the old man. But at that time, he wasn't sure whether I would take you back, so he only saw the most basic information."

Yu You was stunned when he heard this.

Jiang Xunzhou said, "But this time I told you in advance that I would bring you back to see him. I wanted to confirm it. Only then would the old man send someone to investigate for more detailed information and find out what kind of person you are."

Yu You twisted his fingers: "Then, then..."

"For me, the old material represents the past. Since it's in the past, it's not important."

Jiang Xunzhou said lightly, "But I'm not sure if there's anything in the past that might make the old man unhappy with you, so to be on the safe side, I had it dealt with in advance."

Yu You was dazed: "So that's how it is."

He was still a little nervous and wanted to ask something, but seeing that Jiang Xunzhou looked normal, he felt that he must have been overthinking it.

Jiang Xunzhou thought Yu You was still thinking about the shares, and squeezed the boy's fingertips in a comforting manner: "The share transfer involves changes in the entire Jianghe Group. It can't be kept secret. The old man will probably make an official announcement on the day of the birthday party. Before that, let's just pretend nothing happened and relax."

Yu You nodded obediently: "Okay."

He hesitated and said in a low voice, "But... the old man cares about you very much, and I feel it's not good to lie to him. If the old man knew the truth one day, he would definitely be very sad."

Jiang Xunzhou said, "If the old man never knew the truth, then he wouldn't be deceived, and he wouldn't be sad."

Yu You realized: "Yes! Then we must hide well."

"Now that this matter has been resolved, we have time to discuss other issues."

Jiang Xunzhou looked at Yu You with a half-smile: "I didn't realize it before, but it turns out that little fish baby is so dissatisfied with me interfering in your affairs?"

"No."

Yu You blinked, her clear eyes full of innocence: "I was just saying what the old man said, it's not what I really think. Of course I like my husband to take care of me."

"Really?" Jiang Xunzhou nodded. "Then tell me specifically how you like it?"

Yu You hesitated for a long time but couldn't give an explanation. He made up his mind and sat directly on Jiang Xunzhou's lap.

Leaning over, she kissed Jiang Xunzhou on the corner of his lips: "I love you just like that!"

Jiang Xunzhou asked, "Anything else?"

Yu You was dumbfounded.

Can't this be brushed off?

Jiang Xunzhou laughed grimly, pinched Yu You's cheek, and whispered, "...so stupid."

Yu You protested: "I'm not stupid!"

"Okay, not stupid." Jiang Xunzhou said perfunctorily, "but silly in a cute way."

He patted Yu You's butt again: "Baby, get down, we're here."

Yu You refused to go down: "You haven't explained clearly that I'm not stupid. I can tell that you were just dealing with me."

The driver had already gotten out of the car and respectfully opened the back door.

Jiang Xunzhou was too lazy to argue with Yu You. He protected his head with one hand and hugged his waist with the other, then got out of the car while holding him and walked towards the villa.

Yu You subconsciously wrapped his arms around Jiang Xunzhou's neck, pressed against him tightly, and clamped his legs around his waist, like a child being carried. Then he realized what was happening, his cheeks heating up, and he struggled to get down: "I can walk by myself."

Jiang Xunzhou's arms were strong and powerful, locking him firmly like a steel clamp. He kept walking, his tone hinting at a smile: "I asked you to come down just now, but you didn't come down. Now it's too late."

"You again..."

Yu You was a little annoyed, and he bit Jiang Xunzhou's chin with a fierce bite.

Jiang Xunzhou paused and suddenly stopped.

Yu You raised his head proudly: "Are you scared? I will resist too!"

"Yeah, I'm scared."

Jiang Xunzhou looked at him with his eyes lowered, a mischievous look in his eyes, and said, "Since you are so unwilling, then you should just come down and walk by yourself."

Yu You jumped down, turned around, and looked up, just in time to see Su Qiuling and Jiang Junran standing side by side on the second-floor balcony of the villa next to them, looking at them with a smile.

The detached villas are next to each other and so close that two households can even stand on the balcony and chat.

Yu You was stunned.

At this distance, the two parents couldn't have watched their entire interaction, right?

Su Qiuling took Jiang Junran's arm and joked with a smile: "I originally wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to the essential oil SPA together, but forget it. Let's leave you two some private space. We will go by our own and won't disturb you."

Yu You didn't dare to speak. He dragged Jiang Xunzhou back to the villa as if fleeing. After entering, his cheeks flushed. He said, "Why didn't you tell me where my aunt was? She must have had a bad impression of me."

He has been working very hard to create the image of a sweet boyfriend during this period.

Who would have thought that he was not paying attention and forgot to manage his image, and in front of everyone, he bit the chin of someone's own son viciously.

"Bad impression?" Jiang Xunzhou asked in surprise, "Why?"

Yu You was annoyed and frustrated: "I was not obedient at all just now, and I even bit you..."

Jiang Xunzhou smiled, took Yu You's hand and went to the living room, sat on the sofa, and pulled the boy into his arms.

Yu You sat on Jiang Xunzhou's legs and moved. His buttocks pressed against the hard thigh muscles, which felt a little bit uncomfortable.

He found that Jiang Xunzhou really liked this posture.

"You can bite. It's okay if you're naughty." Jiang Xunzhou said bluntly, "Besides, I'm the one dating you. It doesn't matter whether my mother has a bad impression of you or not."

Yu You scratched his cheek and asked doubtfully, "Isn't it that only when we make our uncle and aunt support us, will the old man believe that we are real?"

Jiang Xunzhou said, "As long as they can see that I like you and can't live without you, they will believe that we are real."

He curled his lips, his tone coaxing, "So do you understand? The worse your temper is towards me, the more it will seem like you're taking advantage of your pampering, and the more they'll believe our relationship is real."

Yu You said sincerely, "You sound really perverted."

This was the first time he had heard such a request.

Jiang Xunzhou laughed angrily, then sighed: "...Forget it, let's take it slow."

Yu You thought for two seconds: "It seems that there is no need to take it slowly. The old man has already given us the agreement and asked the lawyer to notarize it."

By this calculation, their plan has been completed by more than half.

Jiang Xunzhou chuckled and asked, "Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat."

Yu You nodded excitedly: "Okay, Sister Mingyan told me that the barbecue in this restaurant is especially delicious."

Jiang Xunzhou frowned: "You only think about Sister Mingyan every day. Is it me who takes you out to eat, or is it her who takes you out to eat?"

Yu You didn't understand what was going on, but he answered seriously, "If you don't take me, then Sister Mingyan will take me."

Jiang Xunzhou poked his lower teeth with the tip of his tongue, expressionless, and slapped Yu You on the butt again.

"You spanked me again. That's the second time today."

Yu You's ears burned, and he finally couldn't help but make an accusation.

Jiang Xunzhou didn't spank him hard, nor did he do so with any romantic meaning. It was like he was simply teaching a disobedient child a lesson.

But it makes people feel even more ashamed.

Jiang Xunzhou asked, "The flesh on your buttocks is all grown by me, so I can't hit it?"

Yu You felt that Jiang Xunzhou was making up stories: "That's because Aunt Liu cooked delicious meals for him!"

Jiang Xunzhou replied lazily, "That's the person I hired with my salary. So, after all, I'm still supporting him."

Yu You thought of the little money left in his account after donating most of his salary, and the flames of anger died down again.

His current bodyguards, vehicles, assistants, and even the clothes in his wardrobe were all arranged by Jiang Xunzhou.

"All right."

Yu You swallowed his anger and said, "Go ahead and hit me."

Jiang Xunzhou asked helplessly, "What did I just teach you? Don't you know how to fight back and retaliate?"

Yu You was confused for a second, then he remembered.

Be a little mean to Jiang Xunzhou.

In that case...

Yu You raised his eyes hesitantly and glanced at Jiang Xunzhou's expression.

Jiang Xunzhou looked at him leisurely, with a faint smile between his deep brows, waiting to see how he would react.

Yu You placed his fingers on Jiang Xunzhou's shoulders, his fingertips curled up and grabbed the fabric of his clothes. Then he closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and leaned closer.

The boy's breathing was tense and rapid, and the moist breath fanned the skin on the side of Jiang Xunzhou's neck, causing waves of fine and dense tingling.

Jiang Xun's boat dazzled for a moment.

The next moment, Yu You bit the side of his neck, causing a sharp pain.

An indistinct groan escaped from Jiang Xunzhou's throat, and only one vague thought flashed through his mind.

...So this is the pain Yu You felt when he bit him?

Yu You regretted it after biting it, and raised his face cautiously to see the reaction on Jiang Xunzhou's face.

There was a bright red tooth mark on the side of Jiang Xunzhou's neck, with a layer of wet water sheen. He was slightly lowering his head, staring at him with obscure eyes.

Then he said in a hoarse voice: "Are you done biting?"

Yu You nodded blankly.

Jiang Xunzhou tutted, "You bit me so hard that my neck is covered in saliva. Is this your way of revenge?"

Yu You couldn't help but laugh. He pulled out a tissue and wiped Jiang Xunzhou's saliva off his neck. "Didn't you say you have mysophobia? Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Jiang Xunzhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "I've eaten your saliva before, what's so uncomfortable about it?"

Yu You's face suddenly turned red.

"Besides, I've tasted more than just your saliva." Jiang Xunzhou continued naturally, "When you sat on my face..."

Yu You finally couldn't bear it anymore, his cheeks burning, and he covered Jiang Xunzhou's lips with his hands: "Okay, okay, stop talking! Let's go eat!"

Jiang Xunzhou raised the corners of his lips and finally let the man go.

It was lunchtime now, and there were many people sitting in the villa's restaurant. They were either family friends or distinguished guests, and most of them knew Jiang Xunzhou.

Jiang Xunzhou was wearing a black shirt with two buttons undone. As he walked along, the circle of fresh teeth marks was proudly shown off to everyone.

Everyone who came to say hello could see it at a glance, was stunned for a moment, and then became ambiguous and weird in expression.

Yu You stood behind Jiang Xunzhou, so ashamed that he couldn't even lift his head. Then he was pulled out. After Jiang Xunzhou introduced him, he gritted his teeth and greeted the visitor.

I couldn't help but start to despair.

No, why did he choose to bite such a conspicuous place because he was so desperate?

Jiang Xunzhou was very satisfied. After taking a seat by the window, he flipped through the menu and said to Yu You calmly, "You did a great job today. Everyone we just met should have a deep impression of our relationship."

Yu You rubbed his burning face, feeling so miserable that he couldn't express it in words.

Jiang Xunzhou called the waiter and ordered the restaurant's signature stone plate barbecue set.

The stone plate barbecue was quickly served. The beef short ribs were drizzled with a special sauce, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sizzling with the aroma of fat on the hot stone plate.

Next to them are the small potatoes, a local specialty. Each one is cute and exquisite. They are baked until the skin is wrinkled and cracked, revealing the sticky golden inside. They are decorated with green broccoli, asparagus and bright red tomatoes, which is very appetizing.

Yu You took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he immersed himself in eating, forgetting what had just happened.

Seeing that he liked it, Jiang Xunzhou asked the waiter to bring a new plate.

While they were eating, someone came over with a glass of red wine and said cheerfully, "Isn't this Xun Zhou? What a coincidence."

Jiang Xunzhou raised his head, a barely perceptible cold light flashed in his eyes, and he politely called "Second Uncle".

Yu You, who was sitting opposite, heard the call and turned to look in the direction Jiang Xunzhou was looking.

The man was about forty years old, and his face was somewhat similar to Jiang Junran, but he was thinner and had a gloomy and dark temperament.

"It's been a while since we last met, but your story was all over the trending search a while ago. Even I knew about it."

The second uncle teased a few words, then turned to look at Yu You, looking him up and down with a look of undisguised contempt, and said: "This is the one who was on the hot search..."

Yu You put down his knife and fork and looked at Jiang Xunzhou with pure innocence on his face. "Honey, is this the second uncle who worked on the shared drone project? I saw that project on the trending search a while ago and thought it was so cool. I was thinking of renting one after filming to try it out and join in the fun! I didn't expect that after filming, there would be no promotion. Why is that?"

The shared drone project was promoted vigorously in the early stage and attracted widespread attention among young people. However, in order to get a few more profit points during the cooperation negotiations, a niche drone brand was finalized. As a result, the equipment malfunctioned frequently and the maintenance function could not keep up. It sank quietly and closed down in less than three months.

He heard Jiang Mingyan secretly plan that his second uncle's project was an idea from Jiang Mingyan's mother's team, but he only copied the surface and did not plan the specific content of the plan at all, but rushed to present it in a hurry.

Second Uncle's face turned pale and blue, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Jiang Xunzhou naturally knew this, so he suppressed his laughter and coaxed, "Baby, if you want to play with a drone, I'll go back and buy you the latest model."

Yu You nodded: "Okay, okay, thank you, husband."

Jiang Xunzhou turned around again and apologized to his uncle: "Little Fish is young and doesn't know how to speak properly. I'll apologize to him on his behalf."

The muscles on Second Uncle's face twitched, and he held back his breath, then changed the subject, revealing a false concern: "Xun Zhou is dating someone in the industry, so forget it. He's young, it's time to have fun, but why is he so ignorant as to bring her to our family dinner? Everyone knows that the relationships in the entertainment industry are messy, and it's not something a family like ours can accept. If you bring someone like that back, what if the old man finds out..."

Yu You was angry and was about to fight back when he remembered what Jiang Xunzhou had said in the car.

Before the old man announced the group's shares at the birthday party, he had to keep a low profile during this period, pretending nothing had happened and not attracting other people's attention.

Just as he was about to hold it back, Jiang Xunzhou raised his eyes, a chill flashed across his eyes, and then he turned his head to look at Yu You with a gentle look, and gently stretched out his hand to cover the back of the boy's hand.

"Don't worry about it, uncle."

Jiang Xunzhou said calmly, "The old man has already met Little Fish and is very satisfied with him. We have also finalized the engagement."
