Chapter 102

Old Master Gu changed his previous arrogant attitude. After returning to Yanlin, he agreed to Gu Jiangkuo's request. However, he did not pay him in one lump sum, but in installments. He also added an additional condition that he must immediately return to Nanyang with him and live with the old master in the main house for a long time. He would give him a portion of the equity every time he stayed there for a certain period of time.

When Gu Jiangkuo returned to Jiang's house with this condition, he was still confused. He did not agree immediately, but wanted to discuss it with Jiang Nuo first.

Unfortunately, Mr. Jiang had a sudden social engagement tonight and it was already past dinner time when he got home.

Drinking is inevitable for social events. Mr. Jiang's cheeks were flushed from drinking, but his mind was still clear. He was thinking about what Gu Jiangkuo had said to him on the phone, and called Gu Jiangkuo's name as soon as he entered the door.

In the end, Jiang Xiaomi was the first to hear the noise.

When Jiang Xiaomi saw her older brother, she yelled, "Brother, is it true that Brother Gu is going abroad to study?"

"?" Jiang Nuo, "Who told you that?"

Jiang Xiaomi pouted. "You guys just said it. I overheard you guys talking on the phone... Is he going to study abroad? Can you stop him from leaving? Yanlin University is great. I can't bear to let Brother Gu go."

It was probably because of the phone call in the afternoon that Jiang Xiaomi understood it as studying abroad.

When Jiang Nuo received the call, he wanted to rush back immediately. Unfortunately, as the president of the group, he had a lot of things waiting for his decision, especially recently he was busy investing in the big business of lithium mining. It was not something he could get away from immediately. No matter how hard he tried, he was still busy until now and could not go home.

"Brother, why did you come back just now? You don't care about Brother Gu. Be careful that he will be seduced away by some blonde and blue-eyed goblin after going abroad." Jiang Xiaomi looks innocent, but actually she is full of cunning words.

Jiang Nuo's eyebrows jumped, and he felt his head hurt even more: "Go back to your room! We adults have serious business to discuss, don't come out and make trouble!"

Jiang Xiaomi, after being scolded, really behaved herself and went back to her room with her tail between her legs. As she was going upstairs, she happened to run into Gu Jiangkuo, who had heard the noise and was hurrying downstairs. Jiang Xiaomi quickly whispered, "My brother is back! Please beg him to pay for your education at Yanlin. Don't leave."

Then, fearing that Jiang Nuo would think he was talking too much, he ran back.

Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help but smile bitterly. Jiang Xiaomi was too well protected by Jiang Nuo. She was a little silly and self-righteous. How could the adult world allow people to do whatever they wanted?

"Nuonuo." Gu Jiangkuo called out.

Young Master Jiang waved his hand: "Be quiet, don't wake up grandma, go back to the room and talk."

Ever since that night when Gu Jiangkuo shamelessly moved in, he really never moved out, and turned Young Master Jiang's master bedroom into 'their room'.

Gu Jiangkuo held him and smelled a sweet and soft smell of alcohol. He asked, "Are you drinking red wine?"

"Well, I didn't drink much, so you don't need to support me." Mr. Jiang said this, but he didn't show any intention of struggling. He obediently let Gu Jiangkuo hold his arm and support his waist and went back to the bedroom.

"Let me change your clothes." Gu Jiangkuo said after closing the door.

Jiang Nuo said "hmm", stretched out his hand when asked, and raised his head when asked. His face was pink from the smell of alcohol, and he looked very well-behaved. Gu Jiangkuo thought he was drunk, so he didn't take the initiative to talk about business.

Little did he know, Mr. Jiang was just thinking. When he took off his trousers, he finally sorted out his thoughts and asked, "So that's all he asked? He wants you to accompany him back to Nanyang to live permanently. Is that that simple?"

At this time, Jiang Nuo was only wearing a white shirt and a pair of solid-colored socks that matched his leather shoes. Gu Jiangkuo half-knelt on the ground and paused after taking off half of his socks. "Yes."

He slowly helped Young Master Jiang take off a whole pair of socks, revealing his thin, narrow and delicate feet. Jiang Nuo had a cold body and didn't sweat much, so his feet were dry and odorless after being stuck in leather shoes all day. The skin on his toes and soles was pink, and the skin from the instep to the calf and even under the hem of his shirt was as white as cold jade.

Gu Jiangkuo slowly grasped Young Master Jiang's other foot and said, "I can probably guess what Gu Zhonghong is up to. He's been quietly going to Thailand these past three days."

Jiang Nuo raised her foot in shock—the sock was still in Gu Jiangkuo's hand, and the other sock was successfully pulled off—and asked, "How did you know his itinerary?"

Mr. Jiang considered himself to be the local boss of Yanlin. Not only the business circle, but even the leaders of relevant departments would give him some face. He should be well-informed. However, he only heard that Mr. Gu claimed to be ill in bed these days. He deliberately inquired about his whereabouts but could not find out.

How did Gu Jiangkuo know where he was going?

Gu Jiangkuo said casually, "It's not difficult, actually. I have my own methods. I've been working at the grassroots level for quite a while, so I know a lot of people from all walks of life. Stalking people is not something you can talk about publicly, so there's nothing much to say."

Jiang Nuo: “…”

Jiang Nuo thought to himself: Don't demonize the word "grassroots". We at the Jiang family are all honest office workers. How can we be as all-powerful as you?

Gu Jiangkuo straightened his upper body at this time, still kneeling on one knee, looking inexplicably pious. He unbuttoned Jiang Nuo's shirt one by one and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to take a shower?"

Young Master Jiang had been mentally preparing for this day for a long time, and by now he had no resistance. He readily said, "Let's go together."

Such a straightforward gesture actually shocked Gu Jiangkuo. He paused in unbuttoning his shirt, and suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with surprise. Then he hesitated again: "Nuonuo, is it because I'm leaving that you... You don't have to force yourself because of this."

"Who said I forced myself?" Jiang Nuo's face suddenly flushed, "I didn't..."

It seemed wrong to say no, as if he was really eager. Young Master Jiang couldn't explain clearly, and said with a fierce face: "Why so much nonsense, do you want to come?"

Gu Jiangkuo: "Yes."

It was still the same bathtub. Gu Jiangkuo went to fill it with water, but Jiang Nuo became reserved. He wrapped himself in a branded shirt that couldn't get wet and sat in the spacious, steamy bathtub. Only when he saw Gu Jiangkuo throw a bath ball in and a layer of dense foam quickly appeared on the surface of the clear hot water did he wrap himself in his shirt, step barefoot on the water stains on the ground, and walk to the edge of the sunken bathtub with a clattering sound and sink himself in.

Because I was too nervous, I forgot to take off my shirt.

"...This VALENTINO shirt cannot be washed." Gu Jiangkuo reminded tactfully.

Jiang Nuo's face turned even redder, and he turned into a stubborn boy: "...I know! I don't like this one very much, and I haven't wanted to wear it for a long time!"

And quickly changed the subject, "You haven't told me yet, what did Mr. Gu do in Thailand?"

Seeing the warm water soaking the white shirt, gradually becoming transparent and sticking tightly to Jiang Nuo, Gu Jiangkuo didn't want to talk about business, but if he didn't cooperate and change the subject first, he was afraid that Young Master Jiang would get angry and go back on his promise.

So he slowly leaned against the edge of the bathtub, approaching Jiang Nuo, and said, "Gu Zhonghong went to see a so-called master. I don't know what he asked specifically, but he didn't seem to be in good health. Perhaps he was afraid of death because of his age, and wanted to ask about some kind of witchcraft and sorcery technique to prolong his life. Coincidentally, after seeing that master, he changed his mind and agreed to my conditions."

Jiang Nuo was also shocked: "Are you suspecting that he wants to use you to engage in feudal superstition? Or is it that old immortal who wants to use magic to suck away your life span?"

Gu Jiangkuo laughed and swam over. Jiang Nuo was splashed with water and bubbles. Before he could react, he was caught. Gu Jiangkuo held his chin and kissed him excitedly.

After the kiss, both of them were a little out of breath. Gu Jiangkuo looked at him warmly, "Nuonuo, that curse you used when you cursed me, 'old immortal', was so beautiful. You never curse at anyone."

"I love seeing you get mad at me."

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous. Although Jiang Nuo had prepared himself mentally, the two of them were too close, and Young Master Jiang couldn't help but pinch his arm again. He suddenly remembered the result of the measurement in the dormitory that day. He was frightened and didn't dare to look Jiang Kuo in the eye. But it was not easy to run. He said in a panic: "If he wants to harm you, don't go. I, I..."

"I know you can support me, but do you believe in these weird things?"

“…I don’t believe it.”

"I don't believe it either. We are all staunch materialists. Even if gods really exist, they only punish the wicked. Even if evil spirits really exist, they wouldn't dare to bully me."

Jiang Nuo was defeated again and again, and was forced into a corner of the bathing pool. He agreed with a sense of sympathy: "You are so fierce, the evil spirits dare not get close to you."

"Yeah," Gu Jiangkuo chuckled, "Your man is very capable, don't worry."

"What do you mean, your man?" Young Master Jiang's ears turned red again.

Gu Jiangkuo: "You don't like this dress, let me tear it off for you."

...That’s not necessary!

However, before Jiang Nuo could stop it, he heard the sound of fabric cracking.

"..." Young Master Jiang struggled, "Hasn't the buttons been unbuttoned... Ugh!"

Gu Jiangkuo kissed him, and the rest of Jiang Nuo's words were stuck in his throat. He had never seen such an aggressive Gu Jiangkuo, or rather, Mr. Gu had just been giving in to him in the past, but today, with permission, he decided to take the lead.

It was just a kiss, but Jiang Nuo was unable to resist. When he was let go, his face was already flushed.

Gu Jiangkuo kissed him enough and said in a hoarse voice, "Nuonuo, it's not convenient in the water. I'll carry you up. Let's go back to the bedroom. I remember there's a bottle of lotion by the bed."

Jiang Nuo was so embarrassed that even her shoulders were red. She refused to throw away the dense foam that could serve as a cover and said stubbornly, "It's right here."

And it's not body lotion, but something more professional.

Gu Jiangkuo showed a look of joy and surprise: "You..."

"Yes, I bought it a long time ago!" Young Master Jiang said with a red face and downcast eyes, "It's in the cabinet to the left of the sink in the dressing area, second from the top, the blue bottle."

However, Gu Jiangkuo climbed ashore nimbly and after finding the things, he did not come down obediently as Young Master Jiang had expected. Instead, he pulled him out of the water without saying anything, wrapped him in a bath towel, dried him thoroughly, and then carried him horizontally.

"It's my first time, so I still want to see it clearly," Gu Jiangkuo held him, trying to negotiate, but he had already kicked open the bathroom door and strode forward, coaxing softly, "Let's go back, Nuonuo, be good."

Then he threw the person on the bed and locked the door with a click.
