Chapter 104

Mr. Jiang sat carefully on the thick cushion, his mood becoming even more complicated.

Although he is reluctant to leave Gu Dajiang, living together does make it easy for things to go wrong. He really can't stand it, so it would be better for them to separate for a while.

Of course, it is best to separate temporarily, for a month or two, rather than drifting apart.

Jiang Nuo sighed and wanted to lie down on the boss's desk, but the movement agitated the wound on his back, and he slowly sat up with a grimace.

What's the solution? Only work.

Mr. Jiang began to process the backlog of work from yesterday. There were monthly work reports submitted by several departments, as well as daily progress reports on ongoing major projects. As he read, he gradually forgot about his discomfort and got into the state.

Perhaps human potential is forced out. Since his rebirth, Jiang Nuo has been working diligently. Work has almost become a part of his life, as indispensable as eating and drinking. Having something to do can not only temporarily make him forget the shameful aftertaste of the pain in his body, but also the sadness of separation.

Unfortunately, what is coming will eventually come.

Two days later, in the private jet terminal of Yanlin Airport, Jiang Nuo held Gu Jiangkuo's hand without saying a word, looking at the apron outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window with an expressionless face.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jiangkuo felt sorry for Jiang Nuo's depressed look and whispered to him, "Didn't you always try to get rid of me before? Now you can't bear to let me go?"

Jiang Nuo scratched his palm without saying a word.

Gu Jiangkuo let him pick at her: "Okay, I promise you, I'll be back soon."

"No." Jiang Nuo said sullenly, resting his forehead on Gu Jiangkuo's shoulder, "You can't give up your career for me."

"Why?" Gu Jiangkuo laughed, "You always say that."

Jiang Nuo closed his eyes, feeling a little aggrieved, but said firmly, "Because if you give up such a good opportunity for me...if you don't live well in the future, you will remember that it's all my fault."

Gu Jiangkuo frowned: "How could I——"

"I know you won't," Jiang Nuo quickly said, "but that's human nature."

There is another sentence that Jiang Nuo did not say. It is the same when lovers are separated from each other. Over time, the feelings will fade. No matter how strong the feelings are, they cannot withstand loneliness. What's more, in this world, there is no such thing as "I must have you".

But Gu Jiangkuo's tone was a little heavier, "I don't care about human nature or not, anyway, my feelings for you will not change, and you are not allowed to change either."

Jiang Nuo tactfully swallowed the last word, not actually saying it out loud to ruin the atmosphere, and instead nodded repeatedly: "I know."

Gu Jiangkuo was still not very happy.

Jiang Nuo didn't want to leave on a bad note, so she lowered her composure and coaxed him, "Brother Dajiang, I love you."

Gu Jiangkuo: “…………”

Gu Jiangkuo wanted to hold it together, but hearing the soft "I love you" made half of his body melt. Then he saw his boyfriend's big, clear eyes like glass, curved with a hint of flattery, and the other half of his body melted in a cowardly way. He said resignedly, "I love you, too."

Then it was Young Master Jiang's turn to argue: "What kind of attitude is that? This is not the tone of 'I love you'."

"...I'm sorry," Gu Jiangkuo was so embarrassed that he said it again seriously, "I love you."

Gu Jiangkuo realized belatedly that ever since his relationship with Young Master Jiang took a step further, he was always the one to apologize, both in public and in bed.

But it feels really good to apologize in bed.

Later he found out that Nuonuo was just a delicate person and was not actually hurt - he had always been very careful and well prepared - so when he came back again, he might not believe Nuonuo's tears anymore, but choose to apologize afterwards.

"It's almost time, A Kuo, it's time to go." Old Master Gu, supported by Gu Xin, walked slowly over, followed closely by a dozen bodyguards and two medical staff.

When he saw someone coming, Mr. Jiang changed his expression and sat up straight, suddenly maintaining a reasonable social distance from Gu Jiangkuo.

Gu Jiangkuo: “…”

Gu Jiangkuo knew that this was President Jiang's eighty-pound idol burden. In front of outsiders, he always had to act like a president. Even when he saw important people, he refused to show any fear and would never let others see him being affectionate.

Jiang Nuo nodded to Old Man Gu and Gu Xin in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, then said to Gu Jiangkuo, "In that case, I won't see you off. Take good care of grandma. Take care."

Because of health reasons, grandma has been staying in the VIP lounge and being cared for by a nurse. Jiang Nuo had already said goodbye to her before.

"...Take care." Gu Jiangkuo said cooperatively. Just as he was hesitating whether to hug Jiang Nuo, he saw President Jiang stepped forward and hugged him tightly. He didn't say anything, but Gu Jiangkuo counted silently and found that he hugged him for a full eight seconds.

"Well, goodbye." Jiang Nuo said, and walked away without looking back.

Gu Jiangkuo was left watching his disappearing figure.

Old Master Gu also watched with him and even commented: "He's a good child, but it's a pity that he's a boy, so I can't have children for you."

"I don't need to branch out," Gu Jiangkuo said, "Let's go."

Then he took the lead and walked towards the boarding gate, where the ground staff were already waiting, leading the way respectfully.

Gu Jiangkuo had long legs and took big steps, so Old Man Gu was one step behind. However, the old man was not angry. He didn't care whether A Kuo had a successor or not. Anyway, Gu Jiangkuo was not the successor he had chosen.

But I was just trying to coax him with some shares. I did promise to give them to him, but whether he really has the ability to take them or not is something we’ll have to see later.

Mr. Gu asked Gu Xin: "What do you think of that young sister-in-law?"

"Huh?" Gu Xin had been distracted and said honestly, "I didn't notice."

"She's so outstanding, and you didn't even notice her?" Gu Zhonghong asked unhappily, "Why are you so absent-minded?"

"No, Grandpa."

However, after the plane entered the stratosphere, Gu Xin found an excuse and hid in a seat in the corner to send messages on his mobile phone - private planes can be installed with secure communication hardware, so there is no need to turn off the phone throughout the flight.

Only Gu Zhonghong and Gu Jiangkuo, grandfather and grandson, were left in the front row. The interior of the plane was more like a living room, with a coffee table, a sofa, and even an automatic mahjong machine.

"Is this your first time on a private plane? Don't be nervous," said Gu Zhonghong.

"Don't be nervous. I've sat with Nuonuo before." Gu Jiangkuo said.

That time, Chairman Lao Jiang passed away, and his body was transported back by a private plane. However, that plane did not belong to the Jiang family, it was just rented.

Gu Zhonghong raised his eyebrows: "Is it Mr. Jiang who came to see you off today?"

"Um."

"You and I are very similar in this respect," Gu Zhonghong said. "There's nothing shameful about pursuing someone with a higher social status than yourself. It's a shortcut to crossing social classes."

As the saying goes, if you don't agree, there's no need to talk too much. Gu Jiangkuo felt that this was a bit the case between him and his grandfather.

"I just like him," Gu Jiangkuo frowned, "It has nothing to do with his social status."

"Heh." Old Master Gu remained noncommittal. "You probably also vaguely know about your grandmother and I, right? Your grandmother, Fang Wan."

Gu Jiangkuo did not deny it.

In fact, as early as when the steward Zhongbo first came to him, Gu Jiangkuo had looked up a lot of information about the Nanyang Gu family, including those available on the market and some unofficial historical secrets that could not be verified.

Old Master Gu married two wives and had countless lovers in his life, but he had few children and most of them were in poor health. Now he only has one grandson, Gu Xin, who is a super rich third-generation who is often by his side and has appeared in countless news pages.

It's simply the standard configuration of a male protagonist in a novel.

Therefore, those who do not know Gu Zhonghong almost do not know that he once had a wife who died suddenly when she was in her thirties, the prime of her life.

Gu Zhonghong: "I know you will investigate sooner or later, but remember, you also have my blood flowing in your veins. There are some things that don't need to be investigated in depth. It's useless for you to deny it. From your perspective on choosing a spouse, I can see that you are just like me, an egoist. Now who is in charge of the Gu family, you should know, and even more so, what to do and what not to do, what to ask and what not to ask, what to ask for and what not to ask for."

This is knocking him.

After the recognition of relatives, the first thing is to negotiate the price, and the second thing is to show one’s power.

Very good, such a cruel family atmosphere... Gu Jiangkuo was not disappointed at all - he didn't pray for the love of a child. In terms of family affection, he had his grandmother, and in terms of love, he had Nuonuo.

He just didn't have any extra affection to share with others. If the Gu family were just friendly and respectful to each other, it would be meaningless. Gu Jiangkuo even felt the urge to show off his skills.

"Do you understand?"

"I understand," Gu Jiangkuo said, "Grandpa."

Gu Zhonghong looked at him in surprise. This was the first time that A Kuo called him like that after he hit him.

Mr. Gu showed a satisfied look: "Okay."

.

The private plane left China and headed for the unknown South Seas.

In Yanlin City, everything was the same as before. Without Gu Jiangkuo and grandma, the house seemed to be much emptier. Young Master Jiang was not used to it and even let Wangcai into the house for the first time. Aunt Mei was so scared that she quickly put away a cabinet full of expensive treasures.

Wangcai was indeed howling with excitement, wagging his tail and playing happily.

As soon as Jiang Nuo got home, he held a glass of milk and watched Wangcai destroy the house. Jiang Xiaomi couldn't stand it anymore and raised his foot to show his brother: "Brother! Look! Wangcai has chewed my slippers to pieces! Why did you let him in here? Didn't you think he was dirty and didn't allow him to enter the house?"

Normally, Wangcai can only come in because of bad weather and Jiang Xiaomi's secret defecation.

And every time he secretly let the dog into the house, he would be scolded by his brother. What happened to Young Master Jiang today?

Young Master Jiang was clearly in a bad mood. He said coldly, "Why don't you reflect on yourself? Are you not paying attention to your personal hygiene? Did Wangcai think your slippers smell the same as his mud pit?"

Jiang Xiaomi was shocked: "Brother, you are so mean, it feels like I'm back in junior high school."

Jiang Nuo: “…”

"Brother," Jiang Xiaomi leaned over thoughtfully, "Are you unhappy that Brother Gu is gone? By the way, why did he bring grandma with him when he went abroad to study?"

Jiang Nuo held his forehead: "...Who told you he was going to study abroad?"

"Then what are you going to do?" Jiang Xiaomi asked doubtfully, "Didn't you just achieve the great harmony of life? I thought he was reluctant to leave..."

"???!" Jiang Nuo choked on his saliva and started coughing violently, "What did you say?"

Jiang Xiaomi showed a look of contempt: "Don't think I'm a child and don't know anything. I'm almost 16, and I actually know everything."

Jiang Nuo was speechless, but he was too lazy to pay attention to him. Jiang Xiaomi peeked at her brother's expression and asked cautiously, "What does it feel like to lose your virginity?"

As expected, he received a resounding “Get lost” from his brother.

Only after Jiang Xiaomi left with her tail between her legs did Jiang Nuo call Wangcai over. He stroked his dog's head and muttered, "Speaking of which, I'm completely broken, but he doesn't seem to be completely broken yet."

"According to the time, it should be landing soon, right?"

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. Young Master Jiang immediately threw the dog away and almost jumped up from the sofa. He picked up the phone from the coffee table and answered it impatiently, "Hello."

The voice on the other end of the phone wasn't Gu Jiangkuo's. The other party was a little surprised, "Mr. Jiang, you picked up so quickly?"

Jiang Nuo moved the phone away from his ear and glanced at the caller ID before recognizing Yu Min. Disappointed, he put the phone back to his ear. Just then, the person on the other end of the line said enthusiastically with a smile, "Nothing, just a reminder, Mr. Jiang, don't forget our date tomorrow night."

Jiang Nuo frowned and corrected, "It's a dinner party."
