Chapter 78

In fact, what happened today has far exceeded Gu Jiangkuo's expectations. His original wish was to spend a day alone with Jiang Nuo on his birthday.

And the fact proves that people are always greedy.

That night, when the two returned to the villa, it was already past ten o'clock. The whole house was quiet, and only the light in Jiang Xiaomi's room was still on. I don't know if he was studying hard or secretly playing with his phone.

However, the two were not interested at all. Jiang Nuo didn't have the slightest intention of checking up on him - he and Gu Jiangkuo had quietly confirmed their relationship, and coming back at this time, it always felt like they were having an affair.

This made him feel a little embarrassed, and he was afraid of being caught by others.

Gu Jiangkuo, on the other hand, was surprisingly clingy. He followed Young Master Jiang all the way to his master bedroom and showed no sign of leaving. He lingered for a long time, making small talk, which annoyed Young Master Jiang to the point of exasperation. He then announced, "I'm going to take a shower! You should go to bed too!"

Gu Jiangkuo left reluctantly.

But how could a newly confirmed couple—let alone their first love—calm down so easily? Gu Jiangkuo took a quick shower and returned to his room, where he tossed and turned for a long time, unable to fall asleep. He felt like he had a lot of things to say to Jiang Nuo, so he sneaked back into Young Master Jiang's bedroom. However, Jiang Nuo hadn't finished showering yet, and he could hear the noises through the bathroom door.

The continuous sound of dripping water seemed to hit Gu Jiangkuo's heart. He naturally would not do such a despicable thing as opening the door and taking a peek, but his mind was easily undisciplined. Suddenly, he remembered the last time he and Jiang Nuo took a bath in there.

Jiang Nuo's hair was wet and soft, covered in a honey-peach-flavored foam stained with cotton powder, her delicate collarbone was covered in water droplets, and her skin was as smooth as white silk...

Gu Jiangkuo didn't dare to think about it anymore, and stood up and wanted to leave.

At this moment, the bathroom door was pushed open. Young Master Jiang was startled: "Why are you still here?"

"I..." Gu Jiangkuo was stuck because of his guilty conscience.

Jiang Nuo was dressed neatly at this time, even wearing a long, thin velvet pajamas. His hair was only half-dry. It was said that blowing hair until it was 60% to 70% dry was best for the hair quality. In his previous life, Mr. Jiang relied on this habit and still had thick, black hair at the age of 30. So when Jiang Nuo saw Gu Jiangkuo's ears turn red, she didn't think much of it. Instead, she stood on tiptoe and touched his forehead with the palm of her hand, "Why is your face so red? It seems a little hot..."

"Could it be that you got injured in the fight with that guy and that's why you have a fever?"

"Maybe." Gu Jiangkuo hurried down the stairs.

Jiang Nuo became worried: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were injured? I asked Aunt Mei to find the first aid kit."

"Forget it, Aunt Mei is asleep now," Gu Jiangkuo said with a sudden inspiration, "I'll go find it. When I get it back, when I get it back, can you help me apply it?"

Young Master Jiang had never done a job as a waiter, but when he thought about it, he realized that Gu Jiangkuo was a grown man and no one knew where he was injured, so it would not be a good idea to ask Aunt Mei to apply the medicine. So he nodded and agreed.

Gu Jiangkuo immediately strode out of the door. His agile figure made Jiang Nuo dazed: He doesn't look like he is injured?

However, when Gu Jiangkuo took back the medicine box and took off his shirt, Jiang Nuo gasped: there were several bruises on his strong and muscular upper body, which looked shocking even on his wheat-colored skin.

The top piece is on the shoulder, and the largest piece is the well-defined abdominal muscles, extending from the waist and abdomen all the way down and hidden in the elastic band of the pajamas.

"That bastard was so cruel!" President Jiang felt distressed. "I will definitely find him and avenge you!"

Mr. Jiang forgot that Gu Jiangkuo almost crippled Abu. Now he just felt angry. The person who dared to touch him, Jiang Nuo, was in Yanlin. Was this bastard tired of living?

When Gu Jiangkuo heard Jiang Nuo swearing, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. It had been a long time since anyone had cared about him like this.

Since my parents passed away and my grandma fell ill, there has been no one around.

Gu Jiangkuo was afraid that Jiang Nuo would be upset, so he tried to comfort her: "It's okay, I have thick skin and flesh, so I don't feel the pain."

"How can it not hurt?"

Jiang Nuo was still angry. He opened the medicine box and took out the Yunnan Baiyao spray. The instructions said that it needed to be rubbed warm and then the heat from the palm of the hand should be used to massage the injured area little by little for the medicine to work.

After studying the instructions, Young Master Jiang sprayed some on Gu Jiangkuo's shoulders, then on his own palms, rubbing them repeatedly to warm them up before pressing his palms on them. The moment he pressed his palms on them, he felt Gu Jiangkuo's muscles tense, his strong and tight muscles bulging into blocks. Jiang Nuo quickly let go: "Did I hurt you?"

Gu Jiangkuo blushed and said vaguely, "No."

"It must hurt." Jiang Nuo muttered, "How can it not hurt when you're injured like this?" Don't let him find that bastard!

He became more careful and slowly rubbed the medicine on the wound. After he finally fixed his shoulder, Gu Jiangkuo was already sweating and the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Although Young Master Jiang had never served anyone before, fortunately, the finished medicine was not difficult to use. When he applied the medicine to his abdominal muscles, before he had even rubbed it twice, Gu Jiangkuo hurriedly dodged, covering his lower abdomen, and hesitantly said, "I can reach here, I can do it myself!"

Gu Jiangkuo didn't dare tell Jiang Nuoming that those tender little hands were not applying medicine, but were clearly lighting a fire.

He grabbed the medicine box, left a sentence "You should go to bed early too", and then fled out.

Jiang Nuo: “…”

After Gu Jiangkuo left, the aroma of medicine lingered in the room for a long time, making Jiang Nuo feel a little unreal. He actually applied medicine to Gu Jiangkuo? He even gave him a name?

Although this title has not been made public yet.

.

The next day was still a working day. President Jiang rejected Gu Jiangkuo's request to go to the company and sent him back to class and home in the evening. The first thing Jiang Nuo did when he got to work was to find his confidant Wu Tong and ask him to try to find the scoundrel who attacked Gu Jiangkuo yesterday.

At the same time, Abu also returned to the hotel, and the room was full of the smell of medicine. He was beaten so badly yesterday. If he were an ordinary person, he would have to stay in the hospital for a month or two.

Abu cursed, "I didn't expect that guy to be so strong and so ruthless! Could he have been involved in a gang? I underestimated him!"

Fortunately, as a soldier, Abu had a lot of experience in being injured. He applied medicine and bandaged himself, and even fixed the minor fractures by himself. He didn't dare go to the hospital. As an outsider with a tourist visa, he would inevitably be questioned if he went to the hospital with injuries from fighting, which would have exposed his identity.

The mission has not been completed yet, so the identity must not be exposed.

In addition to his injuries, Abu also faces a bigger problem: how to report to the head of the family?

Abu was hesitant for a long time, but finally decided to tell the truth. Old Master Gu did not blame or urge him - Gu Zhonghong seemed to have more important things to do, and could not take care of this suspected descendant who stayed in China for the time being.

Abu later found out that the Gu family's business expansion into China seemed to have encountered some obstacles and the old man had to deal with it personally, so he was unable to spare the time during this period.

"The old man is quite pitiful," Abu Yang muttered as he lay on his bed in the hotel. "He's so old, and he still has to work so hard. He has no descendants to worry about him. The only person he can rely on, Young Master Sun, is still so young... I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for him to have so much wealth."

However, this is undoubtedly a good thing for Abu. Since Gu Zhonghong is not urging him, he can rest and recuperate. After he recovers, he will find an opportunity to get something on Gu Jiangkuo's body that can be used for DNA testing.

.

Young Master Jiang once struggled with how to get along with Gu Jiangkuo, who had become his "boyfriend". Later, he found that neither of them had the time to worry about this matter, at least not before the end of the Gregorian calendar year.

As time entered December, the company's affairs became so busy that General Manager Jiang was overwhelmed. The annual financial report, the plan for the coming year, and even the dividend plan all needed his review. The subordinates were also busy with projects and making summaries. During this period at the end of the year, the lights in the entire Jiang Building were often on until nine or ten o'clock in the evening.

In addition to handling all these matters, big and small, Mr. Jiang also has more social engagements. Sometimes he attends three or four dinner parties a day, running around like a busy person.

But it is also gratifying. The financial report of Jiang's group is particularly good this year. After Jiang Nuo's personal efforts, the cheating p2p has been transformed into a more reliable traditional financial management, and has accumulated a better reputation; the cosmetics brand that Jiang Xia invested in casually is also doing very well; the old city real estate that Gu Jiangkuo is responsible for is being built in an orderly manner, and the land price is rising steadily; most of the other industries under Jiang's group are also meeting the plans.

The entire Jiang Group was thriving, so much so that the stock price was rising steadily.

This is the first New Year that Jiang Nuo will celebrate after inheriting the company.

Looking back to half a year ago, the group was still controlled by Huang Dongliang and other diehards who relied on their seniority to bully others. No one believed that the pampered young master could really carry the banner of the Jiang family. But now, no one does not admire him and no one is unconvinced.

In addition to paying attention to his own stock price, Jiang Nuo also keeps an eye on Shengchen's stock price the most.

Ever since the announcement of Jinlin's investment in Shengchen, its stock price has hit the daily limit for several consecutive days. Now, more than a month has passed, and the stock price is still high, having increased dozens of times compared to the original price.

Jin Lin got the dividends, so naturally he was unwilling to let go early. He still bought hot searches and released news every now and then. Investors were also full of confidence. There is a saying in the stock market that goes "buy high and don't buy low". The hotter the stove is, the more people are willing to rush in to burn it.

Mr. Jiang, however, did the opposite. Just before the Lunar New Year, when the stock price was steadily climbing, he sold a significant portion of his shares. After returning the 1 million yuan principal to Gu Jiangkuo and paying the principal and interest due to clients who had purchased 20 million yuan worth of wealth management products sold on Jiang's behalf, he still had a substantial amount left.

Jiang Nuo didn't touch the huge sum of money for the time being. Instead, he called Mr. Zhao of Shengchen on his personal phone: "Mr. Zhao, is it convenient for us to talk? ...How's the financial report going?"

After a brief phone call, Mr. Jiang put his unresolved mind at ease and went to play with his phone for a while.

As expected, after the whole morning, WeChat was filled with messages from Gu Jiangkuo.

[The "Project Quality Phase Assessment" has been sent to the supervisor's email address, and a copy has been sent to you as well.]

Everything is going well at the construction site. Don't worry. I'm going back to school now.

【picture】

[The homework has been done for you. The remaining final exams are concentrated in January, so don't worry.]

【Can I help you register for the Level 4 exam? 】

【miss you】

[There are a lot of cats behind the cafeteria. Does this cat look like you?]

【picture】

The news stopped here. The cat in the picture was snow-white all over, squatting on the stone pillar of the flower bed. Under its feet was a box of steamed grass carp packed from the cafeteria. The most delicious part of the fish had been eaten by it, leaving only the meat on the tail and head. It looked like a picky cat.

The cat curled up its tail, and its sitting posture made it look like a fluffy little ball. Its pink tongue stuck out and licked its paws gracefully.

Not to mention, his picky and fussy personality and overall temperament are really similar to Young Master Jiang.

However, Mr. Jiang himself disagreed. He called, and before the first ring had even finished, the call was picked up. Gu Jiangkuo's deep, pleasant voice rang out from the receiver: "Hello, Nuonuo, are you done?"

It's magical. Gu Jiangkuo is obviously very busy, but he can always find time to send messages to Jiang Nuo and always answer Nuo Nuo's call at the first time.

"Yeah." Young Master Jiang said, "After seeing the message you sent, how do I look like a stray cat?"

"Yes, you're more like a spoiled house cat." Gu Jiangkuo readily chatted with him, "Or a particularly delicate breed of cat."

In fact, Mr. Jiang also had a lot of business matters to discuss with Gu Jiangkuo, such as Bai Mi's next plan, the construction site and studies, but chatting nonsense with someone he liked made him feel inexplicably relaxed.

Young Master Jiang laughed and said, "Being a purebred cat is not enough. If I have the conditions, I want to be a human being."
