Chapter 25
Although Li Tingqin had spared more than two days and arranged the work at hand, the flight between the two places was as long as 12 hours, and he planned to arrive in China late at night. Excluding the travel time, he could only stay in China for one day and one night.
So he called Grandpa Li in advance: "Grandpa, I made a sudden decision to return to China this time. The plane landed in H City and the arrival time is relatively late at night, so I will not go back to the old house to see you for the time being." The Li family's old house and roots are in A City, but Li Tingqin and Gu Chen mainly live in H City, and Songhe Villa is also located in a mountain near H City.
The old man was very "generous" and said: "It's okay, Grandpa doesn't care about this, just arrange your schedule first."
The old man, who was always strict with his juniors, arranged very considerately: "But you have been abroad for more than half a month. Xiao Gu must have missed you very much. I saw him picking peach blossoms in the yard that day...Why don't you let Xiao Gu go back to H City to meet you? This way, you can still be together for two days."
Li Tingqin found that the old man's idea was the same as his own. He said, "Grandpa, I arranged it the same way. I'm afraid you would mind."
The old man emphasized seriously: "Why would Grandpa mind? Grandpa is an old man, he has his own life, he doesn't need anyone to accompany him. But you two have been separated for so long, would Xiao Gu mind?"
Li Tingqin said, "Grandpa, I understand. I will treat Xiao Gu well." Xiao Gu lived in the old house for a few days, and even his grandfather began to feel sorry for him, which showed how incompetent he was as a husband.
The old man hung up the phone, looked at Gu Chen who was drinking tea across from him, and said with a smile: "Little Gu, Grandpa has good news for you. Tingqin is on his way back home. You should pack up and go to H City to reunite with Tingqin."
Gu Chen nodded: "Yes, he told me."
"You two have such a good relationship." The old man pointed at the peach blossom branch in the blue and white porcelain vase and said with emotion, "Xiao Gu, it seems that the peach blossoms you picked are useful. I just picked them two days ago, and Tingqin came back today."
Gu Chen: “…” I really don’t mean anything else, I just want to retire, arrange flowers and cultivate my character.
Gu Chen had no objection to leaving the old house and returning to H City. Although it was okay for him to accompany Grandpa Li, since they were all retired, it was always more comfortable to live alone.
So today he also embarked on his journey back to H City.
Since they were only staying for one night and had to go abroad, Songhe Villa was in the mountains and a long drive away, and there was no need to bother with the villa where they had not stayed for a long time, so Li Tingqin decided to stay in the presidential suite of the hotel under his name.
At this time, Yun Zhou, the young master of the Yun family, was also on his way to the hotel. He couldn't help but urge, "Hurry up, I heard that Tingqin has returned to China, and his flight will probably be today. We should go to the hotel early to wait for him."
"It still takes ten hours to fly back from Country A, so we'll make it in time." The assistant beside him said, "Master, you are really well-informed. You even guessed that President Li would return today."
The young master said with a bit of pride: "My friend who works in Country A told me that Brother Tingqin coordinated his schedule two days in advance. He hasn't been to the company today, so he's probably going back to China. And usually Brother Tingqin finds it troublesome and always stays at this hotel."
He took out his phone and looked at the mirror again, and said, "I heard that Brother Tingqin likes men. You said I should go to him for marriage proposal. He should be interested in me, right?" In fact, whether to arrange a marriage or not is another matter. Now, as long as Li Tingqin is interested in him, it will be enough to solve the crisis of the Yun family.
The assistant encouraged the young master carefully, saying, "Although our Yun family is far inferior to the Li family, you look as good as a star, so you will definitely be able to do it."
Here, Butler Li and Old Deng accompanied Gu Chen and arrived at the hotel before Li Tingqin.
In the parking lot, Butler Li led Gu Chen to the private elevator, and heard two people talking behind a luxury car in a parking space not far away.
The young voice said, "How about this, I'll go get a room and take a shower, then you go to the front desk and find a way to deal with them and get the room card, then I'll sneak in, lie on the bed, and surprise you, how about that?"
Another person uttered a painful question: "...Me?"
Gu Chen walked into the elevator and sighed: These worlds are really dramas, and the bed-climbing drama is indeed enduring. Even if he used to work in a non-partner industry, once he moved into the presidential suite of a hotel, a naked boy would suddenly appear on the bed.
Now that he is no longer the protagonist, he is just a passerby, and this kind of drama finally has nothing to do with him.
He felt unprecedented joy, and as he walked out of the elevator, even his steps became much lighter.
"...Me?" Here, Yunzhou's assistant, as a humble worker, really wanted to throw a busy expression pack at Yunzhou's face.
Going to a hotel owned by someone else's boss to get the boss's room card, what's the difference between this and asking him to get rid of Tang Seng and his disciples? ①
He struggled to keep smiling and said, "Uh... Master, this is unlikely, right?"
Yun Zhou said: "Anyway, you go and try it first, we will go up quickly and talk about it later."
Gu Chen arrived at the suite where Mr. Li was said to live. The decoration inside was customized according to the owner's preferences. The environment was very good. Gu Chen felt that Mr. Li's taste was very consistent with his own.
Butler Li said promptly: "Boss Li's plane has landed and is expected to arrive in a while. Please take a rest first, we will not disturb you."
However, he looked at his watch and it was almost 10 o'clock. He frowned, but still decided to sit down in the living room, picked up a magazine, and waited patiently for President Li.
Outside, Yun Zhou was shivering in the corridor, wrapped in a bathrobe and with bare legs.
Although it is spring, the temperature in H City has dropped again in the past two days. The late spring cold is the most oppressive. Yun Zhou asked with chattering teeth: "Did you get the room card?"
Just when the assistant wanted to beat up the boss and run away, he saw two people coming out of the suite. He quickly pulled Yun Zhou to the side to hide and lowered his voice and said, "Master, do you think Boss Li is back?"
Yun Zhou's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes! I know them, Steward Li and Uncle Deng! They are all people close to Brother Tingqin. Brother Tingqin must have returned! Then I will... just go over and knock on the door? Would that be too straightforward and too unrestrained?"
The assistant heaved a sigh of relief and encouraged with a smile: "No, just go after your love bravely." You can do whatever you want without getting the boss's room card.
Gu Chen, who was used to going to bed at 10 o'clock, was now beginning to feel sleepy. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he thought that President Li had finally arrived.
He opened the door and saw the boy's bare shoulders: "..."
Okay, now instead of crawling out of the bed naked, you crawl out of the door naked, right?
Help! He has already retired and become Mr. Li’s casual wife, why can such a plot still happen?
Gu Chen raised his hand to close the door, but Yun Zhou blocked it with all his strength and said anxiously, "Brother Tingqin, please wait a moment, please wait a moment..."
Gu Chen, who was called "Brother Tingqin", stopped what he was doing and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?" It turned out that he was looking for Mr. Li. I'm sorry, my cheap husband Mr. Li, I forgot that you are still working as a domineering boss.
The door was opened, Yun Zhou saw Gu Chen's face clearly, and was stunned for a moment, and then felt relieved, fortunately Mr. Li did not become fat and ugly. Now facing such a noble and elegant, calm and gentle "Mr. Li", even without the pressure of the Yun family, I feel that I can shout three times: I can do it!!!
So, he looked up at Gu Chen with eyes full of admiration and love, and said shyly: "Brother Tingqin, do you still remember me? I am Yunzhou. We met when we were young. Since then, I fell in love with you at first sight. It was not until recently that I heard that you also like men that I mustered up the courage to come to you and confess my love to you."
His face gradually turned red, and he looked down at his toes: "Brother Tingqin, I have really liked you for a long time. Do we have a chance to spend a wonderful night together..."
Gu Chen: “…” How could the kid call him “Brother Tingqin” so affectionately and still mistake him for President Li?
Gu Chen said, "Sorry, you got the wrong person. I'm not Mr. Li. And, Mr. Yun, please put on your bathrobe."
Yun Zhou was stunned, then suddenly looked up and asked, "Really? Then who are you? Why are you in Mr. Li's room? Are you Mr. Li's partner?"
Gu Chen just said: "My last name is Gu."
"Ah...it's Mr. Gu..." Yun Zhou was stunned for a moment, as if his brain was crashing. But after the crash, he seemed to have replanned the plan and sorted out the loose threads in his mind.
He lowered his eyes again and began to speak shyly: "Mr. Gu, actually I fell in love with you at first sight... I just didn't know your identity..." As long as he could sleep with a big boss, what did it matter who this big boss was?
What's more, Mr. Gu is so handsome, so Mr. Li can't be more handsome than Mr. Gu, right?! He decided happily! He chose Mr. Gu!
He opened his eyes wide, looked at Gu Chen eagerly, and said, "If you are not married, can I pursue you?"
Gu Chen: “………………” He remembered that the old man had been emphasizing this morning about the peach blossoms he picked… these peach blossoms… were they poisonous?
Li Tingqin didn't expect that as soon as he returned home, he would see a disheveled suitor blocking the door to pursue Xiao Gu.
Li Tingqin didn't want to invade Xiao Gu's privacy or disturb them, but at this moment he still said in a deep voice: "He is married."
Yun Zhou turned around and saw another man, and took a step back in fright. This man was tall, with deep features, but he looked more oppressive and more frightening than Mr. Gu. Was this the person he had originally planned to confess his love to, Mr. Li... ?
Yun Zhou was almost crying. This was very handsome indeed, but he was just wearing a bathrobe and standing between the two of them, and he was trembling!
Two men advancing and retreating!
