Chapter 26
Just now Li Tingqin was standing at the side and couldn't see Gu Chen's figure inside the door, but now when he walked over and saw him, he suddenly understood why this young man in a bathrobe fell in love with him at first sight.
Little Gu was already gifted and talented, but after leaving the Cheng and Gu families and spending some time in a relaxed environment, his temperament has changed completely, just like a piece of unpolished jade, which, after being polished and precipitated, has finally gradually revealed its original brilliance. Now, his temperament is indeed as pure as pine and jade, and he has a bit of a carefree attitude.
It would be great if Xiao Gu could gradually get over the hurt he suffered in the past.
"Mr. Li is back." Gu Chen also looked back at him.
Li Tingqin looked into that pair of lazy and indifferent eyes, was slightly startled, and a smile appeared on his lips again.
He also somewhat understood why Xiao Gu was unwilling to show up on the show. After all, with his looks and temperament, there were too many people who fell in love with him at first sight, and these suitors were indeed quite annoying.
At the same time, Gu Chen was also looking at the famous President Li. After all, they had been communicating on WeChat for so long, but this was the first time they actually met.
Because of the sudden drop in temperature and for the convenience of traveling, Li Tingqin did not wear a suit today, but a long windbreaker. He is 190cm tall, and the slightly slim windbreaker makes him look even taller, and it can also show his perfectly proportioned body, with broad shoulders and long legs.
Gu Chen has always felt that Li Tingqin, as the current head of the Li family, is also an excellent overbearing boss in today's world where there are countless overbearing bosses. Now at the age of 28, he has been able to take over the Li family from the old man and actively explore and expand the territory.
He married an invisible person from the Gu family, but he was not negligent. From the respect he and his subordinates showed to him, it can be seen that he is a person with a strong sense of control and strict with his subordinates.
But although he is a rational and strict person, he is not without warmth. It is hard to say that he rushed back from abroad just to see me because of the things he dug up behind Zhong Sheng's back.
So Mr. Li is a really interesting person, but it can be seen that there is no love between the two of them.
Yun Zhou was a little confused. After Mr. Li said that Mr. Gu was married, why did Mr. Li and Mr. Gu start looking at each other without talking? He was cold to begin with, and now he was frozen here with them, almost frozen into a zombie.
He thought about it and decided to break the deadlock by speaking himself.
However, looking at these two "presidents" with excellent temperament, he was soon stumped by his own decision-making difficulties. Who should he talk to first?
Although Mr. Gu looks gentle and relaxed, this noble man is actually very distant. He will respect you in a polite manner, but in fact it is difficult to approach him. For example, just now, Mr. Gu just told me to put on my clothes calmly, and his calm eyes did not fluctuate at all.
President Li seemed to have a much greater sense of oppression and control. He was obviously a superior who had been in power for a long time. He was swift and decisive, and his methods might be even tougher. For example, right now, he looked at me with displeasure, which almost made my legs go limp.
Wait, what is he thinking about? Mr. Gu is already married! Then only Mr. Li can choose. Woohoo.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I didn't know you were married..." So he turned back to his original goal and decided to rescue him again, "Wuwu, Mr. Li..."
"Do you still remember me? I'm Yun Zhou. I just mistook Mr. Gu for you... and because Mr. Gu was so handsome, I was a little shaken. Now that I see your true demeanor, I immediately become more resolute! And when I was a child, I also saw you when I went to the Li family to attend a banquet. In fact, at that time... I fell in love with you at first sight..."
Seeing that "seducing" Mr. Gu was about to turn into "seducing" President Li, Assistant Chen behind Li Tingqin immediately said, "...I'm sorry, Mr. Yun, President Li is already married. May I ask at which banquet did you meet President Li?"
Young Master Yun, do you want to think about what you are talking about? Schrödinger's love at first sight?
Also, please don't disturb Mr. Li and Mr. Gu from flirting with each other. Don't you think there's anything wrong with you standing between them?
When Yun Zhou heard that Mr. Li was also married, he immediately took two steps back in fright.
"Uh..." But when asked when he had seen her before, he was still stuck. Finally, under Assistant Chen's inquiring gaze, he said in an awkward tone, "Actually, when I was 7 years old..."
At that time, the Yun family had not yet declined and was still eligible to attend the Li family's banquet, so when he followed the adults to attend, he met Li Tingqin once. God knows how much he racked his brains to find out his relationship with "Brother Tingqin"!
Assistant Chen: "..." No wonder you, Mr. Li and Mr. Gu, can't tell them apart. That party must have been more than ten years ago, right? You fell in love at first sight when you were 7 years old? That's pretty impressive.
Because he was wearing a pair of slippers, Yun Zhou had exposed his tightly clenched toes. He tried to laugh and said, "It feels like all the good men in this world are married... I've been single for too long and there's something wrong with my thinking... Haha."
This child is so stupid that Assistant Chen feels a little sorry for him and signals him with his eyes to take a look.
Gu Chen didn't care about Yun Zhou anymore. He looked at Li Tingqin for a while, curled his lips, and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Li, nice to meet you."
Li Tingqin also reached out and held Gu Chen's hand, smiled, and said, "Nice to meet you."
Yun Zhou: "?" What's so interesting about this? Two big guys meeting? What does it have to do with him?
He only saw the two big guys holding hands together. Both of their hands looked very beautiful. One had some blue veins, which made him look very powerful, and the other was slender and fair, which made him look very noble.
He looked carefully again, and then found out...the two of them were wearing the same ring on their ring fingers!!!
City, meeting, play.
Help me, woooo, you two are facing each other and shaking hands and saying nice to meet you? Am I also part of your play?
He pretended to be enlightened and said to Assistant Chen: "Oh! It turns out that the best men in the world can digest themselves."
He felt like his toes were about to tear through the hotel slippers!!!
Oh my god! He actually confessed to the woman's wife in front of her husband, and then confessed to the husband in front of her wife!
Could he leave Earth overnight and live on Mars?
Yun Zhou decided to make a final rescue and said, "Boss Li and Boss Gu, don't worry! I fell in love with both of you at first sight, which can only mean one thing, that you two are the most suitable for each other, because I am obsessed with looks!"
"I will never be a mistress! I wish you happiness!" Then she turned around, wrapped her nightgown tightly, and ran away picking up her slippers with her toes.
Gu Chen looked at his back as he ran madly in a bathrobe, smiled and said, "This kid is quite interesting." Since it wasn't really "love at first sight", there must be some difficulties.
Li Tingqin didn't feel anything and said, "Come in, it's cold outside." Xiao Gu was probably not wearing a coat because he came out to open the door.
Assistant Chen stood at the door and said considerately, "Boss Li, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. My family is waiting for me."
Li Tingqin nodded: "Go ahead, and remember to bring the gift back."
"Okay." Assistant Chen continued to considerately close the door for them.
Li Tingqin took off his windbreaker and watch in the cloakroom of the suite, leaving only a black shirt. He also unbuttoned two buttons on his collar, which made him feel a little more comfortable after the tiring journey.
Gu Chen was sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for him.
Li Tingqin came over and said, "Xiao Gu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time today."
Gu Chen said: "It's okay, but I actually feel a little weird when Mr. Li calls me Xiao Gu."
Although he told Li Tingqin to call him Mr. Gu in a text message at the beginning, and Li Tingqin respected him on the show and called him that, but in private, he still called him Xiao Gu. He was indeed called Gu Chen, but it seemed that he did not have a nickname like Xiao Gu.
Li Tingqin also knew that he did not follow Gu Chen's wishes, so he said: "I'm sorry, I don't want to seem too distant. I heard that they all call you like this."
They? Gu Chen thought about it. Gu Zhongmao's family all had the surname Gu. It was impossible for them to call him Little Gu. But Du Ruiqing did call him Little Gu all the time, which meant that this name was commonly used. Considering that Ms. Qi hated Gu Zhongmao so much, it was possible that she called him "Little Gu" every day.
But now that I was lying down and receiving Mr. Li's pocket money, it was quite strange for Mr. Li to call me Mr. Gu, so Gu Chen said, "Mr. Li, please just call me Ah Chen."
He seemed to have no recollection of his nickname as a child, but it seemed that someone had called him Ah Chen.
The original owner didn't want to live this kind of life, so he left here and went to another world. Now he is just a passerby in this world. This is the first time he uses his real name here. Although it is "Gu Chen", the meaning is different.
Li Tingqin said, "Okay, Ah Chen." In fact, he also noticed the changes in Gu Chen during this period. Although he didn't think that he was a big shot, he felt that he was getting better and better.
They sat together, and the atmosphere seemed subtly different.
Just as Li Tingqin was about to say something, Gu Chen looked at his watch and said, "Boss Li, it's already half past ten. It's getting late. It's time to go to bed."
Li Tingqin: “? Ten thirty, that’s actually not bad.” Sometimes he would work overtime until more than this time.
Gu Chen insisted, "No, go to bed before 9 o'clock to nourish your heart, and go to bed before 11 o'clock to nourish your kidneys. It's actually a bit late to wash up now."
Li Tingqin: “?”
So Ah Chen lived in the old house for a week. Was he poisoned by his grandfather?
How could a 22-year-old young boy be treated like this?
