On the deep green, winding river, the rafts moved forward in an orderly and steady manner.
On the raft in the center of the group, Chu Nanfeng looked at Xiao Wujie with a gaze that was almost tearful.
Chu Liyue was aloof and cold. She glared at him, and he knew better than to back down.
But if it were Chu Yuntian and Bai Jingxuan, hehehe—
Tomorrow's top trending topic will most likely be the untimely and mysterious death of Chu Nanfeng, the eldest son of the Chu family.
The specific reason was found to be that he could not bear the humiliation and died of depression.
"Little Wujie... no, living father!"
A struggle flashed across his handsome face, and Chu Nanfeng gave Xiao Wujie a fawning smile that looked more like a grimace.
"I think I just had a brain fart. I forgot what I said, and you forgot too, right?"
He comfortably enjoyed Chu Liyue's warm hands tracing through his hair, gently caressing him again and again.
Xiao Wujie was pale and sickly, but his beautiful face was gloomy, and his brows showed his sadness and grievance.
"Ugh, my brother really thinks I'm an idiot. He wants me to forget everything that happened just a minute ago~"
"Uh... no way! I just think Lord Wujie is magnanimous and will just let me go like a fart."
“I am a ‘small’ person, not an adult, so how can I have any magnanimity?”
As Chu Nanfeng listened to his witty remarks, his eyes twitched violently. He realized that this little green tea was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.
Seeing the strange smile on Xiao Wujie's face, Chu Nanfeng hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking:
"Then... what do I need to do for Xiao Wujie to be satisfied?"
Noticing that the eerie smile seemed to have deepened, Chu Nanfeng quickly increased his intensity:
"You said it, and I will definitely do it within my ability."
As soon as he finished speaking, a charming smile instantly bloomed on Xiao Wujie's handsome face, but the aroma of tea in his words still lingered.
"But...won't that seem like I'm being unreasonable? I'm so innocent and kind, I'm so afraid of being accused of going too far~"
A tingling sensation shot from Chu Nanfeng's feet to the top of his head, causing his entire body to tremble as if he had been electrocuted.
He was so sore from the tea that he dug his toes into the ground and shouted out almost without thinking:
"No! No! No!"
"I was wrong! I beg you! I'll do anything you want! Please stop!"
"Dad! Ancestor!"
You're fucking killing me...
"Brother, is this really true?"
His expression instantly turned serious, and with a jerky motion, Xiao Wujie sat up straight, looking at Chu Nanfeng with a smile in his eyes.
Chu Nanfeng was momentarily stunned by his rapid switching between a scheming woman and a serious person, then a strange look appeared in his eyes.
Why did he feel like this scheming woman was setting him up?
He was testing the waters recklessly, asking, "Can I say I'm not serious?"
Seeing Xiao Wujie's eyes instantly well up with tears, and the aroma of tea about to waft towards him, Chu Nanfeng immediately covered his ears with both hands and cried out repeatedly:
"It's true! It's true! It must be true!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but shrink back, as if afraid that Xiao Wujie would be possessed by a demon and kill people with his tea.
"good."
"I want my elder brother to promise me one thing: after this matter is over, within six months, my elder brother must take over the management and operation of the Chu family's businesses."
With a slight smile playing on his lips, Xiao Wujie immediately stated his request.
Chu Liyue was responsible for reagent research while also managing the business of a huge industry. She was often so busy that she worked non-stop, which made him feel extremely sorry for her.
Unlike his other businesses, the Chu family business is a family business, with more complex interpersonal relationships and interests, and a greater emphasis on blood ties. There are many things that he and Ai Ruoman cannot handle on their behalf.
As the current head of the family, Chu Mingcheng is involved in more complex matters, and even if he wanted to help, he wouldn't have much power to spare.
Chu Nanfeng had previously kept his merits hidden and served the country diligently. Now that he has achieved his goals, he is the most suitable candidate to retire.
He could tell, of course, that Chu Nanfeng wasn't very interested in this, and his own sister was aloof and disdainful of asking for favors.
To ease his sister's burden and for his own happy life as her obedient little darling, he has to play the bad guy.
However, he knew that a few words of threat were not enough to make Chu Nanfeng truly agree; he needed to use something more heartfelt.
“I’m so useless. My sister has to take care of me, research medicines for me, and manage all kinds of business.”
"I'm often so busy that I don't even have time to eat, and I have to stay up all night. This has caused problems with my cervical spine and lower back."
The truth is that Chu Liyue never missed a meal in order to coax him to eat, and she would always be there to sleep with him on time, no matter how busy she was, so that he could sleep peacefully.
As for the neck and lower back... isn't the soreness from sitting for long periods of time a problem caused by overwork?
But none of this diminished the sincerity in Xiao Wujie's words, nor the sadness in his tone. His words were heartfelt and deeply moving.
As expected, upon hearing this, Chu Nanfeng's expression instantly became more complicated.
He understood that Xiao Wujie was striking his pressure points.
Since leaving the organization, he has begun to learn and try to integrate into some of the family's businesses, but his easygoing and carefree nature makes him not enthusiastic about it.
He would much rather be an entertainment star than be integrated into family management.
When people don't like doing something, they will deceive themselves from the bottom of their hearts, saying that they have already worked hard today and should rest, and that they can deal with the rest later.
Xiao Wujie was subtly pointing out that behind his self-deception, there was someone else bearing the burden for him.
Given his position, there are some things he cannot and should not escape.
Once he makes up his mind, no one will dare to object if he takes over the Chu family's business right now.
He is the rightful heir of the Chu family, with Chu Mingcheng and Chu Liyue standing behind him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know anything.
After all, a person's value is never determined by themselves, but rather by their position in the world.
With a complicated expression, Chu Nanfeng glanced at Xiao Wujie, offering no solemn promises or emotional appeals, but simply nodded slightly.
He will do it.
Seeing that Xiao Wujie was about to give him that tea-scented smile again, Chu Nanfeng repeatedly called for a stop and suppressed the goosebumps on his body.
Little green tea, what a pretentious person!
After taking advantage of his guilt towards Chu Liyue, he didn't forget to tease him a little!
Feeling the lingering tingling sensation in his body, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Damn, thank goodness I didn't drink much water.
Otherwise, he'll make you lose control of your bladder and bowels from all the tea.
I'm really scared!
Xiao Wujie gently rested his head back on Chu Liyue's lap, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.
He admitted that it was somewhat despicable of him to take advantage of Chu Nanfeng's guilt towards Chu Liyue in this way, but he had never been a good person. It was also true that Chu Liyue had taken on a lot of burdens for Chu Nanfeng, and he felt no guilt about it.
The thought of my sister being able to avoid those tedious tasks in the future, and perhaps even speeding up the reagent research process—
I want my older sister to hold me every day, to pamper me, and to lick her hands and giggle~
That was fucking awesome!
