Chapter 209 Extra Three (End)
Extra three (end)
Gu Jiangkuo feigned dissatisfaction: "Jiang Xiaonuo, why are you so narcissistic?"
Jiang Nuo: "Have we got the marriage certificate?"
Gu Jiangkuo: "Yes."
Jiang Nuo: "So they are legally married."
Gu Jiangkuo: “Yeah.”
Jiang Nuo: "So you love me, isn't that what you should do?"
Gu Jiangkuo: “…” The logic is so rigorous and reasonable that it is impossible to refute!
The registration prompt sounded over the radio, and the first-class aisle was opened. Jiang Nuo walked over, followed closely by Gu Jiangkuo. "No, Nuo Nuo, don't you love me?"
Jiang Nuo: "Follow me on board first."
Gu Jiangkuo refused to be distracted. "You haven't said it yet. Do you love me?"
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
Jiang Nuo caught the stewardess's eye and felt a little embarrassed. He muttered, "Are you in the second grade of junior high school?"
Mr. Gu, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, said confidently, "Asking my legal husband whether he loves me or not, is that just a form of Chuunibyou?"
As they talked, they had already left the flight attendant and entered the cabin. Jiang Nuo immediately surrendered after sitting down: "Of course."
Gu Jiangkuo: "Of course what?"
Jiang Nuo: "Of course I love you, I love you, Mr. Gu Dajiang."
Only then was Mr. Gu satisfied.
.
Shortly after Jiang Nuo and Gu Jiangkuo's flight took off, Master Luang Pu Gong, who had been in seclusion for a long time, finally came out.
Long Pishu was waiting outside his master's meditation room, holding a bank card.
The door was pushed open, and Long Pishu immediately called out "Master" respectfully.
Luang Pu Kom motioned him to come in and sit on the cushion opposite. Luang Pi Su responded yes and sat down properly.
Luang Pu Kom is also eighty years old this year. He is thin and energetic. When he saw his last disciple, he handed him a freshly made amulet and asked slowly, "Have you completed the task I asked you to do?"
"Master, everything has been done." Long Pishu told his master everything about Gu Jiangkuo and Jiang Nuo's trip to Thailand.
Luang Pu Gong: "So, they are going back today?"
Long Pishu: "Yes, Master."
Luang Pu Gong sighed and said, "After all, I have no fate to see her descendants in person."
Long Pi Shu: "Master, is it not easy for you to see him?"
Luang Pu Gong shook his head: "That's not what I meant. There's no need to meet in person."
"Got it, Master!" Long Pishu handed over the bank card. "This is the reward given to us by the two donors. There's no password. I checked the balance, and it's quite a lot. Master, I don't dare to handle this without your permission, so I have to give it to you."
Young Master Longpishu wanted to say: Isn’t the reason for the meeting here?
He had always suspected that his master might have a crush on Madam Fang, which was why he went to such great lengths to help her only bloodline, but he never dared to ask. His master was a very serious man and seldom talked about his own affairs.
However, Master Long Pishu held the bank card in his hand and shook his head, saying, "He's just like his grandmother...both are so generous."
Long Pishu waited for his master's next move, but after waiting for so long, he still didn't get a word from him about whether he wanted to accept the bank card. So he asked a question that concerned him more: "Master, do you think there really is a past life or a present life in this world?"
Master Luang Pu Gong: "..."
Young Master Longpishu asked: "Did the dream that benefactor Gu had before really reflect what happened in his past life?"
Luang Pu Gong: "There is no difference in the Dharma, it is just about cause and condition. Everything in the world has cause and effect. The so-called past and present lives may be the result of obsession."
Long Pi Shu asked, "Whose obsession?"
Luang Pu Gong shook his head and said nothing. Young Master Long Pi Shu knew that this meant that the secret could not be revealed.
Sure enough, the master sent him out to meditate the next moment. Long Pishu reluctantly left and heard his enigmatic master say, "Love is always more powerful than hatred and resentment."
Long Pishu: "You mean..." Is this all because of Mr. Gu's obsession? He loves someone so much that he finally gets a happy ending with him?
Master Luang Pu Gong did not comment and handed the bank card to his disciple: "You should go to China someday and return the card to them in person."
"Oh, yes, Master."
.
Yanlin.
When Jiang Nuo returned home, he always felt that the atmosphere was weird. Gu Jiangkuo was very considerate and volunteered to go out for a walk with the dog, leaving Jiang Xiaomi behind who was hesitant to speak.
Jiang Xiaomi stammered, "Brother..."
Jiang Nuo suddenly remembered the phone call from Jiang Xiaomi when she wanted to have a "heart-to-heart talk", and intuitively felt that this matter might be related to Rong Yi.
"Speak." Jiang Nuo ordered calmly.
"Brother, how did you know that you liked boys?" Jiang Xiaomi asked hesitantly.
Jiang Nuo: “!!!!”
As expected!
Jiang Nuo: "Why do you think of asking this?"
Jiang Xiaomi picked up the teacup and pretended to take a sip to relieve her nervousness. "Ah, no, I wasn't asking. I just asked casually. I suddenly remembered it, so I was a little curious."
"…………" Jiang Nuo, "Did Rong Yi confess his feelings to you?"
"puff--!!"
Jiang Xiaomi spat out a mouthful of water and started coughing violently: "Cough cough cough cough!!!"
Jiang Nuo expressionlessly pulled out a tissue and shoved it into his brother's face.
"Cough cough cough, thank you brother, cough cough cough cough."
Jiang Nuo: "So what do you think?"
Jiang Xiaomi: "Ah?"
Jiang Xiaomi said shyly, "I'm not sure if I like boys, so...but I think if I really like boys, then Rong Yi is actually a good person."
Jiang Nuo: “……………………”
Jiang Xiaomi looked at her brother's expression and felt uneasy. "Brother? Do you have a headache?"
How can I stop having headaches?
The cabbage I've kept by my side for so long is really about to be eaten by someone! Young Master Jiang rubbed his temples, saying nothing, his face terribly cold.
Jiang Xiaomi asked timidly, "Brother, you don't like Rong Yi?"
"That's not the case." Jiang Nuo said coldly, "I just don't like any man who gets close to you. You don't know how fragile the relationship between same-sex couples is."
Jiang Xiaomi: “…”
Jiang Xiaomi was unconvinced: "But aren't you and Brother Gu doing well? Back then, Brother Gu was willing to give up hundreds of billions of his fortune for you."
"Can Gu Jiangkuo be the same as others?" Jiang Nuo raised his voice slightly because of excitement.
At the same time, Mr. Gu, who was waiting for Wangcai to shavings in the yard, suddenly stopped.
Wangcai: "Awooo?"
"Shut up!" Mr. Gu lowered his voice and threatened the dog, "If you keep quiet, I'll allow you to continue digging up the flowers in the yard. Otherwise, you have to run ten kilometers with me!"
Wangcai immediately closed his mouth tightly and wagged his tail happily.
Mr. Gu then let go of the rope and sneaked up to the window.
There was a gauze curtain drawn inside, so I couldn't see what was happening outside at all. However, through the cracks in the window, I could clearly hear the people inside talking.
Jiang Xiaomi: "You think he's different, but that's just because you like him. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!"
Mr. Gu outside the window nodded frequently, secretly praising Jiang Xiaomi for her good summary. Doesn’t Nuonuo just love him too much!
Jiang Nuo: “…”
Jiang Xiaomi: "Do you dare to say you don't like him?"
Jiang Nuo: "Of course, the relationship between me and your brother Gu is incomparable to that of ordinary people."
Mr. Gu outside the window: Hehehehe (*^-^*).
Jiang Nuo: "But Dajiang is indeed different from everyone else. Your Big Brother Gu is also a top-tier wealthy man, right? So many beautiful women have thrown themselves at him over the years, but he's so self-disciplined that he doesn't give anyone a chance. Although I haven't said it out loud, I know it clearly in my heart. Do you know how many business partners have secretly asked me how I raised my husband?"
Mr. Gu outside the window couldn't help but straighten his chest: Oh, this is what he should do. After all, a man's best dowry is chastity. Once he is bewitched by the outside world and becomes unclean, Nuonuo will not want him!
Jiang Nuo continued to plead earnestly, "Many couples inevitably have affairs, or they part ways amicably for various reasons, becoming enemies after the divorce... Same-sex couples are still illegal in China, and without even a legally recognized marriage certificate, how can they be protected? It's a very difficult road to walk."
Jiang Xiaomi was persuaded and tugged at the corner of his clothes, asking, "Brother, how did you train Brother Gu? Can you teach me?"
"It's difficult." Jiang Nuo pondered, "Because there is no other Gu Jiangkuo in the world."
Jiang Xiaomi: “…………………………”
Jiang Xiaomi: Why do I feel like I've eaten a mouthful of dog food? I clearly came here to ask my brother some questions today!
However, Mr. Jiang doesn't show off his affection easily. Once he starts, he can't stop: "Do you know how Gu Jiangkuo makes me feel safe?"
Jiang Xiaomi: "What?"
Jiang Nuo: "He gave me half of his net worth, half of the shares of Gu Group. What a huge sum of money! Using real money to express his love is enough to show his sincerity."
Outside the window, Gu Jiangkuo felt a sympathetic pang, thinking sweetly: "Declaring love with real money." In this respect, Nuonuo and I are very similar. When I was penniless, Nuonuo hired me with a high salary, solving my urgent needs, and later gave me Baimi Technology. Oh, could it be that Nuonuo has been interested in me since then?
Hehehe, I knew it.
Jiang Xiaomi, who was inside the villa, finally couldn't stand it anymore. She covered her face and said, "Brother, stop talking. Even I'm jealous. Giving away equity is a much better move than giving away luxury homes and cars. ... And Brother Gu is the only one in the world who's willing to generously give away such a huge fortune as a token of love. Where can I find another one like him? Even if Rong Yi wanted to give it to someone, he doesn't have it!"
"Yes." Jiang Nuo affirmed, "Gu Jiangkuo is rare in the world. If you choose a boyfriend based on this standard, it is really easy to end up alone."
Jiang Xiaomi: “…”
Jiang Nuo: "There's more to it than that. Gu Jiangkuo—"
"Okay! Enough!" Jiang Xiaomi, "I'll go back and think about it myself."
He has given up on gaining life experience from his brother, a "veteran" - he has really had enough of dog food and will vomit if he eats any more.
Jiang Nuo tried to persuade him, "You really don't want to hear my opinion?"
"Next time!" Jiang Xiaomi said, "Brother, you are tired from the journey, I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back to eat dog food next time, no, to learn life experience from you again."
Jiang Xiaomi put on her shoes quickly and rushed out the door, and saw Gu Jiangkuo standing outside the floor-to-ceiling glass not far away.
Jiang Xiaomi: “…”
Gu Jiangkuo: “…”
Gu Jiangkuo stepped back as if nothing had happened and held Wangcai. Jiang Xiaomi leaned over and said dryly, "Brother Gu, did you enjoy listening to this?"
Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help but raise his lips: "It's so satisfying."
Jiang Xiaomi: “…………”
Gu Jiangkuo pulled Wangcai, who was shaving wood, and said to Jiang Xiaomi, "I'll give it to you."
Jiang Xiaomi had a bad feeling and said cautiously, "No need."
Gu Jiangkuo, however, had already begun to talk non-stop: "Nuonuo is a very shy person. This is the first time I've heard him speak such a long and heartfelt message. It's usually very difficult to get him to say 'I love you'. Xiaomi, I've been through this before, and I'm telling you, if you like someone, you have to say it out loud. You can't be like your brother, who clearly loves me so much but is reluctant to express it. Hey, what did he say? 'Gu Jiangkuo is rare in the world'..."
"Brother Gu, I remembered that the gas at home seemed to be not turned off. I'm leaving first!" Jiang Xiaomi ran away.
Forgive him! These two couples are showing off their affection to him like they're in a relay race. Is being in a relationship such a big deal? He'll just go back and start dating QAQ!
.
Gu Jiangkuo was afraid that his wife would be shy, so he didn't rush in to expose her and tell her that he had heard his confession.
He just took Wangcai for a walk on the lawn in the villa area specially for walking dogs, thinking about what Nuonuo had just said. The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and his heart felt like it was soaked in honey.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Gu Jiangkuo took it out and saw that it was a message from Nuonuo:
[It’s over, my Jiang family is going to be extinct]
【Cat crying jpg】
Gu Jiangkuo's heart melted when he saw the cat emoticon with tears in its eyes. Who would have thought that Mr. Jiang, who was so calm and restrained in front of others, would send a cat emoticon to act coquettishly with him in private!
This is his exclusive honor!
Gu Jiangkuo replied with his fingers flying:
[Jiang Xiaomi and Rong Yi? It's okay, don't cry, be good, your husband will be back soon!]
"It won't be extinct. If you like children, we can adopt ten or twenty, all with the surname Jiang! Okay?"
When his wife is sad, she needs comfort the most. Gu Jiangkuo grabbed Wangcai, who was playing happily with a beautiful Samoyed, and said, "Go home!"
Wangcai, who just went out and hasn't taken a shit yet, said: "???"
The Samoyed's owner couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Gu, why are you going back so early?"
Gu Jiangkuo: "My wife is looking for me. Oh, there's nothing I can do. You don't know, my wife is very clingy. When she's in a bad mood, I can't live without her."
Samoyed owner: “…………” I didn’t ask you that?
However, the neighbors living in this villa area are all well-known figures in Yanlin. Everyone knows each other and even has business dealings. They also know something about Mr. Gu and Mr. Jiang, the two influential figures.
The Samoyed's owner looked at Mr. Gu's tall back and murmured in envy, "Tsk, another display of affection."
.
People who are familiar with Mr. Gu and Mr. Jiang know that their usual displays of affection are just small things. It is only on their wedding anniversary that people can see what "showing off" means.
Take last year for example, Mr. Gu booked an entire helipad and covered it with pink and purple roses. He not only invited relatives and friends to witness it, but also had a helicopter scatter petals in the air.
According to people familiar with the matter, the sky in Yanlin was pink and purple during those days, which was super romantic.
Moreover, the gifts Mr. Gu gives every year are all remarkable. Last year, the largest one was a limited edition Aston Martin, and the other five were also expensive and innovative.
Not sure what to give this year?
But until the day came, no one saw any big move from Mr. Gu.
There was no chartered plane with banners, no celebrity band invited to entertain, and there was no movement at all?
.
Inside Jiang's house.
Gu Jiangkuo held Jiang Nuo's hand and walked into the villa carefully - Jiang Nuo had a blindfold on his face and could not see anything.
"Are you ready?" Mr. Jiang urged.
"That's all right, that's all right." Gu Jiangkuo took him a few steps forward, "It's all right now!"
Jiang Nuo felt a pair of large hands around him, untying the blindfold on his head. He had a hunch that the ground must be covered with flowers - he felt the ground was soft when he was walking just now.
I opened my eyes and found that it was true!
This year it's a field of fiery red rose petals.
"Do you like it?" The invisible big tail behind Mr. Gu was shaking and leaving a shadow.
Jiang Nuo wasn't really interested in flowers or romance, but anything Gu Jiangkuo prepared would be treated with a thick filter. He honestly said, "I like it."
Gu Jiangkuo laughed and said, "Keep going forward. The first gift is on the stairs."
There was a beautifully wrapped box on the stairs. Jiang Nuo opened it and found a car key inside. Another car as a gift? And Gu Dajiang didn't even tie a big bow around the new car and present it to her with fanfare?
Jiang Nuo had a hunch that something was amiss - Mr. Gu would not miss any opportunity to show affection and assert his sovereignty, so there must be something fishy going on when things were out of the ordinary.
Why didn’t you celebrate your wedding anniversary in a crowded place this year, but chose to stay at home, so low-key?
The seven gifts were placed on the steps. Every two steps Jiang Nuo would pick up a package of gifts and open it. Gu Jiangkuo used the gifts to lay a long, invisible line that led all the way to the bathroom on the top floor.
When this villa was designed, a lot of thought was put into the bathroom. There is a glass starry sky ceiling above the head, and the bathtub is a postmodern sunken type. At this time, the bathtub is full of water, with a layer of rose honey and peach-scented pink bubbles floating in it, and roses are spread all around.
And there is a very eye-catching big box in the open space.
Generally speaking, the wedding anniversary gifts that Gu Jiangkuo prepares every year are divided into primary and secondary. Last year’s highlight was the limited edition Aston Martin. Could this year’s be... this box?
Jiang Nuo couldn't help but feel curious and expectant: "What is this?"
Gu Jiangkuo reminded: "It's high-tech! It's a product developed by the engineers of Baimi Technology."
Hearing this, Jiang Nuo perked up. "Is it a new project? A trial product? Something that can be put into production? But I don't remember any significant new products recently."
Moreover... Gu Jiangkuo is not the kind of person who would secretly prepare a big project as a birthday present for him. Gu Dajiang is a man who has a thundering hand in big matters, but in private, especially with his lover, he is either hungry or trembling, and it is impossible for him to "fail to distinguish between public and private."
Sure enough, Gu Jiangkuo said, "...It's not something that's mass-produced. This is a gift I gave to you alone. It can't be mass-produced! I signed a confidentiality agreement with them."
Jiang Nuo: “…”
Gu Jiangkuo urged: "Open it and take a look!"
Jiang Nuo opened the box with suspicion, and found that it contained two sets of exquisite cat ears and cat tails, as well as wolf ears and wolf tails.
Jiang Nuo: “……………………”
Gu Jiangkuo put the wolf ears on his head and introduced them enthusiastically: "This thing is tailor-made according to our measurements. It uses the most advanced bionic technology on the market. It can capture brain waves and perform transformation activities. The ears and tail can reflect the owner's true state when worn!"
Mr. Gu said, tying the tail around his waist again, "Look, I'm very happy now when I think that I can spend a long time alone with Nuonuo."
The wolf's tail behind him began to wag happily.
Jiang Nuo: “……………………”
Gu Jiangkuo enthusiastically recommended it to the market: "How is it? Nuonuo, why don't you try it on too?"
"..." Jiang Nuo gritted his teeth, "This thing was made by the engineers of Baimi Technology?"
Mr. Gu heard the danger in his wife's tone, and the pair of bionic wolf ears on his head instantly turned back to airplane ears. He said in a choked voice, "Yes, but I paid them. I didn't let them work overtime for nothing!"
"That's not the reason!" Mr. Jiang's face flushed red, and he grabbed his cat's tail and beat Gu Jiangkuo. "Such a private thing, you let the engineers do it? Then they would..." Wouldn't they know everything? Where would he put his face?
"We're a legal couple! We got our marriage certificate overseas!" Gu Jiangkuo protested at the top of his voice, but when his eyes met hers, he retreated back, even tucking his wolf tail behind his butt in a weak tone, and whispered, "Everyone knows what our relationship is. It's just a couple who just chat under the covers every day. Besides, I signed a confidentiality agreement with them, and no one will tell anyone!"
Mr. Jiang was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up, but when he saw the tall Mr. Gu Dajiang with his bombshell ears looking at him pitifully, he couldn't get angry at all.
Never mind, he has a point.
Gu Jiangkuo observed his wife's expression and noticed that her attitude had softened. He immediately leaned over with a licking face, wagging his wolf tail behind his butt, and continued to persuade her: "Nuonuo, why don't you try it too?"
Jiang Nuo hesitated: "......"
Gu Jiangkuo began to strip him of his clothes. "The engineer told me that this thing needs to be in direct contact with the skin to be more sensitive. Let me help you put it on."
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
Jiang Nuo fell into Mr. Gu's trap for no apparent reason and was quickly stripped clean. Gu Jiangkuo put on the fluffy bionic cat ears for him and asked, "By the way, where is the gift you gave me?"
"..." Jiang Nuo resigned himself to his fate, "It's in the safe. I'll give it to you tomorrow. It's a jade Guanyin pendant that I bought in Shancheng. I'm afraid it would be disrespectful to the Bodhisattva if I take it out now."
Gu Jiangkuo immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Don't blame me, don't blame me. This situation is really not appropriate. Let's do it tomorrow!"
Then Mr. Gu stripped himself completely naked, leaving only the bionic wolf ears on his head and the bionic wolf tail around his waist. He suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Did that vixen named Zhang take these photos when he was on a business trip with you?"
Jiang Nuo recalled and suspected that he was talking about assistant Zhang Junnan, so he nodded.
Gu Jiangkuo immediately revealed a triumphant look, and then beckoned Mr. Jiang, whispering in his ear, "Do you want to try it in the bathtub? This stuff is waterproof."
"..." Jiang Nuo was actually a little bit looking forward to it. He was silent for a moment and said reservedly, "Okay."
The two of them stepped into the sunken bathtub, their bodies covered by dense foam. Looking up, they could see the starry sky, as if they were the only two people left in the world. It seems that as long as you find the right person, the seven-year itch will not exist.
