Chapter 174
The expensive and exquisite custom-made princess dress was torn down to the last layer. Jiang Nuo's eyes were still red from being bullied. Gu Jiangkuo coaxed him: "Is it uncomfortable to wear this dress for so long? Let me help you take it off?"
Jiang Nuo glared at him, but still stretched out his foot, indicating that he should serve her.
After taking another shower and getting ready, Young Master Jiang did not object to Gu Jiangkuo's suggestion to feed him dinner - in fact, at this time it should be called "midnight snack".
The midnight snack was quite rich. In addition to Nanyang cuisine, there was also authentic Italian pastry, a mix of French pastries, and Yanlin specialties, all of which were Jiang Nuo's favorites.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Gu Jiangkuo asked as he scooped a spoonful of crab meat.
Jiang Nuo took a sip, his cheeks puffed out, and mumbled, "Not bad. Did the chef at home make it? Or did you buy it?"
With so many dishes, one or two chefs probably couldn't make them all. Most of the time, Gu Jiangkuo asked the servants to order them according to his preferences, which was quite a hassle for him.
Jiang Nuo reluctantly forgave Gu Jiangkuo for his previous lack of restraint.
"My chef made it," Gu Jiangkuo said. "I interviewed dozens of chefs based on your taste and kept six. How do you think?"
Gu Dagou's face was as if he was about to give a compliment, and he seemed to be shaking his invisible tail behind his butt to leave an afterimage.
Jiang Nuo, however, had another thought. He dodged the spoon that Gu Jiangkuo was about to feed him and said, "Now that everything is settled, are you going to stay in Nanyang permanently?"
He is interviewing chefs, renovating a small building, and rebuilding a villa. It seems that he wants to take root here. In fact, it is normal. All his property is here. There is no reason for him to leave it alone.
Just as she was unwilling to leave Yanlin and Jiang family, Jiang Nuo could understand Gu Jiangkuo and was unwilling to kidnap him for the so-called love.
If neither of us gave up our careers, we'd have to live apart like this. ... Actually, it wasn't that far off. Singapore wasn't far from Yanlin. The flight took a little over two hours, and getting to the airport from home took a little over an hour. So, all in all, we could see each other in half a day. It was a bit tiring, but we could still see each other every weekend. We'd been apart like this for nearly two years before.
However, he used to think that this situation was temporary and could be persisted. Now, thinking about having to fly around the world like this for the rest of his life, Jiang Nuo feels a little depressed.
Mr. Jiang usually behaves in a reserved manner in front of his subordinates or business partners, and is quite good at hiding his emotions. However, when he has just been fucked, he is in a lazy and relaxed state, and his emotions are easily revealed.
Gu Jiangkuo felt that his wife looked like a dejected and arrogant ragdoll cat, with a pair of invisible, fluffy ears drooping softly on her head.
Mr. Gu couldn't help but rub Jiang Nuo's head, "Can't bear to leave me?"
Jiang Maomao turned her head away proudly: "Gu Dajiang, can you please stop flattering yourself?"
"Oh," Gu Jiangkuo deliberately dragged out his tone, "it turns out I was just being sentimental. I thought you wanted to be with me every day and was ready to pack up and go back to Yanlin. Since you don't want to see me, then I have no choice but to stay in Nanyang for the rest of my life, accompanied by those dice and Pai Gow."
"You want to go back to Yanlin?" Jiang Nuo widened his eyes.
Young Master Jiang's eyes were originally big, and now they were wide open, making him look more like a delicate and exquisite cat with a pedigree certificate.
Gu Jiangkuo continued to tease him: "If you don't reply, you don't miss me. Unless you call me brother again, and say it in a coquettish way - Ouch? It hurts! You really are a cat, why are you biting me?"
Young Master Jiang's canine teeth were still gnawing on Gu Jiangkuo's sturdy shoulders as he said fiercely, "Tell the truth!"
"I say!" Gu Jiangkuo pushed Jiang Xiaomao's face away. "Look, there are red bite marks. ... I say! Guess what the first thing I'll do when I take office?"
He answered his own question, "We're publicly recruiting professional managers, and we've basically finalized the candidate. We've hired the Asia-Pacific General Manager of a Fortune 500 company. I plan to hand over all of Gu's legitimate business to him. As for the casino business, I've already replaced him with someone I trust. Although I'm the chairman, I don't plan to serve as the general manager of any company. I'll direct all major matters remotely, hold a few board meetings each year, and then I'll just wait for the dividends."
Jiang Nuo: “…”
"How is it? Is the arrangement reasonable?" Gu Jiangkuo asked.
Jiang Nuo felt mixed emotions and whispered, "Brother, you don't have to be like this."
Jiang Nuo seldom calls Gu Jiangkuo "brother", unless they are in bed, when he is pushed too hard, or when he needs a favor, so every time he calls him, he always sounds a bit coquettish. This time, his tone is very different, sullen, and even his long eyelashes droop down, covering his eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Jiangkuo really wanted to hold the person in his arms.
He thought so and did so.
"Wife, you're so pretty." Mr. Gu complimented her sincerely, then stroked her fur like a cat. "Why are you unhappy? You don't think I'm a workaholic like you and just enjoy my career, do you?"
Jiang Nuo: “…”
He didn't believe that Gu Jiangkuo was willing to be a rich and idle person all his life. If Mr. Gu was such a carefree person, it would be impossible for him to study hard for a few months before being admitted to Yanlin University; it would be impossible for him to work and find time to study at the same time, and always get full GPA; it would be impossible for him to come to Nanyang alone, work hard for so long in the Gu Group, and then take back the industry in one fell swoop.
What's more, Mr. Gu in his previous life was a mysterious tycoon who was invincible in the business world. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he could make things happen with a wave of his hand.
He is such an excellent businessman, but he just sits there and collects dividends every year. What's the difference between him and those girls who got into 211 and 985 prestigious universities, quit their jobs and become housewives?
Isn’t this a complete waste of resources?
Jiang Nuo said sullenly, "Don't be like this."
Then he seriously proposed a solution: "I can buy a private jet in the name of the company, which will save a lot of time."
"No need," Gu Jiangkuo hugged Young Master Jiang with one hand and pinched his cheek with the other, "Don't use your thoughts to speculate about me, Xiao Nuonuo. How can you understand the joy of a fish if you are not a fish?"
The tender flesh on Jiang Nuo's face was rubbed a little painfully by his rough fingertips. She pushed him away in disgust, "Don't lie to me. If, if I weren't here, you would definitely want to devote yourself to work and build a career."
Just like in the previous life.
Gu Jiangkuo said firmly, "That must be because without you, I have nothing to pursue in life, so I have no choice but to pursue my career!"
Jiang Nuo: “…”
"Who says being a rich, idle person isn't good? I'm not just sitting around eating and waiting for death. I still make the big decisions, but I delegate the details. Look, which Fortune 500 company has its chairman do all the work himself? Don't they all have to spend a fortune on professional managers?" Gu Jiangkuo said. "Isn't the life I have now what everyone dreams of? I have a beautiful partner who loves me, I have endless dividends to spend, and I don't have to work a grueling 996 schedule."
Jiang Nuo: “…” It seems to make some sense.
"Besides," Gu Jiangkuo, "everyone has different dreams. You want to start an industry to benefit your hometown, which is great, but I also have my own ideals in life."
"You are my ideal in life." Gu Jiangkuo kissed Jiang Nuo on the cheek, hugged her tighter, and said happily and sincerely, "Now it has come true."
Jiang Nuo couldn't describe his feelings at the moment. He just felt that his heart was filled with heavy happiness.
"Yeah." Jiang Nuo hugged him back, "Gu Dajiang, I love you."
"I love you too."
“…”
“…”
Five minutes later, Jiang Nuo, who sensed Gu Jiangkuo's change, said, "Could you please stop moving? At such a warm moment, why can you still—"
Mr. Gu said confidently, "I don't want to either, but you said 'you love me'."
Jiang Nuo: “…Get lost.”
Gu Jiangkuo leaned over flatteringly: "Nuonuo, stay with me for a few more days. The CEO I poached will be in office at the end of the month, and then we can go back to Yanlin together."
Jiang Nuo still felt guilty when he mentioned this, but selfishly he was unwilling to object. "So what are your plans after you return to Yanlin?"
"Of course I'm here to help you!" said Gu Jiangkuo.
"You gave up your job as the CEO of Gu Group and came back to help me?"
"Absolutely right." Gu Jiangkuo smiled with a row of neat white teeth.
