Chapter 100
Because his mother passed away at an early age, Mr. Jiang has longed for a lively family life since he was a child. Today is the first time he complains about having too many people at home.
Gu Jiangkuo was cooking pasta in the kitchen. He was actually better at making Chinese food, but Nuonuo seemed to prefer sour and sweet flavors. To match the taste, he also made a tomahawk steak according to the online tutorial. At this moment, the steak was wrapped in tin foil and sizzling in the built-in large oven.
Gu Jiangkuo didn't really like cooking. It was just a survival skill he had to master because his family was poor. He didn't enjoy it, and the food he made wasn't delicious either. It just filled his stomach.
But when I thought that the meal was made for Nuonuo, I could naturally enjoy the process.
After returning from Mr. Gu's house today, it was still early for him to get home, but too late to go to the company. With nothing to do, Gu Jiangkuo suddenly had the idea of occupying the kitchen.
I had just taken out the cooked noodles and before I had time to put them on a plate, the kitchen door was opened and then closed again.
The kitchen in Jiang's villa wasn't one of those Western open-plan kitchens. It had frosted glass sliding doors that, when closed, blocked out the smoke and the noise of cooking. Gu Jiangkuo didn't even raise his head as he said, "Aunt Mei, I told you not to help."
"It's me."
Hearing the familiar and pleasant voice, Gu Jiangkuo quickly put down the spatula and said with a smile, "Why did you come in? There's so much smoke in here..."
"Turn off the fire." Young Master Jiang reminded.
Gu Jiangkuo was stunned for a moment, but still did as he was told, then asked, "Are you hungry? I'll be ready soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jiangkuo was grabbed by the collar by Jiang Nuo and pulled to the corner of the wall.
“!!!”
Looking again, Young Master Jiang's fair and delicate face was already close at hand, his head slightly tilted up, a pair of lively black eyes looking at him, the atmosphere seemed a little off.
Gu Jiangkuo's throat rolled, and he said without moving, "Be careful, someone comes in."
Then, he felt two slightly cool and soft lips pressing against him. It was not the kind of light kiss that would leave immediately after touching. Jiang Nuo went around the apron, hugged his waist, raised her feet slightly, closed her eyes, and pried open Gu Jiangkuo's teeth. Her pair of thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly as the kiss deepened.
Even their breathing became entangled, and Gu Jiangkuo could hear his own heartbeat as heavy as a drum. He didn't quite understand the reason for this sudden happiness, but the kiss was too sweet and soft, and it almost burned away his sanity in an instant.
Gu Jiangkuo instinctively wanted to kiss back, but Mr. Jiang was particularly strong today. He grabbed Gu Jiangkuo's wrist when he tried to fight back, and even bit his lower lip lightly.
“!!”
If it weren't for the last bit of clarity left in him, he would have remembered that this was the kitchen and that there was a whole family living in this villa, perhaps just separated by this thin frosted glass door... Gu Jiangkuo almost wanted to pick the person up on the spot and throw him heavily on the soft sofa a few steps away.
However, Master Jiang's physical strength was quite limited. Gu Jiangkuo had just been aroused and was distracted, so he let him go with his heart but not his strength. He panted slightly and said, "Don't worry, I told them that no one can come in now."
Gu Jiangkuo felt his heart beating loudly, and said with a red face: "Nuonuo, what are you doing..." What do you mean?
Young Master Jiang had just returned home and had only taken off his thick down jacket. He was still wearing an expensive custom-made shirt, but his tie was a little crooked, his lips were slightly open, and there was a shiny water stain on his lower lip, making him look very undignified.
His eyes were extremely sharp: "How was your conversation with Mr. Gu?"
Gu Jiangkuo: “?”
Although the topic changed a bit quickly, Gu Jiangkuo couldn't refuse Young Master Jiang, especially when he looked like this, so he answered honestly: "There is no conclusion yet. Maybe my request was too outrageous, so he asked me to come back and think about it."
Young Master Jiang's eyes gradually widened. Those beautiful eyes, which were watery and slightly blurry, gradually became rounder. "That's it? That's all?"
Gu Jiangkuo keenly sensed the rapidly fading atmosphere in the air, and said bewilderedly, "Yes. I've secretly done my homework before, making a detailed analysis of all the Nanyang Gu family's businesses, including their total value, industry distribution, and even the shareholding percentages of their family members. Since Gu Zhonghong wanted to discuss business with me, I was prepared to bargain with him. I listed the highest and lowest prices he could offer and what I could accept. Since this was our first negotiation, of course, I went for the highest price directly."
"So it's normal that he didn't agree immediately..."
The more Gu Jiangkuo spoke, the more erratic his voice became. He asked, "Is there any problem?"
What could be the problem? He had simply overreacted, thinking Gu Jiangkuo was about to leave, and in a fit of excitement, he had forced him into a kiss in the kitchen.
Thinking about it now, it’s a bit hard to explain.
Young Master Jiang said calmly: "...It's okay."
"Did you just say that the meal is ready? I'm hungry, let's go and have dinner." After Jiang Nuo said this, he was the first to leave the kitchen.
Fortunately, he had just told Aunt Mei to ask everyone to leave. Now the entire restaurant and living room were empty, and no one saw his current appearance, so it should not affect his image.
Young Master Jiang coughed lightly, completely untied his tie, and hurried upstairs to change his clothes.
Gu Jiangkuo was left alone, full of excitement and emotions that were almost burning with passion. He stood there stupidly, pinching his apron.
Was he dreaming just now?? What’s going on?!?!
.
Throughout dinner, Gu Jiangkuo tried to probe Jiang Nuo with hints and glances, but unfortunately, Young Master Jiang didn't even raise his eyelids, seemingly deeply interested in the pasta on his plate. The only one who chattered the entire meal was Jiang Xiaomi. Jiang Nuo, who always disliked his noise, remained silent today for the first time. Instead, Brother Gu, unable to tolerate any more, launched an attack: "School is about to start, Jiang Xiaomi, have you finished your winter vacation homework?"
Jiang Xiaomi: “???!!”
Jiang Xiaomi: QAQ
.
Young Master Jiang never expected that his momentary impulse would lead to such serious consequences. Gu Jiangkuo had been squatting at the head of his bed for two hours, insisting on asking him what the kiss meant.
Jiang Nuo couldn't stand it any longer and said in a rough voice: "You are my boyfriend, I can kiss you whenever I want, what's the point?"
Mr. Gu Dajiang was obviously not satisfied with this explanation. He moved from the head of the bed to the bed, lay down next to Young Master Jiang, and stretched out his long arms to hug him.
"!!" Jiang Nuo, "What are you doing?"
Gu Dajiang said confidently: "I want to hold you to sleep tonight. You are my boyfriend, I can hold you whenever I want!"
Young Master Jiang's forehead twitched: "Get out!"
"I'm not going out." Gu Jiangkuo tightened his grip around his waist and pinched the side of his waist wantonly. "You teased me like that during the day, and then ran off. Think about it, is this appropriate? Is this moral? Is this legal?"
Jiang Nuo: “…”
Young Master Jiang knew he was in the wrong and couldn't win the argument, so he resorted to kicking and beating.
It has to be said that Jiang Nuo chose a competition that was the most disadvantageous to himself. Gu Jiangkuo's arms and legs were as strong as if they were cast in copper or iron. Not to mention breaking free, even hitting him would make Young Master Jiang's hands hurt.
"Stop moving." Mr. Gu Dajiang tightened his grip on the man and said in a hoarse voice, unable to bear it any longer. "If you keep doing this, I really can't bear it anymore."
Jiang Nuo: “?”
Jiang Nuo turned around and saw that Gu Jiangkuo's wheat-colored face had turned red and his breathing was a little heavy. He immediately dared not move. But he still couldn't help but complain: "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Jiangkuo said in a muffled voice: "It's all because of you. It's like that during the day and it's still like that at night."
"?!" Young Master Jiang reacted in a second, "I didn't! This is different from daytime, I'm really struggling!"
"I know." Gu Jiangkuo exhaled slowly, buried his face in Jiang Nuo's neck and shoulders, gently sniffed the scent of wild rose shampoo on him, and murmured, "Your struggle is not really a struggle."
The scientific name should be "gangster excitement punch".
After all, it's so fragrant and soft that it's hard not to have bad thoughts.
Although Master Jiang didn't dare to move, he still gave his usual orders: "Go back to your room, it's very late."
Gu Jiangkuo let him go, but didn't leave. He stretched out his long arms and turned off the lights. His voice echoed in the darkness: "I won't touch you. I'll just lie next to you like this, okay?"
Jiang Nuo: “…”
Mr. Gu Dajiang said pitifully, "You just admitted it. You did it on purpose during the day, but you didn't take responsibility for kissing me."
Jiang Nuo: “………………”
Young Master Jiang knew that if he gave in now, this big guy would stay in his room forever.
But he still said: "...Okay."
Then he felt a large, unsportsmanlike hand on his waist the next second. The owner of the hand came over quietly, kissed Jiang Nuo on the face, and said contentedly, "Good night."
“…”
"……good evening."
Okay.
.
No words were spoken that night.
In the presidential suite of a five-star hotel, Mr. Gu woke up with a rosy face. He looked at the time in disbelief, then looked at it again and again, repeatedly confirming it several times before slowly sitting up.
How long has it been since he had such a good sleep?
For people who have suffered from insomnia for a long time, suddenly getting six hours of sleep will make them feel as happy as being reborn.
Is it the sleeping pills?
Impossible. He'd taken so many sleeping pills over the years that he'd developed a resistance. If he skipped a few days, he'd toss and turn with his eyes wide open for days and nights. Only by taking them regularly could he manage a couple of hours of light sleep to keep his old bones alive.
Is it because of the soil and water?
It's even more impossible. He doesn't like leaving Singapore in recent years because he loves to stay in bed. As long as he leaves the old house, the nightmare will become more and more intense. He is already prepared for his old wife in the dream to come to take his life in various ways.
However, I slept for six hours straight without any dreams that night!
Gu Zhonghong felt full of energy and vigor. He pushed open the door with vigor and energy, waved away the servant who tried to help him, and asked, "Ah Xin! Where is Young Master Sun?"
Soon, a servant brought Gu Xin over.
Gu Zhonghong said, "Write down everything Akuoti asked me yesterday and give it to the board of directors."
Gu Xin was shocked: "Grandpa, you want to agree to him? He wants shares in the group!"
Old Man Gu was still brimming with the excitement of a good night's sleep, his mind racing with thoughts: "The Master was right. I really should have come here. So if I get close to Ah Kuo, Fang Wan will forgive me, and I'll be able to sleep well."
"That's not a small amount," Gu Xin, sensing a sense of crisis, continued to persuade. "Such a large change, once it gets out, will affect the stock price! What kind of magic potion has he poured on you, Grandpa?"
It was fine yesterday!
Gu Zhonghong seemed to have been reminded and gestured to stop. "Wait, let's not tell the board of directors yet. I want to try again. Is it a coincidence, or is it really related to him?"
"Axin, book me a flight to Thailand, right now."
Gu Xin said disapprovingly: "Grandpa, are you going to look for that master again?"
Old people tend to be superstitious as they get older. Gu Xin has always scoffed at this, thinking that his grandfather has become more and more confused in recent years and has been cheated out of a lot of money by those so-called Feng Shui masters, especially the Thai master, who is neurotic and pretentious, and won't see anyone unless others come to his door in person.
"Aren't things here still unfinished? Why rush?" Gu Xin said, "Apply for the flight route now, and it won't be too late to go by private plane in a few days."
Gu Zhonghong shook his head: "I am doing this."
Go to Thailand and stay for a few days, firstly to meet the master, and secondly to try to see if his nightmare will come back once he leaves Gu Jiangkuo.
