Chapter 125: Yu Jingmo teased him during the Chinese New Year, his long eyebrows and phoenix eyes were full of mystery...
"Brother, tell mom and dad that they don't need to give me New Year's money. I already have some." Tian Ruan said to Du Henbie.
Du Henbie: "My family lives abroad all year round, so we don't have the concept of lucky money."
Tian Ruan was surprised: "What about the pocket money?"
"Pocket money?" Du Henbie was puzzled. "I was able to earn my own money when I was ten years old, so I didn't need pocket money."
“…” No wonder he hasn’t been given pocket money for so long!
Du Henbie observed Tian Ruan's expression and said, "You want pocket money?"
Tian Ruan said shyly: "I am still in school and I don't have a job yet. Other people's parents will give me pocket money. Of course, it's okay if they don't give me pocket money. Mr. Yu will give me pocket money."
Du Henbie smiled and said, "I'll mention it to my parents."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, big brother. Don't forget that besides me being your biological brother, you also have an adopted brother."
Lu Qiuyan, his adopted brother, passed by with a complicated look on his face. He had never asked anyone for money in his life, but Tian Ruan actually asked for money so calmly.
Tian Ruan gained a lot from this annual meeting. He was in a good mood throughout the whole process and spoke to the directors and CEOs in a cheerful tone. So some people speculated that Yu Jingmo's mood had improved and there was a lot of room for maneuver regarding the dismissal issue - this was completely their overthinking.
No one can influence what Yu Jingmo decides.
After singing the song, Axel had to perform a skit. He wanted to run away but didn't dare to, because he was in debt after all. The appearance fee was not cheap, so he had to perform from beginning to end.
Even if I felt like crying when facing Tian Ruan's "creditor face", I had to try hard to hold it back.
Axel was puzzled as to why he owed Du Henbie but was afraid of Tian Ruan.
The annual meeting ends at midnight.
Tian Ruan became as sleepy as a panda as soon as he got into the car. With dark eyes, he fell on Yu Jingmo and yawned three times in succession, with tears in his eyes.
Yu Jingmo said: "Thank you for standing still."
Tian Ruan asked dazedly, "Can I not come to the annual meeting next year?"
Yu Jingmo: "What if it's not xx but yy who comes next year?"
Tian Ruan instantly became alert, "I'd better come. God will strike you down if you mess with Xiao Qianqian."
Yu Jingmo burst out laughing.
When they returned to the manor, Tian Ruan had already fallen asleep. Yu Jingmo carried her into the main house. The housekeeper and servants were silent and watched them go upstairs with a smile.
"Do you want more milk?" Aunt Liu asked the housekeeper in a low voice.
The butler smiled mysteriously: "No, sir has it."
Yu Jingmo carried Tian Ruan into the master bedroom. Tian Ruan had been sleeping here for the past few days, and some simple clothes were hidden in the closet. Although Yu Jingmo didn't want to wake Tian Ruan up, he couldn't bear to bring his outer clothes to bed.
So he took the young man to the bathroom, put him in a bathtub filled with warm water, carefully placed his head against the edge of the bathtub, and began to undress him.
The young man was unaware of anything, perhaps because he felt like he was still in the amniotic fluid of the mother's nest. His brows were relaxed and he let Yu Jingmo take off his clothes.
Yu Jingmo's eyes deepened. The young man in front of him had skin as white as ice and snow, like a whole piece of fine mutton-fat jade. The mottled red marks diluted the flawless jade quality, adding a touch of gorgeous color.
These traces were all left by him.
Yu Jingmo stroked these traces and walked in the snow to look for plum blossoms. While picking them, the young man's body trembled and a vague hum came from his throat, like a cat's meow.
The cat's meow made people feel itchy. Yu Jingmo teased him and leaned over to kiss the young man's lips.
He didn't let go until the young man had difficulty breathing.
Tian Ruan still hadn't woken up, just leaning against him humming, "Yu..."
Yu Jingmo kissed his neck and sank into the water, like a male mermaid, luring his prey.
The water in the bathtub was overflowing and swaying slightly. A tall figure was looming under the water, holding a piece of beautiful jade and tasting it.
He fished the beautiful jade out of the water and kissed it devoutly.
Tian Ruan dreamed that he was swimming in the water and was captured by a mermaid. The mermaid had a black and red tail, long curly hair, an extremely strong upper body, but a face with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes.
"Mr. Yu..." he murmured. The mermaid was pestering him and doing all kinds of bad things to him.
Tian Ruan was awakened by the stimulation, and then he found that he seemed to be really floating on the water, with his back against the smooth edge.
He swayed and swayed, feeling very comfortable.
I looked down in confusion, only to see my waist being firmly controlled by a pair of large hands.
Xiaotian Ruan was also controlled.
“…………”
Yu Jingmo teased him, his long eyebrows and phoenix eyes were filled with an unpredictable smile.
Tian Ruan: “Ah…”
Yu Jingmo put down his waist, reached out to pick him up, held him in his arms and said, "Are you ready?"
Tian Ruan let out another cry, and his confused mind gradually became clear, but then gradually became confused again, and was brought into a whirlpool of emotion.
After floating up and down like this for more than an hour, Tian Ruan finally fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up at noon the next day, he stared at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling in a daze. Later he remembered that today was New Year's Eve and he had to post couplets. He had originally planned to get up early in the morning to write the couplets.
Sitting up with back pain, Tian Ruan shouted angrily: "Yu Jingmo!!"
About half a minute later, Yu Jingmo came in with clothes, "I'll keep the couplet for you."
Tian Ruan put on his clothes, brushed his teeth and washed his face, then went downstairs to eat.
Aunt Liu said, "We have bought all the New Year's goods. Madam, please see if there is anything missing. I will bring it with me when I buy fish this afternoon."
Tian Ruan shook his head. "Nothing is missing - where is Yu Shang?"
"The young master has gone to the hotel and will be back in the evening."
After dinner, Tian Ruan wrote a couplet by himself while video chatting with Lu Qiuyan, "Aren't you taking a day off today? Are you still working as a doorman?"
Lu Qiuyan stood at the door of the hotel with his sword in his hand, not like a doorman, but more like a door god, "Today's overtime pay is triple."
"Then you and Yu Shang come together for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight." Tian Ruan poured ink into the inkstone, dipped the tip of the wolf-hair brush into the ink, and wrote "The auspicious light of the jade land brings good fortune" on the specially customized couplet.
The writing style is bold and open, yet graceful and gorgeous.
"…It's not like I don't have a home." Lu Qiuyan said speechlessly.
New Year’s Eve dinner is eaten by family together, there is no reason to eat at someone else’s home.
Tian Ruan stood in front of Yu Jingmo's desk without raising his eyes, and calmed down to continue writing "The Rising Sun Shines on Kinmen in Spring".
"I'll come play with you after the New Year." Lu Qiuyan said, "But you still have to go on your honeymoon after the New Year."
Tian Ruan finished it in one go and exhaled deeply: "Mr. Yu and I have discussed that we will go to France for another week's vacation on the fifth day after the New Year. I will have time to play with you guys."
"Oh. Then the amusement park will open on the third day of the new year. Let's go there."
"OK."
Tian Ruan wrote seven or eight couplets and his arms began to ache. Writing with a brush is indeed a patient and strenuous job, especially large characters, which are even more laborious and demanding.
Yu Jingmo brought in a pot of tea and said, "Take a break if you're tired." He put down the teacup, picked up the teapot with his slender fingers, and brewed tea and poured water skillfully.
The light and slightly bitter tea aroma wafted in the air. Tian Ruan drank it. To be honest, he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. He just felt the fragrance lingering on his teeth and cheeks.
Yu Jingmo checked the couplet and said, "The calligraphy is good."
Tian Ruan said with embarrassment: "I started practicing when I was in primary school, in order to win a reward for a calligraphy competition, which seemed to be several hundred yuan."
"You can support yourself at such a young age. You're better than me." Yu Jingmo rubbed Tian Ruan's head and praised him sincerely.
Tian Ruan said proudly: "Yes, even though my elder brother could make money at the age of ten, I could make money at the age of eight."
"Yeah." Yu Jingmo looked at the young man with gentle eyes.
After the couplet was taken down, the housekeeper started to flatter her: "Madam's calligraphy is comparable to that of a contemporary Mi Fu, full of talent and beauty, and with an air of immortality!"
Aunt Liu also praised: "It is said that a person's handwriting reflects his personality. Madam's handwriting is as beautiful as a chrysanthemum."
Tian Ruan: “…”
When putting up Spring Festival couplets, Tian Ruan heard the bodyguard who came to help say: "This is the first time I see a manor putting up Spring Festival couplets."
"First time?" Tian Ruan asked curiously, "You've never posted it before?"
Da Zhuang shook his head. "I've been here for five years and I've never seen Spring Festival couplets. The master doesn't like those fancy things. The eldest master likes to collect antique vases. He specially allocated an annex room for him. Everyone says that out of sight, out of mind."
Tian Ruan: “…” This is the reason why father and son live in separate rooms?
That being said, the clothes in Yu Jingmo's closet are all simple and elegant in style, and there are no extra decorations in the bedroom, unlike Tian Ruan's bedroom which is filled with all kinds of things.
And whenever Tian Ruan dressed fancy, Yu Jingmo's eyes would show a subtle...disdain.
Of course, Yu Jingmo never restricted Tian Ruan's freedom of dressing, but when the ramen-haired fashion designer sent the latest clothes, he would personally check them.
As a result, the number of "strange clothes" in Tian Ruan's cloakroom was greatly reduced.
This is a good thing. Otherwise, Tian Ruan, who is frugal, would wear the clothes that he can't wear in school like a sack during the holidays, polluting Yu Jingmo's eyes.
Tian Ruan looked down at the simple, high-quality clothes on his body. They were elegant and youthful at the same time. They were also picked for him by Yu Jingmo.
These days, it seems like Yu Jingmo is the one who dresses him up...
In the evening, Mrs. Du came with Du Danren. Mrs. Du looked around and asked, "Mrs. Sha is not here?"
Sha Meijuan had been discharged from the hospital and returned to her own home a long time ago. Tian Ruan visited her several times when he had time, and each time he felt a little awkward. The mother was invited to the New Year's Eve dinner, but Sha Meijuan declined, saying, "I'll just celebrate on my own."
Tian Ruan repeatedly invited her to come, and Yu Jingmo came in person, but Sha Meijuan was determined and pushed people away while saying polite words.
There was no way out, Tian Ruan had to accept the fact that her "mother" was gone, but fortunately, there was still "mom" to fill the gap, so it wasn't very painful.
Mrs. Du didn't ask any more questions, she just patted Tian Ruan's hand and said, "Mom will give you New Year's money."
"Don't you have any New Year's money?"
"Your elder brother doesn't have any New Year's money, but you do."
Du Henbie happened to come in and laughed when he heard this: "Mom, your partiality is too obvious."
Mrs. Du took it for granted: "My little Ruan has suffered for so many years, and you, as her brother, are not happy to give her some New Year's money?"
Du Henbie took off his coat and hung it on his arm, saying, "If I wasn't happy, I wouldn't give him 50 million."
"Fifty million?"
Tian Ruan didn't want to appear too wealthy: "...well, big brother is very generous."
Mrs. Du smiled and said, "Brothers should be like this. What about Xiaolu and Xiaohe?"
"Lu Qiuyan wants to accompany his parents."
"Holans wants to accompany his grandfather."
The two brothers said at the same time.
Du Danren forced a smile: "We are brothers indeed, speaking in unison."
Tian Ruan: "Dad, is your waist feeling better? Can you bathe without mom?"
The servants served tea and snacks, and giggled and glanced at Du Danren when they heard the words.
Du Danren: "...Okay."
Tian Ruan acted as if no one was around: "That's good. Dad, you are old too. Take it easy and take care of your health, otherwise mom will suffer too."
The housekeeper pricked up his ears and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce: "Chairman Du, this is ginseng and poria cocos tea, which has excellent kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac effects. You can try it."
Du Danren: “…”
Tian Ruan recommends passionately: "Mr. Yu doesn't drink this and says it's good."
Du Danren: "How do you know if it's good if you don't drink it?"
Tian Ruan: "You don't know, but I know."
“…”
Du Henbie smiled: "Now everyone knows."
