Jiang Yilai was amused by his words, but Fu Nanxiao had no intention of letting her go. He put his arm around her waist and whispered something in her ear, which made Jiang Yilai blush.
Jiang Yilai slapped his arm, "Can't you think of something positive?"
Fu Nanxiao said, "Maybe it's because I'm bad, I think about these messy things all day long."
Jiang Yilai really couldn't do anything about him, but every moment she spent with him made her feel happy.
Are you settling in well here?
"It's just a simple greeting, not difficult at all."
"If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell me."
Fu Nanxiao smiled and said, "As long as you're there, there's no problem for me."
"You always manage to say something that touches my heart."
"I have to go back to the Fu family's old house next week for a few days to take care of some things."
Jiang Yilai asked curiously, "I haven't heard you mention this before, what's going on?"
"Grandma's 80th birthday is at the end of the month, and she wants to hold a big banquet. We are still planning the location."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yilai suddenly realized that it was indeed almost Grandma Fu's birthday.
This is my big birthday, so I'll definitely have to celebrate it in a big way.
"Then you'll be busy for a while. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Fu Nanxiao nodded: "Of course there is. It's about not letting me worry about anything, that's the biggest help I can get, and then being there on time that day."
Jiang Yilai was amused by him. In Fu Nanxiao's heart, she always seemed to be the one who needed protection.
In fact, she also wanted to protect Fu Nanxiao, but unfortunately, their statuses were too different.
"I promise I won't cause you any trouble these next few days, so you can focus on your preparations."
"I'll be spending less time with you starting next week, so I'm letting you know in advance."
"Absolutely no problem."
Seeing her natural expression, Fu Nanxiao frowned and said, "You make it sound so easy, but I feel a little sad. I thought you were reluctant to let go, but I didn't expect you to be so calm."
Jiang Yilai was both amused and exasperated, and gave him a hard kiss on the cheek.
"When will you stop being jealous? Of course I'm jealous too, but I only act natural so as not to distract you. Do you want me to cry my eyes out before you're satisfied?!"
These words amused Fu Nanxiao. He knew Jiang Yilai's feelings well and just wanted to hear her say them herself.
"It's so good to have you by my side."
The next day, Jiang Yilai was stopped by Gu Qihang as soon as she reached the stairs.
"Lai Lai!"
Jiang Yilai looked at him curiously. She hadn't interacted with him since returning to the Gu family. They usually just nodded and smiled at each other when they met. It seemed that something was going on since he called her over so early in the morning.
Gu Qihang quickly stepped forward and said, "I'll take up a little of your time. I have something urgent I need to ask you about."
Jiang Yilai nodded and pointed to the empty study, "Then let's go in and talk."
Seeing his anxious expression, Jiang Yilai had a general idea of what was going on. She remembered that she had witnessed him arguing with Gu Nianqiang a couple of days ago, and it was probably related.
Upon entering the study, I saw him anxiously clenching his fists, looking at me speechlessly.
"Just tell me what's wrong with you, and I'll see if I can help."
Gu Qihang looked at him with pleading eyes and said anxiously, "Lai Lai, you really have to help me this time!"
Jiang Yilai said with a serious expression, "Tell me what it is first."
Gu Qihang paced back and forth in the study, one hand on his hip and the other on his forehead, angrily recounting his story.
“Gu Nianqiang, she wants to harm me. I invested in a project before, and she provided the money. At the time, I thought there would be a lot of dividends, so we agreed that I would not return the money if we lost money, but would give her 80% of the profits.”
