Chaрtеr 18: Still Тrуing tо Seduce Ме While I’m Working?
Gu Jinzhоu lookеd аt his соnsеrvаtive, intrоvеrtеd, аnd marriagе-averse third brothеr with nеwfound rеsресt.
“Тherе’s а fiftу perсеnt chаnce of рregnаncy.”
“This…” Gu Fеngyаn’s gentlе аnd scholаrly facе visiblу раled.
Gu Jinzhou’s thin liрs сurvеd slightlу, smiling like a сunning foх full of schеmes: “If yоu have intеrcourse during а wоmаn’s fertilе рeriod, the сhanсеs of prеgnancу arе еvеn higher.”
Gu Fеngyan’s sturdу and robust bоdу swаyed unsteadily.
Gu Jinzhou reaсhеd out to steadу him. “Тhird Brother, уоu’re only thirty-one this year, not so old that you can’t stand steadily, right?”
Gu Fengyan: “I’m not old.”
A glint flashed in Gu Jinzhou’s eyes. “Is the other person much younger than you?”
Gu Fengyan regretted bringing this matter to Gu Jinzhou. He felt like even the color of his underwear that day was about to be guessed!
“Jin Zhou, I was just asking casually. By the way, do you know the most effective way to prevent pregnancy?”
Gu Fengyan regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking.
Going round and round, they were still talking about pregnancy.
Gu Jinzhou, with one hand in his pocket, wore an impeccably tailored and expensive black suit that accentuated his tall, upright figure, making him look handsome, noble, and hypocritically dignified.
“At first, I didn’t understand, so I bought a lot of condoms. In the end, I found that custom-made ones are more comfortable. Now I’ve taken contraceptive shots, which are effective for six months, so condoms are optional for me. But they’re more convenient in the car or when camping.”
Gu Fengyan felt his face turn yellow.
“Ahem, remember to distribute these mooncakes to the family. I have things to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first!”
Gu Jinzhou called after his retreating figure, smiling brightly: “Third Brother, don’t burden yourself with worries. Even if it’s a mixed-race baby, Uncle and Aunt will love it.”
Gu Fengyan stumbled.
She might not necessarily get pregnant, right?
If she does get pregnant…
After dealing with those socialite daughters, Su Ruanruan returned to her bedroom to freshen up.
Gu Jinzhou had said he would give her a massage, but after she washed her face, he was nowhere to be seen in the bedroom.
She draped a robe over herself and walked out.
“Uncle Meng, have you seen Gu Jinzhou?”
“Young Master went to the study.”
“He’s still working this late?”
“Yes, work is important, but health is important too. Young Miss, why don’t you go and persuade him?”
Su Ruanruan knocked on the study door and walked straight in.
Gu Jinzhou was on a phone call, his tone low and serious.
Su Ruanruan, disregarding everything, snuggled into his arms. Gu Jinzhou’s eyelids twitched—he had spoiled her so much that she didn’t know her limits, daring to burrow into his arms at any time.
His fingers kneaded her waist, sliding up along her delicate skin to grasp his most beloved soft flesh, kneading it affectionately. His calm, low voice continued the call, completely unaffected.
It wasn’t until Gu Jinzhou hung up the phone, held Ruan Ruan by the waist, and kissed her for over ten minutes—kissing her until she cried—that he felt satisfied.
“Still trying to seduce me while I’m working?”
“I will! I will!”
Su Ruanruan was furious. Clearly, it was his lack of self-control, yet he insisted on saying she seduced him! She would rather seduce a blind bear than seduce him!
Gu Jinzhou picked up the nightgown thrown on the sofa and helped her put it on.
Her skin was too delicate; kissing her any longer would break it, and he couldn’t bear that.
“Baby, don’t be angry. Let’s go back to sleep.”
“Hmph, how dare I be angry with President Gu.”
After returning to the bedroom and taking a shower, Gu Jinzhou planned to slowly coax the angry Ruan Ruan. Who knew she would be all smiles, not looking angry at all.Gu Jinzhou’s eyelid twitched.
Su Ruanruan said, “Brother Jinzhou, let me dry your hair for you!”
Her soft, plump bottom sat directly on his thighs, her warm, fragrant body pressed tightly against him. Gu Jinzhou only needed to open his mouth to taste a piece of her fair, tender, and sweet flesh.
But he couldn’t kiss her anymore.
Gu Jinzhou wrapped his arms around her waist, his eyes filled with adoration, letting her make a mess.
A few minutes later, Su Ruanruan touched his prickly short hair and said cheerfully, “It’s dry!”
Gu Jinzhou said gratefully, “Thank you, baby. You worked hard.”
It had always been him drying her hair. Today, the little fairy Ruan Ruan took the initiative to take care of him—how could he not be moved?
Su Ruanruan placed her slender, jade-like fingers on the man’s strong shoulders and asked shyly, her eyes seductive and alluring, “Brother Jinzhou, do you dislike how I dried your hair? Why aren’t you kissing me?”
Gu Jinzhou’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He wrapped her in the blanket, his voice trembling with restraint yet unable to hide his excitement: “Don’t tempt me. If I really get excited, I’ll kiss you so well that you’ll cling to me, begging for more. In the end, you’ll be the one suffering.”
Su Ruanruan blinked. “You’ve wrapped me up like a burrito. How am I supposed to seduce you? Hurry up and let me go. This isn’t comfortable.”
Gu Jinzhou hugged the burrito-like Ruan Ruan and sighed softly. “Let’s sleep like this today. I’m afraid if Ruan Ruan wants it, she’ll ride on top of me in the middle of the night.”
Su Ruanruan glared at him. You say such shameless things all day long—does your family know?!
Just as she was drifting off to sleep, Su Ruanruan suddenly remembered something.
“Gu Jinzhou, are you planning to develop the Xishui Bay land?”
“The company has several projects to work on right now. I don’t have the time or energy to bid for Xishui Bay.”
“Oh, that’s good…” Su Ruanruan said intermittently, “Gu Jinzhou, will you hate me…”
Gu Jinzhou smiled silently. “I’ve never hated you. No matter how many mistakes you’ve made, I can’t bring myself to hate you. I only thank heaven for bringing you to me.”
After saying this, he glanced at the little one in his arms—she was already fast asleep.
It was good for her to live carefree like this. He hoped flowers and smiles would always accompany her, while the bad, the painful, and the misfortunes would be borne by him.
Morning.
Gu Jinzhou was making coffee while talking on his Bluetooth headset.
“Yes, I won’t participate in the Xishui Bay bidding.”
Su Ruanruan, hearing the keyword, quickly ran to his side with her milk cup to ‘eavesdrop.’
Gu Jinzhou patted her little head and continued, “No reason.”
Su Ruanruan stood on her tiptoes and kissed him. Well done—he had avoided the trap that had ensnared him in his past life!
Gu Jinzhou’s voice suddenly turned stern. “Rong Xiu, if you like the Xishui Bay land, take it yourself.”
Who does he think he is, giving orders in front of Gu Jinzhou?
Rong Xiu knew he had overstepped and repeatedly apologized. “If you don’t want Xishui Bay, then I’ll take it?”
Gu Jinzhou: “Mm.”
Then he removed his Bluetooth headset.
Su Ruanruan gave him a thumbs-up. “Gu Jinzhou, you’re amazing! Xishui Bay isn’t a good place. It’s right for you not to want it!”
It seemed she didn’t remember what she had said last night.
Gu Jinzhou looked puzzled. “How does Ruan Ruan know Xishui Bay isn’t a good place?”
Su Ruanruan awkwardly touched her face and came up with a quick excuse. “Just the name sounds bad. You have to believe a woman’s intuition!”Gu Jinzhou looked at her with an expression Su Ruanruan couldn’t quite decipher.
“…Alright, I believe in Ruan Ruan’s intuition.”
Seeing that she had managed to fool him, Su Ruanruan breathed a sigh of relief.
Within a month of starting construction at Xishui Bay, seven people had died. After the project was halted for two months and resumed, two more people died—it was extremely eerie. If Rong Xiu wanted it, then let him have it.
Today was Saturday, and Gu Jinzhou decided to take Su Ruanruan camping.
Su Ruanruan couldn’t believe her ears. Although Gu Jinzhou treated her well, he was always busy with work and could only squeeze out time to accompany her on outings. This made her feel guilty every time they went out, and she never dared to suggest going out herself, afraid of disrupting his business. This was also one of the reasons she had wanted to leave Gu Jinzhou in her past life.
