Сhaptеr 21: The Whimsiсаl Веаutу vs. Thе Stеаdу, Elegаnt Uncle
Hong Коng Internаtiоnаl Аirрort.
Su Ruаnruаn mеt Mu Xin’еr, аnd the twо embracеd eхcitedly.
Insidе the Мaуbаch.
Mu Хin’er greetеd Gu Jinzhоu аnd Gu Fеngyan.
Shе didn’t еvеn givе the two mеn a рropеr glancе.
Gu Jinzhou was Su Ruаnruan’s man, so shе wаsn’t intеrestеd.
Gu Fеngyan was аlreаdу thirty, and shе wasn’t interеsted еithеr.
Мu Xin’еr had her lоng hair stylеd intо lоose waves, with a seductive tеаr mole under her еуe, but her fierсе personality was exposed as soon as she opened her mouth.
“Should I get an abortion first, or eat first?”
Hearing this, the man in the passenger seat stiffened.
Gu Jinzhou gave his third brother a sympathetic look, his narrow, cool phoenix eyes more amused than anything.
Su Ruanruan: “Let’s eat first!”
Although Xin’er didn’t want this child, its timing was perfect! If Xin’er got engaged to Rong Xiu and then became pregnant with his child, she would repeat the mistakes of her past life and end up locked in a mental institution by Rong Xiu and Su Lan’er!
Mu Xin’er: “The one in the passenger seat is Third Brother Gu, right?”
The steady, elegant man replied with a simple “Mm.”
Mu Xin’er: “My thesis has a tiny little problem. After I get the abortion, can I ask for your advice?”
A Harvard Ph.D. in biology! A figure to be revered!
Gu Fengyan frowned deeply but said nothing.
Gu Jinzhou curled his lips.
Abort Third Brother’s child, then ask Third Brother for thesis advice—truly impressive.
Mu Xin’er was a carefree beauty. Since Third Brother Gu didn’t refuse, that meant he agreed!
Even if he disagreed, he had to agree!
She had already forced herself on one man to write her thesis; she wouldn’t mind forcing herself on a second.
After all, the thesis had to be finished!
Mu Xin’er continued: “President Gu, don’t tell Rong Xiu about my pregnancy! Ruanruan, hurry up and make your man promise he won’t snitch to Rong Xiu.”
Su Ruanruan patted her hand, urging her to calm down.
Gu Jinzhou: “This is between you two. I won’t interfere.”
Mu Xin’er breathed a sigh of relief: “I’m also returning to the country to get engaged to Rong Xiu. I can’t possibly get engaged while pregnant with the duck uncle’s child. I really shouldn’t have spent money on the duck uncle to relieve thesis stress. Honestly, his skills weren’t that great.”
“But the pressure of writing a thesis is really intense. I don’t have many friends abroad to talk to. Third Brother Gu, you’re also in biology, so you understand me, right?”
Gu Fengyan pinched the bridge of his nose and said calmly, “I don’t understand.”
Mu Xin’er: “Huh?”
The Maybach stopped near a French restaurant.
Gu Jinzhou opened the car door, took Su Ruanruan’s hand, and kissed it. The tall, handsome man held her close, ready to watch the show.
Su Ruanruan was puzzled.
President Gu was noble, proud, and aloof. She had never seen him treat any girl other than Su Ruanruan well. Mu Xin’er shrugged knowingly and was about to get out of the car when she unexpectedly spotted the duck uncle outside the window.
“!!!”
She let out a sharp shriek.
So Third Brother Gu was the duck uncle!
Ahhh!
Gu Fengyan opened the car door and lifted her out.
The man’s elegant, steady face showed no emotion as he said calmly, “Let’s eat first. You’re not alone now.”Mu Xin’er pushed him away energetically, hands on her hips, speaking with conviction: “How am I not alone? You look gentle and refined, yet you start cursing as soon as you open your mouth! Brother Gu San, you can’t hold a grudge against me just because I mistook you for the duck uncle! Let me tell you, you don’t have to take responsibility for the child in my belly, but you have to take responsibility for my graduation thesis!”
Gu Fengyan had already calmed down, speaking softly: “Miss Mu, I wasn’t cursing at you. Right now, you truly aren’t alone—you are two people. I will take responsibility for you and the child… as well as your thesis.”
Mu Xin’er asked in surprise: “You want the child?”
Gu Fengyan: “Let’s talk after dinner.”
Su Ruanruan felt dazed, even more confused than the two parties involved.
So the duck uncle Xin’er mentioned was none other than Third Brother.
This was truly… a blessing in disguise!
Gu Fengyan was a man with a strong sense of responsibility. Whether Xin’er wanted an abortion or to keep the child, Gu Fengyan would see it through to the end.
After dinner.
Gu Fengyan: “I’ll drive Miss Mu home.”
At some point, a Bentley Mulsanne had parked next to the Maybach.
Gu Fengyan opened the car door and invited Mu Xin’er inside.
Mu Xin’er also wanted to discuss the child and thesis matters with him, waving goodbye to Ruan Ruan.
Noticing she hadn’t fastened her seatbelt, Gu Fengyan leaned over to help her buckle up, his warm, deep voice asking if her stomach felt comfortable.
Mu Xin’er blurted out impulsively: “Why didn’t you ask if I was comfortable that night, Brother Gu San? I never expected someone who looks so gentle and refined to be so wild in bed. If you don’t want your wife to find out about this, you’ll have to help me finish my thesis!”
Gu Fengyan took a deep breath: “I don’t have a wife.”
Mu Xin’er: “Girlfriend?”
Gu Fengyan: “No.”
Mu Xin’er: “Ex-girlfriend?”
Gu Fengyan: “There are no women around me.”
Mu Xin’er looked at him with a ‘you poor thing’ expression. “I’m about to have a fiancé soon, and you know him—Rong Xiu. I’m really sorry, Brother Gu San, but I can’t keep this child. Call me selfish if you must.”
Gu Fengyan: “I respect your decision, but I need some time to accept it.”
He appeared gentle and humble in front of family and friends, but he controlled the Gu pharmaceutical enterprise with annual profits in the hundreds of billions. When it came to business wars, he was ruthless and shrewd—pharmaceutical CEOs worldwide trembled at the sight of the great Gu.
Mu Xin’er blurted out again: “Since you can’t bear to part with the child, before I have the abortion, you can spend time with the baby while also tutoring me to finish my graduation thesis.”
She immediately regretted it—what kind of foolish suggestion was that?
Gu Fengyan: “Alright.”
Mu Xin’er: !
He actually agreed? Why would he agree? Has he lost his mind?
After returning to Silver Lake Manor.
Su Ruanruan enjoyed a relaxing bath. In this lifetime, it would be impossible for Rong Xiu and Su Lan’er to send Mu Xin’er to a mental hospital again, because Gu Fengyan would protect Xin’er.
“Baby, I want to bathe with you.”
Without waiting for permission, Gu Jinzhou squeezed into the bathtub, his palm caressing her smooth, delicate skin. His phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously: “Ruan Ruan, I taught you from a young age not to run around outside.”
Su Ruanruan wrapped her arms around his neck, her fair, dewy face smiling sweetly and softly: “Ruan Ruan didn’t run around! Ruan Ruan only runs around in Brother Jinzhou’s heart!”Gu Jinzhou buried his head, kissing and licking his beloved soft Rou Rou.
Damn.
He had been coaxed by her again.
Afraid that one day she might coax him to his death, and he would still find it sweet.
The two of them frolicked in the bathroom for over an hour before lying side by side on the pink bed, their feet touching.
No matter how fierce a man is, he still has to sleep on his wife’s pink sheets.
Su Ruanruan woke up startled in the middle of the night again. This time, she didn’t run around but tightly hugged Gu Jinzhou.
She knew the fate of everyone, except for Gu Jinzhou’s.
She could save everyone, but she couldn’t save her own lover—how could she not be panicked and unsettled?
“Gu Jinzhou…”
“Gu Jinzhou, don’t leave me.”
The young girl sobbed softly, tears sliding down her clean, fair eyes. Her delicate, fragile cries were utterly captivating.
Gu Jinzhou opened his drowsy eyes, kissed away her tears, and comforted his wife with action.
In the end, her cries grew even softer and more alluring.
“Be good, don’t cry. The more you cry, the more I get turned on.”
“…” Su Ruanruan stopped crying and slapped Gu Jinzhou. After all, he had no shame.
