Gu Chenyan lifted his head from the computer upon hearing the sound. The coldness in his eyes transformed into a playful smile upon seeing Qiao Shu.
Gu Chenyan: “Come in.”
Qiao Shu smiled, walked into the office, and casually reached behind to close the door, keeping prying eyes outside at bay.
Approaching Qiao Shu, who had entered, Gu Chenyan asked, “Why did you come over? Tired?”
Qiao Shu’s cheeks blushed slightly.
This man… Qiao Shu sneakily rubbed his waist, responding, “Not tired.”
Gu Chenyan reached out to ruffle Qiao Shu’s hair. Ever since that first time he did it, he seemed addicted. Finding Qiao Shu cute made him want to ruffle his hair, seeing Qiao Shu happy urged him to do it more, and when Qiao Shu blushed, the desire only increased.
Qiao Shu thoroughly enjoyed this intimate interaction, feeling the sweet sensation of being cherished.
Cough, cough
Tilting his head, Qiao Shu’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Gu Chenyan. “Mr. Gu, I’m here to deliver a package.”
Raising an eyebrow, Gu Chenyan looked intrigued.
Using his free hand, Qiao Shu playfully tugged at Gu Chenyan’s sleeve. “Guess what it is.”
“Guess what kind of package it is.”
Those sparkling eyes held great anticipation.
Gu Chenyan played along perfectly.
He pretended to ponder for a moment and then, in the gaze of Qiao Shu’s eager eyes, he smiled and said, “A rose?”
The smile on Qiao Shu’s face widened, and he jumped with joy. “How did you know? You guessed it right!”
He extended the hand that had been hidden behind him, revealing the vibrant and dripping-with-color rose he personally selected for Gu Chenyan. “Ta-da—”
“Mr. Gu, your delivery. Please sign for it,” Qiao Shu said with a grin.
“Okay,” Gu Chenyan replied, taking the rose.
Unable to contain his joy, Qiao Shu asked, “How did you guess?” and continued, “I’ve always wanted to personally give it to you, and today I finally did.”
“Also, there’s one more thing.”
“Hmm?” Gu Chenyan responded.
Qiao Shu instructed, “Lower your head.”
Gu Chenyan complied.
Qiao Shu: “Can you close your eyes again?”
Gu Chenyan: “Sure.”
Qiao Shu looked at the man in front of him who cooperated so well. He smiled, raised onto his tiptoes, and leaned in, tilting his head.
Their lips met.
Qiao Shu boldly opened his mouth, and his pearly white teeth bit down gently on Gu Chenyan’s lips.
“Qiao Shu?”
Gu Chenyan, still with closed eyes, inquired.
Without uttering a word, Qiao Shu continued to nibble delicately. He extended his soft tongue, lightly licking Gu Chenyan’s lips, then blushing, he pulled away, returning to his original position.
“You can open your eyes now,” Qiao Shu said.
Gu Chenyan opened his eyes, gazing at Qiao Shu.
“This is a mark, a mark that Little Mr. Qiao gives to Mr. Gu.”
Qiao Shu: “Mr. Gu, is it okay?”
Gu Chenyan: “It’s okay.”
Qiao Shu eagerly questioned, “So, do you like it?”
Gu Chenyan answered, “I do.”
Qiao Shu continued, “Then, does Mr. Gu like Little Mr. Qiao more today than yesterday?”
Qiao Shu looked into Gu Chenyan’s eyes, filled with nervous anticipation.
He still couldn’t bring himself to confess, so he opted for this more conservative question in the end.
Gu Chenyan’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. “Hmm.”
Qiao Shu pressed on, “Mr. Gu, is ‘hmm’ a yes or a no?”
Nervous!
Gu Chenyan: “Yes.”
Boom!
As if fireworks were bursting, Qiao Shu was so excited that he wanted to run around Gu Chenyan several hundred times.
Although this wasn’t a confession, Gu Chenyan verbally admitted that he liked him more than the day before!
As long as he worked a little harder every day, making Gu Chenyan like him more each day than the day before, wouldn’t the day Gu Chenyan fell in love with him be just around the corner?
Not far!
Gu Chenyan: “Qiao Shu.”
Qiao Shu snapped out of his excitement, and his watery eyes met Gu Chenyan’s.
Gu Chenyan’s Adam’s apple moved again.
He took a step forward, approaching Qiao Shu. One hand clasped the back of Qiao Shu’s head.
Qiao Shu blinked.
Gu Chenyan: “I also want to mark you.”
Qiao Shu swallowed nervously, “Okay.”
Gu Chenyan’s mark was much more embarrassing than Qiao Shu’s just now.
His oral cavity was invaded and sucked upon.
Qiao Shu was tightly embraced. Every inch of his body was rapidly invaded by Gu Chenyan’s breath.
He clung tightly to the hem of Gu Chenyan’s clothes, his long eyelashes trembling incessantly.
Finally, his lower lip was gently bitten.
Qiao Shu closed his eyes, able to imagine the arrangement of Gu Chenyan’s teeth and the biting action.
Ah!
Seductive!
Gu Chenyan: “Marked.”
The man’s voice was husky and extremely sexy, causing Qiao Shu’s ears to heat up even more.
“Now, does Little Mr. Qiao like Mr. Gu more today than yesterday?”
Qiao Shu’s eyes became even more watery.
He whispered, “You’re copying me.”
Gu Chenyan admitted without hesitation, “Hmm.”
“Madam.”
“Can you answer?”
Qiao Shu laughed, like a radiant sun, making it hard to look away. “Like.”
“I like Mr. Gu the most.”
How could he not like?
Mr. Gu, your Little Mr. Qiao wants to celebrate a wedding with you every day, enter the bridal chamber, and grow old together.
Gu Chenyan chuckled softly.
He released Qiao Shu and took the well-protected rose. He found a new small vase in the office and filled it with water. He then placed the flower inside and finally placed it on his office desk.
Qiao Shu couldn’t help but ask, “Why place it separately?”
He glanced at the large vase on the nearby table filled with many roses.
Gu Chenyan looked at him, “Madam personally delivered it, so it’s different.”
Qiao Shu was pleased.
Qiao Shu: “How did you guess just now?”
Clearly, he had hidden the flower so securely and never revealed it.
Gu Chenyan: “I could see it.”
Qiao Shu became even more curious, “How did you see it?”
Gu Chenyan’s warm fingers touched Qiao Shu’s face, and his eyes deepened with a smile. “My little wife reveals all his thoughts on his face for me to see.”
Qiao Shu: “…”
While sitting beside and reading the new script, Qiao Shu’s smile never faded from his face. He secretly glanced at Gu Chenyan.
The man had already begun working earnestly. From this angle, Qiao Shu could see the man’s serious and handsome profile. The lines were perfect, making him feel flustered. There was also the slightly less noticeable tooth mark on his lips.
That was the mark he left for Gu Chenyan.
Qiao Shu covered his face.
Gu Chenyan: “Qiao Shu.”
“Ah!”
Qiao Shu got caught staring blankly.
Gu Chenyan, who knows, lifted his head from the computer and looked at Qiao Shu. After a while, he sighed and seemed to compromise, saying, “It’s okay.”
Qiao Shu: “???”
Gu Chenyan: “It’s because my mind is not at ease.”
Qiao Shu: “…”
He saw Gu Chenyan stand up and walk towards him. When Gu Chenyan reached his side, he then bends down.
Qiao Shu blinked.
“Um…”
His lips were kissed.
Gu Chenyan’s delicate nibbling fell on Qiao Shu’s lips, then his tongue, and finally returned to Qiao Shu’s lips.
Qiao Shu: “Gu Chenyan…”
Gu Chenyan: “Hmm.”
Nibbling turned into pecking, leaving Qiao Shu bewildered, his breath in disarray.
When Qiao Shu was finally released, his lips were much redder than before, much redder.
The lower lip was marked with numerous tooth imprints.
Gu Chenyan raised his hand.
The warm fingertip touched Qiao Shu’s lips, gliding over his lower lip, sending a tingling sensation that made Qiao Shu shiver.
He looked at Gu Chenyan.
Gu Chenyan: “Little clingy spirit.”
He pinched Qiao Shu’s soft cheek, “I’m going to work.”
It wasn’t until Gu Chenyan immersed himself in work that Qiao Shu blinked in realization.
Then his cheeks turned crimson.
Just now, he had been staring at Gu Chenyan, so Gu Chenyan…?
Little clingy spirit?
Ahhhh!
Qiao Shu shyly raised his hand to rub his flushed cheeks, lowering his head.
He dared not stare at Gu Chenyan for too long.
The afternoon passed quickly; in the meantime, Gu Chenyan went out for a meeting, and Qiao Shu took a nap in Gu Chenyan’s exclusive rest area.
Having slept in Gu Chenyan’s bed, under his blanket and on his pillow, Qiao Shu felt refreshed after the nap, relieving some of the soreness in his waist.
Sitting on the bed, Qiao Shu’s eyes flickered.
Gu Chenyan returned from the meeting around six, and after Qiao Shu packed up, they left together, heading home.
Qiao Shu: “Not busy today?”
Gu Chenyan: “Hmm, some remaining work can be done at home.”
Qiao Shu: “I can wait for you, it’s fine.”
Gu Chenyan: “It’s more comfortable for you to stay at home.”
Qiao Shu blinked and smiled.
It seemed like Aunt Lan had already known they would come back for dinner, as she had prepared a pot of nourishing soup in advance.
Qiao Shu: “…”
Fortunately, this time he and Gu Chenyan both had their shares, preventing Qiao Shu from feeling embarrassed or having his self-esteem hurt.
He wasn’t a complete novice either.
Hmm-hmm.
After finishing dinner, Gu Chenyan went upstairs. Qiao Shu thought he went to work, but to his surprise, Gu Chenyan came down again shortly.
He was holding a box in his hands.
Gu Chenyan walked up to Qiao Shu and handed him the box: “A gift for you.”
Qiao Shu, pleasantly surprised, widened his eyes, “For me, really?”
Gu Chenyan: “Hmm.”
“I bought it during the last business trip.”
Qiao Shu happily took it. He couldn’t wait to unwrap the outer packaging, revealing the box inside. He was pleasantly surprised and quickly opened the box, finding a game console and other accessories inside.
Qiao Shu was familiar with this gaming set.
It had trended when it was released, and at that time, Qiao Shu had thought of buying it to play after finishing filming.
Unexpectedly…
Joyful excitement surged.
The feeling of having something you wanted but hadn’t bought yet delivered right to you was truly delightful, especially when it was a gift from Gu Chenyan.
Qiao Shu: “How did you know I wanted to play this?”
Gu Chenyan sincerely replied, “I wanted to buy a gift for you, and it was recommended by Assistant Chen.”
Assistant Chen, huh.
But it didn’t matter; the most important thing was that Gu Chenyan wanted to buy him a gift!
Gu Chenyan: “As long as you like it.”
Qiao Shu: “Definitely like it.”
Gu Chenyan ruffled his hair, “Wanna give it a try?”
Qiao Shu happily took the box to set up the game. Installing the system wasn’t difficult; Qiao Shu worked on it for a while in the living room. Soon, it was ready on the TV.
He sat cross-legged in front of the TV, gripping the game console.
Gu Chenyan frowned slightly, “Qiao Shu.”
Qiao Shu looked up, “Hmm?”
Gu Chenyan: “You can get up first.”
Qiao Shu stood up curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Chenyan: “The floor is cold; wait a moment.”
Gu Chenyan found a cushion, placed it on the floor, and gestured for Qiao Shu to sit, “Tomorrow, I’ll have someone come to lay a carpet.”
Qiao Shu chuckled.
He extended an invitation, “Want to play with me?”
Gu Chenyan: “I don’t know how to play. I’ll just watch you.”
Qiao Shu felt a bit regretful. But having Gu Chenyan by his side still made him happy.
Playing games with someone else felt entirely different from playing alone as he did in the past.
It was sweet and satisfying.
Playing the game felt like having a buff, making him fearless and powerful, even though he was eventually defeated by the boss in the second level.
Qiao Shu: “Hmph, in this new game, I’ll clear the level in no time!”
Gu Chenyan: “Hmm.”
Gu Chenyan was still busy, so after spending some time accompanying Qiao Shu in the game, he went to his study to work.
Without anyone to accompany him, Qiao Shu suddenly felt less enthusiastic. After playing a bit more, he went back to his room to take a shower and then focused on reading the script.
Notes were written down on the script’s pages.
He then opened his WeChat to check for messages.
Jiang Jiayu: What should we eat?
Jiang Jiayu: (pats head) Hotpot? BBQ? Boiled fish? Chicken hotpot?
Jiang Jiayu: Ah! After shooting for so long, I’m craving everything! Qiao Qiao, your poor Yu Yu is suffering from decision-making difficulties.
Jiang Jiayu: He’s too pitiful.
Qiao Shu chuckled as he read the messages. He put down the script and typed on his phone: It’s okay; you still have two days to decide.
Jiang Jiayu: I also wanted to ask what you want to eat.
Qiao Shu: Honestly.
Qiao Shu: I also suffer from decision-making difficulties.
Jiang Jiayu: …
Qiao Shu: …
In the study.
Gu Chenyan lowered his gaze after finishing reading a document, then turned his head and took the warm tea from the side, taking a sip.
Although he should have continued working, Chen Wenyuan suddenly sent Gu Chenyan a message.
It was a screenshot.
The chat records of employees in the company’s main group.
Gu Chenyan opened it.
In the company’s main group, it had been lively since Qiao Shu arrived yesterday.
Various messages kept popping up.
People discussing relationships, curious ones, speculations… and some planning to send gifts to celebrate Gu Chenyan finally being taken off the singles’ market.
Gu Chenyan: …
Am I really of a marriageable age? Gu Chenyan suddenly felt a lack of confidence.
However, the chat screenshot Chen Wenyuan sent was different from the previous content.
【xx1: Poor me is still working overtime, President Gu has already gone home with his wife to sleep.
xx2: Sleep? Are you sure it’s this early?
xx3: You don’t understand. It’s a verb.
xx2: Who doesn’t know that?
xx12: President Gu and his wife’s sugar is so sweet. Today, the wife personally brought small flowers to President Gu. During the meeting in the afternoon, President Gu became gentle. Thanks to the wife for saving my dog’s life.
xx108: By the way, I think I know who the wife is…
xx16: Who is it?
xx18: Who is it?
xx108: The wife is named Qiao Shu, a small celebrity. You can search for his pictures on the internet. He’s not that famous, though. Don’t know how he hooked up with President Gu. Hehe…
xx108: Heard that people in the entertainment industry are quite dirty.】
Gu Chenyan’s eyes darkened.
Gu Chenyan: Handle it. Don’t let them spread it. As for this person…
Qiao Shu hasn’t publicly revealed their relationship, and Gu Chenyan respects that. He may not understand the entertainment industry well, but he knows that publicizing relationships or marriages can severely impact their careers.
Especially since Qiao Shu has recently gained some popularity in the entertainment industry.
Chen Wenyuan: Yes, sir.
Chen Wenyuan: The person has been removed from the group, and I’ve informed the administrative department.
Gu Chenyan: Hmm.
Gu Chenyan: Give him a warning, tell him not to speak recklessly.
Chen Wenyuan: Understood.
In fact, on Qiao Shu’s first day at the company, Gu Chenyan had instructed Chen Wenyuan to pin an announcement in the group, hinting at Qiao Shu’s identity without spreading it outside.
Unexpectedly, someone today not only disregarded this but also targeted Qiao Shu.
Such behavior is naturally intolerable.
The company group fell into silence due to the comments made by user 108, until Chen Wenyuan intervened. He promptly kicked the person out of the group and, later, addressed all members with a serious and lengthy message.
Although serious, his message lightened the atmosphere in the group.
Simultaneously, Chen Wenyuan obtained 108’s phone number from the administrative department and, from a legal perspective, issued a stern warning, instructing the person to settle their salary at the finance department the next morning.
An employee insulting the wife, no matter how talented, won’t be retained by Gu’s company.
While this matter was resolved swiftly, Gu Chenyan remained where he was.
He stared at the chat log for a while, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
The entertainment industry is not an easy place to navigate.
To become famous in the entertainment industry, one must possess either acting skills, an attractive face, luck, or the backing of influential figures. In today’s entertainment industry, luck and influential connections are considered the most crucial.
Equally important is the individual’s mindset. Once someone becomes famous, they are bound to face online criticism, malicious comments, and various challenges that can negatively impact their mental well-being. Marketing strategies fueled by sensationalism can exacerbate the situation.
His little wife would have to go through all of this.
During the previous incident when Qiao Shu was trending due to criticism related to Zhou Yanqing, Gu Chenyan didn’t think much of it. He could easily resolve Qiao Shu’s issues, which made him overlook how dirty online battles could be.
However, this time, he confronted it directly.
Facing such dirty words and speculations, Gu Chenyan pursed his lips. He wondered how much sadness and heartache his little wife would experience upon seeing such comments.
Did his little wife secretly shed tears in a place he couldn’t see because of these hurtful words?
Gu Chenyan couldn’t bear the thought.
He felt that he should do something in advance. He picked up his phone and called Chen Wenyuan. Later, he made another call to Zhou Yanqing.
Qiao Shu, in the room, remained oblivious to what was happening in the company group chat. He had no knowledge of the actions Gu Chenyan took afterward.
Qiao Shu and Jiang Jiayu pondered for a long time about what to eat. They couldn’t come to a decision and ultimately decided to wait until they woke up to make a choice.
As the saying goes, “Daytime thoughts lead to nighttime dreams”. Perhaps tonight, they would dream about the contents of a grand feast related to this topic. What appeared in their dreams would undoubtedly be what they most desired to eat.
Jiang Jiayu: Let’s decide tomorrow.
Qiao Shu: Let’s decide tomorrow.
Jiang Jiayu went to freshen up, while Qiao Shu continued to read the script, making notes and doodles on it. At eleven o’clock, Gu Chenyan returned from the study.
Tonight, Gu Chenyan seemed a bit unhappy.
Qiao Shu looked at the man who had just finished showering, blinking in confusion. What happened?
Gu Chenyan: “Qiao Shu.”
Qiao Shu: “Hmm?”
Gu Chenyan: “I’m sorry for making you feel wronged.”
Qiao Shu blinked, “???”. He sincerely said, “What’s wrong? I don’t feel wronged.”
Gu Chenyan didn’t say anything. He walked to Qiao Shu’s side and gently rubbed his head, running his fingers through the soft hair.
Qiao Shu was puzzled.
So, he swallowed and asked, “Gu Chenyan, are you unhappy?”
Gu Chenyan: “Hmm.”
Qiao Shu: “Why?”
Gu Chenyan: “I haven’t taken good care of you.”
“Qiao Shu.”
“Hmm?”
“Let me hug you.”
Qiao Shu blushed and whispered, “Okay.”
He knelt on the bed and pounced into Gu Chenyan’s arms, burying his face in Gu Chenyan’s chest.
Qiao Shu: “Is this okay?”
Gu Chenyan: “Hmm.”
The two embraced quietly, one standing by the bed, the other kneeling on it.
Gentle and serene.
After a while, Qiao Shu looked up at the man, “Gu Chenyan.”
“Hmm?”
Qiao Shu: “You don’t need to be unhappy. You take good care of me.”
“Really.”
Gu Chenyan: “Qiao Shu, it’s not enough.”
“I want you to be even better.”
To want everything Qiao Shu likes, to see Qiao Shu realizing his dreams amidst flowers and applause, and to keep him away from any dirty words and people – that was what Gu Chenyan desired. However, he had overlooked something before.
During the days he neglected these aspects, did Qiao Shu sometimes open Weibo and receive hateful private messages? Zhou Yanqing mentioned he often received such messages.
Would Qiao Shu feel wronged, want to cry, feel sad, or even become depressed when he saw those messages? Zhou Yanqing said those in the entertainment industry with weaker mental resilience were prone to depression, and he mentioned a few A-list stars who visited a psychologist regularly.
Qiao Shu was puzzled. Why did Gu Chenyan suddenly feel this way? He blinked, his eyes filled with confusion.
There was also a sense of gratitude.
Undoubtedly, Gu Chenyan felt this way because of him. His Mr. Gu said he wanted him to live a better life.
Qiao Shu, who felt content and happy every day since transmigrating, counted on his fingers, saying, “Gu Chenyan, look, I’m happy every day.”
He tilted his head, “So, Gu Chenyan, don’t be unhappy. Don’t put pressure on yourself.”
“I’m very happy.”
“And very satisfied.”
“You’ve taken care of me so well”
Gu Chenyan looked at Qiao Shu, and after a while, he lowered his head to plant a kiss on Qiao Shu’s forehead, “Qiao Shu, I will protect you.”
Qiao Shu’s heart warmed.
Kneeling on the bed, he tilted his head, unable to control the rising heartbeat and overflowing love, then kissed Gu Chenyan passionately.
Gu Chenyan was momentarily stunned.
Qiao Shu: “Husband, your Little Mr. Qiao wants a kiss.”
Gu Chenyan: “Alright.”
Qiao Shu really liked Gu Chenyan’s kisses, domineering yet gentle. Every time, they made him tremble and his heart race. Even though it was Qiao Shu’s lips that Gu Chenyan held, his tongue that was teased, and his mouth that was invaded, Qiao Shu felt like it was his heart that Gu Chenyan held, teased, and invaded.
His heart beat violently because of Gu Chenyan, now more vibrant than ever.
Qiao Shu loved this feeling and was addicted to it.
The kiss continued.
Qiao Shu’s eyelashes trembled intensely, his face flushed like it was adorned with rouge. Tilting his head, he held Gu Chenyan tightly, his toes curling with force.
The fingertips were round and blushing.
Qiao Shu: “Gu Chenyan—”
Gu Chenyan: “Hmm?”
The kiss now turned into pecks, landing delicately on Qiao Shu’s lips and cheeks.
Qiao Shu: “I want you to be happy.”
Gu Chenyan: “Okay.”
Qiao Shu smiled.
The eyes, shimmering with a seductive water-like glow, seemed to be filled with stars, making Gu Chenyan’s heart pound.
Gu Chenyan’s gaze deepened, “Qiao Shu.”
Qiao Shu: “Here.”
Gu Chenyan: “Is it okay?”
Qiao Shu’s cheeks were burning, his eyes filled with shyness and affection. He nodded, and in a soft voice, he said, “Mr. Gu, actually, your Little Mr. Qiao can’t hold back either. He wants to pounce on you.”
The response was Qiao Shu being pounced on by Gu Chenyan.
The night was long, and the affection was deep.

“All Eyes Are Waiting to See Me Get Dumped [Rebirth]” BY Xian Yi
After rebirth, in order to quickly rise to the top, Ruan Ning’an hooked up with his former partner, the current international movie emperor, Ji Duo.
Everyone told Ruan Ning’an that Ji Duo had a white moonlight in his heart and that he was just treating him as a substitute.
Ruan Ning’an didn’t care, even cooperating to say: I was only seeking a bright future, and once Ji Duo got tired of me, he would leave immediately without entanglement.
This statement finally reached Ji Duo’s ears.
A man who has always been low-key and reserved, rarely discussing his private life on social media, broke his usual pattern by publicly stating: “Can you all calm down? The person I worked so hard to pursue has been scared away by your actions. What should I do?”
This statement sent shockwaves through the entire entertainment industry.
Ruan Ning’an, who had always thought he took the initiative, was left bewildered: “???”
#I’m making a substitute for myself#
#The feeling of changing from being younger to being older is really sour and refreshing#
【You are my white moonlight and red rose, the eternal vermilion mole in my heart. I loved you in the past, now, and in the future. I love only you, forever.】
A non-typical substitute plot, mixing sentimental drama with a sarcastic and reserved tone.
Emotional, leaning towards joyful daily life, with a dose of sweet and pampering moments~
