After saying that, Qiao Shu pressed his forehead against Gu Chenyan’s forehead and affectionately rubbed his nose with him.
Gu Chenyan chuckled softly.
Their breaths intertwined.
In an instant, the people around them seemed to be shielded from their unity.
After a while, Qiao Shu smiled and disengaged from Gu Chenyan.
He casually glanced at the two women, who were cleverly blocked by Zhou Yanqing, unable to leave and looking unpleasant. Only then did he remember his purpose. Then, he coquettishly wrapped his arms around Gu Chenyan’s arm and said, “Husband, can you feed me the milk tea?”
Qiao Shu: “Little Mr. Qiao can’t hold the cup.”
Gu Chenyan naturally noticed Qiao Shu’s little move. He pinched Qiao Shu’s nose, “Sure.”
Quite cooperative.
Gu Chenyan sat on a nearby chair, stretched his long arm, and pulled Qiao Shu onto his lap. He took the cup of milk tea and offered the straw to Qiao Shu’s lips.
Qiao Shu happily took a sip.
The milk tea was a bit light in sweetness for Qiao Shu’s taste, but he still enjoyed it because Gu Chenyan brought it.
Naturally sweet.
Qiao Shu: “It’s delicious.”
Qiao Shu: “You have some too.”
Qiao Shu nudged Gu Chenyan’s hand. He adjusted the straw and aimed it at Gu Chenyan’s mouth.
Gu Chenyan naturally took a sip.
Then he handed the milk tea to Qiao Shu.
The two women watching from the side were shocked and displeased.
Who didn’t know that Gu Chenyan, the richest man in Haicheng, was cold and ruthless, with a severe case of cleanliness?
No one was allowed close to him.
He wouldn’t touch any food that others had touched.
What were they seeing now?
Gu Chenyan was intimately holding Qiao Shu. His cold demeanor toward outsiders melted into a smile, as he indulgently fed him with just a word from Qiao Shu.
And, he even drank from the milk tea Qiao Shu had drunk from? And used the same straw!
How could this be a sign of a bad relationship?
This was clearly a sign of a very good relationship, where someone was being spoiled to the heavens!
The two women remembered their words just now and the baseless speculations. Their cheeks burned as if slapped, feeling a mix of anger, jealousy, and resentment.
Why did this worthless little starlet deserve such favor from Gu Chenyan?
They wanted to leave.
But they also unwillingly wanted to stay and see just how much Gu Chenyan could spoil Qiao Shu.
Qiao Shu didn’t even glance at the two women. He was too busy enjoying his milk tea and sitting happily swinging his legs in Gu Chenyan’s embrace.
Qiao Shu: “Is it delicious?”
Gu Chenyan: “Yes.”
Gu Chenyan: “A bit sweet.”
Qiao Shu laughed joyfully, “Then why did you say ‘Yes’? You clearly don’t like sweet things, yet you always eat when I feed you.”
Qiao Shu: “Mr. Gu, you’re so silly.”
Gu Chenyan: “Then why do you still feed me?”
Qiao Shu tilted his head, not explaining, “I just wanted to feed you.”
After a moment of thought, he added, “Mr. Gu always seems to find these foods tastier after eating them.”
Qiao Shu: “I want to eat with Mr. Gu.”
Gu Chenyan: “Such a domineering Little Mr. Qiao.”
Qiao Shu took a sip of milk tea, proudly saying, “Just domineering.”
Gu Chenyan chuckled softly.
The milk tea that Gu Chenyan brought for Qiao Shu was only half a cup, with little volume. Qiao Shu finished it in just a few sips.
Qiao Shu looked at the bottom of the cup, with only a few pearls left, and pouted, “Mr. Gu, cutting corners huh?”
Qiao Shu: “It’s just a little bit.”
Gu Chenyan raised an eyebrow, “I thought you knew.”
Qiao Shu: “?”
Gu Chenyan: “You just shared a sip with me earlier.”
Qiao Shu: “…”
Qiao Shu: “Hmph!”
Qiao Shu: “That’s another matter.”
Qiao Shu: “I already shared with Mr. Gu. Yet, Mr. Gu is so stingy, only giving a little bit of milk tea to Little Mr. Qiao.”
Gu Chenyan pinched Qiao Shu’s cheek, imitating Qiao Shu’s boldness, “Just stingy.”
Qiao Shu: “…”
He pouted, “Mr. Gu!”
And he bit down on Gu Chenyan’s chin, grinding his teeth in annoyance, “You’ve become naughty!”
Gu Chenyan’s chest shook with suppressed laughter. He held Qiao Shu’s waist and gently patted him, “Alright, alright, Little Mr. Qiao, don’t be angry.”
Qiao Shu: “I’m still angry!”
Qiao Shu: “I’ll even leave teeth marks on you so you can’t show your face later and embarrass you.”
Qiao Shu: “Hmph!”
Gu Chenyan chuckled again, “Are you sure it will embarrass me?”
Qiao Shu: “?”
Gu Chenyan: “When they ask me about this teeth mark later, what should I say, Little Mr. Qiao?”
Gu Chenyan: “How about saying it’s the love mark left by my beloved little husband? What do you think of this answer?”
Gu Chenyan: “I think it’s not bad.”
Qiao Shu: “…”
Qiao Shu pondered this scenario for a moment, then his cheeks quickly turned red.
Qiao Shu: “Mr. Gu!”
He dared not bite anymore. Qiao Shu quickly let go of Gu Chenyan’s chin. He was still feeling a bit annoyed but emboldened, he held Gu Chenyan’s cheeks with both hands.
Qiao Shu: “Hmph!”
Qiao Shu: “You’re so naughty!”
Zhou Yanqing beside them was choked by the warm display of affection. He looks at the two women next to him.
He saw their faces becoming increasingly unpleasant, even showing a twisted expression.
Zhou Yanqing: Oh, damn!
They’re really worked up.
He couldn’t help but gloat: ‘Indeed, Sister-in-law was awesome. Is this what they mean by “villains have their own dog food”?’
Zhou Yanqing’s mind was in a mess. He quickly turned on his heels and ran away, unable to stomach the dog food anymore.
Too much to handle.
Meanwhile, the two women watched as Qiao Shu interacted with Gu Chenyan, not only without anger but also playfully teasing him. They were so jealous they wanted to rush forward and pull Qiao Shu away from Gu Chenyan!
Why him!
Why did Qiao Shu get such affection from Gu Chenyan!
Clearly, he was just an ordinary person and a man at that! He didn’t even have a strong background.
Their own father didn’t even dote on their mother like this.
What did Qiao Shu have that they didn’t?
Jealousy contorted their faces. If not for a shred of remaining sanity, the two of them would have charged forward.
They were so angry they wanted to leave, but they held onto a subtle desire to stay and continued to torture themselves by watching the intimate interaction between the two.
At the same time, there was a slight fantasy, hoping that Gu Chenyan would notice them.
But from beginning to end, Gu Chenyan’s gaze remained fixed on Qiao Shu.
With his cheeks pulled on either side, Gu Chenyan showed no sign of anger, only resignation.
Gu Chenyan: “I was wrong.”
Gu Chenyan: “Can Little Mr. Qiao forgive me?”
Qiao Shu: “Hmph!”
Gu Chenyan: “I really was wrong.” He leaned in mischievously and kissed Qiao Shu’s lips.
Qiao Shu: “…”
Qiao Shu: “Alright, I reluctantly forgive you.”
He couldn’t help but laugh.
Gu Chenyan: “Thanks for being so forgiving, Little Mr. Qiao.” With a gentle smile, he picked up the milk tea cup and scooped out the black pearls inside with a spoon. “Ah.”
Qiao Shu happily ate them.
As he ate, he curiously lowered his head to count inside the cup, “One, two, three… eight.”
Qiao Shu: “There really are eight pearls.”
Gu Chenyan: “Hmm.”
Gu Chenyan: “How was it?”
Qiao Shu: “Hmm.”
Gu Chenyan: “My reward?”
Qiao Shu leaned in to kiss Gu Chenyan, then opened his mouth again, “Ah.”
Gu Chenyan patiently continued to feed him.
After finishing the pearls, Gu Chenyan set the cup down and took a tissue to wipe Qiao Shu’s mouth.
Qiao Shu obediently enjoyed it.
A waiter came in to inform them that the auction was about to begin. Gu Chenyan nodded and the waiter left.
Qiao Shu hopped off the ground. “Let’s go.”
Gu Chenyan: “Wait.”
He stood up, bent down, and carefully adjusted Qiao Shu’s little suit.
Gu Chenyan: “Done.”
Gu Chenyan: “Little Mister looks really handsome.”
Qiao Shu proudly smiled.
Their hands naturally intertwined, the warmth of their palms blending together.
They walked towards the venue.
After a few steps, Qiao Shu noticed that the two women who had spoken ill of him were still there, glaring at him with unfriendly looks.
Qiao Shu: “…”
They hadn’t left yet?
Qiao Shu blinked.
Gu Chenyan also noticed the two women. He furrowed his brow, his gaze turning cold.
The two women caught Gu Chenyan’s gaze and couldn’t help but shiver, but quickly regained their composure. They flirtatiously tossed their hair and smiled at Gu Chenyan, saying, “Mr. Gu, what a coincidence.”
However, Gu Chenyan only glanced at them before wrapping his arm around Qiao Shu and walking towards the inner hall.
As if he hadn’t seen them.
Or heard them.
The smiles on the faces of the two women froze.
On the other hand, Qiao Shu took a few more steps before stopping again. He deliberately raised his voice a bit and called out, “Husband~”
Gu Chenyan: “Hmm?”
His gaze softened.
Qiao Shu smiled, “I heard there are many high-quality jade pieces at tonight’s auction.”
Gu Chenyan: “Do you like jade?”
Gu Chenyan: “I’ll bid for you.”
Qiao Shu nodded coquettishly, “I heard the sound of jade shattering is especially pleasing.”
Qiao Shu: “The better the quality, the more pleasing the sound.”
Qiao Shu: “I want to hear it.”
Gu Chenyan chuckled softly, “Alright.”
Gu Chenyan: “I’ll bid for them all later.”
Qiao Shu jumped with joy, “Honey, you’re the best.” Then he deliberately smirked at the two women, successfully earning a glare from both of them.
Qiao Shu made a face at them.
This made the two women even more furious.
After making faces, Qiao Shu ignored them and happily skipped away with Gu Chenyan.
The two women stomped in anger until a gust of wind snapped them out of it.
Only then did they realize that Qiao Shu had heard their words from the beginning and had deliberately flaunted his affection to spite them.
They gritted their teeth in frustration.
But there was nothing they could do.
Because Gu Chenyan really does spoil people.
So annoying!
Gu Chenyan chuckled and pinched Qiao Shu’s cheeks, “Happy now?”
Qiao Shu smiled, “Of course.”
Those two people coveted his husband, so he must be happy to have gotten on their nerves.
Qiao Shu smugly hummed twice.
Then, his eyes suddenly turned cold as he glared at Gu Chenyan.
Gu Chenyan: “?”
Qiao Shu: “Hmph.”
Qiao Shu: “Flirting with others.”
Qiao Shu: “Not being faithful.”
After saying this, he burst into cheerful laughter.
Gu Chenyan helplessly pinched Qiao Shu’s cheeks again, “Little Mr. Qiao, you’re accusing me wrongly.”
Qiao Shu: “How so?”
Qiao Shu: “Just now, they were trying to get your attention while I was here. Mr. Gu is indeed popular.”
As he said this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit sour.
Even though he knew Gu Chenyan wouldn’t even spare those people a glance, he still felt sour.
Sour for no reason.
Even looking at Gu Chenyan made him feel sour.
Why does he have to be so good-looking?
Why does he have to be so rich?
Qiao Shu pouted.
He was just cheerful a moment ago, but now he suddenly felt inexplicably sour and wronged.
Gu Chenyan sighed.
Ignoring the gazes around them, he suddenly stopped walking and pulled Qiao Shu into his arms, his warm lips touching his ear, “Little husband.”
Qiao Shu glanced at him with a sense of grievance.
Gu Chenyan whispered softly, “I’m always honest with you every day, Little Mr. Qiao.”
Gu Chenyan: “Please don’t misunderstand me.”
Qiao Shu: “…”
Immediately, he reached up and covered Gu Chenyan’s mouth.
What’s there to be sour about?
The sense of grievance quickly evaporated, leaving his cheeks feeling hot.
Qiao Shu glanced nervously at the people around, feeling flustered. He feared that Gu Chenyan’s words might be overheard by someone.
That would be too embarrassing.
Qiao Shu: “No, no more!”
Gu Chenyan chuckled softly. He held Qiao Shu’s delicate wrist and gently kissed the palm of his hand, “One last thing.”
Qiao Shu was curious.
Gu Chenyan said seriously, “In Gu Chenyan’s heart, there is only Qiao Shu.” He emphasized, “I never spare others a glance.”
Gu Chenyan: “Not in the past.”
Gu Chenyan: “Not in the future.”
Gu Chenyan: “Only Qiao Shu.”
Gu Chenyan: “Only Little Mr. Qiao.”
As Qiao Shu sat down in his seat, his smile remained foolishly plastered on his face.
Gu Chenyan just confessed out of the blue.
Ah!
And in such a crowded place!
Qiao Shu covered his face.
So embarrassed.
How exciting.
The host on stage was reciting the usual opening remarks. Under the table, Qiao Shu hooked his pinky finger with Gu Chenyan’s.
Gu Chenyan looked down at him.
Qiao Shu leaned closer and whispered softly, “Mr. Gu, you said more than one thing just now.”
Gu Chenyan: “…”
Qiao Shu teased him, “Mr. Gu, you failed in math.”
Qiao Shu: “And also…”
Gu Chenyan raised an eyebrow.
Qiao Shu continued, “I only have eyes for you, Mr. Gu.”
The auction proceeded smoothly, with items being auctioned off one by one. Soon, the host presented a beautifully colored piece of jade.
Gu Chenyan, who had been silent like a mountain, suddenly raised his bidding card and made an offer.
Qiao Shu was taken aback.
Gu Chenyan noticed his gaze and whispered softly, “I’ll buy it all for you to smash and listen to.”
Gu Chenyan: “To annoy them.”
Qiao Shu: “…”
He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, teasingly saying, “Mr. Gu is truly extravagant, wasting treasures recklessly.”
Qiao Shu: “But…”
Qiao Shu: “I like it.”
While bidding, Qiao Shu tilted his head and kissed Gu Chenyan’s cheek in front of everyone.
Throughout the evening, whenever jade appeared at the auction, Gu Chenyan would unhesitatingly bid for it.
