Chapter 180: If You Like Him, Don’t Refuse
It was indeed as Chen Zirui said; Xiang Wanxing didn’t come to the apartment to grab Chen Zirui again. Chen Zirui stayed there for a week and gradually adapted.
He had a sweet mouth and was especially good at coaxing Xie Miaohan. He could always accurately say what Xie Miaohan wanted to hear, making the corners of Xie Miaohan’s mouth turn up several times.
He also helped share the housework, practically taking over dishwashing and mopping.
During the day when Xie Miaohan wasn’t around, Gu Huaiye and Chen Zirui stayed in the living room, each with a laptop, researching the market demands of District B.
Gu Huaiye also coordinated with his uncle online to understand the current internal situation of the Gu Group.
His uncle knew Gu Huaiye wanted to move the Gu Group to District B. However, being older, he couldn’t bear to leave his friends and relatives in District A, so he planned to stay in District A to manage the Gu Group’s subsidiaries.
Gu Huaiye respected his uncle’s decision and told him that if he wanted to send his children to study in District B in the future, he just needed to ask, and Gu Huaiye would handle it.
Having an extra person in the apartment was indeed inconvenient at times.
Gu Huaiye, afraid the soundproofing wasn’t good, rejected Xie Miaohan several times, forcing Xie Miaohan to look at him with resentful eyes every day.
“I really want to go to bed with you,” Xie Miaohan said softly, kissing Gu Huaiye’s neck. “Brother, please?”
Gu Huaiye quickly pushed his head away. “Didn’t we agree? While Chen Zirui is staying here, don’t call me Brother. Otherwise, he’ll misunderstand and think we’re playing some weird games.”
Xie Miaohan lifted his face, biting his lip and glaring at him.
Gu Huaiye kissed Xie Miaohan’s cheek somewhat grumpily. “I don’t want you to disappear; I like Xiaohan very much. It’s just that others don’t know our situation. Hearing it would only cause misunderstandings.”
He was really going to go crazy.
They were clearly the same person, but now it felt like he was coaxing two people.
He was really afraid that if this continued, he would be the one getting a split personality.
“Alright.” Xie Miaohan curved his lips. “I’ll listen to Bro… Huaiye.”
“Sleep.” Gu Huaiye pulled Xie Miaohan onto the bed and covered them both with the quilt. “Do you have a meeting tomorrow morning?”
“Yeah. Xiang Wanxing’s brother is finished. We have to prepare the next steps.” Xie Miaohan paused, then said, “We’ll be able to bring Dad over very soon. Then you won’t be all alone anymore.”
Gu Huaiye smiled. “I have you; how could I be alone?”
“I’m not here during the day.”
“I have Chen Zirui to keep me company.”
Xie Miaohan pressed his lips together, looking at Gu Huaiye with alert eyes.
“Brother, when I’m not around, you two must keep a distance.”
Gu Huaiye was slightly stunned, then turned over and looked down into Xie Miaohan’s eyes.
He raised his hand and pinched Xie Miaohan’s cheek. “Miaomiao, don’t use ‘Xiaohan’s’ tone to remind me of this. So you’re still worried? He’s about to marry Xiang Wanxing.”
Gu Huaiye had almost figured out the routine. “Xiaohan” was like Xie Miaohan’s shadow side. Whenever he wanted to do something naughty but feared Gu Huaiye would be angry, he would bring out “Xiaohan.”
At first, Gu Huaiye was fooled, but now he wouldn’t fall for it so easily.
“They aren’t married yet,” Xie Miaohan whispered.
“I feel Chen Zirui likes him.” Gu Huaiye sighed. “At first, I thought it was because of family background, but now it doesn’t seem like that.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have indulged Xiang Wanxing time and time again.
“Anyway, I don’t care.” Xie Miaohan rubbed against Gu Huaiye’s neck, acting spoiled. “Brother isn’t allowed to get too close to him.”
“Didn’t I tell you not to pretend to be ‘Xiaohan’?”
“But Brother said we are the same person. How can this be considered pretending?”
Gu Huaiye: “……”
Good grief.
Playing with logical loopholes now, are we?
Half a year passed unknowingly, and good news came from the Xiang family: Xiang Wanxing’s eldest brother was actually imprisoned.
According to Xie Miaohan, Xiang Wanxing’s brother had offended the royal family and was slapped with a pile of charges. He probably wouldn’t have a chance to get out in this lifetime.
With this, Xiang Wanxing becoming the head of the Xiang family was a certainty.
“I’ve already obtained the relevant permits,” Xie Miaohan said with a smile. “We can move the company to District B.”
When Gu Huaiye heard this news, he felt a momentary sense of unreality.
Originally, they came to District B to be Chen Zirui’s support. Later, when Chen Zirui left the army, they were already part of the game and couldn’t extricate themselves, so they had to stay.
But he didn’t expect that in such a short time, they would actually obtain the qualifications to open a company here.
Thinking about it carefully, Miaomiao was truly impressive. No matter what he did, he could achieve results.
In the past, Gu Huaiye would have been very jealous of Xie Miaohan’s ability. Now, only admiration remained.
In the evening, they had dinner to celebrate. Chen Zirui was somewhat silent.
Gu Huaiye put down his wine glass and looked at Chen Zirui with puzzlement.
“What’s wrong? You’re so quiet today.” Gu Huaiye smiled. “You’ll soon be managing hundreds of employees. Aren’t you happy?”
Chen Zirui shook his head and picked up the cigarettes on the dining table.
“Brother Gu, Sister-in-law, you guys keep eating. I’m going to the balcony for a smoke.”
Gu Huaiye and Xie Miaohan exchanged a glance, then Gu Huaiye stood up and followed him.
He came to Chen Zirui’s side, took a cigarette, and held it in his mouth.
“Is it about Xiang Wanxing again?”
Chen Zirui paused in his smoking motion and slowly nodded.
“Yeah.”
Gu Huaiye lowered his head to light the cigarette and said indifferently, “Preparing to accept his proposal?”
Chen Zirui turned his head to look at him in surprise.
“Brother Gu, how did you know?”
Gu Huaiye smiled. “It’s easy to guess. I saw you chatting with him downstairs from the balcony this afternoon for a long time. I guessed you might be about to accept.”
During this period, Xiang Wanxing indeed hadn’t come to disturb them again.
But flowers arrived every day, and the love words on the cards were explicit and bold.
Once, Gu Huaiye accidentally glimpsed the text on one and blushed for a long time.
—I miss you so much, I wish I could f*ck you to death right now.
To be honest, Gu Huaiye now agreed with Chen Zirui’s assessment of Xiang Wanxing.
A mutant Omega.
One could say he didn’t seem like an Omega at all.
If not for the inhibitor patch on the back of his neck, probably few people would realize he was an Omega.
“He proposed to me again this afternoon.” Chen Zirui smiled helplessly, thinking of something. “Before, to force him to give up, I told him I couldn’t stand being wronged and wouldn’t listen to their Xiang family rules. If he had the ability to become the family head, then he could come propose to me.”
“I didn’t expect he actually did it,” Chen Zirui said. “He came running today demanding I fulfill my promise.”
“Then what do you think?”
Chen Zirui stubbed out the cigarette, turned around, and stared earnestly at Gu Huaiye.
“I think I must have fallen in love with him.” A smile appeared in Chen Zirui’s eyes. “Brother Gu, besides you, he treats me the best. After being with him, I finally live like a human being; I can have whatever I want.”
He originally thought Xiang Wanxing was a playboy who would leave when he got bored.
But after persisting for so long, his view of Xiang Wanxing had long since changed.
“If you like him, don’t refuse,” Gu Huaiye said, rubbing Chen Zirui’s head. “That’s great. You can finally be safe and sound for a lifetime.”
“What do you mean?” Chen Zirui looked puzzled.
Gu Huaiye smiled. “Nothing. Let’s go out and eat.”
“Okay.”
Less than a day after Chen Zirui accepted Xiang Wanxing’s proposal, Xiang Wanxing couldn’t wait to run to the apartment to pick Chen Zirui up.
After the two left, Xie Miaohan pressed Gu Huaiye onto the sofa.
“Brother, I’ve endured for half a year. It’s time to reward me.”
Gu Huaiye: “……”
I’m finished.
