The Tycoon's Little Darling: Uncle, you're going to spoil me rotten!

Chapter 16 Returning Home

Standing beside the car, seeing her parents bathed in the dazzling sunlight, Gu Nuannuan cleared her throat, a sweet smile spreading across her face, her eyes curving like crescent moons. "Mom and Dad, Chen Yu and I are back."

Jiang Chenyu went to the trunk to get the gift. When he walked over, he was momentarily stunned by the expression on her face and the smile in her eyes.

A girl's smile can be so genuinely faked.

It's sweet, warm, delicate yet playful.

Jiang Chenyu was deeply moved. For him, it was a luxury to genuinely smile at his family, free from worldly formalities and pretense. For her, however, it was effortless.

When Gu Nuannuan ran towards her mother, she opened her arms and gave her parents a big hug.

Jiang Chenyu, carrying gifts in both hands, followed closely behind. "Hurry inside, it's drying outside."

Father Gu called everyone back home.

In the living room, Gu Nuannuan was sharing how great life was at the Jiang family home. "Mom and Dad, I've finally realized how free it is to be married. I can sleep in as late as I want, and Chen Yu doesn't care."

Jiang Chenyu, standing beside her, remained silent. He simply curled his lips into a smile, using it to testify to the truth of Gu Nuannuan's words.

In fact, he never returned to the marital home to stay overnight.

She acted very convincingly, and returned to her usual chattering self.

As the son-in-law, Jiang Chenyu couldn't remain silent, so he asked, "Mom and Dad, where's Xiaohan?"

Mrs. Gu replied, "His school hasn't let out for holiday yet."

Gu Xiaohan is Gu Nuannuan's younger brother, 17 years old, studying abroad. His family has kept his sister's marriage a secret from him.

Jiang Chenyu said, "I heard from Xiaonuan that Xiaohan has always wanted to go back to China to study at university." Gu Nuannuan turned her head, looked at Jiang Chenyu's profile, and wondered, "She said that?"

Madam Gu replied, "That's true, but the pressure of the college entrance examination in China is too great, unlike the relaxed atmosphere abroad. We don't want him to return."

Her younger brother wants to go back to China to take the college entrance exam? How come she didn't know about this!

"Nuan Nuan, stop watching Chen Yu. You watch him at home, and you still watch him at your parents' house. Come on, come with Mom to the kitchen." Madam Gu smiled and took her daughter's hand.

Gu Nuannuan blushed, "I didn't~"

She was dragged away.

The living room was occupied by the father-in-law and son-in-law.

Since they had nothing to say about personal matters, Jiang Chenyu took the initiative to ask about official business.

Jiang Chenyu thought about how the Gu family had rejected 15 projects from companies in a row, and asked doubtfully, "Dad, I heard that you rejected 15 projects from companies in a row. Is it because you lack funds and materials? If so, you can tell me."

Father Gu waved his hand, "That's not the case. Chen Yu, you and I both know perfectly well where those 15 contracts came from. They were simply trying to curry favor with the Jiang family and using me as a middleman. If I had accepted them, I would have been selling my daughter for personal gain, going to great lengths to send her to the Jiang family just for the Gu family's wealth and glory. So, I didn't accept them."

Firstly, it's to tell everyone that the Gu family doesn't rely on the Jiang Group. We do what we are capable of and never covet what doesn't belong to us. Secondly, it's also to tell you that we don't accept favors from the Jiang family, and please don't have any ulterior motives towards Nuannuan. Respect her and treat her as an equal.

Jiang Chenyu hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and Gu's father's words made him blush.

It turns out that the Gu family went to great lengths to marry their daughter to him not for wealth and status, but even to avoid certain projects in order to preserve their daughter's reputation in the Jiang family.

"Dad, you love Xiaonuan so much, so why did you agree to let her marry me?" After all, the two have no emotional foundation, there's such a big age gap, and their social status is vastly different. Their relationship is simply absurd. Father Gu asked curiously, "Didn't Nuannuan tell you?"

Jiang Chenyu shook his head.
