He really dotes on me so much

Chapter 6: Homecoming

Beside the car, under the dazzling sunlight, with her throat clear, Gu Nuannuan's mouth curled up into a sweet smile, her eyes crescent-shaped like the moon. "Dad, mom, Chensan and I are back."

Jiang Chenyu went to the trunk to fetch the gifts. As he walked over, he briefly paused, seeing the expression on her face and the smile in her eyes.

A girl's smile could be so sincerely disguised.

Very sweet, very warm, a bit coquettish.

Jiang Chenyu was touched, devoid of worldly politeness and falsehood, she genuinely showed her smile to her family. For him, it was a luxury. For her, it was effortless.

When Gu Nuannuan rushed towards her mother, she opened her arms and hugged her parents tightly.

Jiang Chenyu followed, holding the gifts in his hands.

"Come inside, don't stay out in the sun," Gu's father shouted, leading everyone back into the house.

In the living room, Gu Nuannuan shared all the good things about her life at the Jiang family. "Mom, Dad, I've discovered the freedom of marriage. I can sleep until whatever time I want, and Chensan doesn't care."

Jiang Chenyu stood beside her, silent. He just smiled to confirm the truth of Gu Nuannuan's words.

In reality, he had never stayed overnight in their marital bed.

She pretended so well, returning to her chatty self.

As a son-in-law, Jiang Chenyu couldn't remain silent. He asked, "Mom, Dad, what about Xiaohan?"

Mrs. Gu replied, "His school hasn't finished yet."

Xiaohan was Gu Nuannuan's younger brother, 17 years old, studying abroad. The family kept her marriage a secret from him.

Jiang Chenyu said, "I heard from Nuannuan that Xiaohan has always wanted to return to China for university."

Gu Nuannuan turned her head, looking at Jiang Chenyu's profile, puzzled. Had she said that?

Mrs. Gu said, "That's true, but the pressure of the college entrance examination in China is too high. It's more relaxed overseas. We don't want him to come back."

Her brother wanted to return to China for university? How come she didn't know about this!

"Nuannuan, stop staring at Chensan. You stare at him at home, now at your parents' house too. Come on, go with Mom to the kitchen." Mrs. Gu smiled, pulling her daughter.

Gu Nuannuan blushed. "I'm not!"

She was dragged away.

In the living room, there were only the father-in-law and son-in-law left.

Private matters couldn't be discussed, so Jiang Chenyu took the initiative to ask about business.

Thinking of how the Gu family had turned down 15 projects in a row, Jiang Chenyu questioned, "Dad, I heard you've been rejecting projects from 15 companies in a row. Is it because of lack of funds and materials? If so, you can tell me."

Mr. Gu waved his hand. "Not really. Chensan, you and I both know where those 15 contracts came from. They just want to use the Jiang family's face to climb up the ladder and see me as a mediator. If I accepted, I'd be selling my daughter for glory, expending all efforts to send my daughter to the Jiang family just for the wealth and status of the Gu family. So, I declined. Firstly, to tell everyone that the Gu family doesn't rely on the Jiang Group. We do as much as we're capable of, and we never aspire to what doesn't belong to us. Secondly, I want to tell you all that we don't accept favors from the Jiang family, so please don't misunderstand Nuannuan, respect her, and treat her equally."
