Strawberry Pop Pop Pop chapter 84
The next morning.
With a hangover, Gu Nuan chased Han Yang around the room, demanding his phone while holding onto him tightly with red eyes.
“Brother, please, delete the video,” he sniffled, feeling so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole. “I won’t drink anymore, I promise!”
On Han Yang’s phone, the video from last night was playing – after they returned to the apartment, a drunken Gu Nuan kept calling Han Yang “son” and rolling around on the floor, insisting that Han Yang call him “dad.”
If Han Yang refused, he would threaten him, saying, “I’ll dance on the bed!”
Without hesitation, Han Yang didn’t understand what kind of threat this was, and he responded, “Okay, you can dance.”
So, with a dizzy head, Gu Nuan immediately stood on the bed, shouted, “Music!” and started dancing the cute bunny dance he learned in kindergarten. Every jump had an adorable smile, and every twist showcased a bunny-like wiggle.
This was the future heir of the Gu family’s group of companies.
If Gu Yuanchen were to see this video, he would probably kick Gu Nuan out of the family.
But given how much Gu Yuanchen spoiled Gu Nuan, he would probably ask Han Yang to make a copy of this video first and then kick Gu Nuan out of the house for just one minute, not a second more.
…
Han Yang closed the repeatedly played video on his phone and turned around mischievously. “This is the second time I’ve been your son, young CEO Gu.”
While he said that, all that filled Han Yang’s mind was Gu Nuan’s cute bunny dance, and he couldn’t get enough of it.
After all, when they first met, Gu Nuan was already in the first grade and had never danced like this in front of Han Yang. Such precious footage was not something Han Yang was willing to delete; he planned to keep it as a family heirloom.
“I’m sorry, Brother, I’m really sorry!”
“I don’t think you did anything wrong.”
“Brother, please delete it…”
“I won’t delete it.”
Gu Nuan was utterly embarrassed; he was determined to delete this video by any means necessary. Suddenly, he had a cunning idea and spoke with exceptional sincerity, “Brother, if you can delete this video, I’ll do anything, really!”
Han Yang withdrew his hand holding the phone slightly and relaxed a bit.
“Anything?”
“Of course!” Gu Nuan coaxed him gently, not caring about anything else, “Haven’t you always wanted me to wear those strawberry underwear I had before? I’ll wear it, right now if you want.”
“That pair of underwear is not in this apartment,” Han Yang was not fooled.
“In that case, I’ll buy it now and have it delivered by a delivery guy, okay?”
Han Yang considered it for a moment, weighing the pros and cons, “You’ll wear strawberry underwear just once?”
“Then, what else can I do?”
“Wearing it just once and asking me to delete the video, that’s not a fair trade, Is it?” Han Yang argued. Gu Nuan’s cute bunny dance when he was drunk was much more tempting than the underwear. Han Yang wasn’t as attached to a pair of underwear as Gu Nuan seemed to think.
Gu Nuan looked distressed, trying to negotiate with Han Yang, but in the end, he couldn’t grab the phone. They repeated this back-and-forth for the entire morning.
Perhaps, perseverance paid off, and Gu Nuan’s determination moved Han Yang.
Han Yang pretended to compromise, dragging his words out, “Unless—”
“You name it!”
“You wear strawberry underwear every day.”
“?”
In plain terms, Han Yang didn’t want to delete the video. If he were to delete it, it would have to be in exchange for a year’s supply of strawberry underwear; that was the only fair trade.
Han Yang had expected Gu Nuan to refuse, but to his surprise, after nearly ten minutes of silence, Gu Nuan slowly nodded, albeit with a sense of embarrassment.
That morning, Han Yang eagerly placed orders online for various types and styles of strawberry underwear. There were cute ones and sexy ones, and he truly bought Gu Nuan a year’s worth of new underwear.
Things he once dared not do or look at were now possible under the influence of love.
Gu Nuan felt like crying without tears, realizing he had brought this upon himself and had to face the consequences.
Unfortunately, before the underwear controversy could fully take off, both of them became busy with their respective schedules. Over the next few months, they resumed their long-distance relationship, and the strawberry underwear became a special part of their occasional get-togethers.
Han Yang continued with his busy schedule, but this time, he had a dedicated manager and a chauffeured car. If it weren’t for Han Yang’s persistent refusals, Lao Liang would have given him a superstar treatment, several times better than what He Yunchu received.
He Yunchu, from the same company, occasionally returned to the office from the set. When he saw the extravagant setup, he couldn’t help but wonder if Lao Liang had taken some expired medicine to go to such lengths.
Suddenly, He Yunchu thought of something and urgently stopped Han Yang, who was about to leave the company one evening. He pulled Han Yang to a blind spot in the company’s surveillance cameras and looked genuinely panicked. “You… You didn’t, right?”
“What?” Han Yang asked.
“Lao Liang has always liked Omegas, hasn’t he?”
He Yunchu was at a loss, unable to imagine how two tall, strong Alphas could engage in any romantic entanglement, let alone flirt with each other. Moreover, he vividly remembered that Han Yang and Gu Nuan were in a romantic relationship.
Although He Yunchu had experienced many relationships, he despised infidelity the most. He looked at Han Yang and suddenly understood everything, clicking his tongue twice. “Alphas like you guys are truly something else!” He added, “Except for Yu Yi, of course.”
He Yunchu thought that they couldn’t let Yu Yi know about Han Yang’s infidelity; otherwise, he’d eagerly pursue Gu Nuan again.
He Yunchu was about to speak but was interrupted by Han Yang. “Senior, it’s a misunderstanding.”
As for what exactly was misunderstood, Han Yang was in a hurry and couldn’t explain it right then. In desperation, after getting into the chauffeured car, Han Yang called He Yunchu to clarify his innocence.
When a rich second-generation heir no longer wanted to hide his identity, everything around him became overwhelmingly noisy. For example, the deafening scream from He Yunchu at this moment, “What did you just say? Whose son are you?!”
Han Yang corrected, “Senior, I meant adopted son.”
“Is there a difference?” He Yunchu asked.
“A slight one.”
“Hey, don’t you ever read the news or something?”
Who in City C didn’t know about the Gu family? Who didn’t know that the Gu family had two sons, similar to having two precious treasures? Who didn’t know that every time Gu Yuanchen was interviewed, he spoke proudly about his two sons? Who didn’t know that, compared to his younger son, Gu Yuanchen preferred to praise his older son’s maturity in front of reporters?
With all this in mind, what’s the difference?
He Yunchu took in a sharp breath, shocked beyond belief. Afterward, he made two clicking sounds in disdain and hung up the phone. After hanging up, he suddenly realized that annoying little brat who disliked him, Gu Nuan… had the last name Gu.
He forcibly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking that it couldn’t be this coincidental, right? These two brothers surely wouldn’t have any internal complications, right? Maybe Gu Nuan was just a relative of the Gu family?
As he turned his head, his agent was approaching him cheerfully, holding two cups of coffee and wearing a radiant smile as she offered him a cup. “I’ve got some news for you that will definitely make you happy!”
He Yunchu shuddered, saying, “I can’t handle any more excitement today. Don’t give me any unnecessary information.”
“I won’t, but you should take a look. It’ll definitely surprise you!”
The agent forcefully handed her phone to He Yunchu, and on the screen was a news article from the Gu Group, with the prominent headline “Gu Group Heir Gu Nuan Makes First Appearance at Charity Gala.”
In the image, Gu Nuan was dressed in a dark suit, looking serious, and his photo was prominently displayed at the top of the page.
A cold and beautiful man, a rare gem – Gu Nuan, the young executive of the Gu Group.
…
The agent, lacking tact, smiled smugly, took a sip of her coffee, and casually said, “You’ve just connected with a big shot, Yunchu. You’ve got another powerful backer now! I’ve heard they’re collaborating with our company, considering choosing Han Yang as a product endorser. You know, their company has never used celebrities as endorsers before. If they break that pattern, we might get a chance too!”
“…”
“That Han Yang is one lucky guy, being in a romantic relationship with young Gu CEO. But don’t worry, I’m good at keeping secrets; I won’t say anything that might cause trouble. By the way, you should be thankful you take care of Han Yang, though your mouth can be a bit sharp. Didn’t you almost make young Gu CEO cry the last time? Luckily, he’s good-natured…”
The agent kept referring to him as “young Gu CEO,” not even mentioning Gu Nuan’s name.
He Yunchu had a headache and leaned against the wall. “Stop talking; can you give me a moment of peace?”
When this jealous young Gu CEO inherited the family business, it would be good if he didn’t suffer any losses.
