Chapter 225: Long Cong’an’s Advice

Long Cong’an looked at Gu Zhiyu with a gossipy expression.

No wonder President Gu looks so radiant—turns out he’s finally won the beauty’s heart!

Gu Zhiyu felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze and cleared his throat. “Sit down.”

Long Cong’an was taken aback. “Huh?”

Gu Zhiyu said, “Sit. I have something to ask you.”

Long Cong’an was confused.

What’s with the formality? What could he possibly want to ask?

Still, he obediently sat down.

Gu Zhiyu looked at him. “I remember you once mentioned that during your relationship, you handed over all your savings and property to your wife, and then you two got engaged?”

Long Cong’an was a bit slow to react.

He’d thought Gu Zhiyu wanted to ask him something important, but it turned out to be about his relationship with his wife?

But he still answered honestly, “That’s right.”

Gu Zhiyu asked, “How did your wife react at the time?”

Long Cong’an replied, “She was really happy!”

Gu Zhiyu frowned.

Seeing him suddenly fall silent and frown in deep thought, Long Cong’an tentatively called, “President Gu?”

Gu Zhiyu snapped out of it and asked, “If a woman suddenly asks you if you’re rich, what does she mean?”

Long Cong’an finally realized—this was a love dilemma from a lifelong bachelor!

He almost wanted to laugh at how serious Gu Zhiyu looked.

So even the wise and mighty boss could have problems he couldn’t figure out?

But he still tried to answer as seriously as possible. “She probably just wants to get to know you better.”

Gu Zhiyu nodded. That was what he thought too.

“So how should I answer?”

Long Cong’an said, “Just tell her the truth.”

Gu Zhiyu nodded again.

That sounded right.

Long Cong’an finally couldn’t help but ask, “President Gu, are you talking about you and Miss An Nan?”

Gu Zhiyu had come back specifically for advice, so he didn’t hide it. “Mm.”

The fire of gossip in Long Cong’an burned even brighter.

He’d have some juicy material to share with his wife tonight!

He quickly asked, “So how did you tell Miss An Nan?”

Gu Zhiyu answered truthfully, “I told her about all the warehouses we have around the country, and said that those things are hers too. I could take her to see them.”

Long Cong’an’s eyes lit up.

As expected of President Gu.

Impressive! First time in love and already acting like a pro.

What girl could resist that?

He asked excitedly, “Was she really touched?”

Gu Zhiyu pursed his lips. “She didn’t really react.”

Long Cong’an’s eyes widened. “That calm?”

But then he thought about it—his benefactor really was the type to stay unruffled even if the sky fell.

Maybe she was just secretly happy and didn’t show it.

But then Gu Zhiyu added, “Well, it’s not that she didn’t react at all. Later, she punched me. And today, she went out on her own without taking me.”

Long Cong’an: …

He looked utterly baffled. “Why?!”

Gu Zhiyu shot him a dissatisfied look. “That’s what I’m asking you.”

Long Cong’an: …

Now he was stumped.

His wife was a normal woman.

But his benefactor clearly wasn’t!

Back then, when he’d handed over all his property deeds, keys, and savings to his then-girlfriend, she’d been deeply moved.

After that, the proposal and marriage had all gone smoothly.

But his benefactor wasn’t touched at all, and even punched President Gu?

The two men sat on the sofa, both deep in thought, but neither could figure it out.

After a while, Gu Zhiyu said, a bit dismissively,

“You’re no help. Go back.”

He’d thought, seeing how loving Long Cong’an and his wife were, that he might have some good advice.

But now it seemed, his An’an really wasn’t someone anyone could figure out.

He’d have to work it out himself.

Long Cong’an stood up awkwardly.

All these years, this was the first time President Gu had ever asked his opinion on a decision.

And he’d let his boss down?

That wouldn’t do! President Gu was his bread and butter now. As his most capable assistant, how could he let him down at a time like this?

He might not understand women’s minds, but when it came to cheering up a woman, he had plenty of experience!

So he suggested, “President Gu, nobody hits a smiling face. Giving gifts is always a safe bet.”

Gu Zhiyu looked up at him.

“Gifts?”

Long Cong’an nodded. “Yes. Give her more of what she likes. Even if she’s not thrilled, she definitely won’t be mad.”

Then he scratched his head. “Whenever I upset my wife, I’d buy her gold rings or bracelets. That always cheered her up quickly.”

Gu Zhiyu considered this.

Come to think of it, when he’d given An Nan those two jade pieces before, she had seemed quite happy.

With a decisive wave, he said, “Find some jade!”

Long Cong’an snapped to attention. “Yes, President Gu!”

He was about to leave when Gu Zhiyu called out, “Wait.”

“It has to be better than last time.”

Long Cong’an hesitated. “President Gu, anything better will cost over a hundred million.”

Gu Zhiyu was unfazed. “Then find one worth over a hundred million.”

Long Cong’an said, “There’s nothing like that in the northern warehouse. We might have to check the southern one. But at this hour…”

Gu Zhiyu frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, “What about the ‘Heart of Ice and Snow’?”

Long Cong’an thought for a bit. “That one’s in the northern warehouse.”

Gu Zhiyu smiled. “That’s the one I want.”

An’an had said yesterday that she liked winter and snow. This piece was perfect.

Long Cong’an said, “Alright, President Gu.”

Before he could leave, Gu Zhiyu added, “Don’t drive. Take the helicopter. I’ll wait here for you.”

Long Cong’an nodded and hurried out.

He couldn’t help but marvel—President Gu, usually so calm and steady, seemed to become impatient the moment he fell in love!

Back in the villa, Gu Zhiyu wasn’t idle either.

When he’d stayed at Maple Forest Residence before, he’d promised to repay An Nan double for any supplies he used during his stay.

Now was the perfect time to bring more things back.

He opened various cabinets and the fridge, and began packing seriously.

Meanwhile, Fugui had already explored the whole mansion and happily returned to the first floor, following Gu Zhiyu around.

“Awooo, awoooo!”

I really like your house. Give me a room!

Gu Zhiyu didn’t understand what it was saying. “Fugui, stop messing around. I need to finish packing quickly so I don’t delay going home.”

Fugui scrunched up its whole face. “Awoo? Awooo awooo!”

What do you mean, go home? This IS my home!

Elsewhere, An Nan arrived at the agreed location to pick up the car from the Jiang brothers.

This time, it was still in a remote area, but not the same place as last time.

During the last transaction for Banlangen, they’d almost been discovered by the long-haired man’s group, so this time An Nan had chosen an even more distant and secluded spot.

When she arrived in her armored vehicle, assault rifle slung over her back, the two brothers and three water tankers were already waiting obediently."
