Chapter 1021: The cold-hearted CEO's ill-fated butler 34

~7 min read 1,330 words

Gu Mu Jin Chen could also see Gu Muhua's thoughts.

Although I didn't know what this nerve was provoking me to do, it didn't stop him from making a phone call to complain.

When the call went through, Berlin was currently bathed in evening sunset.

Gu Han had just finished a meeting, planning to go with his Berlin friend to the department store here to browse; at the crossroads of the street under the bodhi tree, he heard a street artist singing a song about lovers.

At the entrance of the small shop, various souvenirs related to couples were displayed.

The street under the bodhi tree was praised by street artists as the most romantic street, and when it comes to lovers, they never shy away from the romance of that word.

Gu Han stopped his steps, looking out at the entrance, as if he were selecting some interesting souvenir.

The friend joked with a smile, 'Sure enough, having a lover makes you different; before, you wouldn't even look at such things.'

Gu Han slightly startled, subconsciously pursed his lips and smiled, then casually picked up a set of cups full of artistic vibe.

Meanwhile outside the shop, the sunset spread across the sky, dyeing Berlin's sky red.

Gu Han received a call from his lover.

"Gu Mu Jin Chen."

Gu Han eagerly answered the call, even though he had to face his friend's overly teasing smile.

He gave his friend a glance, because after several days apart, hearing Gu Mu Jin Chen's voice again made him happy.

Although between lovers, if one is on a business trip, keeping the phone call going long is inevitable.

However, Gu CEO's meeting this time involved international cooperation, the whole conference building had signal jammers; the hotel did have signal, but before the meeting ended, he also couldn't contact the outside world.

Until today, Gu Han had originally planned to return to the hotel and call Gu Mu Jin Chen, but he didn't expect they would be so in sync.

But a few seconds later, Gu CEO's mood was no longer so beautiful.

"Gu Muhua, my brother?"

In those few seconds, Gu Han thought of many relatives, even those he had never contacted before.

He never imagined that at some point he would have gained such a shameless brother.

Until Gu Mu Jin Chen said, 'Xiao Han, I think he's a bit like your dad.'

Gu Han's first reaction was 'What dad? Oh, Bai Yunyue.'

Wait, being similar to Bai Yunyue, then that would be...

The child of Bai Yunyue and Gu Yeting.

"Has he done anything to you? How dare he covet my person!"

Gu Han's angry and worried tone spread throughout the shop; even though he was speaking unfamiliar Chinese, it made the shop owner feel his anger.

The friend quickly said sorry and took Gu Han out of the small shop.

"No, I punished him severely; he has already left the estate."

Gu Han's first thought was, 'Then what does this phone call mean...'

He suddenly realized, shifting from anger to an uncontrollable faint smile, which only took two seconds.

Gu Han slowly looked toward the street artist still playing and singing, then suddenly asked a question.

"Gu Mu Jin Chen, are you missing me?"

A unique CEO-style longing.

Gu Mu Jin Chen let out a low laugh; his warm, moist voice transmitted through the phone into Han's ear, as if a whisper near the ear.

"Yes, I miss you."

Gu Han's ears turned slightly red, yet he remained composed: 'Alright, then I miss you too.'

After saying that, he realized there were still several days until they could meet, and he couldn't wait to tell Gu Mu Jin Chen what he had seen and heard today.

"I just finished the meeting, bought you a souvenir on the street, and also heard a song."

Gu Han slightly moved the phone away to ensure Gu Mu Jin Chen could hear the song he was currently hearing.

To his delight, the street artist not far away seemed to understand something; after a guitar sound, he spontaneously increased the volume.

Gu Han politely nodded at him in thanks, took back the phone and put it to his ear, 'Did you hear it?'

"I heard it," he heard Gu Mu Jin Chen say; the next moment, he stared wide-eyed in a daze.

Gu Mu Jin Chen actually hummed that song out loud.

Without any accompaniment, the voice was also very low, only he could hear it.

"You... can also sing this song."

Actually, what surprised Gu Han was that Gu Mu Jin Chen's singing was actually so pleasant.

So pleasant that a voice as rich and deep as a cello actually exists.

"This song is a folk love song from the former East Berlin area," Gu Han listened blankly to Gu Mu Jin Chen's voice ringing in his ears.

"When I went to Berlin to study, I learned from a street artist; maybe the person you heard is the same one."

So that's how it is, so... is it fate?

Gu CEO fell again, his face showing a spring-like smile.

If it weren't for just wanting himself to hear it, he would practically want to show off to his nearby friend.

"Look, my boyfriend is really amazing, especially great!"

Even though this damages the CEO's dignity.

The hotel is not far from the street; Gu Han walked back together with his friend.

Along the way, whatever interesting and novel things Gu Han saw, he would tell Gu Mu Jin Chen about.

Then he also thought, Gu Mu Jin Chen had previously come here and even stayed for a short time.

Perhaps every street he stepped on, and even every black bench within sight, were places Gu Mu Jin Chen had also been before.

In a foreign land, such feelings are quite wonderful.

It was so wonderful that Gu Han couldn't bring himself to hang up, and only after returning to the hotel did he need to have dinner with the meeting attendees.

His friend watched him hang up the phone all lovey‑dovey and clicked his tongue.

"Seeing you talk about love, you're like a kid watching me still in college—so... pure."

Under Gu CEO's dangerous stare, the friend swallowed the words 'childish'.

"You don't understand." The Gu CEO, who had completely forgotten that they hadn't gone shopping yet, gave an arrogant huff: "He's really great, truly."

Before, Gu Han never thought there was anything worth talking about in love.

Even if during college, youthful and naive, he had some dependence on his own father, Bai Yunyue, that he himself didn't understand—that was completely different.

"Alright, alright, alright, especially good—the best in the world."

Going along with his words, the friend praised, "Please, Gu CEO, it's time to go socialize."

On the other side, Gu Mu Jin Chen hung up the phone and then heard the 0731 broadcast.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +10, total 90!】

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -10, total 45!】

Gu Mu Jin Chen couldn't suppress the smile on his face; even the movie before him seemed not scary.

Of course, Gu Mu Jin Chen originally also thought this movie wasn't scary; rather, it was quite soporific.

Gu Mu Jin Chen alone yawned in the huge movie hall with a starry‑sky ceiling.

【0731, how is the Li family's situation now?】

【A tangled mess, and it's still up to you! Soon Li Yuan won't even have the time to deal with the domineering CEO.】

This brings up the package Gu Mu Jin Chen received on the day he was kidnapped.

A piece of evidence enough to topple the entire Li family.

Under Gu Mu Jin Chen's manipulation, after the Li family received the item and discovered there was a backup, the sole demand was actually for Li Yuan to restrain himself, not to recklessly go against Gu Han; otherwise, the Li family's outcome would be even worse than the fallout from leaking this item.
