Chapter 463: Green Tea Scheme to Win Back Boyfriend 08

Gu Yuanheng was startled by the sudden voice.

He instinctively hid the thing in his hand into his sleeve, quite surprised.

Jin Chen? How are you here?

Jin Chen saw his movements clearly, but kept a calm exterior.

I have an appointment with my brother this afternoon, so I came over to wait for him.

Who let you in, Secretary Sun?

I don't know, it seems not the brother's secretary, but someone from the Secretary Office.

Jin Chen answered truthfully, watching to see if Gu Yuanheng wanted to say more.

If you're waiting for He Yuchuan to come back, you should go to the neighboring reception room.

Gu Yuanheng was a bit angry, but he held it in; perhaps it was because the company gave him confidence, unlike the He Shi Zhuangyuan estate, which wasn't his turf.

He naturally began to teach Jin Chen the rules.

He Yuchuan doesn't like others entering his office; you just returned to the country, you should be more careful to avoid gossip.

Jin Chen:???

Did this person hit their head going out?

But this is my family's group company; can't I come in?

And Gu Yuanheng also went in, didn't he?

You have a thick face—you can go in, but I can't.

My identity is not only He Yuchuan's boyfriend, but also the Vice General Manager of this group, and I only came in to deliver documents.

Gu Yuanheng's tone grew heavier.

At that moment, Jin Chen heard footsteps outside again; this time he was certain it was his own wife.

It seemed there was someone else too.

A flash of inspiration went through his mind; he instantly looked pitiful and even his eye sockets were reddened from fright.

But… brother promised me… I didn't go wrong on purpose.

Gu Yuanheng, don't be angry… I'll never dare again.

Gu Yuanheng froze, wondering if his words had that much power—this pampered, meddlesome young master could actually be scared to tears?

Before he could wait for him to continue speaking, the office's main gate was pushed open from both sides.

He Yuchuan had just stepped in when he heard Jin Chen say that, and seeing the scene, his face immediately fell.

What are you talking about?

The several directors behind him exchanged glances; an older board member recognized Jin Chen, yet was still unsure.

Is this Xiao Chen? You've grown so tall!

Hello, uncles and aunts, I'm back from studying abroad.

Jin Chen hurried toward He Yuchuan, but dared not make any further move; the arm he had raised fell back, and he greeted the familiar uncles and aunts.

He Yuchuan saw his tension and unease, and slightly furrowed his brows.

He glanced at Gu Yuanheng, said nothing, turned and handed the documents in his hand to Secretary Sun.

Today's meeting doesn't need a review; the uncles and aunts can go back and wait for my news.

This…

Logically, the quarterly board meeting should have a follow‑up even if there's nothing major; why is it…

Someone noticed the strange atmosphere in the office and saw Jin Chen about to cry, so they said, "All right, we'll skip the review this time; Xiao Chen, now that you're back in the country, come visit your uncle's house more often."

All right. Jin Chen nodded.

Secretary Sun glanced at the three people's positions and felt he seemed to understand something.

It's just that the relationship isn't quite right.

He also hurriedly left the office.

With no outsiders present, Jin Chen grew bolder, yet still seemed a little timid from what had just happened; he shrank behind He Yuchuan, reaching out to tug at his shirt hem.

He didn't even dare to hug his arm.

He Yuchuan felt another sink in his heart, feeling stifled; he couldn't fathom where this emotion came from, so he could only coldly ask Gu Yuanheng.

What did you just say?

After just a short morning apart, Jin Chen's courage seemed to have been emptied out.

I didn't say anything; I just felt he should wait for you in the reception room since he didn't have your permission.

Gu Yuanheng also found it bewildering.

Jin Chen secretly rolled his eyes and began to add fuel to the fire.

Brother, don't be angry with Gu Yuanheng; I didn't know that without your permission I can't enter your office, nor can I lack etiquette.

Gu Yuanheng is right; I'm just an outsider fostered by the He family at home, I can't cause gossip because of my ignorance and make things difficult for my brother.

His expression was aggrieved, his tone even lower; a tear hung on his long eyelashes, and his watery peach‑blossom eyes made anyone looking feel their heart melt.

When the words "He family's adopted son" were spoken, He Yuchuan and Gu Yuanheng's faces both changed.

Gu Yuanheng thought it was really weird; clearly his meaning was similar to before, yet when he said it it felt strange.

He Yuchuan then directly pulled Jin Chen behind him, almost confronting Gu Yuanheng in a standoff.

Are you crazy, saying that in front of Jin Chen?

I'm not… Gu Yuanheng wanted to explain, but didn't know how.

Playing word games, he was destined to lose to Jin Chen.

He could only sigh and say, "He Yuchuan, I really didn't mean that; I just felt that since Xiao Chen just returned, the group's people don't know him, so I didn't want others to see him and speculate."

I have sent his information to the email of everyone in the group; if you didn't see it, that's your own problem.

Having known Gu Yuanheng for so long, He Yuchuan felt for the first time that he was so lacking in perceptiveness.

Jin Chen owns twenty percent of He Group's shares, and the three subsidiaries under his name are also his; there is no such thing as outsider talk.

Upon hearing those words about being a shareholder, Gu Yuanheng's inner anger and resentment were known only to himself.

I understand; I shouldn't meddle so much, don't be angry.

I also did it for……

Gu Yuanheng wanted to go comfort him, but Jin Chen grabbed his arm first.

Brother, don't be angry; Gu Yuanheng definitely didn't do it on purpose, he was also doing it for my own good.

Gu Yuanheng: "……" You've let him finish all the sweet talk, right!

This is the lunch I prepared for brother; eat it quickly, otherwise it'll get cold.

Jin Chen pretended not to see Gu Yuanheng's face turning purple with anger.

The green tea does nothing wrong, and it will even speak up for you~

Mm, have you eaten?

Facing Jin Chen, He Yuchuan's expression finally eased considerably; "Yuanheng, go out first."

Yuchuan…… I

Get out.

Gu Yuanheng clenched his fists; he also cared about face, and at that moment he had no mind to placate anyone, so he walked straight out of the office.

At the moment he brushed past Jin Chen, he felt a fleeting strangeness in his arm, but it vanished instantly and was forgotten.

Jin Chen, sit down.

He Yuchuan patted his shoulder, "From now on, you can come and go here without needing anyone's permission."

I know, brother.

Jin Chen clung to him as if relying on him, seemingly seeking a sense of security, but in fact his eyes were full of contentment.

I like brother the most.

The aroma from the lunch box wafted up, and there was warm softness in the embrace; He Yuchuan lost himself for a moment, involuntarily also embracing Jin Chen.

Then he reached out and stroked his head.

Good.

He said softly.
