Chapter 484: Plan to Win a Boyfriend Using Green Tea 29

Who could fail to hear the threat in Gu Yuanheng's words? He Yuchuan immediately turned his head and gave him a cold glance.

Their eyes met just as Gu Yuanheng noticed the gaze shifting toward him.

He noticed He Yuchuan looking at him then; excitement surged in his blood again, his fingers itched and he rubbed them, his gaze blatant and disgusting.

"Yuchuan, your brother is really ruthless."

Gu Yuanheng's words seemed to carry a hidden meaning, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in his eyes.

"Aren't you afraid? Jin Chen now bears no resemblance to before; but one day he'll seize your chairman position, and you won't even know it."

He Yuchuan didn't like discussing these matters in public.

He coldly tossed off, "I'll take your kind words."

Gu Yuanheng: "……"

Finally, the others realized: Chairman He couldn't care less about being ousted—it's just that Black Forest Technology is stirring up trouble here.

Several teams on good terms with the He family, seeing this, began to badmouth Black Forest Technology.

"If you're not attending today's meeting, hurry up and leave; don't waste everyone's time."

"Basically, none of today's crystal elements, no matter who buys them, could possibly be sold to Black Forest—after all we're a proper Huaguo company; how could our own crystal elements end up in outsiders' hands?"

This remark resonated with those present; they already disliked this foreign-funded enterprise, and while another industry might be tolerable, this classified crystal element is the lifeblood of various nations.

But it must absolutely not fall into their hands.

Gu Yuanheng stood up, also intending to leave.

However, as they passed each other in the hallway, his determined, sticky gaze really made one feel uncomfortable.

He Yuchuan gave him a cold glance.

Gu Yuanheng chuckled, even deliberately leaving the stage, completely indifferent to everyone's gaze.

Such composure was something his former self could not match.

Jin Chen narrowed his eyes, a thought occurring to him.

But now that everyone had left, he switched the big screen back to its original content, indicating the auction could begin.

The He Group's target was originally the new crystal element; now it's easily secured, He Yuchuan instead feels a bit bored.

He let Jin Chen beside him take his hand and play with it; his demeanor became much more relaxed, and he occasionally paid attention to the core highlights of other teams' bids.

Finally, the remaining two crystal elements from XM Information Technology were sold to the other two teams at a price satisfactory to both; after the on-site transaction, Jin Chen promised to deliver them to their factories tomorrow.

The auction ended; Mi De An, as one of the overall heads of the crystal elements, should have gone with Jin Chen and them to celebrate, but as soon as they left the venue, Li Cha Sen prepared to take him away.

He Yuchuan also finally met these two; after all they're in the same industry, he also knew Li Cha Sen's identity, and upon hearing Li Cha Sen say that Black Forest was planting spies in various leading conglomerates, he took note.

Even if Gu Yuanheng left, the group might not be clean now.

Li Cha Sen's words actually made him much more vigilant.

Mi De An and Jin Chen exchanged a few boastful remarks; the two immature brats were taken home by their families with black lines on their faces, finally concluding today's events.

——

Jin Chen thought that returning to the manor, he would be greeted with a substantial reward from his dear wife.

Unexpectedly, it was a big fright.

"Brother... really have to be like this?"

Only by the two-person pool, Jin Chen had a towel draped around his waist, his face flushed with embarrassment.

"Of course."

He Yuchuan was fully dressed, half-reclining on the lounge chair, arms crossed, his handsome face full of interest.

Although the crystal element matter did indeed give him a surprise, it also proved that during this time at the manor, Jin Chen was not at all as weak as he had thought.

Although he wasn't angry, some minor punishment was still needed.

Seeing there was no room for evasion, Jin Chen could only follow He Yuchuan's instruction, pinching his earlobes with both hands and jumping into the water.

Then he was precisely caught by the balloon-washboard that had been waiting long in the pool; he trembled slightly, steadied his body, and obediently knelt.

Although it wasn't painful, maintaining a kneeling posture on such a small point of force requires strong core strength and cannot be supported by hands.

Jin Chen lowered his brows and eyes, his face full of grievance.

Seeing Jin Chen's aggrieved appearance, He Yuchuan couldn't help but find it amusing, raising his eyebrows slightly: "I didn't really make you kneel."

"Uncomfortable..."

Jin Chen muttered, "Brother, why are you punishing me?"

"Just when you got home, acting all soft and weak—turns out you were pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?"

He Yuchuan stood up, casually picked up a feather duster, and lightly whipped his abs.

"I've been kept in the dark by you."

"Who let me, just after returning home, see you having a relationship with another man..."

Jin Chen took the hit; although it didn't hurt, he still muttered to himself, "Brother can only be mine."

"You little brat." He Yuchuan laughed and scolded, then whipped again.

"When exactly did you start having these ideas?"

"It's been... a long time ago."

Jin Chen gave a vague answer, unable to explain the reason, but added, "Otherwise I wouldn't have studied psychology."

The feather duster paused on his abs; He Yuchuan stared, stunned: "You studied psychology... for... me?"

It seemed he recalled something; Jin Chen's eyes slowly reddened: "When I was little, many people said bad things about brother; those relatives said you were an emotionless monster."

"But I know brother is just sick; you clearly aren't a monster at all, you'd lull me to sleep and buy me tasty food."

"So I will help cure brother!"

After hearing this, He Yuchuan's arm trembled slightly; his inner feelings of emotion and helplessness surged.

At that time I was only trying to finish Mother's 'little task of looking after my younger brother'; I never expected Jin Chen would keep all of this in his heart for so long.

The fluff on his abs also trembled; Jin Chen's breathing grew a little heavier, he lifted his eyes and timidly looked at He Yuchuan, reaching out to take hold of his arm.

"After returning home I found my brother had already recovered, and then I saw you had a boyfriend; I feel awful…"

This fragile, trembling tone made He Yuchuan's heart jolt.

He secretly thought it wasn't that his brother had already recovered; clearly, only after Jin Chen returned did his own emotions begin to recover, allowing him to experience feelings he had never felt in all those years.

After all, he couldn't bring himself to strike (it).

He threw down the feather duster, sat by the poolside and gently stroked the abs that had just been whipped, "I have never had feelings for Gu Yuanheng; before I would agree to be with him…"

"It's just that I was worried others would see my weakness, so I went along with the worldly routine."

Only after mutually confessing feelings with Jin Chen did I realize that the previously troublesome couple routines were merely because the person wasn't right, and my heart wasn't right.

If it were replaced with Jin Chen, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit bored.
