Chapter 485: Using Green Tea to Win the Boyfriend Plan 30
Jin Chen looked down at his hand wandering on his abs, blinked, and naturally pulled He Yuchuan into his arms, not minding that the water on his clothes would wet He Yuchuan's attire.
"I believe you, older brother."
He spoke innocently, tilting his head to chase the lips of the person in his embrace.
After they got together, Jin Chen loved kissing, almost every day at home he would pester He Yuchuan for kisses.
He Yuchuan initially thought Jin Chen lacked a sense of security, later suspecting he was treating him like a pacifier.
"Older brother… kiss."
Jin Chen saw him tilt his head, feeling restless, wriggling in his embrace like a reckless wolf cub.
He Yuchuan had no choice but to pat his head again, yielding to the kiss.
He felt his lips swollen each day these past two days, all thanks to Jin Chen's handiwork.
As they kissed, Jin Chen's eyes flashed mischievously; he suddenly wrapped his arms around the person's waist and flung himself backward.
"Mm…"
He Yuchuan by the shore instantly fell into his embrace, both plunging into the water.
Fortunately, both were excellent swimmers, able to keep their eyes open underwater; He Yuchuan clearly saw a smile in Jin Chen's eyes, bubbles rising from their still-joined lips.
He Yuchuan tried to raise his hand to slap Jin Chen's shoulder, but he grabbed his wrist and pulled him closer, making their bodies press tighter.
He Yuchuan was startled, sensed his intention, and involuntarily glared at him.
This pool training session oddly turned into Jin Chen's playground.
After getting ashore and catching his breath, He Yuchuan angrily grabbed a feather duster again to strike; Jin Chen, having gotten away with it, dared not cause trouble anymore, being beaten and yelping as he ran all over the estate.
Guangshu happily picked up his camera to record.
I originally thought Gu Yuanheng would behave after being humiliated, but he remained a lingering presence, occasionally popping up with news.
Each time he did so under the banner of Black Forest Technology, engaging in the despicable act of seizing others' company resources and collaborations.
For a while, Gu Yuanheng seemed to become someone despised by everyone in Didu's upper circles, yet because of Black Forest Technology's massive scale, he was an existence one had to fear.
He himself, however, expressed great delight at this.
This recent development made Jin Chen increasingly convinced that the current Gu Yuanheng is probably no longer the original soul.
It was from that night when he was thrown onto the estate's lawn and drenched in rain that the change occurred, but he didn't think it was someone from the lingering dark Yin system; that day at the auction, after suspecting something, he probed with spiritual power and detected no dark force.
Then it could only be rebirth, Jin Chen pondered.
Only a Gu Yuanheng who experienced the later plot in his previous life would be this perverted.
So Jin Chen has had 0731 keep a close watch on him all this time to avoid unexpected complications.
Another half month passed, and one day He Yuchuan suddenly flipped through his calendar, cleared the coming days' work, and began wholeheartedly preparing something.
Jin Chen's birthday is coming up.
When he was still in the country, his birthday was a worry for He's parents; after five years abroad, he didn't even know how he had spent his birthdays.
But this return home marks Jin Chen's 20th birthday, and also the first birthday He Yuchuan can spend with him since they got together.
He Yuchuan naturally paid extra attention, completely forgetting how he used to find merely dining with Gu Yuanheng boring and dull.
He had his secretary pick a hotel in advance, but none satisfied him, so he finally decided to hold the celebration at the estate.
He also discussed with Guangshu for a long time, inviting the noble families that usually interacted with the He family, as well as several relatives with whom relations were still decent.
Guangshu already knew about the change in the relationship between the two young masters; he was always open-minded, and after the example of Gu Yuanheng, he felt that the eldest young master was safest only when with the youngest young master.
Our own kin won't cheat us out of property—it's kin upon kin!
But when inviting relatives, this layer of relation made him hesitate a bit.
Guangshu had been following the He family's patriarch, who saved his life—namely He Yuchuan's father—so he was still quite clear about the He family's kin network.
The elder relatives attached to the He family respected him greatly, and revered He Yuchuan even more.
But respect is one thing, accepting two brothers being together is another; after careful selection, the invitations sent to relatives turned out to be the fewest.
"This family won't do; you should call her your aunt, but she never supported your parents' union back then; that family is even worse—though he's your paternal uncle, he's your grandfather's illegitimate son and has long disliked you."
Guangshu perched his reading glasses on his nose and read out each name.
He Yuchuan and Jin Chen sitting side by side opposite: "……"
To be frank, they had never even heard of several of those relatives.
He Yuchuan rubbed his nose, gave a light cough, and said, "Guangshu, we don't need to invite many relatives; just let them know Jin Chen is back."
"I know, eldest young master, but we've only managed to select three families so far."
Guangshu sighed, took off his glasses to wipe them, and said, "Originally… there were more than these, but after your father's death, everyone piled on when the wall fell."
The smile on Jin Chen's face faded considerably, and he gripped He Yuchuan's hand tightly.
In the original plot, after He Yuchuan took over the He Group, his first difficulty wasn't the massive corporate business but various relatives' scheming and power struggles.
This even included closely related branch relatives from earlier years.
During that period, He Yuchuan had to bring dozens of bodyguards whenever he went out just to barely ensure safety, and thus he suffered disasters like car accidents for no reason.
He Yuchuan knew Jin Chen felt sorry for him, gave a faint smile, scratched his palm, and said, "It's all in the past."
But Jin Chen had no intention of letting it go that way.
Older brother doesn't hold grudges, but he will repay every slight.
"Guangshu, invite over the few families that previously schemed against older brother."
"Chenchen, I'd rather you have a happy birthday," He Yuchuan said, somewhat disagreeing, thinking it unnecessary to waste this precious day on those people.
"The birthday banquet is for show, older brother," Jin Chen whispered, brushing against his lowered brows, "After it ends, could you and Guangshu give me a private celebration?"
Guangshu thought it feasible; besides, this was also a chance—the eldest young master had long been busy with group affairs, and it was high time to teach those people a lesson!
He re-hooked the several families that had been filtered out.
He Yuchuan could only agree, and was also thinking about how to give Jin Chen a surprise no less than that of the New Crystal Element that night.
Time flew by while preparing the birthday banquet, and soon it was Jin Chen's birthday.
But they didn't expect that the day would be even more "lively" than imagined.
