Chapter 387: Three hundred eighty-seven Discuss a big project_1

After dinner, once Gu Chen had finished washing the dishes, he caught sight of his wife sneaking back into the bedroom with a big bag after putting their daughter to sleep.

It seemed she was up to something secretive.

Gu Chen couldn’t help but feel curious, and when he pushed open the door, he was met with a sight that made him want to both cry and laugh.

He saw that Ji Pianran was sitting in front of the bedroom vanity, dealing with a stack of documents.

She was deeply focused, continuously writing and scribbling something.

"Wife, what are you doing so late at night?"

Ji Pianran didn’t even lift her head as she responded.

"Working! There are some documents from the company that I haven’t reviewed yet, so I just brought them home."

"Wow, you’re really something."

Gu Chen was somewhat speechless, then he walked over to her side, took a glance, and shook his head.

"With your dedication, the donkeys at the mill would shake their heads in disbelief."

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran couldn’t help but turn her head to glare at him and waved her little pink fist.

She huffily said,

"Go away, go away, stop making silly jokes and distracting me from my work."

However, Gu Chen didn’t leave.

Instead, he approached her from behind with a grin plastered on his face.

Then, with a gentle effort, he embraced her in his arms.

At that moment, his arms tightly encircled Ji Pianran’s slender waist, resembling that of a water snake.

And Gu Chen’s chin rested on her delicate shoulders,

with his gaze falling directly onto his wife’s translucent and lovely earlobes.

Gu Chen mischievously blew a breath into her ear.

Instantaneously, Ji Pianran’s cheeks uncontrollably flushed a deep red.

The two of them had been together so long, with even a child in kindergarten.

Some things needed just a light touch for mutual understanding without the need for words.

However, looking at the stack of documents in front of her, she still felt somewhat uneasy.

She struggled slightly and said,

"Husband, don’t mess around, I have deals worth hundreds of thousands here.

Let me finish reviewing these documents, then we can talk, okay?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen simply began to laugh, then teasingly said,

"Oh, you just carry on with your work. I just wanted to hug you, that’s all.

I won’t really disturb you, rest assured."

Having heard that, Ji Pianran couldn’t help but look at him somewhat astonished.

She wondered when her husband had changed his ways.

But seeing him with a righteous expression,

she reluctantly gave up struggling and let Gu Chen hold her in his arms.

Yet she still couldn’t rest easy and continued to remind him,

"Let’s make a deal then, your hands need to stay proper, don’t tease me until I finish all this."

Gu Chen, of course, nodded repeatedly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

"Don’t worry, my wife, how could I possibly tease you?"

Gu Chen said tenderly, then leaned his face towards Ji Pianran’s and gently kissed her lips.

Ji Pianran felt incredibly sweet inside, and after the kiss, she turned her head back to bury herself in the documents.

However, it wasn’t long before Ji Pianran found she couldn’t concentrate anymore.

Her fingers, like slender green onions, clenched the pen tightly.

Her breathing, previously steady, now became rapid.

Her delicate face instantly flushed with a rosy color that kept spreading toward her ears.

Unable to help herself, she turned her head again, glared at Gu Chen with a mix of annoyance and said huffily,

"You moved!"

"Nonsense, wife, I definitely didn’t move."

Gu Chen blinked, feigning an innocent look as he spoke.

"You’re lying; you obviously moved again!"

"But we agreed just now, my hands truly didn’t move ah."

A smile was about to break on Gu Chen’s face.

Especially upon seeing his wife’s current demeanor, both coy and charming, with an air of seductiveness.

He couldn’t resist hugging her slender waist even tighter, then he leaned in and whispered in her ear,

"Oh dear, wife, I’m just cherishing you. Besides, it’s all because your charm is too overwhelming.

Even if I want to control it, it won’t listen to me."

As he said this, his hands began to climb upwards, unable to restrain themselves.

At the same time, while holding her hand, he said in a seductive tone,

"We’re already home, let’s not work for now. Besides, it’s just a business deal worth a few hundred thousand.

I have a project worth several billion that I’d like to discuss with you."

Ji Pianran was somewhat baffled but still said with a laugh,

"What kind of billion-dollar deal? I bet you’re just talking nonsense again."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen immediately swore up and down,

"Really, wife, when have I ever deceived you?

How about this, come sit on the bed with me, and I’ll explain it slowly to you."

"Well... alright then, I’ll listen to what this is all about."

Ji Pianran knew that Gu Chen was likely teasing her again,

but she couldn’t help her curiosity and wanted to know what it was all about.

Afterwards, she was swayed by Gu Chen’s sweet nothings and ended up feeling lightheaded.

Unknowingly, she joined him on the bed, and before she could even ask a question,

Gu Chen kissed her tender, dewy lips once more.

After a long while, when she was almost out of breath, he grinned and said to her,

"Wife, let me recite to you this billion-dollar contract."

And just as he finished explaining, Ji Pianran couldn’t help but exclaim softly.

Then with mesmerizing eyes, she looked at Gu Chen, her pearly white teeth gently biting her lower lip as she said in feigned anger,

"So that’s what it is, you, you big bully, you’re always picking on me."

The next morning,

Gu Chen, after discussing business with his wife all night, woke up once again, full of vigor.

After all, a man’s word is his bond, a promise that’s hard to chase as a team of horses.

If he promised to discuss a multi-billion project, then he must not fall short.

For this, he even drank Spirit Spring Water twice to boost his energy.

Only after his wife happily signed a series of agreements, such as ensuring an early return home every day,

prohibiting working from home, drinking less alcohol, and not getting drunk, among other fair conditions,

did Gu Chen finally submit his last order amid her soft pleas for mercy.

It wasn’t until he prepared a breakfast with love that Ji Pianran finally opened her eyes from sleep.

Gu Chen was sitting right beside her, looking at his wife’s radiant visage,

a mischievous smile spread across his face as he pompously said,

"Wife, do you remember what you promised me last night?

You have to remember to abide by it well~"

Seeing his infuriating expression, Ji Pianran couldn’t help but feel an itch in her teeth.

Especially when she recalled her embarrassing conduct the previous night.

She couldn’t help but shyly clench her fists and pounded on his chest twice in a huff.
