The Slacker Stepmother and the Non-Domineering CEO

Chapter 80

"It\'s fine, we\'re not in a hurry anyway. We\'ll start with building stamina." Next time something like that happens, it would be best to kick the attacker\'s arm and break it directly.

"Alright then." Nian Suian thought that she didn\'t have much to do at home anyway, so learning a skill would be good.

Tonight, with the tiger away, the monkey was king. Gu Zhijing had been sitting in front of the computer for hours without moving.

After returning home, Gu Junxing and Nian Suian went directly to the third floor to check on Tang Yuan.

"When is the next vaccine due? We must change that name."

It had been a week since the last vaccine. Gu Junxing thought for a moment and told Nian Suian it would be in two weeks.

"I really don\'t know what you were thinking, giving such a terrible name." Coming out of Tang Yuan\'s room, Nian Suian was still mocking Gu Junxing.

Gu Junxing was at a loss for words and decided to change the subject, "Listen, Gu Zhijing is really engrossed in his game."

Gu Junxing knocked on the door twice, but there was no response from inside, only the sound of Gu Zhijing talking to his teammates.

When Gu Junxing pushed the door open and stood beside Gu Zhijing, watching him finish a game, he finally noticed.

"Dad! Little Mom, you\'re back! Little Mom, you look beautiful today!"

"We\'ve been back for a while," Nian Suian smiled at Gu Zhijing, implying he should fend for himself.

"Dad, I finished all my homework before playing, really."

"It\'s getting late, go to bed now."

"Just one more game, it\'s not my bedtime yet." Perhaps because Gu Junxing had been much milder recently, Gu Zhijing dared to bargain with his father.

Clearly, Gu Junxing had also noticed this. He didn\'t say anything else but started counting down directly.

"3"

"Okay, okay, I\'m done playing." Gu Zhijing quickly got the hint, turned off the computer, and went downstairs.

"Let\'s go," Gu Junxing said to Nian Suian. After leaving, he locked the door and took the key with him. He only trusted himself to keep this key.

"Good night," Nian Suian said to Gu Junxing before entering her room.

"Good night. High heels are tiring on the feet, take a hot bath tonight."

Hearing this, Nian Suian turned back, "Mr. Gu seems to understand well, quite experienced, huh?"

"It\'s not experience, it\'s common sense."

Whether it was experience or common sense, Nian Suian did indeed enjoy a comfortable hot bath.

People tend to let their minds wander when relaxing. Nian Suian realized that she hadn\'t thought about her past for a long time. Often, she didn\'t even realize that she came from another world, and she had developed a sense of belonging here, to the Gu family.

Perhaps it was a case of "thoughts by day, dreams by night," but Nian Suian actually dreamed of the original owner of this body while sleeping.

In the dream, the original owner told her that she was already in a second world. In this world, she was an unfavored princess. Her emperor father had a total of ten princesses, and she was busy fighting with this one and that one every day, but she was also very happy because she liked adventures.

After waking up in the morning, the dream was still vivid. She remembered asking the original owner at the end if she, as someone who didn\'t like adventures, could stay in this world forever.

She remembered the answer: "Of course you can."

Despite dreaming all night, Nian Suian felt very clear-headed when she woke up. She checked her phone and saw it was only seven o\'clock.

Unable to fall back asleep, she decided to get up early for once. When Nian Suian went downstairs, she saw Nanny Zhang making breakfast and enthusiastically went over to help.

"Why are you up so early today?" Gu Junxing sat down in the dining room and was surprised to see Nian Suian and Nanny Zhang bringing breakfast together. He had never seen Nian Suian at the breakfast table before.

Nian Suian picked up a bun she had made herself and replied, "I had a good dream and was in a good mood, couldn\'t sleep." The bun tasted good; she gave herself a mental thumbs up.

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed that eighty handsome men were crying and begging to be with me," Nian Suian made up on the spot.

Gu Junxing couldn\'t help but laugh. He shouldn\'t have asked.

Then he told Nian Suian, "I plan to go back to the company next week." He had been resting at home for quite a while. It was just a minor surgery and didn\'t actually require such a long recovery, but he wanted to give himself a vacation and took the opportunity to rest for an extended period.

Hearing Gu Junxing\'s words, Nian Suian wasn\'t surprised. She thought that such a long rest should be enough, so she nodded to show she understood.

"Do you want to go to the company?"

"What would I do at the company? I don\'t want to work." Nian Suian refused immediately. She was well-off now, why would she suffer the hardships of work? She had enough of that in her previous life.

"I\'m not asking you to work. It\'s just that I\'ll be at the company, Zhijing will be at school, and you\'ll be alone at home. I\'m worried you might get bored. When you want to go out, you can consider visiting the company. After all, you\'re a shareholder too."

While Nian Suian wasn\'t willing to clock in and out of work every day, visiting the company for fun was acceptable.

So she nodded and agreed, "Alright, I\'ll go when I\'m bored. Don\'t worry, I\'ll just find you when I\'m there and won\'t disturb other employees\' work." She wouldn\'t do things like inspect work as the "boss\'s wife."

"It\'s fine, you can do as you please when you\'re there." Seeing that Nian Suian agreed to occasionally visit the company, Gu Junxing fell into his old habit and couldn\'t help but start lecturing Nian Suian: "Actually, you should go out more often, don\'t always stay cooped up at home..."

"Gu Junxing," Nian Suian couldn\'t help but interrupt him.

"Hmm?"

"Can you stop talking?"

...

Good, the world was finally quiet. Nian Suian was satisfied.

Before leaving the table after breakfast, Nian Suian patted Gu Junxing\'s shoulder, "Sometimes, men are more attractive when they talk less."

After Nian Suian left, Gu Junxing couldn\'t help but smile. This seemed to be the first time someone had complained about him talking too much.

In the afternoon, the weather was clear and sunny. Nian Suian went to the garden to bask in the sunlight.

Soon, a shadow appeared before her. Gu Junxing had come over at some point, holding up his phone to show her the content.

The sun was a bit glaring, so Nian Suian shaded the screen with her hand and squinted to see that it was a WeChat message from Yan Heguang to Gu Junxing.

[Yan Heguang: Mr. Gu, I apologize to Mrs. Gu on behalf of my brother, Yan Heyu. I have already spoken with my father, and he has agreed to send my brother to manage our branch company in Haitang City. I hope my brother\'s actions won\'t affect our cooperation.]

Before considering anything else, just the mention of Haitang City was enough to shock Nian Suian. The Yan family was quite impressive, sending their son to Haitang City without worrying that one son might return as two sons.

...

Nian Suian didn\'t say anything, so Gu Junxing explained, "The Yan family has an important project, and cooperating with me is their best option at the moment. They probably don\'t want to offend me, so they sent this message."

Nian Suian waved her hand dismissively. Why the Yan family sent the message wasn\'t her concern. She slowly looked up and asked Gu Junxing, "I want to travel to Haitang City. What do you think?"
