Chapter 166
"What are you looking at, old lady?" Butler Su came over and saw Nanny Zhang bending over, secretly peering at something, so he strolled over to join in on the fun.
"You're actually spying on the master and madam kissing!"
Suddenly disturbed, Nanny Zhang snapped irritably, "Shh! Be quiet. If you're not going to watch, then leave."
After watching for quite a while longer, she finally turned around contentedly and nudged Butler Su who was standing beside her, "Old Su, at this rate, don't you think we'll soon have another young miss or young master in the house?"
Butler Su glanced at her, completely unfazed, "Just wait and see."
The young master's child would also be a young master, nothing wrong with that, just wait.
In the back courtyard, halfway through their kiss, Gu Junxing forced himself to stop.
"We can't kiss anymore," Gu Junxing whispered in Nian Suian's ear, "The doctor said I shouldn't get excited recently."
Though phrased diplomatically, Nian Suian instantly understood his meaning.
"Ahem! Then I... I should keep my distance, let you cool down a bit, don't want to make things worse."
The comment made Nian Suian laugh, and soon they were both laughing together.
"It's been so long since the master laughed like this," Nanny Zhang said nostalgically, pretending to wipe her eyes with her sleeve.
Hearing this, Butler Su's eyebrow twitched, "Old Zhang, what books have you been reading lately?"
"'The Cold-Faced CEO's Beloved Sweet Heart' - in the book, that's how the butler talks. You should learn from it."
...
"Suian..." Gu Junxing called out helplessly.
"Hm? What's wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong down there, you don't need to keep staring."
Ever since learning about Gu Junxing's vasectomy today, Nian Suian's eyes kept unconsciously drifting downward, even during dinner while sitting next to him, she couldn't help but glance down after every few bites.
Hearing him say this, Nian Suian laughed awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to."
That night at the bedroom door, Gu Junxing held Nian Suian back.
"Suian, it's not that I don't want you to look, it's my problem - my self-control isn't good enough."
Nian Suian's face turned bright red, "I really won't look anymore, never again."
"You can look later, when it's better."
"Can you do it, Dad? He even said before that he wished you were his dad."
"From what I'm hearing, you're giving your dad away as a birthday present?"
"Dad, it's just for one day. Don't be stingy - what's the difference who you're being a dad to?"
"Alright, I agree."
"Really? That's great!" Gu Zhijing jumped three feet high, forgetting Gu Junxing's warning, and gave his father a bear hug.
"Gu Zhijing!" Gu Junxing gritted his teeth, "Go take a shower."
"Right away, right away!" Having achieved his goal, Gu Zhijing bounced back to his room to shower.
Gu Junxing sat stiffly, took several deep breaths before saying to Nian Suian, "Entertain yourself for a while, I need another shower."
At the stairs, he turned back and added, "I'll cut you a fresh fruit platter later."
Nian Suian held back her laughter and told him to hurry along.
Gu Zhijing showered quickly; Nian Suian felt like she'd barely read a few chapters of her novel before he came back downstairs.
"Did you clean yourself properly? How are you done so fast?"
"I'm clean, I just work efficiently."
"Alright." Nian Suian didn't want to dwell on whether he was properly clean or not. "When is Qi Anlu's birthday?"
"March 5th."
"That's still a while away. Why did you bring it up with your dad today? I thought it was coming up soon."
"Well, I just thought of it just now, so I mentioned it."
Nian Suian thought to herself how alike father and son were, acting on their thoughts immediately.
"By the way, stepmom, what were you and dad talking about last night? About looking at something?"
Nian Suian was speechless... After a while, she said, "You're still thinking about that?"
"Well, I couldn't help it since I overheard. So what was it?"
"Movies! We were discussing whether to set up a home theater to watch movies." Nian Suian made up the excuse on the spot.
"Oh, just that?" Gu Zhijing was clearly disappointed.
"What else could it be?" Seeing that Gu Zhijing had bought the excuse, Nian Suian felt slightly relieved. She made a mental note to align stories with Gu Junxing later to avoid any amusing contradictions.
