Sitting in the office, Gu Nan was now looking at his mobile phone for the Nth time, and his brows were furrowed, as if he had encountered some century-long problem.
Nan Feng looked at his nose and his heart, handed him the document in his hand and reminded him.
“Boss, maybe Miss Nuan Nuan is busy with something now and has no time to send you a message.”
That’s right, Gu Nan was waiting for his sister’s message at this moment.
In the past, she would send him a message at this time to remind him to eat well, so today he felt that the food was not delicious.
Nan Feng’s strong professionalism made him hold back from twitching his mouth. This absent-minded look on his face, if someone didn’t know, they might think that he had a girlfriend. Maybe even if he had a girlfriend, it would not be so exaggerated. The Gu family really doted on Miss Nuan Nuan.
He didn’t know if Miss Nuan Nuan would be able to get married when she grew up. He could already guess that her big brother would feel particularly heartbroken and might even carry a 70-meter-long sword to chop people.
Gu Nan pursed his lips and said, “Did something happen to Nuan Nuan?”
Nan Feng reminded him tactfully, “You can actually call her and ask her.”
Gu Nan thought for a second and nodded, “You’re right.”
But it seemed a bit exaggerated to call her and ask her just because his sister didn’t send him a message. It would be bad if he left an impression on Nuan Nuan that he was unstable.
In fact… he was just overthinking.
The phone beeped twice when he called, and the other party picked up the call.
“Hey? Big brother?”
Gu Nan hummed. He was not very good at talking, so he just hummed and didn’t say anything else, which made Nan Feng anxious. You should say something.
Gu Nan coughed and asked, “What are you doing?”
Nuan Nuan’s soft and tender voice came through the phone, “Mother and I are learning to cook in the kitchen. Big brother, have you eaten well?”
“I have.”
“Oh, big brother, you have to come back early today. Nuan Nuan and mother are waiting for you at home. I am washing fruits now, so I have not sent you a message. You should have a good rest and don’t be too tired…”
Nuan Nuan’s little mouth chattered a lot. Gu Nan hummed from time to time and listened patiently. After this call, his frown finally relaxed.
Nan Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Only Miss Nuan Nuan could make his boss feel better.
His boss had face paralysis most of the time, and the expression on his cold face was always like a robot, although he looked handsome and cool.
But occasionally when he was in a bad mood and depressed, although the expression on his face did not change, his aura became stronger and more suppressed, causing people around him to tremble with fear. The bad thing was that with his face that had no expression, no one could guess what was wrong with him.
Only Nan Feng, who had been by his side for many years, could occasionally guess his mood.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Gu Nan immediately turned on the workaholic mode, really like a robot, sitting upright in the office chair, with two computers in front of him, hosting two meetings abroad at the same time, and the meetings were still held in different languages.
At the same time, he read the document he had just given him at a glance, pointed out several problems in it, and asked Nan Feng to take it down for rectification.
“Okay, boss!”
Nan Feng left with the document with a standard smile on his face, and clenched his fist when he walked to the door.
In his heart, he instantly turned into a fanboy and screamed wildly.
Ah…ah…ah…ah!!! He is worthy of being his boss, he is so handsome when working!
It was only a second or two, then in a flash he turned into the rigorous and perfect assistant again.
Gu Nan always remembered that Nuan Nuan said that he should go home early today, so he worked intensively for several hours, and his sitting posture basically did not change during this period. Finally, he finished processing all the meeting documents and so on, stood up, picked up the windbreakerm threw it behind him, and put it on himself very coolly.
“Master, there is a party…”
Gu Nan said without thinking, “Cancel it.”
Then, while Nan Feng was feeling hesitant to speak, he went directly to the underground parking lot, got in the car and closed the door in one go.
“Master, but that party…”
“No.”
Nan Feng: “…………”
Please let me finish my words first.
But under his cold and emotionless gaze, Nan Feng still dared not say anything. Forget it, it’s not me who will be scolded anyway.
Nan Feng drove to Gu house.
Shen Yujin, who had prepared a dinner for someone’s birthday with someone’s consent the day before but was stood up, “…………”
He looked at the time and his expression gradually cracked.
At this time, Gu Nan had already arrived home, but the house was quiet, which made him a little confused.
He pushed open the door, and with a bang, colourful fireworks and ribbons fell from the sky onto his head, and his black hair suddenly became shiny.
Staring at the ribbons hanging from his head, Gu Nan’s expression turned rarely dull.
“Happy birthday, big brother!”
“Happy birthday, big brother!”
The lively voices came instantly, and he turned around and saw that his whole family, except for his second brother, was neatly surrounding him.
And his dear sister and mother were holding fireworks sticks in their hands, laughing happily.
Gu Nan: “…………”
He basically never celebrated his birthday at home after growing up, one reason was that he was really busy, and the other was that he thought it was childish.
Unexpectedly, his family gave him a surprise today.
He took off the ribbons on his head and asked calmly, “Why did you think of celebrating my birthday?”
Nuan Nuan looked at him eagerly, “It was Nuan Nuan who wanted to celebrate her big brother’s birthday.”
As she said that, she opened her little arms and fell from her father’s arms.
Gu Nan caught the little girl very easily.
“Happy birthday, big brother. We have prepared gifts for you.”
Gu Nan hummed, and walked in with Nuan Nuan in his arms. Then he saw the birthday cake on the table. Perhaps because they knew that he didn’t like such sweet desserts, the surface of the cake was inlaid with various fruits.
“Big brother, this is made for you by mother and me.”
Gu Nan looked at the cake and then at the little girl in his arms, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
“Well, thank you.”
“You’re welcome, come and eat, it’s a pity that the second brother is not coming back today.”
As soon as her voice fell, a gentle voice with a smile came from the door.
“Who said I’m not coming back?”
The little girl in Gu Nan’s arms opened her eyes wide in surprise when she heard this familiar voice, twisting her little neck to look outside, and Gu Nan also turned his head to look over.
They saw a tall and handsome young man standing at the door, his short black hair was blown up by the wind, and under the light, he revealed a face similar to Gu Nan but with a gentle smile.
“Second brother!”
Nuan Nuan shouted happily.
Gu Nan put her down, and Nuan Nuan ran over with her short legs and hugged the man at the door in an instant.
“Second brother.”
Perhaps because he had just come back from outside, Gu Bei felt a little cold, but Nuan Nuan didn’t care. She hugged his neck tightly with her little arms, and buried her whole little face in his neck like a kitten, arching her head intimately.
After not seeing her second brother for so long, the little girl’s eyes turned red on seeing him now, like a pitiful little rabbit.
Gu Bei hugged the little girl in his arms, after all he missed his sister too.
The research that would have taken some time to complete was completed by him working overtime and staying up late. Of course, there might have been a little luck involved as well, but it didn’t prevent the result from being perfect.
“Professor…Professor!”
At this warm moment, the two guards who were almost crushed by the luggage shouted professor with difficulty.
Gu Bei rubbed Nuan Nuan’s little head and smiled at the two young and strong guards who were originally supposed to be protecting him.
“Oh, sorry, put the things inside.”
The two of them quickly carried the big and small bags and put them down, then saluted in a standard military salute.
“Please collect them.”
Looking at the big and small bags on the ground, the Gu family members: “…………”
Mother Gu’s eyelids twitched. “Are these all from my second child?”
One of the boys laughed. “Yes, they are all from Professor Gu, but… there are more.”
After that, the two ran away again, followed by Comrade Mu Qing who was carrying the luggage.
“Professor, you have another truckload of things!”
Everyone: “…………”
What on earth did you buy!
Gu Bei smiled a little embarrassedly. “These are some gifts I bought for everyone in City A, and some of my experimental equipment.”
Several young people ran several times before moving all the things Gu Bei brought back. Looking at the things that were almost piled up like a small mountain, they realized Gu Bei was also a talent!
Everyone helped for a long time to sort out these things. Among them, the gifts bought for Nuan Nuan occupied four large suitcases.
Nuan Nuan was stunned.
Father Gu patted the shoulders of several young people and said in a heavy tone, “Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s not hard!”
