Christmas and New Year 2025 Update…. Happy bonus update, you guys….


Gu Bei, this guy, since he came back last time and went shopping with Nuan Nuan, it was like he turned on some strange switch, and he bought even more things this time.

“Oh, by the way, I also liked a plane…”

Everyone: “Shut up!”

Gu Bei “…Oh.”

What’s wrong with him spending his own money!

A good birthday was almost turned into a comedy show by Gu Bei, but fortunately it got back on track in the end.

“Come on, big brother and second brother, blow out the candles.”

After blowing out the candles, they began to share the cake. Although Gu Bei didn’t like to eat such sweet food, he still ate it because his sister and mother made it.

After eating the cake, Nuan Nuan ran over with two gift boxes in her hands to give to her big brother and second brother.

“Big Brother, Second Brother, gifts.”

The two took the gift boxes and opened them. Two scarves of different colours but in line with their preferences and temperaments were neatly stacked in the boxes.

After Nuan Nuan gave them out, she stared at the two of them eagerly, poking her fingers nervously.

“Big brother and second brother, do you like Nuan Nuan’s gift?”

The little girl’s voice was obviously nervous. Both of them were not stupid, and they had a guess in their hearts at the same time.

Gu Nan and Gu Bei squatted down at the same time and hugged the nervous little girl and said in unison.

“Yeah, I like it.”

There was both pampering and tenderness in their tone.

Nuan Nuan was held in the arms of her eldest brother and the second brother at the same time, so she had a soft, sweet and well-behaved smile on her face, and her beautiful almond eyes were curved into beautiful little crescents, looking sparkling and beautiful.

“These scarves were knitted by Nuan Nuan herself.”

Gu Mingli said sourly from the side, his eyes almost glued to the two scarves.

The other brothers: “!!!”

Nuan Nuan knitted it herself!

Their eyes that looked at the two scarves gradually became strange.

The two brothers Gu Nan and Gu Bei hugged their scarves to their chest silently.

The two people: Ha… dare to come and snatch it from them?

Gu An: “I don’t care, I don’t care, I also want my sister to knit a scarf for me on my birthday.”

Mother Gu punched him: “Your birthday is in the summer, silly son.”

Gu An looked at Nuan Nuan stubbornly.

Nuan Nuan blinked her eyes and said, “Brother will also have a gift.”

Gu An was satisfied and stopped making trouble.

This birthday was indeed a big surprise for the two brothers Gu Nan and Gu Bei.

Mother Gu looked at the bustling family and felt a little sad and wanted to cry for some reason.

The sons grew up gradually, and they also spread their wings and flew away from the nest. Such that sometimes they were so busy that they could not come back even once a year.

Now that Nuan Nuan had come back, she could often see the two little brats. The family was also getting more and more lively. It was really great.

Gu Linmo put his arm around her shoulders and smiled.

Amid this lively atmosphere, Gu Nan’s phone vibrated.

He didn’t care at first, but it vibrated several times.

He frowned and took out his phone just to see that it was a message from Shen Yujin.

Shen Yujin: Where are you?

Shen Yujin: My goodness, did you drive to Mars? (▼皿▼#)

Shen Yujin: You stood me up!!!

Gu Nan: “…………”

Ah… He said that he seemed to have forgotten something.

Gu Nan: “I forgot.”

Gu Nan: “I’m home.” [Picture]

Gu Nan: “The gift that Nuan Nuan gave me.”

It seemed that it was not enough. After thinking about it, he added another expression.

Gu Nan: “^^”

He should be happy about the gift from his sister.

Shen Yujin: “………”

Words were not enough to describe his mood at the moment. He used to think that the two brothers Gu Mingli and Gu Mingyue were shitty, but now it seemed that his good friend was even worse than them!

He had been waiting here for a long time, but Gu Nan actually forgot, forgot!!!

He said he forgot, then he even sent a gift to show off, didn’t he remember that he stood them up, his brothers!

How could he be so stupid!

With such low EQ, he could only be a boss in the business world with his robot-like abilities and robot-like expressions!

Shen Yujin was furious and told the people he called there to eat by themselves. He then paid the bill and drove to the Gu family villa!

Mother Gu and the others expressed their special welcome at his arrival.

“Yujin is here. You’re the only one who remembers A Nan’s birthday and takes him out for dinner every year. This brat doesn’t even have many friends. How old is he? He’s acting like an old cadre, acting like he’s the same generation as his dad.”

Shen Yujin had a smile on his face, and his peach blossom eyes slanted towards Gu Nan. But he kept feeding his sister as if he didn’t see him.

Shen Yujin had a smile on his face and thought to himself, this guy is so lucky to have a friend like me!

“Gu Nan!”

Gu Nan stuffed a grape into Nuan Nuan’s mouth, and the two looked up at him at the same time.

Nuan Nuan then raised her paw and waved, “Brother Yujin~”

Gu Nan: “Why are you here?”

Shen Yujin sat down beside him, took a piece of cake with a depressed look on his face and started eating.

“What do you think? You stood me up, so why can’t I come by myself? And you ask me why I came!”

Isn’t it infuriating!

Gu Nan said expressionlessly, “When did you come?”

Shen Yujin gave him an angry look and didn’t want to talk anymore. If he said anything else, he would be pissed to death.

Gu Nan glanced at him, a little puzzled why he suddenly stopped talking.

But it didn’t matter. He took out the scarf that Nuan Nuan gave him and showed it off in front of Shen Yujin.

“Does it look good? Nuan Nuan gave it to me.”

Shen Yujin “…Good! Look!”

This guy was really stupid and didn’t see that he was angry!

Gu Nan hummed coldly, then put it in his hand and said even more infuriatingly.

“Take it and touch it, and give it back to me in two seconds.”

After putting it in Shen Yujin’s hand and counting two seconds silently in his heart, Gu Nan took it back by himself, folded it neatly and put it in the box very preciously.

Shen Yujin: Can he beat this man to death^-^

Although he was very angry, it was obviously impossible to beat this man to death. After so many years, how could he break off the friendship?

After the birthday celebration, everyone had a lively meal together. During the meal, some people drank. Seeing this, Gu Bei held the wine glass and sniffed it like a dog.

His work was more important and there could be no mistakes, so the members of the institute were basically not allowed to drink.

But it was an exception when he came home on vacation. He had never drunk before, but he was happy today.

So Gu Bei, who had never drunk before, wanted to also drink.

He took a small sip of the wine glass and frowned. It smelled good, but it tasted…

Huh? It seemed good?

Gu Bei’s brows loosened, holding the wine glass and looking up, then under the horrified eyes of the two guards and the assistant…drank it in one gulp.

“Professor!”

Everyone’s eyes immediately looked over, and then saw his hand that had not yet been retracted and the empty wine glass.

The air suddenly became quiet…

Gu Bei: “You are all watching me do…”

Before he finished the last two words, Gu Bei felt dizzy, and then his head hit the table and he fainted.

Everyone: “…………”

The legendary one cup knockout?

Gu Linmo pinched the bridge of his nose, “Don’t worry, he doesn’t have to work tomorrow.”

The two guards and the assistant thought about it and relaxed. That’s right, he doesn’t have to work tomorrow, but… his head might hurt when he wakes up tomorrow.

After sending Gu Bei to bed, everyone had almost finished eating.

Bai Moshu pinched the back of his brother’s neck and said goodbye.

“Aunt and uncle, my brother and I will go back first.”

Bai Moshu was currently living in the villa that Bai Mohua had bought in Nanjin Biewan.

Gu Linmo: “I’ll ask the driver to take you.”

Nuan Nuan also followed him out like a little tail.

When leaving, Bai Moshu rubbed the little girl’s head, “Little one, go back.”

The little girl nodded obediently, “Bye, cousin and second cousin.”

After the two brothers left, Shen Yujin also said goodbye and left.

Nuan Nuan was hugged by her elder brother, with the scarf she gave him around his neck, and the one scarf was around both her and her elder brother’s necks.

“Goodbye.”

Shen Yujin felt comforted. Yes, he was so useless and so easily satisfied. It was not easy for this guy to come out and see him off.

Alas… How could his good friend’s future girlfriend stand him?

The lively atmosphere gradually became quiet. The servants of the Gu family cleaned up the leftovers on the table, and Gu Nan and the others were ready to go to bed.

Soon it was the next day, and Gu Nan went to work early in the morning with his scarf.

And he didn’t take off the scarf even when he got indoors.

He walked around the company with the scarf, alas… he just didn’t say anything.

It made everyone in the company tremble with fear and think they had done something wrong.

Nan Feng, who knew the inside story, “…………”

His boss was really very stuffy.

Seeing that everyone was trembling with the strong sense of oppression from the boss, the beast king, patrolling the territory, and that no one praised his scarf, Nan Feng broke out in a cold sweat.

“Boss, I’m going to the bathroom.”

If this kept going on, he might lose his bonus this month!

So he quickly went to the bathroom, took out his phone at lightning speed and typed a message to the work group without the boss.

Everyone, the scarf on the boss’s neck was given by Nuan Nuan as a birthday gift yesterday. I can only help you up to this point.

Two seconds later…

Got it, thank you Assistant Nan for saving my life!

Got it! So that’s it!

Got it, thank you for saving my life!
