Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

At this moment, Pei Mingxu's mood was very complicated.

I feel confused that I still can't see his true character clearly after many years of getting along with him, and I also feel a bit disappointed.

Pei Mingxu knew that Gu Cheng was never the kind of little fox with a bad temper that he thought, but a cunning and cunning fox.

Realizing that the credibility of the royal family was growing year by year and that some industries were gradually out of their control, the Adam family immediately turned into a faggot and introduced Brian, a person with whom he had a schoolmate friendship, who was aware of current affairs and had the ability to win over people's hearts.

Pei Mingxu had seen the farce between Brian and Gu Cheng when they were young.

Although I know that Gu Cheng doesn't mind being colleagues with hostile people.

After all, those who once ridiculed him are now working under him honestly for the benefit of the family, and sometimes they will obey Gu Cheng's orders and cooperate with investigations.

But during his work report that month, he still mentioned it to Gu Cheng.

The first is to express his attention, and the second is to see his true reaction.

Most of those who ridiculed him were just making small fuss, but Brian was the one who really said that he would have his hands and feet amputated.

However, Pei Mingxu thought that if he really couldn't let go of his grudges, he wouldn't force it. At most, he would just ask someone else from Adam's family to come over.

Gu Cheng is more important than Brian.

But Gu Cheng didn't feel displeased at that time. He still smiled and said without hesitation: "His Highness will naturally recruit people who are useful to His Highness. The grudge between Brian and I was settled on the spot."

At that time, he just felt that Gu Cheng was too considerate.

He does not shy away from hatred when he is external, and he only thinks about him.

But on the day he talked with Brian, he understood the true meaning of the last sentence.

Brian seemed to be feeling regretful and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, I don't intend to hide it from you. Although meditation has become popular, I don't have the ability to learn it."

"My grandfather looked for many famous doctors for me, and it was only after I was diagnosed by Lance, a famous doctor who has made great achievements in the Meridian School, that I realized that the small punishments and big warnings given by Mr. Gu at that time did not really let me go, but cut off my spirit. The possibility of improving strength.”

That day, Pei Mingxu had a new understanding of Gu Cheng's character, but he chose not to comment.

It's just karma.

However, his filter for Gu Cheng was indeed missing.

As for now, regarding the fact that Gu Cheng was content with the status quo and had moved on to someone else, he was silent for a while and said, "No need to pay attention to him anymore."

Since Gu Cheng didn't intend to pester him, there was no need for Pei Mingxu to keep staring at him.

Just stay well.

Ruth nodded in agreement.

Regarding Gu Cheng, the emperor and his ministers tacitly agreed not to mention it again. Therefore, they naturally did not know that Gu Cheng was accumulating strength and preparing to do something big.

After staying at the Cultural Affairs Bureau for a month and things calmed down, Gu Cheng also officially confirmed his relationship with James.

Mainly because James tried not to hide his affection and closeness to him at all. Although Gu Cheng was repeatedly pushed past his limits, he did not find it difficult to accept it.

How could he resent being loved passionately?

In the early morning, Gu Cheng stood under the small foreign-style building where James lived alone. The breeze was blowing his hair. On the spire-shaped circular terrace, James was wearing a cotton nightgown and was waving to him happily and calling. his name.

"Brother~"

Gu Cheng smiled and waved to him.

James raised his voice and said, "Brother, wait for me for a while, I'll be down soon!"

Before Gu Cheng could nod, James ran into the building in a hurry. His white ankles exposed his nightgown, which was actually a bit whiter than the nightgown.

Gu Cheng lowered his head, without any intention of urging. He just stood quietly outside the carved metal door, staring through the gap at the crimson door surrounded by flowers and plants.

Not long after, James ran towards him like a small cannonball, holding a steady black briefcase.

It's just that his orange suit and slightly childish face look so incompatible with it.

It's like a child wearing adult clothes, trying to give everyone a mature and stable external image, but unable to hide the clear stupidity in his eyes.

The dark golden metal door parted from both sides, and James rushed into his arms, panting slightly.

Gu Cheng had expected it and caught him without hesitation.

He patted James on the back to cheer him up.

James enjoyed Gu Cheng's service freely. After his breathing stabilized, he complained indifferently: "Brother, why don't I buy a house next to your apartment? The road out is a bit far. Every day If I have to run around all the time, I will lose weight."

As he spoke, he looked up to see Gu Cheng's expression. Gu Cheng lowered his head slightly and smiled softly: "Okay."

"But I plan to change to a house closer to the Cultural Affairs Bureau. The current commuting time is still too long."

James understood, and then withdrew from his embrace, his eyes lit up: "Brother, have you chosen your position?"

Gu Cheng did not answer immediately, but put James into the passenger seat like a gentleman. After the hover car drove smoothly, he said: "Not yet, but I have asked my friends and roughly selected it in the Nuoan District."

In Nuo'an District, the people who live here all year round are staff working in government buildings.

Therefore, this area also has the nickname of Government Quarters.

James said: "Noan District, it's really good there. Both the quality of the houses and the environment are first-class. No one dares to cheat on the houses in Noan District."

"You know that very well?" Gu Cheng asked.

James said nonchalantly: "Uncle wanted to give me his villa there before, but I didn't want it."

Hearing this, Gu Cheng turned his head slightly, but met James with a "Come and ask me why" expression on his face.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he followed James's wishes and asked, "Why not?"

James suddenly became energetic, holding his hand with a smile and leaning on his shoulder, his words seemed to be filled with honey.

"Of course it's for you, idiot Brother Cheng."

He thought to himself and said: "Although Nuo'an District is convenient, it is extremely troublesome every time I pass through the gate."

"What if one day you fall in love and want to come to me, but are blocked from the door because of this hurdle, I will be sick just thinking about it."

Although Gu Cheng had a rough guess about the reason, guessing and hearing it with his own ears were two different feelings.

At this moment, he felt that the tip of his heart was soft.

In the quiet space, the two people were close to each other, and their breaths seemed to blend slowly.

The young man with soft raven black hair expressed his uneasiness and affection in a friendly tone.

The city buildings outside the window were passing by quickly, and only James beside him, like a luminous body, occupied all his eyes.

Gu Cheng's throat rolled and his voice was hoarse and low.

"No, if I really like someone, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, I will not give up easily."

"Unless that person gives up on me first."

Gu Cheng looked at James's tangled hair and said solemnly: "James, as long as you don't change your mind, I will definitely not let you down."

James arched his eyebrows and smiled, and held Gu Cheng's hands tighter: "I will never change my heart. You are the treasure I have worked hard for for many years, and I will never let go!"

Seeing his nervous and possessive look, Gu Cheng smiled lightly, rubbed the top of his hair and said nothing.
