If you want to take it, you must give it first; if you want to destroy it, you must learn it first.

Pei Xian recited the ancestor’s famous words as he readied to go home to bleed Gu Han and anger Xiao Yuhang! Mwahaha! He happily led the big shot alpaca home with head held high.

Gu Han was a little busy recently. He and several close friends in the same business fancied a piece of cheap land in the western side of Leisure City, intending to make it into a retirement estate.

Gu Corporation owned a very famous insurance company domestically and had a good reputation for selling many supporting products for the retired elderly. Nowadays, the aging population rate intensified the demand for retirement services to run high. These kinds of breaking barrier united property products were few in the society, but he knew that in the near future, this land would be a blue ocean [1] . Thus, he must make preparation in advance.

In his last life, he was busy lapping Xiao Yuhang in the first half of his life and being beaten by Zhou Kai in the second half. In the end, Xiao Yuhang became the Superstar Emperor, Zhou Kai wiped out the hegemony in whole and he was killed directly, which could be regarded as a typical example of dying without doing one’s proper duty.

Starting over in this life, aside from dealing with the little battery that made him overwrought, he could say that he devoted himself to his career. Due to the influence of the male protagonist’s “wisdom halo”, he could not give Zhou Kai a stumbling block. Therefore, he could only reinforce the defense by making his company bigger and stronger.

Gu Han worked overtime all night before going to bed and he lit up the table lamp to read data.

Suddenly the bedroom door opened slightly and Pei Xian was standing at the doorway in his pajamas, holding a big soft pillow. Pei Xian didn’t speak even when he stepped on the gray plush carpet barefooted and looked straight at him, unabashedly seduced him.

Gu Han broke in cold shiver and sat up to tune the table lamp’s brightness. “It’s dark, wha-what are you doing?”

“Hubby~ sleepy.” Pei Xian’s face was buried in the pillow, his expression obscured.

Boss Gu was used to pick up his mobile phone and open the online bank transfer page, “Just say how much?”

Last time, the word “hubby” rebated 470k, this time with 'sleepy” he was afraid that it was not going to be cheap, his wallet really hurt these days!

Don’t think of sending people away with a pittance of a profit! Xiao Yuhang got tens of millions without the need to call him husband! Even if he’s a fake, he could get 50% rebate, right? Pei Xian covered his face as he felt sour and turned into a human shaped lemon.

He quickly crawled sideways into the bed like a crab, put the pillow beside Gu Han and shed crocodile tears, “Hubby, I don’t want your money, I’m…”

“Stop! If you call hubby and still don’t want money, I’ll have the illusion of going bankrupt.” In grief and indignation, Gu Han supported his forehead.

Pei Xian blushed as he was said to be like a bandit tyrant on the road. He rubbed his hands in embarrassment and desperately tried to find an excuse. He totally couldn’t say “Mister Gu, your mama has paid for it” , right?

After contemplating for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: “This really doesn’t require money, just want to give you anniversary reward as the new and old customer, a complimentary one-time companionship package.”

“Huh??? Anniversary?” Boss Gu was more alerted. Are you guys listening to this person?

Pei Xian scooted forward again and the more he spoke, the lower his volume was. He poked Gu Han’s arm with his finger, “We are living in Chinese calendar years [2] here, advanced…. advanced anniversary.”

Under the warm dim light, he slightly bowed his head, the quick-witted big eyes obscured, only the long and dense eyelashes casted a faint shadow. Although Gu Han felt that the pie which fell from the sky might be wrapped with discus, his heart suddenly felt a little itch that he wanted to eat the discus.

“Really don’t want money?” Gu Han opened the quilt and let him in. He rubbed the soft hair on Pei Xian’s head. “You want to lay down the butcher’s knife to become a Buddha on the spot [3] ?”

Pei Xian hugged his strong waist, gave up his pillow and lay on him as he sighed deeply, “Mister Gu, you are the best best best boss in the world.”

Gu Han felt a little cold on his neck. The little quail’s approach was obviously like sharpening his knife to slaughter a big one, looking at him like looking at a big fat pig.

“I suspect that you have acute diabetes, so sweet to have a screw loose?” Gu Han picked him up from his abdomen and looked at him carefully.

"

"

Well… Boss Gu was a little difficult because he was afraid of being slaughtered.

Pei Xian simply didn’t say anything. He put his hand over Gu Han’s eyes and said, “Shh, go to sleep!”

The lighting was ambiguous and the mood was just right. Gu Han tuned the bedside lamp to sleep mode wave band. The warm orange light was like a gentle net cover.

The little quail used the same shampoo and body wash as him that he smelled like a part of his body. It’s so nice!

They hugged each other as they fell asleep. Suddenly, the bedroom door opened with a loud “bang”.

Scared out of his skin, Gu Han hugged Pei Xian tightly and slapped the light on. He saw Gu Caocao stood in front of the bed with its big nostrils fanning out and dragged out a hidden bitterness tone, “ Ohn …”

When it was half asleep, it found out that Pei Xian was gone. The young alpaca was very restless at night as it had just been here for few days. It ran around and couldn’t find any human in the hallway, so it began to knock against the doors one by one and finally caught them in bed!

Sleeping on Gu Han, half asleep Pei Xian thought this was his room. With half-lidded eyes, he called it, “Caocao, come up.”

Gu Caocao was unusually intelligent and jumped onto the bed. It pulled Gu Han away with its hooves and forcibly barged into the middle of the two people with its big fat butt facing Boss Gu. It stopped moving as soon as it was head to head with Pei Xian.

Squeezed into a corner, Gu Han looked at a half-person tall alpaca in horror. If there was no one else covered in his silk [quilt], he would have snore loudly in sleep! Wasn’t there any law?!

In the quiet night, the tired and sleepy Boss Gu was reluctant to leave the little quail, so he had to lean sideways, took a losing position and barely slept.

Who would have known that it’s just the beginning of nightmare…..

Pei Xian’s sleep behavior could be called a spectacle as he scrambled all over the bed, arms and legs swung in extreme misbehaved. Gu Caocao insisted to follow head to head with him that it stretched its hooves and moved its butt to and fro repeatedly all night.

In the dream, Gu Han was kicked on the head, shoulders and butt by Gu Caocao and Pei Xian. In the end, the living without love and extremely sleepy Boss Gu could only roll onto the carpet beside the bed to make do for a night.

The next morning, Gu Caocao got up earlier and secretly ran downstairs to find what it wanted.

Pei Xian, who lost his warm furry blessing, woke up slowly and found himself laying on the big bed alone? Strange, where was Gu Han?

“Hubby, hubby, hubby!” He clung to the quilt and confusedly called out.

Only then he saw a head slowly rose from the bedside, “Your offer of anniversary reward did not require money but life!”

Pei Xian: “…..”

Gu Han propped up his waist and sat up from the carpet. It’s not a companionship package, but clearly a dream of living in widowhood package! Pei Xian wanted to kill him directly and inherit ten billion yuan of property together with Gu Caocao! I know you guys so well! Be careful I will make a will to donate to the society tomorrow! Piss you guys off!

Boss Gu kneaded the butt that was bitten by Gu Caocao and kicked by the little quail, and sat at the side of the bed with a head full of fury.

Pei Xian slept like he was in a coma. He couldn’t remember anything at all. Since the boss had received the service, it’s not too much to ask for a very minor thing, right?

Regardless of how Gu Han slept on the ground, he got out of bed and stood in front of the boss, “Morning, Mister Gu.”

It’s coming, it’s coming! I knew what should come would come, though it arrived late, it never absent! Gu Han only felt that it was dark in front of his eyes and completely without a temper, he leaned on the head of the bed.

Pei Xian looked down at his fingers. “Mister Gu, I have a small, humble, inconspicuous, insignificant wish that I don’t know if it can be granted.”

Gu Han’s serene eyes slowly fell on Pei Xian’s face and he abandoned himself to despair, “I have no money, what I own is only one life!”

“Nonono! I already said I don’t want money.” Pei Xian blinked his sincere big eyes, “It’s for Gu Caocao.”

“???” Gu Han got a little surprised and got up.

Pei Xian turned on his mobile phone and put Gu Caocao’s yesterday’s Weibo in front of Gu Han. “What a beautiful camelid your son is ya ! It told me that it wants to be a star.”

“Wait you…..” Gu Han scratched his head in disbelief. “An alpaca told you that it wanted to be a star?”

Pei Xian firmly nodded and pointed to the screen of the mobile phone, “You see, the trumpet [account] that has not been completely in exposure had so many people praising Caocao beautiful only in one day.”

Gu Han put on his glasses and indeed, there were a lot of comments below. “What do you want to do ah?”

“I just want to make it famous, but I don’t know how to do it except through posts on Weibo.” Pei Xian sighed.

Gu Han considered that it was normal for Pei Xian wanting to show it off because he liked Gu Caocao and there were so many people shared about cats and dogs on Weibo. It’s really a small wish and uhm… he had wronged the little quail.

“How about this; let me tell the secretary to find someone to be responsible for marketing Caocao, okay?” It was late when he looked at the watch and he turned around to hurry into the bathroom.

“Thank you, Mister Gu!” Pei Xian smiled cunningly at the man’s back, [GH] got hooked!

After a while, the full stomach Gu Caocao ran back to play. Pei Xian hugged his full and round big white furry child as he said, “Gu Caocao, we’re going to make our way in the world! Quickly go thank your Daddy.”

After tying his necktie, Gu Han walked out of the cloakroom. As soon as he left the door, he saw the big white alpaca blocking the door and made three deep bows to him, solemnly and respectfully, as if bidding a farewell to the dead.

“I’ve told the secretary about it. He’ll contact you later and tell him if you have any other requests.” Gu Han spoke at the door.

Pei Xian ran up to him as if he wanted to help sort out his necktie but suddenly “puchi”, kissed him on the cheek, “I got it, Mister Gu.”

Ah! Zhen is going to float!

Boss Gu walked out of the door with an undulated stiff face.

At ten o’clock in the morning, Gu Han’s secretary contacted Pei Xian on time.

Pei Xian seriously proclaimed the identity of Gu Caocao to Secretary Ke that it was not an ordinary alpaca, but the only son of Mister Gu. Otherwise, how could Mister Gu allow it to be surnamed Gu?

Gu Caocao’s debut was earth-shattering and heaven-battering extraordinary. Therefore, he wanted to open an alpaca themed coffee shop for Gu Caocao.

Secretary Ke was shocked. In the early morning, the boss just said that there was an alpaca to be refined and told him to coordinate with it fully. However, this Pei Xian was a mysterious figure who was said to have made the boss go crazy in the company, so when the other party said “one”, he didn’t dare to say “two”.

Secretary Ke felt that this was a mission to get him killed. How miserable he was!

Next, Pei Xian asked him to contact an agent to enquire the prices of all the shops selling in Haiguang Street and then asked to find out the program Xiao Yuhang was on the other day from the Internet. After looking frame by frame, he finally discovered the big star Xiao’s most favorite shop front.

He asked Secretary Ke to get in touch with the agent and owner before he led Gu Caocao who wore a small bowtie and employed a driver to drive out the flashing Maybach Zeppelin for the first time, grandiosely murdered towards Haiguang Street!

The author has something to say:

Xianxian sharpening a knife at the back =v= : Mister Gu, I don’t want money, really don’t want money! All for the sake of love!
