5 - Being haughty because of one’s master’s love and indulgence

11 min read2,719 words

Gu Han was very confident in his wallet, but he forgot that today was the weekend when the city was full of traffic congestion. The Seascape was on the diagonal side of his company, and it’s the direction out of the city. The dark and shiny Maybach Zeppelin and the dirty Jinbei Van were squeezed closely together and whoever moved the car first was the dog [1] as the traffic was quite solid.

Boss Gu looked at his watch impatiently. Suddenly, his mobile phone received messages and bank prompts one after another.

He excitedly took a look, ooh! What bits and pieces did little quail buy? 50000, 100000, like squeezing toothpaste out of the tube [2] .

And moreover, what is your problem of sending Wechat pictures for everything you buy? Doing a live broadcast shopping?

In a pile of colorful pictures, the eagle-eyed Gu Han finally found a very short message from the little quail:

[ Charging Baby: the perfume seller gifted me a textbook. Mr. Gu, I will study hard! ]

Gu Han was rather baffled and took a look at the picture carefully. It’s terrific! It’s an Indian erotic Yoga double cultivation treasured book!

Boss Gu got an old blood stuck in his throat. He would not be killed by the mad dog Zhou Kai in this life, but he might be killed by Pei Xian first!

There was not much time left for Gu Han to get to the Seascape, so he told Pei Xian to wait in the Ferrari Hall on the first floor. He certainly had to pay a large price to rush before the task time. Otherwise, he would probably get a negative score by this awesome [3] dog licking [4] system!

Gu Han took Pei Xian in front of a fiery Enzo Ferrari 488, “that’s it, buy it!”

The sports car with a low head and narrow headlights cost 3.18 million yuan, was like a shark jumping on the Shanghai Coast. It’s loud and dynamic. At about this time in his last life, he also gave Xiao Yuhang one.

Xiao Yuhang, who placed himself above the common populace and dreamed of living in the Moon Palace for a long time, could not resist the temptation. After some pushing, he reluctantly accepted, but chose a low-key black color.

He didn’t believe that little quail could be more terrible than Xiao Yuhang, the master of forcing?!

Face slapping came too soon; he got to know a new generation of Heavenly King——Pei Xian!

Pei Xian held the black gold card and looked at him with unyielding eyes. A lousy car with a marveling looks worth 3 million was accounted to one tenth of his total salary! This toy was ugly to the point of offensively conspicuous. When the time came to run away, he could not take it. Why would he buy it?

“Mr. Gu, I can’t drive. If you don’t mind, can you give me the cash?” Pei Xian said seriously with his back to the ugly car.

When Gu Han heard the reason, it was like a flower pot falling from the sky and “pa” fell to pieces. At the same time, the countdown for the end of the system task sounded.

The ‘concern and care for villain’s IQ system’ sent task prompt:

[ The system task is closed for settlement. This task gains one unit of energy. At present, the system energy is 0. Please make further efforts. It’s everyone’s duty to take good care of Xianxian! ]

Gu Han looked at the energy tank of at least 100 units and the energy that was still 0 as he fell into despair. Abruptly, he held Pei Xian firmly trapped in his arms.

Pei Xian, whose face was written with two big words of ‘extreme shame’, was at a loss. In the light of the contract, he looked up to the man’s face and let him do whatever he wanted. He added without fear, “Mr. Gu, what do you think of cashing 80% of it? Um… If not, 70% of it?”

Gu Han smiled insidiously and slowly lowered his head to meet Pei Xian’s sensitive ear tip. He said softly and hoarsely, “Baby, don’t dream!”

Then he took Pei Xian’s small waist and pulled the man into his embrace, “Let’s go home! It’s already good that I don’t deduct your salary! Cashing? Why don’t you die!”

Pei Xian, who didn’t buy a car and didn’t make a dime, was dragged away by Gu Han. Simultaneously, he took out his mobile phone and changed Gu Han’s remarks from “the world’s first big philanthropist” to “the world’s first Zhou [5] the exploiter “!

On the way home, Gu Han wondered: Pei Xian had greened Zhou Kai on the spot for 30 million yuan, but he was holding the infinite black gold card and swiping it for all the worthless things. He wanted to buy Pei Xian luxury sports car, but Pei Xian wanted to cash it instead? It’s such a mind boggling move. Did the kid sleep until he become stupid?

On the way back to the villa with a steady speed, Pei Xian helplessly watched 3 million fly away while feeling unreconciled. He must have failed to grasp the boss’s heart because of his lack of knowledge and skill.

Thus, he took out the newly bought gold pen worth more than 100000 yuan and 30000 yuan gem version of big chapel’s ledger, opened the mysterious Yoga textbooks, and prepared to well honed his qualifications. Since his face couldn’t grasp the boss’s heart, at least his skill should be able to grasp the boss’s body. He was going to strive to raise the cash rate and save enough running capital before Xiao Yuhang came back! Fist pump!

There was a lot of space in the car, so Gu Han didn’t clearly see what he was doing. He took a closer look at it and turned pale with fright!

Who the fcuk looks at pornographic comic strips spread on the legs and making notes while reading it without the change of expression, a prodigy species of Olympiad spirit?

Gu Han’s heart stopped beating in an instant! Although he was well-known as a silk-clothed frivolous man, he lived a decent life from childhood. If he dared to play like this at the age of 19, the Gu family’s elder would have to beat him back to his mother’s belly.

Boss Gu, whose young mind had received a devastating blow, snatched the little yellow Yoga book and threw it directly under the seat. He snapped like finding his son’s porn book and said, “You’re not allowed to play with these vulgar things in the future!”

Pei Xian slowly closed the notebook and the golden pen. “Mr. Gu, I know my qualifications are not good. Please don’t worry. I will make rapid progress.”

“No! Baby, you don’t need this kind of qualification!” Gu Han looked at Pei Xian’s innocent small face with hundred thousand of rejections in his heart; it is fine as long as you act honestly as a portable charger.

Feeling awkward, Pei Xian said in a low voice, “Mr. Gu, you said I don’t look like Mr. Xiao and neither have I a qualification, then will I be fired?”

Gu Han ground his back molars before he followed Pei Xian’s exotic train of thought as he said: “Xiao Yuhang is an Immortal Man who place himself above the common populace, and you are all sort of evildoer running all over the mountains and plains! It’s a joke, why do you compare yourself with Xiao Yuhang? Sigh … If you go on like this, you will lose your job. In this global financial crisis, 30 million salary jobs are hard to find.”

“Mr. Gu, tell me more about Mr. Xiao. I can learn.” Pei Xian looked down and stealthily grabbed Gu Han’s sleeve, while inwardly, he rolled his eyes. Hehe, you deserve to go bankrupt as you can’t even tell a man from a ghost.

Gu Han pulled out his sleeve and swatted open Pei Xian’s dirty claws. He continued to say against his will, “Xiao Yuhang is a reserved, introverted and self-restraint person. First of all, you should put down the vulgar interests. Porn book, porn drawing and the third rate movie <The Law of Mistress> are all forbidden from today on!”

Pei Xian looked up to the roof of the car after his path of learning for professional career was repeatedly smashed. Ten thousand of him didn’t understand it. He even thought Gu Han was abnormal as Gu Han could not touch Xiao Yuhang or hug him, let alone feel satisfied! Aside from spending money on him, what did he want him to do? Marry home, kneel down and convert?

“Xiao Yuhang has talent and ability…. And trickery, too.” Gu Han continued to educate Pei Xian, saying as he looked pensive and silently added in his heart, “it’s a pity that he only loves money and himself.”

The irksome thoughts were fleeting, so long as he caught sight of the dead fish-eyed Pei Xian, he thought it was very funny, “you have the ability, in particular, you can sleep! Even pigs don’t sleep for 14 hours! In the future, you must get up on time. You are not allowed to sleep anytime. If you are bored, you can go out for a stroll. Or I will ask the life secretary [6] to accompany you to participate in some activities beneficial to your mental and physical health.”

“…” Pei Xian’s face was expressionless but inwardly, he was at a loss. He didn’t look like a substitute lover, but rather a son for the other person? Forget it, for the 30 million and looking forward to life, the boss can become a father!

Back home, the aunt had prepared the meal. In the Seascape, Pei Xian went shopping, eat and drink, while Gu Han had been trapped in a traffic jam for two hours that he did not even get a drink of water.

Gu Han took off his suit coat and loosened his tie, As soon as he turned around, he saw Pei Xian beating out a yawn until the sky [7] and was softly on the sofa with both eyes looked blank.

“One, two, three…” Sure enough as he silently counted to three, Pei Xian closed his eyes, chin against the armrest of the sofa, and happily began to play chess with Duke Zhou. [8]

Although Pei Xian had been fully integrated into this world, his soul seemed to have not been freed from the hard fatigue of the last life. It was a kind of unforgettable fatigue, wearing into the skin, flesh and deep into the bone marrow….

Gu Han turned around in place with his arms on his hips. As he was truly afraid that Pei Xian would have something wrong as that day when he slept, he walked forward, intending to wake up Pei Xian.

Uncle Lin came to stop him quietly, with a thin blanket on his arm. “Has Young Master Pei had dinner?”

“Yes.” Gu Han frowned as he observed, and replied in absent-minded.

"

"

“Let him sleep if he has had dinner.” The old butler gently covered Pei Xian with the blanket. “Young Master Pei has only slept for ten hours today. He has made a lot of progress. It’s a slow process to quit smoking, alcohol or drugs, let alone stop sleeping.”

Gu Han sighed and even doubted whether it was because of charging him that the little quail had to go to sleep to replenish his energy? And that hired quack too; after checking the body, drawing blood to do a lot of tests, but in the end, not a damn problem could be found out! Useless!

“Ding” suddenly a particular ringtone came from his personal mobile phone.

Gu Han took a look and to his surprise, it was Xiao Yuhang?! Since he came back with Pei Xian, he had been living a very busy life and didn’t spare any time for this Immortal Man.

In his previous life, he chased Xiao Yuhang very humbly. His mobile phone message’s tone was set with particular ringtone, so as to follow the white moonlight’s orders at the first response.

Moreover, the number of Xiao Yuhang actively contacted him could be counted on one hand, but Gu Han did not remember (in last life) that Xiao Yuhang looked for him at this time?

The message was only a short line:

[ Brother Han, I suddenly feel lonely without you on my birthday. ]

Gu Han was speechless, which reminded him that in his last life, he chartered a plane to take Xiao Yuhang’s relatives and friends to Las Vegas, held a birthday party for him on the top floor of the world-famous luxury hotel “Palm Island”, and gave him the black Ferrari 488.

At this time, the last life’s unforgettable happy moments seemed like another life, as unreal as a cloud. No wonder he felt familiar when he gifted the little quail a car in the evening.

He had thrown a lot of money for Xiao Yuhang and tried his best to send him to the throne of movie emperor. Then? When he went bankrupt, Xiao Yuhang was not better than a passer-by. In a second, he announced his engagement with a famous director.

From first to last, Xiao Yuhang didn’t take a fancy on him as a person, just his money. But (XYH) he’s more scheming than anyone; glossing things silently as he made you to offer money, power and reputation on your own initiative, and he would always stand in the same place with the winner’s attitude, without leaves touching his person [9] .

"

"

“Ah…” Gu Han mockingly laughed at himself. There was no more disturbance in his mind, it was impossible to make the same mistake twice.

[ Happy birthday to you. smilingface.jpg ]

More than 10000 kilometers away in Las Vegas, the lights of early morning outside the window flickered, Xiao Yuhang just came back from all night birthday party to the hotel room.

This birthday was far away from his imagination. Top hotel, celebrity guests, luxury party, famous car and watches, golden champagne tower… Without Gu Han, everything was a long way off.

Seeing the reply, Xiao Yuhang shook the ice in his glass. He didn’t understand why Gu Han suddenly lost contact with him. The big fish seemed to be slowly breaking away from his grasp.

Gu Han had been eating his bait for several years, but suddenly he didn’t eat it for no reason? Xiao Yuhang was a little fidgety. He picked up his mobile phone, “Xiaoqin, book me a ticket for the day after tomorrow. I want to go back home.”

“Mr. Xiao, the film festival is not over yet, can we depart early? Don’t need to follow… ”

“What nonsense, I call you to book, just book it!” Xiao Yuhang hung up irritably.

He was the youngest actor in China who wandered in Hollywood. For five years, he had achieved nothing. The past praises and flatters had gone with the wind. He was afraid that if he didn’t return to China for development, no one would remember him. He had meticulously hung on the cash cow Gu Han, and in no way possible he would let others to take him at such a critical point of time!

The author has something to say:

Xianxian with two hands flying on the calculator: Boss, cash rate 80%, understand!

Boss Gu, who has reached the end of his forbear: Scram!
