CHAPTER 192: CHAPTER 192: GAY GENIUS

Ever since Gu Kuangyuan scolded Gu Qianlan, Qianlan has become much quieter. She no longer made a big fuss and spent the whole day asking Liu Zhiwen to accompany her in the old house. Liang Huiyun didn’t like Liu Zhiwen either and turned a blind eye to it.

An Junxi was afraid her parents would worry if they knew what happened at home. Luckily, their tour group’s departure time had arrived. She sent her parents to the cruise ship at the pier and then returned to Gu’s Headquarters.

Gu Yikun intended to teach her how to manage the business. He told her that since she had shares of the Gu Family, she should at least know about the company’s business and profits.

An Junxi really didn’t have much talent for these things. Besides, the Gu Family’s industries were so broad, it made her feel dizzy, and she often got distracted.

Gu Yikun was helpless, "You’re born to be a young madam. Fine, I’ll focus on earning money, and you go play with photography."

An Junxi was delighted. Photography was a real talent too, and if she did well, it could be a remarkable career. She didn’t have to learn how to manage a business!

She spent all day tinkering with her camera in Gu Yikun’s office. Yue Xiaoyang introduced a teacher to her, who turned out to be the famous photography master You Ran.

You Ran was his artistic name. All of his award-winning works were signed under this name, and no one knew his real name.

She had heard many legendary stories about You Ran. He seemed to live outside the worldly life, with no desires, just carrying a camera around, with no fixed residence. It was said he traveled across seven continents, completing many excellent works along the way.

He established a personal charity fund, and all the money from his award-winning works was donated in full to people in need.

Many admired and envied his carefree lifestyle. He wasn’t after fame or profit and never cared about others’ opinions. He attended any award ceremony dressed casually, never caring about outsiders’ gaze.

An Junxi had admired him for a long time. Now, she could learn photography from him. How could she not be happy?

Seeing her bright eyes, Gu Yikun became jealous, "An Junxi, you can only look at me."

He wouldn’t let this man near his wife, absolutely not!

An Junxi pleaded with him for a long time, but Gu Yikun only had two words, "No way!"

Not only that, Gu Yikun almost beat Yue Xiaoyang up, "What were you thinking, introducing a man to my wife?"

Yue Xiaoyang dodged his punches and shouted, "President Gu, spare me! Listen to my explanation!"

Gu Yikun stopped, "You have one minute to explain."

Yue Xiaoyang clutched his heart, "You really don’t have to worry about your wife falling for someone else. I’d be more worried about you."

Gu Yikun cracked his knuckles, "Speak clearly."

Yue Xiaoyang said slyly, "Don’t tell anyone, but You Ran likes men."

Gu Yikun was stunned for several seconds.

He still insisted, "Even if he likes men, it’s not okay. He’s still a man."

An Junxi had been eavesdropping outside. She couldn’t hold back and rushed in, "Does You Ran really like men?"

Yue Xiaoyang was almost scared to the ground, "Are you trying to scare me to death?"

An Junxi asked again, "Is what you said true?"

Oh my God, the talented and gallant You Ran, who wandered the world like a hero, was actually gay!

His fans would be heartbroken if they knew.

Seeing An Junxi’s reaction, Gu Yikun was very displeased. "What, are you disappointed that You Ran likes men?"

Seeing President Gu’s jealousy, An Junxi quickly tugged his sleeve, "No, it’s just surprising."

Gu Yikun snorted, "Anyway, I don’t agree. I’ll find a female photographer to teach you."

An Junxi pleaded, "But I really like You Ran’s photography style. How about I just take a few classes with him? I’m also afraid he’ll steal my husband!"

Her last sentence made Gu Yikun very happy. He kissed her, "Your attitude is good. You can take... three classes with him, but I must be present the entire time."

An Junxi hugged him, "Best husband ever!"

Yue Xiaoyang covered his eyes with his hands, "Can you two tone it down a bit?"

Gu Yikun said with justification, "This is my office. If you have nothing to do, go back."

Yue Xiaoyang almost spat blood, "Gu Yikun, you’re just using me and discarding me! Where’s your conscience?"

Gu Yikun coldly replied, "It’s not like you’ve only just met me."

Yue Xiaoyang laid on the sofa and refused to leave, "I’ll just be a third wheel here. I like it!"

An Junxi wanted to thank him for introducing her to a good teacher and held back from retorting. She asked, "Isn’t my senior done with work soon? Aren’t you going to pick her up?"

Yue Xiaoyang said, "She’s having dinner with her family tonight." He looked like a lonely woman.

An Junxi laughed unreservedly, "Yue Xiaoyang, you have days like this too!"

Yue Xiaoyang didn’t refute.

He had indeed been enjoying time with Xiao Yu. He had even gotten a bit too involved.

Living together wasn’t as bad as he thought. She would seriously cook a meal for him for hours, accompany him while he worked late, and sometimes when he woke up at night, holding her next to him felt unreal.

Seeing Gu Yikun and An Junxi live so happily, he felt a twinge of envy. Could he and Xiao Yu be like them?

Marriage felt too heavy a burden for him, but the longer he was with her, the harder it was to let go.

If he couldn’t give her a committed title and wasn’t willing to let her go, he felt like a scumbag. He would despise himself.

He knew he couldn’t drag her down forever. There were many excellent men around her. She had more options than just him.

At least he knew Yu Zheng hadn’t given up. If she became someone else’s wife, it would be more painful than death for him.

He had thought many times about taking that step and telling her, "Xiao Yu, let’s get married."

The words were always on the tip of his tongue but never came out. He sighed inwardly, thinking, let’s drag it out another day and hope she would give him time.

The next day, Yue Xiaoyang brought You Ran to Gu’s Headquarters.

Gu Yikun said the classes could only be held in the conference room next to the president’s office. You Ran was a person with character; if he hadn’t owed Yue Xiaoyang a favor, no matter how wealthy President Gu was, he wouldn’t have agreed to take a student, let alone come personally to teach.

When An Junxi saw You Ran in person, he looked just like in the photos. She couldn’t help but say several words of admiration.

Yue Xiaoyang, listening on the side, was glad Gu Yikun was still in a meeting. Otherwise, Gu Yikun would kill him.

You Ran was used to people praising him, so he didn’t take An Junxi’s words seriously and started the lesson.

An Junxi listened attentively and occasionally asked a few tricky questions.

You Ran started getting interested; this student wasn’t like those idiots and was worth teaching seriously.

He unconsciously talked more, and An Junxi took a few pictures of the scenery outside the building, "Teacher, how are these photos?"
