Chapter 169: I’m Not Gay

Translator: Lonelytree

When Xiao Lingyu came out of the internet cafe, her face was pale. When she learned the result, she almost ran out of the internet cafe. Her steps were dragging.

A little girl pointed at Xiao Lingyu and asked her mother, “Mom, what’s wrong with the sister across the street? Is she sick? Should we send her to the hospital?”

Her mother replied with a smile, “The sister is already an adult. If she’s sick, she will know to go to the hospital on her own.”

“Okay.” The little girl nodded.

“Let’s go, baby. Let’s go. Daddy is waiting for us at home.”

“Okay, let’s go, Mommy. Let’s go home quickly!”

Xiao Lingyu came back to her senses after the mother and daughter left, and she heard the cellphone in her bag ringing.

She answered the call in a daze. A concerned voice immediately came from the other side and asked, “Miss Xiao, this is Wang Zhimin. Are you alright? I’ve already made a few calls, but you didn’t pick up. I thought something happened to you.”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Oh, I’m fine.” Then, she remembered she did ask Wang Zhimin to come to her place. Her mind immediately snapped back to reality.

She said, “Manager Wang, are you still at my place?”

Wang Zhimin said somewhat helplessly, “Yes.”

“I’m sorry. I had an urgent matter, and I forgot to inform you.” Xiao Lingyu immediately apologized, “Please wait a moment. I’ll be back soon.”

...

After returning to the hotel, Li Yuanhang and Gong Tianhao returned to their own rooms.

However, Li Yuanhang kept staring at Gong Tianhao with a strange expression.

Gong Tianhao said impatiently, “Alright, just say what’s your mind. You’ve been staring strangely at me all the way back. Do you love me or something?”

Li Yuanhang almost choked on his saliva. He took a few breaths and said loudly, “Tianhao, I am not gay!”

Gong Tianhao rolled his eyes.

Li Yuanhang patted his chest. Then, he looked at Gong Tianhao suspiciously and asked, “Tianhao, do you really not know Xiao Lingyu?”

Gong Tianhao frowned and said, “No!” He was just a little confused.

“But didn’t you notice that you treat Xiao Lingyu differently?” Li Yuanhang pointed out. “You never meddle in other people’s business, but you have meddled in her business many times already! This is not normal.” Of course, Li Yuanhang phrased this in a teasing manner.

Gong Tianhao’s deep and dark eyes narrowed, but he remained silent.

Li Yuanhang was shocked when he saw Gong Tianhao’s expression. He widened his eyes in disbelief and asked, “Tianhao, don’t tell me that you have really fallen in love with Xiao Lingyu at first sight?” Then, Li Yuanhang shook his head. “Tianhao, this can’t be. Xiao Lingyu is just a simple countrywoman. How can she attract Young Master Gong and Young Master Jiang at the same time? I don’t see how she is that charming.”

Gong Tianhao glanced at him and said unhappily, “How come I didn’t realize my secretary is so dumb? What you say is impossible. Plus, Tao Zi likes her. I will not fight my brother for a woman. Besides, I don’t even like her.”

In the future, Gong Tianhao would eat his words. He dug such a big hole for his good brother that Jiang Tao couldn’t climb out of it.

Li Yuanhang didn’t believe Gong Tianhao, but he didn’t say anything. Relationships couldn’t be forced.

After the old master was well-rested, they continued their drive to Taoyuan Village.

It took about half an hour to drive from Xing Yin County to Xing An Town. The road from Xing An Town to Taoyuan Village had been repaired. The previously bumpy road would have taken more than an hour to traverse, but now it only took less than half an hour.

Old Master Gong got tired as they reached Xing An Town. But when they got close to Taoyuan Village, and he saw the peach trees, he was energized. “No wonder this place is called Taoyuan Village. There are peach trees everywhere.”

“It’s a pity because, in the past, most of the peaches would be left rotting on the ground due to bad roads.” Li Yuanhang lamented.

“But this road is new.” Old Master Gong looked out. “Hao ‘Er, did you have someone fix this?”

“Yes, Grandpa!” Gong Tianhao nodded. “The roads were too awful before.”

Since Old Master Gong would stay at Taoyuan Village, even if they didn’t come often, having a good road was more convenient. Plus, they needed to transport things over. Fixing the road didn’t cost much. It was convenient for Old Master Gong and would help the people of Taoyuan Village.

“This place has beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery is pleasant. It’s indeed a good place!” Old Master Gong was very satisfied. “Hao ‘Er, Yuanhang, you guys are really thoughtful.”

Taoyuan Village was a remote mountain village in China, thousands of miles away from the capital. Gong Tianhao and Li Yuanhang must have done plenty of research to find this place.

Li Yuanhang said with a smile, “Grandfather, this is all thanks to my subordinates. We have people who like to travel. They will visit places around the country. One group likes to visit mountain villages. They like nature. And they told me about this place.”

Old Master Gong nodded. “Yes, these mountain villages are the most primitive tourist attractions.”

“I asked in the company chatgroup for good, quiet spots with scenery, and they recommended me a few places. We investigated most of them and determined this village is the best!” Li Yuanhang explained.

In reality, there were many reasons why they picked Taoyuan Village.

First, Taoyuan Village did have good natural scenes.

Second, Young Master Jiang was here. He could look after Old Master Gong. When Gong Tianhao wasn’t around, Jiang Tao could deal with everything.

Third, there was a very good cook, Auntie Chen, living in Taoyuan Village.

As Old Master Gong got older, he became a pickier eater. Gong Tianhao inherited this bad habit from his grandfather. However, Gong Tianhao finished the dishes cooked by Auntie Chen. In that case, it was highly likely that Old Master Gong would like her cooking too.

Old Master Gong repeated, “You two kids are really thoughtful!”

Perhaps it was the good scenery or the good air or the good food ahead, Old Master Gong was in a good mood.

When they arrived at Taoyuan Village, it was already five or six o’clock in the afternoon.

It was April, and it was still early. The sky was bright. They took Old Master Gong to his new house.

Old Master Gong liked the place very much.

It was just an ordinary green brick and glazed tile house. The house wasn’t big. There were three side rooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a woodshed. Then, there was this big courtyard. There were a few big parasol trees and a few apricot trees.

There was also a pavilion in the courtyard to rest and relax. There were also some precious flowers and plants in the surroundings. There was a small pond with a few goldfish. The courtyard mirrored a panorama from the imperial garden.

Old Master Gong was very satisfied. “Thank you for this.”

Gong Tianhao said, “Grandpa, as long as you like it, it’s worth it.” Then, he paused for a moment and said in a very serious and pleading tone, “Grandpa, from now on, you can rest in peace and recuperate. Don’t trouble yourself with anything else, okay?”

Old Master Gong sighed lightly and made his stance clear, “Hao ‘Er, I will keep to my promise. I’ve handed everything over to you, so I won’t bother with things back home anymore. I’ll stay here to cooperate. I’ll live to a hundred years old and see your grandchild run around.”

“Haha, okay, Grandpa!” Gong Tianhao’s lips curled into a smile.

Their arrivals naturally attracted the villagers’ attention and curiosity.

They knew that two young men built a house in the village for their grandfather to live in. When the house was built, many people came to take a look. They all sighed, “The house is really beautiful, and the courtyard is huge. One look, and you can tell that they are rich.” But at the same time, they also said in puzzlement, “The rich are strange. It’s nice living in the big city. Why would they move to this poor village?”

As locals, they knew the inconvenience of living in the poor countryside. Of course, some villagers suspected that the young men were going to abandon the old man here so he wouldn’t interrupt them in the capital. It was how the Tv dramas portray such things.

However, when the black cars drove into the village and stopped at the big house, they saw the young men help the old man with respect. It was clear that they cared about the old master.

Many people stood at the door and took a look inside. They were still a little stunned. The courtyard was too captivating.

After Gong Tianhao showed the old man around the new house, he asked, “Grandpa, do you need to make any changes?”

The old man waved his hand and said, “No need. Everything is fine. Grandfather is very satisfied.”

“It’s time to eat! It’s time to eat!”

At this moment, a child’s voice sounded.
