The Slacker Stepmother and the Non-Domineering CEO

Chapter 170

"What are you doing?! Can we not play around like this right now? What if I accidentally hurt you? Don\'t blame me if something happens!"

Gu Junxing couldn\'t help but laugh - she was treating him like he was made of paper.

"I need to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow morning."

Gu Junxing had already stood up and asked, "Where are you planning to go?"

Nian Suian suddenly realized she hadn\'t told Gu Junxing about this yet. Although she hadn\'t initially planned to consult him, given their recent relationship development, she felt she should at least let him know.

"I need to tell you something, but don\'t get the wrong idea."

Seeing she had something to say, Gu Junxing pulled her back down to sit. "I won\'t. Go ahead."

"I\'m planning to buy an apartment in Jiang Yun\'s residential complex. I asked her to help me look around, and today she told me there\'s a suitable place for sale. I\'m going to check it out tomorrow."

Gu Junxing heard this but didn\'t show much reaction, as if she was talking about buying groceries rather than property.

He told her, "That area isn\'t very good. It won\'t be redeveloped anytime soon, so it\'s not valuable as an investment."

He knew roughly where the area was because Gu Zhijing had mentioned it after visiting there before.

"Well... what if I said I want to live there?"

"You want to live separately?" He had thought about separation before, but that was before they started dating.

Nian Suian smiled sheepishly, "Are you angry?"

"No, I\'m not. I guess you\'ve been thinking about buying a place for a while?"

After thinking for a moment, Gu Junxing added, "If you like that area, I actually have an apartment in a nearby complex. If you don\'t want to live here anymore, we could move there together. Though it\'s smaller than this place."

Nian Suian immediately sat up straight upon hearing this. "What\'s that place like? I want to see it. But I\'m still interested in buying in Jiang Yun\'s complex because it has a different feel to it. You\'ll understand when you come see it with me someday."

"If you want to buy it, go ahead. We can renovate it nicely, and then we can stay there a couple of days each week," Gu Junxing leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "Just the two of us, without Gu Zhijing."

His warm breath on her ear made her shrink away slightly, and when she spoke again, her voice carried a hint of coyness.

"If Zhijing finds out, he\'ll say you\'re being disrespectful as a father again. What do you mean \'just the two of us\'? What are you planning?"

"What do you think I\'m planning? Hmm?"

"I don\'t know anything! You should go now, I need to sleep." Nian Suian kicked his leg lightly.

Gu Junxing stood up and cleared his throat - he really couldn\'t stay any longer...

"Tomorrow, go take a look, and if you like it, buy it. I\'ll have someone help you with the renovation plans. Whenever you want to see the other apartment, just tell Butler Su, and he\'ll take you there."

"Okay, I got it. You can go now."

As Gu Junxing walked away, he thought about how nice it would be when he wouldn\'t have to leave anymore.

"Suian, see me out?"

"It\'s just a few steps away, you\'re really something!" Despite her complaints, she still got up.

"Good night." Before leaving, Gu Junxing bent down and kissed the corner of her mouth.

The next day, when Nian Suian came downstairs, Gu Junxing had already left for the office. As she was about to leave after breakfast, Butler Su stopped her and handed her a bank card.

"Madam, the master asked me to give this to you before he left this morning. He said you\'re going shopping today, so use this card. The PIN is your birthday."

Shopping today meant buying the house, but the way he put it made it sound like grocery shopping. Nian Suian could definitely sense Gu Junxing\'s dominant CEO vibes.

She hadn\'t planned to use Gu Junxing\'s money to buy the house, but she took the card without explanation. Butler Su was just following orders, and she could sort it out with Gu Junxing later.

When she arrived at Jiang Yun\'s complex, she immediately noticed a crowd gathered in the plaza.

Drama alert!

"Brother, please let me be with sister-in-law! She\'s already given you a child, isn\'t that enough? I met her first, after all!"

Wow!

Nian Suian had just reached the edge of the crowd when she heard this exclamation. What was going on? She\'d never seen anything like this even on certain streaming platforms!

She quickly took out her phone to message Jiang Yun about the new drama unfolding in the plaza, telling her to come quickly.

"Suian! Suian! I\'m over here!"

Looking up, she saw Jiang Yun waving at her from within the crowd.

Well, looks like she was already here!

Nian Suian walked over but felt awkward about pushing through the crowd.

"Come here, come here." While waving to her, Jiang Yun pointed her out to the people nearby, "This is my good friend, she doesn\'t live here and it\'s her first time seeing this kind of excitement. Could everyone make way for her?"

An auntie nearby actually moved aside and waved Nian Suian over, "You\'re from outside? Come in and watch!"

Others also moved aside cooperatively, making a path for Nian Suian, who could only walk through while repeatedly thanking everyone.

"No need to thank us, their family drama isn\'t anything new, we\'re all tired of watching it."

Aliali: 673582c5d72ede9349450a01Despite saying this, no one left - they all stayed to watch.

In the center of the crowd stood two men and a woman, with luggage scattered around them. They seemed unbothered by the spectators, giving Nian Suian the absurd feeling of watching a stage play.

At that moment, one man angrily said, "You dare call her sister-in-law?! What does it matter if you knew her first? I\'m the one who married her, how could you do something like this?"

The other man responded carelessly, "If you hadn\'t treated her badly, would she have thought of me? She told me you get violent when you\'re drunk - that\'s domestic violence, I\'m telling you!"

The brothers were Feng Ningjian and Feng Ningkang. Initially, Li Qiaoqiao had dated the younger brother, Feng Ningkang, but ended up marrying Feng Ningjian - everyone in the complex knew this story.

After their marriage, Feng Ningkang had gone to work in another city and hadn\'t returned home for years. Their family had lived quietly and even had a child, but unexpectedly, the younger brother had returned recently.

When he first came back, everyone in the complex suspected there would be trouble, and sure enough, there was.

They lived on the first floor, and lately, there had been drama three times a day. Everyone had put aside their daily activities just to watch their family drama, like it was a regularly scheduled TV show.

Today, apparently, Feng Ningkang was planning to take his sister-in-law away to live elsewhere, but Feng Ningjian had stopped them here, and the three of them had started arguing.

Someone in the crowd couldn\'t help but shout, "Qiaoqiao, just choose one of the brothers already!"
