Before they could figure out what the Gu family was up to, Gu Nuannuan called.

At first, Jiang Chenyu didn't know that the number belonged to Gu Nuannuan. It was only after the call was connected and he heard the cheerful "Uncle" that his temples began to throb. "Gu Nuannuan!"

"Hey, Uncle, your dad wants you to come home. He has something to tell you," she said.

Since the cat was already out of the bag, it would be hypocritical to take it back now. Besides, Jiang Chenyu had a sharp tongue, and when dealing with someone who had one too, he had to be equally sharp. So, she affectionately called Jiang Chenyu "Uncle."

From the tone of the other person, it seemed that she didn't like this nickname very much.

Jiang Chenyu clenched his phone, suppressing his anger. "Gu Nuannuan, say that again."

Then, through her voice, Gu Nuannuan could express her joy. She kept calling out, "Uncle, Uncle, Uncle. I've said it three times, what are you going to do? If you have the guts, come back."

Jiang Chenyu's Adam's apple rolled as he squinted. Well, this woman was indeed scheming. She wanted to provoke him and then make him come home.

But he wouldn't go back.

Jiang Chenyu forced himself to remain calm. He put down his phone and hung up directly.

Not long after, Gu Nuannuan called again. "Uncle, are you angry? What are you angry about? I didn't get mad when you said my legs were short, but you get mad when I call you Uncle? Men are so petty. I call you Uncle, and you don't lose anything, after all, at your age, you should be like my dad when you go out. Do you want me to call you Big Nephew? Well then, I'll reluctantly call you Big Nephew... Hey, hey, Jiang Chenyu, hey?"

The phone was hung up again.

Gu Nuannuan moved her phone away from her ear, looking at the black screen with disdain. She muttered to herself, "Seriously, this is the king of the business world? He's so petty. What's wrong with calling him Uncle? Doesn't he know he's getting older? I'll continue calling, I'll make you mad."

Gu Nuannuan's relentless calls rang again, but Jiang Chenyu hung up directly.

Gu Nuannuan called again, but this time there was no answer.

"Damn, he blocked me," she muttered.

She returned to the old mansion of the Jiang family and picked up the landline, dialing Jiang Chenyu's number on her mobile phone.

At this moment, Jiang Chenyu had just arrived at the meeting room.

Seeing the phone at home, he picked it up and pasted it to his ear. On the other end was the familiar voice that made him want to punch someone. "Hey, Big Nephew, your dad wants you to come back for a talk. If you don't come back... Beep, beep, beep."

After a while, another call came back.

"Gu Nuannuan, are you looking for trouble?"

"Jiang Chenyu, how can you talk to your wife like that?!" Jiang Lao shouted angrily. He had just come downstairs and saw his new daughter-in-law sitting alone in the living room making a phone call.

He approached her and learned that Gu Nuannuan was calling Jiang Chenyu because of him. She said, "Dad, I heard you have something to talk to Chenyu about, but he left, so I wanted to make him come back."

Listen, what a good daughter-in-law.

Jiang Lao touched Gu Nuannuan's sincere face and her innocent eyes, and he found himself liking her a little more. Moreover, the child did this for him, as he did have something to say to Jiang Chenyu.

So, Jiang Lao took the initiative to call Jiang Chenyu. He didn't expect to hear his son's furious cursing as soon as the call connected.

His anger surged up. "Jiang Chenyu, you roll back here and apologize to Nuannuan."

Gu Nuannuan was startled by Jiang Lao's loud voice, and she couldn't help but wonder what Jiang Chenyu had said to make Jiang Lao so angry.

Not knowing what Jiang Chenyu said on the other end, Jiang Lao's face turned grim as he said, "Jiang Chenyu, the old saying goes, 'the older, the wiser.' You have half an hour to appear in front of me."

With that, Jiang Lao angrily hung up the phone.

He pointed to the dumbfounded daughter-in-law standing beside him. "Nuannuan, you wait. I'll make Chenyu come back and apologize to you."

Gu Nuannuan shook her head. "No, Dad, it's not necessary." After all, she had been the one to provoke him first~

Sure enough, Jiang Chenyu returned soon after.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw his newly wedded daughter-in-law standing behind Jiang Lao.

In Jiang Chenyu's eyes, this woman was deliberately acting pitiful in front of his father.

Seeing him appear and the way he stared at her, Gu Nuannuan's heart raced.

What if he came forward to explain why she called him "Big Nephew"?

Gu Nuannuan's eyes lit up with a sudden inspiration. She immediately put on a smile and stepped forward. "Honey, you're back."

Jiang Chenyu looked at Gu Nuannuan, who changed her expression faster than flipping a book. Just now she was calling him "Uncle" and then "Big Nephew," and now she had become "Honey."

"Get lost."

"Honey, I was wrong." Gu Nuannuan apologized with a good attitude.

With her humble attitude in the beginning, no matter what Jiang Chenyu said later, she could just stubbornly refuse to admit it.

But Jiang Lao exploded, "Jiang Chenyu, did your father teach you to bully your wife like this?"

Jiang Chenyu didn't say a word. He had just entered the room and was yelled at by his father.

He was a man, and he didn't bother to complain. He just shook off Gu Nuannuan with disgust and sat alone on the sofa. "Speak if you have something to say."

"Apologize to Nuannuan."

Jiang Chenyu's deep gaze locked onto Gu Nuannuan, who felt guilty under his gaze. At the same time, she was puzzled: What did I do wrong? Why should he apologize to me?

After all, she had provoked Jiang Chenyu with her sharp tongue first, and Gu Nuannuan didn't dare to stay any longer. So she quickly wrapped up the topic, "Husband and wife are one, my husband doesn't need to apologize to me. Dad, don't be angry. Since he's back, you can talk to him. I'll go back to the bedroom first."

Without waiting for anyone to speak, she bounded back to the bedroom like a rabbit.

Once back, she leaned against the door and felt relieved. Fortunately, she ran fast.

At noon, Gu Nuannuan spent half an hour thinking. In this family, she couldn't offend Jiang Lao. Strictly speaking, Jiang Lao was her backer. Her impulsive and childish behavior last night had already offended Jiang Lao. If Jiang Lao found out today that she had called Jiang Chenyu "Big Nephew," it would be over. She would have completely angered Jiang Lao.

Besides not being able to provoke Jiang Lao, she also couldn't really anger Jiang Chenyu. Teasing him a bit was fine, but if she really angered him, her days would be filled with trouble.

Though she had figured it out, reality was reality. Her fiery temper might not hold up...

Suddenly, someone pushed the door with such force that she stumbled back. Gu Nuannuan stumbled forward twice before quickly regaining her balance and turning to see the man who had appeared.

"Hey~" Gu Nuannuan raised her hand to greet Jiang Chenyu with a smile. She faced him with a smile. "Uncle?"

Jiang Chenyu had never encountered such a person before, one who changed faces so quickly and lied without blinking.

The girl in front of him made him angry, so Jiang Chenyu reached out and pinched Gu Nuannuan's neck from behind.

"Ah, you're attacking me."

Gu Nuannuan's neck was pressed down, and her head was forced down, unable to lift it.

"Jiang Chenyu, let go," Gu Nuannuan said.

Jiang Chenyu approached her, and Gu Nuannuan's head was just at his abdomen.

Gu Nuannuan couldn't lift her head, but she didn't back down. She raised her hands and pinched Jiang Chenyu's wrist. "Let go of me."

"What exactly did you say to my father?"

"I haven't asked you yet. What did your father say to you that made him ask you to apologize to me?" Gu Nuannuan couldn't lift her head, and she was exerting quite a bit of force, tightly pinching Jiang Chenyu's wrist.

Neither of them felt comfortable.

Unable to provide evidence against each other, Gu Nuannuan spoke first. "Here's the deal: you agree to my two requests from this morning, and I won't call you 'Uncle' or 'Big Nephew' anymore. We'll each mind our own business. You go your way, and I'll go mine. Deal?"

Jiang Chenyu: "..."

To show her sincerity, she released her grip first. "I won't pinch you anymore. When you let go, I'll take it as you agreeing."

Jiang Chenyu squinted at the girl who was being bullied by him, sneering coldly. "Your mind is quite sharp."

She had made him agree indirectly.

She knew she couldn't keep pinching him like this all day. Once he let go, it would mean he agreed to her proposal.

Jiang Chenyu didn't expect to be outmaneuvered by a twenty-year-old girl.

He shook his hand and let go of Gu Nuannuan.

This also meant he agreed to Gu Nuannuan's terms.

Gu Nuannuan finally achieved her goal. She straightened up, adjusted her neck a bit, and glanced at his wrist. The nail marks there looked pretty bad.

With one hand behind her back, she advised him kindly, "Your wrist should scab over by tomorrow. Why not wear a watch on the other wrist to cover up the marks?"

The day of their return visit arrived quietly.

Early in the morning, Gu Nuannuan got up from the sofa, having prepared everything and waiting for Jiang Chenyu to appear.

As soon as she saw him, Gu Nuannuan couldn't help but remind him, "Remember, you promised me, okay?"

Jiang Chenyu ignored her and simply placed all the gifts prepared for Gu Site in the trunk of the car.

The Gu family lived in the Royal Garden Manor in the urban area of Z City.

It wasn't close to the Jiang family, and it would take over an hour to drive there.

On the way there, Gu Nuannuan tried her best to show herself in a good light, hoping Jiang Chenyu would be a little more accommodating and not let her down later.

Jiang Chenyu glanced sideways at the girl next to him. She was quiet now and actually looked human, quite tolerable.

"Jiang Chenyu, why are you giving me a sideways glance?" Gu Nuannuan asked.

Jiang Chenyu replied, "It's nauseating."

Gu Nuannuan forced a smile: I can endure it!

After an hour's drive, Gu Site had already entered the Royal Garden Manor.

They drove along the main road and soon saw the Gu family waiting to greet them at the entrance.

Gu Nuannuan suddenly felt nervous.

She looked at the man beside her and wondered, would he behave differently in front of others?

When the car stopped, Jiang Chenyu unbuckled his seatbelt and prepared to get out to take things from the trunk.

Gu Nuannuan was quick. She originally meant to grab Jiang Chenyu's clothes, but accidentally grabbed his hand. "Jiang Chenyu, you must remember our three-point agreement."

Ignoring the sudden addition of a chilly little hand in his palm, Jiang Chenyu turned his head and touched her lively eyes. He squinted and asked back, "Am I really that untrustworthy?"

Thinking that he was nearly thirty and being doubted for the first time in his life, although he didn't like her at home, he wouldn't give her a hard time in front of others. Moreover, since there was an agreement, he would naturally abide by it.

Gu Nuannuan bit her lip and made an excuse, "I-I'm just... afraid you'll forget."

Jiang Chenyu couldn't be bothered to expose her. He finally noticed the extra little paw in his palm. Gu Nuannuan's hands were like flesh, soft and cold.

Gu Nuannuan also realized that her hand was in his palm at this time. She wanted to retract it, and Jiang Chenyu subconsciously tightened his grip before letting go.

The person whose hand he had held tightly could clearly feel his anomaly.

With a sense of doubt, she got out of the car.
