Scheming White lotus (24): The atmosphere was so good and he was dressed so beautifully, but Gu Juntian actually wanted to fight with him?

Although many people were skeptical, everyone knew that under the circumstances where the official had already issued an announcement, the fact that Gu Juntian cultivated hexagonal diamonds should be true.

So, Gu Juntian was not just a business prodigy, but also a research prodigy?

There were more and more discussions about Gu Juntian online, and the Gu Group’s reputation was also rising.

Nowadays, the most famous jewelry company in the country was undoubtedly Gu.

And the most famous jewelry designer in the country was Zhou Qinghao.

Ordinary people were completely unfamiliar with and did not understand the jewelry design industry, but now, thanks to the power of the internet, they knew Zhou Qinghao and even knew that Zhou Qinghao was a jewelry designer.

Zhou Qinghao’s current fame was unmatched by any other jewelry designer.

By the end of the day, Zhou Qinghao received many phone calls and messages—his former teachers, classmates, and friends all contacted him to congratulate him.

Zhou Qinghao was in a pretty good mood, not because of the sudden enthusiasm from these people, but because of Gu Juntian’s regard for him.

During this time, the slight unease he felt because of Gu Juntian’s increasing excellence instantly vanished.

Next, he needed to keep working hard, draw well, and not let Gu Juntian down.

The internet was buzzing, but Gu Juntian’s life was still the same as before.

He woke up at six every morning, and after washing up, he exercised with Zhou Qinghao. After a quick rinse post-exercise, he had breakfast with his family.

After breakfast, around eight o’clock, he would go to the Gu Group diamond cultivation base for research under the protection of professionals, while also handling company affairs.

He had already completed the reforms for the Gu Group, and since the Gu Group was now developing well, he didn’t need to do more.

He just needed to keep an eye on the overall direction of the Gu Group.

Compared to managing the jewelry company, he preferred doing research. As long as the company didn’t have any problems, that was enough.

Recently, he had been studying alloys and various machines, but he was actually also very interested in AI.

In the future, he could study each of these topics one by one and conveniently monetize the research results.

His career would definitely develop better and better!

At five in the afternoon, Gu Juntian clocked out on time.

The people working with Gu Juntian on the research: “…”

This research base of the Gu Group had already undergone a major transformation and was now being tightly protected by officials assigned to it.

There was a lot of valuable research data here, and the researchers here were top talents from all over the country.

Since those researchers came here, they had been working tirelessly on their research, wishing they could stretch a day into two, and eating nutrient supplements for every meal.

Gu Juntian, on the other hand, worked from nine to five every day, and had a hearty nutrient meal at noon, making him stand out from them.

“Mr. Gu, our experiment is about to succeed. Aren’t you going to wait a bit?” someone asked.

“No, I need to go home for dinner,” Gu Juntian replied.

Was going home for dinner that important? They had already decided to stay at the Gu Group’s diamond cultivation base for the next few months!

At this moment, Gu Juntian added with a smile, “My boyfriend is waiting for me at home.”

Today was the day Zhou Qinghao did strength training, he had to go back, he still had something to tell Zhou Qinghao.

The researcher who spoke to Gu Juntian: Alright, Gu, you have a boyfriend, you’re amazing!

When Gu Juntian got home, he saw some medical staff coming out of their house.

These medical staff were arranged by the state.

Gu Juntian’s research results were extremely valuable. After he shared his findings with the officials, they were prepared to give him a large sum of money.

However, Gu Juntian didn’t want any money; he only asked the officials to upgrade his laboratory.

Upgrading the laboratory cost a lot, but the officials didn’t lose out at all.

After their personnel upgraded the laboratory under Gu Juntian’s guidance, they immediately applied those techniques to other laboratories, and even to military applications…

Gu Juntian’s value was too great; in comparison, they were contributing a bit less… They could only work hard to help Gu Juntian with various chores and take care of the people around him.

For example, for the old man’s illness, the country arranged for the top domestic doctors to help with the treatment.

The old man’s condition was much better now than before, thanks to receiving the best treatment and because Gu Juntian was so outstanding that the old man was in a great mood.

Now, no matter who he saw, he wanted to talk about his grandson, and he was becoming more and more clear-headed.

Gu Juntian greeted the medical staff, and after entering the house, he saw old man Gu talking to his father: “Did you see? I’ve raised Juntian exceptionally well! Of course, you’re not bad either. The photos you took are quite nice, but they can’t compare to Juntian…”

Father Gu felt a bit sour.

He had always been the favorite here with the old man, but now, he was overshadowed by his own son.

However, his son was indeed exceptional.

“Juntian is back! Come and have dinner.” The old man smiled and called out to Gu Juntian, then had the dishes he loved brought out.

“I knew it, Grandpa loves me the most.” Gu Juntian greeted the old man and then sat down next to Zhou Qinghao.

He sat up straight, already prepared for Zhou Qinghao to talk to his family while reaching out to touch his hand.

However, after waiting for a long time, Zhou Qinghao didn’t make a move.

The food had already been served, and Gu Juntian could only eat with disappointment.

After finishing the meal, Gu Juntian said to Zhou Qinghao, “Qinghao, come to the study with me. I have something to discuss with you.”

Although Zhou Qinghao wasn’t very enthusiastic today, he still had good news to share with Zhou Qinghao.

Gu Juntian took Zhou Qinghao upstairs, and when Gu’s father, Gu’s mother, and old man Gu saw this scene, they exchanged knowing smiles.

The young couple was going to be alone together again!

After bringing Zhou Qinghao into the study, Gu Juntian handed a document to Zhou Qinghao: “Qinghao, your second uncle’s case of embezzling the assets your parents left for you will go to trial soon.”

This case was previously being followed up by people he arranged, but not long ago, the state intervened.

If nothing unexpected happened, Zhou Qinghao’s second uncle would be severely sentenced for crimes such as embezzling others’ property, child abuse, intentional injury, and theft.

All the illegal activities his second uncle committed in his lifetime had now been uncovered.

Zhou Qinghao was taken aback when he heard this.

He knew that Gu Juntian was very busy.

He didn’t expect that Gu Juntian, despite being so busy, still remembered to stand up for him.

Gu Juntian was too good to him!

Zhou Qinghao was very excited: “Juntian, thank you.”

“No need to thank me,” Gu Juntian said, starting to get tangled up again.

Zhou Qinghao should be very touched, right? Then why didn’t he come over to hug and kiss him?

Gu Juntian wanted to say something but didn’t know how to start, so he could only stare at Zhou Qinghao.

At this moment, Zhou Qinghao had already started looking at the documents in his hands.

He was very young when his parents passed away, so he didn’t understand many things.

Now, seeing the documents, he realized that his parents had left him so much money.

He could have lived very well…

Zhou Qinghao’s eyes were a bit red.

Gu Juntian no longer waited for Zhou Qinghao to come into his arms; he stepped forward and hugged Zhou Qinghao, saying, “Don’t cry, I’ll be by your side from now on.”

Zhou Qinghao smiled and said, “Yes, you’ll be by my side from now on.”

Burying his head in Gu Juntian’s arms and holding him tightly for a long time, some less-than-harmonious thoughts inevitably popped up in Zhou Qinghao’s mind.

“Brother Juntian, how about I repay your great kindness and virtue by offering myself to you?” Zhou Qinghao said, kissing Gu Juntian’s chin.

Gu Juntian immediately felt at ease. He lightly coughed and said, “Stop joking, it’s time for strength training.”

“You can train on the bed too. How about I practice squats on you?” Zhou Qinghao suggested.

Gu Juntian didn’t say anything more and pulled him towards the gym.

He wasn’t used to Zhou Qinghao being serious, but when Zhou Qinghao acted like this, he found it a bit hard to handle.

Zhou Qinghao was being pulled forward by Gu Juntian, and he chuckled to himself.

Gu Juntian like this, how did it look like he was fleeing in a panic?

“Brother, slow down, I can’t keep up…”

“Seriously.” Gu Juntian sighed, turned around, and picked up Zhou Qinghao to leave.

Now it was Zhou Qing Hao’s turn to be dumbfounded.

To get to the gym, they had to pass through the living room, and Gu’s parents were still there!

He just couldn’t bring himself to get off Gu Juntian!

Zhou Qinghao didn’t dare to say a word, burying his head in Gu Juntian’s neck, and couldn’t help but kiss the neck in front of him.

Gu Juntian felt a tickle on his neck, completely satisfied.

That day, after finishing strength training, Gu Juntian gave Zhou Qinghao another hexagonal diamond.

During this period, Gu Juntian had gradually cultivated many hexagonal diamonds.

Among them, those that were of suitable size and good quality were all given to Zhou Qinghao. The remaining ones that were too small or of poor quality were given to the researchers for study.

Cultivating hexagonal diamonds was quite troublesome and requiredsomeone to keep an eye on them.

He was impatient with this task; except for the first one, all the subsequent hexagonal diamonds were cultivated by others. Gu Juntian felt embarrassed to take them all.

Most importantly, those that were too small were of no use to Zhou Qinghao.

Unknowingly, the hexagonal diamonds that caused a sensation and attracted countless curious onlookers had ended up in a small jar with Zhou Qinghao.

Lying in bed, holding the jar filled with hexagonal diamonds close to his chest, Zhou Qinghao closed his eyes, ready to sleep.

His dream tonight would definitely be sweet again.

As for tomorrow…

He had drawn up a design, creating a pair of men’s rings, and planned to find time tomorrow to make them himself.

If Gu Juntian was slow to propose, then he would do it!

He couldn’t be kept from eating meat forever.

Next door, Gu Juntian was also getting ready for bed.

Before sleeping, he browsed the internet.

Online, there were still many people talking about Hexagon Diamonds, and some were discussing Zhou Qinghao.

“Gu Juntian is so lucky to have such a handsome boyfriend!”

“How come Zhou Qinghao isn’t my wife?”

“Wife Qinghao is really cool!”

……

Looking at these comments, Gu Juntian’s expression became serious.

More and more people were coveting Zhou Qinghao.

The first time he saw Zhou Qinghao, he thought Zhou Qinghao should be radiant and dazzling, admired by everyone.

Now, Zhou Qinghao was indeed very dazzling, but the situation was a bit off.

Why were these people calling Zhou Qinghao “wife”? Zhou Qinghao clearly belonged to him!

He and Zhou Qinghao had been cultivating their relationship for some time now and could prepare for marriage.

He should get ready to propose, as for how to propose…

Gu Juntian planned to wait until he cultivated enough hexagonal diamonds to make the set of ancient-style jewelry designed by Zhou Qinghao, and then propose.

The set of ancient-style jewelry designed by Zhou Qinghao included a necklace, bracelet, ring, hairpin, and a beautiful hair crown. Each piece was designed simply and could be worn by both men and women.

The first time Gu Juntian saw the design, he thought the jewelry would suit Zhou Qinghao perfectly. If Zhou Qinghao wore this set of jewelry, how elegant would he look?

This piece of jewelry, made with hexagonal diamonds, will not be sold; it was exclusively for Zhou Qinghao.

Its greatest purpose was to promote Zhou Qinghao’s fame.

At that time, the Gu Group will hold a press conference to showcase this set of jewelry to the world.

The brand Holy Emperor and Zhou Qinghao will be known worldwide along with this set of jewelry.

He could also propose to Zhou Qinghao at that press conference, and then they could naturally get married.

Afterwards, he could  still take a break for a while and go on a honeymoon with Zhou Qinghao.

The current problem was that the crown needed to be set with large gemstones, but the existing hexagonal diamonds were too small.

He needed to keep working hard.

Gu Juntian devoted himself wholeheartedly to research and development. To focus on R&D, he handed over some of the company’s tasks to Zhou Qinghao.

“You don’t need to do anything, just listen to their reports and help me sign a few documents,” Gu Juntian told Zhou Qinghao.

But when Zhou Qinghao arrived at the conference room with his drawing board, planning to draw design sketches while acting as a mascot, he realized he had been tricked by Gu Juntian.

This meeting was obviously very important!

It concerned the handling of the Cheng family, and there were many decisions that Gu Juntian needed to make.

Now that they couldn’t reach Gu Juntian, everyone was waiting for him to make a decision.

Zhou Qinghao could only make the decision with a blank expression.

Well, now that one thing had happened, more would follow. Similar situations were becoming more and more frequent, and Gu Juntian always pushed the tasks onto him.

He had to start learning to handle company affairs.

He needed to work out, draw design plans, and now he also had to learn to manage the company… Zhou Qinghao was so busy that he couldn’t even find time to make rings for himself and Gu Juntian.

When he finally found the time to make the ring, Gu Juntian told him that they had already cultivated a sufficiently large octagonal diamond that could be set into the ancient-style hairpin of that jewelry set.

“Qinghao, in half a month, Gu’s will hold a press conference to showcase that set of jewelry to the world. After the press conference, the names of the Holy Emperor and you will definitely resonate around the globe!” Gu Juntian looked at Zhou Qinghao with great satisfaction.

Using such a precious diamond to make jewelry, his name would definitely be remembered by many people.

Originally planning to propose, Zhou Qinghao decided to wait until after the press conference to do so.

This press conference was too important, and during this time, he and Gu Juntian had a lot of things to do. He didn’t have time to prepare a romantic proposal.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Gu Group press conference.

The Gu Group’s press conference was held in the morning, inviting some people to attend in person and live-streaming the event.

Early in the morning, Gu Juntian brought Zhou Qinghao to the venue of the press conference.

The researchers who had been working with Gu Juntian recently also came here.

This piece of jewelry embodied their hard work.

Today, Gu’s Jewelry was showcasing hexagonal diamonds to the world, and it was also their country’s way of presenting their scientific achievements to the world. They were definitely watching.

They also wanted to see Zhou Qinghao.

This was the person who single-handedly monopolized most of the hexagonal diamonds!

Now, they had seen Zhou Qinghao.

Hmm, very good-looking, no wonder Gu Juntian had been thinking about him.

The press conference would start at nine, but by eight, the venue was already packed with people.

As the time approached, the eyes of the entire world were focused here.

The management of the venue was very strict; anyone with identity issues was not allowed inside.

Normally, a press conference for a jewelry company would be attended by people from the jewelry industry and the media, but Gu’s press conference was different.

Those attending this press conference were all people from the scientific research field. Besides their own country’s researchers, there were also researchers from other countries.

These people who rushed here from abroad were currently chasing after their country’s researchers, asking questions.

“Did you really cultivate hexagonal diamonds? This is just incredible!”

“How did you manage to cultivate them? Can you tell us about it?”

“My friend, I’m really curious. Can you share some information with me? Of course, if there’s something you can’t disclose, that’s fine.”

“I heard that Mr. Gu researched the hexagonal diamond? Can I consult him?”

………

“The press conference is starting,” Old Zhou reminded everyone.

The researchers immediately stopped talking, took their seats, and waited to see the hexagonal diamond.

At the same time, countless people opened the live stream to watch the Gu Group press conference.

“It’s the weekend today, I was supposed to sleep until ten, but to watch this press conference, I got up early at nine. It wasn’t easy.”

“I heard that the precious hexagonal diamond is set in the jewelry designed by Zhou Qinghao. Will Zhou Qinghao show up later? I’m here to see Zhou Qinghao.”

“I’m here to see Zhou Qinghao too. I’ve only seen his photos before, but now I want to watch the live stream and fully appreciate his stunning beauty.”

“Zhou Qinghao’s looks are really good enough for him to debut right away. I heard his family isn’t well-off, and I don’t know why he didn’t choose to debut but instead became a jewelry designer.”

“I’m different from you all. I’m here to see Gu Juntian. I want to know who took my Qinghao wife away!”

“I’m also curious about Gu Juntian’s looks! I’ve searched online for a long time and still haven’t found any photos.”

People were chatting in the comments section about Zhou Qinghao and Gu Juntian, when someone said, “I envy you guys who can watch men without any worries. Our teacher made us come to the press conference, and after watching, we have to write a review. I feel like crying.”

“Our professor also made us come, saying this is a groundbreaking press conference.”

“The most famous professor from our school came to this press conference, and our class advisor has been sending out the live stream link, urging everyone to watch.”

……

The press conference was starting now.

Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao walked onto the stage together, holding the set of jewelry made from hexagonal diamonds, while the lights in the venue dimmed.

In the dim light, the jewelry in Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao’s hands emitted a dazzling brilliance.

Was this what hexagonal diamonds were like?

The entire venue was silent, and those watching the live stream forgot to send comments.

From ancient times to the present, luminous pearls have always been considered extremely precious, and now, they had seen them!

They were so beautiful!

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on those jewels.

The enormous gem on the crown made people want to possess it from the bottom of their hearts.

One minute later, the lights came back on.

At the same time, a gasp echoed through the venue: “My God!”

“So much, so big?”

“Is this really a hexagonal diamond?”

……

As for the bullet comments, they were filled with “Beautiful,” “Night Pearl,” “Want it”…

Gu Juntian began introducing the hexagonal diamond: “Ladies and gentlemen, just a few months ago, our Gu Group artificially synthesized a hexagonal diamond. Its refractive index is between 2.41 and 2.42, and its density is…”

After briefly introducing the parameters of the hexagonal diamond, Gu Juntian said, “As you can see, this is a very beautiful diamond. The Holy Emperor used this gemstone to create a set of jewelry. Now, let my boyfriend, Zhou Qinghao, introduce the design concept.”

Zhou Qinghao took the microphone and began introducing the jewelry set he designed.

After being amazed by the jewelry, the live stream viewers were further astonished by Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao.

“So handsome ah ah ah ah!”

“Gu Juntian is actually this handsome?”

“Look, the CEO is blushing!”

“These two are a perfect match!”

“I’m dying from the cuteness ahhhhhh!”

“I want Qinghao as my wife, and Juntian as my husband!”

……

Ordinary people were very happy, but those who came for the hexagonal diamonds were a bit dumbfounded.

Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao didn’t explain how the hexagonal diamonds were made, nor did they detail their characteristics. Instead, they were seriously introducing the jewelry they were holding, which made the audience a bit unaccustomed.

Why weren’t these two talking more about the hexagonal diamonds?

Why weren’t these two bringing out some instruments to show the uniqueness of the hexagonal diamonds?

Wait, was this press conference being held by a jewelry company?

That was alright.

On stage, Zhou Qinghao was very nervous.

This was his first time attending such a grand and important event, and he was tense all over.

But with Gu Juntian by his side, he felt less scared.

After Zhou Qinghao introduced the design concept, Gu Juntian took the microphone again.

He introduced the brand Holy Emperor and then began to present various jewelry made with synthetic diamonds by Holy Emperor.

He even painted a grand picture for people, talking about the glorious future of Holy Emperor.

The researchers: “……” They didn’t want to hear this!

Finally, Gu Juntian said, “Today, besides introducing Holy Emperor and this set of jewelry made from hexagonal diamonds, I have something very important to do.”

Those who were looking forward to Gu Juntian giving a more detailed introduction about the hexagonal diamonds all perked up.

However, including Old Zhou, those researchers who had worked with Gu Juntian for a while knew that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, Gu Juntian suddenly looked at Zhou Qinghao standing next to him: “Zhou Qinghao, would you marry me?”

Zhou Qinghao felt a rush of blood to his head, as if he were in a fog.

Gu Juntian proposed to him?

In such an important occasion, Gu Juntian proposed to him?

At this moment, his mind was a blur, but he didn’t forget to answer: “I do!”

Gu Juntian smiled and took Zhou Qinghao’s hand, leading him away.

“So sweet!”

“Ahhh! It’s a proposal!”

“So romantic!”

“May you be together forever!”

“May you grow old together!”

……

The barrage suddenly exploded, and those who were watching the live stream of the hexagonal diamond, including some researchers who were watching the live stream late into the night due to time zone differences, had looks of disbelief on their faces.

The press conference had only been going on for less than half an hour; it couldn’t possibly end like this, could it?

This wasn’t what they wanted to see!

Fortunately, at this moment, Old Zhou took the stage.

What Old Zhou held in his hand was not jewelry inlaid with hexagonal diamonds, but real hexagonal diamonds.

However, the hexagonal diamond he was holding was a bit small, far smaller than those previously set in the jewelry, giving a somewhat shabby impression.

Earlier, Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao introduced the jewelry and the Holy Emperor in less than half an hour, and casually proposed marriage.

Next, he would spend two and a half hours introducing the hexagonal diamonds.

This was originally supposed to be Gu Juntian’s job, but Gu Juntian said he was getting married and would be on leave starting today, not wanting to stay on stage any longer.

Only he, this old bone, could handle it.

Old Zhou began to explain earnestly.

Those who wanted to understand the hexagonal diamond were finally satisfied upon seeing this situation. As for ordinary people, they had already lost interest by this time.

How to put it… they couldn’t understand.

Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao were still better; even though what they talked about also involved expertise, they could listen to it with great interest.

Many people left the live stream to ship CPs elsewhere.

Cheng Mingyan’s phone was still streaming live. He watched the sweet couple in the live stream and always felt it shouldn’t be like this.

His family went bankrupt.

Although his parents left some money, their family could still live a relatively decent life, but it was a far cry from before.

Especially since Chu Zhan not only broke up with him but also teamed up with Gu Juntian to deal with the Cheng family.

Cheng Mingyan was in great pain. He wanted to apologize to Gu Juntian and ask him to spare their family. Today, he went to the venue of the Gu Group’s press conference, hoping to get in.

But the security guards wouldn’t let him in, so he could only watch the live stream.

Previously, he looked down on Zhou Qinghao, but now their positions had reversed. In the future, Zhou Qinghao would be the wealthy one, and he would be the poor one…

It shouldn’t be like this…

Chu Zhan was also watching the live stream. Seeing Gu Juntian, who was full of vigor and confidence in the stream, he had to admit that he couldn’t compare to this person.

Gu Juntian was completely unaware of these people’s complex feelings.

Having successfully proposed, he brought Zhou Qinghao to the backstage and said, “Qinghao, since you accepted my proposal, let’s go get our marriage certificate tomorrow.”

Zhou Qinghao finally came to his senses: “Why did you suddenly propose to me?”

Gu Juntian’s proposal caught him off guard; he didn’t even know how he had reacted just now.

Was his expression a bit ugly? Was his outfit too plain?

He had refused some steps when the stylist was doing his makeup in the morning, and now he regretted it.

“It’s not sudden. We’ve been dating for a long time and have been living together for a few months. It’s time to get married,” Gu Juntian said.

If they didn’t get married soon, he wouldn’t be able to take it anymore; he was so excited that even a cold shower wouldn’t help.

He was doing this for Zhou Qinghao’s sake; Zhou Qinghao had always wanted to sleep in the same room with him, hadn’t he?

Zhou Qinghao asked again, “Is it really appropriate to propose in a place like this?”

“No, today is very suitable for this occasion,” Gu Juntian replied.

Only such an occasion was worthy of Zhou Qinghao.

Zhou Qinghao’s slight unease vanished without a trace after meeting Gu Juntian’s gaze.

This was fine for now; in the future, everyone would know that Gu Juntian was his.

Zhou Qinghao couldn’t contain his happiness, his eyes on Gu Juntian sparkling as if they could shoot out sparks.

“Let’s go home,” Gu Juntian suggested.

“Okay,” Zhou Qinghao replied, then asked Gu Juntian, “What about this jewelry?”

The jewelry made with hexagonal diamonds was still in his arms at this moment.

Gu Juntian said, “This set of jewelry belongs to you, just take it. You can put it in the safe I gave you before.”

Not long ago, Gu Juntian gave Zhou Qinghao a safe, which was said to be made of very valuable metal.

Zhou Qinghao didn’t know much about metals, but he really liked that safe, and now he could indeed put this set of jewelry inside.

However, he really didn’t expect that such precious jewelry would be directly given to him by Gu Juntian.

He thought this set of jewelry would become the treasure of the Holy Emperor’s store.

Looking at the set of jewelry, Zhou Qinghao’s heart stirred, and he suddenly had an idea.

His original plan was to propose to Gu Juntian while wearing traditional attire, and for that, he had specially bought a set of traditional clothes.

There was no need to waste that set of clothes. Once they got home, he could perhaps change into the traditional attire, put on the jewelry, and then give Gu Juntian a traditional-style proposal.

The more Zhou Qinghao thought about it, the better he felt about the idea.

The two of them quietly left the press conference and returned to the Gu Group under the escort of professional security personnel.

It was only noon, and the Gu Group was just preparing to have lunch.

“Dad, Mom, did you watch our live stream?” Gu Juntian asked.

Of course they watched it, Gu Father said with a smile, “Congratulations! When do you plan to hold the wedding?”

“The wedding doesn’t matter, we should get the marriage certificate first,” Gu Juntian replied.

Just as he finished speaking, he received a call from the authorities asking when he planned to get the marriage certificate.

Gu Juntian said, “I plan to get the marriage certificate tomorrow.”

“Picking up the certificate tomorrow? We’ll arrange for someone to come over and help you with this, so you don’t have to go in person,” the official said.

Gu Juntian was now very well-known and had attracted a lot of attention from various parties. It would be problematic if he went to the civil affairs bureau himself, so it was better for them to send someone to his place.

“Really?” Gu Juntian asked, “Can you come over today to help us with the marriage procedures?”

Of course, that was possible.

So, after Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao finished dinner, they went to their home and got their marriage certificate.

Zhou Qinghao had always hoped to marry Gu Juntian.

Now, he and Gu Juntian had gotten the certificate!

Zhou Qinghao looked at the marriage certificate again and again, and finally said, “I’m going to put it in the safe!”

Gu Juntian: “……” He didn’t even look closely at the marriage certificate!

However, if Zhou Qinghao wanted to keep it, then let him keep it.

They were married now, and he had taken a long leave.

They could stay in one room, taking things a step further.

When the time came, the safe would be in his room, and he could look at the marriage certificate however he wanted.

Gu Juntian also walked upstairs, planning to tidy up his room and add some things.

On the other side, Zhou Qinghao was changing clothes in his room.

Gu Juntian would occasionally transfer money to him, and since moving to the Gu Group, he had never been short of money.

So he spent quite a bit of money ordering a very beautiful ancient costume.

This wasn’t a traditional ancient costume, but one made to resemble the outfit of the male lead from a fantasy drama. Previously, Gu Juntian had accidentally seen that TV show and mentioned that the male lead’s clothes looked good and that they would suit him.

He remembered this and then had someone make him clothes based on that male lead’s outfit.

After putting on the clothes, Zhou Qinghao started putting on a wig.

He meticulously dressed himself, and before long, a man in ancient attire appeared in the full-length mirror.

Next, Zhou Qinghao put on the jewelry made of hexagonal diamonds.

Gu Juntian had a good eye; this outfit really suited him.

Zhou Qinghao took a deep breath, went next door, and knocked on Gu Juntian’s door.

The door was quickly opened, and Gu Juntian appeared at the door.

Zhou Qinghao noticed that Gu Juntian was momentarily stunned upon seeing him, and then Gu Juntian’s entire demeanor tensed up.

Zhou Qinghao extended a hand, showing Gu Juntian the two rings in his palm: “I want to grow old with you, are you willing?”

Gu Juntian snapped back to reality and without thinking, replied, “Of course I’m willing!”

Zhou Qinghao smiled.

Gu Juntian added, “Qinghao, you’ve been training for a long time, your body has improved a lot, and you’ve even gained muscle… Shall we have a spar?”

Zhou Qinghao felt a bit flustered upon hearing Gu Juntian’s words: “Fight… fight?”

Were they really going to fight?

At a time like this, Gu Juntian couldn’t possibly mean a real fight, so this “fight” must have another meaning.

“Yes, fight. It’s not convenient to fight in those clothes, so go change into some sportswear. There are too many things here, and it’s not very convenient. Let’s go to the gym to fight.” Gu Juntian looked at Zhou Qinghao, full of fighting spirit.

Right now, Zhou Qinghao was so handsome that he couldn’t take his eyes off him.

Then, for some unknown reason, a surge of fighting spirit welled up from the depths of his heart, and he couldn’t wait to have a passionate fistfight with Zhou Qinghao.

Just a good old-fashioned fistfight.

Zhou Qinghao, with a slightly shy expression, froze.

Gu Juntian actually really wanted to fight him!

In such a good atmosphere, dressed so beautifully, Gu Juntian actually wanted to fight with him?

Was Gu Juntian out of his mind?

After several attempts to pounce on Gu Juntian, only to be rejected each time, the accumulated resentment made Zhou Qinghao furious.

He couldn’t hold back any longer and charged at Gu Juntian like a fierce beast: “Fight? You still want to fight at a time like this? If you have the guts, let’s fight in bed!”

After finishing speaking, he dragged Gu Juntian towards the bed.

Although Zhou Qinghao had been training for a few months, in terms of strength, he was far inferior to Gu Juntian and shouldn’t have been able to drag him.

But Zhou Qinghao was clearly angry, and Gu Juntian didn’t dare to resist, so he could only obediently be dragged to the bed.

Angry Zhou Qinghao looked quite good, he really wanted to fight, no, wait…

Fighting in the usual sense was naturally impossible, it could only be a magical fight.

After the “fight,” the inexplicable surge of combativeness in Gu Juntian dissipated, leaving only a deep sense of satisfaction.

As he took care of Zhou Qinghao, he couldn’t help but wonder.

What was going on with him yesterday? Why did he want to fight Zhou Qinghao?

Zhou Qinghao shouldn’t be able to beat him. If he fought Zhou Qinghao…

Wasn’t this domestic violence? How could this be allowed!

A good man wouldn’t do such things!

Of course, “doing it” a few hundred or thousand times in bed was fine; he was starting to look forward to it.

He really missed out on a lot before.

Zhou Qinghao lay on the bed, his whole body sore.

Gu Juntian was still quite capable; he really misunderstood Gu Juntian before.

Although he felt a bit uncomfortable, he finally felt at ease inside.
