Strawberry Pop Pop Pop - Chap 35

Chap 35
Chen Yuan was Gu Yuanchen’s personal secretary. He had been working with Gu Yuanchen
since he was 24 years old, handling many tricky matters for him, and he always handled
them well. He was efficient, intelligent, and a rare talent.
He was now 42 years old, roughly the same age as Gu Yuanchen.
At this moment, two hours after ending the call with Han Yang, he was on the phone with
Gu Yuanchen, who was in W country.
“Yes, Mr. Gu, I haven’t sent the surveillance video to Young Master yet.” Chen Yuan looked
at the paused surveillance footage on his computer, clearly seeing the appearance of the
Alpha with the scar on his face. He said in a low voice, “You didn’t make a mistake; it’s
indeed him. He has returned to C city, and it frightened Young Master.”
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yuanchen’s voice was not in good shape.
“No need to send the surveillance to Han Yang; I will contact him. Also, please make sure
Han Yang doesn’t come into contact with this person again.”
Four years ago, Han Yang nearly killed the other Alpha due to an incident involving Gu
Nuan. If the police and Gu Yuanchen hadn’t intervened in time, Han Yang’s life would have
been ruined. Gu Yuanchen wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen again, and as a parent, he
wanted to protect his two children as much as possible.
“Understood, Mr. Gu.”
Gu Yuanchen was tired but showed no sign of letting up. He watched the surveillance video
of Gu Nuan falling to the ground, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. He said in a low voice,
“Get this person out of C city as soon as possible. Take care of it promptly.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Ji Mu, who was standing nearby, also had an uneasy expression. “Yuanchen, I want to book
a flight as soon as possible. There’s nothing urgent on our end anymore. Let’s go back first.”
Ji Mu was worried about Gu Nuan and Han Yang.

Gu Yuanchen nodded. “Okay.” He dialed Han Yang’s number. “I’ll call Han Yang first. I’m
afraid he might act impulsively. Even without this surveillance, if Gu Nuan was frightened
like this, he probably guessed it.”
Ji Mu thought of something and clenched his fists, nodding.
Then, he said softly, “Yuanchen, if I remember correctly, Han Yongnian might be getting
released from prison soon. Han Yang seems to be preparing for something, but I haven’t
investigated it thoroughly. This is his biological father, and I don’t know if I should
intervene.”
After all, Han Yang had grown up.
Gu Yunchen walked over and placed a hand on Ji Mu’s shoulder, comforting him, “Han
Yongnian is indeed trouble, and he’s the source of Han Yang’s trauma. Let him handle it on
his own for now. You can rest assured that I’ll keep a close eye on Gu Nuan.”
The night was so long.
In the Gu family’s villa in Country C, Gu Nuan groggily opened his eyes.
The events of the daytime suddenly seemed to disappear from his mind for a moment.

The dim light in the room fell on his amber eyes, and he sensed that he was in someone’s
arms, with a pleasant hint of peppermint scent on the tip of his nose. It was like the
pheromones of his brother, Han Yang?
Gu Nuan was taken aback and dared not move.
He focused and realized that it was indeed Han Yang.
Were they sleeping in the same bed now?
“…?”
Just as Gu Nuan was starting to doubt if he had accidentally crawled into Han Yang’s bed
again, he discovered that he was in his own room, on his own bed, with his own pillow,
blanket, and the soon-to-be-his Han Yang.
“Did my brother crawl into my bed?”
Unbelievable thoughts filled Gu Nuan’s mind.
He blinked his eyes, gazing at Han Yang with an infatuated expression. In this enchanting
moment, Gu Nuan retained a trace of rationality and pinched his own thigh.
It hurt, and it wasn’t a dream!

Gu Nuan’s heart pounded so loudly that it felt like it was choking him. After hesitating for a
minute, he reached out and lightly kissed Han Yang’s lips.
His lips were soft.
Forget about first kisses or romance; Gu Nuan didn’t care about any of that. As long as it
was Han Yang, it was all right.
The long night passed, and Gu Nuan contentedly snuggled in Han Yang’s embrace, inhaling
the soothing scent of peppermint. Before long, he closed his eyes again.
However, he didn’t know that Han Yang had had shallow sleep ever since the incident four
years ago. So when Gu Nuan fell asleep again, Han Yang slowly opened his eyes.
Like a delayed wildfire, Han Yang’s ears turned red, frighteningly hot.
Gu Nuan had kissed him, just now, twice.
“…”
It was six in the morning.
Han Yang woke up first, awakened by Gu Nuan’s “disturbance.” There was no way around
it; Gu Nuan’s little actions were just too much. Even when he wanted to pretend to be
asleep, it was impossible.
He opened his eyes, and Gu Nuan quickly closed his own eyes, obediently burying himself
in Han Yang’s embrace.
“Gu Nuan.”
Gu Nuan didn’t make a sound.
Han Yang said, “I know you’re awake.”
“…”

“Don’t pretend to be asleep.”
Gu Nuan’s brows twitched, feeling that the joyful moments passed by so quickly, making
them seem too precious and fleeting.
He rolled off Han Yang, rubbed his eyes, and pretended with poorly acted astonishment,
“Oh, Brother, why are you in my bed?”
He had been excited for too long this time, so his emotions were completely off, his lines
were wrong, and his performance was simply nothing like that of someone who had just
woken up. His acting skills were really poor.
Han Yang sat up, put on his slippers, and acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary. “What
would you like for breakfast?”
“Are you going to make it?”
“Yes.”
“Sugar tomatoes!”
Nobody eats sugar tomatoes first thing in the morning. This suggestion was rejected by Han
Yang, who said, “I can make you a tomato sandwich.”
Gu Nuan had no objections, and he got out of bed barefoot, but Han Yang stopped him and
asked him to put on slippers. The weather in C city was cold in the morning. Although the
villa had underfloor heating, Han Yang didn’t allow Gu Nuan to walk around without shoes
and socks, fearing he might catch a cold.
“Brother, I think I could eat ten sandwiches right now.”
“It’s because you didn’t eat dinner last night,” Han Yang paused, “and you didn’t take your
medicine.”
“Oh no.”
Not eating dinner was one thing, but forgetting to take his medicine was a bigger issue.
Whether it was Ji Mu or Dr. Wang, if they found out that he had missed a dose of medicine,
they would probably nag him for a while.
Gu Nuan sought Han Yang’s help, “Please don’t tell Dad, okay?”
Han Yang’s heart softened. “What happened yesterday had reasons, and not taking your
medicine wasn’t your fault…” He crouched down and, as before, put socks on Gu Nuan.
“Brother, I’m already grown..” Gu Nuan was afraid that Han Yang would treat him like a
child, so he pulled his foot out of Han Yang’s hand.
Han Yang was used to it. Gu Nuan didn’t like wearing socks, so he didn’t make him wear
them.
He checked the time. “Uncle Gu and Uncle Ji will probably be back by noon.”
“What? So quickly?” Gu Nuan picked up his phone and checked, but he hadn’t received any
messages or calls from Gu Yuanchen or Ji Mu. Normally, if they were returning to the
country, Ji Mu would definitely let Gu Nuan know in advance.
“Last night, Uncle Gu called me.”
As Han Yang spoke, he opened Gu Nuan’s wardrobe and took out a set of home clothes for
him. He didn’t proactively ask Gu Nuan about what happened yesterday because he already
knew everything. He didn’t need Gu Nuan to relive this terrible experience, nor did he need
Gu Nuan to explain anything.
Instead, it was Gu Nuan who vaguely sensed something unusual.
Hesitating, he decided to come clean. “Yesterday, I… I ran into Xu Minghao. Do you
remember him?”
How could Han Yang forget? The scar on his ear was inflicted by Xu Minghao. Gu Nuan’s
current situation had also started with a “prank” by Xu Minghao.
He had wanted to kill him; how could he forget?
In a cold voice, his teeth clanged together, “I haven’t forgotten.”
