Chap 85
On the other side, as soon as Han Yang arrived at the filming location for work, he received
a message from Gu Nuan.
Gu Nuan: [Ding ding ding! Calling Big Bro! Calling Big Bro!]
Han Yang couldn’t help but smile as he replied: [Here.]
Gu Nuan sent a sleepy expression: [I was so tired at the charity gala yesterday. When I got
home, I slept until morning. Finally felt comfortable. Brother, did you come back in the
middle of the night? I smell a hint of mint on me, it smells really nice.]
Han Yang: [I knew you were back home, so I came back too. But you were sleeping so
soundly, I didn’t want to wake you.]
Gu Nuan happily turned on his bed, wrapped himself in the blanket, which was full of mint
pheromones; Han Yang must have cuddled with him for a while when he was asleep. He
took a deep breath, but he didn’t tell Han Yang that he was currently nuzzling the blanket.
Gu Nuan: [Brother, wake me up next time. It’s not fair. You’ve seen me, but I haven’t seen
you.] He could only savor the lingering scent of mint pheromones, feeling quite pitiful.
Han Yang replied quickly with a sweet smile on his face: [Alright, if you’re not so tired next
time.]
His attentive agent, Lu Yuan, asked, “Is that Young Master Gu?”
“Yeah.” Han Yang was in a good mood, and his tone was cheerful.
“Your relationship is really good,” Lu Yuan remarked.
“Young Gu CEO looked very smart on TV.”

Han Yang had seen the reports of the charity gala on TV this morning and saved all the
photos of Gu Nuan captured by the media. Because these photos were exceptionally good-
looking, Han Yang even thought about printing them out, framing them, and hanging them
up at home.
Naturally, this successful appearance marked Gu Nuan’s first public appearance in the
public eye and could be considered an announcement by Gu Yuanchen about his heir.
Originally, Gu Yuanchen had no plans to reveal his son’s appearance while Gu Nuan was
still in college, but since Gu Nuan had already joined the company, he would occasionally
attend events, leading to media coverage. So, instead of letting it happen haphazardly, they
decided to make an official announcement to avoid speculations.
After all, there was one year when Gu Yuanchen, taking advantage of a rare break, had gone
to the mall with Gu Nuan, who was still in high school, to buy a cake and watch a movie.
Unfortunately, they were photographed from behind by an unethical media outlet, which
spun the story as Gu Yuanchen having an affair with a younger partner. This infuriated Ji
Mu, who couldn’t believe the audacity of such a baseless story.
After a fit of anger, Ji Mu had gone to Gu Yuanchen, holding his phone, and asked, “Which
media outlet published this?”
Gu Yuanchen had reassured him, saying, “I’ve already warned them.”
“Never mind, these media outlets just love making up stories, and anyway, you’ve already
clarified it,” Ji Mu said. Once he was done being angry, he always had a nonchalant attitude
towards everything outside his family.
Gu Yuanchen was puzzled, not understanding Ji Mu’s meaning.

But Ji Mu stared at the screen, furrowing his brows slightly, and said, “Could you ask that
media outlet for a high-resolution image of you and Xiao Nuan from that day? It was a good
shot, and I can frame it and put it in our family album.”
Gu Yuanchen: “…”
Time passed quickly, and the year was coming to an end.
In the latter half of this year, Han Yang had a busy schedule. He had joined two projects, one
for a movie and one for a TV drama. The Gu Group’s pheromone isolation agent was also
preparing to launch, and Han Yang had done promotional photos and s for it.
During an on-location shoot, Gu Yuanchen went with Gu Nuan, who was interning at the
company, to visit the set. He bought coffee and cakes for all the staff members.
This action made many people realize that Han Yang’s relationship with the Gu family was
not ordinary. However, the exact nature of their relationship remained undisclosed
because Han Yang was relatively low-profile and had not made it public. Only a few insiders
knew that Han Yang, in addition to being adopted by the Gu family, was also the unofficial
fiancé of Gu Nuan, the young master of the Gu family.
Such a status was not to be trifled with.
Of course, the entertainment industry was a place where secrets couldn’t be kept for long.
Many people privately speculated and claimed that Han Yang, a lowly worker in the
entertainment industry, had climbed up to the high branches of the Gu family and started a
romantic relationship with young Gu CEO, thus obtaining the opportunity for this
endorsement.
Unfortunately, after Gu Nuan visited the set, many of the gossip mongers were left
unsatisfied. Gu Nuan had quietly stayed by Gu Yuanchen’s side, maintaining a friendly but
distant relationship with Han Yang. Furthermore, Gu Nuan’s cold and unapproachable
appearance made it difficult for anyone to get close to him.
This left many people disappointed and made them think that the rumors of Han Yang and
Gu Nuan’s romantic relationship were baseless.

While getting coffee, a staff member accidentally brushed against Gu Nuan’s suit and
quickly apologized.
Gu Nuan lowered his eyes slightly and spoke in a calm tone, “It’s okay.”
Many people on set were amazed by how pleasant Gu Nuan’s voice was; even though he
appeared aloof when didn’t speak.
But what no one knew was that Gu Nuan was lost in his thoughts, thinking, “Why hasn’t
Father left yet? I really want to hug my brother!”
…
As Gu Nuan wished, Gu Yuanchen was indeed very busy that day. After giving a few
instructions to Gu Nuan, he left the set first, as he had to catch a flight for a business trip. So,
he didn’t stay at the filming location for long.
On the other hand, the current young Gu CEO, dressed in a light-colored suit, remained at
the set for a while. Despite his seemingly aloof demeanor, he sneakily entered Han Yang’s
personal rest room without Han Yang’s knowledge.
His assistant, Xiao Xu, cleverly covered for him and lied to Gu Yuanchen, saying, “[Gu CEO,
Young Master Gu has already returned to the company.]”
Facing Gu Nuan’s little antics, Gu Yuanchen chuckled and said, “I know he won’t leave Han
Yang’s side so easily, who is he fooling?…” He sighed with his secretary, Chen Yuan, and
continued, “It seems like I’m retiring too early. I bought that vacation villa abroad too
soon.”
“Young love is truly invigorating, they need time alone together. Young Master Gu has been
working hard lately. Don’t forget, Gu CEO, that you used to…” Chen Yuan stopped himself
halfway, and under Gu Yuanchen’s gaze, he smiled politely and changed the subject. “It
doesn’t matter if you buy the villa early or late, Young Master Gu will do good job once he
takes over the company.”
Meanwhile, on the set, many staff members began whispering as soon as Gu Yuanchen left.
“So, this is Young Master Gu Nuan from the Gu family? Over the years, Mr. Gu has kept him
hidden so well; this is the first time I’ve seen what Young Master Gu Nuan looks like.”
“I heard he’s like an alpine flower. Besides work matters, he hardly talks to anyone at the
company. But his work skills are quite impressive.” To add a touch of authenticity to the
gossip, he added, “My sister works there, and she told me.”
“He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth; why would he bother talking to ordinary
folks?”
“..If he hasn’t been claimed by anyone yet, I’m definitely chasing after him.”

“Come on, you think he’d be interested in you? You’d better stop dreaming.”
“But seriously, which Alpha is so lucky… Have you seen the mark on the back of his neck?
It’s really deep.”
And so on.
As Han Yang walked past them, he intentionally cleared his throat, causing several Beta
staff members to awkwardly disperse. Han Yang took a small sip of his coffee, furrowing his
brow.
He had always felt that Gu Nuan was too likable, and he was worried that he would have
many pursuers at the company. Now, it seemed that Gu Nuan had indeed assumed the
identity of Young Master Gu, making it nearly impossible for anyone to get close to him.
Even Han Yang, who hadn’t seen him in a month, had to rely on video calls and messages to
stay connected.
Ding—
Han Yang’s phone received a message from Gu Nuan: [Come to the dressing room
urgently!!! Hurry!!!]
Shortly after, Han Yang received another message: “[Brother, come quietly. Father doesn’t
want us to reveal our relationship yet… if he finds out I’ve been secretly meeting you at
work, he’ll say I’m being immature!]”
“Ding—”
Before Han Yang could reply, another message came through.
Gu Nuan lamented: “[Brother, I feel like crying just thinking about it! We’re even worse off
than the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl; at least they have the Magpie Bridge, we don’t even
have a cow…]”
Han Yang: “.”
Han Yang: “[I’ll be there right away.]”
Han Yang: “[I’m running there.]”
