The car drove all the way to a villa area halfway up the mountain and stopped in front of a brightly lit mansion. Gu Jianqiu stopped the car and opened the door for Shen Yu, smiling and saying, “Sister-in-law, we’re here.”

　　Shen Yu got out of the car, and Gu Jianyi took the wrapped gift from the back seat to Shen Yu, “Here, this is the gift my brother asked you to give to the old man. I’ll take you in later. When you give the gift to the old man, you must say that this is prepared by Gu Yingyi for you. This will make the old man happier. Got it?”

　　The gift box was neither too big nor too small, just enough to be held in two hands, and it was very heavy.

　　He is Gu Yingyi’s younger brother, so what he said should be true.

　　”Yes! Yu Yu will, remember it.” The naive Shen Yu did not notice that Gu Jianqiu deliberately emphasized that this was prepared by Gu Yingyi. He happily held the gift and practiced what he was going to say over and over again in his mind. Gu Jianqiu said that there were many people at the banquet, and he could not say anything wrong, let alone embarrass Gu Yingyi.

　　Entering the mansion, the banquet was full of toasts. The countless unfamiliar faces and the Alphas other than Gu Yingyi made Shen Yu subconsciously timid. Gu Jianqiu suddenly pushed him into everyone’s sight and walked towards Mr. Gu who was sitting in the middle of the hall with a smile, “Grandpa, look who’s here to celebrate your birthday.”

Everyone was surprised by the appearance of Gu Jianqiu. As everyone knows, the second young master of the Gu family is idle all day long and is a typical rich second-generation playboy.

　　Everyone present looked at Shen Yu and Gu Jianqiu, including Gu Yingyi who was sitting next to Old Man Gu.

　　Many people discussed and laughed at Shen Yu’s outfit when they saw it.

　　Gu Yingyi was surprised to see Shen Yu.

　　Shen Yu’s palms were sweating from nervousness, and he kept looking at Gu Yingyi in an attempt to seek a sense of security. Gu Jianqiu pushed him in front of Old Man Gu and said, “Old Man, my eldest brother said he wants to give you a big gift, and he wants your new sister-in-law to give it to you personally.”

　　His gift had not been given out yet. Gu Yingyi frowned slightly, not knowing what Gu Jianqiu was up to.

　　Mr. Gu was only fifty years old, but he was tortured by illness and looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties. He was thin and had a sickly face. He smiled twice and said, “Okay, let me see what Yingyi and my daughter-in-law gave me.”

　　Shen Yu mustered up his courage and handed over the gift under everyone’s inquiring gazes. He tried not to be nervous and said what Gu Jianqiu had taught him: “Happy birthday to you. This is a gift from your husband.”

　　Old Master Gu was unpacking the package, while Gu Jianqiu was waiting to see the show with a gloating look on his face.

　　As the gift was opened, the smile on Mr. Gu’s face disappeared. He frowned and threw the gift heavily at Shen Yu’s feet. Shen Yu was startled and shrank back.

　　Everyone looked at the gift on the ground. On Mr. Gu’s 50th birthday, Shen Yu gave him a wall clock as a gift. The most taboo thing at a birthday party is to give a clock as the homonym for “giving a clock” is also “sending off the end”.

　　Gu Jianqiu achieved the desired effect and could not hide the pride in his eyes. People in the audience were talking about it and Gu Yingyi’s face was as black as coal.

　　Shen Yu didn’t understand what was going on and stood there timidly, at a loss as to what to do.

　　Gu Jianqiu pretended to be surprised and said sarcastically, “It seems that sister-in-law really broke his head. But sister-in-law said that the gift was prepared by big brother. Big brother, you are too ignorant. Who would give a clock as a birthday gift? Or are you hoping that our father will give up the throne as soon as possible so that you can inherit it?” He chuckled, “You are too impatient.”

　　Gu Yingyi finally understood what Gu Jianqiu was up to. He was just using Shen Yu to make fun of him.

　　He stood up calmly, walked to Shen Yu, pulled the bewildered Shen Yu into his arms, and said to Old Man Gu, “Father, I have already prepared a gift for you. It is not a clock. You don’t have to take Gu Jianqiu’s prank seriously. Achao’s injury has not healed yet. He didn’t mean it. I apologize to you on his behalf.”

　　Gu Yingyi called Shen Yu “Achao” in public. Shen Yu was so frightened at the moment that he naturally didn’t hear what Gu Yingyi was calling.

　　Old Master Gu didn’t say anything. Everyone was noncommittal about Gu Yingyi’s explanation. Even if it was just a prank by Gu Jianqiu, this banquet was enough to make Gu Yingyi look bad.

　　Although Shen Yu’s brain was not very bright, he could sense the unusual atmosphere at the banquet. Gu Yingyi grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the banquet. He walked very fast and Shen Yu could not keep up. His wrist was pinched and it hurt. He struggled twice, “Hubby, my hand hurts so much……!”

　　When he got to the front of the car, Gu Yingyi’s temper finally exploded. He grabbed Shen Yu’s wrist tightly and pressed him against the car, questioning him fiercely, “Who the hell asked you to come? Do you know how much trouble you caused me today? For birthday, you gave a clock?!”

　　Shen Yu felt as if his wrist was broken, and tears kept falling from his eyes. He knew he had made a mistake again, and he cried and apologized, “Wu… He lied to Yu Yu, it wasn’t, it wasn’t me.”

　　Shen Yu cried inconsolably and blamed himself and apologized again and again: “Yes, I’m sorry, Yu Yu is stupid, I caused trouble for my husband, Yu Yu is stupid, my husband will hit me, hit me.” He held Gu Yingyi’s hand and asked Gu Yingyi to hit him. Gu Yingyi broke free from him. Facing this face that was exactly the same as Shen Chao, he felt indescribably disgusted.

　　He was annoyed by Shen Yu’s crying, so he threw him roughly into the back seat and closed the door. “If you are not smart, just stay at home and don’t come out to cause trouble for me.”

　　The assistant lowered his head and said nothing, and waited until Gu Yingyi got in the car before driving.

　　After returning home, Gu Yingyi went to the study, and Shen Yu ran back to his bedroom with red eyes. Since that night, Gu Yingyi no longer let him enter the master bedroom, so Aunt Chen prepared a second bedroom for him.

　　He lay under the bed and fished out a small blue bag. The bag was very old. It was what Shen Yu used when he was in primary school. There were several patches on it. He opened the bag like a treasure and took out a small box. The box was filled with very cheap candies. He poured all the candies into his palm and picked out a few of the best-looking ones.

　　These candies were given to Shen Yu by the director when he was helping out at the welfare home. Shen Yu ate half of them, but he didn’t throw away the candy wrappers. Instead, he kept them in his backpack as if they were treasures. This box of candies was his most precious thing, and he wanted to give his most precious thing to Gu Yingyi.

　　He held the candy in his palm and encouraged himself, “I am depressed and stupid. I can’t trust others easily and cause trouble for my husband!”

　　He held the candy and ran to Gu Yingyi’s study. Gu Yingyi didn’t have the habit of locking the door, so Shen Yu opened the door and ran to Gu Yingyi’s side. Then he put all the candy in Gu Yingyi’s hand and said carefully and flatteringly, “Hubby, eat the candy and you won’t be angry anymore.”

　　Shen Yu’s idea was very simple. He gave his most precious thing to Gu Yingyi to apologize. However, he forgot that his most precious thing was worthless in Gu Yingyi’s eyes. He even felt disgusted because some melted candy got on his hands because he held it for too long.

　　He angrily threw all the candies at Shen Yu, and shouted, “Don’t show up in front of me again, get out!”
