Chapter 10:
"Today's new product launch is very important, it's the first major endorsement you've taken since your comeback, Xiao Yan, you must carefully read the script, especially the brand name and the new product model, you must not make any mistakes." The manager handed two pages of A4 paper to Tu Yan and then turned to urge the makeup artist and assistants.
Tu Yan casually flipped through the papers, not paying much attention, but caught a familiar name in his peripheral vision, causing him to pause.
Gu Chaocheng.
"No way..." Tu Yan immediately had a headache, calling the manager over and questioning her, "Is this Hua Sheng's new product launch?" The manager was a bit bewildered by the question, "Yes, why? What's wrong?" "Then, Gu Chaocheng is also coming?" "Of course, he's the person in charge, and he will be sitting next to you." Tu Yan cursed silently, and the manager was puzzled, "Do you have a conflict with Mr.
Gu?"
Tan Yan waved his hand casually and found an excuse: "It's nothing, just heard that he has a bad temper." The agent smiled and said, "You scared me.
I thought something big happened.
He is the main financial backer, even if he has a bad temper, we can't offend him.
Alright, you can watch for a few more minutes, then go do your hair and makeup.
The press conference starts at three." When Tan Yan entered the venue, he received a strong cheer from the fans in the back rows.
Although he had been out of the public eye for half a year, he quickly adapted to the spotlight and the red carpet.
He put on a suitable smile, greeted the fans, and then was guided to his exclusive seat by the staff.
Gu Chaocheng arrived just before the press conference, and when he saw Tan Yan, he frowned and sat down reluctantly, not giving Tan Yan a pleasant look.
Gu Chaocheng had the typical appearance of a top-level alpha - noble and imposing.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately became the center of attention.
He and Gu Chenbai were the most uninvolved brothers.
Although they looked alike, their temperaments were completely different.
"Choosing you as the spokesperson was a mistake by the advertising department.
Don't get ahead of yourself," the host enthusiastically announced the agenda of the press conference, but Gu Chaocheng suddenly spoke up, his voice loud enough for Tan Yan to hear: "You and Chenbai are already divorced, and the Gu family will no longer provide any shelter for your career." Tan Yan scoffed, "I couldn't ask for it." He and Gu Chaocheng had never gotten along because Gu Chaocheng was obsessed with his younger brother.
In his eyes, no one was worthy of Gu Chenbai.
From the moment Tan Yan entered the Gu family, Gu Chaocheng had never given him a proper look.
"Don't speak too soon, or one day when you're desperate, it will be difficult for you to sign a contract to sell yourself." "Don't worry, President Gu.
That day will never come," Tan Yan turned his head and gave Gu Chaocheng a fake smile, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"You don't need to mock me like this.
Even if you look down on me, it won't change the fact that Gu Chenbai loves me." "Love you? Where does your confidence come from? You two are already divorced, and Chenbai will soon start his new life.
He will eventually forget about you." Tan Yan sat up straight, looking calm, but he tightly clenched his sleeve in the darkness.
"Beautiful omegas aren't hard to find, are they? There are more than just you acting in youth films," Gu Chaocheng sneered, "But what about you? Can you find someone better than Chenbai?" Tan Yan remained silent, staring straight ahead, not letting the reporters in the back row see any clues.
Gu Chaocheng continued, "I'm already introducing suitable partners to Chenbai.
Each one is better than you.
By the way, Miss San from HT Group had afternoon tea at Chenbai's house yesterday..." Tan Yan suddenly felt a string in his mind snap, and the scene in front of him became blurry, and the voices around him became empty.
Tan Yan didn't know how he got through the entire press conference.
He only remembered himself being like a mechanical prop.
Whenever the host asked him to smile, he smiled.
When asked to take pictures with his phone, he took pictures.
He forced himself not to think about that person, but he failed.
As soon as the press conference ended, he grabbed his coat and car keys and walked away, ignoring the shouts from his agent behind him.
When he arrived at Gu Chenbai's doorstep, he turned off the car engine and leaned on the steering wheel, feeling confused amidst the sound of the rain outside.
What was he doing? Why did he come here?
What does he want to see? Or what does he not want to see? ...
He acted before his brain could catch up.
Before he found the answer, he had already gotten off the car, entered the door code lock, and arrived under the porch at the entrance.
He knocked on the door twice, and half a minute later, the door was finally opened.
Gu Chenbai, dressed in deep blue home clothes, was somewhat surprised to see him.
"Tu Bao?" At this moment, Tu Yan heard the sound of porcelain plates colliding in the kitchen, followed by a female voice saying, "Chenbai, who is outside?" The female voice sounded somewhat familiar, but it was enveloped by the sound of rain, and Tu Yan couldn't distinguish it clearly.
He felt something in his chest falling rapidly, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Gu Chenbai was afraid of him getting wet in the rain, so he quickly pulled him inside.
Tu Yan wanted to turn around and leave, but Gu Chenbai was stronger than him and he couldn't break free.
Just as they were deadlocked, the person in the kitchen walked out.
"It's Xiao Yan." Tu Yan was stunned, raised his head, and became completely dumbfounded.
It turned out to be Gu Chenbai's mother.
When Gu's mother saw him, she was somewhat surprised, then looked helplessly at Gu Chenbai.
The smile on her face disappeared, and she said lightly, "I thought you two had already stopped seeing each other." Gu Chenbai didn't reply, he just said, "It's getting late, you should go back first.
Chen Shu's car is already at the door." Tu Yan kept his head lowered the whole time, he didn't dare to look into Gu's mother's eyes.
Gu's mother didn't like Tu Yan either, but her dislike was different from Gu Chaocheng's.
She was more concerned about her own son.
Gu Chenbai grew up in the love of his parents and older brother, but he suffered countless injuries in Tu Yan's hands.
Anyone who saw it would feel sorry for him.
Tu Yan understood, so he felt guilty towards Gu's mother.
Gu's mother didn't speak for a long time, her gaze shifting between Tu Yan and Gu Chenbai's faces, and then she sighed deeply.
"Take good care of yourself.
Mom will come another day." After Gu's mother finished speaking, she picked up her bag and left.
Once the door closed, Gu Chenbai reached out and touched Tu Yan's ear, teasing him, "Little Tu Bao, your ears drooped in fright, how pitiful." Tu Yan's mood had gone through a roller coaster ride.
Now, he only felt a mix of emotions and didn't know how to feel about it.
He pushed Gu Chenbai away and wanted to leave, but Gu Chenbai held onto him.
"Why did you suddenly come over today? You have to give me a reason, right?" "What's it to you?" "This is my home, you know you're trespassing, right?" Gu Chenbai playfully lowered his head and teased him, "Be careful, I'll call the police." Tu Yan didn't want to listen to him and was about to shake off his arm to leave, but he suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chenbai felt that something was not right, so he approached and then smelled a strong scent of milk.
He froze for a moment, then said, "Tu Bao, you're in heat." ...
When the agent's call came in, Tu Yan was lying on the bed on the second floor, biting the corner of the blanket, his legs tangled together.
The alpha emitting strong pheromones asked him, "Tu Bao, do you want my temporary mark or do you want me?" Tu Yan could only whimper, unable to speak.
Gu Chenbai supported himself on the side of his neck, leaned down and kissed his forehead, then held onto his legs, separating them, easily breaking down Tu Yan's stubborn resistance.
Gu Chenbai leaned against his already soaked entrance, slowly pushing in bit by bit.
He kissed Tu Yan's lips and whispered softly, "Tu Bao, don't blame me, you willingly walked into this."
