Novel Full 293 Pleasant Surprise
“Where are my mom and uncle?” Lu Xuan asked his mother’s secretary when he reached the top floor. The excitement on his face was not hidden from Miss Shen who was his mother’s secretary and Shen Yue’s mother.
“President An and CEO Gu are having lunch in her office. She ordered us not to let anyone in, “Miss Shen replied.
“Well, it’s urgent, ” Lu Xuan said. “Please.”
Since he was requesting, she couldn’t refuse him after all according to her boss, if any of her children mentioned an emergency, An Qinyan must be informed as soon as possible.
“Let me contact her first, “Miss Shen said and called her boss. After the call, she looked at him and added, “She said you only have five minutes.”
“Thank you, Miss Shen, ” Lu Xuan said with a wide smile and walked inside the office. He looked at his mother and stepfather and waved at them. “Hey, guys. I have a surprise for you.”
The couple were peacefully having lunch together and spending some rare time with each other when he intruded on them. Was he guilty about it? Not at all! The news that he had would make them happier. Seriously, he could see how much these two people miss Gu Shangyan. Now that the man was back home, how could he wait to break this news?
An Qinyan looked at her son and said in a strict tone, “Lu Xuan, if you are introducing your new girlfriend to me when I am enjoying a rare time with my husband in the office, you won’t be forgiven.”
“Mom, I’m not introducing any woman to you, ” Lu Xuan said. “It’s something serious.”
He had never introduced any of his girlfriends to his mother. Hell, he didn’t even have a serious girlfriend. It was just that his mother would catch him with them and those girls would introduce themselves to her without asking him. What could he do? He had dated all the species of women present in the dating market.
“The day you will get serious about your affairs, the dating scandals will stop, ” Gu Yanxi commented.
“Uncle, you too?” Lu Xuan sighed. What was wrong with all these people? It was not like he was double-timing anyone.
Gu Yanxi pointed at the newspaper and said, “You are accused of cheating on your current girlfriend with these three women. We are confused about who your current girlfriend is. All newspapers claim different women to be your girlfriend. I have been trying to solve this mystery but it’s a little hard to solve just by myself.”
“Just don’t trust these newspapers, ” Lu Xuan said, almost begging him. He looked at the newspaper and then at the girls. One of them was his client. Two of them were celebrities who he met only once. He only dated thrice in his life. And none of his girlfriends lasted longer than two months because when they realised that there was no monetary benefit to being the girlfriend of a rich heir, they would leave. The last time he dated was one year ago. His work demanded him to meet different clients daily and these news sources had no other job than discussing his dating life.
Lu Xuan muttered, “I came to give you guys a surprise but you began scolding me again.”
He felt like he was sixteen once again and he caused a blunder so his mother was scolding him now.
“Alright, what’s your surprise, ” An Qinyan asked. She recalled that Shen Qian informed him that Lu Xuan came for something urgent.
Lu Xuan grinned. “I want you to meet the senior architect of the village project.”
“Why would we meet your new senior architect? Your project has already caused a big scandal that you have yet to solve, ” An Qinyan pointed out.
“Mom, please. Show some excitement, ” Lu Xuan requested. He looked at his stepfather and said, “Uncle, leave mom. You come with me. I will give you a pleasant surprise.”
“I’m afraid I can’t leave the wife I spent sixteen years chasing, ” Gu Yanxi smiled provokingly at the man. He had not forgotten about the incident where his stepson kindly mentioned to his wife that he was playing golf with two pretty ladies. This almost caused his wife to divorce him right on the spot. He just wanted to give him a hard time.
Lu Xuan sighed. He went out of the office and saw Gu Shangyan talking with Miss Shen. He dragged his brother with him to show the other two that he really came with a pleasant surprise.
“Surprise!” Lu Xuan grinned at the two of them and brought Gu Shangyan inside with him. He looked at two dumbfounded people and announced with another grin, “Guys, meet the senior architect, Mr Gu Shangyan. The name is familiar, isn’t it?”
Gu Yanxi stood up in amazement and walked to his nephew. He touched his face as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “Am I dreaming?”
Gu Shangyan hugged his uncle, whispering, “I missed you, old man.”
Gu Yanxi’s eyes were brimming with tears as he was hugging his nephew. He couldn’t believe that his nephew was finally here. They broke the hug and looked at each other before smiling and going for another hug.
“This is certainly a pleasant surprise.” Gu Yanxi whispered as Gu Shangyan wiped his tears.
“Come on, don’t ruin your macho image in my eyes, “Gu Shangyan tried to joke but failed miserably.
After hugging his uncle, Gu Shangyan went to An Qinyan and hugged her.
“Oh Shangyan, we missed you so much, “She whispered. “You are finally here to see us.”
“I’m home now, Auntie, ” Gu Shangyan whispered back.
“This calls for a celebration, doesn’t it?” An Qinyan said with a wide smile.
“Indeed, “Lu Xuan chimed in.
