Chapter 217 - 185: Brother, Momo Is Willing...

Chapter 217: Chapter 185: Brother, Momo Is Willing...

Gu Heng truly hadn’t planned on sleeping with Xu Mo today.

His original plan was to take Xu Mo out for a nice meal, go shopping for some winter clothes, and finally, hand over the keys to this Baiyue Mansion apartment. He never imagined Xu Mo would become so impassioned.

In Gu Heng’s eyes, Xu Mo was a kind, innocent, good girl. He didn’t want her to give away her precious first time so thoughtlessly. He wanted to give her the best experience possible.

"As long as it’s with you, it will always be the best experience for Momo."

Xu Mo gently rubbed her nose against Gu Heng’s, her voice soft and tender.

"Momo..."

"When does your period usually start?"

Gu Heng asked softly.

"Usually around the 8th of the month."

Xu Mo answered truthfully in a low voice.

"Then how about we spend New Year’s Eve together this year?"

Gu Heng couldn’t resist kissing Xu Mo’s glistening lips again as he asked in a gentle voice.

"Yes!"

"Of course!"

Hearing that Gu Heng wanted to spend New Year’s Eve with her, it felt as if countless fireworks were exploding in her heart. She was utterly and completely overjoyed.

At the same time, Xu Mo understood his underlying meaning.

New Year’s Eve would be the night Gu Heng would truly make her his.

"Then it’s a date."

"We’ll spend New Year’s Eve together."

Gu Heng booped Xu Mo’s nose, then lifted her off his body. "I’ll take you back to your old place in a bit. Pack up your things there tonight, and you can move in here tomorrow."

"Okay."

Xu Mo nodded obediently.

"Shall we get going now?"

Gu Heng prompted her. "I have some research and an inspection to do tonight, so I’m afraid I can’t spend any more time with you."

"That’s okay."

"You should focus on your work."

After speaking, with her face flushed red and her large eyes fluttering with shyness, Xu Mo said in a tiny voice, "Gu Heng, could you wait for me for a moment? I want to go into the bedroom and change my panties."

Gu Heng froze for a second, then immediately understood what she meant.

"Change your panties?"

"What about them?"

Gu Heng’s lips curved into a slight smirk as he teased her.

"They’re just... you know..."

Xu Mo was so embarrassed she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

"Go on."

"I’ll wait for you in the living room."

When they were shopping earlier, Gu Heng had even taken Xu Mo for a tour through a lingerie store.

Compared to the lace styles that Jiang Ruan and Luo Xiwen preferred, the ones Xu Mo chose were all cute, cotton, and easy to wash.

Her pretty face beet red with embarrassment, Xu Mo lowered her head and scurried to the entryway. She found a new pair of panties from a shopping bag and hurried into the master suite.

About ten minutes later, Xu Mo finally came out of the master suite.

"What took you so long?"

Seeing Xu Mo emerge, Gu Heng stood up from the sofa.

"I saw some laundry detergent in the bathroom, so I went ahead and washed the pair I took off."

Xu Mo replied, a little sheepishly.

"Alright."

"Let’s go, then."

Gu Heng gave a faint smile. "Just leave the clothes here. You’re moving in tomorrow anyway."

"Mhm."

"That’s what I was thinking too."

Chatting as they went, they closed the door, took the elevator back downstairs, and Gu Heng drove the Maybach GLS 600 toward Xu Mo’s old rental apartment.

Laughing and talking, Gu Heng soon dropped Xu Mo off at her apartment.

"Gu Heng~"

"I’m leaving now~"

"Don’t work too hard, and I’ll miss you~"

Before getting out of the car, Xu Mo leaned over and gave Gu Heng a quick kiss.

"Okay."

Gu Heng smiled and patted Xu Mo’s head, watching as she got out of the car and walked away until she was out of sight.

After Xu Mo had left, a Brabus V260L with a blacked-out exterior appeared in the Maybach GLS 600’s rearview mirror. It slowly drove up and stopped behind Gu Heng’s Maybach.

Seeing this, Gu Heng opened his door and got out.

At the same time, the driver and passenger doors of the Brabus opened, and two burly men in black, stand-collar cashmere coats stepped out.

"Take this car home for me."

Gu Heng casually tossed the car keys to the man who had gotten out of the passenger seat.

"Yes, sir."

The burly man replied respectfully, lowering his head.

"Chairman Gu, where are we heading next?"

Zhong Hua stood before the rear passenger door with his hands behind his back.

"Yunzun High-altitude Restaurant and Bar."

Gu Heng got into the van, tapped the LCD control panel, and the captain’s chair immediately adjusted to his favorite seating parameters.

This Brabus V260L was the second vehicle Deng Zhihong had delivered to Gu Heng, after the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The Lorentz Bay Stream, his favorite business van, wouldn’t be delivered for some time yet.

"Understood."

Zhong Hua nodded and pressed the button to close the automatic door for Gu Heng, then quickly walked around to the driver’s seat.

Soon, the Brabus V260L was driving out of the residential complex.

Ever since Gu Heng got a driver, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and a Brabus V260L, he’d found that being chauffeured was much more comfortable. Now, unless it was absolutely necessary, he never drove himself.

For business trips, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan served as a temporary substitute until his Red Flag National Gift was delivered.

For casual outings, he basically used the business van—low-key and comfortable.

Unconsciously, a light snow began to fall from the sky again.

After the Brabus V260L left Xu Mo’s residential complex and returned to the main road, two Hongqi Guoyao vehicles stopped hiding and took up positions, one in front and one behind the Brabus.

These days, Gu Heng never went anywhere without bodyguards.

Just now, while he and Xu Mo were out eating and shopping, they had appeared to be a young couple on a private date. In reality, Gu Heng’s plainclothes bodyguards were always hidden nearby.

If Gu Heng were to encounter any danger, these bodyguards would immediately appear at his side to ensure he suffered no harm.

Gu Heng lowered his head and continued reading *Capital*. Outside the window, the snow and wind grew stronger. Many pedestrians clutched their clothes tightly against the biting wind, while delivery drivers sped through the blizzard.

In that moment, it was as if they belonged to two different worlds.

"Capital comes dripping from head to foot, from every pore, with blood and dirt."

"The exploitation of labour-power is the primary human right of capital."

"The economic base determines the superstructure."

...

This book, *Capital*, was not just a critique of capitalism; it also revealed the deep contradictions of modern society. Problems like the wealth gap, environmental crises, and technological alienation, all dominated by the logic of capital, were essentially a continuation of "capital’s filthy blood."

Compared to *The Prince*, this book by Marx, *Capital*, was a much more difficult read for Gu Heng. It presented the authentic workings of 19th-century capitalist society right before his eyes.

The book was meant to be Marx’s critique of capitalism, but as Gu Heng read, he couldn’t help but involuntarily put himself in the shoes of the one being criticized.

’Given the sheer scale of wealth he now possessed, it was hard not to resonate with some of the capitalists’ methods!’

Lost in deep reading, time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, the Brabus V260L carrying Gu Heng arrived at the underground parking garage of the Beichun Huarun Center.

As the tallest building in Beichun, the Beichun Huarun Center stood over 270 meters high.

Zhen Cui Group’s Yunzun High-altitude Restaurant and Bar was located on the top floor of the Beichun Huarun Center. Gu Heng had come here tonight to begin his in-depth research on the final restaurant brand under Zhen Cui Group, aiming to complete the "Tempering the Heart" challenge as quickly as possible.

At that moment, by the entrance from the underground parking garage to the elevator lobby.

Huang Xin, the general manager of Yunzun High-altitude Restaurant and Bar, was already waiting there with several members of the restaurant’s management. When they saw two Hongqi Guoyao vehicles escorting a Brabus V260L as it approached with an imposing presence, they all snapped to attention, subtly straightening their backs...
