Chapter 39

 Gu Ye knew that he was sulking unnecessarily.

　　The watch was given by Qiao Yang's sister-in-law Liang Yuqian. There was nothing between Qiao Yang and Qin Man.

　　Nothing can happen between the two of them.

　　Just thinking of the photos of the two of them wearing the same watch in Qin Man's circle of friends, it felt like his own territory was being invaded by a foreign enemy. The strong desire for possession and aggression caused the blood in his body to rush to his brain, making him dizzy and anxious.

　　He tried his best to control his desire to confess to Qiao Yang and also tried his best to suppress the urge to warn and threaten Qin Man.

　　He barely stayed awake and rational, restraining himself from doing impulsive and childish things.

　　During this period, his patient and gentle attacks made Qiao Yang get used to him, and he began to rely on him beyond friendship.

　　If Qiao Yang knew that he had ulterior motives for him at this time, he would definitely be wary of him or even alienate him.

　　Just like half-ripe fruits picked in advance, the taste in the mouth is only sour and hard to swallow.

　　He can't rush.

　　He must follow this rhythm to ripen this relationship bit by bit until he can taste the sweetest and most delicious fruit.

　　At that time, you can take it for yourself openly and declare to everyone: This is my sunshine, no one can touch it.

　　~

　　A week later, Qiao Yang received Gu Ye's return gift.

　　It’s also a watch.

　　Half of the dial is a pattern design of black and white piano keys, and the other half is an elegant high-pitched common table mark of g clef. Even the two hands are two-quarter notes.

　　Except for the g clef mark and the two brilliant diamonds in the center of the hands, the whole watch is only black and white.

　　It is simple and contains the beauty of music and art.

　　A composer who works with notes every day has no resistance to such a watch.

　　Qiao Yang was surprised and held it in his hand, caressing it carefully, and asked: "Where did you buy this kind? It's so rare."

　　As expected, he never hides his preferences.

　　Gu Ye looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "I thought you might like this, so I asked someone to check it out. As long as you like it."

　　Qiao Yang looked carefully at the dial and strap, but couldn't find the label. But the workmanship and design are definitely worth a lot of money.

　　It should be a specially customized one.

　　He has long been accustomed to the consumption levels of those around him. But he still asked casually: "Isn't this cheap?"

　　Gu Ye didn't answer, but took the watch from his hand and asked tentatively: "Shall I put it on for you to try?"

　　"good."

　　Qiao Yang rolled up his sleeves naturally and extended his arms to him.

　　Gu Ye held the watch in both hands, slowly put it on the man's wrist, and carefully fastened the buckle at the bottom.

　　The wide palms inevitably look clumsy when doing delicate work. The person also looked more focused, with his long fingers touching the skin of Qiao Yang's wrist from time to time.

　　Qiao Yang didn't think anything was wrong at first.

　　But when he looked at Gu Ye, who was taller than him, with his head lowered and his focused expression and gentle and careful movements, a warm trickle flowed from his heart.

　　This scene seems familiar.

　　Qiao Sheng once gave him a watch and wore it like this.

　　Even his mood now was the same as that time. He could feel the gentleness and patience of the person who put the watch on him.

　　When Gu Ye raised his head, Qiao Yang was smiling at him and said, "The size is just right."

　　A pair of narrow and beautiful red phoenix eyes were shining with a tiny light, and he seemed to be very happy, well-behaved, and obedient.

　　It seems that he really likes it.

　　These days, he asked many hunters to look for music-themed watches from major watch brands around the world, and he personally eliminated thousands of designs one by one and finally selected this one.

　　After buying it, he immediately asked the hunter to fly the watch back from Vienna. He spent double the money and energy. This smile was all worth it.

　　Gu Ye lifted up his sleeves and showed him: "I like this one too, so I bought two. Except for the symbols, it's similar to the one you brought."

　　Only then did Qiao Yang notice that he was wearing the same watch on his wrist.

　　The only difference is that the musical notation on the dial has been changed from g celf to f celf.

　　The two watches are placed together, and the high and low notes on the dial seem to form a whole chapter of music score - perfect.

　　"They look like a couple."

　　Qiao Yang said carelessly.

　　He didn't think about anything, he just felt happy.

　　Then he stretched out the hand with the watch, made a fist touched Gu Ye's hand, and said cheerfully: "We are good brothers, let's wear Brother music watches together."

　　Gu Ye laughs helplessly at his words of "good brother". At the same time, he was glad that Qiao Yang was free and easy and had no ulterior motives.

　He induced and asked him: "How about taking it with you when I go to your brother's wedding tomorrow? We are both best men, and the watches should match?"

　　Qiao Yang readily agreed: "Okay."

　　~

　　Qiao Zhen's wedding was held at a Qiao's resort hotel more than 300 kilometers away from S city.

　　This is the earliest and most famous leisure and entertainment resort for the wealthy developed by Joe's.

　　The resort is built on the mountainside due to the latitude and altitude. The temperature here is low all year round, covered with snow in winter and cool and pleasant in summer.

　　Therefore, various popular projects have been developed, such as spring outings to enjoy flowers, summer summer vacations, mountain climbing in autumn, and winter skiing entertainment.

　　Coupled with Qiao's brand effect, the resort has a hot tourist base all year round, and many couples want to have a luxurious wedding here.

　　Of course, there is another important reason why Qiao Zhen and the others want to hold their wedding here.

　　Qiao Zhen met Liang Yuqian when he came here for summer vacation when he was a child, and the two spent a pleasant summer vacation together. That year was also the beginning of their love journey.

　　Therefore, ending the love journey here and entering into marriage is of great romantic significance to the two of them.

　　The guests attending the wedding of Vice President Qiao included many political and business figures. For safety reasons, the entire resort has not received guests since three days ago.

　　In addition to the security team strictly guarding the area, even the road up the mountain was blocked a few days ago.

　　Qiao Yang took Mo Yu and the Qiao family to the resort early in the morning by helicopter.

　　After getting off the helicopter, he was deeply attracted by the natural beauty surrounded by mountains.

　　The white mist rising from the top of the mountain in the distance connects with the clouds in the sky, making it look like a fairyland.

　　A large number of rhododendrons were blooming on the nearby hillside. After the sound of the helicopter gradually stopped, the sound of the waterfall and the rushing water of the river was heard.

　　The natural scenery combined with artificial modification is so beautiful that it makes people feel happy.

　　The air in the mountains is fresh and moist. When you take a deep breath, it seems that all the turbid air in the body can be eliminated, making the whole body feel comfortable.

　　Qiao Yang couldn't help but look around and sighed: "This scenery is so beautiful, can I stay here for a few more days?"

　　Qiao Jin: "Anyway, you are the most free in our house right now. You can stay here as long as you want."

　　Qiao Tiancheng: "When I brought you here when I was a kid, I didn't see you like the scenery here. You were always noisy and bored. But now you like it?"

　　Qiao Yang chuckled.

　　Qiao Zhen is the most responsible: "Don't worry about playing, go back to your room to clean up, and then go to the gate to receive the guests immediately."

　　Qiao Jin clicked his tongue: "I am so anxious about my marriage. Men who are about to start a family are different."

　　Qiao Zhen: "You are still poor. Be careful that I won't care about you when you get married."

　　Qiao Tiancheng: "Stop making trouble. Mo Yu is still here, and he's not afraid of people laughing at him."

　　Mo Yu was walking beside Qiao Yang, carrying a guitar that was half a person's height. He shook his head hurriedly: "It's okay, I'm okay. You don't need to pay attention to me when you talk."

　　Qiao Jin turned to look over and asked, "Is this an acoustic guitar? Can you play it for me later?"

　　Mo Yu was about to answer: OK.

　　Qiao Zhen said fiercely to Qiao Jin: "What kind of guitar are you listening to? Don't forget your work. Come and work for me later!"

　　The wedding ceremony is tomorrow, and the guests coming today are either relatives of the Qiao family and the Liang family, the bridesmaids and bridesmaids, or guests and family members from far away.

　　Qiao Yang and Qiao Tiancheng were dressed in formal clothes and enthusiastically received group after group of guests.

　　Because the original owner lived abroad for four years, most of the guests were not very familiar with Qiao Yang.

　　They half-compliment, half-praise:

　　"Hey, this is the third youngest of the Qiao family. The young man is really good."

　　"How old are you now? What do you do?"

　　"How the Qiao family raises sons. Each one is more handsome than the other and all of them are capable. It's really enviable."

　　…

　　Among them were many young people similar to Qiao Yang's age. They naturally gathered together and exchanged contact information with each other.

　　Take advantage of this opportunity to increase your network and accumulate friends in your circle. After a while, Qiao Yang had more than a dozen new contacts on his phone.

　　The sound of another helicopter landing sounded in mid-air, it was Qin Man coming.

　　Surrounded by her bodyguards and life assistants, she approached.

　　The tall young girl was wearing a light blue dress, with a beautiful face and a slight smile under her long hair.

　　The whole person looks elegant and cute.

　　The aura of the eldest lady of the Qin family immediately attracted the attention of guests.

　　The young men and women were eager to talk, and they even wanted to get the contact information of the eldest lady of the Qin family.

　　Qin Man didn't pay attention to those people. She went straight up to Qiao Tiancheng and said hello: "Hello, Uncle Qiao."

　　Qiao Tiancheng asked with a loving smile: "Manman came alone, where are your parents?"

　　Qin Man laughed: "Didn't I come early for Brother Qiao and Sister Qianqian's pre-wedding practice tomorrow? My parents will come over tomorrow morning."

　　She then pulled Qiao Yang carelessly and asked, "Which room should I stay in tonight? Do the best man and bridesmaid all have the same room?"

　　Seeing that the two of them had a good relationship, Qiao Tiancheng said, "Okay, third brother, you lead Manman back to the guest room first."

　　Qiao Yang greeted her and called Sister Qin Man, "We don't live in the same room. Come on, come this way."

　　Under the curious, knowledge-seeking, and inquiring gazes of the crowd, the two of them headed inside the hotel.

　　The guest rooms were assigned by Qiao Tiancheng and Qiao Zhen's assistants a long time ago, and their own staff will take the guests to check in according to the rooms designated on the list.

　　Qiao Yang was just accompanying him.

　　The rooms provided to guests are all the best, especially distinguished guests.

　　The eldest daughter of the Qin family is arranged in room 1007, which is an independent and spacious luxury suite.

　　There are mostly auxiliary bedrooms, which are more than enough to accommodate the few bodyguards and assistants she brought with her.

Because of the topography of the hotel, even on the first floor, you can see the distant mountain scenery outside. The most important thing is that this room has its own garden outside, and there is also a separate outdoor hot spring in the garden.

　　You can enjoy the vast and majestic mountain scenery while soaking in the hot springs.

　　Qin Man was very satisfied with her room. She asked Qiao Yang, "Where do you live? I'll go and play with you after you finish your work."

　　Qiao Yang smiled and said: "I'm on the third floor, far away from you. But it doesn't matter. We have a ceremony rehearsal tonight and a bonfire dinner. There are many opportunities to play together."

　　Qin Man: "Okay, then you go and get busy. Your resort hotel is amazing. I want to take a walk around first."

　　After making arrangements for Qin Man, Qiao Yang came to the gate again to receive guests.

　　Just in time to welcome the most important guests of the wedding - the Liang family.

　　The two families who were about to become in-laws chatted enthusiastically, and the gate suddenly became lively.

　　Qiao Tiancheng talked to the elders, while Qiao Zhen dealt with Liang Yuqian's family and friends. Qiao Jin arranged their rooms one by one.

　　Liang Wei was also inside, and he was walking with a slight limp.

　　The buddy next to him who belonged to their group asked him: "Hey, Brother Liang, what's wrong with your legs? Isn't it healed last time when Boss Qiao kicked the table and hit you?"

　　Liang Wei glared at him: "What the hell!"

　　His leg was hit hard by his grandfather with a cane before he came in the morning.

　　He also warned him: "These two days are your cousin's wedding. If you dare to cause trouble at the wedding, I won't forgive you!"

　　He didn't do anything and he was beaten first. he felt so wronged!

　　Recently, because Qiao Yang didn't play with them and there was no one to tease, everyone started to laugh at him.

　　Liang Weicai couldn't stand this cowardice. Thinking that Qiao Yang must make a fool of himself to regain some face.

　　He also heard that Qiao Yang had been kicked out of the Qiao family and the Qiao Group, and now he was living alone outside.

　　Liang Wei gloated: This is too tragic, hahaha.

　　Therefore, Qiao Yang must be holding back his anger. As long as he is provoked a little, he will definitely explode at the wedding and cause a scene.

　　Liang Wei secretly made a small calculation in his heart. When he saw Qiao Yang coming over, his eyes immediately lit up.

　　He had yellow hair on his head, waved his arm with a gold Rolex, and shouted with an open voice: "Master Qiao, Qiao Yang! You are here!"

　　"Come here! Come here, let's get together and have a drink after not seeing each other for so long."

　　Naturally, there were his friends beside him who were cheering, and these few people instantly became the most eye-catching presence in front of the wide grand hall.

　　Guests were attending the wedding all around, and Liang Wei was the cousin of the soon-to-be sister-in-law. On such an occasion, the Qiao family cannot do anything rude.

　　Qiao Tiancheng, Qiao Zhen, and the others were dealing with the guests around them with polite smiles on their faces, unable to get away.

　　But in his heart, he was vaguely worried that Liang Wei and Qiao Yang would get into trouble.

　　Qiao Yang sighed inwardly: Liang Wei still wants to play him as the original owner.

　　He smiled lightly under the eyes of all the guests and walked over, asking: "Brother Liang, I'm still busy at the moment, why don't you go back to your room and rest first?"

　　Liang Wei: "Hey, what can you do? Your eldest and second brothers are here. Let's go for a drink first."

　　After all, the two families wanted to become in-laws, and Liang Wei, who became his brother-in-law because of their relationship, felt confident.

　　He called to the young people: "Come on, brothers, let's go have a drink with Mr. Qiao first."

　　Then regardless of Qiao Yang's wishes, he dragged him inside, thinking: I'll get you drunk first.

　　Qiao Yang was dragged away by him, followed by a group of dandy boys. Some young guests for unknown reasons thought it was time to start having fun, so they also followed.

　　A large number of young people entered the hotel center.

　　When Liang Wei was dragging people away, suddenly a cold and deep voice came into his ears:

　　"You don't want the other leg either?"

　　He raised his head sharply and met Qiao Yang's red eyes with a faint smile.

　　There was a cold light in his eyes, and his sharp eyebrows carried a terrifying threat.

　　Then the arm that was holding Qiao Yang's arm was cut back hard by Qiao Yang, and Liang Wei's arm was twisted in a direction that could not be reversed.

　　He suddenly gasped in pain and his mind went blank.

　　Qiao Yang looked like he was joking, glanced at the young people around him with a smile, then looked at Liang Wei, and discussed in a calm tone:

　　"Brother Liang, I'm busy right now. How about we play again when we're free? Huh?"

　　The speech is slow and the ending sound is raised, as if discussing.

　　But only Liang Wei knew how heavy the force was on him.

　　He struggled and said, "Fuck, let go first."

　　Qiao Yang didn't let go, but pressed harder.

　　The voice was low and flat: "Wait a minute, come to me and let's have a good drink. Drink until... you don't want to drink anymore."

　　The smile in his eyes grew stronger, but the threat was even greater.

　　Liang Wei's face was twisted with pain in his arm, and he was sweating all over.

　　He stretched out his other hand to push Qiao Yang's hand away: "...Okay, let go first."

　　The voice was no longer arrogant, but still sounded like a request.

　　He didn't know how Qiao Yang could look so relaxed and joking, but still cause him so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to break free.

　　But the people around him couldn't tell that he was being restrained by Qiao Yang.

　　He also laughed and said that they were playing.

　　"Can."

　　Qiao Yang let go of his hand, chuckled, and patted the twisted arm twice, looking approachable: "Let's play for a while, brother."

　　After speaking, he waved to a waiter and ordered: "Take good care of Mr. Liang and the others."

　　Liang Wei took a breath of exhaustion and didn't understand why he was like this.

　　Qiao Yang's seemingly easy but powerful suppression left him passively suffering the pain, without the slightest ability to resist.

　　Moreover, it was his arms that were obviously twisted, but now his legs are weak and he is unsteady.

He stared at Qiao Yang blankly, and the handsome man gave him an indifferent smile.

　　Then he turned around and left, his tall and thin figure looking carefree and free.

　　Qiao Yang returned to the reception hall at the door. Qiao Tiancheng and the others looked at him from a distance, looking worried.

　　Qiao Yang walked over and explained to the guests and Qiao Tiancheng easily: "Dad, Mr. Liang and the others have made arrangements."

　　Qiao Tiancheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to him.

　　There was another sound of helicopters coming from above.

　　Someone shouted: "It's the Gu family's helicopter. Is Mr. Gu here?"

　　There was a sound of anticipation among the guests, and they looked outside eagerly. Waiting for Gu Ye's arrival.

　　Who wouldn't want to take this opportunity to make friends with the young CEO who leads the huge Gu Group?

　　Qiao Yang took a few steps outside, looked at the vast world surrounded by mountains, and smiled happily:

　　His good brother is coming!
