The Real Young Master Wants To Get Married First When He Returns Home Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Good Looking but Useless?

What a coincidence. Gu Yunzhao, standing outside the door, was also thinking that he needed to have a good talk with Shen Li about today’s events.

Shen Li was truly fuming. For a moment, he had completely forgotten to maintain the persona he had carefully crafted in front of Gu Yunzhao.

However, after sitting in the room for a while, feelings of annoyance and regret began to well up in his heart.

Shen Li sat on the edge of the bed, clutching his head in deep remorse. Why couldn’t he have held back? One wrong move had created a lifetime of regret. Novels only taught female leads how to be gentle and sweet to fall in love with a CEO; no one had ever taught him how to continue a relationship with a CEO after just beating him up.

Sigh!

A knock sounded at the door, followed by Gu Yunzhao’s voice, its tone unreadable. Shen Li, come out. Don’t force me to open the door and drag you out myself.

No, no, no, no, no! Shen Li trembled. He hadn’t figured out how to bluff his way through this yet. If he were caught now, he would only offend Gu Yunzhao further. Brother! Brother! Give me five minutes! Just five more minutes! I—I—I’ll be right there!

Fine. Outside the door, Gu Yunzhao seemed to let out a soft chuckle as he agreed to Shen Li’s request.

Feeling the silk sheets beneath him, Shen Li felt like crying a river. The wealthy life he had only enjoyed for a couple of days was likely about to be kicked away by that single foot of his.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have been so impulsive. It was just a few hits; he could have gritted his teeth and endured it. However, regarding the special hobby Xu Cheng mentioned Gu Yunzhao having, Shen Li now understood what it was.

Who on earth liked acting like someone’s father this much? It wasn’t like he was too old to have children of his own…

Shen Li really couldn’t think of a way to suck up to him, so he could only apply for outside help. He scrambled to find his phone and called the small three-person group chat, dialing Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng: Hello, hello? Moshi moshi?

Stop with the moshi moshi, I have an emergency. With a five-minute countdown hanging over his head, Shen Li didn’t want to waste a single word. Even though there was no one else in the room, the thought that Gu Yunzhao might be right outside made him instinctively lower his voice. How much do you know about Gu Yunzhao? Tell me everything, especially how to please him and what he hates.

Xu Cheng snapped his gossip notebook shut. I’m a gossiper, not a private investigator. If I knew how to please Gu Yunzhao, I would have done it long ago to beg for investment. Why would I be sharing that with you?

How can you be so useless? Shen Li rolled his eyes at the screen. Nothing at all?

I really don’t have anything, Xu Cheng said helplessly. My mom mentioned it during a gossip session before. You can’t please him with money or power; he already has those. Beauty is even more useless. Gu Yunzhao lives like a monk out there. No matter how beautiful the person sent to him is, he throws them out. Privately, people suspect he’s… impotent. You tell me, what other options are left?

Is he really non-functional? A silver-plated pewter spearhead… Shen Li muttered to himself. Recalling the smooth muscle lines of Gu Yunzhao’s upper body he had seen earlier, he became a bit more convinced of the rumor that gym rats were sometimes useless.

Anyway, just so you know, Xu Cheng was crunching on an apple on the other end. It’s just hearsay. After all, Gu Yunzhao has never been rumored to be in a relationship. There’s no chance to find an ex to ask about his technique or duration.

He hasn’t dated a single person in all these years? Shen Li hadn’t expected Gu Yunzhao to be a CEO who still had his first love intact.

Yeah, Xu Cheng continued crunching. So many people want to please him, and plenty want to gift him a wife. But Gu Yunzhao himself has never relented. Those who want to climb the ladder through the Gu family usually end up marrying into the lower branches. However, it’s not ruled out that he doesn’t get married because he’s impotent.

Tsk, I knew those bastards in the Shen family wouldn’t give me a free lunch for nothing, Shen Li clicked his tongue, his tone dissatisfied. I thought they were sending me a wealthy man to cling to, but it turns out he’s an impotent guy with a special hobby. No wonder someone with his looks and background needs to force people to send him their sons.

It was just a bit of a pity for Gu Yunzhao’s physique and handsome face. Shen Li lamented in his heart. Such a good-looking man, but the software couldn’t keep up with the hardware. What a waste.

Shen Li felt he might have uncovered a huge secret, and his feelings toward Gu Yunzhao gained a touch of pity. It seemed this kind of illness was truly hard to cure; even someone as rich and powerful as Gu Yunzhao couldn’t fix it.

Why the sudden interest in him? Xu Cheng finally finished his apple. Oh right, you said your family arranged a new husband for you. Who is he? I forgot to ask you at school.

Gu Yunzhao, Shen Li answered honestly.

I know we’re gossiping about him, I’m asking who your new husband is. Xu Cheng didn’t know why Shen Li was bringing up the subject of their gossip again.

Shen Li: It is Gu Yunzhao. He’s my new guardian.

Huh? It was Xu Cheng’s turn to be stunned. Gu Yunzhao is your fiancé?

Yes, Gu Yunzhao, my fiancé.

Xu Cheng thought back to the gossip they had just finished. He gasped. Gu Yunzhao… is really impotent?

Um… Shen Li’s words were vague. Anyway, just don’t tell anyone.

I’ll try. Xu Cheng swallowed hard. Gossiping was one thing, but having the fiancé confirm that Gu Yunzhao was truly non-functional was something he hadn’t expected at all.

Then what are you going to do in the future? After the gossip, Xu Cheng remembered his good friend’s lifelong happiness.

I don’t know. Shen Li seemed to be missing a gear when it came to love and romance; he didn’t understand it at all. Gu Yunzhao was so rich that he was perfectly willing to marry him, but what about after the marriage?

The CEO novels didn’t teach that.

Xu Cheng was also someone with a missing gear in the romance department. The two of them together were truly a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

For a moment, the phone fell silent.

Are you two just staying on the line to count each other’s breaths? Zhao Yingying finally joined the call. I just got home and saw your group call. Why is no one talking?

Sigh, we’re mourning Brother Shen’s major life event. Xu Cheng bit off a chocolate stick and quickly summarized their previous conversation in a few sentences. This included, but was not limited to, Shen Li and Gu Yunzhao’s marriage and their deduction that Gu Yunzhao was good-looking but useless.

Zhao Yingying looked thoughtful. So, Shen Li is going to marry a useless husband.

That’s pretty much it, Xu Cheng said.

Hey, hey, hey, he’s not that useless. Thinking of Gu Yunzhao’s Black Card, Shen Li couldn’t help but defend his husband a little. At least he’s very good at making money.

Zhao Yingying stroked her chin. So what are you two planning to discuss now?

I don’t know, Xu Cheng said, still crunching. Brother Shen came in, dropped a bombshell, and then went silent. How should I know what he wants to do?

Oh, oh, oh, I almost forgot the main point. Shen Li only remembered what he was supposed to be doing after Zhao Yingying asked. How do I please Gu Yunzhao after I’ve just offended him terribly? It’s urgent.

What did you do? Zhao Yingying asked him.

I kicked him down there, Shen Li answered honestly. I jumped up and kicked him.

The two people on the phone gasped simultaneously, feeling a phantom pain in their own lower bodies. They even felt a sliver of sympathy for Gu Yunzhao. To be impotent and then get kicked down there by his fiancé—what a miserable man.
