The Real Young Master Wants To Get Married First When He Returns Home Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Brother, Give Me a Kiss

Gu Yunzhao was stunned by the kiss.

He felt a warm, soft, and moist sensation suddenly land on his cheek, accompanied by a faint, delicate fragrance. It was as if a soft spring breeze had blown both petals and their scent right into his arms.

Before he could react or savor the feeling, the source of that fragrance had already pulled away. Shen Li sat back down properly and began to feast on the cake with gusto.

Gu Yunzhao was left there, his hand pressing against the cheek that had just been kissed. He remained in a slight daze, reminiscing about the lingering warmth that had arrived and vanished in an instant.

Was that… a kiss? Did Shen Li truly like him that much, taking every possible opportunity to get close to him?

Gu Yunzhao couldnt help but stare at Shen Li, lost in thought.

Do you… want some? Shen Li blinked and held up his fork.

Hmm, if he gave away half the cake, there wouldnt be much left. Maybe a quarter. Shen Li estimated the size of the cake in his mind, feeling a sharp pang of stinginess. But then he remembered that Gu Yunzhao was his benefactor. Adhering to the professional ethics of pleasing ones patron, he decided to be generous.

Besides, Gu Yunzhao was the one who bought the cake anyway. Using the mans own gift to curry favor with him was essentially getting something for nothing, so it wasnt a bad deal.

Here. Shen Li poked a small piece of cake and held it to Gu Yunzhaos lips. Brother, have some.

From Gu Yunzhaos perspective, Shen Lis eyes were clear and bright. His fingertips showed a faint, healthy pink hue as he held the black fork, offering a combination of strawberry and cream to his lips.

As if possessed, Gu Yunzhao leaned in and ate the small piece of cake from his hand.

Is it good, Brother?

In truth, he did not like sweets, especially something as visibly sugary as cake and cream. But looking into Shen Lis expectant eyes, he found himself unable to say he disliked it.

The sweetness spread from the tip of his tongue to his teeth, filling his entire mouth with a soft, sugary aroma.

He tasted it carefully and said seriously, It is good.

Thats great then. Shen Lis eyes curved into happy crescents. Brother, do you want more?

You eat it.

Okay!

Shen Li turned back and threw himself into the grand mission of finishing the cake.

Wow, Shen Li thought as he chewed vigorously. This place really lives up to its reputation as an internet-famous shop. High-popularity cakes that manage to become viral hits arent just about looks and marketing; the taste was truly excellent.

The fluffy cake base wasnt overly sweet, possessing just a hint of sugar. What left a deeper impression was its melt-in-the-mouth softness. The outer layer of cream was likely pure animal cream, as it didnt feel greasy even with such a thick coating. It was perfectly paired with the ring of fresh fruit and the sprinkled nut crumbles.

It was soft and airy without being cloying.

Shen Li ate with a beaming face, the irritation he had felt at the Shen family home long since vanishing into thin air.

Internet-famous cakes were quite small. Even though Shen Li took small bites to savor it, the cake was gone before they even reached home.

Shen Li used the fork to scrape every last bit of cream off the plate. The packaging box was scraped so clean it looked brand new.

Its gone… Shen Li bit his fork with a hint of regret.

Do you like it that much? Gu Yunzhao had no appetite for sweets, so he couldnt quite understand Shen Lis current sense of loss.

Shen Li nodded vigorously. Its delicious, super delicious, incredibly delicious!

This was definitely the best cake he had ever eaten. It was so good that he was already planning to sneak out and wait in line to buy a whole row of them for himself once Gu Yunzhao went to work.

Do you want more? Gu Yunzhao held his tablet with one hand and reached out with the other to wipe a smudge of cream from Shen Lis face. Did you bring a tissue? Wipe yourself.

I didnt. Shen Li blinked, suddenly remembering the hundred ways to handle Gu Yunzhao that Zhao Yingying and Xu Cheng had mentioned.

His eyes darted around as an idea formed in his mind.

CEO novels made it very clear: when to act spoiled and when to seduce.

Now was the perfect time.

Shen Li lowered his head and opened his mouth, licking away the bit of cream stuck to Gu Yunzhaos fingertip.

First, his soft tongue swiped across the fingertip, then his warm mouth enveloped the finger entirely. His moist, soft philtrum pressed right against the pad of the finger, feeling like a tiny red bean or a pearl.

Mmph, isnt it better just to eat it? Shen Lis mouth was full, making his words muffled. As he spoke, his teeth lightly grazed the finger inside his mouth.

Gu Yunzhao felt as if his fingertip had been hit by static electricity—a slight sting followed by a wave of numbness.

It lasted only a lingering moment. Once the cream was licked clean, Shen Li released the finger. His tongue swept over his pale red lips as if savoring the last bit of sweetness.

He smiled with pure, well-behaved innocence, his voice softening as he spoke to Gu Yunzhao. Brother, you shouldn’t waste food.

Gu Yunzhao rubbed his fingertip, feeling the damp, sticky sensation of saliva left behind.

He could tell. Shen Li was seducing him.

However, he did not intend to take the bait.

Shen Li was too young. Gu Yunzhao appreciated his clean beauty, but he felt no lust toward him, and naturally had no desire to take him to bed.

To him, Shen Li was like a beautiful kitten or a lovely flower. He felt a sense of control and possessiveness over him, but only a little—the kind one felt for a pet.

Gu Yunzhao turned slightly, withdrawing his hand and resting it on his knee.

Shen Li was too young, he thought. The word love was far too inappropriate for someone of Shen Lis age.

Ill bring you another one tomorrow, Gu Yunzhao said nonchalantly. Its not far from Shengnan. Ill stop by on my way home from work.

It was just a piece of cake. He would simply have his assistant wait in line tomorrow. Fulfilling a childs small wish was no big deal; it was just a convenient gesture.

But Shen Li lunged into his arms again like a charging boar.

Brother, you are the best person in the whole world! I love you!

Shen Li was truly happy. In his heart, his rating of Gu Yunzhao jumped up several points. A good man, a truly great man.

Shen Lis logic was very simple.

The Shen family insulted him and forced him to do things he didnt want to do, so they were bad people.

But Gu Yunzhao bought him food and was nice to him, so he was the best person in the world.

Even if Gu Yunzhao didnt truly like him and only liked his face.

That didnt stop Shen Li from thinking he was a good person.

Its not like only people who love me can be good, Shen Li thought happily. He doesnt even want to sleep with me and hes still nice to me. Now thats a good person.

He could grow thorns against bad people, always ready to scratch them. But for good people, he only wanted to lean in for a rub and roll over to show his belly.

He even threw the hundred ways to handle Gu Yunzhao to the back of his mind. He just wanted to snuggle and hug this good person.

Maintaining his position huddled in the mans arms, Shen Li pulled out his phone and gleefully showed Gu Yunzhao the game they had been working on for so long.

A game, he emphasized. They made it independently. He had personally completed most of the models and data.

Shen Li lifted his head with a bit of pride, his eyes sparkling as he waited for Gu Yunzhao to praise him.

How impressive, Gu Yunzhao said in a gentle voice. His hand, which had been resting on the tablet, silently moved to stroke the back of Shen Lis neck. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I almost would have forgotten. The pure and sweet female streamer, Xiao Li? Hmm?
