This cookie. . .
"Is it good?"
Gu Yechen finished the cookie and nodded his head calmly. He Xinyan's eyes lit up as she reached into the jar to try one herself. However, Gu Yechen immediately pulled the jar away and closed the lid, refusing to give her a cookie.
He Xinyan's smile disappeared, "Cookie?"
"No."
"I made them!"
"They are all mine. You gave them to me."
He Xinyan's mouth fell open in shock. He was Gu Yechen! Gu Yechen! He could get whatever food or cookie he wanted in this entire world, and he probably had enough money to buy all the cookies in the world.
Yet he refused to share even one cookie with her. . . And she made the cookies!
"Selfish! Selfish! So selfish!" He Xinyan crossed her arms together and looked away with her cheeks puffed out angrily.
Gu Yechen looked at the large jar of cookies and smiled. How could he possibly give away her first gift to him?
There was a knock on the door and Chen Xiao walked in with a pile of folders in his hands. His eyes landed on the jar of cookies but he didn't say or ask anything.
Gu Yechen noticed Chen Xiao and he leaned back on the couch, crossing his legs comfortably, "Chen Xiao, is the job done?"
"Yes, Mr. Gu. Everything is ready."
He Xinyan's ears perked up curiously but she had no clue what they were talking about so she went back to being mad. Her cookies! She had spent the entire morning making them and she didn't even get to taste them. . . And he said they tasted good!
Gu Yechen took a quick look at the document in Chen Xiao's hands before telling him to leave. After Chen Xiao had left the room, He Xinyan also stood up, "Well, since my job here is done, I'm leaving."

Gu Yechen suppressed the urge to say 'already?' as he also got up from the couch. He placed the glass jar onto the table and He Xinyan looked at it longingly before marching out the room.
He Xinyan entered the elevator and disappeared, leaving a sad and lonely Gu Yechen in his huge office.
A few minutes after He Xinyan had left, the elevator door opened again and a cheerful and handsome man walked out.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Gu."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Gu." The assistants walking around the top floor greeted the smiling man and he waved back at them.
The man was tall and had a strong build, and even with sunglasses on, it was easy to tell that he was extremely handsome.
He skipped up the stairs and stopped in front of the door. He scanned his fingerprint and swung the doors open.
"I'm here! Your almighty younger brother is here! Welcome! Welcome!" The man took off his sunglasses and revealed a stunning face. His features were very defined and they looked similar to Gu Yechen, except for the fact that he looked much more cheerful and cute.
Gu Yechen didn't even bother to look up and acknowledge his stupid brother as he continued to read the document on his screen.
Gu Yebei was obviously used to his brother's cold personality, as he wasn't angry at all by Gu Yechen's reaction. He closed the door and jumped onto the couch.
"Mom and dad said that we should go home and eat today."
". . ." No reaction.
Gu Yebei licked his lips and walked over to Gu Yechen's desk, sitting down casually in the chair across from him.
His eyes landed on a jar of cookies on the table and a smile crept up his face, "Older brother. . . You're the best! Ah, you act all cold and aloof on the outside, but I know you still love me, your only brother."

"You're overthinking."
Gu Yebei picked up the jar of cookies and opened it, "Then why did you prepare food for me! You know my agent doesn't allow me to eat sweets, so you bought cookies for me. I know, I know. . . I know you love me."
Before Gu Yechen could stop him, Gu Yebei had already popped a cookie into his mouth and was chewing happily.
The temperature in the room fell as Gu Yechen's expression darkened. Before he could get mad, however, Gu Yebei scrunched his face up.
He pulled out the trash can under the desk and spit out the cookie, "What is this?! It tastes disgusting! Is this even a cookie? Are you trying to poison me?! I thought too highly of you. I should have guessed, how could you possibly be kind enough to prepare cookies for me! You're trying to poison me!"
Gu Yechen snatched the cookie jar away and closed it before putting it into a drawer nearby.
"I never told you to eat them."
Gu Yebei looked up and thought for a second before nodding his head. So Gu Yechen wasn't trying to poison him. . .
"Anyway, where did you get those cookies? They taste disgusting! You should sue the shop you bought it from."
Gu Yechen looked up at his brother and frowned, "My girlfriend made them for me."
Crash!
Gu Yebei fell off his chair.
"Girlfriend?!" Gu Yebei held onto his stomach as he rolled around on the ground laughing, "Stop lying to me! Out of everyone in the world, you are the least likely to get a girlfriend. You are the type to stay single for life!"
Gu Yechen's expression darkened as he thought about kicking his brother out of the room. When there was no response, Gu Yebei slowly stopped laughing and he jumped back up.
"You're joking, right?"
There was still no response. Gu Yebei pressed a button on the table and a second later, Chen Xiao walked into the office.
"Chen Xiao! Does my brother have a girlfriend?"
"Yes sir."
The room fell silent as Gu Yebei's brain slowly registered Chen Xiao's answer.
"No way. . ." Gu Yebei fell back onto the chair and gulped, "My brother got a girlfriend before me. . ."
The sound of typing filled the room again as Gu Yechen focused back on his work.
"Who is it? Who?" Gu Yebei leaned forward, his eyes full of curiosity and excitement. However, before Gu Yechen could respond, Gu Yebei gasped in surprise and his eyes widened.
"Is it. . . Is it that girl? The news? He Xinyan!"
