“It’s your turn.” Someone reminded Su Shiqing.

Su Shiqing finished up his makeup. He wore a white shirt and trousers, his hair was slightly curled, and he had on light brown colored contact lenses. He nodded awkwardly, and walked in front of the camera.

He had never studied acting, and attending this kind of reality show was because it was the best entertainment resource that CEO Li could give him.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

After all, it could be said that Feng Anyan had blacklisted him and couldn’t appear on TV. He could only act in online dramas or appear in online reality shows.

He thought for a long time, and finally chose a reality show.

In the crew, his seat was very awkward, because he was the only one who came in through the back door. (TN: connections)

Almost everyone knew that his benefactor was Li Zhao. Su Shiqing felt ashamed and couldn’t hold his head up. Sometimes when Li Zhao came to visit the set, he didn’t dare to let Li Zhao appear in everyone’s sight.

Li Zhao also laughed at him, saying that he “lead the life of a whore but still want a monument put up to one’s chastity”.

Su Shiqing was infuriated, but in front of Li Zhao, he still had to be humble, pretending that he didn’t hear anything.

Just how many tears had been held back only he himself knew.

In this episode of the show, he was targeted by the crew once again.

While crying, Su Shiqing called Qin Yue.

He regretted it, and he wanted to go back.

Even if Qin Yue yelled at him every day, it would be easier than his current life.

In his eyes, everyone would abandon him, but Qin Yue would not. So long as he called, Qin Yue would definitely accept him back again.

He was so miserable, Qin Yue would definitely not refuse.

Back in the hotel room, Su Shiqing called Qin Yue.

He had even prepared what to say to Qin Yue.

It was just that after the call connected, the voice of the person who answered was the wrong person.

It was not Qin Yue’s voice at all, but a younger and clearer voice. The person on the other end of the line said: “I’m sorry, Brother Qin is taking a shower. If you need anything, just send a text message, or you can call him later.”

Su Shiqing opened his mouth, but felt that he had suddenly gone mute. After a few seconds, he asked, “You, who are you? What’s your relationship with Qin Yue?”

Zheng Xiao on the other end of the line also felt very strange. This number was an unfamiliar number. He basically knew everyone around Qin Yue. Although he was not familiar with them, he at least remembered their voices. He had a very good memory and for Qin Yue he went to the effort to memorize everything about Qin yue, including Qin Yue’s friend’s information.

Zheng Xiao thought for a while and said, “Brother Qin and I are friends.”

Su Shiqing’s voice was very cold: “Boyfriend?”

Zheng Xiao also keenly noticed something was wrong. He knew that Qin Yue had an ex-boyfriend, but he had already broken up with Qin Yue. Although he knew his position and knew that he was just a kept lover of Qin Yue, after getting along for such a long time, he had indeed become moved by Qin Yue. Once his feelings towards the other became real, his emotions could no longer be perfectly controlled as before.

“You are…..Mr. Su, right?” Zheng Xiao asked cautiously.

Su Shiqing was infuriated: “You know me? Since you know me, you should know my relationship with Qin Yue. What is your relationship with Qin Yue? Do you know that you are a third party now?”

Zheng Xiao interrupted him: “I know you and Brother Qin have already broken up. I only appeared after you two broke up, so I can’t be considered a third party. If you hurt Brother Qin’s heart, you should consciously stay away from Brother Qin, and don’t make it difficult for Brother Qin.”

“Difficult?” Su Shiqing felt that there might be something wrong with his ears, “What do you mean making it difficult for him? How am I making it difficult for him? How long have I been with Qin Yue, and how long have you been with Qin Yue? Do you think Qin Yue loves you very much?”

Zheng Xiao felt that this Mr. Su might have some brain problems, so he said with exasperation: “Mr. Su, if there is nothing else, it’s better for us not to continue talking about this.”

It just so happened that Qin Yue came out of the bathroom at this time, and Zheng Xiao said, “Brother Qin, a Mr. Su called you, but he still hasn’t hung up, do you want to say something to him?”

Standing at the door, Qin Yue pursed his lips and frowned, and said to Zheng Xiao, “Hang up the call.”

“In the future, if it is his call, just hang up.”

Zheng Xiao lowered his head, a smile on the corner of his mouth. He knew that Su Shiqing on the other end of the phone must have heard Qin Yue’s voice. He was just humiliating himself. He gave up on their relationship first but now he wanted to take it back again. Qin Yue was a person, not an item, so how could he do whatever he wanted?

Now the one standing beside Qin Yue was Zheng Xiao, not Su Shiqing. He was at the best position and would never give Su Shiqing a single chance.

It wasn’t until the phone was hung up that Su Shiqing raised his head in disbelief.

He heard what Qin Yue said.

What did Qin Yue mean? Qin Yue didn’t love him anymore?

No…..definitely not.

Qin Yue must have been bewitched by the man who answered the phone.

Su Shiqing gritted his teeth resentfully.

Why did people always tried to obstruct him from being with Qin Yue?

Before it was Shen Zhen, and now a newcomer appeared.

These people just couldn’t see him and Qin Yue getting along!

No! No! He couldn’t give up on Qin Yue! He had to see Qin Yue.

So long as the two of them spoke together and cleared up the misunderstanding, they would get back together and be together again.

Both he and Qin Yue were good people, and they would definitely have a happy ending.

After a few more years, they could even adopt a child. After all, Qin Yue wanted to inherit the Qin family. He could not be without an heir, but he could not give Qin Yue a child. However, they could adopt one and if they educated the child well, the child would not be worse than his own biological child.

Su Shiqing fantasized happily, and he made up his mind to find Qin Yue.

Since he wanted to find Qin Yue, he must meet Qin Yue face to face. He had to find a way to learn of Qin Yue’s itinerary.

——

“There’s a wedding banquet tonight? Why didn’t I know?” Shen Zhen was changing his clothes. He had just put on his pants, and his upper body was bare. His recent fitness training had finally paid off. Shen Zhen now not only regained his six-pack abs, it had also become firmer. No matter from any angle, he had an excellent good figure.

Qin Xing sat on the bed behind Shen Zhen, looking at Shen Zhen. He said with a smile: “It’s rare to attend a wedding banquet with me, are you displeased?”

The eldest young master of the Zhao family and the second young lady of the Zheng family had married. They got married just after finishing their studies and before they got married, they had barely even dated for a few days. It was just that the parents of both parties thought it was a good alliance, so the marriage was settled.

This was the case with marriage alliances in the upper class. No one cared whether the couple involved were in love or not, nor what kind of life they would live after marriage.

So long as it was good for the families on both sides.

Shen Zhen put on his shirt, tie, and suit jacket, and said, “I don’t even know them.”

The head of the Zhao family had a good relationship with Qin Xing. He could be regarded as an old friend. After all, the other party was over seventy and Qin Xing had to at least give some face.

Shen Zhen: “Should we give the gift money together or separately, and how much?”

Qin Xing said: “You are a junior, so you don’t need to pay too much for the gift, just put 880,000 yuan in the red envelope.”

Shen Zhen asked curiously: “How much did you prepare?”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “My gift is not money, it’s a business deal.”

Shen Zhen understood.

Shen Zhen sighed, and said with some regret: “We can’t hold a wedding of our own, can we? So we won’t be able to get back the gift money.”

It hurt his stingy heart to think about it.

Qin Xing had a smile on his face, and his tone was full of doting: “Do you want to hold a wedding?”

Shen Zhen thought for a while, and said to Qin Xing: “Actually, forget it, we’ll talk about it later when there’s time.”

Qin Xing didn’t say anymore either. After all, Shen Zhen was young and it was normal to be afraid of tying the knot so early.

They couldn’t get married in China, but they could get married abroad.

After both of them put on their suits, Shen Zhen stood beside Qin Xing and looked in the mirror. The two men in the mirror were tall and straight-backed, and they matched well no matter how one looked at them. Shen Zhen was inexplicably happy, a smile appearing on his lips.

The driver was already waiting downstairs. Shen Zhen and Qin Xing sat together. Shen Zhen asked, “Will we sit at the same table?”

Qin Xing said with a smile: “My table is full of old men. If you don’t find it boring, I have no objection.”

Shen Zhen: “Then it’s settled, I’ll sit with you.”

He didn’t like others flattering and praising him now, after hearing so many of that kind of thing it was inevitable that it would become tiresome.

Now no matter what occasion he went to or who he met, what others would say to him was always the same.

Most of them just wanted to have a share in his business.

He wanted to start a chain shopping mall before, but no one was optimistic about this project when he went out to socialize.

Now that he had money in his own hands, these people suddenly popped up.

With the funds being sufficient, Shen Zhen didn’t want to waste time with them anymore.

He was not afraid of this offending people. If he needed to seek cooperation next time, as long as there was profit, they would still follow the scent of money over.

Shen Zhen knew these people well.

In this circle, there were no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

Walking into the hotel, Shen Zhen saw a lot of familiar faces. This time the Zhao and Zheng families were making a marriage alliance, and everyone who could be invited was invited, and no one was absent. Shen Zhen and Qin Xing walked in, and people greeted them along the way. Their attitude was very friendly and almost ingratiating, they didn’t dare to praise Qin Xing, so they latched onto Shen Zhen and fiercely heaped praises on him. Shen Zhen was very numb from the praise, and felt that if what they said was true, no one in the world could compare to him.

“Uncle Qin, Brother Shen.” The newcomer was called Zhao Anrun. When he saw Qin Xing and Shen Zhen, he hastily greeted them. He was twenty-three years old this year, and had a baby face. He was wearing a pure white three piece suit with a red rose tucked into his breast pocket, and he had a smile on his face. The smile was perfectly measured, such that people couldn’t see through the mask to his true feelings.

Qin Xing said amaibly: “Congratulations, you now have a family of your own, so you should be more mature in doing things.”

Zhao Anrun smiled and said, “I will still have to trouble Uncle Qin to continue to take care of me in the future.”

Qin Xing: “Where’s your grandfather?”

Zhao Anrun quickly said, “Grandpa is talking to Grandpa Zhang and the others, and he is waiting for you.”

Qin Xing said: “I’ll go there first, no need to send me off.”

Zhao Anrun nodded obediently, and when Qin Xing left, the sweat on his forehead fell down.

He had never met Qin Xing alone, and every time he saw Qin Xing, he couldn’t help sweating nervously.

“Brother Shen.” Zhao Anrun approached Shen Zhen and asked in a low voice, “Uncle Qin is in a good mood today.”

Shen Zhen slapped him away: “Today’s your wedding, it’s not like Uncle Qin can show you a nasty attitude on your special day, right? If so, wouldn’t you end up crying?”

Zhao Anrun frowned and said, “I thought you wouldn’t come, I was quite worried.”

Shen Zhen: “Why did you think I wouldn’t come?”

Zhao Anrun said in a low voice: “Qin Yue is here, and he brought a companion, but it’s not Su Shiqing.”

Shen Zhen: “Qin Yue is here, so I can’t come?”

Zhao Anrun quickly said: “That’s not what I meant. Don’t you have a little conflict with him? I was just afraid you would feel uncomfortable.”

Shen Zhen patted Zhao Anrun on the shoulder: “Be more mature and sensible.”

Zhao Anrun touched the back of his head, but he didn’t find anything immature and insensible about him. He continued complaining to Shen Zhen: “My grandfather said that after I get married, I will be taking over the family affairs.”

Shen Zhen looked at him: “Isn’t this a good thing?”

In Zhao Anrun’s family, all three generations were single children, his grandfather had only his father, and his father only had him.

Thousands of hectares yield only a single seedling. His father died of lung cancer when he was forty years old, he was the only heir of the Zhao family, and he knew from birth that he would inherit the Zhao family in the end, so he started playing around when he was more than ten years old. He didn’t have to worry about anything, he just needed to wait for his grandfather to hand over the Zhao family to him.

Shen Zhen felt that if the Zhao family was really handed over to Zhao Anrun, their wealth probably wouldn’t be able to last for many years, and would be wasted away by Zhao Anrun sooner or later.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Zhao Anrun sighed, and said with a sad face: “I originally wanted to delay it for a few more years, but he forced me to get married.”

Shen Zhen: “Isn’t it good to get married?”

Zhao Anrun sighed: “Fei Fei has a bad temper, I never planned to marry her.”

Shen Zhen glanced at him: “You are already considered lucky.”

Qin Yue’s days were not good. He was originally a proud golden boy, no matter where he went, others would give him face. Because he was the heir of the Qin family, even the uncles who were the same generation as Qin Xing were very polite to him.

However, during this period of time, he really felt what it meant to taste warmth and coldness.

After losing his uncle’s favor, he finally understood that in the eyes of those old fritters, he was nothing but a rich second generation who had relied on the backing of the Qin family and his uncle.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He could not even compare to Qin Li. After all, Qin Li was still in charge of a branch company and he had real power in his hands.

But he had nothing.

His previous title was useless, and when he went out to socialize, only a few old friends remained around him.

Sometimes when he heard Shen Zhen’s name from other people’s mouths, he felt like a lifetime had passed.

He sat on the side and listened to his friends talking about Shen Zhen.

“Do you know how much the cheapest land he sold was?”

“A billion yuan.”

“I didn’t expect that piece of land to be sold at that price. Is that land buyer crazy?”

“Why is it that he gets to meet with all the good things.”

His friends all knew that Shen Zhen had a good relationship with Qin Yue before, but now seeing that they had no contact and not knowing the inside story, they asked Qin Yue: “You haven’t contacted Shen Zhen recently? Did you two have a fight? Don’t be so proud. You lower your head, talk to Shen Zhen, and warm up the relationship again. I see that he has good momentum now, maybe he can help you…..”

Qin Yue had calmed down a lot now, and he didn’t get angry so easily. He said to his friend: “When he sees me now, it’s already mild if he doesn’t hit me.”

Friend: “What? What outrageous thing have you done to offend him?”

Qin Yue said, “I can’t explain clearly.”

Friend: “What? Is it because of that surnamed Su?”

As soon as the words “surnamed Su” came out, his friend spat repeatedly.

The few of them all knew that Su Shiqing was now hooked up with the boss of a film and television company who already has a family, practically a male mistress now. In short, they didn’t want Qin Yue to know, after all, it had been quite hard for Qin Yue to recover from the hurt.

After all, after being friends for so many years, apart from benefits, there was still friendship.

Some time ago, when Qin Yue was jilted, his whole person looked as if he had lost his soul. He dragged them to drink with him every day, and drank all night long. He drank so much that he could vomit all his bile by the side of the road, so his friends persuaded him. So long as he wanted, a bunch of people would be willing to throw themselves at him with just a wave of his hand, who were even better than Su Shiqing in terms of looks and body, and he really didn’t need to hang himself to death on Su Shiqing.

Once, don’t know who was so blind, actually even mentioned Shen Zhen.

“I think Su Shiqing is much lacking compared to Shen Zhen. What were you thinking at the time?”

Then Qin Yue grabbed the other and started a fight as if he had taken the wrong medicine.

And it was only during this time that he had become in better shape, at least he wouldn’t go out to drink all night, nor force his friends to accompany him to drink away his worries.

Naturally, his friends would not reveal Su Shiqing’s current situation.

They used to say that Su Shiqing was with him for Qin Yue’s money and status.

Qin Yue didn’t believe it, and said they were just talking nonsense, with no real basis at all.

They themselves were dubious, and felt that Su Shiqing’s feelings for Qin Yue were not pure, but Qin Yue himself didn’t care about it, so if they said anymore, it was just meddling in others’ business.

But now, Su Shiqing had hooked up with an old and ugly married man.

Qin Yue’s friends felt that they now saw Su Shiqing’s face clearly, so they all looked at Qin Yue with a clear sense of pity.

Qin Yue looked at his friend, saw that he was hesitant to speak, and asked strangely: “What’s the matter? What do you want to say, just say it.”

The friend had been holding back the words, and finally couldn’t hold back anymore.

“Do you know Li Zhao?” The friend sat next to Qin Yue and said excitedly.

Qin Yue didn’t know him: “Who? I haven’t heard of him.”

The friend pretended to be mysterious and said, “Guess what.”

Qin Yue: “…..”

The friend sighed: “You are still so boring, Li Zhao is the boss of Jinhui Entertainment.”

Qin Yue said strangely: “I never thought about doing business in the entertainment industry.”

Friend: “Looks like I have to make it clear for you to understand. Li Zhao has recently signed a newcomer, and he has put a lot of effort into promoting him. You probably can’t guess who he is promoting.”

Qin Yue: “Does it have something to do with me?”

The friend laughed and said, “It has something to do with you.”

Qin Yue turned to look at him: “What exactly do you want to say? Just say it.”

The friend said helplessly, “Su Shiqing.”

Qin Yue’s expression was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to himself: “Maybe he has talent in this area.”

The friend was dumbfounded: “Qin Yue, no way? Is something wrong with your brain?”

As he spoke, the friend reached out to feel the temperature of Qin Yue’s forehead.

Qin Yue swatted his hand away impatiently: “You mean to say that he slept his way up?”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Yue said again: “Impossible.”

He knew Su Shiqing well, and he knew that it was impossible for Su Shiqing to have sex with others for profit…..

Friend: “Qin Yue, do you still like him? You don’t know what kind of person he is?”

Qin Yue frowned.

The friend said: “Anyway, I’ve said everything I need to say. As a friend, this is the only thing I can do for you. It’s up to you to believe it or not.”

Qin Yue looked down at his phone.

He had been calling Su Shiqing before, but Su Shiqing never answered, and later blocked his number. If he insisted on looking for Su Shiqing, he would be able to find him, but he was also a little discouraged.

Qin Yue felt that he had never treated others as well as he had treated Su Shiqing in his life.

Even Shen Zhen, he had never treated him like this.

But Su Shiqing didn’t appreciate any of it. After being sad and upset for a while, Qin Yue felt as if…..it wasn’t a big deal after all.

Without Su Shiqing, he still had to live, pass his days, and find ways to get more power.

The friend suddenly grabbed Qin Yue’s shoulder: “Come along tonight?”

Qin Yue lowered his head. Su Shiqing had been gone for such a long time. He was a normal adult man, so he naturally had needs in that regard.

“Okay.” Qin Yue said to his friend.

The friend introduced to Qin Yue, a boy who just graduated from university. He had fair skin and was not tall, but he had a good figure. He had six-pack abs and two cute eye teeth when he smiled.

The friend whispered: “I haven’t even tried this one myself. He said this is his first time. I don’t know if it is true. Tell me after you try it.”

Qin Yue gave him an eyeroll.

That night, Qin Yue spent the night at his friend’s club.

The boy’s name was Zheng Xiao, he had a good temper, didn’t talk much, and had a sunny smile.

Qin Yue often went to look for him, and then he brought him out at his side directly, and let the boy live in the house he bought for Su Shiqing before.

From then on, Qin Yue didn’t go back to the Qin family manor very often, and basically lived outside.

Regarding the fact that Qin Yue had a new boyfriend, Shen Zhen only found out about it later, and it was a coincidence that he met him on the road.

It was rare for Shen Zhen to go out for shopping that day. He was going to buy a watch for Qin Xing, but he didn’t want his assistant to order it online, so he went shopping by himself.

He looked at the watches at the counter, and when he looked up, he saw Qin Yue leading someone in.

The first time Shen Zhen saw Zheng Xiao, he felt that this person was a replica of Su Shiqing, or a high-quality version, but the difference with Su Shiqing was that he knew how to advance and retreat.

“Shen Zhen.” Standing on the side, Qin Yue panicked for some reason after seeing Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Yue, then at the unfamiliar boy next to him, and said with a smile: “Long time no see, is this your boyfriend?”

Qin Yue was taken aback, not knowing how to introduce the other to Shen Zhen.

He couldn’t just say that this was his kept lover, right?

The boy was very polite, smiled and said, “My name is Zheng Xiao, what’s your name?”

Shen Zhen also smiled at him: “Just call me Brother Shen.”

Zheng Xiao called out sweetly: “Brother Shen.”

Shen Zhen: “It’s the first time meeting you, and I don’t know what you like, so go pick out a watch and treat it as a gift from me.”

Zheng Xiao looked up at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue’s expression was very complicated, but he still nodded at Zheng Xiao and said, “Go ahead, have them wrap up whatever you want.”

Zheng Xiao had never been in this kind of high-end watch shop. The cheapest watch here costs more than 100,000 yuan, let alone the limited editions. He also didn’t dare to pick an expensive one, choosing one that was around two hundred thousand.

Qin Yue looked at Shen Zhen and asked, “Why weren’t you so generous to Su Shiqing before?”

Shen Zhen was surprised and said: “I’m not generous enough? His clothes, shoes, watches, which one was not mine? Whatever he liked I gave him.”

Qin Yue: “Those were things you didn’t want anymore.”

Shen Zhen sneered: “If it wasn’t for him not being able to move his eyes away after seeing those things of mine, I wouldn’t have not wanted it anymore. You should be very clear about whether I am a nostalgic person or not.”

Qin Yue was stunned.

He remembered…..Shen Zhen was indeed a nostalgic person. Even if he didn’t use the things that had become too old or worn, he would keep them well, and occasionally take them out for re-maintenance. He had never seen him dislike the old things.

It was just that Su Shiqing said at the time that Shen Zhen always gave him things he didn’t want.

Qin Yue sighed, as if after breaking up, he finally had the thought to think about the past.

Shen Zhen said to him, “I think this one is pretty good, and he seems sensible too.”

It was as if Shen Zhen had forgotten about the fact that he and Qin Yue had a falling out.

If Shen Zhen didn’t mention it, of course Qin Yue wouldn’t mention it either.

They seem to be old friends who have been reunited after a long time. Although they were not very enthusiastic, they still gave each other face.

It was not like they could just quarrel and turn the world upside down as soon as they came face to face.

Zheng Xiao came over with a paper bag, and said to Shen Zhen, “Thank you, Brother Shen.”

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “It’s nothing, you two take your time.”

Qin Yue suddenly asked: “Are you here to buy a watch too? Don’t you have one already?”

He knew very well that Shen Zhen’s watch was a limited edition worldwide, and one couldn’t buy it even with money, and it was the most beautiful watch of that brand, with many watch collectors looking for it.

Shen Zhen still had a smile on his face: “It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Qin Yue was about to speak.

Shen Zhen said: “Meeting and saying hello is already the limit of what I can do.”

Qin Yue looked at Shen Zhen. After not seeing for such a long time, he couldn’t remember what state of mind he was in when he quarreled with Shen Zhen.

So Shen Zhen…..was actually such a mild person?

If you would like to show some ♡  then please consider supporting this translator! ლ(⌒εー)ლ

Shen Zhen was lying beside Qin Xing, and it was only at this time that he realized that Qin Xing had such a side to him, and that he was also hesitant in their relationship. Shen Zhen’s heart fell back in place for some reason, not hanging in the air like before. It was like Qin Xing stepped down from the altar and became a mortal.

This made Shen Zhen feel inexplicably at ease.

Shen Zhen consciously moved into Qin Xing’s embrace and hugged Qin Xing’s waist. Qin Xing had a standard male god physique, with wide shoulders and narrow waist, which looked good and felt good. Shen Zhen touched Qin Xing’s abdominal muscles, head resting on Qin Xing’s arm, his nose full of the scent of Qin Xing’s shower gel——maybe there was also his own scent, but he couldn’t smell it.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Qin Xing hugged Shen Zhen, his brows were still slightly furrowed.

Shen Zhen reached out to smooth Qin Xing’s brows, and kissed Qin Xing on the cheek.

Qin Xing finally had a smile on his face. Qin Xing didn’t often keep a stern face. He always smiled. Although he had several kinds of smiles, this was the first time Shen Zhen saw him completely expressionless. Shen Zhen whispered: “Is the Qin family okay recently?”

Qin Xing patted Shen Zhen on the back: “It’s nothing.”

Although he said it was nothing, there was still something to deal with, otherwise he wouldn’t have stayed in the Qin family manor for more than a week.

Qin Yue’s daring had grown, and his brain seemed to have returned as well.

At home, he was obedient and sensible, and he would not approach him when there was nothing important. Qin Xing’s perception of Qin Yue was quite complicated.

Although he killed Qin Yue once, at that time he was not as rational as he was now.

Seeing Qin Yue now, Qin Xing’s feelings were more of regret.

He had put so much energy into cultivating this child, and kept him by his side since he was a child, afraid that he would go astray.

When Qin Xing was not in power, he was not favored at home. Although he was the youngest among his brothers, he did not receive any preference. On the contrary, because his older brothers were all grown up, the elders did not have any ardent hopes for him. As for love? There wasn’t any either, believing that boys must grow up under hard discipline.

Later, his parents passed away in an accident, and he was sent abroad. When he went, other than money, he had nothing.

There were no relatives or friends abroad, and the Qin family was already on the decline at that time. The business world was changing rapidly, today one could be smooth sailing, but tomorrow everyone could step on the Qin family’s face.

What kind of life was he living abroad? Qin Xing thought about it carefully. In fact, the situation at that time was not too bad. After all, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the Qin family still had a bit of foundation. He learned to trade in stocks first while abroad, and then invested, never having had a chance to relax.

After several years, his elder brother died, and none of the Qin family brothers could hold up the family business.

So the elders called him back.

It could be considered taking up post at the most difficult time. Qin Xing was only sixteen years old at the time, and he had a big temper. He felt that they were quite naive to think they could just throw him abroad like trash when they didn’t need him, and now that something happened, they could call him back just like that.

It was Qin Xin who persuaded him.

For this sister, Qin Xing had a very complicated mentality. She was not a smart person, and she was not a good sister. She only lived for herself all her life. Whether it was marriage or divorce, Qin Xin did whatever she wanted. She felt that she had a strong background and never needed to rely on her husband’s face. Qin Xing still remembered Qin Xin’s ex-husband, he was a good-looking dandy with a good temper, but he always came across as quite submissive.

It was not that Qin Xin didn’t have a better choice at the time, but she chose this one. As the only daughter, her parents doted on her and agreed to the marriage.

In Qin Xing’s memory, this elder sister was the only person who showed familial love towards him.

When Qin Xing was reprimanded by his parents, she would protect her little brother behind her.

Perhaps for Qin Xin, this kind of thing didn’t need to be remembered, but Qin Xing remembered, and it was precisely because of that, that for so many years, no matter what Qin Xin did wrong, he never said a harsh word to her.

Even when she wanted Qin Yue to have the Qin surname, he agreed.

He also didn’t refuse when she wanted Qin Yue to inherit the Qin family either.

He still remembered how when Qin Yue was just born, the little baby was crying all day long.

He watched the little baby grow up.

To be precise, towards Qin Li, Qin Yue, Qin Meng and Qin Shan, at the very beginning, he treated them all the same.

But Qin Yue was the smartest one.

Qin Xing never thought about getting married, nor about having children, and because of Qin Xin, he picked Qin Yue to train as his potential heir. He had put a lot of effort into Qin Yue.

And Qin Yue did not disappoint him.

Qin Xing sighed and said to Shen Zhen, “Go to sleep.”

Now Qin Yue had developed ambitions.

He wanted power.

If he didn’t give it, Qin Yue would get it by himself.

This time, he could pretend that he didn’t see it, but next time, he could only cut off Qin Yue’s hand.

This was the last chance.

Shen Zhen didn’t sleep and couldn’t sleep, so he asked Qin Xing: “I don’t believe it, did Qin Li or Qin Yue cause trouble for you?”

Qin Xing smiled: “Ah Li has become better.”

Although not smart, it was enough to run a branch company.

Shen Zhen: “Then it’s Qin Yue.”

Qin Xing closed his eyes and said, “He has gotten very close to several shareholders recently.”

These shareholders had no real power in their hands, and they didn’t have many shares either. He would only see them once every year at the annual meeting.

They didn’t have a say in the company’s affairs, but if they all got together, Qin Xing also couldn’t completely turn a blind eye.

Shen Zhen sat up: “Does he still want to go up against you?”

Qin Xing was amused by Shen Zhen’s description: “He doesn’t have the guts yet, at most, he just wants to try.”

He was smarter than before.

“He only contacted shareholders who own 1% of the shares.” Qin Xing said, “Being more cautious than before.”

Shen Zhen felt strange: “He wants to buy the shares in the hands of these people? Doesn’t he also have shares?”

Qin Xing said with a smile: “You must have at least 2% of the shares to have the right to speak.”

These shares of the Qin family were sold when they were going downhill back then.

Qin Xing didn’t think about taking them back either. After all, the total was only 30%, and they were all sold in small shares. Even if they were added together, his position would not be shaken.

So he didn’t bother with that.

Shen Zhen couldn’t understand Qin Yue’s plan, so he asked again: “Does Qin Yue have that much money?”

Qin Xing: “It’s exactly because he doesn’t, that it seems so strange.”

How valuable were the Qin Group’s shares now? Even if Qin Yue sold himself, he still couldn’t afford 1% of the shares.

Shen Zhen: “Does he think that others would give it to him for nothing?”

Qin Xing almost laughed out loud: “If he has that ability, he should be the head of the Qin family now.”

“But recently, he has indeed become more stable than before.”

To be precise, it should be that he was lacking any of his original spirit.

Qin Yue had become old, not referring to his appearance, but to his mentality. He paid more and more attention to the rules. Even when standing in front of Qin Xing, he didn’t look like a junior, but more like a subordinate. And a subordinate who had done something wrong. Facing Qin Xing, he was very careful when speaking, afraid to say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing.

Qin Xing hugged Shen Zhen a little tighter: “Go to sleep, don’t think too much.”

Shen Zhen was pressed into Qin Xing’s chest, but he didn’t break free. He closed his eyes and tried to brew sleepiness.

Although Qin Xing and him changed the topic and didn’t talk about their own affairs, Shen Zhen knew that this was a thorn, and one day it would hurt both of them, or Qin Xing himself would hurt himself. And others would not see whether the wound was bleeding or not.

He had to think about how to pull out this thorn.

He brewed sleepiness for more than half an hour, but he still couldn’t fall asleep, and moved in Qin Xing’s arms. Qin Xing’s sleep was not deep, and he woke up when Shen Zhen moved, and asked softly: “What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?”

Shen Zhen pulled out of Qin Xing’s arms: “I’m going to the bathroom.”

He said he was going to the bathroom, but Shen Zhen actually ran to the living room, turned on a small desk lamp, and watched variety shows under a thin blanket.

He actually didn’t like to watch these things, but recently when he was idle, he would browse and watch them, and even thought they were pretty good. It was always able to make him laugh, which was good for relaxation.

Shen Zhen wasn’t picky on variety shows either, and just clicked in if there was a push on the homepage.

This time, he just clicked into a variety show called: “True and False Lovers”.

Because it was an online variety show, it was slightly faster than the one broadcast on TV.

Shen Zhen watched two episodes, and thought it was not bad, so he watched until the latest episode.

Then he saw a familiar face among the guests.

Su Shiqing, could actually go on a show?

Didn’t Feng Anyan say before that he would be shelved?

Shen Zhen called Feng Anyan.

When answering the phone, Feng Anyan sounded out of breath: “What’s the matter?”

Shen Zhen: “Su Shiqing went on a show?”

Feng Anyan: “Oh him, someone paid the contract money and poached him away.”

Shen Zhen: “Oh?”

Feng Anyan’s voice on the other line was full of ridicule: “He slept with them, so he must get something in return, right? Three million yuan is not a small amount. Besides, I can’t let him continue to eat off my company until his contract is up for nothing, right? And even give him a salary. So selling him for three million yuan is not a loss.”

Shen Zhen also felt that he might be too nervous: “En, okay, I’m hanging up.”

Feng Anyan: “Come out for a drink when you’re free? Have a chat?”

Shen Zhen didn’t directly refuse either: “Let’s talk again when we have time.”

Su Shiqing, slept with someone?

Sleeping his way up?

Shen Zhen sat on the sofa for a while, feeling like he had heard a joke.

That pure and innocent Su Shiqing would also embark on such a path?

Shen Zhen took a sip of water, thinking of the events of his previous life, still feeling quite bizarre in his heart.

Didn’t Su Shiqing like to flaunt his kindness and purity? Wasn’t that his image? How could he sleep his way up.

Although Shen Zhen hated Su Shiqing, it must be said that Su Shiqing had never had a relationship with anyone other than Qin Yue, whether in the book or in his previous life.

He may be ambiguous with others, but the last step would never be taken.

Everything really did seem to have changed.

He had changed, Qin Yue had changed, and Su Shiqing had also changed.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Qin Yue was no longer the heir of the Qin family, and was no longer as smooth sailing as in his previous life.

Su Shiqing also lost the protection of Qin Yue, Chu Haoyi, Liu Huan, and Feng Anyan, and his halo disappeared.

Who knows what the future holds.

Inexplicably, he began to look forward to it.

Shen Zhen had already forgotten the embarrassment and unfamiliarity at this time. Right now he felt that his love rivals could circle the earth and back.

Qin Xing was amused by Shen Zhen. He was about to say something, but Shen Zhen interrupted him: “Do you think I’m not mature enough?”

Qin Xing choked.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen said: “I don’t think maturity depends on age. Some people are very mature at a very young age, and some people are still very naive even into old age. Can you give me some time?”

“I’m just not used to the change in our relationship, and I didn’t mean to do that in the car just now.” Shen Zhen lowered his head, “I’m sorry, en? Don’t be angry, en?”

Qin Xing sighed: “I’m not angry with you.”

Shen Zhen looked into Qin Xing’s eyes.

Qin Xing touched Shen Zhen’s face: “I’m angry with myself.”

Shen Zhen asked strangely: “Why are you angry with yourself?”

Qin Xing said with a smile: “I’m angry why I wasn’t born more than ten years later. If I grew up with you, there wouldn’t have been any space for Qin Yue in the first place.”

It was the first time in a long time that Shen Zhen heard Qin Yue’s name from Qin Xing’s mouth.

Qin Xing said: “So I always worry, in a few years, I will be old.”

Shen Zhen: “How are you old?”

This was not at all like the Qin Xing he knew.

In his heart, Qin Xing was always confident and strong. There was nothing in this world that Qin Xing could not solve.

But now…..it was as if Qin Xing was showing weakness.

This made Shen Zhen’s heart feel very complicated.

Did he cause Qin Xing to be so insecure?

And speaking of insecurity, shouldn’t he be the one to be feeling insecure?

Shen Zhen suddenly said, “Let’s get married at the end of the year.”

Qin Xing didn’t expect Shen Zhen to say this, and his own expression was a little dazed, obviously not having reacted.

Shen Zhen said with a serious expression: “Although I haven’t prepared anything now, I will definitely make up the marriage proposal ceremony. Do you think it will be okay at the end of the year?”

Qin Xing heard his own voice: “It won’t be recognized here.”

Shen Zhen: “That’s not important.”

Qin Xing stretched out his hand to comb Shen Zhen’s somewhat disheveled hair, there was affection in his eyes, and there was also a sigh: “That’s just a formality.”

Shen Zhen tilted his head: “I just happen to like formalities.”

Qin Xing said helplessly, “Xiao Zhen.”

Shen Zhen looked directly at him: “Do you accept?”

The eyes of the two met, and in the end it was Qin Xing who gave in.

“Xiao Zhen, I don’t want you to regret it one day.”

Shen Zhen asked him: “Why would I regret it? Regret what?”

Although he felt embarrassed before, he never felt that he didn’t like Qin Xing.

What he felt was not pure love for Qin Xing, his feelings were much more complicated.

There was worship, there was awe, there was envy, and there was admiration.

In his eyes, Qin Xing was omnipotent, and it was his luck to be liked by such a Qin Xing.

At the very beginning, he couldn’t believe that Qin Xing would like him.

After all, everything he had at that time was obtained by relying on Qin Xing.

Shen Zhen suddenly asked: “What do you like about me?”

The topic of conversation just ran away like this.

Qin Xing suddenly said: “Who says I like you?”

Shen Zhen looked at him with a smile that says “I know everything” on the corner of his mouth.

Qin Xing could only say, “You don’t remember.”

Shen Zhen leaned closer: “If you talk about it, I will remember it.”

Qin Xing looked at Shen Zhen’s curious gaze, smiled and shook his head: “That happened during your coming-of-age ceremony.”

At that time, Shen Zhen had just turned eighteen. Originally, he was a child of the Shen family, and the Qin family should not organize the coming-of-age ceremony for him, but at that time Shen Zhen had a good relationship with Qin Yue, and Qin Yue was the default heir. So when Qin Yue proposed it, the Qin family would still give him face.

But of course Qin Xing would not be notified, after all, if Qin Xing was notified, it would be giving Shen Zhen too much face.

Shen Zhen himself didn’t care about this kind of thing, he hadn’t celebrated his birthday for so many years, and even turning eighteen didn’t seem all that special.

But towards Qin Yue’s kindness, he couldn’t refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and go to the dinner party.

It was a dinner party, that was to say, they borrowed the Qin family’s banquet hall, and then invited their schoolmates and friends to celebrate together.

Shen Zhen also put on a custom-made suit that day. He had never worn such a formal suit before, and felt a little restrained and strange.

Moreover, he didn’t like to socialize with others, and he didn’t have the energy to build  good connections with unfamiliar people.

So facing those classmates and friends whom Qin Yue invited who were just mere acquaintances, he couldn’t summon up the energy to socialize.

On that occasion, Qin Yue was completely at ease, like a fish in the water, and eventually forgot Shen Zhen while busy socializing.

Fortunately, Shen Zhen himself felt relaxed being left to his own devices, so he didn’t join in the crowd.

After all, the people who came here were all here for Qin Yue’s popularity and face, not for Shen Zhen’s sake.

Those people were not friends with him.

Shen Zhen walked to the balcony on the second floor where no one usually goes with a plate of cake in hand, sat on a chair and ate the cake in small bites.

At that time, he was particularly envious of children from ordinary families. No matter whether the family had money or not, they would at least get to grow up with their parents.

Enjoying happiness as family, or suffering hardship as a family, either was better than to live under someone else’s roof.

Living under someone else’s roof meant that you had to endure it even when you were wronged. If you had tears, you had to hold them back. And when feeling upset, there was no one to confide in.

Although the relationship with Qin Yue was very good, Qin Yue couldn’t understand his feelings.

Qin Yue was a proud golden boy. He had never been wronged or disadvantaged since he was a child.

Whatever he wanted, before he even opened his mouth, others had already prepared it for him.

On the night of Shen Zhen’s eighteenth birthday, the sky was full of dark clouds, there were no stars, and there was no moon. The evening wind was still strong and it was a bit cold. He started sneezing after taking a few bites of the cake.

“Uncle Qin.” When Shen Zhen turned his head, he saw Qin Xing standing outside the balcony.

Qin Xing was aware of all the juniors in his family, and he never showed any special treatment for Shen Zhen. If he hadn’t stood in front of him, Qin Xing wouldn’t have remembered what Shen Zhen looked like.

Qin Xing was actually not very concerned about family matters.

“Why are you here alone?” Qin Xing was also in a good mood. Normally, he wouldn’t say a word to Shen Zhen at all.

When Shen Zhen faced Qin Xing, he was always a little nervous. He lowered his head, his shoulders shaking, and said in a small voice, “It’s too stuffy inside.”

Qin Xing: “Why did Ah Yue invite so many people today?”

Shen Zhen said embarrassedly: “Today is my birthday.”

Qin Xing said very politely, “Happy birthday.”

Shen Zhen looked up at Qin Xing cautiously, blushing a little: “Thank you, Uncle Qin.”

Qin Xing nodded, and was about to leave.

Shen Zhen suddenly said, “Uncle Qin, do you want to go together?”

After saying this, Shen Zhen almost slapped himself on the mouth.

Every time he saw Qin Xing, he would lose his composure.

Becoming insane.

Qin Xing looked at him with a smile on his lips: “Okay.”

He was just bored.

Shen Zhen had been in the Qin family for so many years, but he had seen Qin Xing only a handful of times. Every time he saw Qin Xing, he would be so nervous that he couldn’t even speak.

He was more afraid of Qin Xing than even the dean at his school.

Walking behind Qin Xing, Shen Zhen looked at Qin Xing’s back, not knowing why, but he felt a little strangely happy.

He attributed this feeling to his admiration for Qin Xing.

Qin Xing asked him: “Xiao Zhen, since

Uncle knows now, I should give you a gift. What do you want? Uncle can make it up to you?”

Shen Zhen was flattered and ecstatic: “No need, I don’t have anything I want.”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “Don’t be so courteous with Uncle.”

Shen Zhen admired Qin Xing since he was a child. He grew up with Qin Yue, and Qin Yue would tell him about Qin Xing.

In the heart of the young boy, Qin Xing was a tall giant, omnipotent.

When he grew up, his impression of Qin Xing became fixed, and he couldn’t change it no matter what.

In short, in his eyes, Qin Xing was different from everyone else.

Qin Xing looked at Shen Zhen and felt that he looked like a cat, appearing docile, and just hiding his claws.

Shen Zhen whispered, “Then I want the calligraphy personally written by Uncle.”

Qin Xing looked at Shen Zhen and asked with a smile, “How do you know I know calligraphy?”

Shen Zhen: “I heard it from Ah Yue.”

Qin Xing suppressed his smile: “Okay.”

Shen Zhen looked up at Qin Xing with a very happy expression: “Really?”

Qin Xing felt that Shen Zhen now looked like a child——an eighteen-year-old child. He said, “Come with me to the study, and choose one you like.”

In fact, Shen Zhen didn’t like Qin Xing’s calligraphy very much. After all, it was half-baked, and it was only at the level of being able to be seen. It was definitely not enough to compare with a true master, but Shen Zhen just wanted to have something written by Qin Xing personally, to motivate himself.

To put it bluntly, Shen Zhen was just chasing an idol.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

It was probably the first time that Qin Xing was admired so straightforwardly by a junior, and the feeling was quite novel. Looking at Shen Zhen’s smiling face, his fingers twitched, and he wanted to touch Shen Zhen’s face, and even pinch it.

But his fingers only just twitched, and he didn’t reach out as he thought.

This child was young and straightforward. And it was that night when Qin Xing remembered Shen Zhen’s face.

The physical examination was half a month ago. Qin Xing had not had a physical examination for nearly a year. He always ignored his age. When a person reaches past 30, he would feel that time flies by, in the blink of an eye a year has already passed.

When he got the physical examination report, he took a few glances, and all the indicators were fine, except for the blood sugar indicator, which stood out and caught the eye.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Qin Xing sat in a daze with the report in his hands for a few minutes before putting away the report.

For the first time, he clearly felt that he was no longer young.

Shen Zhen watched Qin Xing walk into the office. When he came, he didn’t notify Qin Xing in advance. When Qin Xing saw Shen Zhen, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but curve upwards: “Why are you here today?”

Shen Zhen stood up and gave Qin Xing a hug, but it only lasted a few seconds, he was still a little unaccustomed to being too close to Qin Xing, the feeling it gave him was a bit strange: “After I settled the company’s business, I now have time to come and see you.”

Qin Xing smiled and said: “It happens that I am also no longer needed at the company, so let’s go back together.”

Shen Zhen followed Qin Xing, a little embarrassed.

Don’t know why, but he didn’t feel embarrassed before. He didn’t see Qin Xing for a while, and suddenly he had an unfamiliar feeling, becoming more awkward than before they were together.

Standing beside Qin Xing, Shen Zhen recalled that in his previous life, Qin Xing was like an unattainable symbol in his eyes, not so much a person as a symbol.

He was in awe of Qin Xing and admired Qin Xing, but in fact it had nothing to do with Qin Xing himself.

Qin Xing also found that something was up with Shen Zhen’s mood, and asked softly, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Shen Zhen: “It’s nothing, have you had lunch yet?”

Qin Xing saw that Shen Zhen was absent-minded, but he didn’t point it out. Instead, he asked, “Are you hungry?”

Shen Zhen couldn’t find anything to say, so he just nodded.

“Let’s go eat something first.” Qin Xing, “What do you want to eat?”

Shen Zhen got into the car and smiled at Qin Xing: “Anything’s fine.”

Qin Xing: “Then we’ll go to your Uncle Lin’s.”

Uncle Lin’s restaurant was Chinese food, and Shen Zhen didn’t object.

Qin Xing went to hold Shen Zhen’s hand, but in that moment Shen Zhen’s mind blanked, and he took his hand back instantly.

Shen Zhen regretted it the second he took it back.

He explained awkwardly: “I just…..”

Qin Xing also had a little bit of astonishment on his face, but it disappeared quickly. His smile was still there, but it faded a lot: “It’s nothing, you don’t need to explain.”

His action just now seemed to have hurt Qin Xing’s heart.

Shen Zhen lowered his head, full of guilt. He reached out to pull Qin Xing’s hand, Shen Zhen’s hand was on the back of Qin Xing’s, but Qin Xing didn’t move, as if he didn’t feel anything.

Shen Zhen didn’t speak, he felt that Qin Xing must be angry.

Speaking of which, Shen Zhen’s relationship experience was not rich.

He and Qin Yue had never been in a romantic relationship at all, and they always got along like buddies.

With Qin Xing, it could be regarded as his first ever romantic relationship.

But he didn’t know how to be in a romantic relationship.

Being in a romantic relationship also depended on talent. Some people seemed to be born knowing how to get along with the person they like, and how to speak sweet words naturally, but some people were just like a block of wood, unable to utter a sweet word at all.

Sitting in the restaurant, Shen Zhen felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between him and Qin Xing.

He took a sip of water, moistened his lips, and began randomly: “Brother Ma said, you went for a medical examination?”

Qin Xing paused while taking off his gloves. He had no expression, but his tone was the same as usual: “There is no problem, it’s normal.”

Shen Zhen: “…..Oh.”

He wanted to comfort him, but the person himself didn’t show any signs of displeasure, and he didn’t know where to even start to comfort him.

Maybe Brother Ma was thinking too much?

The food at the restaurant looked very good, and it probably tasted just as good, but Shen Zhen’s attention was not on eating, and he might as well be chewing wax.

He raised his eyes to look at Qin Xing, for the first time observing how Qin Xing ate.

Qin Xing’s movements were very refined, no matter what he did, he always looked calm.

Shen Zhen looked away and finished his meal quietly.

“No appetite today?” Qin Xing asked.

Shen Zhen shook his head: “No, I ate pretty well.”

He had no habit of leaving leftovers, and he could always finish a bowl of rice, whether he had an appetite or not.

On the way back, Shen Zhen was still sitting next to Qin Xing. He thought about why he suddenly felt awkward and a sense of unfamiliarity.

Clearly, they had been pretty good before. Before he became busy with his companies, he had a good relationship with Qin Xing, and he didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

But now, this strange feeling lingered around the air between them.

It seemed like his reactionary response was a few beats slower, and now he finally reacted.

Shen Zhen sighed, feeling that he was thinking too much.

Originally, he didn’t have so many thoughts, and getting along with Qin Xing was very natural.

After a while, Shen Zhen felt that he had done nothing wrong, withdrawing his hand was just because of a conditioned reflex. After all, he had never been so close to anyone except Qin Xing?

Maybe he was feeling shy?

Shen Zhen himself was a little speechless.

Feeling shy when there was no blushing or quickened heart beating?

This skin was also quite thick.

After getting on the elevator, returning home, and turning on the lights, Qin Xing walked in first: “Are you going to take a shower first?”

Shen Zhen swallowed: “You go first, I’ll read some documents for a while.”

When he was at home before, Shen Zhen often read documents, but now he couldn’t read a single word. After reading the same sentence over and over again, to the extent that he could even recite it eyes closed, in the end Qin Xing was all he could think about in his mind.

He was busy some time ago, and Qin Xing had to deal with the Qin family’s affairs, so he moved back to the Qin family manor for more than a week.

It was just over a week.

Shen Zhen buried his head in the pillow, and recalled the way Qin Xing treated him specially from the beginning.

After thinking about it, Shen Zhen sat up straight from the sofa.

He didn’t feel it before, but now that he thought about it, why did he have the feeling that Qin Xing planned it long ago?

The apartment was big, but there were not many things, and it looked rather empty. Shen Zhen heard the sound of Qin Xing showering, and he couldn’t help thinking of their first time.

Shen Zhen patted his cheeks, turned on the TV, and watched the news.

As if after watching the news, his attention would no longer be focused on Qin Xing.

What should have happened and what shouldn’t have happened had already happened. Now thinking about it so much, it seemed too hypocritical.

Shen Zhen watched the news, but kept his attention on when Qin Xing would come out of the bathroom.

After about ten minutes, Qin Xing came out of the bathroom. He only came out in a bathrobe, with his chest exposed.

Shen Zhen turned his head to look, and still found it very sexy.

“I’m going to take a shower too.” Shen Zhen lowered his head and almost rushed into the bathroom.

He closed the bathroom door behind his back and looked at his face in the mirror. His face was flushed red.

The steam in the bathroom was heavy and still very hot. Shen Zhen turned on some cold water and patted his face first.

Then Shen Zhen raised his head again and looked at himself in the mirror.

He didn’t seem to have changed, he was still the same, but after changing his hairstyle, his aura seemed to be more aggressive.

Shen Zhen took a shower for more than half an hour, not so much taking a shower as escaping from reality.

When he came out of the shower, he went to the bedroom to check, only to find that Qin Xing was not in the room.

Shen Zhen froze, and it took several seconds for him to react. He walked to the guest room almost in a panic, and indeed he saw Qin Xing lying on the bed in the guest room.

While Shen Zhen let out a sigh of relief, he was also a little angry: “Why are you sleeping in the guest room?”

Qin Xing was reading with gold-rimmed glasses. He looked up at Shen Zhen with no expression on his face.

For the first time in so long, Shen Zhen faced Qin Xing who didn’t have a smile on his face.

Qin Xing’s tone was a little cold: “I think it’s better for us to sleep separately these few days.”

Shen Zhen asked almost instinctively: “Why?”

Qin Xing looked at Shen Zhen’s bewildered expression, finally sighed, and said to Shen Zhen, “Xiao Zhen, do you want to have a talk to me?”

Shen Zhen hesitated again.

Still, he said, “Okay.”

Shen Zhen sat by the bed and looked at Qin Xing.

Qin Xing also looked at Shen Zhen, and the two looked at each other. Shen Zhen saw helplessness in Qin Xing’s eyes.

This made Shen Zhen feel nervous that he had done something wrong.

“Xiao Zhen.” Qin Xing’s voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of frightening Shen Zhen, “You are still young, in your twenties, and your life has just begun. I don’t wish it to be a momentary passion…..”

Shen Zhen’s eyes widened: “What momentary passion?”

Qin Xing: “Xiao Zhen, I’m older than you…..”

Shen Zhen: “Not much older.”

Qin Xing looked at Shen Zhen. Shen Zhen was still so young, he had been seducing Shen Zhen from the very beginning. His purpose was not pure from the beginning, but now he suddenly realized that Shen Zhen was still young, and his future was still very bright and long, he still had many years to think slowly.

He didn’t want to wait for Shen Zhen to reach middle age and then regret being with him.

What could he do then?

He would always be the same, but Shen Zhen could change.

Qin Xing felt this kind of feeling for the first time in his life.

If his feelings for Shen Zhen were even just a little less deep, he wouldn’t think of this.

He could selfishly hold Shen Zhen in his hands and never give him a chance to regret it for the rest of his life.

But looking at Shen Zhen’s face, Qin Xing felt a little tired for the first time.

He was always worried that Shen Zhen would meet “true love” one day.

Qin Xing smiled: “Xiao Zhen, have you ever thought about how old I would be when you are thirty?”

Shen Zhen said naturally: “Over forty.”

Qin Xing looked at Shen Zhen.

Only then did Shen Zhen realize that what Brother Ma said was true, Qin Xing cared about his own age very much.

Shen Zhen was a little anxious: “You have always been the youngest in my heart.”

Probably because he was afraid that Qin Xing would not believe it, Shen Zhen said again: “Do you dislike me for being too young?”

Qin Xing was taken aback by this question.

With an expression of “I knew it”, Shen Zhen said, “Actually, I’m not too young. If you think there’s something I didn’t do right or well, you can tell me directly.”

“Don’t use age to brush me off.” Shen Zhen said this on purpose.

He saw Qin Xing’s worry.

But he didn’t want to say anything directly. If he said it directly, it would seem like he didn’t care about Qin Xing’s self-esteem.

Although Qin Xing looked very mature, men, no matter young or old, all possess a childish side.

Qin Xing smiled and said: “I’m not brushing you off, Xiao Zhen, I just don’t want you to regret it one day.”

Regret wasting the most precious time of his youth on an old man.

Shen Zhen: “Is it because I pulled back my hand in the car?”

Shen Zhen looked at him intently.

Qin Xing was suddenly speechless.

Shen Zhen’s gaze was very focused and persistent, and it was as if there were stars in his eyes.

Qin Xing sighed, he stretched out his hand, wrapped it around Shen Zhen’s shoulder, then kissed Shen Zhen’s forehead, and asked, “Do you feel awkward?”

Shen Zhen shook his head.

Qin Xing asked again: “What if my face is full of wrinkles?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen thought for a while: “You would still be handsome with wrinkles on your face.”

He really thought so. When Qin Xing became old, he would definitely be a handsome old man, an old gentleman.

Just as able to attract many people, both men and women.

Shen Zhen led Chen Zian outside, and the employees immediately stopped what they were doing and looked up at Shen Zhen and Chen Zian.

They all looked at Chen Zian with disdain.

But Chen Zian tried his best to hold back his smile, he thought those disgusted looks were for Shen Zhen.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“I have something to tell you all.” Shen Zhen said, “Chen Zian has worked in our company for five years. He is considered a senior employee. His contribution to the company is obvious to all. There is no shame in making mistakes. After all, everyone makes mistakes.”

Employees: “…..”

Full marks for this bureaucratic tone.

Shen Zhen added: “However, he committed a big mistake this time. He embezzled the company and sold the half year long hard work of our company’s employees for his own interests.”

“What do you think should be done?”

Chen Zian stood calmly behind, waiting for the employees to stand by him and scold Shen Zhen.

However——

“How else can this solved? Sue him! Fire him!”

“After committing this kind of mistake, there is no need to pay him three months’ salary if you fire him from the company.”

“He should spit out the money he got, is that something he deserves?”

“Shameless!”

There were also hot-tempered employees who directly scolded: “Chen Zian, do you think we are all mentally retarded? That we are here for you to play with in the palm of your hand?”

“And even thinking of poaching us with low salaries, I wonder why you can fantasize so well? Do you really think we can’t do anything without you?”

“Don’t take all the credit for yourself. The company we have today is not because of you alone!”

At the same time, there were also people who flattered Shen Zhen.

“If it wasn’t for CEO Shen’s willingness to take over the company, you would have been sleeping on the streets right now.”

“That’s right, paying you such a high salary, and this is what you do?”

“You used to stay up late with us, saying that you want to accompany us, but isn’t it really just you sleeping in the office by yourself. I really don’t see how you actually helped us.”

“Do you really think that you are the boss of the company? Why are you so shameless?”

“Bah! You should go to jail!”

Chen Zian’s eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrong.

He looked at the employees in a panic, not understanding how things turned out like this.

It was only one morning, how could these people…..

Shen Zhen looked at Chen Zian. He was actually not angry, he was even a little curious: “It’s a good thing that you want to go out and start your own business. As one of my senior employees, I should be giving you my blessings. This is a good thing. But you insist on turning a good thing into a bad thing, so just what were you thinking really?”

“The company’s salary for you is not low. I’ve also seen it. Your annual salary last year was three million yuan. Logically speaking, if you want to leave and start your own business, you shouldn’t be short of money.” Shen Zhen looked at him, “Do you have any reason?”

Chen Zian twitched the corner of his mouth: “I don’t understand what you are saying.”

Shen Zhen took out the mobile phone and played the recording again.

Chen Zian’s face turned green after hearing it.

Shen Zhen: “What’s the reason?”

Chen Zian fell silent.

Although he had earned a lot these years, he had an addiction to online gambling. At the beginning, he felt that he could not lose much money from online gambling, at most just some few thousand yuan. He would just play a bit when he was bored.

But the more he lost, the more he gambled, wanting to get back his money. So naturally, he became stuck in this cycle.

All his money went into this pit.

He thought, companies earned so much a year, if he could also start a company, the net profit would only be more.

He could pay back the money owed.

In order to gamble, he also mortgaged his house and car to borrow money.

If he couldn’t pay off his debts, he would not even have a place to live.

Towards a thing like gambling, the more you gamble, the more money you throw in, and it becomes difficult to stop.

Chen Zian said to Shen Zhen with an ugly expression: “CEO Shen, I just didn’t think it through, I…..I know I am wrong, please give me another chance, I will talk to CEO Lu….. “

Shen Zhen waved his hand: “No need, I can forgive you for making other mistakes, but I can’t for this kind of thing regarding principles.”

“You can just wait to receive the lawyer’s letter. Also, you have been fired.” Shen Zhen smiled at him.

Chen Zian felt like the sky was collapsing. Not only would he have to pay more than one million yuan in damages——he had already used the money to pay off his debts.

He also had to compensate for the leakage of commercial secrets which ranged from 10,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan.

More than one million yuan.

If it was in the past, he wouldn’t even notice this one million yuan.

He could earn it back in half a year.

But now, he had no money at all, and he couldn’t find anyone to borrow money either.

His former friends had long since stopped contacting him because he borrowed money and failed to repay it.

Looking for a bank to borrow? His house and car were all mortgaged, and he had not been able to take a loan from the bank for a long time.

Usury? He also tried it, and it was difficult to even pay the interest every month.

Chen Zian’s mind went blank, his legs went limp, and he slid down to the ground. He stared at Shen Zhen with wide eyes, and shouted: “CEO Shen, CEO Shen! I really know that I am wrong. I have been in the company for so many years and contributed so many things, please help me! I promise I will definitely do things honestly in the future, and this kind of thing will never happen again, you must believe me, you must believe me!”

Shen Zhen sighed: “If one doesn’t hit the south wall, one won’t look back, but the south wall is not so easy to hit.”

“Brother Chen, you should go home first and wait for the lawyer’s letter.”

Chen Zian looked around and said to his subordinates: “Say something for me, did you forget that when you didn’t know anything before, it was me who taught you? How did I treat you? Ask yourselves, can you just look on while I am kicked out of the company?”

Seeing Chen Zian’s hysterical appearance, the employees felt a little soft-hearted.

“Brother Chen…..you have to bear the consequences if you do something wrong, you shouldn’t have done that kind of thing…..”

“Brother Chen, you’d better go.”

“Yeah, at least keep some dignity in the end.”

Chen Zian looked at Shen Zhen: “CEO Shen, please give me another chance! What do you want from me? Please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do it!”

He was so panicked that he was about to cry: “I will kneel down for you? It should be fine if I kneel down for you, right?”

Shen Zhen looked at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth: “Then kneel.”

Chen Zian gritted his teeth and was really about to kneel down.

Shen Zhen: “I won’t change my mind even if you kneel down.”

Chen Zian remained motionless.

Shen Zhen: “Before you do something, you should think about the consequences. As an adult, you should be responsible for your actions.”

“That’s it.” Shen Zhen said, “Chen Zian, if you don’t leave, I’ll call the security to come in and drag you out.”

Shen Zhen said to the employees: “Keep on working. There are a lot of things to do this month. After all, the APP has been developed. Your hard work has been spent on it. I will still give you the commission and bonus that should be given. I will come to the company often in the future, so if there is anything, just come to me directly.”

Employees: “Understood, CEO Shen.”

“CEO Shen, have a good day.”

Chen Zian was finally dragged away by the security guards.

The remaining things could be handed over to the company’s legal team of lawyers, which he spent a lot of money to support. This kind of case was very easy for them.

Li Xiaolin got into the car with Shen Zhen, and Li Xiaolin asked, “CEO Shen, where are you going now?”

Shen Zhen: “I’m going to the Qin Group, so I’ll drop you back first.”

Li Xiaolin: “Okay.”

After sending Li Xiaolin back to Huitong Real Estate, Shen Zhen asked the driver to turn to Qin Group.

It took him a lot of time to solve Chen Zian’s matter recently, and he didn’t see Qin Xing for a week.

Other than phone calls and video calls at night, he hadn’t seen Qin Xing for a while, and he very much missed the other.

Shen Zhen felt a bit of an itch in his throat and coughed lightly.

When Shen Zhen entered the Qin Group’s building, he was a little envious. He wondered when he would be able to build such a large building, and fill it up with employees.

Forget it, better not to think about it, the more he thought about it, the more his heart breaks.

“Who is that handsome guy? He looks so familiar.”

“I also find him very familiar.”

“He looks really arrogant, like he looks down on everyone.”

“Don’t you think…..he looks like CEO Shen? The one from before, the one that was played on loop at the business awards ceremony?”

“Now that you mentioned it, he really does look like him.”

“Did he change his hairstyle?”

“Holy sh*t, with a new hairstyle, he looks completely different.”

“So handsome, I want to marry!”

Shen Zhen didn’t hear what they were talking about, he directly took the elevator upstairs.

Assistant Ma was the first to notice Shen Zhen’s arrival.

He walked beside Shen Zhen: “Young Master Shen, long time no see.”

Shen Zhen smiled at him: “Yes, Brother Ma, how are you doing?”

Assistant Ma: “Still the same, nothing has changed. By the way, CEO Qin is not in a good mood. Try and persuade him later.”

Shen Zhen asked strangely: “What happened?”

Qin Xing had such a good temper, was there actually a time he could get angry?

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Assistant Ma shrugged: “CEO Qin, cough, the last time he went for a physical examination, his blood sugar was a little too high.”

Shen Zhen: “High blood sugar?”

Assistant Ma sighed: “CEO Qin seems to be, um, quite concerned about his age.”

…..Did he think that high blood sugar was due to old age?
