Liu Huan’s pursuit caught Shen Zhen off guard.

“CEO Shen, someone delivered this in the morning.” Li Xiaolin opened the envelope at Shen Zhen’s gesture, and inside was a VIP ticket for a concert, with the venue, time and the name of the band written on it.

Li Xiaolin was taken aback when she saw it, did CEO Shen have a suitor?

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 to Li Xiaolin with a headache: “Put it there for now.”

Li Xiaolin put the ticket on the desk.

Shen Zhen called Liu Huan.

The only person he could think of who would give this kind of thing was Liu Huan.

If Qin Xing wanted to take him to a concert, he would bring it up when they were together, instead of sending it directly to his company.

“Why did you suddenly think of calling me? Missed me?” Shen Zhen sighed speechlessly at Liu Huan’s opening remark.

Shen Zhen said in a steady tone: “Mr. Liu, I received a concert ticket.”

Liu Huan: “Oh, that, I booked it some time ago, there is no one to accompany me so I just sent it to you. If you are interested, go, if you aren’t, don’t worry, the ticket is already yours, you can use it yourself or give it away.”

What Shen Zhen was about to say was blocked in his throat.

Liu Huan’s words having been said like this, if he still said “I have a lover, and I have no interest in you”, it would seem as if he was very narcissistic, so he could only swallow it back.

What should be said had already been said in the last meeting, so Shen Zhen replied: “I am not interested in the concert, I’ll give that ticket to someone else.”

Liu Huan: “It’s up to you, no need to inform me, what I give you is yours, it has nothing to do with me anymore, no matter what I give you in the future, I will always say this.”

Liu Huan: “In any case, let’s talk later, I still have something to take care of.”

Shen Zhen: “…..”

After hanging up the call, Shen Zhen gave the ticket to Li Xiaolin: “There is only one ticket, you can go see it yourself or give it to a friend.”

Li Xiaolin held the ticket in her hand, with a dazed expression on her face——she had no artistic affinity at all, she could even fall asleep watching a musical play, let alone a music concert.”

Not to mention art movies, she would basically fall asleep like a dead pig within ten minutes of the opening. She could only watch action movies and comedy movies with gusto.

“Can I sell it?” Li Xiaolin asked cautiously.

Shen Zhen: “You can do whatever you want with it, don’t ask me.”

The smile on Li Xiaolin’s face widened.

Shen Zhen: “There isn’t anything important to take care of in the company today, is there?”

Li Xiaolin: “No, the following projects are going well, much smoother than expected.”

Shen Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: “Has the land money been transferred?”

Li Xiaolin: “After the transfer, the tax has been deducted, and the company has finally started to make a profit.”

The taxes on the real estate industry was high, but the profits were also huge. Seeing that the income had shrunk a lot, Shen Zhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Li Xiaolin suddenly said, “CEO Shen, it’s time for you to change your car. You should also get a Maybach.”

Shen Zhen also felt that he could buy a new car. He only had a motorcycle, and the cars he used to go in and out were all Qin Xing’s.

Now that he had the money, he really should buy a new one.

Shen Zhen: “You’re right.”

It was convenient to buy a car, just choose the brand and model, and then go pick up the car when the time came.

Li Xiaolin asked again: “If you have a car, you need a driver, right?”

Shen Zhen: “…..”

Why did he feel like buying a car was such a waste?

Although he had a lot of money in his hand, he still felt an inexplicable heartache.

This was probably because he personally experienced the hard work in making money himself?

“Okay.” Shen Zhen said, “Go and post the hire notice.”

Li Xiaolin: “Is there any request?”

Shen Zhen: “Don’t talk too much, don’t be too curious, adhere to traffic rules, don’t speed, don’t drink and drive, don’t drive tired, anyway, I don’t want a driver who had a car accident experience.”

Shen Zhen’s request was not too much, and Li Xiaolin nodded in agreement.

After getting off work, Shen Zhen left with Shen Li and had a meal together in a restaurant outside for once.

Qin Xing had gone back to the Qin family manor today, and there was no one to cook at home. Shen Zhen found it troublesome, so he went outside to solve the problem.

Shen Li was different from his usual chatterbox personality today, instead he was a little silent. He opened and closed his mouth to say something several times while looking at Shen Zhen, looking very hesitant to speak.

“The last time you went back with Shen Mu, why did you come back here again and didn’t stay at the Shen’s?” Shen Zhen asked suddenly, his tone very natural, just like a normal chat between friends, blurting out a question naturally, without any deliberate expression.

Shen Li was a little depressed: “He lied to me again.”

Shen Zhen: “Oh?”

Shen Li picked up a piece of vegetable with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl, but he didn’t move to eat it for a long time. He fiddled with the poor little green vegetable with his chopsticks, and said in a muffled voice, “Dad scolded me again.”

Shen Zhen could think of Shen Fu’s expression at that time. Shen Fu thought that as long as he drove his sons out, the three sons would naturally unite after knowing that life outside was difficult. But as a result, the three sons lived their own lives and when they finally thought of going back, only two went back, and these two didn’t even care about the one outside.

Shen Zhen felt that if he were Shen Fu, he would faint from anger on the spot.

After spending so many years cultivating his sons, none of them turned out useful.

Shen Li suddenly raised his head and asked Shen Zhen: “Big Brother, do you also think I’m stupid?”

Shen Zhen didn’t speak, just looked at Shen Li.

Shen Li poked at his rice: “I know you all think so, whether it’s Dad, you, or Second and Third Brother, you all think I’m stupid and think that I can’t live without the Shen family. When I was in school, my classmates were also the same. On the surface they played well with me, but behind my back they say that I am stupid and rich, an idiot with a lot of money, someone who is easy to deceive.”

As Shen Li spoke, his voice became a little nasally: “I know it all in my heart, but I don’t show it, because it’s useless even if I did, and it’s not like I can become as smart as they hoped anyway.”

“Since I was a child, I have heard them say that you are very smart, that you were sent to the Qin family at such a young age, and that you even had such a good relationship with Eldest Young Master Qin.”

“I thought at the time, if it was me who was sent, would I be the one who they praise?”

“But I know now.” Shen Li sniffed, tears falling into his rice bowl, “I will never become smarter.”

“But I always felt that even if Second and Third Brother temporarily treat me badly, they wouldn’t lie to me.”

Shen Zhen: “Shen Mu lied to you?”

Shen Li nodded: “He asked me to ask Dad for some money, because I am the youngest son, and Dad might be soft-hearted towards me, so I asked Dad for it, and Dad gave me 200,000 and told me to use it sparingly.”

Sure enough, Shen Fu was also not able to let go of his worries about this stupid son.

Shen Li said again: “Then Shen Mu asked me to borrow 20,000 yuan, and I borrowed it. He asked me to give him the card, and he’ll take it to transfer the money, and I also gave it.”

“I just found out yesterday that he transferred all the money away.”

Shen Li couldn’t control his emotions: “I’m not angry about the two hundred thousand yuan. I used to pay more than two hundred thousand for a sports car before, and more than two hundred thousand for a friend’s birthday gift. But I, I just feel uncomfortable, I feel upset.”

Shen Li choked up and said: “I called him, and I asked him if he had typed an extra zero when transferring the money, and he laughed at me, saying that I was always so stupid since I was a child, and I still haven’t changed a bit after growing up.”

“He also said that people like me should stay at home honestly in the future, and don’t go out to embarrass the family.”

Shen Li looked up at Shen Zhen, and found that Shen Zhen was looking at him intently.

Shen Li took the napkin next to him and wiped his face dry: “You dealt with that Su Shiqing before, right? Is he really better than me?”

Looking at Shen Li’s pitiful puppy-like eyes, Shen Zhen could only say: “He…..you don’t have to compare with him.”

Shen Li: “I just can’t figure it out.”

Shen Zhen looked at Shen Li and felt that a person like Shen Li had truly never grown up. Or maybe he had grown up a long time ago, but he just didn’t want to face the reality, buried his head like an ostrich, and pretended that he didn’t know anything.

Living like this was sometimes quite tiring.

Shen Li said: “I used to think that they came to find me because they still cared about our sibling relationship, because I am their younger brother, but now I find that’s not the case. It’s just because I still have money in my hands, and I’m still worth using.”

Shen Zhen suddenly asked: “If the two hundred thousand yuan is in Shen Mu’s hands, then what about Shen Yun?”

Shen Li was taken aback for a moment, and also panicked: “I don’t know…..”

“I don’t even know where Second Brother is.” Shen Li stood up from the chair. He couldn’t eat anymore, his mind went blank. In truth, he knew Shen Mu, and knew how selfish Shen Mu was. And as for where Shen Yun was, what Shen Yun was doing, Shen Mu didn’t reveal a single word.

Shen Zhen: “Don’t worry.”

Then Shen Zhen waved to the waiter to pay the bill.

“Do you know where Shen Mu lived before?” Shen Zhen asked.

Shen Li gradually calmed down: “I know.”

Shen Zhen: “Then let’s go there first.”

Shen Zhen had no good intentions and didn’t want to save Shen Yun, he just wanted to see what Shen Yun looked like now.

Shen Yun, who stood arrogantly in front of him in his previous life, how was he doing now?

Shen Zhen and Shen Li soon arrived at the part of the city where Shen Yun and Shen Mu were living in to save expenses. Most of the people living here were migrant workers, and the dwellings were very simple, makeshift single rooms constructed with a few boards, with a bed and a door. It was so small that it couldn’t even fit a table, and the place was full of various odors.

These kinds of wooden partition rooms could neither block out sound or odor.

When Shen Zhen walked through this floor, he could hear the “creaking” sound of the wooden boards.

Shen Li walked beside Shen Zhen. It was the second time for Shen Li to come here, but he still couldn’t stand the environment here. He felt as if he had nowhere to place his feet, and felt that everything was dirty.

Shen Zhen, on the other hand, looked very natural and unbothered.

“Big Brother, aren’t you afraid of getting dirty?” Shen Li asked curiously.

Shen Zhen: “It’s only the shoes that will get dirty. Don’t your shoes get dirty when you walk outside?”

Shen Li: “…..That seems to make sense.”

They stopped in front of a security door that looked like a residence, and Shen Li pressed the doorbell.

“Who is it!” Someone yelled inside.

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

Shen Li: “We came to find someone!”

The people inside were very vigilant: “Who are you looking for?!”

Shen Li: “Shen Yun in Room 3!”

Then someone came to open the door for them.

Sitting alone in the conference room, Qin Yue frowned tightly, his expression dark and unclear. He knew that he shouldn’t have said that just now, but he was so angry that he couldn’t control himself.

This feeling was bad, very bad.

Feeling too irritable in the company, Qin Yue notified his assistant, and then drove home again, ready to take Su Shiqing to dinner and say a few words, maybe he would feel better.

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

However, when he got home, what he saw was a messy scene at home.

His mind almost went blank at that moment. He ran to the master bedroom and found that Su Shiqing’s things were gone.

He went to the room where Su Shiqing’s parents lived, and even the sheets and quilts were gone, not to mention the clothes in the closet.

Qin Yue felt a little dizzy. He sat on the sofa and called Su Shiqing with trembling hands.

The call was hung up.

Qin Yue continued to call.

It got hung up again.

Su Shiqing didn’t pick up until the tenth time.

“Where have you been?” Qin Yue tried hard to restrain his emotions.

Su Shiqing whispered on the other line: “Ah Yue, I was moving things just now, and I didn’t hear the phone ringing.”

Qin Yue: “I asked you, where have you been?”

Su Shiqing said timidly: “I…..I moved out, and I didn’t tell you in advance because I was afraid that you would disagree.”

Qin Yue roared: “Why did you move out?!”

Su Shiqing seemed to be even more frightened: “You…..you yell at me like this every day, I really can’t stand it anymore, I know you still love me, but I think there is something wrong with our relationship, both of us need time to calm down. It also takes time to think about where we went wrong, and until we calm down and open up to each other, let’s keep a little distance.”

Qin Yue took a deep breath: “You wouldn’t even discuss such a big matter with me?”

Su Shiqing: “I know you wouldn’t agree…..”

Qin Yue: “Where are you now?”

Su Shiqing was a little scared: “You want to come find me? Ah Yue, don’t be so excited, okay?”

Qin Yue leaned on the sofa, and all the strength in his body leaked away: “When did you rent the house? The card I gave you showed no expenses during this time.”

Su Shiqing: “…..My friend has an unoccupied house, and he let me live here for now.”

Qin Yue: “What friend?”

Su Shiqing didn’t have many friends, only a bunch of suitors.

The only ones who could be regarded as friends were Shen Yun and Shen Mu, but both Shen Yun and Shen Mu were not even able to care for themselves now.

Qin Yue: “What’s your friend’s name?”

Su Shiqing said, “I, I still have something to do, so I’ll hang up first.”

There was a “beep beep” sound from the mobile phone. Qin Yue couldn’t hold back and smashed the mobile phone to the ground. This expensive mobile phone was very durable. When it fell, it spun a few times on the ground, and the screen got a crack. It laid at the door entrance, waiting a long time for its owner to pick it up.

——

“Has Qin Yue returned to the Qin family?” Shen Zhen laid on Qin Xing’s back while looking at his phone. He only wore a loose top with two long legs that stuck out from underneath. His movements were very natural, without the stiff and unnatural feeling before.

He and Qin Xing got along more and more comfortably.

Qin Xing turned around and had Shen Zhen lie on his chest. He kissed Shen Zhen on the forehead, and said softly, “He did.”

Shen Zhen: “What is he thinking?”

Qin Xing: “I am his uncle, not the roundworm in his stomach.”

Shen Zhen said sweetly in a serious manner: “How can there be such a handsome roundworm like you, even if there is, Qin Yue is not worthy.”

Qin Xing was amused. He gathered strength in his abdomen, grabbed Shen Zhen’s waist, and lifted Shen Zhen upwards.

Shen Zhen stared at Qin Xing expressionlessly, his hands and feet a little stiff: “How does it feel to hold me up?”

Qin Xing weighed him: “Darling, you’re a little lighter than before.”

Qin Xing asked: “Is it because my cooking is not tasty?”

Shen Zhen’s feet touched the ground again, and he hugged Qin Xing while saying, “It’s tasty, so it takes more effort and energy at the gym.”

Qin Xing touched Shen Zhen’s muscles meticulously: “It is indeed better than before.”

Shen Zhen’s thoughts were interrupted just now, but now he remembered again: “Did he and Su Shiqing break up?”

Apart from this reason, he couldn’t think of any reason why Qin Yue would move back to the Qin family.

But he felt that it was impossible, after all, he knew how much Qin Yue loved Su Shiqing in his previous life. Basically if Su Shiqing even slightly frowned, Qin Yue would ruin the reputation of the person who made Su Shiqing frown.

Why was it different in this life?

Because Qin Yue was not as powerful as in his previous life?

Shen Zhen rested his chin on Qin Xing’s shoulder in a daze, thinking deeply.

Qin Yue was not like in his previous life. He lost his status as the heir of the Qin family. Even though this status was predetermined and previously everyone just had a tacit knowledge of this, everyone now knew that Qin Xing would not choose him as heir again, even if it was just at this time.

There was also a problem with the development of his company. Instead of smooth sailing, his path became full of stumbles.

Qin Yue, who had lost the aura of the Qin family heir, was somewhat similar to himself in his previous life in a certain way.

No wonder Su Shiqing tried his best to get close to Qin Xing.

Shen Zhen felt that he finally understood.

Su Shiqing didn’t only love Qin Yue, but loved only the one with the highest status.

So once Qin Yue lost this halo, he would naturally switch his attention to others, and his eyes would not only focus on Qin Yue.

So now that Qin Yue had stepped down, naturally only Qin Xing had the highest status.

Shen Zhen suddenly bit Qin Xing’s lower lip.

Qin Xing was bitten painfully and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Zhen said, “Nothing.”

When he thought that Su Shiqing might continue to seduce Qin Xing in the future, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Qin Xing hugged Shen Zhen into his arms: “Speak up if you have something to say, and I will answer everything I can.”

Shen Zhen said sullenly, “I’m just afraid you will become the second Qin Yue.”

Qin Xing seemed to think of something: “Do you think Su Shiqing will come to seduce me?”

Shen Zhen looked up at Qin Xing: “He has already tried to seduce you once, and it is inevitable that there will be a second time.”

Qin Xing chuckled lowly: “In your heart, am I someone so lacking in fortitude?”

Shen Zhen: “Well…..”

Qin Xing touched Shen Zhen’s hair: “Get up, didn’t you want to ask me how to deal with Ah Yue?”

Shen Zhen was dumbfounded, he just asked that question randomly, did Qin Xing really want to teach him?

But Shen Zhen would not let go of this opportunity. He stood up immediately, made a pot of black tea for Qin Xing, and then sat opposite Qin Xing, obediently like a student, and a good student at that.

Seeing the speed at which Shen Zhen’s face changed, Qin Xing slightly hooked up the corners of his mouth, looking like he was about to smile, and even asked, “Do you want to bring a pen and paper over and write it down directly?”

Shen Zhen had a look of realization: “I’ll get it, just wait a moment.”

Before Qin Xing could say anything, Shen Zhen went to get a pen and paper.

Qin Xing looked at Shen Zhen’s back with deep eyes.

What should be his, should be his.

Qin Xing spoke very slowly, almost breaking it into pieces for Shen Zhen, and after a while he would ask, “What do you not understand?”

Shen Zhen wouldn’t pretend to understand, and asked for clarification on what he didn’t understand. The two of them talked until two o’clock in the morning. Shen Zhen yawned and looked at his watch, only then did he realize that it was so late.

“Go to sleep.” Qin Xing said, “It can’t be finished in one night.”

Shen Zhen couldn’t keep his eyes open, so he nodded and packed up his notes before going to wash up and sleep.

Shen Zhen’s speed was very slow. When he finished washing up and went to the room, he found that Qin Xing was already lying on the bed. Recently, he and Qin Xing slept on the same bed, but there had been no further steps in their relationship. Qin Xing always felt that he was very busy and too tired, and didn’t have the heart to exhaust him further at night.

After Shen Zhen washed his face, he found that his energy had returned and he didn’t want to sleep so much.

Looking at Qin Xing who was lying on the bed, phrases appeared in his mind: “beautifully delicious”, “animalistic desire” and “lively fragrance”.

Qin Xing caught him and held him in his arms, skin to skin, without any barrier.

Qin Xing suddenly said seriously: “Go to bed early, you are so busy during the day.”

He had seen Shen Zhen’s mental state during this time.

He also hoped that the first time between the two of them would be longer and that Shen Zhen would have better memories.

Of course, the most important thing was that Qin Xing was studying during this period, and asked his assistant to find and send a lot of gay porn to him.

He didn’t want Shen Zhen to feel any discomfort due to inexperience and clumsiness.

Shen Zhen’s fingers made circles in a certain place: “You really aren’t going to come?”

Qin Xing restrained himself: “Go to bed early.”

Shen Zhen looked into Qin Xing’s eyes: “I don’t have to go to the company tomorrow morning.”

Qin Xing looked away: “I’m going to the company tomorrow.”

Since that had been said, Shen Zhen couldn’t say anything more, so he could only sleep on the other side, lying on the same bed with Qin Xing under the quilt, purely sleeping.

Shen Zhen couldn’t help but think that maybe Qin Xing didn’t have that kind of affection for him.

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

Otherwise, why would he refuse physical contact?

Maybe Qin Xing just treated him a little special, and Qin Xing himself mistook it for love.

Shen Zhen didn’t sleep well all night, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

In the coffee shop, Liu Huan sat across from Shen Zhen. The atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward. To be precise, Shen Zhen was probably the only one who felt embarrassed. His fingers were on the coffee cup. Although his face was expressionless, the look in his eyes was a little dazed.

Shen Zhen opened his mouth: “Mr. Liu…..”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Huan suddenly said, “I’m speaking the truth.”

Shen Zhen: “…..”

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

Liu Huan added: “One of my strengths is that I never tell lies.”

Shen Zhen nodded stiffly: “It seems that I can’t accept Mr. Liu’s kindness. I’ll take my leave first.”

Liu Huan said with a smile: “Don’t be so nervous, business is business, private is private, I’ve always distinguished business and feelings. Mr. Shen, please sit back down again.”

Shen Zhen looked at Liu Huan’s face, and finally sat back down.

Liu Huan: “I don’t care about Mr. Shen and Qin Yue’s feud, or any love-hate relationship, nor have I thought about minding it. What I want are the shares in Qin Yue’s hands. If Mr. Shen agrees, we can confirm the cooperative relationship, right?”

Shen Zhen raised the coffee cup to his mouth and took a sip. He still didn’t like coffee very much and didn’t like the taste.

“Does Mr. Liu know how much investment a chain shopping mall needs?” Shen Zhen asked.

Liu Huan nodded: “Of course.”

Shen Zhen stood up and reached out to Liu Huan: “Happy cooperation, Mr. Liu.”

Liu Huan shook Shen Zhen’s hand and smiled at Shen Zhen: “I will be asking Mr. Shen for more advice in the future.”

Shen Zhen withdrew his hand. Although Liu Huan didn’t make any unnecessary movements, he didn’t let go the whole time either. So Shen Zhen could only pull back by himself.

“Where does Mr. Shen live? I’ll take you back?” Liu Huan stood in front of the table. His figure was very similar to Qin Yue’s, but he looked a little thinner, unlike Qin Yue’s muscular physique.

Shen Zhen: “No need to bother Mr. Liu, I will go back by myself.”

Liu Huan followed behind Shen Zhen: “Don’t be so polite, I have time anyway.”

Shen Zhen: “I have a lot of things to do and I’m in a hurry.”

Liu Huan: “Then even more I should drop you off.”

Shen Zhen couldn’t bear it anymore: “I have my own vehicle.”

Liu Huan said seriously: “You can call a substitute driver, may I call for you?”

Shen Zhen stood still, looking at Liu Huan seriously with dark eyes: “Mr. Liu, you are that idle?”

Liu Huan: “Indeed I am quite idle. If not, I wouldn’t offer to send you home, right?”

Shen Zhen didn’t want to be entangled by him: “You said just now that business and private are clearly distinguished.”

Liu Huan: “It’s quite clear, you see, we’re done talking business, now it’s private time, isn’t it?”

“I think I should be able to decide whether I can pursue you in my private time?”

Shen Zhen had never met such a straightforward person in his life, and said helplessly: “Mr. Liu, if you like hunting for prey, I think there will not be a lack of people who meet your standards. Also, I have a lover now. Your pursuit is harassment to me.”

“You’ve even used honorifics.” Liu Huan rubbed his chin and said with a smile, “I’m not in a hurry, we can take it slowly.”

After the two parties parted ways, Liu Huan called his secretary: “Didn’t you say he was single?”

Secretary: “Yes, I checked. Except for his secretary who is a woman, all of the people around him are men, and there are no women who are usually close to him.”

Liu Huan: “What about the men?”

The secretary laughed: “You think everyone is queer like you, how can there be so many queers?”

Liu Huan: “I’m warning you, if you call me queer again, I’ll deduct your salary.”

Secretary: “Okay, Comrade Liu, there are not so many homosexuals in this world.”

Liu Huan: “There is a problem with your thinking. Are you homophobic? A lot of homophobes are actually deep in the closet. Don’t fall in love with me.”

Secretary: “To be able to fall in love with you is really a virtue accumulated in eight lifetimes.”

Liu Huan: “Go and find out carefully what is the relationship between Shen Zhen and Qin Yue before.”

Only then did the secretary come to his senses: “Are you suspecting? No way!”

Liu Huan: “The previous relationship between Shen Zhen and Qin Yue may not be as simple as playmates.”

Secretary: “…..Dang, you became interested in Qin Yue’s current lover before, and now you are interested in his ex-boyfriend. I’m afraid you have an enmity with Qin Yue, right? What kind of deep hatred is this?”

Liu Huan: “Talk normally, how can there be a first come first serve in regards to emotional matters?”

Secretary: “…..That’s really scummy of you.”

Liu Huan: “A little virgin like you knows nothing.”

Secretary: “Hehe, I’m afraid if I take it out it might even be bigger than yours.”

Liu Huan: “I don’t have time to talk smack with you, go check it out.”

The secretary hung up the phone.

Sitting in the car, Liu Huan looked at the group photo of Qin Yue and Shen Zhen stored in his mobile phone. This was probably a photo of them attending an event together a few years ago. Qin Yue in the photo looked like a lively boy, smiling wide and showing white teeth. Shen Zhen was beside him, but smiled very shyly, although Shen Zhen’s eyes were facing the camera.

But Liu Huan could tell that Shen Zhen’s body was leaning towards Qin Yue, and it seemed as if he would pounce on Qin Yue in the next second.

No wonder Shen Zhen was so ruthless. Sure enough, something must have happened before.

Liu Huan turned around and called Su Shiqing again.

“Have you decided to move out?” Liu Huan had always pretended to be gentle and mature with Su Shiqing.

Su Shiqing’s voice was very sweet: “I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I decided to move out. I think Ah Yue and I need time to calm down and find our feelings for each other again.”

Liu Huan: “When are you going to move? I’ll bring you the key.”

Su Shiqing said softly, “Is the day after tomorrow okay?”

Liu Huan smiled: “Okay, in the morning?”

Su Shiqing: “En, at ten o’clock in the morning, Ah Yue happens to be in the company at that time.”

Liu Huan: “Okay, I’ll ask the secretary to bring it to you when the time comes.”

Su Shiqing suddenly spoke hesitatingly, “You…..won’t you come over yourself?”

Liu Huan: “Want to see me?”

Su Shiqing didn’t speak, and continued after a few seconds: “If it’s convenient for you…..”

Liu Huan’s voice became more gentle: “Since you have already spoken, I will definitely come over in person.”

Su Shiqing seemed relieved: “That’s good.”

After hanging up the phone, Liu Huan put away his smile.

Although Su Shiqing was very interesting, it seemed that he was too easy to catch. He had practically lost interest in Su Shiqing by now.

He had always been like this, whenever he had his eyes on someone, he always spent his time in pursuit, making people feel that even if they wanted the moon, Liu Huan would desperately pluck it out of the sky and give it to them.

But once Liu Huan was about to succeed, he no longer felt interested.

According to him, the fun was basically lost.

Now that he was interested in Shen Zhen, and Su Shiqing took more initiative, Su Shiqing would naturally take a seat back.

Liu Huan leaned back on the chair, and said to himself: “It seems that this Qin Yue is quite lucky, but his brain just isn’t so good.”

Qin Yue, who had a bad brain, was not in a good mood recently. He was sitting in the conference room, and the people below dare not show even breath too loudly. The company’s operation was in a mess, and several projects that were originally to be worked on had problems one after another cropping up.  Qin Yue hadn’t been to the company for more than a month. When he finally did come to the company, he ended up facing a lot of problems. Naturally, he would start to pursue the responsibility.

“You have seen the recent turnover.” Qin Yue crossed his arms over his chest, “Is there anything you want to say?”

No one spoke, and almost everyone lowered their heads. The company started to become chaotic after Qin Yue poached people, and after he poached them, he then fired them. Some of them downstairs in protest and some went to the Labor Bureau to sue them. The management was overwhelmed with a lot of things, and now Qin Yue, the instigator, held them accountable, so everyone’s expressions were not very good.

These managers were all people with work experience and achievements under their belts. They were recruited by Qin Yue at the beginning because Qin Yue offered high wages, promised good conditions, and Qin Yue himself had a good attitude, otherwise they would not have jumped ship.

So they still had confidence on their side.

Qin Yue asked again, and someone suddenly said, “CEO Qin, do you know when the company’s turnover began to decline?”

Qin Yue looked at the person who was talking, with an uncertain expression: “Go on.”

That person: “Since you decided to poach people from Huitong.”

“Huitong does not compete with us in the same industry.”

“Nor did they compete with us for any resources. In other words, the well water does not interfere with river water. They did not block our way, nor did they have any conflicts with us.”

“Real estate is not our main business, why do we have to start a fight with Huitong?”

“CEO Qin, your personal feelings have affected the company, do you admit it?”

Qin Yue’s face was so dark ink could be squeezed out, but he still nodded and said, “I admit it.”

The man: “So can you give us an explanation and tell us why we must go against Huitong?”

Qin Yue: “Why should I give you an explanation?”

Everyone: “…..”

Qin Yue was probably so angry he couldn’t help feeling amused: “Don’t I pay you a salary? What loss do you have?”

The man: “CEO Qin, it cannot be put that way. If it wasn’t for the betterment of the company, why would I say these things? Wouldn’t it be good to just continue to do what I’m doing and get the same salary as before? What’s the situation in the company now? The people’s hearts are unstable, everyone is feeling very uneasy, many employees under my management say they want to change jobs, want to leave, so should this situation be ignored?”

Qin Yue was very annoyed: “Then tell them to leave! If I offer such a high salary, would I not be able to hire more people?”

Everyone knew that Qin Yue was telling the truth, but the more truth it held, the more chilling it was.

Of course, there would be no shortage of prospective employees aiming for the high salaries, but the corporate culture of a company was always supported by old employees. If the employees had no loyalty to the company, how could they grow bigger and stronger?

The man finally didn’t know what to say, so he could only say dejectedly, “You pay the salary, what to do, you decide.”

Qin Yue was also feeling uncomfortable. He twirled the pen in his hand and said to the person with the head down: “Focus on the inside of the company first, let them go if they want to leave, and keep those who want to stay. The company’s rules and regulations should also be re-enacted, and then act according to the rules and regulations. If you have any questions, contact my assistant and ask him to report to me. Is there any problem?”

Everyone: “No problem.”

Qin Yue: “Then let’s end the meeting.”

Everyone came out in a file, with very ugly expressions on their faces.

The person who spoke against Qin Yue rolled his eyes and whispered, “I want to see how long this company can last and when it will collapse. The boss’s mind is muddled, and no matter how capable the people below are, it’s useless, after all, the decision-making power is in his hands.”

The person next to him said: “Don’t say anymore, just keep your eyes open during this time, see if there are any suitable companies, then contact them first.”

That person: “I want to go to Huitong.”

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

The person next to him was surprised: “No way? Isn’t that slapping CEO Qin in the face?”

The man sneered and said, “I think Huitong is pretty good. We poached their employees, but you don’t see Huitong in a mess.”

The person next to him just said, “Just make sure to think it over some more yourself.”

After Su Shiqing hung up the phone, Liu Huan continued to process the documents. The secretary next to him asked him, “Mr. Liu, the information you want.”

The secretary gave him the folder, which contained Su Shiqing’s background.

“The reason Qin Yue is unlucky this time is because Shen Zhen set him up, right?” Liu Huan rubbed his chin, his eyes full of amusement, “Qin Yue is that stupid? Using this method to poach people, if I were Qin Xing, I would have snapped his leg.”

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

The secretary said with exasperation: “The relationship between Mr. Qin and Qin Yue is not very good now. Young Master Shen has now seemed to replace Qin Yue.”

Liu Huan: “Looks like I have to find some time to meet this Young Master Shen.”

The secretary said suspiciously: “You wouldn’t really happen to feel anything towards Su Shiqing…..”

Liu Huan spread his hands: “To be honest, I do have a good impression. I like his type.”

The secretary stared with wide eyes: “Last year, you liked the type with big butts.”

Liu Huan laughed loudly: “It changes every year, why, are you jealous?”

The secretary rolled his eyes: “I’ve already become a jar of vinegar.”

Liu Huan: “Contact Shen Zhen and tell him that I want to talk to him about the business of the land on South Road, and make an appointment with him.”

The secretary reminded: “No matter how much you like Su Shiqing, don’t offend anyone for him.”

Liu Huan sighed: “Am I just a lecher in your heart? And a lecher without a brain to boot?”

Secretary: “Who knows? Isn’t Qin Yue quite brainless now?”

Liu Huan was stunned: “What you said makes sense, I’m actually speechless.”

“I just think Su Shiqing is very interesting.” Liu Huan stood up, stretched, and smiled at his secretary, “He must rely on others for a living, be meticulously cared for, and can’t stand even a little wind or rain. Whoever transplants him into their garden can make him grow into the type they like, but once transplanted out, he will die if he can’t adapt to the outside environment.”

The secretary was speechless: “So you want to raise a delicate flower? Then you might as well raise me, I am also quite a delicate flower.”

Liu Huan: “What you said is interesting. How can there be a delicate flower as big as you? If you stretch out your legs, the hair on your legs will be longer than mine.”

Secretary: “This is called masculine, sex appeal.”

Liu Huan swore without any psychological burden: “My ass, go and shave your legs.”

The secretary rolled his eyes and left, but still made an appointment with Shen Zhen for him.

“Six thirty in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.” The secretary said to Liu Huan.

Liu Huan nodded: “Okay.”

The secretary muttered in a low voice: “I’ve never seen you so interested in anyone, and even to the extent of vying to be a male mistress.”

Liu Huan: “Don’t think I can’t hear you. I heard it all. When you say bad things about people, speak louder.”

The secretary put away the documents and said without looking up: “I was praising you for being handsome, that everyone who sees you loves you.”

Liu Huan: “That’s more like it. By the way, go to my house after getting off work tonight and help me take my dirty clothes and underwear to the laundry.”

The secretary didn’t hold back: “Can’t you call and ask them to pick it up?”

Liu Huan: “I didn’t remember the number.”

Secretary: “I’ll send it to you.”

Liu Huan: “I won’t call them even if you send it to me.”

The secretary swallowed a big mouthful of blood, and turned his head to look at Liu Huan who was sitting behind the desk: “How much virtue have I accumulated in my previous life to be your secretary in this life.”

Liu Huan crossed his legs: “You also know that it is virtue, so you should treat me better, and don’t talk bad about me behind my back.”

The secretary continued to roll his eyes.

The secretary nagged: “Even if you meet Shen Zhen, so what? Tell him not to deal with Qin Yue? I didn’t know that you are quite considerate towards your rival in love. The radiance of the Holy Mother shines on the earth.”

Liu Huan: “Who said that? Am I the kind of person who sacrifices himself for others? I want to join hands with him and kick Qin Yue down in the mud.”

Secretary: “Damn, that’s amazing. They say a beautiful woman is a source of calamity, but I feel that male beauty is just as much so.”

Liu Huan waved at him: “Come here.”

The secretary walked over, and Liu Huan gave him a knuckle rap: “What do you know, I’m just planning in advance. Even without Su Shiqing, I will still have to attack Qin Yue.”

The secretary didn’t understand, and felt that his boss was making excuses, so he gave Liu Huan a contemptuous look, and left to do his own business.

“Remember you can’t leave first after getting off work today.” Liu Huan was still saying to his secretary.

Secretary: “I’m done! I’m resigning!”

Liu Huan: “I won’t approve it for you, so just give up.”

The secretary was speechless: “If you spend less time hooking up, I would be able to relax a lot more.”

Liu Huan: “When have I hooked up with anyone?”

Secretary: “Do you remember how many times you have flirted eith another this month, including this Su Shiqing?”

Liu Huan shook his head as a matter of course: “Why would I keep track of this, don’t I have you, otherwise I would be paying you for nothing.”

The secretary broke down and said, “Whose secretary has to deal with this kind of thing!”

Liu Huan looked his secretary up and down, and sighed: “Others’ secretaries have big breasts and big buttocks, look at you, your chest is as flat as your back, I haven’t even felt disdain for you yet, but you dare to be disdainful of me.”

The secretary had no expression on his face: “I’m a man, so I’m so sorry that my chest and back are equally flat.”

Liu Huan: “Forget it, although you are not as good as other people’s secretaries, but I have become used to you, and you must continue to perform well in the future.”

The secretary decided to make a voodoo doll to prick after returning home.

It would be even better if he could sew up his boss’s unreliable mouth.

On the day when he had a meeting with Shen Zhen, Liu Huan changed into formal clothes. He was in his thirties, the best age for a man. He looked at himself in the mirror and felt that he was as handsome as ever, the most handsome fellow in the room. Only then did he drive to the appointment location.

Shen Zhen had already been waiting for about ten minutes.

Every time Shen Zhen made an appointment with someone, he usually arrived about fifteen minutes earlier. He didn’t like being late, but it didn’t bother him if he had to wait for someone.

He was sitting on the seat by the window, and the sunlight shrouded his whole person in it, making his skin fair and his long eyelashes even more apparent. He was only in his early twenties this year, and his aura was a mix of boy and man, making him look even more attractive.

At least Liu Huan couldn’t take a single step right now.

He had seen photos of Shen Zhen and the video of Shen Zhen participating in the business awards ceremony, but he had never seen Shen Zhen in person.

In his impression, Shen Zhen should be the kind of person who looked very ruthless and sinister——after all, his methods of dealing with Qin Yue couldn’t be called upright and honest.

But the real person was completely different from what Liu Huan imagined.

It wasn’t until Liu Huan walked into the restaurant and sat opposite to Shen Zhen that Shen Zhen raised his eyes to look at him.

To be honest, Shen Zhen could barely remember the character Liu Huan, mainly because he didn’t appear much in the original novel.

He was not so much a male supporting role as he was Su Shiqing’s biggest golden finger.

Liu Huan was the only male supporting role who was close to Qin Xing in status. Whenever Su Shiqing’s harem group couldn’t solve something, Su Shiqing only needed to ask Liu Huan for help, and everything would be solved.

But that was Liu Huan in the later stage, and Liu Huan in the early stage was more like a passerby, there was not much description of him at all.

“Mr. Liu.” Shen Zhen greeted politely.

Liu Huan acted very friendly and familiar: “You don’t need to be so polite, you can just call me Brother Huan, and according to seniority, it’s fine if you also call me Uncle Huan.”

Shen Zhen: “…..About the land we were talking about.”

Liu Huan: “That piece of land is not important.”

Shen Zhen: “…..” Was this person here to make trouble?

Liu Huan said with a smile: “I won’t go around in circles with you, are you dealing with Qin Yue?”

Shen Zhen didn’t know how to answer, but he didn’t feel like lying, so he asked: “You have a problem?”

Liu Huan: “It’s like this, let’s join forces, and I’ll help you bring down Qin Yue’s company, how about it?”

Shen Zhen looked confused. Was there something wrong with this person’s brain circuit?

Liu Huan sighed: “Just take it as a greeting gift to Qin Xing after I return to China?”

Shen Zhen took a sip of tea: “Uncle Qin doesn’t care much about Qin Yue.”

Liu Huan: “That’s true, otherwise he wouldn’t just be watching you deal with him.”

Liu Huan said with a smile: “Smart people don’t play stupid, I want to buy Qin Yue’s shares in Qin Group.”

Qin Yue had one percent of the shares in his hand. Although it didn’t look like much, this one percent was enough for him to lie on a mountain of gold and silver for several lifetimes and just eat, drink and have fun.

Shen Zhen almost spat out a mouthful of tea: “As long as Qin Yue doesn’t go crazy, he won’t sell the shares.”

Liu Huan shrugged: “We won’t know until then.”

“Of course, I will not deny you benefits.” Liu Huan chuckled, “I heard that you are looking for a partner recently and plan to open a large chain shopping mall. Are you thinking this is not easy to do? And few people dare to invest?”

Shen Zhen smiled: “This you don’t need to worry.”

Liu Huan: “That’s right, I almost forgot, Young Master Shen is Mr. Qin’s favorite junior now. If Mr. Qin is willing, don’t mention a chain shopping plaza, he can even help you open a chain of snack bars all over the country.”

Shen Zhen looked at Liu Huan, his face was expressionless, indifferent like a piece of ice.

Liu Huan moved his neck and said to Shen Zhen: “I am different, we are a cooperative relationship of mutual benefit, don’t you think so?”

Shen Zhen looked away and down at the teacup in his hand.

“Mr. Liu, I want to ask, there is not a lack of people who have shares in Qin Group, why are you eyeing Qin Yue?”

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

“If you choose another target, the difficulty will be much lower, right?”

Liu Huan suddenly looked directly at Shen Zhen. Sitting upright, with a serious and self-disciplined demeanor, he looked at Shen Zhen, his eyes full of tenderness: “If I said I fell in love with you at first sight, would you believe it?”

Shen Zhen: “…..” Excuse me?

Shen Zhen woke up in Qin Xing’s arms. He laid on the bed. Clearly, he should get up and wash up at this time, but he just didn’t want to move. He had never procrastinated in bed before. Shen Zhen turned over, the tip of his nose surrounded in Qin Xing’s scent. If he had to say it, he couldn’t describe what it was like, but it smelled very good.

It smelled so good he became hard, so he could only get up, go to the bathroom to wash up, and stay in the bathroom for almost half an hour before coming out.

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

After he came out, Qin Xing had already woken up and was putting on his pants.

Shen Zhen leaned against the bedroom door and looked at Qin Xing putting on his clothes. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that the other was extremely handsome, just like walking pheromones.

So Shen Zhen couldn’t hold back, and threw Qin Xing on the bed. He sat on Qin Xing and asked him, “Going to the company today?”

Qin Xing spread his hands with a doting look and said in a gentle voice, “I should go and have a look.”

Shen Zhen: “I’ll drop you off on my bike.”

Qin Xing: “Thank you, but I don’t think I can get very used to motorcycles.”

Shen Zhen felt a little regretful: “Really? Then I won’t ask you next time, but I have pretty good driving skills.”

If Shen Li was here at this time, Shen Li would want to hit someone.

Qin Xing pinched Shen Zhen’s earlobe: “Get up, I’m going to go make you a sandwich.”

Shen Zhen stood up obediently, and sat on the side: “Don’t add tomatoes.”

Qin Xing: “Okay, no tomatoes.”

Shen Zhen watched as Qin Xing seemed to move with ease among the various kitchen utensils, his pace calm and unhurried. It seemed as if he was not cooking, but making a work of art. Shen Zhen asked him: “Aren’t you a clean freak? You’re fine now?”

Qin Xing raised his eyebrows: “I can’t be counted as a clean freak.”

Shen Zhen: “You don’t count?”

Qin Xing chuckled lowly: “It’s not serious, if I want to overcome it, I can always overcome it.”

Shen Zhen seemed to understand but also not. He didn’t know much about this, he only knew that sometimes excessive cleanliness was also very harmful to oneself, and before he was worried that Qin Xing’s symptoms of obsessive cleanliness would become more and more serious.

Qin Xing finished cooking, and the food presentation was also very nice. After breakfast, the two kissed and then separated, going to their respective companies by car or motorbike. In recent years, Qin Xing had become more and more idle. Other than business out of the country which he had to personally oversee, the domestic business made profit without much supervision needed from him.

Unlike Shen Zhen, who had to work tirelessly and personally worry over every little detail about his company.

As soon as he arrived at his company, Shen Zhen was about to go upstairs when he was stopped by several people.

“CEO Shen, CEO Shen!”

Shen Zhen looked at the young people in front of him, but didn’t remember who they were for a while, so he asked, “Is there something you need?”

Those people nodded hurriedly.

“CEO Shen, do you remember that we used to work in Huitong before?”

There were so many employees in the company, Shen Zhen naturally didn’t have time to get to know each of them one by one. He knew only the management, and the people below would naturally be known by the management, so it went down level by level.

Shen Zhen: “Sorry, I don’t really remember.”

These few people were not upset, and instead said: “CEO Shen, we have realized our mistakes. We hope you can give us another chance. In the future we will definitely work hard in our positions, and create greater benefits for the company.”

“Yes, CEO Shen, we really didn’t know that things would develop like this.”

“CEO Shen, the salary is also negotiable.”

Shen Zhen had a headache: “Whatever it is, please register with the security guard, and then come up and find me.”

After speaking, he got on the elevator without looking back.

The several remaining people looked at each other in blank dismay.

“What does CEO Shen mean?”

“Does he agree or not?”

“I can’t tell…..”

“Let’s go and register first.”

When Shen Zhen reached his office, Li Xiaolin told him about the recent events. He didn’t know that Qin Yue actually fired all the people who had been poached away. After paying the probation period salary, the people were then sent away.

It was useless even if those people went to find labor arbitration.

First, there was no contract.

Second, their probationary wages were not kept from them.

Essentially, Qin Yue found that he couldn’t hold it anymore, and then thought of a stupid trick. Not only was he not clear in the head, he also turned his company into a mess. The dismissed employees basically went to make trouble every day, and the security had to keep stopping them every day, but this kind of thing couldn’t continue every day. In short, it was just a pile of muddled and unclear accounts.

The three people who stopped him just now were the ones who were dismissed by Qin Yue and wanted to go back to work at Shen Zhen’s side.

At that time, Shen Zhen’s company had just been established, and there were only a few core employees introduced by Qin Xing, and he couldn’t hire people with deep qualifications, so many of them were fresh graduates, or had just one to two years of work experience and needed to be trained by the company.

Shen Zhen’s wages and benefits for them were not low, in hopes that they would stay in Huitong after they finished learning the work.

But the result?

Anyway, those who left, he didn’t want them back. Now was no longer the time when he couldn’t hire any people.

Any normal person in the industry with eyes could see the current trend of Huitong. There were already many senior professionals who have sent emails to the company’s public mailbox.

“Wanting to come back now, in their dreams.” Li Xiaolin was both angry and proud.

Shen Zhen: “Don’t bother with them.”

Li Xiaolin asked, “CEO Shen, are you not angry at all?”

Probably because she had been with Shen Zhen for a long time, occasionally when the atmosphere was good, Li Xiaolin could say a few playful words.

Shen Zhen smiled and said: “I told you before, there is nothing to be angry about, everyone has their own choices, it’s not like I can brainwash them, and the company is not a prison, so it’s not like we can trap them, right?”

Li Xiaolin: “Anyway, they will definitely not be able to find a boss as good as you, CEO Shen.”

Shen Zhen: “Who knows.”

He didn’t take pleasure in the bad luck of those who left the company.

But he did unconsciously smile because of Qin Yue’s misfortune.

Qin Yue indeed felt that he probably had encountered eight lifetimes of bad luck.

The company was already on the right track, with sufficient liquidity, and all cooperation projects had been negotiated and would begin launching.

But all of a sudden, problems arose one after another.

The negotiated cooperation project was gone. He called repeatedly to confirm, but the other party just stuttered and said that the situation had changed.

After all, they were all reputable people, and it was impossible for Qin Yue to go to the other party’s company to cause a scene.

The most important thing was that he himself failed to sign the contract earlier, which resulted in the fruit being picked.

And he knew that the person who picked the fruit before him must be Shen Zhen.

After all, he poached employees from Shen Zhen first.

As for the contacted media whom he already gave money to, it also turned out to be in vain.

Qin Yue was lying on the sofa, looking at Su Shiqing who was sitting next to him watching TV, his heart filled with irritability. Turning his head, and seeing that Su Shiqing was watching an idol drama he was even more annoyed: “Switch to the news channel.”

Su Shiqing stared at the TV intently, and said coquettishly, “The finale is coming soon, I’ll switch it after I finish watching this, okay?”

Normally, Qin Yue would of course say yes with a gentle face, but for some reason now, he was so irritable and saw that nothing was pleasing to the eye, and as soon as Su Shiqing’s words fell, Qin Yue stood up and shouted: “I said change the channel!”

Su Shiqing was taken aback. Qin Yue had never yelled at him like that before. He just sat there in a daze, motionless, with tears gathering in his eyes, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

“It’s not aimed at you.” Qin Yue calmed down a bit, and explained to Su Shiqing while putting a hand to his forehead.

Su Shiqing wiped his tears with the back of his hand, shook his head and said, “It’s okay, I’m fine.”

Qin Yue remained restless even by nighttime. He had been sorting out how he wasted a handful of good cards, but every time he felt that he was about to catch a clue, a strange feeling made him unable to concentrate.

“I’m going to sleep in the guest room tonight.” Qin Yue took out his change of clothes from the master bedroom and walked straight to the guest room.

Su Shiqing bit his lip behind him.

This had been the case for a while, and Su Shiqing went back to the bedroom. After thinking for a while, he finally dialed a phone number.

The person on the phone seemed to have been waiting for his call, and answered it almost within three seconds.

Su Shiqing asked softly, “Is it Mr. Liu? It’s me, Su Shiqing.”

“Mr. Liu” on the other end laughed: “You don’t need to use this unfamiliar politeness, Shi Qing can just call me Brother Huan.”

Su Shiqing blushed a little, but quickly said: “I talked to you before, but I’m a little unsure now, I…..I don’t know if my boyfriend still loves me now.”

“Since what happened last time, my boyfriend often loses his temper, sometimes yells at me, and then apologizes to me after the yelling.”

Liu Huan asked: “Shi Qing, I have a question for you, and you have to answer it truthfully, is that okay?”

Su Shiqing nodded: “Okay.”

Liu Huan: “Did you have sex with Qin Yue during this time?”

Su Shiqing’s face was blushing fiercely, and he whispered, “…..No.”

Liu Huan asked again: “Is he in the company most of the time?”

Su Shiqing: “No, he’s been taking care of me. He even hired an expert to look at my leg. Is it because I’m so useless that he’s so irritable? Do I need to do something?”

Liu Huan comforted him: “It’s not your problem, it should be your boyfriend’s problem. He may be under a lot of pressure recently. I suggest you keep a distance. You can separate for a while to let each other calm down. Sometimes when the distance is too close it is difficult to reconcile conflicts.”

Su Shiqing whispered: “But Ah Yue bought this house, and my parents also live here. I can’t tell Ah Yue to move out, can I?”

Liu Huan said generously: “It just so happens that I have an empty house in this city, with three bedrooms and one living room, it’s a duplex building with two bathrooms, and professionally decorated. You can bring your parents to live there first.”

Su Shiqing: “That isn’t quite…..okay, is it?”

Liu Huan: “What’s wrong with it? I’m not telling you to live there for free, you have to pay rent.”

Su Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief: “How much is the rent? I can’t afford too much.”

Liu Huan: “Six hundred yuan a month, is that affordable?”

Su Shiqing said in delight, “Brother Huan, you are such a good person!”

Liu Huan laughed: “Then treat me to dinner when you have time.”

After Su Shiqing hung up the phone, his spirits improved a lot. He and Liu Huan met by chance. They met at the same psychiatrist a month ago. They chatted for a while while waiting, and felt that they got along very well with each other so they exchanged mobile numbers.

Afterwards, they would often send messages to each other, asking about each other’s recent situation, asking about each other’s troubles, but Su Shiqing often spoke and Liu Huan listened.

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

Su Shiqing was lying on the bed, thinking of Qin Yue for a while, Chu Haoyi for a while, and then Liu Huan for a while.

He remembered what Chu Haoyi said to him: “Do you think Qin Yue treating you well and his love for you can last a lifetime? He can’t, but I can.”

In the past month, Su Shiqing thought of this question countless times, and he was suddenly shaken.

When Shen Zhen learned of these things, there was no sense of accomplishment. It was mainly because such a Qin Yue was too stupid. When defeating a fool, it would be strange to have a sense of accomplishment.

Shen Zhen leaned against the window while reading some documents. A pair of hands stretched out from behind, embracing Shen Zhen around the shoulder.

Shen Zhen tilted his head naturally, and a soft kiss landed on Shen Zhen’s ear.

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

“What are you looking at? Looking so concentrated, is it more interesting than me?” The man’s voice sounded in his ears, gentle and magnetic, with a hint of a smile, making one unable to resist going red in the ears.

Shen Zhen: “Teaching Qin Yue a lesson, let him know not to make trouble for me if he knows what’s good for him.”

Qin Xing gently pinched Shen Zhen’s earlobe: “So petty?”

Shen Zhen pulled Qin Xing’s arm and looked at Qin Xing: “Very petty.”

Qin Xing bowed his head and kissed Shen Zhen’s lips: “Your pettiness is also attractive.”

“You aren’t angry?” Shen Zhen asked strangely.

Qin Xing rolled up his sleeves and cooked for Shen Zhen: “Despite his experience of so many years, if he still couldn’t win against you, then he only deserves to be unlucky. The business world is like a battlefield, and if he can’t stand on his own then it’s no one’s fault but his own. Darling, pass me the soy sauce.”

Shen Zhen went to the cabinet to find the soy sauce: “Light soy sauce or dark soy sauce?”

Qin Xing laughed: “You actually know the difference between ligjt soy sauce and dark soy sauce?”

Shen Zhen: “I did the shopping, okay?”

Qin Xing had his sleeves rolled up and an apron tied around his waist while cooking. Shen Zhen stood beside him and watched, saying curiously, “How come you know how to cook?”

Qin Xing: “I stayed abroad for ten years, and I ate practically the same thing every day because the nanny hired was foreign. At that time I was quite proud and didn’t want to ask the family for help so I learned how to cook myself.”

“It’s not difficult.” Qin Xing turned to Shen Zhen, “Do you now suddenly think your man is very capable?”

Shen Zhen raised his hands in defeat: “Yeah, I’m really lucky.”

Qin Xing: “It’s good that you know it, cherish me.”

Shen Zhen sat on the side watching. He and Qin Xing started living together since Qin Xing returned last month. Even Mama Zhang was directed away. Qin Xing seemed to have completely taken over the place as his own home. He was the other male master in this family. Now the slippers were also in pairs, the toothbrush was also in pairs, and even the towel was prepared in pairs.

It seemed that since they began living together, their relationship became even more close and intimate.

“Can we not eat tomato scrambled egg tonight?” Shen Zhen made an opinion.

Qin Xing: “Don’t you like it very much?”

Shen Zhen: “…..After eating every day for a month, I don’t think I like it anymore.”

Qin Xing compromised: “Okay, then it will be tomato egg soup tonight.”

Shen Zhen: “…..”

He suspected that Qin Xing only knew how to make those few dishes.

Thinking about it, more than a year ago, he also respectfully said that he wanted to cook for Qin Xing.

After more than a year, the tables had completely turned.

“Come over,” Qin Xing said.

Shen Zhen walked over. The dishes Qin Xing made were like him. Even if it was a home-cooked meal, he could make it look like a national banquet. The plating was particularly beautiful and the taste was very ordinary. Would these kinds of dishes taste better?

No, it would just look more expensive.

After putting the dishes on the table, the room was full of the scent of food. The rice stored at home was bought by Assistant Ma in Qin Xing’s name, and who knew where Assistant Ma went to buy the rice but it was particularly fragrant and plump. The unique fragrance of rice completely filled the place.

Shen Zhen didn’t like to eat vegetables. He had always left a lot of vegetables after finishing his rice.

Shen Zhen picked up a chopstick full of food and sent it into his mouth, praising: “It tastes better than my cooking.”

Qin Xing laughed and said: “As long as one can cook, it will likely taste better than what you make.”

Shen Zhen: “I think I cook well, you have just never seen real toxic dishes.”

Qin Xing said exaggeratedly: “Is there cooking more toxic than yours?”

Shen Zhen was teased but didn’t feel angry, and instead replied, “Do you want to try it?”

Qin Xing shook his head and said: “Among all toxic cuisines, I will only eat yours. I like whatever Xiao Zhen makes.”

Shen Zhen was doubtful: “How many pounds of sugar did you eat today?”

Qin Xing: “Is it sweet?”

Shen Zhen: “Nauseatingly so.”

Qin Xing licked the corner of his lips. He leaned forward slightly, and those chest and abdomen muscles appeared clearly in Shen Zhen’s view: “If you come over and have a taste, I guarantee it will be sweeter.”

Shen Zhen’s throat swallowed involuntarily. He looked away, fearing that he would throw himself over in a loss of control. He said stubbornly, “It’s not like I haven’t tasted before. It’s only so-so.”

“I won’t tease you anymore.” Qin Xing laughed, “Eat quickly, go to wash the dishes after eating.”

Anyway, there was the dishwasher, and all Shen Zhen had to do was just to clean the chopsticks.

Qin Xing was not willing for Shen Zhen to touch the oil.

But after eating, Shen Zhen still ended up tasting the sweetness.

After cleaning the tableware, after putting everything away, Shen Zhen went to take a bath. After washing up, he lay on the bed and looked at the documents. After Qin Xing came out of the bathroom, he saw Shen Zhen lying on the bed, completely uncaring of his appearance and just leaving his birdy out in the open.

Qin Xing couldn’t control his hand, propping one hand on the bed, and flicking the birdy with the other.

Shen Zhen quickly clamped his legs shut: “Uncle Qin, pay attention to your image.”

Qin Xing: “So it is uncle at this time?”

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Xing’s facial features, and his brain was a little dazed.

Qin Xing was too sexy, full of the charm of mature men. Unlike those middle-aged balding men, Qin Xing was fit and well maintained. His hairline was no different from young people. He was only in a bathrobe now but it was actually even more attractive then if he had nothing on, really giving him a half-covered seductive charm that really wore on one’s resistance.

Although they lived together for a month, Shen Zhen was busy dealing with Qin Xing during this time. After returning every day, he simply just washed up and slept.

The most they did was just sleep holding each other.

But after a week, Qin Xing went to sleep in the guest room.

Shen Zhen was a little nervous. He did not have an intimate relationship with another in his previous life and in this life. In his previous life, his sincere heart landed on a person like Qin Yue whose IQ had fallen. In this life, there was no time to date and be in a relationship. It took much courage to break through that layer of window paper with Qin Xing, but now Shen Zhen was feeling a little cowardly.

After all, Qin Xing had always been abstinent in his memory. He had not had intimate contact with anyone.

Don’t even talk about a lover, there was not even one who was even slightly close to him.

He was practically a walking Daoist priest.

Therefore, every time Shen Zhen thought of something that was inappropriated, he felt as if he was commiting blasphemy against Qin Xing.

“I’ll blow your hair for you.” In a fit of nerves, Shen Zhen ran directly to the bathroom to take out the hair dryer.

Qin Xing, who originally wanted to have a kiss, was stunned, and could only laugh and watch Shen Zhen run out. As expected, he really couldn’t hurry. They could just take it slowly. Anyway, he had time and patience.

Shen Zhen turned the hair dryer to the middle gear and slowly blew Qin Xing’s hair. Qin Xing’s hair was very dark and soft, just like the feeling Qin Xing’s appearance gave people. Those who were not familiar with him would always feel that he had a good temper.

As if he was born unable to get angry.

Only the people who were clear about his past knew that it wasn’t that Qin Xing did not know how to be angry. The main reason he looked gentle and mild tempered was that no one would be blind enough to go offend him.

If someone really didn’t have good eyesight, just what kind of end they would be met with could probably be guessed.

Shen Zhen thought randomly and asked, “Do you drink black sesame seed powder?”

Qin Xing did not hear clearly over the sound of the hair dryer, moreover Shen Zhen’s voice was not loud.

Shen Zhen: “I am praising your hair.”

Qin Xing laughed: “Lower your head.”

Shen Zhen lowered his head, and Qin Xing hooked his chin with his fingers.

Qin Xing: “With such a sweet mouth, I must taste how much honey you drank.”

Shen Zhen: “…..”

Why didn’t he discover that Qin Xing was actually an old hooligan before?

The best at camouflage was Qin Xing, no question.

“If Qin Yue begged you for help, will you help him?” After blowing his hair, Shen Zhen put the hair dryer on the cabinet on the side and asked Qin Xing a question filled with fatal traps.

Qin Xing: “It depends on your performance.”

Shen Zhen was inexplicable: “My performance?”

Qin Xing nodded, his eyes filled with a deep smile: “If you can coax me well, I won’t help him.”

Shen Zhen asked: “Then how can I coax you?”

Qin Xing: “It’s not difficult. For example, give me a morning kiss every morning, and give me a goodnight kiss at night. You also can’t not eat when I make tomato scrambled eggs.”

Shen Zhen replied without thinking: “The last condition is a no go.”

Eating tomato scrambled eggs every day, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control himself and dump Qin Xing.

Qin Xing pretended to sigh in sorrow: “And my requirement is so low…..”

Shen Zhen: “Change to another one, and I’ll promise you.”

Qin Xing: “Then you have to wear what I bought for you…..”

Shen Zhen quickly said, “Stop! Change to another one! This one is also a no!”

He remembered the fear that those big red lace panties filled him with.

Qin Xing sighed: “Xiao Zhen, this is a no and that’s a no, I’m also troubled.”

Shen Zhen leaned over and gave Qin Xing a two minute long deep kiss. Shen Zhen only separated when he felt that he was lacking oxygen. He asked, “Then is this fine?”

Qin Xing touched his chin: “Barely.”

Shen Zhen: “You said it, you won’t help Qin Yue.”

Qin Xing kissed him again: “Absolutely, if I do then Xiao Zhen can punish me however you like.”

Shen Zhen: “Without your help, Qin Yue will have to go back to the Qin family with his tails between his legs.”

Qin Xing held Shen Zhen in his arms and said lowly: “He made a lot of mistakes. And if he can’t figure out where he is wrong, I will not let him go back to the Qin family.”

Although he had killed Qin Yue once, it did not mean that he could also do the same now.

But looking at Qin Yue stuck in bad luck, this feeling was pretty good.

After being interrupted by Qin Xing, Shen Zhen’s documents couldn’t maintain his attention anymore. He got out of bed and found a clean pair of pajama pants and stood in front of the mirror as always. His abs came back a bit, but it still did not compare to his peak period, though his waist had become more slender. Although his waist was not thick before, it couldn’t be called slender either.

Now looking at himself, his figure had really gotten better.

Recently, he was taken by Qin Xing to work out.

The effect was not bad.

“Touching yourself in the mirror?” Qin Xing laughed on the bed behind, “How does it feel?”

Shen Zhen said without any shame: “Not bad, it feels quite good.”

When Shen Zhen returned to the bed, Qin Xing held Shen Zhen in his arms and buried his head in Shen Zhen’s neck.

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

Shen Zhen laid back on the bed, feeling that he might really need to nourish his kidneys.

Even though clearly they had not even come to the last step, why did it reach the point of needing to nourish the kidneys?

Men who have been vegetarians for too long a time could not be easily provoked. This was indeed a truth that made quite a lot of sense.
