Chapter 39 – Can I pray for you?

Xing Zhongwan really had no way to answer this question. The atmosphere in the ward was very awkward for a while. What could Xing Zhongwan do? Well, he never really thought that he would develop any special relationship with a man. If he doesn’t answer correctly, Qi Yun’s sad face will make him feel really distressed.

But now the most important thing was not to talk about his relationship with Qi Yun, but his eyes.

Xing Zhongwan thought for a while and his tone softened, “Can we discuss this issue after you finish the operation?”

 Qi Yun slowly turned his head, looked at the ceiling, and said after a long time, “Give me your hand!”

Xing Zhongwan was stunned. He stretched out his hand and Qi Yun grabbed it, rubbing the delicate skin with his fingertips and giving Xing Zhongwan goosebumps all over.

“It’s been a long time since I touched your hand.”

Hey! Xing Zhongwan felt like a cat with raised fur. Why are you so cringe?

Qi Yun closed his eyes and held Xing Zhongwan’s hand tightly, “Finally I can sleep well.” It was babbled out, but it made Xing Zhongwan feel a little sad.

He relaxed his whole body, “I’m right by your side, you can sleep in peace.”

After a while, Qi Yun’s steady breathing came and Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a while. He wanted to take his hand from Qi Yun. But when he tried to break free several times, he couldn’t pull it out, afraid that Qi Yun would wake up if he used a lot of strength. Xing Zhongwan yawned, lying helplessly beside Qi Yun’s hospital bed.

Outside the door, Chen Ying looked at the two with their hands clasped together with a complicated expression. After Xing Zhongwan’s absence these days, Qi Yun’s reaction made him uneasy. He became very haggard in just a few days.

Not talking, not eating and not cooperating with treatment, which caused him to be in this state these days. It was simply too different from Qi Yun in the past. In the past, Qi Yun was impeccable and one could hardly find his weakness. Now Xing Zhongwan was like a knife making a hole in Qi Yun’s protective shell. How deep the hole is now, only the parties involved knew.

The next day, Qi Yun was surprisingly calm. He was like a different person compared to the fragile one last night. Xing Zhongwan met his attending doctor and the two sides agreed on a time for the preliminary operation. Xing Zhongwan returned to the ward and opened the door to see Qi Yun sitting in a wheelchair with his back to him. The huge floor-to-ceiling glass reflected his pale face. face. Xing Zhongwan walked over and squatted down beside him, Qi Yun silently turned his head and smiled at him, “Have you talked to the doctor?”

Xing Zhongwan looked at him very carefully. Qi Yun was shining brightly in the sun, and the lots of anger he gave him disappeared. He was thinking that Qi Yun was actually scared. What the doctor said to him just now made his scalp go numb. Qi Yun himself also probably knew it as well.

Qi Yun has always been indifferent and detached with an aloof appearance. People who didn’t know him would think that he does not feel pain, sadness, or fear.

But Xing Zhongwan knew that Qi Yun would hang his head and eyes when he was at a loss, and that he would also wipe his eyes when water entered them while taking a bath. As long as he was shy, his ears would turn red first. In his eyes, Qi Yun was like a little hedgehog lying in front of you with thorns all over his body.

The heart-wrenching feeling tingled and seeped into his bones little by little.

“Qi Yun, you need to shave your hair. I don’t know if your head will look good after. Can you bear it if your head was bald?”

Xing Zhongwan wanted to crack a joke .

To make him happy, Qi Yun just turned his head slightly, facing him, with the corners of his mouth curved, “Wanwan, I still want to carry you into the Qi family’s house. I won’t die.”

Xing Zhongwan paused for a long time, not saying a word.

Qi Yun sat quietly. Those eyes were always out of focus on Xing Zhongwan’s body. If those eyes could see, how beautiful they would be.

Xing Zhongwan got up and grabbed Qi Yun’s wheelchair, “I’ll take you to a place.”

Xing Zhongwan took Qi Yun to the temple. They prayed and drew a slip. Xing Zhongwan found a master who understood the slip, which said good luck. Xing Zhongwan’s upturned eyebrows made Qi Yun’s entourage beside him dumbfounded. They lowered their heads and dared not look at the young madam.

“Qi Yun, congrats! You are sure to be fine.”

Qi Yun couldn’t help laughing when he heard the unmistakable joy in Xing Zhongwan’s voice, “You still believe in this?” Xing Zhongwan said, “It’s very effective. When I used to go back to Jiangnan every year, my mother would always bring me here. Ah, wait for me here.”

After speaking, Xing Zhongwan turned around and went inside. He found the master in the temple who gave out a safety-prayer lantern. He hoped that Qi Yun’s surgery would go well.

After coming out of the temple, Xing Zhongwan tied the red silk¹Usually obtainable in a temple. You can make a wish and then tie it somewhere. Usually on a big, old tree outside the temple compound. he had requested for on Qi Yun’s wrist. Qi Yun raised his hand, “What’s this?”

Xing Zhongwan pulled down his sleeve, “It will bring you good luck.”

Qi Yun tugged the soft ribbon on his wrist, “Thank you, Wanwan.

Xing Zhongwan walked behind him and pushed his wheelchair, “Let’s go back, what do you want to eat at night? I’ll make it for you.” 

Qi Yun thought about it carefully, “Chicken porridge.”

Xing Zhongwan said cheerfully, “No problem.”

Qi Yun looked to the front as the smile on the corner of his mouth faded gradually. He stroked the ribbon on his wrist and his eyes darkened. If I could pray for something, could I pray for you?

Qi Yun was discharged from the hospital. The operation is scheduled for half a month. The domestic and foreign teams will jointly perform the operation. Qi Yun has always been very calm, continuing his regular rehabilitation and taking medicine on time every day. On the other hand, it seemed like Xing Zhongwan was the one who was going to have the surgery and he always felt a little irritable. He was afraid every time Qi Yun would not feel well if he ate too little. He also was afraid that the food in his stomach would not be digested well if he ate too much. Even Qi Yun couldn’t help but ask him, Wanwan, what’s the matter with you?

Xing Zhongwan himself didn’t know what was wrong and this unreasonable irritability made him urgently need to find an outlet.

Coincidentally, someone was available.

Qi’s fourth young master was here. Ever since he knew that there was a woman by Qi Yun’s side, he had been eager to see what that woman looked like. He even dared ask for marriage in person, which caused his mother to be punished and grounded. Speaking of which, Qi Yun never cared about the women who were beside him or even the fiancee before his accident, who he had turned a blind eye to despite him sleeping with her so many times. Now that he had even taken the initiative to ask for marriage, how could Qi’s fourth young master not be curious? The more Qi Yun hid them, the more he wanted to meet that person. If he could snatch the person who put him in his heart, it would be fun. Only then would Qi’s fourth young master be happy.

It is not difficult to find out where Qi Yun was. As soon as he got the news, Qi’s fourth young master went there impatiently. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Xing Zhongwan lying on the reclining chair and sleeping in the morning. Xing Zhongwan’s scattered half-length hair was covered with a windbreaker and it looked like he had fallen asleep. Qi’s fourth young master walked over and lowered his head. His soul was about to fly, was this Qi Yun’s woman? Qi’s fourth young master was all excited. He lifted the hair on Xing Zhongwan’s face, but his entire person was stunned.

Xing Zhongwan suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, throwing Qi’s fourth young master heavily to the ground.

His long and narrow eyes were cold, “Who are you?”

Qi’s fourth young master was hurt and angry when he suddenly fell to the ground. He was stunned when he heard Xing Zhongwan’s voice. The beautiful person turned out to be a man?

T/N: Jfc, I know Qi’s fourth young master is a mouthful ²Not to be taken as a seggs joke oki, that person’s an azz. A fictional azz. But regardless, an azz. If you’re sick of reading that, imagine how I feel hahaha. Grr, that lil shithead !!! (っ-̶●̃益●̶̃)っI have no words to describe those kinds of people. Do they really exist in real live??

Chapter 38 – Is it so difficult to give me a chance?

After Xing Zhongwan and Professor Gao finished their phone call, he managed to learn more about Qi Yun’s current condition. All in all, the sooner the operation was performed, the better, and the risk to him would also be relatively smaller. They’ve organized a consultation recently so the results will be notified to them as soon as possible.

Xing Zhongwan put down the phone angrily, thinking about it. Cheng Zhengzhe stretched out his hand to him, “Return my phone to me!” 

Xing Zhongwan threw this phone to him in disgust as Cheng Zhengzhe pointed, “If your phone is broken, you should’ve bought a new one earlier. It’s inconvenient without a phone.”

Xing Zhongwan glanced at him, “Don’t nag me!” Cheng Zhengzhe stroked his long ponytail, “Actually, are you afraid that Qi Yun will call you?”

Xing Zhongwan slapped his forehead, “Next time, please dress normally. What’s the matter with you and Xue Qing? That woman wants to dress like a man, while you, a man, wants to dress like a woman. The two of you should just switch genders, it’ll save my head from hurting.”

Cheng Zhengzhe was unhappy, “I was talking about Qi Yun. Don’t change the topic to me. Don’t run away.”

Xing Zhongwan got up, looked back and raised his eyes , “Hurry and bring them back.”

Cheng Zhengzhe smiled and raised his chin, “Then what about you and Qi Yun. Judging from how you are, you won’t leave until he is finished with his surgery. If you want to, why don’t you also take him with you. If that’s the case, Qi Yun would also… Hey! Why are you hitting me?!”

Cheng Zhengzhe covered his head, and when he looked up, Xing Zhongwan had already disappeared through the doors of the restaurant.

In the Qi Family Buddhist Hall, Madam Qi was copying Buddhist scriptures. She was banned by Qi Zongcheng from going out. Madam Qi put the copies aside to dry when the door opened and a young man came in.

“Mom, grandpa was just saying it only. He won’t really stay mad at you. If I beg him a little, he will also give me this face.”

After speaking, the young man turned around and was about to leave.

“Come back!” Madam Qi picked up the brush and didn’t look up, “Don’t go. Just stay with me. Be quiet these few days and don’t cause me trouble.”

The Qi’s fourth young master sat down in front of Madam Qi, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?” You suddenly became so afraid of things. Are you really afraid that Qi Yun, that blind man, will fail you?”

Madam Qi raised her head displeased, “He’s your eldest brother. How can you call him by his first name? If you were to be heard by someone who has the heart to tell your grandfather, you won’t be able to beg your way out of anything!”

Qi’s fourth young master put his hands on the desk with a nonchalant expression,”It’s already been said. But besides me, which grandson of my grandfather is more qualified than me? Should I count on those illegitimate children who can’t even make it to the table?

Madam Qi looked in front of her with a smile on her face. He couldn’tt do anything right, but her fourth young child’s appearance was very much like her’s. She deeply wrinkled her brows. He really was a useless dunce, but unfortunately now he was the only son she could rely on.

“You have to listen to me. Lay low these days. Also, have you checked your girlfriend’s background? I warn you, it’s okay to play, don’t get into a serious relationship and don’t let others take advantage of you.”

Qi’s fourth young master stretched lazily, “Don’t worry, I know what I should do. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now.”

Madam Qi waved her hand impatiently as Qi’s fourth young master went out the door lazily. When he saw Old Hu, he narrowed his eyes and asked, “I heard that there is a woman beside my brother? “

Old Hu stood on the side respectfully. He knew very well what kind of person this fourth young master was.

“It’s the illegitimate son of the Xing family who can’t even make it to the table, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Qi’s fourth young master touched his chin. There is a woman beside Qi Yun. This will be fun. Last time, the Qiu family’s daughter died before he had enough fun, so this time he was going to meet this person. He is very interested in Qi Yun’s things.

Xing Zhongwan personally escorted Cheng Zhengzhe to his plane. Cheng Zhengzhe threw him a new mobile phone before leaving, with the card already replaced. Xing Zhongwan took it and turned on the phone with a blank face. After leaving the airport, he got into the car. Before leaving the airport expressway, the phone rang. After looking at it, Xing Zhongwan hesitated for a while, before finally picking it up.

Chen Ying’s voice on the other end of the phone was a little tired, “Young madam, you finally answered the phone. Young Master Yun fainted and was sent to the hospital… I’ve been observing him in the hospital for three day. The situation… It’s not very good. Look, are you coming back…?”

Xing Zhongwan’s hand holding the steering wheel gradually tightened, “I’ll be right back. Which hospital is he in?”

It was late at night when Xing Zhongwan arrived at the hospital. Chen Ying was waiting for him at the hospital door and Xing Zhongwan followed him. He walked quickly to Qi Yun’s ward and hesitated for a moment while holding the door handle, before finally opening the door and walking in.

Qi Yun lay on the bed, covered with a thin blanket. Xing Zhongwan approached him to take a look. Qi Yun was thin and haggard, his lips were chapped and his eyes were closed. He seemed to be asleep.

Xing Zhongwan moved a chair closer and sat down beside the bed. As soon as he sat down, Qi Yun opened his eyes, “Is it Wanwan?”

Xing Zhongwan almost slipped down, “Sometimes I really think you aren’t blind at all!”

Qi Yun turned his head and those visionless eyes were bloodshot, “I recognize the smell on your body.”

Xing Zhongwan looked at him awkwardly and suddenly became speechless. He got up and poured a glass of water, “Do you want to drink water?” As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly recalled that glass of water he drank from that night…

Xing Zhongwan coughed awkwardly as Qi Yun shook his head, “I’m sorry, Wanwan.”

Xing Zhongwan put the water glass aside, “Don’t say that. When are you going to have the surgery? Chen Ying told me that in your current situation, it is best to operate as soon as possible. I have also contacted Professor Gao, and her opinion is also…”

“Wanwan, are you still angry with me?”

Xing Zhongwan felt like his throat was pressed on and the words in his mouth were choked back inside. He seemed to have forgotten how stubborn Qi Yun was.

“It’s already happened so what use is it for me to get angry. Also, it’s not your fault, although you are indeed in the wrong! Oh, what am I talking about! You can forget what happened that night, I’m now discussing your condition, Qi Yun! This is very important!”

Qi Yun turned his head, and the color on his face deteriorated even more, “For me, nothing is more important than you!”

Xing Zhongwan seems to have been drained of all his strength and had no idea what to do, “Okay, then I’ll make it clear. We’re all adults and we slept together, OK, but so what?”

Xing Zhongwan’s words made Qi Yun turn his head and after a while, his body began to shrink and tremble, “We just slept together. In your opinion, is that such a light relationship?”

Xing Zhongwan frowned irritably. Qi Yun’s sad and disappointed tone made him feel distressed. Xing Zhongwan was irritable, so he got up, “Then what do you want from me?”

From his direction, he couldn’t see Qi Yun’s face as he was hiding behind the shadow, but he thinks that Qi Yun must’ve closed his eyes now and his face should be pale.

After a long time, Qi Yun’s voice sounded from the silence, “Give me a chance, is it so difficult?”

T/N: Owo!! What did you think of yesterday’s update where the FINALLY papapa in chapter 35? ASDF, now I know some of yall hate that shit. But its fiction okay? Plus I’m seriously asking, how many of yall have actually read a crippled papapa scene in BL. Too bad it was so short-lived lol cos Qi Yun came to fast. Even if it was short, it was surprisingly one of the more longer chapters of Forced into the Deep…

Chapter 37 – My Wanwan is mad!

As soon as Xing Zhongwan finished shouting, all the people in the car had their mouths sealed shut. To be honest, after so many years, no one has seen the young master lose his huge temper before, the young master in their eyes always smiled, how could there be such a vicious spirit in him? Xing Zhongwan took a deep breath, “Turn your heads away from me!”

The two next to him and the passenger in the passenger car immediately looked out the window while the other looked down at his computer. Only the driver was left, and he cried without shedding any tears. Young master, where should I look?

Xing Zhongwan covered his forehead, “You better drive well.” After speaking, he picked up the phone, “Chen Ying, if you have something to say, hurry the f-ck up. I have no time for this bullshit!”

One second passed, before two seconds passed… and there was only the sound of shallow breathing entering Xing Zhongwan’s ears through the speaker.

Xing Zhongwan frowned and took a deep breath, “Qi Yun?” There was still no voice on the other end of the phone and Xing Zhongwan’s anger, which had not gone down yet, came back little by little again.

“Where are you?” A hoarse voice pierced into Xing Zhongwan’s ears.

Xing Zhongwan pursed his lips, I don’t want to talk, what else should I say to you!

“Wanwan, where are you? I’ll come to find you!” Qi Yun’s voice was a little flustered.

Xing Zhongwan swallowed his saliva to moisten his dry throat, “I still have something to do and I don’t want to see you for the time being. Let’s just leave it at that, I’m hanging up!”

“Don’t hang up!” Qi Yun felt a little rushed, he choked out, “Will you come back, Wanwan? I was wrong!”

Xing Zhongwan’s hand holding the phone was already red from the force of his grip, “Let me have my peace of mind.” After finishing his sentence, Xing Zhongwan hung up and threw his phone to the other side of the car window. The screen shattered and the loud noise made the other three people in the car tremble and dare not speak.

Xing Zhongwan put his hand in his hair and breathed a sigh of relief, “Get ready and go back to the head office. We can’t leave any more people in the country, Qi Zongcheng will come over and pick up the traces sooner or later.”

Xing Zhongwan looked down at the wasted phone before raising his foot and slamming it down.

In the boxing gym, Xing Zhongwan tied his hands with bandages and his whole body was wet with sweat. He punched the sandbag and with each punch, that desperate appearance made the coaches around him feel a little flustered.

“If you don’t rest for a while and continue like this, the sandbags will get punctured.”

Xing Zhongwan wiped the sweat from his face, brushed his sweaty hair and glanced at him, then hooked his fingers, “You! Come and fight!” 

In the huge boxing gym, there was only the sound of heavy breathing, the sound of flesh hitting each other and the sound of impact which made one’s back go cold. The coach was knocked to the ground again and Xing Zhongwan turned to the side with a sullen face and beckoned the other boxers standing around, “All at once!”

The door of the boxing gym was opened and the crisp sound of high heels sounded. A clear and charming voice said, “That’s enough. If you beat them up again, they will all resign.”

The person wore a high ponytail, had rich makeup and was wearing a dark black suit with high-waisted trousers that made her figure seem even more tall and straight.

The person who arrived waved at several boxers, “Get off the ring. Can’t you see that the boss is in a bad mood? You’ll all be broken one by one, isn’t that stupid?

Xing Zhongwan glanced at him with a look of indifference, “What did you come?”

Cheng Zhengzhe threw the bag in his hand aside and turned over to the boxing ring, “Can I not come? If I don’t come, the lifeline we hid in the country will soon be exposed. Laozing, what happened to make you use this lifeline to find Madam Qi’s weakness? It’s not like you.”

Xing Zhongwan untied the bandage on his hand and threw it aside as Cheng Zhengzhe grabbed the bottled water on the side and threw it over to him, “Xue Qing is on a business trip. I also still have a lot of things on the other side, but as soon as I got the news, I flew over without my luggage. Then, as soon as I came, I saw you venting your anger. If you are angry, vent at the right person. Do you realize that they are innocent? You’ve beaten them up so much that their eyes are already swollen.”

Xing Zhongwan sullenly took a sip of water, “Speak normally! You’re so annoying.”

Cheng Zhengzhe took off his suit, showing his sturdy arms before he took the bottled water on the side.

“What’s the matter? Tell me the truth.” He used a very clear male voice as he didn’t want to offend Xing Zhongwan this time.

Xing Zhongwan stretched his legs and kicked the bandage by his feet all away, “I was topped by Qi Yun!”

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Cheng Zhengzhe almost choked to death and it took him a while to calm down, “What did you say!?”

Xing Zhongwan slapped him on the forehead, “Don’t pretend to not hear me!” 

Cheng Zhengzhe wiped his mouth, “Isn’t Qi Yun disabled? How did he top you?” 

A trace of embarrassment flashed by Xing Zhongwan’s face and Cheng Zhengzhe’s face changed greatly, “I’ll take a guess. You climbed on him on your own!

Xing Zhongwan got up and pretended that he wanted to fight. Cheng Zhengzhe quickly ran to the other side, “This doesn’t make sense. Even if you are hungry and thirsty, you won’t force a disabled person.” 

Xing Zhongwan’s face turned pale and he suddenly sat down. After calming down, he was a little decadent, “I was drugged.”

Cheng Zhengzhe’s mind buffered for a thousand times before it finally became clear, “Qi Yun’s mother drugged him but you were the one who unfortunately drew the short end of the stick. After that, you gave in to your fit of anger and went to dig something nasty regarding Madam Qi and even brought the matter to Qi Zongcheng. However, Qi Yun, the initiator, didn’t even receive your revenge. This doesn’t fit your character, Laoxing. Let me think about it, someone in high school grabbed your butt, so you stuck a rolling pin in their chrysanthemum¹Euphemism for butthole lol. Do you remember? Besides…”

Xing Zhongwan sighed and Cheng Zhengzhe closed his mouth immediately before his face turned serious in seconds, “Do you like Qi Yun?”

Xing Zhongwan didn’t speak.

Cheng Zhengzhe sat next to him, intending to have a heartfelt talk with him: “Seriously, the matter regarding your mother is over. You can let go now so why are you still siding with Qi Yun? The Shen family has already intervened so no one can hurt him. You have done your best to contact the doctor, so what else do you have to give up?”

Xing Zhongwan turned over and buried his face, “His surgery is very dangerous, I think…” 

Cheng Zhengzhe’s eyes flashed, “If anything goes wrong with his surgery, what does it have to do with you if he dies on the operating table? You, Xing Zhongwan, don’t owe him anything. Laoxing, this really isn’t your style. If someone else wronged you, you used to be able to shave even their bones. This time, you even used the secret lifeline to show up his mother. It is obvious that you don’t want to see Qi Yun being bullied. Now, you’re all hidden away, punching the sandbag all by yourself. Is this still you? Just admit it, you have been caught. You are in love with Qi Yun!” 

Xing Zhongwan’s mind went blank. You are in love with Qi Yun! 

He could not refute those words pointed directly at his heart and raised his hand to punch the edge of the ring heavily. 

Cheng Zhengzhe really saw through him. He guessed it right, there’s no pretending anymore!

“That’s enough. Let’s go for dinner, I have not eaten after getting off the plane. Please treat me to a big meal!”

“I’m not going, my butt hurts!”

Cheng Zhengzhe almost slapped the table, but unfortunately there was a glass case on top, “Why didn’t I see your butt hurting just now as you beat four of them? I only asked you to treat me to dinner and you become a paraplegic. I don’t care, if you want to act like a spoiled child, find your man to do it with! Hurry up!”

After speaking, he pulled up Xing Zhongwan, who was like a dead fish,

“Then you carry me.” Xing Zhongwan’s eyes were cold. Cheng Zhengzhe’s rolled his eyes at the sky, before squatting down, “Come on, come on. I really am like an old mother.”

Xing Zhongwan didn’t not hesitate at all. He jumped up and was caught by Cheng Zhengzhe steadily, “Eat first. Then, you will have the strength to understand it when you are full. You are Xing Zhongwan. What arduous challenges have you not faced? Isn’t it just your chrysanthemum being ripped open? Hey!! Don’t pull my ears!”

Xing Zhongwan groped Cheng Zhengzhe’s chest area, “You should go get a bigger breast implant.” 

Cheng Zhengzhe’s turned to him with a face as thought Zing Zhongwan had been ignorant and living under a rock, “There are new products, such as inflatable bras in the D cups! Hey, don’t poke it, it’s going to explode! Damn it! Xing Zhongwan, one will become big and the other will become small!”

Qi’s family, Qi Zongcheng threw a stack of documents in front of Madam Qi’s face, “Guan Yang²Madam Qi’s name.. I thought you were a smart person but I didn’t expect you to do such a stupid thing! You even let Qi Yun marry a man in a fake marriage. If the media found out about this, what would become of my Qi family’s image?!”

Madam Qi was as pale as ash. She picked up a few copies that were thrown on the ground. How could Qi Zongcheng know the secret of this matter? An astonishing revelation popped into her mind.

Qi Zongcheng had gray hair but. Although he was old, because the literati was born with a scholarly temperament, his face still looked elegant despite being full of anger.

“You actually left your child, Qi Yun, in such a deteriotary way. If the information office hadn’t stopped it, the news would have been published today! Guan Yang, I am too indulgent to you. Even if Qi Yun never got your favour or love, he is still your own son. You actually did such a thing! My Qi family was almost ended by you!”

Madam Qi knelt in front of Qi Zongcheng with tears on her face, “Father, I was wrong. I’m also anxious, seeing the fourth young master’s body improving. I wanted him to stay, so I…”

Qi Zongcheng waved his hand, “I still don’t know what you’re thinking. You still fancy the Shen family’s social standing, and it has made you confused! Guan Yang! What is the Shen family and what type of person Shen Qinghong is. Get your head together and think clearly! Cancel all your plans and think about that behind closed doors at home!”

Madam Qi lowered her head and wept silently. Qi Zongcheng slammed the door. Madam Qi changed to a sullen face and slowly wiped the tears from her face.

He was actually caught in Qi Yun’s trick! At that time, why didn’t she think of why he had to marry Xing Zhongwan and why did he pretend to not know that he was a man. Turns out they were waiting for this. Although Qi Zongcheng was not a good person, he is interested in his reputation. Although it has no legal effect, this fake marriage certificate will cause his reputation to take a big hit.

Madam Qi pursed her red lips. My good son, you are so calculating. I underestimated you!

Qi Yun put on his coat and instructed Chen Ying to take him downstairs. Chen Ying hesitated, “Master Yun, now is not the best time to return.The Qi family is in chaos now. You managed to find an excuse to escape, going back now is not worth the risk.”

Qi Yun closed his eyes as a gust of wind passed. There was a still the faint scent of Xing Zhongwan’s body in the room, “What is the news there?”

Chen Ying pushed on his glasses. Qi Yun’s eyes were full of dark circles after he answered Xing Zhongwan’s call. Qi Yun seemed to become more haggard after that, “Young madam went to see your mother and her subordinates reported that Madam Qi was the one who was taken away by Mr. Qi.”

Qi Yun opened his eyes, “It was Wanwan, he told the news to my grandfather.”

Qi Yun’s expression was complicated but strangely relaxed. Wanwan should still care more about himself.

Chen Ying was a little worried. He wasn’t sure what method the young madam used to reveal the news to the media and even deliberately let the senior officials of the information office know so that they would definitely halt the manuscript for the sake of Qi Zongcheng’s image. He did it on purpose! He deliberately made Qi Zongcheng dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law, to sow discord.

Did they really not need to check his details carefully? Was he really just the illegitimate child of the Xing family?

“I have to bring him back. He must be mad at me.”

There was a hint of sadness in Qi Yun’s words. Chen Ying couldn’t help but comfort him, “Don’t worry, the young madam will definitely come back.”

Qi Yun clutched his increasingly aching head, “No, I’ll bring him back in person. Chen Ying, you!”

Before Qi Yun finished speaking, a severe pain struck him and his vision turned black.

T/N: Sorry for talking about something heavy in the previous chapter. I thought every one should know what to do just in case. It’s always better to be well-informed, even if something like that may never happen ^^

Also, it seems like Wanwan is finally coming to his senses!! Prepare for more sweet moments in the future before (you saw this coming!) more disaster strikes!! Hehe, as your dear friend I will ask you to prepare some popcorn if you enjoy snacking on some spicy, spicy drama ufufufu. Plus, is it just me or are we SO SO SO GLAD that Madam Qi finally got her desserts? I mean, come on! You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes! How could she even have the audacity to treat her son (and future son-in-law) like that?? Grrr, mothers who disregard their children always make me so sad ( ˘︹˘ )

Chapter 36 – Don’t bother me

When Xing Zhongwan woke up, his head hurt so badly. He almost didn’t know who he was, where he was, and what he did. He was so frightened by the strange feeling under him that he almost lost his soul.

He stretched out his hand in disbelief and the redish-white viscous liquid made his head go blank. He looked down at himself and looked at Qi Yun, who was still sleeping. His face turned blue slowly as Xing Zhongwan’s back molars rattled, resisting the urge to stretch out his hand to strangle the person under him before staggering into the bathroom.

Xing Zhongwan stood in front of the mirror and turned on the faucet before splashing the cold water on his face, making his chaotic mind instantly sober up. Xing Zhongwan forced himself to calm down and think hard about what happened yesterday.

He was afraid that the woman around Qi Yun would do unbearable things to Qi Yun so he flew to Jiangnan overnight. Then, he found Qi Yun had been drugged. Qi Yun said that he wanted to drink water, so he poured him a glass of water but also drank it himself…

Then… Xing Zhongwan punched the mirror hard. The mirror broke apart. That’s right, it was that glass of water. There was something wrong with the water.

Xing Zhongwan lowered his head and looked at his bleeding right hand. What the hell was wrong with him?

Xing Zhongwan was very annoyed by the tingling feeling behind him, but it was now useless to beat up Qi Yun. What happened has already happened so no matter what, he couldn’t cover up the fact that he was r4p3d by Qi Yun.     

Xing Zhongwan cleaned himself, changed into clean clothes, and walked out of the room with a sullen face. As soon as he walked out of the door, Chen Ying followed him, “Where is the young madam going?”

Chen Ying followed closely, “Young madam, young master Yun ordered you not to leave…”

Before Chen Ying finished speaking, Xing Zhongwan turned around and punched him in the face. The tall man was thrown off. Turning over on the ground, his glasses were broken on the ground and Chen Ying rubbed his bleeding nose as he stood up reluctantly, “Young madam…”

Xing Zhongwan got into a car after he opened the door and glared at him, “Don’t follow me if you don’t want to die! “The car sped away and the entourage on the side hurried forward to help Chen Ying. Chen Ying spat blood on the ground and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Xing Zhongwan booked the nearest flight and flew back. The fire in his heart was about to set him alight. The scene this morning felt like a little bit of gravel grinding on his heart. It was extremely uncomfortable. After getting off the plane, someone was waiting at the exit immediately and he was handed an itinerary, “Master, this is Madam Qi’s plans for today, you…”

Xing Zhongwan motioned him not to say more, “We don’t need it anymore. Come forward and don’t let the Qi family see you.”

“Yes…”

Xing Zhongwan wore sunglasses on his face. His eyes had dark circles, and his face was ugly. He closed his eyes but his mind was in chaos, unable to calm down.

Madam Qi had plans to attend a birthday party today which will be held in an hour and a half. Xing Zhongwan pushed open the door of the cafe, and Madam Qi smiled with a cup in her hand, “You’ve arrived?”

Xing Zhongwan took off his sunglasses and sat down in front of Madam Qi, “Is Qi Yun not your own son? How could you still do it? He is a human, not some breeding stock!”

Madam Qi put down the cup and beckoned for the waiter to bring Xing Zhongwan a cup of coffee. “Come on. Try it, the coffee here is very famous.”

Xing Zhongwan pushed the cup away and looked at the light-hearted woman in front of him, feeling disgusted.

“Are you here to ask me to spare Qi Yun of his guilt? Go ask him what he promised me in order to marry you. He said he would give me a child for your sake. Don’t tell me you don’t know what my son’s intentions towards you are?”

Xing Zhongwan said with a sullen face, “Then what do you want to do? To drug Qi Yun and send women to him until he gives you a child?”

Madam Qi hooked her fingers. The slender finger stopped at the back of Xing Zhongwan’s hand, “Regarding my son… For your sake, he could hardly care what might happen to him. Just look at your face. While Qi Yun is blind, he is still so fascinated by you. If he could see what you looked like in the future, perhaps he might even tear down the heavens for your sake!”

Xing Zhongwan withdrew his hand calmly. He felt disgusted as though a snake just spat its venomous speech at him.

“You know I would come to you. What’s your motive?” Xing Zhongwan leaned back in the chair and looked at the woman in front of him coldly. That face that was 7 over 8 times similar to Qi Yun’s made the wound on his backside start to ache again.

“You are very capable, Xing Zhongwan. I wanted to keep you but since the bracelet is on you, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep you. It’s a pity for such a beautiful face.” Madam Qi stared at Xing Zhongwan. The bracelet on Wanwan’s wrist was what Mrs. Qi left behind the Shen family. She could never allow the man in front of her to have it. The old woman has won against her all her life and even left behind countermeasures after her death. She even had a hidden will. When she thought of the contents of that will, Madam Qi was so excited that she couldn’t even hold her elegant appearance.

“So what do you want?” Xing Zhongwan took out a cigarette from his pocket, took one out and put it in his mouth.

Madam Qi frowned, “Xing Zhongwan, who made you so unlucky. Qi Yun took a fancy to you and even gave you the bracelet. If you want someone to blame, you can only blame heaven’s injustice!”

Xing Zhongwan sneered as he narrowed his eyes at Madam Qi’s distorted face. She swallowed as his gaze was reflected in her eyes, “So, are you going to kill me? I’ll wait. I’d like to see how you are going to get rid of me!”

Madam Qi squinted her eyes slightly and waved her hand behind her. After a while, the expected person did not come out. Madam Qi felt that something was wrong. Xing Zhongwan got up and looked around impatiently, “Your people won’t come. No one can stop me, Xing Zhongwan if I want to leave and no one can drive me away if I want to stay!”

Madam Qi lost her anger and raised her hand, “You unreasonable boy.”

She slapped Xing Zhongwan on the face and Xing Zhongwan tilted his head, his eyes flushed with blood, “Madam Qi, don’t think I dare not hit a woman!”

“You!” Madam Qi raised her hand and aimed it downwards again, but she was caught by Xing Zhongwan. Madam Qi’s face was pale as she looked at Xing Zhongwan, “You are just a bastard. The illegitimate child who was expelled from the Xing family. You dare to speak to me like that?!”

Xing Zhongwan shook off her hand mercilessly. Suddenly, a group of people poured in from the door. Two of them took the lead, to hold up Madam Qi from both sides, “Madam, the master wants you to go back.”

Madam Qi opened her eyes wide, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes, “Father? How did father know?”

Xing Zhongwan licked the wound on his lip that was broken by Madam Qi and turned around without looking at the woman in front of him. After passing through the door, someone stepped forward immediately, “Mr. Xing, our master wants to see you.”

Xing Zhongwan snorted coldly, “I don’t want to see your Qi family. And tell Mr. Qi to take better care of his household. Don’t let his family members with ulterior motives to carry out such humiliating things!”

Xing Zhongwan left the cafe and took a deep breath. Damn, he let himself care about other’s matters again!

A car stopped in front of him, Xing Zhongwan got into the car. He was really tired, his head hurts, and his butt hurts! Qi Yun, if only you weren’t crippled. I really wanted to hack you to death! I’m really mad, so I’ll vent my anger out on your mother. What else can I do? If you are like that, I can’t beat you. If I scold you, you will only pretend to be pitiful. I can only come to your mother! I’m furious!

Xing Zhongwan covered his face with his hands when the phone rang. Xing Zhongwan was so annoyed that he declined it before he even looked at it. It sounded again after a while. Xing Zhongwan was so annoyed that he took it out and saw that it was Chen Ying. He shouted, “Don’t bother me!”

It was almost noon when Qi Yun woke up. The affair last night was a little hard on his current body. He opened his eyes and subconsciously moved towards the other side but it was cold. Qi Yun panicked and called out to Chen Ying. The door was opened and Chen Ying walked in quickly, “Master Yun?”

“What happened to Wanwan?” Qi Yun struggled to straighten his upper body so Chen Ying helped him up, “Young madam, young madam is gone…”

Qi Yun suddenly lost his voice. A breeze from outside the window blew on Qi Yun’s icy face. He sat there stiffly as Chen Ying stood aside and dared not speak.

Qi Yun closed his eyes. It’s not like he didn’t think about what would happen after Wanwan woke up, but it has already happened. Qi Yun couldn’t help but feel pain in his heart. The pain made him feel like even breathing was painful. But did he regret it? Qi Yun opened his eyes. No, absolutely not.

“Chen Ying, call Wanwan. Now! Immediately, at once!”

Chen Ying responded. He took out his mobile phone quickly, but it declined even after a few calls. Chen Ying looked embarrassedly, “Master Yun, this…”

Qi Yun clenched his hands tightly, “Continue to call him until the call is received.”

He had no choice. Chen Ying could only continue to call and when the call connected, Chen Ying handed the phone to Qi Yun. Qi Yun still did not speak, as there was a roar from the other end: Don’t bother me!

Qi Yun’s hand trembled while holding the phone, his face was as dark as charcoal.

T/N: Huhuhu, Wanwan is so tsundere… Don’t worry Qi Yun, your hubby will be back soon. He can’t seem to leave you alone after all.

Also, please note this is just a work of fiction. r4p3 in real life is bad, and fetishizing r4p3 is not too healthy (in my opinion), but everyone has their preferences.

PSA. Most people do not know what to do after they become a victim of sexual assault, and its always best to first and foremost, call the local authorities or visit your nearest medical centre/ hospital for a r4p3 kit so they can collect evidence if there is any bodily fluid or hair remaining. It can be traumatizing or even shameful to do so (and you may feel like you want to wash yourself and get rid of any trace of what has happened), but that will leave you with the best chance at catching the perpetrator and ensure this doesn’t happen to you again. In doing so, you may also prevent more victims like yourself. It may be hard but I’m there with you every step of the way if you require the courage to report your case.

AND always remember, if you didn’t consent to it or were not of a sober state of mind, IT IS A CRIME for the other person to engage with you. You did not do anything wrong so do not be afraid to report them.

Of course, touchwood and I hope nothing this inhuman ever happens to any of you. If you know anyone who’s been afflicted, it’s best to give them space and be supportive whenever they need it ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

Chapter 35 – You are finally mine!

Xing Zhongwan stood in front of his mother’s new tomb for a long time until some raindrops fell from the sky and his clothes became wet. Xing Zhongwan sighed, picked up the wine glass on the side and sprinkled the wine in front of his mother’s tomb. The corners of his reddish eyes were raised slightly and a slight smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, “You finally got your wish.”

Welcoming his mother’s tablet into the Xing family ancestral hall, Xing Zhengping’s face was calm as he stared coldly at the door. Xing Zhongwan knelt down, kowtowed solemnly, and put on a stick of incense. The things that have been on my mind for many years have finally come to an end. Standing up and walking to the door, he smiled at the unwilling Xing Zhengping, “Thank you father, for your deeds.”

Xing Zhengping snorted coldly and turned away. Xing Zhongwan with his medium-length hair looked up at the sky in the yard before looking back at the ancestral hall. He seemed to see his mother standing there smiling.

As he was leaving, Xing Zhongwan looked around quietly before he turned back, took a deep breath and left the Xing family without any memories left to reminisce.

The deafening music in the bar was full of people’s voices. Xing Zhongwan didn’t know how much he drank as people came over from time to time. Xing Zhongwan was not in the mood to flirt and chase after others. At this time, his phone rang. Xing Zhongwan squinted and glanced at it before throwing it aside. Who would have thought that the phone would ring again. If he didn’t answer them, would they continue to call? Xing Zhongwan was irritated as he picked up the phone and walked into the relatively quiet aisle vainly.

“What’s the matter?”

Xue Qing frowned, “Laoxing, where are you? Are you still drinking at the bar today on your mother’s big day?”

“I’m happy for my mother. Can’t I celebrate? What the hell do you want to say? Say it!”

Xing Zhongwan was a little overwhelmed and his head was aching faintly.

Xue Qing was stunned for a moment and her voice became serious in seconds, “Laoxing, my informant in China got news that Shen Qinghong seems to be in poor health and the Shen family is about to change hands!”

Xing Zhongwan replied casually, “So what?”

“I heard that the Qi family has been very unhappy recently. I have no idea where the fourth young master hooked up with a woman. But it’s not important who this woman is. The important thing is that this woman sells drugs! This can be ignored. Let’s talk about another thing, Shen Qinghong’s health problem is definitely not short-lived since it’s been so well concealed. Why did it suddenly come out at this time? Don’t you think it’s strange? Or did someone deliberately leak it? What is their purpose? It is currently unknown, but there will be a person who won’t be able to sit still and that is Qi Yun’s mother.”

Xing Zhongwan was suddenly sober now, “What did you say?”

On the other side, Xue Qing took a deep breath, “Originally this matter had nothing to do with us so we didn’t need to intervene. However, you are by Qi Yun’s side now so we have to pay attention. Laoxing, I have thought about this matter. I feel this news was released on purpose. If Shen Qinghong is seriously ill, who will the heir of the Shen family be?! This was an intentional move by someone to force Madam Qi to make a move! It probably had something to do with the bad relationship between Madam Qi and Qi Yun. Was she likely to let Qi Yun hold the power of the Shen family? The Shen family in Qingyuan with more than half of the domestic sea, land and air transportation routes in their hands? As long as Qi Yun takes his place, Madam Qi probably won’t be able to even sleep. Well, she can’t move Shen Qinghong so she can only start with Qi Yun! Hey… Hey! Laoxing, are you listening? Hey!”

Xing Zhongwan didn’t have time to hang up the phone in his hand as he threw a handful of money on his seat. There was simply no time to put on his coat. There is a time bomb beside Qi Yun. That woman!

The more Xing Zhongwan thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. He called Chen Ying while walking but the line was always busy.

Xing Zhongwan glanced at the time and saw that there were no more air tickets.

After getting in the car, he went around the city center and got on the expressway. The hands that held the steering wheel were sweating. Xing Zhongwan glanced at his face in the rearview mirror and saw a pale face. He looked like someone who had just escaped from hell that was full of ghosts. The scene of Qi Yun holding the rose suddenly flashed into his mind and Xing Zhongwan felt a pain in his heart. He hit the steering wheels and the car stopped on the side of the road. His entire person leaned on the steering wheel and gasped for breath. Xing Zhongwan’s eyes were eyes as he dialed on his phone. 

“Help me make the arrangements. I want to fly to Jiangnan.”

The person on the phone was obviously a little surprised, “Young master? Yes, but such a sudden movement will definitely alert the Shen family. After all, the air traffic control bureau is there.”

Xing Zhongwan gritted his teeth, “No need to worry about that matter. Arrange it as soon as possible.” 

The other end of the phone replied respectfully.

Xing Zhongwan was lying on his back on the seat. Qi Yun, Qi Yun, you really dragged me deeper and deeper. Why can’t you let me live in peace?

Around this time, Qi Yun was kneeling in front of a shivering woman. Qi Yun held up the cup in his hand, “What did you put in it?” The clear and indifferent voice made the woman kneeling on the ground cry profusely. “Third young master, please let me go. The madam asked me to do this. If I don’t do it, my family… family…”

Qi Yun handed the cup to Chen Ying, “Let me ask you. What’s in the water? What is it!?” 

The woman slumped to the ground and her pink dress was soaked, “I-It’s…****. The madam said that as long as I am pregnant with your child, my family will be spared. Third young master, I was wrong. I don’t dare anymore… Please let me go.”

The thumping sound of the woman’s kowtow made Qi Yun frown.

“Is it harmful to the body?” The woman’s kowtow stopped. She was a little puzzled as she raised her head but did not dare to look at Qi Yun.

Chen Ying said with a sullen face, “The young master asked you something!” 

The woman quickly lowered her head, “There should be… there should be none.”

Qi Yun curled his lips, “Take out all the drugs in your hands.”

“Y-Yes!” The woman took out an inconspicuous little cloth bag from her pocket. Chen Ying took it and opened it to take a look.

“Regarding today’s affairs, you should just let it rot in your stomach. Otherwise, I won’t mind finding someone to sew your mouth shut.”

“Yes!” The woman was paralyzed on the ground in fright and couldn’t move at all. Chen Ying called someone in to drag her out.

Qi Yun stretched out his hand and Chen Ying hesitated for a moment.

The drug was handed over to him, “Young master?”

Qi Yun fiddled with the small cloth bag in his hand, “You all should leave. Wanwan will be back soon.”

Chen Ying’s face showed a strange look, “Young master, I will take the drug and destroy it.”

Qi Yun put one hand on his forehead, “My mother planned out such a dramatic event. How could I disappoint her? Whatever, I have to meet her expectations!”

When Xing Zhongwan stepped out of a private jet, it was already six o’clock in the morning on the plane. After that, he got into the car and sped across the highway non-stop for an hour before arriving at the resort where Qi Yun was located. Xing Zhongwan opened the car door and told them to leave first. He ran into the house quickly and went up to the second floor. As soon as he opened the door, Xing Zhongwan saw a disheveled woman saddled on Qi Yun’s body. Xing Zhongwan didn’t have time to think about it. He pulled the woman off Qi Yun’s body, pulled a blanket from one side and threw it on top of her, “Get out of here!” The woman glanced at Qi Yun in horror before crawling out of the room.

Xing Zhongwan pulled Qi Yun’s clothes off and asked him carefully, “Qi Yun, how are you? Do you feel any discomfort?”

Qi Yun’s face was flushed and he was panting heavily. Even his breath was very hot. Zhongwan raised his hand to touch his forehead and it was so hot that Xing Zhongwan wanted to get him a towel but he was pulled by Qi Yun, “Wanwan, don’t go!”

Xing Zhongwan patted his back, “I’m not leaving, I’ll go get you a towel.” When turning around, he accidentally bumped into Qi Yun’s lower body, the hard touch made Xing Zhongwan turn pale, “What did she give you? Qi Yun?”

Qi Yun gasped, lying on Xing Zhongwan’s shoulder while rubbing against him unbearably. Even without Qi Yun answering, Xing Zhongwan knew that Qi Yun had been drugged, but he didn’t expect Madam. Qi to be able to do something like this to her own son. A gloomy look flashed in his eyes, “Qi Yun, I’ll take you to the hospital. You can’t be like this. Let’s go to the hospital.” After speaking, he wanted to get up and go to the cabinet to get his coat but Qi Yun hugged his waist tightly. Xing Zhongwan was in a hurry, “Qi Yun, let go, I’m going to take you to the hospital. Who knows if this medicine will do any harm to your body.”

Xing Zhongwan was in a hurry and he was about to get angry after seeing that Qi Yun’s back was soaked with sweat.

“I want to drink water, Wanwan. Can you pour me a glass of water?” 

When Xing Zhongwan heard this, he went downstairs and poured water for him. Qi Yun took a sip and suddenly coughed violently. 

Xing Zhongwan took a sip of the cup in confusion, “It’s not hot anymore, do you still want to drink it?”

Qi Yun shook his head so Xing Zhongwan simply raised his head and drank the water in the cup. Worrying about Qi Yun, he was so thirsty that he didn’t even get a sip of water. Putting the empty cup aside, he went to the bathroom to get a towel and took off Qi Yun’s clothes to wipe off his sweat, “Where’s Chen Ying? He didn’t even answer his phone. Where did he go? Didn’t I already tell him to take good care of you?” 

While speaking, Qi Yun was already panting and wrapped his arms around Xing Zhongwan’s neck. His vibrant red mouth panted as he searched for Xing Zhongwan’s mouth without any restraint. Xing Zhongwan pushed him away, “What are you doing? Don’t tell me when you’re in heat. I’ll take you to the hospital… um…” 

His mouth was blocked by Qi Yun and a pair of cold hands reached into Xing Zhongwan’s shirt and caressed him unbearably. Xing Zhongwan grabbed his hand, “Qi Yun. Clear your head.”

Qi Yun’s eyes were bloodshot. Those unfocused eyes opened pitifully, “Wanwan, I’m very sure that I want you!” As he said that, his skillful tongue touched Xing Zhongwan’s neck for a moment. Now Xing Zhongwan was one shrinking back as a stream of heat rushed under him. He actually got hard.

Taking advantage of Xing Zhongwan’s shock, Qi Yun unbuttoned Xing Zhongwan’s shirt. His hands slid along his beautifully-shaped abdominal muscles. On his waist, Xing Zhongwan was wearing a pair of sweatpants with drawstrings, so the protruding hardness of his lower body was not obscured. Qi Yun stretched his hand into Xing Zhongwan’s trousers and grabbed his already raised device through his underwear. Xing Zhongwan grabbed Qi Yun’s hand and said, “What are you doing?” There was a feeling of heat coming from the depths of his body as he spoke. His question came out a little coquettish so Qi Yun bit Xing Zhongwan’s earlobe, “Be good Wanwan and come to me.” As he spoke, he had already pulled down his sweatpants, revealing half of his firm, snow-white hips.

There was a rational voice in Xing Zhongwan’s mind telling him that this was impossible to go through with, but the heat in the depths of his body made him unable to control his body. He was so hot that he couldn’t take it anymore. Xing Zhongwan simply took off his clothes, lifted the quilt and sat on Qi Yun’s hips. Qi Yun’s lower body contained that straight and beautiful thing that was standing upright. He guided Xing Zhongwan to sit on his lower half. With one hand, he rubbed the head, which had been standing up for a long time because of the excitement. His other hand stretched out his hand towards Xing Zhongwan’s impatiently.

Xing Zhongwan was very hot. He was really hot and that kind of heat made people want to pour a bucket of ice water over himself. The coolness on Qi Yun’s body made him feel very comfortable as soon as he got close. He hugged Qi Yun’s neck and the feeling of skin to skin made him moan.

Qi Yun put his hand under the pillow and quickly found a tube of lubricant. He unscrewed the cap and put a good amount in his hand before patting Xing Zhongwan’s butt, “Wanwan, lift your ass.”

Xing Zhongwan’s mind was already blurry so he raised his butt according to his instinct. Something cold and hard entered his body behind him so he opened his eyes slightly. His eyes were cloudy, but his front was hard and uncomfortable and he couldn’t control himself. He wanted more so he grabbed his own device and started pumping it. It was comfortable and felt even better. Xing Zhongwan stretched out his neck and rode on Qi Yun’s lower half, moving little by little with the rhythm of his fingers behind him. Qi Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His own device was already hard and painful. He put his fingers into Xing Zhongwan’s tight and soft entrance. The sound of the lubricating fluid stimulated his eardrums. When he pulled out, he was sucked tightly, and Qi Yun couldn’t hold it in anymore.

He whispered in Xing Zhongwan’s ear, “Wanwan, I’m sorry, it will hurt a little.” 

He pulled out his fingers and held the already hard tool, before pressing it against Xing Zhongwan’s soft entrance. 

While kissing Xing Zhongwan’s temple, he softly coaxed: “Wanwan, be good and sit down on your own.”

Xing Zhongwan only felt that there was something hot and hard against him, after those two fingers were replaced behind him. Gently moving, the initial discomfort slowly turned into pleasure. The sudden departure of his fingers made him feel a little empty and the voice was very nice so Xing Zhongwan climbed onto Qi Yun’s waist and sat down obediently. Little by little, the small hole was opened and the lubricating fluid was squeezed out, dripping out little by little on Qi Yun’s crotch. While the crystal clear liquid fell among the dark hairs, it looked very erotic. Xing Zhongwan opened his eyes and frowned, “It hurts!”

Qi Yun rubbed his waist and kissed his sweaty face, “It won’t hurt in a bit, baby, sit down a little longer.”

Qi Yun endured with his whole body. He was all sweaty, only the head just went in, but the feeling of tightness and heat made his whole body numb. It was not enough, he wanted more.

Xing Zhongwan was halfway in, but he was crying out that he was unwilling. Qi Yun kissed the corner of his mouth and ruthlessly pressed against his waist. As he was forced inside, Qi Yun’s tool penetrated Xing Zhongwan. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help shouting as he cried out  in pain. A chill went down Qi Yun’s spine as he was numb with pleasure. He couldn’t help grasping Xing Zhongwan’s buttocks and lifting him up, “Wanwan, move.”

There were tears in Xing Zhongwan’s eyes. After the pain between his thighs passed, there was a rustling itch. He couldn’t help but lift his buttocks slightly. Qi Yun couldn’t help but groan. He couldn’t bear it any longer and patted Xing Zhongwan’s buttocks, “Move, Wanwan.”

Xing Zhongwan clung on to Qi Yun’s back and twisted his buttocks a little bit at first, but in the end he finally got used to it and kept moving up and down vigorously. Qi Yun’s hands gripped his waist tightly, leaving a bluish red scratch mark on his snow-white waist.

That kind of pleasure was something Qi Yun had never felt before. As Xing Zhongwan moved his waist, his upturned device pressed against Qi Yun’s abdomen and the viscous liquid seeping from the front made Qi Yun’s abdomen a mess. Qi Yun grasped Xing Zhongwan’s wet device, which was in urgent need of shooting. As it was held, he felt comfortably stuffy. With a groan, he couldn’t help but speed up the movements under him. Qi Yun’s device was tightly sucked by Xing Zhongwan’s small hole, and something came out little by little which was swallowed inside.

Qi Yun’s lustful eyes were flushed and he couldn’t help it. As Xing Zhongwan’s heavy movements quickened, Qi Yun shot and a turbid white liquid flowed out of Qi Yun’s crotch before slowly moving along the intersection of the two. Qi Yun gasped and touched Xing Zhongwan’s back, Xing Zhongwan said vaguely, “So quickly?!”

Qi Yun’s face was flushed and he lightly rubbed it against Xing Zhongwan’s sweaty forehead, “It will feel better in the future.” The two of them lay down slowly in the same position they had sex in and Qi Yun’s weak tool slipped out of Xing Zhongwan’s small, swollen hole. The red and swollen little entrance looked pitiful. Qi Yun pulled the quilt on one side to cover both of them and Xing Zhongwan’s steady breathing came from his body not long afterward.

Qi Yun rubbed his sweaty back and felt some satisfaction that he had never had before in his life, which made his whole heart burst.

“Wanwan, you are finally mine.”

Not far from the door, Chen Ying frowned. One didn’t need to think much to know about what was going on inside. The woman on the side had been knocked unconscious. Chen Ying turned around and went downstairs, ordering an entourage to take the woman away. A group of people exited the house and stood in the open space not far away. The development of current affairs went out of Chen Ying’s control.

Around this time, some around brought his mobile phone to him, “Mr. Chen, the chairman’s calling you.”

Chen Ying took it and there was a woman’s cough on the other end of the phone.

“I heard that last night’s story was very exciting?”

Chen Ying was silent.

Shen Qinghong coughed a few times and flipped through the sheets of paper in front of her, “I thought it was all part of Yun’er’s game, but I also discovered something unexpected.”

Chen Ying took the phone to a quiet place where no one was, “Chairman, your body still needs more rest. I will take care of these things.”

Shen Qinghong snorted, “I’m afraid it’s far beyond your ability, Chen Ying. Look at Yun’er, don’t let him play around too much. The person beside him isn’t simple.”

Shen Qinghong hung up the phone. After coughing a few more times, she picked up a few pieces of paper on the table again. After hiding it for so many years, he finally showed his tail.

Mr. Xing was really behind, but this backhand was a little unexpected. Yun’er, was the man beside you that same child?

T/N: Hey! Sorry for the delay~ Just been busy with life, but now I’m back!!

As an apology, here’s a few more chapters for my dear readers~ Also expect more chapters tomorrow and next week as we near the season finale!

I’m so excited~ They finally did the thing, but seems like Xing Zhongwan is not too happy AT ALL to get his chrysanthemum opened lol. ≧◉◡◉≦

Chapter 34 – Can’t you like me a little too?

Chen Ying pushed Qi Yun into the room. Closing his eyes, Qi Yun then allowed him to walk out. After waiting for the other to walk away, Qi Yun opened his eyes and rubbed his aching forehead. His headaches have been getting worse recently. It seems that the surgery must be done as soon as possible.

Suddenly a pair of warm hands touched Qi Yun’s forehead. Qi Yun suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the hand of the person who came, “Who are you?” 

The cold voice made the person behind Qi Yun pause for a moment while the severe pain in her hand made her cry out, “Third…Third young master …I…I, I…I’ll wait for you…To wash up…”

Qi Yun violently shook off the woman’s hand, “Go away!”

The woman’s frightened voice was unsteady, “Third young master, I…”

“Go away! If you make me say it again, you are going to leave the door sideways¹Usually people walk upright. To leave side ways is like being carried out on an EMT stretcher. Not in a very good condition, I bet.!” 

The woman lowered her head and cried softly before walking out from the door in a panic, bumping into Xing Zhongwan who just came back. He raised his head and glanced at her red, tear-stained face.

Xing Zhongwan was confused and pointed in the direction the woman ran away, “What’s wrong with her?”

Qi Yun said with a dark face, “She said she wanted to bathe me!”

Xing Zhongwan was stunned, but he couldn’t help but start laughing, “Hahaha, that’s so lively, third young master. Can’t help that you’re too attractive.”

Qi Yun’s face became even worse, “You’re still smiling? Come here quickly. I want to take a shower.”

Xing Zhongwan smiled, closed the door, and went to the closet to get him a change of clothes, “I have something to tell you. I will fly back in two days as there are some things I have to do. I will come back when I am done.”

Qi Yun couldn’t react for a while, “You want to leave?”

Xing Zhongwan put his clothes on the bed, “Yes, it will be very soon, and I will be back as soon as I can.”

Qi Yun’s voice was a little muffled, “Can you tell me what’s going on?”

Xing Zhongwan walked up to him and squatted down, “I want to take my mother’s ashes back.” Qi Yun was startled for a bit, but then the expression on his face relaxed, “Do you need my help? I mean, it’s almost Qingming ²An annual day for grave-sweeping. We prepare a lot of food that the deceased liked. There must traditionally be a roast chicken, and chinese wine. We also burn paper money (hell currency) and pray to give our respects.and I also want to go to your mother’s place to pay my respects.”

Xing Zhongwan smiled, “No, I’ve already arranged everything.”

Qi Yun turned his head and said ok as he listened. He could see Xing Zhongwan’s refusal to bring him although he did not clearly say it in words. He did not want him to be involved in his family affairs, and therefore still did not accept Qi Yun fundamentally. Qi Yun gradually tightened his hands on both sides of the wheelchair. Xing Zhongwan saw him tense up his body and knew that he was not happy again so he patiently said to him,

“I’m very glad that you want to help me, but I want to solve my mother’s affairs on my own. Another thing, on the days when I’m not here, you have to let Chen Ying pay more attention and not let this kind of thing happen again. I don’t want that woman’s belly to get bigger when I come back.”

His joke made Qi Yun’s face turn dark instantly, “What do you think of me as, am I so… so…”

This inexplicably aggrieved tone made Xing Zhongwan laugh, “Oh, it’s not good to joke with you. Just look at you in a panic. Let’s go take a shower.” 

The bathroom was specially remodeled for Qi Yun. With Qi Yun now sitting stably. Xing Zhongwan took the bath lotion and applied it on him. Looking at the red patches on his body, he thought that they would turn dark again tomorrow.

“Don’t train too hard. Take it step by step. You can’t be impatient. The doctors say you’ve made great progress. And that’s amazing, Qi Yun.”

Qi Yun grabbed Xing Zhongwan’s hand holding the bath towel, “If I don’t hurry up, what should I do when you run away?” 

Xing Zhongwan was suddenly caught and the hand that was on his legs suddenly stopped moving. Qi Yun’s hair was wet and his lips were rosy as the crystalline water droplets ran down his face beautifully. It dribbled from his eyebrows down his blushing lips, along the bridge if his beautifully sculpted nose. Xing Zhongwan looked dumbfounded. When he realized it, he wanted to shake Qi Yun’s hand of, but he didn’t. Qi Yun kissed his lips as Xing Zhongwan looked at his turbid eyes. When he suddenly stopped responding, his lips were slightly opened so Qi Yun took advantage of it. His tongue nimbly penetrated Xing Zhongwan’s mouth and lightly licked the inside of his cool mouth. Xing Zhongwan’s felt like his entire body had been electrocuted. Qi Yun’s kiss was actually very amateurish and it faintly felt like a child who just tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time after cautiously approaching his sweetheart. When Qi Yun left Xing Zhongwan’s lips, a thin silver thread hung between those bright red lips. Xing Zhongwan asked in a daze, “What are you doing?”

Qi Yun held his face with both hands like he was holding treasure, “I’m kissing you, Wanwan, I like you, do you like me?”

As though there was thunder that suddenly hit the ground around them, Xing Zhongwan suddenly snapped out of it. He threw away the bath towel in his hand and wanted to leave but was pulled back by Qi Yun. But because his center of gravity was unstable, Xing Zhongwan fell into the bathtub with a splash. Xing Zhongwan said angrily, “Qi Yun, you are crazy!”

While speaking, Qi Yun had already sealed his lips and grabbed his hand to feel his already hardening crotch. As if had just been pricked with poison, Xing Zhongwan quickly retracted his hand but was held down by Qi Yun, who sucked Xing Zhongwan’s lips and tongue with a force that seemed like it was going to swallow him whole. Xing Zhongwan was afraid of hurting him so he didn’t dare to exert any force. The two of them were entangled in the bathtub and soaked all over. 

Xing Zhongwan sat astride Qi Yun’s waist. As Qi Yun’s hardened member rubbed at Xing Zhongwan, who was wearing thin sweatpants that were soaked, it was easy for a man to react when he was rubbed on his sensitive parts in the same way when he is not wearing pants. Xing Zhongwan became hard. Qi Yun stuck his tongue deep into Xing Zhongwan’s throat, holding his firm buttocks tightly with both hands. Xing Zhongwan thrusted up hard against his abdomen and Qi Yun was stunned but he became even more excited so his hands gripped his abdomen more tightly. He couldn’t help but shift it down and tighten his grip. Xing Zhongwan paused before pushing Qi Yun away abruptly and slapping him in the face.

There was a crisp sound and Qi Yun was shocked. Xing Zhongwan came out of the bathtub panting. The redness on his face gradually faded as he opened the bathroom door and went out without saying a word.

Qi Yun sat in the water. His eyes gradually turned red. Was it still impossible? Impossible for us both? Wanwan! He closed his eyes and slammed his fist into the water.

Xing Zhongwan leaned against the door and breathed slowly to calm down as he watched himself slowly become soft. He slapped his own cold cheeks. Xing Zhongwan didn’t dare think of what would have happened if he hadn’t slapped him.

He took off his clothes and threw them on the ground before changing into a random one from the closet. He sat on the bed with a chaotic state of mind. He didn’t know how long he sat down for until he suddenly remembered that Qi Yun was still in the bathroom. Quickly, he got up to look for Qi Yun.

Qi Yun sat dazedly in the cold water. Xing Zhongwan carried him out without saying a word and wrapped him in a dry towel. Qi Yun’s body was as cold as a dead person’s.

Xing Zhongwan was a little remorseful. Even if he was angry, he couldn’t just leave a patient in the bathtub. He quickly helped Qi Yun change into clean clothes but saw that he was still shaking. Xing Zhongwan’s bitter heartache came back after seeing his pale lips and thin body shaking, so he simply hugged Qi Yun as the two of them laid down. He wrapped himself in the quilt and wrapped his own feet around Qi Yun’s cold legs to keep him warm.

Seeing Qi Yun’s cheeks quickly swell up as the two were under the covers, Xing Zhongwan suddenly regretted it.

Qi Yun whispered, “I’m sorry. I was too impatient.”

Xing Zhongwan was speechless. He was really angry, but even if he really wanted to scold and beat him, he couldn’t do anything. He was helpless so he only sighed, “It’s hard for me to do this.”

Qi Yun raised his hand and put his arms around his neck, “I just like you, Wanwan, can’t you like me a little too?”

Xing Zhongwan was silent…

That night, Qi Yun had a high fever and it took two days for him to recover. His face became skinny quickly and he looked extremely haggard. Chen Ying was always looking at Xing Zhongwan very strangely these days. The large handprint from the slap on Qi Yun’s face could be seen by everyone. In addition to that, Qi Yun even developed an inexplicable fever.

Xing Zhongwan was extremely depressed. Fortunately, Qi Yun soon recovered from the fever and there was news from Uncle Zhong again.

The day had been chosen and Xing Zhongwan was also too embarrassed to stay with Qi Yun, so he just flew back to reclaim the f-cking ashes.

When Qi Yun woke up, Xing Zhongwan had already boarded a private jet.

He stared blankly at the ceiling and didn’t eat for a whole morning. Chen Ying had no choice but to tell him that the young madam left a message when he left, and that he would be back in at most two days so he should eat well and keep his body healthy. Only then did he get up to eat some porridge.

Chen Ying looked at Qi Yun worriedly. Xing Zhongwan carried more weight in Qi Yun’s heart than he thought.

Although the old lady asked him to follow the owner of the bracelet before she died, to put it bluntly, she meant to follow Qi Yun, but hey… why was the young madam not a woman!

On the day that Xing Zhongwan left, Qi Yun didn’t say a word and looked as if his soul had been called back to heaven.

Qi Yun recalled the time his grandmother died when he was still young. At the time, he had just returned to his mother’s side. His biological mother was like a stranger to him. At that time, he still had fantasies about maternal love and wanted to try to reconcile and repair the bond that he had been missing for more than ten years. On his mother’s birthday, Qi Yun personally made a gift and planned to give it to her but when he met the fourth young master Qi on the way and the other insisted that he wanted his bird. Qi Yun refused as it was given to him by his grandmother. The two stood in front of their mother, his mother said lightly, “He is your younger brother so you should give it to him. It’s just a bird.”

Qi Yun held the gift behind him tightly in his palm, his sweat wetting the paper a little bit, making the handwriting inside a little blurry.

“Also, in the future, don’t come here when there’s nothing important, I’m busy.”

Qi Yun gave her mother a long look, and saw the fourth young master, Qi looking at him arrogantly.

Qi Yun went back without saying a word, tearing up the gift in his hand and burning it to ashes. The bird was drowned in the water by his own hands.

Since then, his mother’s eyes have only grown colder and colder.

Qi Yun pulled himself away from the past and suddenly opened his eyes. If he couldn’t keep what he liked, he would rather destroy it.

If you like something, you can only fight to get it for yourself, and you have to always try your best to get it. This is what Qi Yun has known since he was a child.

The door of the room was gently pushed open and a figure walked in, “Third young master, I’ll wash you up and take care of you.”

A stern look flashed in Qi Yun’s eyes, “Come in.”

T/N: I cackled a bit too much when Qi Yun said he was going to send the poor girl out sideways… Jeez, even so, I know it’s not too excessive, what he said. I think you’ll agree with me after reading the next few chapters hehe ^^

Chapter 33 – Wanwan, have a good dream!

Qi Yun’s room was on the second floor of the small building. The room was not big, but it was cozy. There was a problem. In this small room, where should Xing Zhongwan sleep?

Xing Zhongwan was about to ask Qi Yun whether he should move downstairs, but before he could say anything, Qi Yun patted his bed and motioned for him to sleep with him.

Xing Zhongwan’s entire being rejected the idea, “How about I set up a small bed at the door of your room so you can call me over if there was anything?”

Qi Yun, who was patting the bed, stopped. His face was sullen, “Why sleep by the door? Other’s will laugh. Do you still want to sleep in a separate room from me with your current identity?”

Three question marks appeared in Xing Zhongwan’s head, Identity? What was my status now? Wasn’t that just a fake marriage?

To treat it so seriously?

Qi Yun turned his face away silently, “I know you hate me because I can’t see, and because my legs are still crippled.” Xing Zhongwan hurriedly interrupted him, “What are you talking about? How could I possibly think that? I’ll take a shower first, jeez.”

As Xing Zhongwan turned around and went downstairs to get his luggage, Qi Yun turned his head and there was a little smugness on his face. Wanwan, so you are amenable to coaxing.

Xing Zhongwan came out of the bathroom wiping his half-dried hair and put on a pair of pajama pants loosely on his lower body. Xing Zhongwan always slept in the nude. However, this was only because there was also another person in the room who only wore a pair of trousers. Whether the other wore those pairs of trousers or not, it was no different than if he did not wear them when they were hanging loosely by his crotch, about to fall off.

Xing Zhongwan threw the towel away and looked at Qi Yun who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. After thinking about it, he took out his pajama shirt and put them on before pulling up his pants and walking to the bed.

There was only one bed!?

Xing Zhongwan felt like going to get another bed. As soon as he turned around, Qi Yun on the bed opened his eyes, “What are you doing? It’s very late.I have physical rehabilitation early tomorrow so I have to rest well.”

Xing Zhongwan frowned, “I’m going to get another quilt or else I won’t sleep well at night. I’ll steal your quilt too.”

“You slept well last time, so we don’t have to use different quilts.”

Qi Yun said it so naturally.

Slept well? It was a good thing that you were not suffocated by Laozi.

“There are not many quilts left right now. Everyone else has gone to bed, so let’s talk about it tomorrow!”

I really don’t believe that your Qi family failed to bring a single quilt for me! Xing Zhongwan went to bed reluctantly. He lifted the quilt and lay on the edge of the bed. Closing his eyes, he was trying to hypnotize himself to sleep when Qi Yun’s hand suddenly reached out and touched his arm, “Come a little closer, it’s a little cold.”

Xing Zhongwan saw that it wasn’t just a little cold. The windows were so wide open that if it wasn’t a little cold, it would be weird.

He got up and was about to close the window but Qi Yun put his arm around him and said good night.

Xing Zhongwan froze up immediately. Qi Yun was hugging him so he couldn’t get up to close the window. He could only close his eyes resignedly, and Xing Zhongwan who had been hard at work the entire day soon became drowsy.

Jiangnan in March and April was still a little cold when the cool wind blew at night. Xing Zhongwan subconsciously leaned towards Qi Yun’s side. It was very warm. He turned over and hugged Qi Yun, his legs subconsciously hooking him by the waist. He buried his head between Qi Yun’s neck. As his warm breath touched Qi Yun’s sensitive skin, Qi Yun opened his eyes and placed his hand around Xing Zhongwan’s back. It was a good thing that Chen Ying opened the window ahead of time. You see, didn’t he come up to hug him on his own?

Qi Yun turned his face and kissed Xing Zhongwan’s forehead. Wanwan, have a good dream!

Qi Yun was training inside and it was rare that Xing Zhongwan was not allowed to watch. Xing Zhongwan wondered for a while, before I was only allowed to stand by the door, but now I was not even allowed to watch? That man’s heart is not easy to understand. It was a good thing too, he now finally has some personal time of his own. Xing Zhongwan hummed a little song and asked Chen Ying for the car keys so he could go out to play.

In the physical rehabilitation room, Qi Yun struggled to support his body. He was sweating profusely and his weak legs were struggling to take another step. Chen Ying watched from the side, a little puzzled, “Master Yun, the young madam drove out.”

Qi Yun gritted his teeth and replied with an ‘en’, Chen Ying suddenly didn’t know what else to say.

“I don’t want him to see my ugly appearance. It’s better for someone of Wanwan’s attitude who can’t stay idle to go out and relax. Watching me all day long will also bore him.”

Chen Ying was surprised. When did Qi Yun become so sympathetic?

“How’s that going?”

Chen Ying stood up straight and said solemnly, “The fourth young master Qi really likes the gift we gave him. We will be able to reel in the nets soon.”

Qi Yun nodded in satisfaction, “That’s good. It was not in vain for me to have escaped here. My mother probably didn’t expect for the disputes and conflicts to occur internally.”

Qi Yun exerted a little too much force and his entire body suddenly fell down. Chen Ying was startled and hurried up to help him but Qi Yun Yun stretched out his hand to signal for him not to come forward.

“How’s it goin on my mother’s side?”

Chen Ying retracted his hands, “Madam Qi’s side has been silent for a while but the person I sent out reported that she intends to contact the chairman privately.”

Qi Yun snorted coldly, “She really is willing to cause trouble to others when she has no one else to turn to! Considering that woman she brought in, I’m afraid she can’t wait anymore.”

Chen Ying responded, looking at Qi Yun’s tired face and couldn’t help but try to persuade him, “Master Yun, please take a rest.”

Qi Yun’s face was cold, “No, let the doctor in.”

Xing Zhongwan drove to the city and parked the car in a parking lot before taking a taxi to the suburbs that was more than an hour away from the city. Uncle Zhong was already waiting for Xing Zhongwan at the door.

“Master, it’s been a long time, this old man thinks of you a lot.”

Uncle Zhong was an old man with gray hair and a small stature. His originally amiable face was overshadowed by a ruthless, long scar on his face.

Xing Zhongwan put his arms around him, “Think about what you said. Didn’t I come to see you just two months ago? Since then, how is that a long time?” 

The smile on Uncle Zhong’s face bloomed, but his scary-looking face became more and more odd, “Come in, this old man made your favorite white water shrimp.”

Xing Zhongwan smiled, “I was waiting for you to say that.”

After dinner, Xing Zhongwan took a whiff of the tea he was drinking. Appreciating the leisurely fragrance of tea, he said, “The most fragrant tea is still the one that’s grown at home.”

Uncle Zhong said with a smile, “When the new tea leaves comes out, I’ll bring it for you and also give Mr. Cheng and Miss Xue to try.”

Xing Zhongwan said, “They look forward to this every year, Uncle Zhong. I will leave my mother’s affairs to you.”

Uncle Zhong’s face suddenly lost his smile, “Don’t worry, Madam’s affairs can’t be delayed, the master over there cannot be trusted. I’ll arrange for it as soon as possible. Master, hurry up and retrieve the ashes of the madam back.”

After speaking, old uncle Zhong’s wrinkled eyes filled with tears, “The madam can finally return to her home. After so many years, how lonely it must be for madam to be here alone.” 

The old man stretched out his sleeves and wiped away his tears, Xing Zhongwan put his arms around his shoulders, “Oh, don’t cry. Are you inviting me to cry with you? It’s a good thing that my mother can go back. Why are you still sad?”

Uncle Zhong wiped away his tears and raised his head to look at Xing Zhongwan who was smiling in front of him, “Master, the older you become, the more you look like the master. Your personality was also so similar to his when he was young.”

Xing Zhongwan was taken aback, “That can’t be. I grew up beaten by that old man’s stick, how can I not be like him?”

Uncle Zhong’s eyes flashed with a complex emotion, but it was only for a moment.

“Young master, you are close to the Qi family now, but don’t implicate yourself. The Qi family are very good at treating others differently based on their social status. When the master was still alive, Qi Zongcheng cheekily came to ask for his son’s marriage partner. Qi Zhongcheng was even willing to accept that kind of daughter born from Xing Zhengping. They are the kind of people who are willing to marry anyone for the sake of profit by any means. Although his grandson is disabled now, he was a ruthless person back then. The young master has been wronged for the sake of the young lady. After settling the young lady’s matter, the young master must get out as soon as possible.”

Xing Zhongwan thought, Get out early. He didn’t know how many times he’s thought about it, but now…

Thinking of Qi Yun’s side profile as he slept peacefully while leaning on him when he woke up this morning, he couldn’t tell him that he was going to leave early. He’ll wait for Qi Yun to finish the operation, then he will really leave. By then, the kindness he gave will be repaid. If he didn’t leave… Xing Zhongwan sighed while covering his pained chest.

Old Uncle Zhong called out to the young master a few times but Xing Zhongwan didn’t respond. He couldn’t help but wonder as he stretched out his hand and nudged him, “Young Master, is this something difficult to do?”

Xing Zhongwan finally recovered and said hurriedly, “You should also leave with me this time. I’ll worry if you’re going to stay in the countryside alone.”

Uncle Zhong shook his head, “I’m already old, so I want to guard this old house. This was also my promise to the master. As long as Xing’s old house is here, this old man will be here too. There are many old things belonging to the master in the house. I often take them out to wash and dry them. When one day I can’t do it anymore and die of old age, then young master can bury my ashes under the peach tree in the yard.”

Xing Zhongwan’s eyes were getting red. As he looked up at the old Xing family’s house which was still standing after withstanding the day-by-day weather as well as the old servant who has already grown old but was still loyal. Grandpa, was this the Xing family’s character you often talked about?

As Xing Zhongwan left the old house, Uncle Zhong stood by the door watching Xing Zhongwan’s back disappear gradually. He then turned to close the door and muttered to himself, “Master, the young master has become calmer. This is good, so you must be happy. This old man knows that you must be very happy. The young madam will also return soon so don’t be angry with her anymore. You must treat her well!”    

T/N: When the elderly talk like that in stories, it makes me feel a little nostalgic. I feel sad too, but they’ve probably also had their fair share of time and already lived their life. Only slowly passing the days by peacefully to reminisce about the long by-gone past and cherish the memories that in the past, many others also shared with them while they were still truly alive, and younger.
