Chapter 32 – Really

 

Xing Zhongwan was standing at the door of the Supervisory Committee as he paced back and forth. Cheng Zhengzhe was getting dizzy, “Can’t you just leave? If you can’t stop, just get in the car and sit.”

 

Xing Zhongwan stared at him fiercely, “I haven’t had the time to settle accounts with you about your affairs. After I’m less busy, we’ll slowly figure it out.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe’s back turned cold and he froze immediately.

 

Xue Qing returned to Country X and replaced him. Before leaving, she prayed and left some blessings for him so Cheng Zhengzhe knew that the matter was exposed.

 

After the video was broadcasted, Qi Yun was taken away by the Supervisory Committee before Xing Zhongwan recovered from his tense emotions. Although it was only a routine procedure and Qi Yun told him not to worry, Xing Zhongwan couldn’t calm down. At this time, Xie Yi gave him a call, “Let Cheng Zhengzhe come back to replace Xue Qing![/mfn]It was mentioned very early on that Cheng Zhengzhe was scared to work in China as Zhong Gang (who had a crush on him) was there too[/mfn]“

 

Xie Yi had also told him all the senior management asked the big boss for double the benefits on their wedding day. Xing Zhongwan was angry as all his friends turned on him. Even for his own wedding, he was about to become bald.

 

Cheng Zhengzhe walked with his high-heeled shoes as his long ponytail shook side to side, “Don’t be nervous. It’s just the standard operating procedure. If I didn’t know better, you look like someone who’s going to say goodbye. Hey! Young master, don’t pull my hair! It’s going to fall out, it’s going to fall out! Yes… ouch, oh my goodness…”

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at him with disgust, “Why are you dressed like this again? Can you be normal? What if Qi Yun comes out and gets scared to death later?”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe: …

 

“Your Qi Yun is no short of crazy too. I am nothing in his eyes. I thought I would be safe if I’m wearing this. After all, Zhong Gang is obsessed with me. Do you think it is easy for me to accompany you while being wary of him?”

 

Xing Zhongwan patted him on the forehead, “Please don’t accompany me.” As he was talking, the door of the Supervisory Commitee’s room opened. Qi Yun shook hands with someone at the door and someone patted Qi Yun on the shoulder. A trace of curiosity flashed on Xing Zhongwan’s face as he looked at the person behind Qi Yun.

 

Qi Yun turned around and smiled at Xing Zhongwan, “Wanwan, we’re going home.”

 

Xing Zhongwan saw the smile on his face and his heart was completely relieved. Turning back into the car, he took out a thick coat and dr4p3d it over him before wrapping a scarf around him too.

 

Qi Yun looked at Xing Zhongwan who was putting gloves on him with a funny look. For the first time, he realized what it felt like when your wife thought that you were cold.

 

Cheng Zhengzhe on the side was stunned and lifted his leg in stockings, “I’m cold too, why don’t you care about me.”

 

Only then did Qi Yun notice Cheng Zhengzhe standing beside Xing Zhongwan. He was slightly taken aback, “Mr. Cheng is very beautiful.” When the words came out, Xing Zhongwan interrupted him and pulled him into the car, “Don’t look at that thing, it’ll dirty your eyes.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe was annoyed, “What do you mean dirty your eyes? Look at my long legs and buttocks. You have no taste.”

 

Xing Zhongwan turned back leisurely, “Zhong Gang has taste. Go show yourself in front of him. Do you dare?”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe was as quiet as a chicken immediately, he really didn’t dare.

 

Along the way, Xing Zhongwan, who had been restless for three days, was surprisingly calm. He was sitting upright in the car and staring straight ahead when Qi Yun stretched out his hand and placed his hand on his knee. It was cold.

 

Qi Yun sighed softly, “I’m fine.”

 

Xing Zhongwan carefully looked him up and down several times before reaching out and hugging his neck, saying “I know.”

 

Qi Yun stroked Xing Zhongwan’s back, knowing that this incident really scared him.

 

“I’m okay, it’s just standard procedure. I can’t go abroad for three years and must follow the supervision order. During this time, I must report to the Supervision Committee regularly. I already promised you that I would not let myself get into an accident.”

 

Xing Zhongwan let go of him. Suddenly, he raised his hand and squeezed his face, “You have everything planned, right? What benefits did you give to the General Manager? You sold the entire Qi family for your own freedom. I’m afraid even the General Manager is laughing, even in his dreams. Is this what you planned? I don’t believe it.”

 

Qi Yun touched his temples as Xing Zhongwan let go. He was looking at Qi Yun’s red and distressed face.

 

“I didn’t want to let them go so easily, but like what you said in Xishan, I can’t fight with them anymore. I have to take myself out of it without paying a price. Fortunately, I succeeded.”

 

Xing Zhongwan glared at him, “Just for this incident, I’ll chop you with Xishan’s meat cleaver!”

 

Qi Yun rubbed his cheeks, “I won’t dare do it anymore.”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted, “I bought a house so let’s live there in the future. I really don’t want to go to that villa in the suburbs. I don’t know how you lived there after so many years.”

 

Qi Yun’s focus was shifted after hearing about him buying a house, “Aren’t you going back to Country X?”

 

Xing Zhongwan hummed.

 

Qi Yun’s expression became serious in seconds, “No, your body will be overwhelmed if you’re working in different timezones.”

 

“Who said I have to work in different timezones?”

 

Xing Zhongwan half stretched his legs and leaned on the back of the chair, “I’ll move the head office here. Although it is a bit troublesome and I have to go through a lot of procedures, it is not impossible. Didn’t my grandfather do the same thing back then?”

 

Qi Yun pulled off the scarf around his neck and frowned, “Wanwan, you don’t have to. In this way, it will be three years only… I…”

 

Xing Zhongwan hummed, “Yes, just three years! Are we going to live in two different places for the next three years? I’ll just move back after three years. Let’s talk about it after that. Can you deal with the Shen family? Now that it’s settled, I’ll go back tomorrow to make things happen. I’ll be back in half a month at most.”

 

As soon as he said that the two places were far apart, Qi Yun’s expression immediately sank.

 

The new house that Xing Zhongwan bought was more than 200 square meters big and it was decorated very simply. Qi Yun walked around and saw several large but empty bookshelves in the study.

 

Xing Zhongwan changed his clothes and came out. He was leaning against the door and pointing inside, “I left this for you. You left so many books at Qi’s house. This much should be enough for you. Let’s find a time to go back and get them together. I’ll ask Shen Congxin to bring you all your clothes and so on. Now, if you need anything else, just buy it. I bought a small design company and a garment factory in country X, so that they can design and produce anything you want. If you want perfume or something, look for Laocheng. He is a perfume hobbyist. If you are looking for something fun, ask Xue Qing… forget that. She has no serious qualifications.”

 

Qi Yun smiled and looked at Xing Zhongwan, who didn’t stop talking. Xing Zhongwan finally felt something was wrong, “What’s wrong?”

 

Qi Yun brushed away the strands of hair sticking to his forehead, “Am I being spoiled?”

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled and took Qi Yun’s hand and led him to the tall windowpanes that reached from the floor-to-ceiling in the living room. He pointed to a towering landmark building not far ahead, “Do you know how much you are worth, Qi Yun? If you have nothing to do, go to the Shen’s corporation for a while and go work in your office.”

 

“The old man Chen looked at me and said I’m like a goblin who brings disaster to the country and the people. He never once counted on me.” What Qi Yun said was the truth and he really didn’t have much interest in doing business.

 

“Didn’t you see that the bald patch on his head getting bigger and bigger?”

 

Xing Zhongwan dragged his finger to point to the room, “Come on, Third Master Qi, let’s take a good wash and wash away the bad luck. Then, later we can have dinner with that old transvestite[/mfn]Cheng Zhengzhe[/mfn]. Although my two friends are a little weird, they are very easy to get along with.”

 

The dressing room in the master bedroom had several large cabinets and the clothes in it were all neatly hung. Qi Yun leaned against the door, watching Xing Zhongwan busy picking out clothes. He took a deep breath and felt a little unreal.

 

Xing Zhongwan turned back and looked at Qi Yun’s dazed eyes and reddish eyes. He stopped his movements and smiled slightly, “Qi Yun, don’t be afraid. I will always be here in the future.”

 

Qi Yun tilted his head, lowered his eyes, his eyelashes fluttered, and the corners of his mouth pursed slightly.

 

Xing Zhongwan held his chin, with one hand on the corner of his mouth, and the other on his trembling eyelashes.

 

“Did you know that when you are uneasy, you will lower your eyelids? Your chin will move, and your eyelashes will tremble. When you are shy, you will only lower your eyelids and your eyelashes will also tremble…”

 

The moment he covered the other’s warm lips, no further words were needed to reach deeply into the other’s heart. Their emotions for each other was clear.

 

When Qi Yun wiped his hair dry and came out, he saw Xing Zhongwan holding a bracelet in the study.

 

As Xing Zhongwan shook the bracelet, Qi Yun put down his towel and took it in his hand. He opened it using a hidden button, lifted Xing Zhongwan’s sleeve and put the bracelet on his wrist solemnly.

 

Xing Zhongwan clicked his tongue twice, “That old man… I don’t know what he was thinking at the time, how could he send me as a woman…”

 

Before he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong. If it was not for the previous  daughter-in-law of the Qi family…

 

Qi Yun embarrassedly rubbed the back of his head, as though he did not expect to put a bracelet on his own Xing Zhongwan.

 

“I have to go back to the suburban villa and get the marriage application back.”

 

Xing Zhongwan turned off the hair dryer, “Why do you want to get that thing back? After you pass the supervision period, we will go to X country to collect the real thing. This time, let’s have Aisha be the witness.”

 

Qi Yun stopped moving, his back a little stiff. Xing Zhongwan bent down and looked at him, “You won’t reject, would you? It’s impossible for us not to get married. The whole group knows it now. Where would I put my face if.. Hey, what are you doing!”

 

In the blink of an eye, Xing Zhongwan was pressed down on the bed by Qi Yun and the two looked at each other for a long time. Qi Yun suddenly buried his head in Xing Zhongwan’s neck, “I’m so afraid, Wanwan, I’m so afraid that all this is fake.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s heart twitched. He took Qi Yun’s hand and put it to his heart, “Really, you … Touch it! My heartbeat and how hot it is!”

 

They were tightly wrapped around each other when one of them sat up. The two men then pressed their foreheads together, and their eyes were wet.

 

“Qi Yun, we are really together.”
