Chapter 45 – You are not suited for one another

 

Xing Zhongwan and Qi Yun got off the plane. As soon as he got to the parking lot and turned on his mobile phones, his phone rang.

 

Xing Zhongwan carried Qi Yun into the car, closed the door and glanced at his phone before picking it up.

 

Those long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, as he muttered an ok.

 

He then knocked on the car window. The window came down and Xing Zhongwan said to Qi Yun who was inside, “I have something to do. You go to the hospital first and I will meet you there when I am done.”

 

Qi Yun nodded, “Be careful and come back early.”

 

Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help reaching out and touched Qi Yun’s skinny chin, “Be obedient and don’t get angry.”

 

Qi Yun grabbed Xing Zhongwan’s hand and put it on his lips before kissing it, “I’ll be obedient but I’m a little worried in these troubled times.”

 

Xing Zhongwan drew back his hand carefully, “Don’t worry.” He gave some instructions to the driver in front of him and watched the car carrying Qi Yun slowly leave.

 

The smile on Xing Zhongwan’s face gradually faded and he slowly walked towards the safety exit with his hands in his trouser pockets.

 

After exiting the parking lot, a gust of cold wind came in through the open window, hitting Qi Yun’s forehead. Qi Yun frowned slightly. His heart was inexplicably flustered and Xing Zhongwan’s words by the small pond by the south of the Yangtze River were like a time bomb ticking in his heart.

 

When he woke up in the middle of the night, he was always subconsciously felt around his bed, and it was only after he felt Xing Zhongwan’s warm body that his heart settled down.

 

The driver in front saw that Qi Yun’s hair was a little messy and asked carefully, “Third young master, do you want to shut the window?”

 

Qi Yun turned his face to the side and the cold wind wafting in from the window brought in the smell of the car exhaust’s smoke. There was the smell of dust that was different from the fresh and natural air in the South Yangtze River and Qi Yun actually missed it. From the moment he came back, some things started to change quietly.

 

Xing Zhongwan called a taxi. When he got out of the car, he paid the driver and the driver looked at the side door and the handsome young man, “I’ve read about this place in news magazines, but I didn’t expect to come here one day.”

 

Xing Zhongwan gave money to the driver and smiled, “There’s nothing good about this place. It’s full of demons, ghosts and monsters.”

 

After speaking, he walked straight towards the gate. The driver had a regretful expression, for such a beautiful person, there seemed to be a problem with his mind.

 

Xing Zhongwan rang the doorbell and after a while, the door slowly opened. An old man with gray hair came out and bowed down towards Xing Zhongwan, “You’re here. The chairman has been waiting for you for a long time.”

 

Xing Zhongwan took off his sunglasses and nodded to the old man, “The Shen family has opened the door for me. The treatment towards me is too good.” 

 

The old man said nothing and stretched out his hand to guide Xing Zhongwan, who suddenly turned around, “Have I seen you somewhere before?” 

 

The old man smiled, “It’s good that you remember me. I was lucky enough to see the young master a few times when I was younger.”

 

Xing Zhongwan put the sunglasses in his pocket. When he saw the old man, he felt that he looked familiar and felt that he had seen him somewhere before. Turns out he had seen him as a child and was fated to meet him again now.

 

Xing Zhongwan followed the old man into the Shen’s family house. The main building of the Shen family was a three-story European-style building. In front of the main building was a very large garden full of rosemary. Along the way, there were servants who all wore uniforms and bowed their heads respectfully. No one said a word. The huge courtyard was too quiet.

 

Xing Zhongwan followed the old man to the second floor. As soon as he went up the stairs, Xing Zhongwan caught a strong smell of medicine and coughed from time to time. He understood most of it in his heart and it seemed that the rumor was true, that Shen Qinghong was indeed seriously ill. This idea was suddenly overturned after Xing Zhongwan met Shen Qinghong.

 

The person lying on the bed was very weak and her body was attached to a medical instrument with some fluid hanging down and connected to her hand. She was as thin as a wooden board and Xing Zhongwan doubted whether she could survive till tomorrow.

 

Shen Qinghong clutched her chest and coughed a few times. Those lost eyes were stunned when she saw Xing Zhongwan. She struggled to get up. Xing Zhongwan hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and let her lean on the bed. Shen Qinghong looked at Xing Zhongwan and a trace of grief and wonder flashed in her eyes.

 

“Xing Yanyin?” Xing Zhongwan sat on the chair beside the bed and covered her with a quilt, “Do you know my grandfather?”

 

Shen Qinghong smiled, “You really look like him, but those eyes look very much like your mother’s.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was taken aback, “You know my mother? But I never heard her talk about you.”

 

Shen Qinghong’s eyes were slightly red, “Your mother and I have had a great affection for one another since childhood, it was unfortunate that I couldn’t help you those few years ago.”

 

Elder Li on the side came in with the medicine, “Miss, it’s time to drink the medicine.”

 

Shen Qinghong waved her hand, “Take it away. I want to talk to this child. “

 

Elder Li lowered his head and sighed as Xing Zhongwan watched Shen Qinghong take out a photo from under her pillow and hand it to him, “My body can last for another month at most and I have to wait for Yun’er to finish his operation anyway before I can pass away.”

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at the two girls in school uniforms in the photo. One had a stern face and a very serious face while the other had a youthful and beautiful smile.

 

Xing Zhongwan’s hands gently brushed it, “Qi Yun’s smile looks very much like your’s.”

 

Shen Qinghong was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing before coughing uncontrollably. The thin chest heaving up and down looked a little frightening and felt like it would break at any time.

 

“Yun’er rarely smiled in front of me ever since childhood. He was serious like a tiny adult, not like other children at all. It was even more impossible for him to pretend to be cute. There are many grievances hidden in my heart. While the mother was still her, she was still alright. However, as soon as she returned to the Qi family’s house, the child’s personality became even worse. I still regret it now. At that time, I shouldn’t have let him go back to the Qi family’s house, cough, cough… But now that I think about it, in such an environment, if he didn’t do what he did, how could he protect himself?”

 

Shen Qinghong rested for a while, “I apologize to you on behalf of Chen Ying about the photo. He is a stubborn person, and he hasn’t changed his thinking yet. I’m sorry for the trouble he has caused you.” 

 

Xing Zhongwan said nothing and just looked at Shen Qinghong. Shen Qinghong took a few breaths as Xing Zhongwan handed her a cup of water.

 

“Qi Yun actually doesn’t know, right? After talking to you today, my impression of you is a little different from what I thought before. You have never harmed Qi Yun, right?”

 

Shen Qinghong took a sip of water and put the cup aside, “You are such a transparent child, it’s no wonder that Yun’er likes you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan didn’t expect her to say this, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

 

Shen Qinghong said, “This child’s prejudice against me can’t be resolved in this life. It’s okay if he hates me. I’m already dying. As long as the Shen family can be handed over to him, I can join my mother with peace of mind.”

 

“What’s the deal with you calling me here today?”

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at Shen Qinghong with a hint of pity in his heart. In the end, such a figure of great-standing ended up waiting for death alone.

 

“I just wanted to see you before I die, to see Qian Yi’s¹Xing Zhongwan’s mother. child.”

 

Xing Zhongwan said, “How did you recognize me?”

 

Shen Qinghong smiled, “Your grandfather left a secret lifeline and my mother has told me of this before her death. She ordered that as long as you made a move, it would definitely mean that Qian Yi’s child is back inside the circle, so if necessary, the Shen family would use all their strength to protect you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan straightened his back and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his palms. “My grandfather and Mrs. Qi were… old friends?” During his grandfather’s rushed funeral, Mrs. Qi looked indifferent so Xing Zhongwan thought that the two just knew each other out of courtesy. Later, when Mrs. Qi helped him and his mother, Xing Zhongwan also thought that it was because of the old lady’s temporary kindness, he didn’t expect them to have a deeper connection.

 

“My mother and your grandfather have been close friends for many years. Later, my mother married into the Qi’s family, so she covered up this relationship to avoid suspicion.”

 

Shen Qinghong finished speaking, staring at the bracelet on Xing Zhongwan’s wrist, “That thing in your hand was the bracelet that was given to my mother by your grandfather back then. They all talked about a phoenix tree in the corridor of the Qi family, which allowed for a phoenix to perch on that phoenix tree, bringing all the children of the Shen family good matches in marriage. The owner of it can inherit 35% of the shares in the Shen family. Qi Yun gave it to you, not only as a sign of trust, but also as a sign of recognition.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned as he looked at the exquisitely carved phoenix pattern on his wrist and was speechless for a while.

 

Seeing him like this, a trace of sadness flashed in Shen Qinghong’s eyes, “You are a good boy and I liked you as soon as I saw you. If you can be with Qi Yun, I will be able to smile even as I die. However, with his personality. You two are not suited for one another.”

 

Xing Zhongwan raised his head. So this was the purpose of seeking him out today.

 

Shen Qinghong straightened up and put her hand on the back of Xing Zhongwan’s hand, “Child, I’m dying and I know Qi Yun’s personality all too well. I just ask you to weigh the original relationship between our two families. If Qi Yun does something too outrageous, please…cough, cough.”

 

Shen Qinghong arched her body forward as her face turned blue from coughing. Xing Zhongwan patted her on the back, “You need a good rest now.”

 

Shen Qinghong grabbed Xing Zhongwan’s hand, her skinny knuckles hurting, “Yun’er cares about you too much. If he one day crosses the line, please leave some thoughts for him and spare him so that he can survive. I’m here to beg you for this.”

 

Shen Qinghong’s eyes were flushed, and her chapped lips were trembling. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t bear to look anymore, so he lowered his head and replied, “I promise you!”

 

In the interrogation room, Qi’s fourth young master could be described as haggard with disheveled hair as he stared out of his blood-shot eyes, “What did my mother say? When can you bail me out?”

 

Lao Hu’s expression was also very bad, “This matter is very difficult to handle. Madam has been grounded inside. There’s also a video of you and Miss Qiu… The master is angry. You need to… wait for this matter to pass…”

 

Qi’s fourth young master slammed his fist on the table, “Wait! How dare you make me wait? How can there be a video leak of me and that dead woman? Qi Yun, it must be Qi Yun. Why didn’t you suppress it? Why! Grandpa must have given up on me, how can a ruined member of theQi family be the heir?!”

 

Qi’s fourth young master screamed out with all his strength and collapsed on the chair.

 

Lao Hu knew very well in his heart that Qi’s fourth young master had no chance of turning over the situation again. Qi Zongcheng now wished for him to disappear from this world. Even if it brought shame to the Qi family, he will not save him.

 

“Lao Hu, you better help me. Bail me out! I want to see Qi Yun. He hurt me like this. I won’t let you off easily this time! Hahahaha, Qi Yun, why did the Shen family help you even though you are blind and disabled? I am also the grandson of grandma so why? Why was I never better than you in anything? Why is my fate always worse than yours!? Hahaha, you f-cked me over! I won’t let you live in peace! Qiyun, wait for me. I’m going to kill you!”

 

Lao Hu looked at Qi’s fourth young master, who already went insane, and frowned. He’s walking himself to a dead end and Madam Qi can’t protect herself, so he has to find a way out for himself.

Chapter 44 – Qi Yun, do not lie to me.

 

Xue Qing called Cheng Zhengzhe, “Did you call Laoxing just now? No wonder I couldn’t call him again after that.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe recently came out of the meeting room so it was very noisy.

 

“I’m so angry.”

 

Xue Qing asked, “What did Laoxing say?”

 

“He told me to shut up!” 

 

Xue Qing didn’t speak for a long time before she finally sighed, “Then let’s shut up.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe loosened his tie and grabbed the wig on his head, “Qi Yun is really cruel. I thought this little wolf cub had some conscience, but I didn’t expect it! Look at him walking down step by step. First, Qi’s fourth young master was arrested, then the incident regarding the illegitimate children of the Qi family broke out, and today he didn’t want to even let his mother live. This incident was aimed at Guan Yang on the surface, but it was actually going to bring down the Qi family. Who didn’t know that this was a sensitive period? With so many pairs of eyes watching as a shocking scandal broke out this time, the Qi family will not be able to put an end to this.”

 

“The most terrifying thing is Qi Yun’s mind, which is too deep! He can’t just drag Laoxing down. Laoxing has put so much thought on him. This is sad.”

 

Xue Qing pursed his lips and glanced at Professor Gao who was preparing to board the plane at the airport, “Don’t worry, I’m here. I’ll know what’s going on when I return to China. Don’t worry and work hard. The stall will be handed over to us, we have to finish it. And… with Laoxing’s personality, I believe him. He is still very calm at this critical moment. I will hang up first. Go complete your matters first!”

 

Xue Qing hung up the phone as she smiled and walked towards Professor Gao. Professor Gao pointed at her, “Miss Xue seems to be worried about something.”

 

Xue Qing spread her hands and Professor Gao patted her shoulder, “Are you worried about Mr. Qi’s condition? You don’t need to worry too much. Mr. Qi has a very high chance of a successful surgery.”

 

Xue Qing was a little puzzled, “Isn’t it less than 50%?”

 

Professor Gao smiled, “Yes, the initial diagnosis was indeed the case, but after more consultation, we have communicated the situation with Mr. Qi’s secretary, Mr. Chen Ying. Didn’t they tell you the good news? It’s a pity.”

 

Xue Qing was stunned on the spot. She almost folded her passport and the air ticket in her hand. How rotten.

 

“Qi Yun!!!”

 

Shen Qinghong held the newspaper in her hand when the nurse on the side wanted to come up to give her an injection. She waved her hand and the little nurse left the ward with her prescription.

 

“What’s going on?” Shen Qinghong slammed the newspaper onto the hospital bed, while the secretary on the side wiped the sweat from his forehead.

 

Shen Qinghong closed her eyes and calmed down after a while, “I told Chen Ying not to carry out such petty tricks in private, but he just won’t listen! You tell them to suppress this news.” 

 

The secretary wiped the sweat from his forehead, “I’m afraid it won’t be easy to suppress. The impact of this matter is too great.”

 

Shen Qinghong straightened up, “Then find something that has a bigger impact to suppress this! Cough, cough, cough!”

 

Shen Qinghong coughed violently, “Let Elder Li come in!”

 

“Yes Chairman!”

 

Uncle Li came in after a while. Shen Qinghong handed him the newspaper, “See? I don’t care what happens to the Qi family but that child, Xing Zhongwan can’t be involved. You let what happened that year come to light and summon Chen Ying back to me. If we do not succeed, we stand to lose more than we can gain!”

 

Xing Zhongwan sat in the bathroom for a long time with his phone in hand. Although the angle of the photo was ambiguous and his face could hardly be seen, anyone who is familiar with him should be able to tell at a glance, otherwise Cheng Zhengzhe and Xue Qing would not angrily call him themselves so early in the morning.

 

The angle chosen was very ambiguous. The photo of him and Madam Qi was taken after Qi Yun was drugged and he made an appointment with Madam Qi. In the photo with Qi’s fourth young master, he was lying down as Qi’s fourth young master bent down to look at him. The posture angle was very ambiguous. It was taken when Qi’s fourth young master came to find Qi Yun and was beaten by him.

 

Xing Zhongwan held the phone, unable to describe how he was feeling right now, when a push notification suddenly came in. Xing Zhongwan opened it and immediately understood that the real headline-maker was here!

 

The news, through a few candid photos, talked about the Qi family’s mother and son’s chaotic private life. The mother and son robbed a man. If he wasn’t Xing Zhongwan, the party involved, he would have believed the photos. The news that broke out was the fact that Qi’s fourth young master was not the child of the son of the Qi family, but that he was born to Madam Qi and her lover. This was the headline.

 

It really stacked up one by one, and the timing was so perfect that Xing Zhongwan would applaud.

 

Someone had been planning this for a long time, and these secretly taken photos means he had always been followed by someone. Not only followed but also recorded bit by bit. A lot of things have happened in the past few days and no wonder Xue Qing and the others are so angry. No matter how they think about it, there was no way this had nothing to do with Qi Yun.

 

Xing Zhongwan put his phone on the washstand and wiped his face. If he hadn’t been with Qi Yun for so many days, if he hadn’t known Qi Yun well, he would have believed it.

 

He got up, opened the door, walked out of the bathroom, and walked to the bed. Qi Yun was still asleep. Xing Zhongwan watched him for a while, covered him with a quilt, opened the door and left the room. Before walking a few more steps, he saw Chen Ying. Xing Zhongwan walked up to him expressionlessly, “Does Qi Yun know what you did?”

 

Chen Ying stood up straight. He was neither humble nor arrogant, “Young madam, you are the one wearing the bracelet so I’m calling you young madam, but the heir of the Shen family can’t marry a man!”

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled and suddenly punched him. Chen Ying staggered, his glasses fell to the ground, and the lenses shattered, “I hate people making a fuss about me the most. Qi Yun is short on people on his side right now, so I won’t embarrass you.”

 

As Xing Zhongwan squatted down and grabbed Chen Ying’s chin, a sharp pain came. Chen Ying was sweating profusely.

 

“Also, remember this from me. I’m not interested in the Shen family, but you have no right to control who Qi Yun wants to be with!”

 

Shaking off Chen Ying’s chin, Xing Zhongwan got up and stretched. Turning around and going downstairs, there was no smile under his seemingly relaxed appearance.

 

Qi Yun drank the millet porridge and turned his head slightly, “Wanwan, are you in a bad mood today?” 

 

Xing Zhongwan put down his fork, “No.”

 

Qi Yun frowned, “No, the atmosphere is not right. You won’t be like this if you’re in a good mood.”

 

Xing Zhongwan held his chin, “How should I be like?”

 

Qi Yun put down the bowl in his hand and stretched out his hand to hold Xing Zhongwan’s, “What’s the matter?”

 

Qi Yun asked cautiously as Xing Zhongwan looked at him and suddenly felt that he didn’t understand Qi Yun.

 

“Qi Yun, did you find someone to follow me?”

 

Qi Yun paused for a while, then retracted his hand and grabbed the blanket over his knee nervously for a long time…

 

“Only to protect you, nothing else.”

 

Xing Zhongwan chuckled, “Why are you so nervous? If they’re only just following me, I have nothing to hide. We will go back tomorrow, so I will go out for a walk today. I don’t know when I will be able to come back to Jiangnan next time.”

 

Qi Yun didn’t say anything to stop him this time, as he let Xing Zhongwan walk away. After that, he lowered his face.

 

“Where’s Chen Ying?”

 

The attendant beside him hurriedly took two steps forward, “Secretary Chen was called back by the chairman and should be at the airport now.”

 

Qi Yun maneuvered the wheelchair and moved out of the dining room, “Read today’s news to me.”

 

The attendant lowered his head and looked at the others around him. Qi Yun said calmly, “Quickly!”

 

“Yes!”

 

After Qi Yun finished hearing it, he did not respond for a long time. The attendant behind him was sweating coldly and asked cautiously, “Master Yun, you..?”

 

Qi Yun closed his eyes and they were unable to read his emotions, “Suppress the news.” 

 

The attendant was hunched over, “Master Yun, the chairman of the board, has told me to pass you word that she has already given an order to suppress the news so please let Chen Ying live. He has been loyal to the old lady for half his life. As such, she has summoned him back first!”

 

Qi Yun clenched his fists tightly as blood dripped on the blanket on his knee. Qi Yun opened his eyes which were full of ruthlessness, “Shen Qinghong! “

 

Wanwan was his bottom line and no one could touch him.

 

Xing Zhongwan ate two bowls of rice paired with boiled shrimp made by Uncle Zhong. Old Uncle Zhong handed a silk scarf to Xing Zhongwan to wipe his mouth.

 

“Master is in a bad mood.”

 

Xing Zhongwan replied with a smile, “How can you tell?”

 

As long as you are in a bad mood, you will like to eat white rice. When you were a child, you taught the master that you can eat three bowls of white rice in one go.” Old Uncle Zhong got up and cleaned up the tableware and chopsticks on the table.

 

Xing Zhongwan picked up the fragrant tea that had already been prepared, “I just felt a little bored.”

 

Old Uncle Zhong stopped, “The Qi family is really acting too ruthlessly. Is young master disappointed?”

 

Xing Zhongwan stretched out his arms with a smile as his two long legs knocked on the bluestone floor tiles.

 

“You also think Qi Yun did it?” Qi Yun’s bad history was too extensive. 

 

Old Uncle Zhong walked to Xing Zhongwan’s side and looked at his melancholically slanted eyebrows, “Young master, you have always lived a very transparent life and most of the children in our family’s personality have always followed the master’s. However, to say you can’t bear this is saying too much compared to the young lady. One thing you are better at than the young lady¹Xing Zhongwan’s mother. is that you know what you want. The master put all his energy into keeping you and the young lady away from the rights and wrongs of the world. You were also very clear that once you come back, these right and wrong choices to make will automatically come to find you. The Qi family are the unknown variable. In fact, you already have the answer and have decided on your future path, so what else can you worry about? You just know too much in your heart and know that you can’t but bear with it. Emotions become compulsions if you can’t let them go.”

 

Xing Zhongwan wrapped his arms around Uncle Zhong, “Oh my Uncle Zhong, I have made a mistake. I’m the one who’s supposed to worry about you when you’re so old.”

 

Old Uncle Zhong patted Xing Zhongwan’s back, “Young Master, even if you become seventy or eighty years old, in my heart you will always be the skinny kid who ran around the house with his bare buttocks.”

 

The smile on Xing Zhongwan’s mouth slowly faded away, “This time I will go back. I don’t know when I can come to see you, so you have to take care of your health.”

 

Xing Zhongwan came back with a bag of tea in his hand and looked around for Qi Yun but couldn’t find him. He finally found him in the small pond beside the tea garden.

 

Xing Zhongwan walked over and just as he was about to speak, he saw four and a half crescent-shaped wounds on Qi Yun’s open palm.

 

Xing Zhongwan went back to the house to get the bottle of disinfectant, came back and squatted beside Qi Yun. As soon as he touched Qi Yun’s hand, Qi Yun shrank back.

 

Xing Zhongwan pulled on it hard, “I know you didn’t tell them to do it.”

 

Qi Yun’s hand stopped in midair as Xing Zhongwan took some cotton and dipped it in iodine for disinfection.

 

“In the future, if you’re angry, can you stop venting your anger with your body? It took me so much effort to raise you like this and you don’t even cherish it.”

 

“Wanwan!” A low and hoarse voice called out.

 

Xing Zhongwan sighed.

 

After taking care of both of his hands, Qi Yun stared blankly at the ground. He dared not make any other movements.

 

Xing Zhongwan circled him before he stopped in front of Qi Yun and put a thin coat behind him on his body.

 

“You mentioned before that you don’t like people lying to you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan straightened up and straightened Qi Yun’s bangs, which had been ruffled by the wind as he touched his dry lips.

 

“Me too. Mutually using each other is the unspoken rule of this society. I understand and accept it, but I hate deception and my heart hurts when I’m deceived. I don’t like pain and I never forgive!”

 

Qi Yun had an uncomfortable expression. As Xing Zhongwan approached Qi Yun’s ear, the fragrance of pine wood mixed with the smell of iodine.

 

“So… Qi Yun, don’t lie to me.”

T/N: A lot of peepo say lying is bad and will eventually come back to bite ur arse, so try not to lie! If you wanna lie, only lie to peepo who got a bad haircut. Don’t be like Qi Yun :O

Chapter 43 – What if I’m reluctant

 

The news the next day really exploded. All this time, Qi Zongcheng kept his silence. At this critical juncture, it was too late for Qi Zongcheng and Qi’s fourth young master to clear their involvement. Unfortunately, there was some conflict in the background and his illegitimate sons were exposed outside using this pretext to illegally occupy their land. For a time, the Qi family was brought to the centrestage of chaos.

 

Shen Qinghong looked at the newspaper, as the corner of her mouth twitched. She took off her reading glasses and rubbed her temples, “Elder Li, you said that Yun’er will not leave this matter alone. He made up his mind that the Qi family will be no more.”

 

Uncle Li held the medicine and handed it to Shen Qinghong, “Miss, take good care of yourself. You should leave these things alone.”

 

Shen Qinghong pushed the bowl away, “Even if I drink it, it’s useless for me. I don’t have much strength left and my time has passed. After this calamity, Yun’er will finally understand that the Qi family is a bunch of hypocritical villains, so don’t worry. Uncle Li, after I die, the Shen family will be handed over to Yun’er. Even if he doesn’t like me anymore, the Shen family is also his grandmother’s family and he will take good care of it for his mother’s sake. Cough cough cough!”

 

Uncle Li looked sad, “Young Master Yun has a prejudice against you… it goes too deep!”

 

Shen Qinghong smiled lightly, “It doesn’t matter. As long as he will take the Shen family, what is a small misunderstanding? That child was born with a temper. He is upright, decisive and never sloppy when he does things. Outsiders always think he is too ruthless, but the children who came out of his grandmother’s side, they still have some softness in their hearts even if they seem cruel. I can be rest assured when the Shen family is in his hands.”

 

The news outside has turned everything upside down. In a small resort to the south of the Yangtze River, everything seemed detached from the world. Xing Zhongwan took Qi Yun to fish and caught nothing all morning. Xing Zhongwan looked at the empty bucket, depressed. He mentioned earlier that he would make fish soup for dinner. When he turned around, he saw Qi Yun with a hat on his head, his eyes were slowly narrowing and he was about to doze off. There was a leaf held up by Qi Yun’s long eyelashes, which were really long enough to support a small leaf. Xing Zhongwan felt playful and leaned over him when suddenly, Qi Yun opened his eyes. 

 

The leaf fell and those eyes looked at Xing Zhongwan. His two hands wrapped around the other’s shoulders, “Stop playing!” Having said that, he couldn’t help but bend his waist and hold Xing Zhongwan’s face, kissing him on the forehead.

 

“Wanwan, you smell good.” 

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment, and pretended to be serious, “You know how you look? Like a good woman who’s been molested by a hooligan.”

 

Qi Yun reached out and scratched his nose, “You’re teasing me!”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted and when he turned around, he saw Chen Ying holding up a phone. Xing Zhongwan got up, grabbed the fishing rod and bucket and went away.

 

As Xing Zhongwan walked away, Chen Ying held out the phone in front of Qi Yun, “Master Yun, it’s Mr Qi’s phone number!” 

 

The warmth on Qi Yun’s face dissipated as he took the phone. He put it beside his ear and called out to his grandfather in a cold voice. On the other end of the phone, Qi Zongcheng suppressed his anger, “Qi Yun, do you know what you just did to the Qi family and its impact was? If you don’t like that you were cast out before, you can deal with that later, but the timing now is not right! He’s your own brother, why did you still go through with it?”

 

After listening to Qi Zongcheng’s words indifferently, Qi Yun motioned Chen Ying to push him into a room, “Grandpa, Qi’s fourth young master seduced the Qiu family’s daughter behind my back and pushed her father to commit suicide in fear of being found out. He then  made her get in my car, causing the accident. When he hurt me, did he ever consider me as his brother? Grandpa, didn’t you have a good time watching it too?”

 

“Qi Yun! You…you unfilial grandson!” Qi Zongcheng’s anger could not be suppressed and he wanted to lecture him.

 

Chen Ying pushed Qi Yun into the room and handed him a glass of water. Qi Yun took a sip, “All you want is a puppet that’s well-kept and obedient. If it spirals out of your control, you will cut off its hands and feet. I don’t like being a puppet. Did you think about today when you cut off my hands and feet? How can I not repay the pain of being betrayed by my relatives? Grandpa, this is just the beginning!”

 

“Qi Yun, just because you have the Shen family backing you, you think I can’t do anything to you? It’s not good for you to sully the Qi’s family name! Stop it at once. Don’t think just because you are my grandson that I will let it go!”

 

Qi Yun raised his hand and turned it over, pouring the water in the cup on the ground little by little, “Since I was cast out, I never thought about going back to the Qi family.” 

 

Qi Zongcheng’s voice was trembling

 

“What about the man next to you? You don’t care about him?”

 

“If you dare to touch him, I will let the entire Qi family be buried with me!”

 

With a flick of his hand, the beautiful glass cup fell to the ground and was shattered.

 

Qi Zongcheng almost dropped the phone in his hand and looked back at Madam Qi who was sitting on the sofa with no tears left to cry, “This is the good son you raised. One by one, all of you drive me mad! Not just, the eldest son is here to collect his debt, the youngest son is an idiot that never realized he was set up and he was locked in. He’s still thinking about saving that woman too! I’m afraid he won’t be able to save himself this time!”

 

Madam Qi’s face changed greatly, “Father, the fourth son is your grandson and Hua An’s ¹Qi Zhongcheng’s son and Qi Yun’s father. Also Madam Qi’s husband.son. You mustn’t not save him!”

 

Qi Zongcheng was sullen and he couldn’t help thinking in his heart that the Qi family now was really useless. Qi Yun has already cut off his ties with the Qi family. The Qi’s fourth young master…

 

While he thought about it, there was a knock on the door. Qi Zongcheng’s secretary came in, panicked and said a few words in Qi Zongcheng’s ear before handing over the documents in his hand.

 

Qi Zongcheng frowned, looking at Madam Qi sharply, “Where is he?” 

 

The secretary whispered, “The person has been brought over from outside. The Shen family said that if this is not enough, there is also a paternity test. They can also bring the proof!”

 

Qi Zongcheng rubbed his eyebrows and told his secretary to get out. Madam Qi looked at Qi Zongcheng’s anger-filled eyes and got up in a hurry, “Father! You…”

 

With a crisp sound, Qi Zongcheng slapped her face fiercely. Madam Qi fell to the ground in disbelief before looking up.

 

Qi Zongcheng was trembling with anger as he threw the stack of documents in his hands on her, “Guan Yang, you are so brave to dare to do such a thing and cuckold the Qi’s family head! Don’t think I dare not touch you. If this matter reaches your own father’s side, my Qi family won’t keep you! As for that evil son! He should just die in prison for me!”

 

Madam Qi got up in a panic and grabbed a piece of paper on the ground. All the blood was drained from her face all of a sudden.

 

“No, no… not my father!”

 

Madam Qi wanted to get up so she crawled over and pulled Qi Zongcheng’s trousers, but was kicked to the ground by Qi Zongcheng, “The witnesses and evidence are gathered. What else do you have to quibble about?! I still wonder why you put so much effort into what you did and why you wanted to keep Qi Yun’s child. It turns out that the Qi’s fourth young master was the son of you and this man! You! You!”

 

Qi Zongcheng’s blood pressure rose and he almost fainted. Madam Qi turned her head to look at the trembling man who was slumped to the ground as his hair was being held by the bodyguard at the door.

 

Thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River, Xing Zhongwan was dragged by Qi Yun to the tea garden outside the house. It was like he had nothing to do, so he found something to do. Qi Yun held his hand as Xing Zhongwan yawned. Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers started, as they exploded in the air. Xing Zhongwan didn’t have time to retract his shock as he looked at the fireworks lighting up one by one in the night sky. They formed a single huge word, Wan. Xing Zhongwan raised his chin and was surprised. The sound of fireworks was endless, Xing Zhongwan lowered his head and looked at Qi Yun, “Are you courting a fine lady?”

 

The light of the fireworks made Qi Yun’s face look extraordinarily gentle, “Do you like it? It’ll be your birthday in five days but I can’t celebrate your birthday. I hope you like it.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s nose was a little sour, he turned his head and took a breath. Why couldn’t he make the words ‘he liked it’ come out of his mouth?

 

Qi Yun held his hand and scratched his palm carefully, “You don’t like it? If you don’t like it, I’ll think of something else…”

 

A kiss fell on Qi Yun’s lips and Qi Yun was stunned. The tip of his nose whiffed the fragrance of pine wood and it warmed his heart. He stretched his hand around Xing Zhongwan’s neck and sucked on his soft lips.

 

Under the fireworks, the two of them hugged each other very beautifully, and the entourage around them carefully turned themselves away.

 

Xing Zhongwan hugged Qi Yun’s thin body. For the first time, he felt a little reluctant to give up. He didn’t want to give up on Qi Yun’s heart, let alone Qi Yun himself.

 

Xing Zhongwan went back to the room to take a shower. He came out of the bathroom and looked at his slightly swollen lips in the mirror. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t understand why he kissed Qi Yun just now, he just couldn’t help it.

 

Picking up the towel to dry his hair, his phone rang. In the video, Xue Qing looked at Xing Zhongwan’s lips with an ambiguous smile, “Be honest, what are you up to? I see that your mouth is swollen?”

 

Xing Zhongwan hummed twice, “If there’s nothing, I’m hanging up.”

 

Xue Qing said hurriedly, “I won’t tease you anymore. I’ll bring Professor Gao and the others over tomorrow. When will you come back? The Qi family is not at peace. It is impossible for Qi Yun to hide in Jiangnan forever. He has to go back to do the operation.”

 

Xing Zhongwan thought for a while, “It should be soon. I will meet you by that time. It must have been hard for you all this time.”

 

Xue Qing laughed, “Don’t talk to me about my feelings, I want the real deal! I’ve been fascinated by your little new target for a long time now!”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s face darkened, “You only care about Laozi’s cash cow! Get lost!”

 

Xue Qing acceptingly smiled, “I’m for real. Laoxing, be careful over there and take care of yourself!”

 

Xing Zhongwan hung up the phone, glanced at today’s headlines as he clutched his aching head. This period would not be a peaceful time.

 

The next morning, Xing Zhongwan was woken up by the urgent ringing of his mobile phone. He woke up frowning and gently pushed Qi Yun’s hand away from his waist, fearing that he would be disturbed when he answered his mobile phone outside the room.

 

“What’s the matter? It’s so early in the morning.”

 

Xue Qing was furious and spoke in a high voice, “I’m so pissed off. Laoxing, look at today’s news!”

 

Xing Zhongwan hung up the phone and searched up the news page.

 

His phone rang again and Xing Zhongwan clicked to answer. His expression was very bad.

 

“Laoxing, have you read the news? Qi Yun, that brat, has now harmed you. Does he even have a conscience!?”

 

Xing Zhongwan had a sullen face as he said, “Shut up!”

Chapter 42 – That child is called Xing Zhongwan

 

In a huge ward, coughing sounds were heard from time to time as a pair of scrawny hands were holding a glass of water while flipping through documents. There was a knock on the door and a person came in through the door, walked to the hospital bed and called out to the chairman respectfully.

 

The person on the hospital bed took off her reading glasses and looked at the person beside her bed, “What did Chen Ying say?” 

 

The person answered respectfully, “Secretary Chen sent only one sentence. He asked if it was necessary to investigate the man beside Young Master Yun.”

 

Shen Qinghong coughed twice, “What happened recently?” The person who came only repeated the general overview of the matter to her.

 

“I see. Tell him not to act rashly and just follow Yun’er. As for you, call Elder Li in.”

 

“Yes!”

 

Shen Qinghong was half lying on the bed with her eyes closed as a few words flashed in her mind constantly. Yun’er, are you really attracted to a man? Just because he helped you in your worst time? No, that can’t be.

 

Shen Qinghong slowly opened her eyes. Qi Yun, you’re not that kind of person!

 

After a while, the door of the ward opened and an old man with gray hair walked in, “Chairman, what are your orders?” Shen Qinghong beckoned to him, “There are no outsiders here, so don’t call me the chairman.”

 

The elder took a few more steps as he said, “Yes, miss.”

 

Shen Qinghong coughed a few times, “Uncle Li, do you still remember the Xing family?”

 

The old man bowed respectfully and lowered his head, “In the early years when I was with the eldest young lady, I had a chance to meet Mr. Xing several times.”

 

Shen Qinghong chuckled lightly. Yes, in the early years, the Xing family had were such a beautiful image. At that time, her father had just passed away and her mother took her to Xing’s house. The astonishment when she first saw Xing Yanyin was vivid in her mind. A man like that made her feel ashamed as a woman. As the eldest Shen family, who was born prominent and never knew what an inferiority complex was, lowered her head for the first time.

 

“Uncle Li, do you still remember how many children there are in the Xing family?” 

The old man paused and seemed to be deep in thought, “There should be Xing Zhengping’s eldest daughter Xing Zhongjie and another…”

 

Shen Qinghong sighed softly, “It’s Qian Yi’s¹Xing Zhongwan mother’s name. son. When their mother and son were kicked out of the Xing family, I happened to be out of the country. It’s a pity I couldn’t reach out and help them. Qian Yi was such a good woman…cough cough cough”

 

Shen Qinghong coughed violently as Uncle Li hurriedly stepped forward, “Miss, you can’t get too emotional, it’ll exacerbate your illness.”

 

Shen Qinghong’s face turned pale from coughing, “Uncle Li, do you remember the name of that child?”

 

Uncle Li looked worried that the young lady’s body wouldn’t last any longer. 

 

“I remember. When the young master of the Xing family was born, the old man Xing specially invited miss.  His name was given by miss, and he is called Xing Zhongwan.”

 

Shen Qinghong breathed a sigh of relief. He had a beautiful face and was good to Qi Yun. She got her answer right away.

 

Back then, the kindness shown to his mother was the cause, which resulted in Qi Yun’s feelings today. That child was just here to repay the kindness from those previous years.

 

Yun’er, I’m afraid that while you grew feelings due to his kindness, the other didn’t mean for them to happen. After all, it was just a misunderstanding.

 

Xing Zhongwan used a pair of chopsticks to place the bitter gourd in Qi Yun’s bowl. Qi Yun picked it up and sniffed it as his brows wrinkled involuntarily. After that, he ate it without a change in his expression. Xing Zhongwan watched happily, “It alleviates the heat and detoxifies. It’s good for your body so don’t be picky.”

 

The bitter taste in his mouth made Qi Yun feel bad, but what can he do? He must eat whatever Wanwan has given him..

 

Chen Ying silently walked to Qi Yun’s side and called out to the young master. Xing Zhongwan looked at him and knew that he had something to say, so he went upstairs after making up an excuse.

 

Qi Yun put down his chopsticks and his face regained its usual coldness, “Is it something you must mention right now?”

 

The dissatisfaction in his tone made the attendants behind him involuntarily take two steps back.

 

“Master Yun, what you ordered has been done. The fourth young master should have been invited for tea.”

 

Qi Yun touched his very rounded fingernails that were cut by Wanwan, which were well done. He seemed to be good at everything he does.

 

“There is one more thing. Regarding the person who investigated Madam Qi, I don’t think their purpose in doing so was simple.”

 

Qi Yun let go of his hand, “What else could their purpose be? Isn’t my mother his weakness, the Qi’s fourth young master? Apart from me and you, who else knows I was drugged?”

 

Chen Ying couldn’t believe it, “Are you talking about the young madam?” 

 

A hint of tenderness flashed in Qi Yun’s eyes. Apart from my Wanwan, who else could be so smart, secretly trying to help me bring down the biggest opposition? Were you Lei Feng²A nationally advertised person from the communist party of China. He was used an a good example of how an upstanding citizen should be during Mao Zedong’s rule., not leaving your name behind after doing good deeds?

 

The smile in Qi Yun’s eyes deepened.

 

“Master, aren’t you curious about the identity of the young madam? With all due respect, to dig up something so deeply hidden, it must not have been easy. Are you really not curious about the identity of the young madam? Besides, you… trust him too much.”

 

“Wanwan won’t hurt me!” Qi Yun’s tone was very determined. “If I guessed right, Shen Qinghong disallowed you from investigating him privately. With her personality, she would not put a ticking time bomb by my side without 100% certainty. She must know Wanwan’s identity.”

 

Chen Ying was still a little worried, “I still think…”

 

Qi Yun interrupted him, “Do you think he wants to hurt me? Even if he wanted something from me, he didn’t need to help me clean up my mess and clear the obstacles in my way. As he was able to dig up such deeply concealed information, his own background is probably also not simple. With his personality, he hates to be tied down, loves freedom and is not someone who enjoys fighting for power and profit. To him, the Shen family and the Qi family are burdens. It’s just that I’m in this power-struggle so he had no choice but to join in. I’ve abetted him.”

 

Chen Ying couldn’t refute Qi Yun’s words.

 

Qi Yun didn’t say a word. In fact, he always felt that he and Wanwan had known each other for a long time. A voice in his subconscious kept telling him that this person could be trusted. In his nearly thirty years of life, Qi Yun has never read anyone wrongly.

 

Upstairs, Xing Zhongwan read a few emails and dealt with several business affairs. Cheng Zhengzhe and Xue Qing were about to cry to death. They were so busy that they were about to ascend to the skies. Xue Qing sent him a message saying that if he continued being this busy, she would change soon. Xing Zhongwan smiled and shook his head. 

 

At this moment Xue Qing came in with a voice, “Laoxing, I heard that Qi’s fourth young master’s hand was dealt a heavy blow! He was invited out for tea today, but it was said that he was caught on the spot sniffing drugs with his groupies. He was not only doing drugs, but also selling them. What do you think? It is too much of a coincidence that this happened when the handover for inheritance is so near. Your little Yun’er did it. How ruthless!”

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a while, “Who did you hear this from?”

 

After a while, he received another call. Xing Zhongwan answered it.

 

“Laoniang was well-informed. Qi Zongcheng won’t be able to hold back this time. Just wait, tomorrow’s headlines will definitely explode! Your little Yun really is cruel. How could it be said that he came out of the same mother’s womb? He didn’t even leave any room for a bit of pity!”

 

Xing Zhongwan lay back on the bed, “When they were after his life, they never thought that he was born from his own mother’s womb.”

 

Xue Qing laughed, “This is all well-deserved then. There is still a lot of work. The person you asked about suddenly disappeared after I followed his trail. It is not easy. Someone had the same motive as us. Can you guess who it is? Laoxing, I think you won’t need to worry more. Your Qi Yun is a little wolf who pretends to be good in front of you with his claws all closed. You won’t lose out, but I’ll remind you. Do not be fooled, a wolf’s claws will hurt!”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted, hung up, and threw the phone on the bed.

 

The little wolf with the claws that only pretends to be pitiful in front of him was also cute, isn’t it?

 

The sound of the wheelchair came. Xing Zhongwan got up and saw Qi Yun at the door. He reached out before knocking on the half-open door, “Can I come in?”

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled, “If I say no, you won’t come in?”

 

Qi Yun also smiled, “Then I’ll wait at the door until you agree for me to come in.”

 

Xing Zhongwan got out of bed, squatted down in front of Qi Yun, raised his head and looked at him, “Then, my dear prince, what is your business with me?”

 

Qi Yun’s neck was a little red, “I’m here to pick up my princess and go back to our room to sleep. I wonder if the princess would like to come with me.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s heartily laughed and Qi Yun breathed a sigh of relief despite turning more red.

 

“I’ve never seen someone blush this much.”

 

​​Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun, who was blushing. No matter how terrible you are in the eyes of others, you always have kindness in my heart. I always believe that you also have a soft side to your heart.

 

Qi Yun rubbed Xing Zhongwan’s face, bent down and got closer, “Wanwan, can I kiss you?”

 

He said this carefully as Xing Zhongwan looked at him very closely.

 

He doesn’t know if he will have the opportunity to look at him so closely in the future, so he’ll just indulge him, even if it is the last time.

 

Xing Zhongwan hooked Qi Yun’s neck, raised his chin and kissed him.

 

At the moment when their lips and tongues were entangled, Qi Yun’s face flashed a hint of incredulity. He then took the initiative to kiss Wanwan himself, a kind of joy rippling from the bottom of his heart out of control.

 

He couldn’t help but step forward and hug him tightly, the pine wood fragrance becoming stronger and stronger. Qi Yun thought that he and Wanwan were one step closer than before.

 

Chen Ying took the document in his hand and read it carefully several times.

 

“Secretary Chen, are you sure you want to send it? Should I ask Master Yun for instructions on this matter?”

 

Chen Ying handed the document over, “Just carry it out. The best time is now while the fuse is hot. Don’t give them a chance.”

 

“But by doing this, the young madam…”

 

“Find some tricky angles which don’t reveal his face.”

 

The people under him stood at the same spot, hesitating. Chen Ying sullenly said, “I’ll take care of it if something goes wrong, so do as I say!”

 

Chen Ying rubbed his sore forehead. For you and for what the old lady has entrusted him with during her lifetime, Chen Ying will make himself worthy of her trust.

Chapter 41 – The already emotional heart will still hurt

 

Xing Zhongwan’s already emotional heart started to hurt. He clutched his knees and went upstairs. To be honest, Xing Zhongwan has never been as embarrassed as he was today. He took out his mobile phone and glanced at it. There was a message from Cheng Zhengzhe. Xing Zhongwan thought that it was a little strange and made a call back.

 

The phone was answered quickly and there was the sound of the airport announcement.

 

“Laoxing, you just called me back now. I’m about to board the plane.”

 

Xing Zhongwan squinted, “Then keep what you have to say short!”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe muttered that he was really ruthless, “It’s about the thing you asked me to investigate clearly last time. I really have to admire your intuition. There is indeed a problem!”

 

Xing Zhongwan hummed. Before Cheng Zhengzhe left, Xing Zhongwan asked him to check one thing about Madam Qi. The reason for Xing Zhongwan’s suspicion was the fact that Madam Qi insisted on having Qi Yun’s child. If it is the blood of the Shen family she’s after, then Qi’s fourth young master was also her son. Perhaps the reason why she is so persistent was that Qi’s fourth young master may not be Qi Yun’s own younger brother.

 

There is a high possibility that the Shen family knows about this matter, which is why Madam Qi would rather drug her son and make Qi Yun give her a child.

 

“Madam Qi is also known as Guan Yang. She had a boyfriend before marrying into Qi’s family. They had a good relationship for many years. Later, she married Qi Yun’s father for no reason. It’s not a good thing and this is something everyone in the circle knows about. Qi Yun was taken care by Mrs. Qi when he was born while Guan Yang took care of her husband.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe took a breath, saying that he was really tired, “I investigated this matter and it’s really a lot of hard work. I used a lot of effort to dig three feet in the ground, only to get a little bit. But that’s enough! Qi Yun’s father had a ligation¹Cutting and tying up the sperm duct. As a method of birth control for men. procedure when Qi Yun was 5 years old. I don’t think anyone knows about this matter except the Shen family, and maybe Guan Yang doesn’t know either, otherwise she wouldn’t blatantly cuckolded her husband.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe took the phone that was heating up and switched it to his other ear. “Laoxing, if you really want to help Qi Yun bring down his mother, this matter alone will cause her to be kicked out of the house by the Qi family, and she will never recover for the rest of her life!”

 

Xing Zhongwan thought about it, “Can you find that boyfriend of hers she had before the marriage?”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe sighed, “I’ll try. Give me some time. Seriously, you have already cut ties with the domestic affairs here. If you do this, your grandfather will cry to death in heaven. After so many years of dealing with them, if you want to withdraw, just withdraw!”

 

Xing Zhongwan took out a cigarette from his pocket and blew a smoke ring with it, “It’s time for them to retire abroad for their old age. Grandpa left this lifeline for me, but he didn’t tell me to withdraw. Besides, I kept it to keep an eye on Xing Zhengping’s movements. It’s useless now that my mother has been returned.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe was stunned for a moment, “Are you planning to clean this mess up and leave everything in this country in a dashing manner? Then… What about Qi Yun? You did so much for him behind your back, saying he doesn’t mean anything to you. I really don’t believe it!”

 

Xing Zhongwan leaned against the balcony and took a deep breath, “Mrs. Qi reached out to save my mother and her son. If it weren’t for her, my mother and I would have died a long time ago, so I have to repay this kindness. But Qi Yun, he and I are people from two different worlds. He was born to shake the heavens in this world, while I like to lazily bask in the sun and pass the time. If our feelings have slightly deviated, he and I will never be possible. I did this and I’m just doing my best. Don’t worry, I have a clear mind.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe was speechless and it took a long time to say, “So you have such a relationship with him. I understand you. I will give you an answer as soon as possible. Laoxing, be careful when you are alone in the country. The Qi family is not kind and the Shen family is also not known to distinguish between friends or enemies, so be careful!”

 

Xing Zhongwan answered with an ‘en’ and hung up the phone.

 

Squeezing the cigarette in his hand, he walked to the balcony and took a deep breath. The stars in the sky were twinkling. Xing Zhongwan looked up for a long time until his neck became sore. Looks like those eyes were also as beautiful as the stars in the sky

 

Xing Zhongwan lowered his head and his throat was inexplicably sour. Even if things would get annoying, it would be good if he could get better.

 

Fairy sister, may your eyes be as bright as stars forever.

 

For more than an hour, Xing Zhongwan drove Qi Yun to take him swimming in a lake. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t think of any fun places in just one night. Qi Yun couldn’t see so when he said that he was taking him out to relax, but he was actually taking him out to play with him.

 

Xing Zhongwan took Qi Yun on a boat as the breeze was blowing and it was very comfortable. Xing Zhongwan leaned lazily on the boat and looked at Qi Yun who was sitting upright on the opposite side. He suddenly thought of the wall full of awards and trophies that he saw last time at the Qi family’s house. He couldn’t help laughing, “Qi Yun, when you talk about a case like this, won’t your client cry when they see you?”

 

Qi Yun was startled, “Work is work. Am I too serious now?”

 

Xing Zhongwan laughed, “You’re not working now so just relax a little. Your back doesn’t have to be so straight. I’m getting tired just looking at it. Please relax.”

 

Xing Zhongwan pointed to a bridge not far away, “Look there. There’s a legend about what it is, ah, a love story. It’s between a snake and a human being and they fell in love on that bridge. Ah, I forgot that you can’t see. Qi Yun, you must come to see it if your eyes are better in the future.” 

 

The stern-looking man at the other end of the boat looked perturbed. What was he talking about? About a snake and a human being and all. How did a poignant love story get so distorted after coming out from his mouth?

 

Qi Yun couldn’t help laughing out loud, “Wanwan, you are too funny.”

 

As Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun’s relaxed shoulders, the corners of his mouth were tugged upwards, and his heart was relieved, “That’s right. You should laugh more. You’re still young and you should keep that smile on your face from morning to night. There are already so many troubles in life. Human’s have a fixed lifespan and one day is too short. Why not live happily? Come, I will take you to see the bridge. It is raining today. There’s not a lot of people so it won;t be crowded.”

 

After getting off the boat, Xing Zhongwan took Qi Yun to the bridge. The light rain fell on the umbrella without making a sound, but it made one feel cool.

 

“When I was young, my mother would bring me here as soon as she came back. I always didn’t know what it was like to have so many people around me. When I grew a little older, I realized that my mother didn’t come here to see the view, but the love behind it.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s mother was picked up by his grandfather here and it is for this reason that his mother buried herself in Jiangnan before she died. The feelings for the Xing family and the feelings for the grandfather were never put down until her death. His mother had believed in Buddha all her life, but in the end she still didn’t understand the truth before her obsession ruined her body and took her life.

 

Qi Yun raised his hand and moved it back to Xing Zhongwan’s hand, “You are a very transparent person, Wanwan. You have done many things for me that you shouldn’t have done. There are many things that Qi Yun can’t do without help. I don’t even have the qualifications to stand by your side if I don’t fight for it. I promise you, if I can get off the operating table this time, and if you are willing, can I go with you?”

 

The umbrella in Xing Zhongwan’s hand became crooked and he almost couldn’t hold on, “What are you saying? You will be fine.”

 

Xing Zhongwan fixed the wheelchair, walked to Qi Yun and squatted down, “Qi Yun, you were born excellent and the responsibilities that come with your status are not something you can throw away. You can survive even during the most difficult times. Now that God has pity on you, there is nothing you can’t live without. You must stand at the top, and those who have persecuted you must be punished.”

 

Qi Yun’s hands on his knees trembled slightly, “Wanwan, I’ve never been a good person.

 

Xing Zhongwan got up and raised his hands above his head, “I don’t care what others think of you. I only believe what I have seen and felt these days, and Qi Yun is a very soft person in my heart.”

 

Qi Yun raised his head and stretched his hand forward, touching the corner of Xing Zhongwan’s clothes, “Wanwan, I said I would give you a gift for your birthday.

 

Xing Zhongwan turned around, “I said I don’t want any gifts, Qi Yun, you…” 

 

Xing Zhongwan stopped talking as he watched Qi Yun grasp the handles on both sides of the wheelchair before standing up slowly with his body supported. When he got up, the blue veins on the back of his fair hands buldged out. Although his posture was not good-looking and his body was swaying, the corners of Xing Zhongwan’s eyes suddenly turned red. Qi Yun had faint sweat on his forehead as he bowed his body and slowly let go of his hands, trembling. Little by little, he stood up straight, his hands tightly grasping the sides of his trousers as his two slender legs trembled, and his eyes that seemed to be covered in a veil showed resolve.

 

He supported Qi Yun’s body for those two steps, “Qi Yun, you can stand? That’s great, you can stand!”

 

Xing Zhongwan was so happy that he forgot how to express his joy. Qi Yun stretched out his arms around Xing Zhongwan, “Wanwan, I will become better. I want you to know that Qi Yun can do it.” Yes, so please wait for me a little longer.

 

Xing Zhongwan’s heart felt as if it had been hit hard and the pain was so intense that even breathing hurt. Xing Zhongwan, you and Qi Yun are from two different worlds, so what if you are tempted? You and him… Was it impossible? You never even thought about staying till the end from the beginning, so don’t give him hope. Even if they are passers-by in each other’s lives, their already emotionally involved hearts will still hurt.

 

Xing Zhongwan hugged Qi Yun as he turned his back, closed his eyes, and said lightly, “Okay.”

Chapter 40 – You will never harm me

 

Xing Zhongwan was annoyed. He finally had a little spare time and just wanted to take his long-lost nap, but was woken up by such an ignorant person.

 

Xing Zhongwan stepped on the chest of the young man. He looked good, but also resentful. At first glance, it seemed excessive. Just what kind of eyes did he look at him with? His eyeballs were about to pop out soon. Xing Zhongwan wedged down one foot and the man under his feet exclaimed.

 

Hey, no matter how you look at this face, it looked a bit like Qi Yun.

 

“Who are you? How dare you kick me, you’re going to die!”

 

Xing Zhongwan moved his feet away in disgust. So arrogant. He guessed it was Qi Yun’s younger brother. Tsk tsk tsk, the difference in temperament when they come from the same mother’s womb was really like heaven and earth!

 

He turned around to leave as Qi’s fourth young master struggled to get up from the ground and stopped in front of him, “You are not allowed to go! If you hit me and want to leave, there is no way that’s happening.”

 

Xing Zhongwan raised his eyebrows and looked at the idiot’s expression. Qi’s fourth young master looked at him with a pair of evil eyes and his throat went dry. So beautiful, why was he a man!? What a pity, if he were a woman…

 

While he was thinking about it, Chen Ying brought someone over and stopped in front of Xing Zhongwan, “Qi’s fourth young master, why are you here?”

 

Qi’s fourth young master returned to his senses and hummed, “I’m here to find my brother. Why? Can’t I?”

 

He then looked in the direction of Xing Zhongwan. See? I’m the fourth young master of the Qi family!

 

Xing Zhongwan yawned and went up the steps with his hands in his pocket. Qi’s fourth young master was anxious, “Hey, don’t go. If you hit me, you can’t leave! I-!”

 

Chen Ying looked at him blankly, “Young Master Yun has to rest so he has no time to see you. As such, the fourth young master should go back.”

 

Qi’s fourth young master wanted to go inside, but was stopped and annoyed, “Chen Ying, what do you mean!? Watch how you’re talking to me. Qi Yun is the grandson of the Shen family, so that means I am too! How can I say that? I am also half-considered your master. You are so unreasonable to me. Plus, that person just left after hitting me. Don’t you need to give me an explanation?”

 

Chen Ying seemed to have not heard what he said and turned his back to him. The man winked, and two people came out from behind and dragged Qi’s fourth young master out.

 

Qi’s fourth young master shouted, “Chen Ying, how dare you treat me like this. I’ll tell my aunt to teach you a lesson! Chen Ying, just you wait!”

 

Chen Ying lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked up to see Qi Yun on the terrace of the second floor sitting on the wheelchair coldly.

 

Chen Ying walked to the second floor and stood aside slightly hunched over.

 

Qi Yun put a pair of well-jointed hands on the armrest of the wheelchair and tapped his slender and fair finger, “Which hand did he use to touch Wanwas?”

 

Chen Ying’s brows tightened, and Qi Yun said lightly, “Break it!”

 

Chen Ying’s brows furrowed deeper, “Master Yun, should we take this opportunity to advance the plan?”

 

Qi Yun turned the wheelchair in a different direction, “There are other ways. Don’t involve Wanwan in it. “

 

Looking at the back of Qi Yun as he entered the room, Chen Ying took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his sore nose. There is no better chance than this. Since you don’t want to do it, Master Yun, let me do it for you. Chen Ying didn’t dare to forget what the late madam entrusted to him back then. Young Master Yun, your surgery is imminent so you can’t wait any longer.

 

Xing Zhongwan sat happily beside Qi Yun with a bowl of smoothie. Qi Yun said helplessly, “Eat less ice, it’s not good for the stomach.”

 

Xing Zhongwan said solemnly, “I thought you were going to say, it’s not good for girls to eat too much ice.” After speaking, he couldn’t help laughing and the corners of Qi Yun’s mouth curled into a smile, “You’re still holding a grudge.”

 

“Every time I recall being called a girl by you for so long, I feel annoyed. Do you know that’s harassment in plain sight?” Xing Zhongwan handed the empty bowl to the servant behind him.

 

His sharp eyes saw Qi Yun’s hand, “Hey. Qi Yun, your fingernails are long. I’ll cut it for you.”

 

Qi Yun raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, “I hope when you remember me, you won’t just think about my bad points. Otherwise, the Qi Yun in your heart will only have a bad side. But how can I score more points with you and when can I carry you into the Qi family’s house?”

 

Xing Zhongwan held the nail clippers, and looked at him , “If you talk about carrying me into the Qi family’s house again, I will scratch up your face so you look ugly and make you unable to marry a wife for the rest of your life!”

 

    Qi Yun: …

 

    Wanwan, are you really so childish…

 

Under the sun, Xing Zhongwan lowered his head, grabbed Qi Yun’s hand, and carefully cut his long nails with the nail clipper. Qi Yun turned his head sideways with a smile on his lips and raised his other hand lightly on Xing Zhongwan’s head.

 

What the entourage behind them saw was the most peaceful appearance over the years. Qi Yun’s face was so tender they were about to drip tears. One was seated while the other was standing and it was as beautiful as a painting. No one wanted to disturb those two in the picture perfect painting.

 

Xing Zhongwan shook his head impatiently, “Qi Yun, take your hand away. Are you petting a dog!”

 

Qi Yun said, “Do you still want to keep long hair after all the time?”

 

Xing Zhongwan took a handful of hair in his finger, “I just didn’t have any time to get it trimmed? It’s too troublesome to keep long hair.”

 

He raised his head and Qi Yun’s face was very close. Xing Zhongwan raised his head and looked at his fair skin, delicate eyebrows and the slightly curved mouth, which made his heart beat faster.

 

Those eyes fluttered without focus and the creamy white cardigan that lined the thin body made the entire person look extremely gentle. Was this his impression of Qi Yun?

 

The two of them looked at each other like this. The smile on the corner of Qi Yun’s mouth became bigger and bigger. Xing Zhongwan opened his eyes wider as the other got closer. Was he going to kiss Laozi again? What should he do? Was it urgent? Did he have to push him away now?

 

While struggling, Qi Yun’s soft lips brushed against his cheek and kissed his ear gently.

 

Xing Zhongwan felt like he was electrocuted and numb all over because of what he thought just now. His embarrassed face turned red and he straightened up quickly, looking around in a panic, “Uh… ah… I think I still  have something to do, so I’ll go first!” After speaking, he lowered his head and ran away quickly. 

 

Qi Yun innocently raised his eyebrows as he held his hand, “You haven’t finished cutting it yet?”

 

Someone behind him couldn’t help laughing and Qi Yun’s face turned cold, “Who is laughing?”

 

The person stood up behind, “Master Yun, I…”

 

“Why are you laughing?” 

 

The attendant answered with fear in his eyes as he trembled, “The young madam is blushing.”

 

Qi Yun waved his hand to the back and a smile appeared in his eyes.

 

At dinner, Qi Yun suddenly remembered something, “Wanwan, is your birthday coming soon?” Xing Zhongwan was struggling with the embarrassing event from this afternoon. The people in the room always looked at him with a deep smile. Anxiously poking at the rice in the bowl, Qi Yun’s sudden question startled him.

 

“Aiyah, next time you speak, can’t you give me a warning first?”

 

    Qi Yun: …

 

    Wanwan doesn’t seem to be in a good mood.

 

“Why did you ask me about my birthday? It’s not like a child’s birthday, we don’t have to celebrate it. Plus the timing is not good. It just happens to be on the same day as your surgery.”

 

Qi Yun put down the spoon in his hand, “I can celebrate it with you in advance. Let’s do it tomorrow. We will go out, to a place you want to go the most. There will be a gift for you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan thought about it. The place I want to go most?

 

When he turned his head and saw Qi Yun’s look of anticipation, he snorted twice, “Okay, I’ll think about it. Anyway, you will be bored all day long. I will take you there so you can relax. I don’t need the gift.”

 

“There is one more thing. Can’t you stop calling me Wanwan? That’s my mother…”

 

Qi Yun looked on innocently, “To be honest, I only know you as Wanwan. I don’t even know your full name.”

 

Xing Zhongwan almost blurted out his name.

 

“Isn’t it easy for you to check my identity and name?”

 

Qi Yun shook his head, “That’s different. Your name, your identity, your past. As long as it is you, I want to know everything about you. But I think you will tell me personally. I believe that one day you will accept me and tell me everything yourself.”

 

Xing Zhongwan dug himself into the pit again. He panicked for a while, suddenly stood up and almost knocked down the chair behind him, “If you want to call me Wanwan, go ahead. I’ll go up first and think about where to take you tomorrow.”

 

Xing Zhongwan hurried up the stairs, not paying attention as he slammed into the handrail of the stairs harshly, shocking the servant on the side, “Young madam, be careful.”

 

Xing Zhongwan wrinkled his face, waved to him, covered his knees and went upstairs.

 

Hearing the voice behind him, Qi Yun chuckled softly.

 

Identity? Someone who can reach the top of the information office and bypass his mother to send news to Qi Zongcheng must not be an ordinary person.

 

Wanwan, no matter who you are, the only thing I can be sure of is that you will never hurt me.

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?

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?”

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 ( ˘︹˘ )

Consider liking the writer’s work or buying a kofi for me <3 who knows, might update a lil faster hehe

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
