Chapter 17

On days when he is not working, Wen Qiu no longer wears a suit, but only wears home clothes. His black hair is unkempt and hangs naturally to his brow bones, making his skin look even whiter like jade.

His eyes were so calm.

But it is so unattainable.

Ji Liao didn't say anything, picked up the agreement and read it carefully.

In order to compensate Ji Liao, their agreement was terminated and Wen Qiu was willing to give him 10 million.

I don’t know why, but Ji Liao used to get very excited and excited when he saw numbers.

But at this moment, his heart was as calm as Wen Qiu's eyes.

Ji Liao didn't say anything.

Wen Qiu spoke first, very generously saying, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Ji Liao pondered, "Are you going to kick me out just because I let Mr. Lou in?"

Wen Qiu: "Of course not."

Ji Liao heard the denial, but didn't hear what followed, and realized that Wen Qiu would not explain.

Great, the plot has gone off track again.

Ji Liao felt tired. The plot was too capricious. He had tried very hard to cooperate, so why did it always change?

It’s really not easy to make money.

No, he has to slow down.

"Can I think about it?" Ji Liao asked.

Wen Qiu decisively agreed: "Okay."

Ji Liao took one last look at Wen Qiu's beauty, then silently took the agreement and walked out.

*

Ten million.

Ji Liao couldn't sleep that night.

After buying the house, not counting the change, he still had 9.62 million left in his account.

This was a number he had never dared to imagine in his previous life.

For a man who has to work hard to save for a down payment, this money is enough for him to live a stable and secure life.

What's more, if he signed the agreement, he would earn an extra 10 million.

Aren’t good days coming?

But why wasn't he very happy?

It was late at night, and the thick curtains blocked out the light, leaving the room in darkness. Ji Liao tossed and turned in his silk quilt, his mind reeling from the image of Wen Qiu.

I could seem to still feel the warmth of Wen Qiu's palm on my head.

In the original novel, the villain has no friends other than the protagonist O. Both his parents have been using him to control and contain the other. However, after meeting the protagonist A, O's heart and soul gradually shift towards the protagonist A, and they redeem each other.

All that is left for Villain A is his career.

Now Wen Qiu has even lost his job.

Ji Liao did not want to sympathize with Wen Qiu. After all, to him, Wen Qiu had been rich since childhood and did not need his sympathy.

Just after leaving Wen Qiu, Ji Liao was alone in this world.

They actually reached a consensus on the issue of "no relatives".

So humorous.

Ji Liao tried hard to imagine the good days after getting the money, and finally fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes, it was just dawn.

Anxiety made it impossible to sleep, so Ji Liao simply got up, washed up, and went downstairs.

If this was his last day here, he would at least make a good breakfast for Wen Qiu.

I was busy in the kitchen as the sun rose slowly.

When it was bright outside, the aroma of food filled the living room, and Wen Qiu also came downstairs.

The dining table was fully set with food. Ji Liao took off his apron and silently placed chopsticks for Wen Qiu.

Wen Qiu looked normal and sat down at the table, but did not pick up his chopsticks.

"Have you thought about it?" he asked.

As long as Ji Liao signed his name, he would bid farewell to the past completely.

Wen Qiu suddenly thought of it.

And Ji Liao had no reason to refuse.

Even if Ji Liao has feelings for her.

How deep can one person's feelings for another person be?

Even he himself, who once vowed to protect Lou Yue for his entire life, now lets go.

Wen Qiu curled his lips in self-mockery and watched Ji Liao take out the agreement.

He even booked the plane ticket. As long as Ji Liao signed, he would fly to Europe in the afternoon to see the aurora and never come back.

But Ji Liao suddenly raised his eyes to look at him and said:

"I disagree."

Wen Qiu: “?”

Ji Liao was originally in a heavy mood, but after blurting out his true thoughts, he felt relieved.

Life is a wilderness, but the wilderness is windy.

Ji Liao doesn't want to be alone.

It doesn’t matter if Wen Qiu doesn’t follow the plot. He is a career-oriented person and will start his own business sooner or later.

Ji Liao can't sit still and has to work sooner or later.

Instead of going out into society and working like a slave for others.

It’s better to pester Wen Qiu.

After all, there are not many bosses as generous as Wen Qiu.

The Holy Communion of the working people needs to be heard.

As for ten million...

Ji Liao could only mourn in grief.

"Are you not satisfied with the amount?" Wen Qiu wondered.

"No." Ji Liao thought hard, "I don't want to leave you."

Wen Qiu: “…”

Ji Liao: "Mr. Lou said you don't like having alphas or omegas around you. I'm a beta, which makes me perfect for working for you. Also, it seems you've retained Assistant Zhang, so you're currently lacking a position. I know you've resigned, but you've been harassed by those people all day, so it's clear your departure wasn't smooth. I'm here with you, so I can help you deal with any issues you might have. Besides, you still have to eat, and I can at least make sure you have three meals a day."

“???”

Wen Qiu still had a puzzled look on his face: "Do you really want to stay?"

Ji Liao loves him so much?

"Yes, I just want to stay with you!"

Ji Liao immediately expressed his loyalty.

silence.

Wen Qiu believed that he had done everything he could. In this case, he could only make his words clear:

"Ji Liao, I won't like you."

Ji Liao: “…”

What?

"I can't give you what you want," Wen Qiu added, "We are not from the same world."

Pupil tremors.

Ji Liao understood.

After going through so much trouble, it turns out that Wen Qiu misunderstood him!

"I……"

Just as he was about to explain, he suddenly thought, if he exposed an alpha's self-conceit in person, would he end up in trouble?

Definitely not.

In other words, it does not help his goal at all.

Thinking of this, Ji Liao pinched himself secretly and nodded with tears in his eyes: "I never expected Mr. Wen to like me."

"Let me stay and take care of you, and I'll be satisfied."

"I just want to be your cow or horse, please give me this opportunity!"

As he spoke, Ji Liao became more sincere and emotional.

Wen Qiu was equally shocked: "You don't even want 10 million?"

Ji Liao's heart trembled, and he almost burst into tears:

"Who wouldn't want it? But in your current situation, you'd better be frugal and save the money for a reserve fund."

After leaving the group, it is still unknown how the two forces behind Wen Qiu operate, and the funds Wen Qiu can use will probably be much less than before.

Ji Liao has no worries about money. If he stays with Wen Qiu, won't he become rich too when Wen Qiu makes a comeback?!

Besides, he is rich now, with a house and a car!

Thinking of his house, Ji Liao realized that he had no time to go back to his new house since the transfer of ownership.

Now Wen Qiu has lost his job, and people come to his villa all the time. Lou Yue even said yesterday that she wanted Wen Qiu to hide at her place.

It seems that Wen Qiu refused.

But this idea can be used as a reference.

"Mr. Wen, are you really resigning?" Ji Liao asked.

Wen Qiu hadn't recovered from his shock yet, but when Ji Liao asked him, he actually nodded, "Yes."

Ji Liao smiled and said, "Then I'll take you out for some quiet time?"

Wen Qiu: “???”

*

Thirty minutes later, Wen Qiu stood in front of the electric scooter, lost in thought.

He also didn't understand why he wanted to go to Europe to see the aurora just now, but now he wanted to go with Ji Liao.

Perhaps he doesn't like the aurora that much.

It’s better to see what Ji Liao is trying to do.

"Why don't you drive?" Wen Qiu was a little resistant when facing the helmet handed to him by Ji Liao.

Ji Liao stuffed it into Wen Qiu's hand.

"I don't dare to drive, it's more convenient to ride this." Ji Liao put the suitcase in front and let Wen Qiu sit in the back seat.

In fact, he thought that the new car should be left here. If it was not driven, it might be sold at a high price.

Wen Qiu still resisted: "Drive my car."

Ji Liao had a good reason: "It's not convenient to park over there."

Wen Qiu stared at the helmet with great disgust. After a while, he finally put it on reluctantly and sat in the back seat unwillingly.

Ji Liao felt the car body sinking and started the car with a smile.

"Hold on tight!"

After saying that, the little motorcycle rushed out.

Wen Qiu leaned back due to inertia and grabbed Ji Liao's clothes.

Ji Liao laughed secretly in his helmet and said loudly:

"Hold my waist!"

I don’t know if Wen Qiu didn’t hear it, but he didn’t come closer.

Ji Liao didn't say anything else, but secretly regretted that he should have bought a real motorcycle.
