Chapter 63 63 What you are thinking about is actually my face, right? ...

At night, Shi Rui stopped laughing because Qin Jixiu was ruthless and pushed him into the next bedroom to sleep.

But Shi Rui was also optimistic. After all, he was going to get his official status, so who would care about what was happening at home?

After the two families met, Qin Jixiu stopped hiding things at the company. Whenever he had something to ask, he'd go straight downstairs to the R&D department to find Shi Rui and ask him what he wanted for dinner. It was clear that he ate whatever his aunt cooked, never worrying about it, just to show off their relationship.

Now, the gossip group chats became even more lively.

[What was I saying?! They haven't broken up yet! Boss Qin just stopped by the secretary's office and asked what they wanted for dinner! Can't you two just chat on WeChat? Why did you have to meet in person and have so many people hear it... Girls! This is officially an announcement!]

[I've been anticipating this day for a long time. They've been hanging out together all the time lately, and they haven't been avoiding us. And I heard that President Qin and Secretary Shi have lunch and take naps together every day. They're so sweet!]

[Rumor has it, they've been living together for a long time.]

[It's understandable. Mr. Qin and Secretary Shi live in the south and north, respectively, and they commute to work together every day. They must have overcome the distance objectively.]

I envy Shi Rui so much for being able to hold Mr. Qin in his arms while he sleeps every day. Mr. Qin always has that light masculine scent on him. Every time he walks by, I want to sniff him a few more times. He must be really nice to hold.

[Yes, yes, yes! Last time I took the elevator, I was very close to Mr. Qin. The scent wasn't overpowering at all, it was incredibly clean.]

Shi Rui flipped through the chat history and thought that he also envied his past self who could hold Qin Jixiu to sleep every day.

But they could still have lunch together, so Shi Rui ordered a roast duck and some hawthorn cake to help him get rid of the greasiness, then excitedly took his lunch upstairs.

Shi Rui was a little surprised that no one was in the president's office.

Without thinking much, he gently pushed open the door of Qin Jixiu's office. Just as he shouted "Brother" in a hoarse voice, he caught a glimpse of someone else inside. It was Mr. Zheng from last time, sitting on the sofa drinking water.

Zheng Tu looked like a peacock spreading its tail today, dressed very flashily, wearing all the matching accessories and combing his hair back, and it was obvious that he had ulterior motives.

He instantly withdrew the intimacy on his face, nodded politely to Mr. Zheng, then turned to Qin Jixiu and said in a softer voice, "Can I come in?"

Qin Jixiu raised his eyes to look at him, a trace of imperceptible tenderness flashed across his eyes, but his mouth was calm: "Come in, and pour me a glass of water by the way."

Shi Rui placed the roast duck on the coffee table, walked quickly to the water dispenser, and took the glass from Qin Jixiu. He took the glass of warm water and handed it back, whispering, "Why don't you drink tea today?"

Qin Jixiu's fingertips touched the wall of the cup, the temperature was just right. He looked up at Shi Rui and said softly, "I only have green tea left in my office. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach today."

"Your stomach is upset?" Shi Rui frowned immediately and reached out to touch Qin Jixiu's stomach, but then he remembered that there were people beside him and forced himself to hold back. "Shall I go to the pharmacy downstairs to buy you some stomach medicine? I'll be back soon."

"Don't bother." Qin Jixiu grabbed his arm and gently rubbed his wrist with his fingertips. "Just help me close the window. The wind is a bit strong."

Shi Rui nodded and turned to close the window.

Shi Rui walked away from Qin Jixiu, and Zheng Tu saw Qin Jixiu's face. Although it was not obvious, his eyebrows were more relaxed and the corners of his lips were more curved than when they were alone.

The two of them were talking in whispers, oblivious to the people around them.

Zheng Tu suppressed the sourness in his heart and asked, "Ji Xiu, what is this?"

Qin Jixiu's voice came through clearly: "I forgot to introduce myself. This is my boyfriend, Shi Rui, the eldest son of Lincheng Shengwen Group."

Shi Rui opened the window and just heard this. He walked over and extended his hand to Zheng Tu with a proper smile: "Hello, Mr. Zheng, I'm Shi Rui."

Zheng Tu extended his hand and shook his hand.

Feeling the force Shi Rui applied to his handshake without making a sound, Zheng Tu raised an eyebrow and suddenly said, "No wonder I thought Mr. Shi looked familiar. I met him at the club last time, but I didn't recognize him then. I'm so sorry."

Shi Rui gave him a cold look, but he didn't intend to admit it. When he turned to look at Qin Jixiu, he regained his innocent look.

Qin Jixiu asked curiously, "Did you meet that day?"

Shi Rui said innocently: "I have no impression."

Zheng Tu laughed at the boy's ability to act. He looked at Qin Jixiu with a feigned embarrassment, "Oh, I saw you kissing someone in the bathroom that day. Wasn't that person Shi Rui?"

Qin Jixiu suddenly looked embarrassed and subconsciously wanted to explain.

Shi Rui took the initiative and hit back bluntly: "I remember that someone seemed to be peeping at the door that day. It turned out to be you, President Zheng."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became a little awkward.

Qin Jixiu rubbed his brows. He knew Shi Rui was protecting him, but he was afraid that he and Zheng Tu would have a falling out, so he had to smooth things over: "Baby, if you're hungry, eat first. I'll finish my talk with President Zheng soon."

He stood up, took the marked document on the table, walked to the sofa and sat down, discussing the specific details with Zheng Tu.

Shi Rui sat on the other side of the sofa, not wanting to open the lunch box.

The aroma of roast duck wafted into his nose, but he had no appetite at all.

He took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Qin Jixiu: [Brother, this Mr. Zheng doesn’t seem to like me.]

Qin Jixiu's phone lit up quickly. He glanced down and quickly replied with his fingertips: "Don't overthink it. Zheng Tu is just like that. Be good and eat first."

Shi Rui stared at the screen, his fingers tapping again: [I'm not hungry, I'll wait for you to eat together. But I think I must have offended Mr. Zheng in some way. Brother, did I do something wrong?]

Anyone with a brain would feel the fragrance of tea when seeing these words.

Of course Qin Jixiu didn't realize it. He glanced at his phone and didn't reply.

He spoke faster, briefly explaining the key points to Zheng Tu, then said, "Brother Zheng, go back and think about it. If you have any ideas, feel free to contact me."

Zheng Tu stood up, glanced at Shi Rui beside him, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to invite you to have lunch together at noon, but since you have someone to accompany you, I won't bother you anymore. Let's make an appointment another day."

"Brother Zheng, I'll take you down." Qin Jixiu stood up. It was just a polite remark, but Zheng Tu nodded unexpectedly and said with a smile: "Okay, I just happen to have something else to talk to you about."

Qin Jixiu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Shi Rui, and followed Zheng Tu to the door.

In a few minutes, Qin Jixiu came back.

As soon as he entered the room, Shi Rui immediately stood up, walked quickly to him and asked, "Did Zheng Tu say anything bad to you about me? Did he say that I was ignorant and shouldn't talk back to him?"

Qin Jixiu smiled and said, "No, he only talked to me about business and didn't mention you. He doesn't know you, so what bad things can he say about you? Besides, you two won't meet many times in this life, so don't worry about his opinion."

Shi Rui would never let Qin Jixiu know that Zheng Tu had bad intentions towards him. Instead, he said, "He calls you 'Jixiu'. I thought that although you didn't have much business dealings, you were a good personal friend."

Qin Jixiu held his hand, his tone gentle but firm: "I only have two good friends, Zhu Xun and Zeng Hui. Grandpa and my father have also taken you to meet them. As for the others, whether they accept you or not has nothing to do with me, and even less so with you."

He paused, pulled Shi Rui to the coffee table, and opened the lunch box: "Okay, don't think about it, eat quickly, the roast duck is almost cold."

In order to calm Shi Rui down, Qin Jixiu dipped the duck skin in sweet bean sauce, wrapped it with cucumber and green onion shreds, and handed it to his mouth.

Shi Rui opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp, enjoying the meal very much.

They were right. Qin Jixiu smelled good, even his fingertips.

After dinner, the two went to the rest room to rest together.

Qin Jixiu had just laid down when he felt Shi Rui beside him suddenly open his eyes. Before he could react, Shi Rui took off his clothes in a flash and lay down beside him with his upper body naked.

Qin Jixiu was startled and quickly sat up, lowering his voice: "The door is not locked! What if someone comes in?"

Shi Rui, however, moved closer to him nonchalantly: "I locked it. I locked it on purpose. No one can get in."

He looked at Qin Jixiu with shining eyes: "Brother, it's been a long time since we last met..."

Qin Jixiu knew what Shi Rui wanted to say, and just as he was about to turn over and get out of bed, Shi Rui held his shoulders. Shi Rui was stronger than him, and with a slight push, he pinned him to the bed.

At the company, Qin Jixiu was very cautious and felt a little restrained, but Shi Rui felt like he was energized in this new place, especially since it had been a long time since he had tasted the flavor of his boyfriend.

Gently pressing on Qin Jixiu's back, Shi Rui suddenly thought of something and asked, "You and Ye Bo have been in an online relationship for over two years. Have you ever developed any desire for him?"

How could there not be? Qin Jixiu paused and said, "...Yes."

Shi Rui then asked a surprising question: "So when you were doing it yourself, you were actually thinking about my face, right?"

Others who were looking for trouble couldn't even think of saying this, but Shi Rui, on the other hand, treated it as fun with an excited tone.

Qin Jixiu: "..."

"Is that so?" Shi Rui moved.

Qin Jixiu said: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Shi Rui opened his mouth, bit his earlobe with his canine teeth, and bit it slowly. Qin Jixiu's ears were sensitive, and his whole body immediately felt like it was electrified.

Shi Rui reached out and patted him on the butt twice, almost dying of pleasure.

After the meeting, Shi Rui suddenly handed all the cards in his pocket to Qin Jixiu. Qin Jixiu pushed his hands away and said, "You keep them for yourself. I'm not short of money."

Shi Rui said seriously beside him, "My dad said that now that I have a partner, I can't be without money. He can let me suffer, but he can't let his daughter-in-law suffer. So he decided to cancel the previous agreement. I can go to Lincheng whenever I want."

Qin Jixiu's sweat hadn't dried yet. He took the cards and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you really giving them to me?"

Shi Rui held up five fingers and said, "If you give me 5,000 yuan in pocket money every month, I'll be very satisfied."

"Okay." Qin Jixiu nodded happily.
