Chapter 36

36

The secretary was carrying a huge secret. If it weren't for the checks and balances of professional ethics, she would have taken out her cell phone and started gossiping crazily.

He led the two of them to the next box with forbearance and restraint, but his eyes were always on Wang Zhi.

I didn’t expect that Mr. Gao likes this type of girl who looks pretty and delicate.

I thought I would find a workaholic like him.

Wang Zhi always felt that there were vague eyes watching him, but he was just angry with Gao Fengming and was too lazy to find out who was looking at him.

When he came in, he looked a little angry.

Gao Bochong glanced at him and slowly lowered his eyes, but he could clearly see his cold brows and pursed lips. It seemed that the words "don't bother me" were written all over his body.

Like a furry kitten.

It was drizzling today and the temperature was a little low. He was wearing a light brown long windbreaker that reached his calves. The belt was not tied tightly and hung casually, like a pair of arms, supporting his waist, ready to tighten at any time and pull him into their arms.

Gao Fengming called out first: "Big Brother."

Wang Zhi followed behind him and whispered, "Boss Gao."

Even when he was unhappy, he was still very polite.

Gao Bochong asked, "I heard your voices. Were you arguing just now?"

Gao Fengming said awkwardly, "It was just a small dispute."

Wang Zhi raised his eyes, said nothing, and his eyes fell lightly on Gao Bochong, but then quickly moved away.

This look seemed to be hesitant, and it seemed like a casual glance.

But Gao Bochong felt a subtle ripple in his heart, like a ripple spreading out. Among so many people, Wang Zhi only looked at him, as if at this moment, he subconsciously sought his help.

Gao Bochong has a feeling that he is needed.

Gao Bochong's mood fluctuated, but there was a subtle hint of joy in his tone: "What are you arguing about?"

Asking despite knowing the answer.

Wang Zhi secretly glared at Gao Bochong again.

Gao Fengming hesitated: "Just... talk about the engagement."

"Engagement?" The man sitting next to Gao Bochong suddenly asked with a smile, "Xiao Gao, are you getting engaged?"

His tone was very familiar. Gao Fengming glanced at him and found that he didn't know him. He replied a little dazedly: "Yes..."

Gao Bochong suddenly interrupted their conversation: "This is the Wang Zhi I mentioned to you."

The man's attention was immediately diverted. He looked at Wang Zhi, with a look of amazement clearly in his eyes: "She is indeed very beautiful."

Gao Bochong smiled and said, "I know you only love beautiful women."

The man laughed: "I knew you understood me."

Gao Bochong then said to Wang Zhi, "Come and say hello to Director Ning."

Director Ning?

Wang Zhi had actually seen the man as familiar a long time ago. Now, after hearing what Gao Bochong said, he suddenly realized who he was.

Ning Ruji, the Chinese director who just returned to China some time ago!

He is known as the contemporary Chinese director who best combines art and business, and has won many awards. When the news of his return to China was all over the Internet, those who hated him scolded him for running away to China because of his lack of talent, but his die-hard fans said that he was returning to his homeland to shoot a good movie that would compete for an Oscar.

These have little to do with Wang Zhi.

He doesn't like watching art films.

Although he pretended to like it very much, Wang Zhi was actually bored and could only watch popcorn movies, so it was difficult for him to be a qualified literary youth.

So he just took a look and paid no more attention.

But now, this legendary director is sitting in front of him.

Wang Zhi looked at Gao Bochong again inexplicably.

He sat at the top with a relaxed posture. In such occasions, he naturally occupied a high position. He only needed to sit there and everyone would please him and worship him.

Ning Ruji's voice was in my ears: "If I had known there were such beauties in China, I should have returned long ago. Xiao Wang, do you want to be in my next movie?"

Like the sun shining through the clouds, Wang Zhi suddenly realized who the hand that manipulated his fate belonged to.

Wang Zhi stared at Gao Bochong in a daze, watching him give her a gentle smile, but beneath the gentle appearance was an unbridled and inescapable possessiveness.

It was like telling him to choose.

She chose to leave her hometown and career for a man she didn't love, just for a marriage that wasn't particularly beautiful.

Or choose an international director, a bright future with blooming flowers, and marry money and power.

I see.

No wonder he is so sure.

Because Wang Zhi had no choice at all.

Even Gao Fengming was manipulated like this. Gao Bochong's willingness to discuss what he wanted only showed that he was patient, and did not mean that he really had a second choice.

He'll make an offer he can't refuse.

Wang Zhi let out a breath slowly and gently, and suddenly he gave Gao Bochong a well-behaved and bright smile.

Gao Bochong seemed stunned for a moment, then revealed an amused look. However, Wang Zhi stopped looking at him and said to Ning Ruji with a smile, "Director Ning, it's my honor."

After the dinner, both the host and the guests had a great time. Wang Zhi also exchanged contact information with Ning Ruji.

Gao Fengming next to him was listless, as if still immersed in disbelief at being rejected by Wang Zhi, and he buried his head in drinking alone.

After the meal, Wang Zhi sent Ning Ruji out. Ning Ruji still behaved in a Western way and wanted to hug and kiss Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi was quite receptive, but he hadn't been held by Ning Ruji yet. A hand had already reached out from the side, put his arm around his shoulders, and easily brought him to the side, just avoiding Ning Ruji's outstretched hand.

Wang Zhi looked up and saw Gao Bochong smiling and asking Ning Ruji, "Are you still staying at the hotel?"

Ning Ruji was distracted by his attention: "Moving to the apartment tomorrow."

"I'll give you a housewarming gift then," Gao Bochong said. "As for work matters, have Zhizhi's agent contact your assistant."

Ning Ruji had been drinking and had a cynical look on his face. However, upon hearing this, his gaze suddenly fell on Gao Bochong and Wang Zhi. After pausing for a moment on Gao Bochong's arm around Wang Zhi's, he seemed to suddenly understand and smiled playfully, "No wonder you suddenly asked me out for dinner. I thought you were thinking about me, your old classmate."

Gao Bochong did not refute: "I thank you on behalf of Zhizhi."

Ning Ruji teased, "Are you thanking me on someone else's behalf?"

Gao Bochong smiled and looked at Wang Zhi. He originally thought that Wang Zhi would be uneasy in such a public place, but when he met Wang Zhi's calm eyes, it was as if he had figured something out.

Gao Bochong paused for a moment, then heard Wang Zhi say graciously, "President Gao has always taken care of me. If I'm ever lucky enough to work with Director Ning, I'll definitely be the one to thank him."

Ning Ruji laughed and thought the two people were very interesting.

After he got in the car, Wang Zhi watched him leave, then turned around and saw Gao Bochong looking at him inquiringly. Wang Zhi wasn't scared by his gaze now, and looked back at him calmly.

Gao Bochong raised an eyebrow and was about to say something when he suddenly heard Gao Fengming calling him doubtfully, "...Brother?"

Why is the eldest brother hugging Zhizhi?

Gao Fengming thought he had seen it wrong.

Gao Bochong didn't let go of Wang Zhi. Instead, he lowered his arm, changing his embrace from shoulders to waist. He simply asked calmly, "Have you booked the tickets? When do you fly?"

Gao Fengming had also been drinking and was a little dizzy. When he heard Gao Bochong's question, he subconsciously replied, "Next week."

"Got it." Gao Bochong nodded, "You can go back first."

Gao Fengming said honestly: "Okay."

After getting in the car, Gao Fengming suddenly shuddered.

That’s not right. Did he just see something?

He turned to look. In front of the gate, two people stood side by side, one tall, one short, looking extremely harmonious. The taller one was lowering his head and saying something. His posture should have been reserved and arrogant, but it was inexplicably filled with a gentle and accommodating attitude...

Gao Fengming wanted to take another look, but the car turned the corner, the scenery changed, and he could no longer see it.

As the alcohol started to take over, Gao Fengming fell back on his seat, thinking groggily that he must have seen it wrong.

Outside the hotel, Wang Zhi lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gao Bochong saw his absent-mindedness and guessed he must still be struggling with his inner struggle. At such moments, Gao Bochong would be exceptionally tolerant and patient, just like in business, laying out his strategy step by step, waiting for his opponent to walk into his pre-set trap and be caught in one swoop.

This time, he wanted to catch a man.

A very handsome man.

A cold wind blew and Wang Zhi shivered. Gao Bochong took off his coat and put it on his shoulders very gentlemanly.

Wang Zhi said, "Thank you, President Gao."

Gao Bochong smiled—he had smiled much more tonight than before. “You’re welcome.”

The car drove over and Gao Bochong opened the door: "Let's go, I'll take you home."

But Wang Zhi looked at him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gao, but I won't need it."

This is different from what Gao Bochong planned.

Wang Zhiyuan was more patient than he had imagined.

Gao Bochong looked at Wang Zhi deeply, but Wang Zhi didn't look at him and still kept his head down.

For some reason, Gao Bochong felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that at this point, Wang Zhi still doesn't understand who to choose?

This is impossible.

Reason told Gao Bochong that Wang Zhi would never refuse the conditions he offered. But instinct urged him to get Wang Zhi as soon as possible, the sooner the better, to avoid any more complications.

…

Perhaps it is the male nature that is at work, wanting to completely possess everything he sets his eyes on as quickly as possible.

How could I lose my composure over such a small matter?

Gao Bochong's voice also turned cold, and he said lightly: "I understand, get in the car."

Wang Zhi finally looked at him and said, "But I want to be alone."

Gao Bochong said coldly: "I know, let the driver take you back."

His expression did not change, but Wang Zhi subtly sensed that Gao Bochong was in a bad mood.

Wang Zhi was smart enough not to ask Gao Bochong how he was going to get back, and he just got into the car obediently.

Gao Bochong held the car door handle and slowly closed the door.

A second before closing, Wang Zhi suddenly spoke again: "Wait."

He knew it was just a trick.

Gao Bochong's mood was shaken, and he opened the car door: "What..."

Before he could finish his words, a coat was stuffed into his hand.

Wang Zhi blinked and said softly, "The temperature has dropped. Mr. Gao, please stand outside and don't catch a cold."

Gao Bochong: ...

Gao Bochong slammed the car door shut, shaking Wang Zhi in the car. Fortunately, the car started very quickly and Gao Bochong's figure was immediately thrown out of sight. Wang Zhi leaned back in the seat with a complicated expression.

Alas, he was still not ready.

The look in Gao Bochong's eyes just now was as if he wanted to eat him.

Moreover, before, he would pretend in front of Gao Fengming, but now, he didn't pretend at all. He actually hugged himself in front of Gao Fengming!

Wang Zhi had no doubt that if he had let Gao Bochong get in the car with him, Gao Bochong would have executed him on the spot.

Although Wang Zhi's acceptance is not low, but playing in the car and so on...

Given his sense of shame, he still can't do it for the time being.

…

It’s best not to do that in the future.

It was Wang Zhi's first time sitting alone in a Rolls-Royce, and he wasn't in the mood to take a selfie. He just pressed something and watched the front fender slowly drop. The driver tilted his head slightly and politely asked, "Excuse me?"

Wang Zhi smiled awkwardly and pushed the baffle back.

The interior of the car becomes an enclosed space with excellent sound insulation, and the wide seats allow people to toss and turn without feeling cramped at all.

…

He confirmed that he would never play anything in the car with Gao Bochong again!

Wang Zhi didn't return to the crew, but sent a message to Li Yun in advance, asking him to help her apply for leave. Then she sent a message to Gao Fengming saying they were breaking up, and without waiting for Gao Fengming's reply, she blocked Gao Fengming from the entire internet.

So cool!

You don’t have to pretend to be a hipster or a white flower anymore.

Let him go his own way, and Gao Fengming can fly to the United States by himself!

As for Gao Bochong...

Wang Zhi hesitated for a moment and decided to die early and be reborn early.

He slept peacefully until he woke up naturally. He felt that he looked pretty good, so he got up, took a shower, brushed his teeth, and then spent two hours choosing clothes. He really couldn't find anything suitable in his own wardrobe, so he finally ran to Dingyu's lounge and picked out a set of casual clothes from the pile of high-end fashions that Gao Bochong gave him.

The white thick-knit sweater is one-shoulder, revealing the collarbone, and the black jeans are slightly tight, making the legs look long and straight. Wang Zhi cleverly used a wide leather belt and tucked the sweater in slightly to reveal the waist and not look bloated.

The diamond necklace he wore when he met fans last time seemed to be quite effective. When fans took photos, they all praised it, saying that it made his swan neck look so beautiful. Wang Zhi also remembered that Gao Bochong seemed to stare at it for a long time.

Maybe you like what he wears?

Wang Zhi was unsure, so after putting it on, he fiddled with it a little, making the diamond fall just on his collarbone, making him look thin and slender.

Everything is ready, Wang Zhi takes a deep breath.

It's normal to be nervous.

But there is no point in running away.

Gao Bochong cannot escape what he wants by simply running away.

It’s better to be proactive.

Anyway, whether it's Gao Fengming or Gao Bochong, it's the same. Isn't it the same whether I save anyone? Even before I was with Gao Bochong, I had already gained more from him than from Gao Fengming.

Thinking about the S+ contract, the first fan visit to the set, and the film invitation from an international director, Wang Zhi was no longer nervous. He strode into the elevator and pressed the up button.

-

Gao Bochong is working overtime.

After last night, Wang Zhi hasn't contacted him.

Maybe he was playing hard to get and wanted to negotiate terms with him.

Gao Bochong was dissatisfied and felt that Wang Zhi was really slow.

If you wanted to negotiate terms, couldn't you have just said it last night?

Gao Bochong's patience was almost exhausted, and he had made up his mind to go find Wang Zhi in person tomorrow.

He looked a little scary, and his subordinates were trembling with fear during the video conference.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Gao Bochong frowned.

He hates being interrupted when he's busy with work.

The secretary has been with him for so long, she shouldn't make such a mistake.

Gao Bochong suppressed his anger and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and the person standing outside was not the secretary, but Wang Zhi.

Gao Bochong stood up subconsciously, but then he came to his senses and said hurriedly into the microphone: "That's all for today."

Then he took off his headphones and sat back down.

Wang Zhi came to find him!

Gao Bochong suppressed his emotions and said calmly, "Why are you here?"

Wang Zhi smiled elegantly and said, "I have something to tell you. Is it convenient now?"

Gao Bochong seemed to be lost in thought, then raised his chin and motioned for Wang Zhi to sit down. Wang Zhi sat down on the chair opposite him and asked directly, "When you said you wanted to marry me that day, did you really mean it?"

Gao Bochong's fingertips twitched suddenly, but he deliberately said casually, "There's no such thing as true love between us."

Wang Zhi nodded without any disappointment, as if he had expected this answer.

Gao Bochong felt uncomfortable and frowned: "Why are you asking this?"

"I just want to confirm." Wang Zhi smiled gently and obediently. "Then, Mr. Gao, after we get married, will you really give me one million every month?"

Gao Bochong said coldly, "It's only one million. I wouldn't use such a thing to deceive people."

Wang Zhi said, "I have other requests."

Gao Bochong sat up straight involuntarily, because he knew that Wang Zhi's willingness to make a request meant that he had made up his mind.

Wang Zhi's beautiful eyes were like priceless crystals. She looked at him seriously and said, "You have to write the one million into the prenuptial agreement. I will not retire from the film industry after marriage, and the S+ contract I signed before cannot be cancelled. I need resources to fight for my career."

This is nothing, it's just natural.

Do I need to bring it up specifically?

Gao Bochong agreed immediately: "Okay."

Wang Zhi added, "Also... I know there's no love between us, we're just getting what we want. But I can't accept a third party being between us during our marriage. So after marriage, we can part ways amicably, but you can't cheat. If cheating leads to a divorce, you... you have to compensate me for emotional distress and living expenses."

When talking about compensation, he lowered his eyes a little, as if a little embarrassed.

Gao Bochong looked at his waist which was tightly bound by the belt, and his fingers entangled together due to nervousness, and couldn't help but wonder, it's just a request, why are you so nervous?

Is he afraid that he will be rejected?

Moreover, he knew that it was fine as long as everyone had no feelings for each other, so they would not have any inappropriate thoughts.

But I won't cheat.

There is no unfaithful man in the Gao family.

Mutual benefit? Did he think he was the kind of person who was blinded by lust? He just felt that they were suitable for each other.

Gao Bochong chuckled, "I also can't accept the presence of a third party during the marriage. If you're worried, you can write this into a prenuptial agreement."

Wang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but was inexplicably disappointed.

He thought Gao Bochong remained silent for so long because he felt that he was asking for too much, but he didn't expect Gao Bochong to agree immediately.

Aren't these requests too demanding? Why didn't Gao Bochong refuse?

Wang Zhi was really at his wit's end. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up.

Gao Bochong watched him walk to the door and grab the door handle. Then he turned around and glanced at Gao Bochong: "Then... Mr. Gao, are we settled?"

My heart started beating wildly, as if I had a premonition of something.

Gao Bochong said in a deep voice, "I'll have someone draw up a contract tomorrow."

Wang Zhi smiled, his snow-white fingers gripping the door handle so tightly that it lost its color and took on a jade-like luster.

Then he closed the door.

Gao Bochong sat there leisurely, waiting for what Wang Zhi would do. This time, Wang Zhi didn't let him wait for long, and walked over without stopping.

He stood next to Gao Bochong. Gao Bochong thought he would sit in his arms, so he moved back a little to make it easier for him to sit in. However, Wang Zhi leaned on the table, seemed to think for a moment, and then sat down on the table facing Gao Bochong.

Gao Bochong was not as calm as he thought.

Especially when he saw Wang Zhi sitting there, sitting high up, with her slender waist right in front of him, one of her legs resting on the ground, the other slightly curled up and stepped to the side, with her knees slightly apart, it was almost like an invitation.

But he was completely oblivious. He lowered his head, smiled at Gao Bochong and said, "So, should I call you Mr. Gao or husband from now on?"

Gao Bochong couldn't bear it any longer.

The calmness and composure he had just shown had been completely destroyed by the fire. He put one arm around Wang Zhi's waist and with the other hand, he grabbed the sparkling diamond necklace around Wang Zhi's neck. With a little force, Wang Zhi lowered his head obediently.

Gao Bochong raised his head, but did not kiss Wang Zhi's lips directly. Instead, he stopped deliberately. Wang Zhi's eyes flashed. Although a little stiff, he did not struggle. Instead, he lowered his head actively and pressed his cold and soft lips against Gao Bochong's lips.

Just like cold water poured into oil, Gao Bochong's emotions boiled in an instant.

Wang Zhi was about to leave after just a short moment, but Gao Bo Chong suddenly exerted force with his hand and pulled him over. Wang Zhi let out a short muffled groan, and his lips opened involuntarily. Gao Bo Chong had already bitten the tip of his tongue.

Wang Zhi was caught off guard and almost fell down. Gao Bochong had already stood up. His tall and strong figure completely covered Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi stepped back reflexively, but Gao Bochong put his arms around his waist and pulled him into his arms.

There was a computer screen behind him. Wang Zhi pressed the keyboard with his hands, which hurt his palm a little. He didn't know which key he pressed, but the camera that had been turned off suddenly turned on, and two entangled figures were reflected in the empty online conference room.

Wang Zhi was startled and shrank into Gao Bochong's arms, sobbing and reminding Gao Bochong: "...The camera... uh... is on..."

Gao Bochong ignored him, pinched his legs and wrapped them around his waist, then stood up while holding him, turned around, and leaned against the table.

Without the table to lean on, Wang Zhi was completely hanging on Gao Bochong. He could only hug Gao Bochong's neck tightly to prevent himself from sliding down.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her face facing the camera on the screen behind Gao Bochong. She was kissed so hard that her brows were blossoming, her eyes were half open and half closed, and their tongues were entangled and exchanged, bringing out crystal clear saliva, which stretched out hotly and dripped at the corners of her mouth.

Gao Bochong's hand stroked Wang Zhi's neck vigorously, like a flint, and every touch ignited sparks.

Wang Zhi couldn't breathe. Gao Bochong seemed to considerately separate from him. Air rushed in, and Wang Zhi took deep breaths. Gao Bochong rubbed his sensitive earlobe with two fingers and said in a low voice, "Tongue."

Wang Zhi was rubbed so hard that his whole body became soft, his knees trembled, and he could hardly hold on. He felt himself sliding down, and the feeling of weightlessness made him tense. Gao Bochong's hands, which were held by him, became stronger and stronger. He held him and sat him in the chair, letting Wang Zhi sit in his arms with his back to him.

Finally settled down, Wang Zhi hadn't had time to breathe a sigh of relief when Gao Bochong tugged at the necklace and said again, "Tongue."

Wang Zhi didn't understand what was going on, so he turned around and looked at Gao Bochong blankly.

His eyes were wet, and although he hadn't cried, the corners of his eyes were red. His lips, which had just been bitten, were swollen and bright red. His innocent and gentle expression made people feel a strong desire.

Want to get him.

Completely.

Gao Bochong felt his body temperature rising, and the blood rushing through his veins like boiling magma.

The next moment, he saw Wang Zhi, tentatively and cautiously opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue. The soft, bright red tongue trembled and was exposed to the air.
