Chi Ke passed away suddenly on the day he was promoted as a director, at the age of 26. As an overworked employee tormented by his overbearing company following the ‘996’ pattern, his final tho...
Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Ji Qian's clinginess is not like that of Bo...
Leng Yunting returned home and rushed to the second floor without changing his shoes. He pushed open Xu Lemian's bedroom door. The scene in front of him made him stand still for a moment.
The cozy bedroom had long since become empty, leaving only a chilling silence.
Those precious jewels that once sparkled brightly under the lights were now quietly placed on the table alone. The door of the closet was wide open, and a few lonely hangers swayed gently in the breeze, making a slight "creaking" sound. Even the little dolls on the table that Xu Lemian liked to buy the most disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.
A flash of panic flashed across Leng Yunting's eyes for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by anger.
He strode forward like a mad beast, opened the wardrobe, threw all the remaining clothes on the ground, and then frantically rummaged through the bed, tearing the white sheets into wrinkles and throwing the pillows into the corner. He even ripped off the curtains with force. With a loud "crash", the curtain rod was pulled down and the curtains were piled on the ground like a tangled mess.
Aunt Wang at the door had a worried look on her face.
She just cleaned the house!
"Where is he?" Leng Yunting's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Where is Xu Lemian?! Didn't I tell him again and again not to step out of this villa?"
"Master," Wang Ma lowered her head tremblingly and explained, "Miss Su said she wanted to drink pear soup an hour ago. You asked me to buy pears, so I hurried to the supermarket. I really didn't know Mr. Xu would leave at this time."
"Jinmian..." Leng Yunting's anger subsided a little. He slowly turned his head and directed his anger at Butler Wu, "You went to the supermarket too?"
The butler bowed slightly and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "The chairman urgently needs our quarterly report. I called you but couldn't reach you. The situation was urgent at the time, so I had to send it over on my own initiative. I didn't expect something like this to happen."
“Grandpa…” Leng Yunting’s momentum weakened immediately after hearing the word “Chairman”.
In Zhenting, the position of the chairman cannot be disobeyed. He still knows what is more important and it is impossible for him to blame the housekeeper for this.
Leng Yunting was so angry that he didn't know who to vent it on. He just felt very depressed and uncomfortable.
He looked at the empty bedroom and suddenly sneered, "He's throwing a tantrum again, thinking I'll look at him more this way? Who does he think he is? Is this a place where he can leave or come back whenever he wants? Uncle Wu, go get the contract between Xu Lemian and Xing Cotton Swab. I want to see if he can afford the penalty."
I definitely can't afford it.
But people have to learn a lesson.
Before the housekeeper could receive the order, Secretary Sun suddenly rushed upstairs in a panic: "Boss Leng! Boss Leng is in trouble!"
Leng Yunting was already upset, and after being yelled at by Secretary Sun, he became even more furious: "I'm fine! Why are you yelling?"
"...Boss Leng, it's Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu is in trouble." Secretary Sun ran out of breath, gasping for breath, and it took him a long time to recover. "Mr. Xu just came to Xingmian and asked me to pass this to you and left. I was worried at the time, so I quickly asked someone to catch up with his taxi, but I found out that he went to the airport!"
"Airport?" Leng Yunting was stunned, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
Looking down, he found a necklace lying quietly in Sun Mi's palm.
It was the necklace that was thrown into the pool and never found.
…
"Boss Chi, we've already arrived at the airport and are checking in."
"Keep watching." Chi Ke took out two pieces of plum candy from the storage box in front of the passenger seat, put one in his mouth and stuffed one into the driver next to him. "Leng Yunting should be on his way to the airport now. Don't let them meet."
"Okay, Mr. Chi." The other end said, "Um, Mr. Chi..."
This assistant has a good relationship with Chi Ke. They can joke and chat with each other after work. He is also aware of the gossip about the Leng family.
Chi Ke guessed that what he was going to say next was not serious: "Just say it if you have something to say."
Sure enough, there were two "hehe" sounds over there: "Stop Young Master Leng to buy time is not a problem, but what if Young Master Leng doesn't take the usual route? It's like, cough! 'Seal off the airport immediately! Don't allow anyone to leave!'"
Chi Ke: “…”
Ji Qian laughed out loud, his shoulders shaking. "Oh my God, send your assistant to act. He will definitely win the next Oscar."
The assistant on the other side heard it and said shyly: "Oh, Master Ji, you really have a good eye for talent! When I become famous, I will definitely give you ten autographed photos!"
Ji Qian said happily: "It has to be the to sign."
Assistant: “Of course!”
Chi Ke didn't understand why there were so many mentally unstable people around him, so he held his forehead and said, "Wake up, this is a modern society with laws and regulations."
"Oh, okay." The assistant said with a bit of regret, "Will he intercept Mr. Xu's plane before it takes off?"
Chi Ke: “No.”
In fact, theoretically speaking, Zhen Ting can still do such a small thing as delaying takeoff and capturing someone.
But the one who could do it was Leng Chengye, not Leng Yunting. Leng Chengye was looking forward to Xu Lemian's departure every day. He was so happy after knowing the news that he was too late to help. How could he possibly help?
But just in case, Chi Ke still made some second-hand preparations.
The fact that a plane can be delayed because of one person means that there are most likely no other distinguished guests on this flight, or that the influence of other distinguished guests is not enough to compete with the person who requested the delayed takeoff.
And there were three second-generation people with special identities on the flight he booked for Xu Lemian, and the airline would not offend them for Leng Yunting.
After Su Jinmian knew his arrangement, she praised him three times and said with emotion: "Fortunately, I didn't offend you."
Ever since she found out that Ji Qian and Chi Ke were having an affair, she felt a pang of fear every time she thought of the marriage invitation she had sent to Ji Qian.
Su Jinmian didn't know that Chi Ke was present at the scene, and she didn't know that the temptation that Leng Baiyao used to attract her to marriage was given by Chi Ke. At this moment, she was still feeling fortunate that she had kept it a secret from this vengeful ally.
Chi Ke usually avenges his enemies, and after that he will not bring up the past, and will not dwell on the matter: "Have you told those people in the Su family about Xu Lemian's life story?"
"The news has been leaked," Su Jinmian was very efficient, and in contrast to Leng Baiyao's thoughtful calmness, he seemed too swift and decisive. "I have arranged for someone to pick him up in G City. The rest depends on how my brothers handle it."
The Su family suddenly had an illegitimate child. The people who were most anxious were not marginal figures like Su Jinmian who had "no chance" of getting the family property, but those young masters who were fighting hard in the center of the storm.
"Okay, you keep an eye on Ji Song and Sima Yichen, they are a bit crazy." Chi Ke said bluntly, "Especially Sima Yichen, I suspect he..."
Su Jinmian: "Like ntr?"
"beep--"
Ji Qian, who had just parked his car, honked the horn helplessly.
Chi Ke glanced at him, took his hands off the steering wheel, and continued to talk on the phone without changing his expression: "Not accurate, he only likes to green Leng Yunting and steal Leng Yunting's boyfriend."
Su Jinmian slapped her thigh fiercely: "He wouldn't like Leng Yunting, would he?!"
"It's probably not love." Chi Ke said, "His emotions are a little twisted."
Sima Yichen grew up under the shadow of Leng Yunting, "other people's children", and followed Leng Yunting as a little follower. Every time the elders had to step on him to praise Leng Yunting, it was reasonable for jealousy and hatred to grow in such an environment.
It’s just that Sima Yichen is born a pervert, and his hatred is different from that of others and is too twisted.
On the one hand, she is afraid of and admires Leng Yunting because of the shadow that has been following her since she was a child, and is unable to refuse his requests and instructions. On the other hand, she wants to surpass Leng Yunting. Since she can't do it in her career, she will surpass him emotionally.
He could get great satisfaction physically and mentally by taking the suitor who was obsessed with Leng Yunting to bed.
Xu Lemian was the fun he had finally found, and he would not sit idly by.
"I checked. The waiter who framed Xu Lemian for spilling drinks on Leng Yunting had contact with Sima Yichen. It is reasonable to suspect that Sima Yichen found that Xu Lemian and you have similar facial features and deliberately set up a trap for them to meet in order to wait for Leng Yunting to fall in love with Xu Lemian and snatch her away."
Su Jinmian: "...Fuck, is he so perverted?"
Ji Qian's expression was also very interesting: "So he didn't take the initiative to pursue Xu Lemian before, because Leng Yunting hasn't fallen in love with him completely? He asked him to go to the bar to be kissed, because Xu Lemian and Leng Yunting had kissed before?"
"Smart." Chi Ke pinched his ear to show his praise. "Leng Yunting never followed through on his mistress before. Having that kind of person would not satisfy Sima Yichen, so he found someone who has the best chance of becoming Leng Yunting's sweetheart. Now that he is almost successful, he can't give up. As long as Leng Yunting admits that he is attracted to her, he will definitely pursue Xu Lemian."
Although Xu Lemian will suffer the pain of love no matter who she is with, Chi Ke wants more than that.
Some people don't deserve to live a glamorous life, so they might as well roll in the mud for the rest of their lives.
He would not let Xu Lemian get any love, even from someone like Leng Yunting.
"Sima Yichen... I can't criticize him, he's really perverted." Su Jinmian sighed and said puzzledly, "But I still have a question. Didn't Leng Yunting tell the world that he likes me? Why doesn't Sima Yichen come and pursue me directly?"
She was quite eager to try.
She felt excited at the thought of having a legitimate reason to get money from those people.
Chi Ke put it simply: "He knows himself well."
They grew up together, and Leng Yunting was the only one who didn't know who Su Jinmian was.
Sima Yichen knew very well that Su Jinmian looked down on any of them, so he made a fake and tried to pass it off as the real thing.
"Boss Chi," Su Jinmian pondered over the words "self-knowledge" and felt a little embarrassed, "Thank you for praising me."
Chi Ke: “.”
"In any case, pay attention to him and keep in touch with him at all times." Chi Ke hung up the phone and looked at Ji Qian who was hesitant to speak. "What do you want to say?"
Ji Qian stammered, "Why do you know so much?"
"Don't you understand it too?" Chi Ke didn't think it was a big deal. "Don't you understand what it means when you hear ntr?"
"That's different!" Ji Qian explained in a mess. "I just know that you are... you are a little too skilled... No, I can't say skilled... Hey! Anyway, it's different! How do you know so many things?"
Chi Ke looked at him with amusement: "Ji Qian, I'm almost 27 years old this year. Wouldn't it be a bit too fake to say that I know nothing?"
Ji Qian looked at him steadily, and his mood suddenly became very depressed.
He lowered his head, his eyes dim. "Um, you, just before, um, I, I don't mean to mind, I'm just a little curious. I know this is normal, I don't mean to say that I can't accept it, I just want to know if you have..."
"No." Chi Ke said.
Ji Qian raised his head and asked, "Do you know what I'm asking?"
"Yeah." Chi Ke nodded, "I don't have anyone I admire, I don't have anyone I'm ambiguous with, I've never been in a relationship, I've never had sex with anyone, I haven't held hands, hugged, kissed...none of that."
The light in Ji Qian's eyes lit up little by little, and he tightened his lips tightly, trying to make himself look reserved: "Then you said before that the person who is pursuing you..."
Chi Ke: “This is true.”
From tycoon bosses to top stars to doctoral professors, there are men and women, young and old, tall and short, fat and thin, so many that they are indeed too numerous to count.
Ji Qian: “.”
Ji Qian doesn't laugh.
"What's that expression?"
Chi Ke hooked his finger, and the unhappy Ji Qian put his head on his shoulder and rubbed it back and forth.
"I really don't mind. I know it's normal for you to have so many people chasing after you." Ji Qian said in a muffled voice, "But it's still a little uncomfortable to hear it with my own ears."
What was uncomfortable was not those people who chased Chi Ke.
Instead, he envied them for having known Chi Ke for a long time, having participated in Chi Ke's past, and having seen moments that he had not seen.
Lost time cannot be made up.
Chi Ke lowered his long eyelashes, and his eyes and brows appeared somewhat soft in the dim light in the car.
He pushed down the hair that was rubbing against his chin and asked, "How uncomfortable is it?"
"It's so uncomfortable. If I wasn't lying on you, I would have fainted in the next second." Ji Qian's confession became more and more skillful, "I wish I had met you earlier."
Even though he knew in his heart that meeting each other early or late was not right or wrong, when the love was deep, the emotions were out of control.
I don't just want to see the high-spirited Chi Ke, I want to have more time in Chi Ke's life, both the happy and unhappy ones.
He was always greedy in this matter.
Ji Qian turned his head and blinked twice, looking a little pitiful and seeking comfort.
Chi Ke guessed that he wanted a kiss, but he didn't cooperate. Instead, he laughed softly and said, "Then think of a way to make up for these twenty years."
After failing to kiss him, Ji Qian pinched his nose angrily and said, "I'm sorry, you found a boyfriend who can't travel through time and space, and can do nothing but love you."
"That's fine." Chi Ke slapped his hand away, opened the door and got out of the car. He put his wrist on the roof and bent down to look him in the eye. "It doesn't matter if the method is a bit vulgar, as long as it works. Love it, love it more, I don't mind."
Ji Qian gritted his teeth and quickly went to open his own door.
By the time he hurried downstairs, Chi Ke had already closed the door and walked towards the unit door in a casual manner.
"Don't run!" Ji Qian chased after him, "Come here and give me a kiss!"
Chi Ke was hugged from behind. He struggled symbolically but failed to break free as expected.
He turned his head reluctantly and raised his chin in compromise.
The kiss was just as he imagined.
Ji Qian did not push his luck further. His soft lips separated as soon as they touched, just like he had done countless times before, only giving a brief taste and exercising restraint.
Chi Ke raised his eyebrows and wondered what to do.
They have been in love for half a year, and Ji Qian seems to be not honest. In fact, at most he just touches and hugs me. The really excessive situation is like now, where he has to grab me and kiss me.
There aren't that many tricks to kissing, just a simple touch of lips, as innocent as a 16 or 17-year-old high school student having a premature love affair.
Ji Qian's clingy attitude doesn't seem like Plato at all.
He pondered secretly with a deep look in his eyes, which made Ji Qian feel creepy.
The two returned home in silence. Ji Qian suddenly realized something and pounded his palm with his fist: "Oh - I understand!"
Chi Ke was startled and was caught off guard when his shoulders were grabbed. Looking at the face that was getting closer and closer, he thought to himself, isn't this person too quick to act right after he had an epiphany?
He was puzzled and asked, "Does it have to be so sudden now?"
I have to go to work and attend a meeting tomorrow morning, and I don’t have anything at home, so I can’t do it, right?
"Huh? It's not sudden. I know you wanted to ask it since just now." Ji Qian smiled brightly, with a look of pride as if saying "I really admire myself", "I am such a genius", "How can I know you so well".
Chi Ke: “?”
Ask? What? What is there to ask? Isn't it just a matter of doing it?
Ji Qian cleared his throat and said seriously: "Don't worry, husband, my love history is also blank. I am your first love, so you are not at a loss."
Chi Ke: “…”
He wasn't worried.
Anyone can see that Ji Qian had no love in the first half of his life.
Chi Ke spoke with difficulty: "Is this what you realized?"
"Yeah." After being together for so long, Ji Qian was too aware of his possessiveness and continued to brag, "Are you relieved? Are you more satisfied with me?"
Chi Ke: “…”
Ji Qian: "Why are you silent? Are you too happy to speak?"
Chi Ke: “…”
Chi Ke smiled: "Do you still owe me a request?"
Ji Qian felt that he was going to be rewarded, and his ears turned red uncontrollably: "Well, what do you want to mention?"
"For the next week," Chi Ke smiled and took off his hands from his shoulders, "you are not allowed to kiss me, hug me, or call me husband."
Ji Qian: “…”
Ji Qian: “???”
no.
Why?!
