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 77
In mid-to-late December, the eleven members of Sequence Finance’s core team held their first large-scale and formal meeting.
The company name was chosen by Ansel, a British guy, after spending two nights looking through the dictionary.
It is said that Chinese people like hope. The former represents order and future, while the latter implies the beginning of life. Together, they also represent a vision of the company's beautiful future.
Chi Ke felt that he should have been born in China.
With this ability, it would be a shame if you don’t do some Chinese reading comprehension.
After the meeting, everyone looked at the ring on the CEO’s ring finger and joked about it.
Ansel was the most courageous: "Alas, what a pity, we decided on the name of our company too early."
Chi Ke raised his eyes, not quite understanding what the "what a pity" meant.
Ansel said: "Huh? Don't Chinese people like romance? I've seen many bosses in novels who start their own businesses write the name of their love into the name of their company!"
Half of the people in the conference room fell down laughing, and the remaining half were foreigners who had never read novels about Chinese domineering presidents.
Chi Ke was speechless: "This is not just my company."
Indeed, his original intention of entering this industry was for Ji Qian.
But who among those present doesn’t have his or her own reasons and original intentions?
It doesn’t matter if the personal reasons are different, our business goals and ideals are the same, so we are brought together by fate.
Take Ansel and the other two for example, the three of them were with him long before the business plan was implemented.
After so much time has passed, the relationship between them is no longer defined as a simple superior-subordinate relationship. Although most of the start-up capital came from him, the nominal CEO cannot establish a company alone. It should be a consensus of everyone.
It’s enough for him to know his original intention.
Ji Qian belongs to him alone.
After everyone left, someone called Chi Ke.
"Mr. Chi, wait a minute!" The CMO with short black hair was poached from another company by Chi Ke with great effort.
This young lady has a complicated background. Her father is the president of a bank. She has extremely rich connections and knows almost all the first-hand gossip in the circle.
She slyly shared the latest gossip with her boss: "Did you know that the second young master of the Leng family and the second young master of the Sima family had a fight in G City last night and was sent to the hospital?"
It's a rare gossip that Chi Ke knows before her.
As soon as the two of them entered the hospital last night, an assistant who was on a business trip and a professional stand-in who was assigned to be with Leng Yunting brought the news over.
However, Chi Ke was quite curious about the version of the incident that was passed on to other people, and he also wanted to understand the authenticity and credibility of the information held by the employees: "I heard a little bit, what exactly happened?"
The CMO shook his head and said, "This is a long story..."
Seeing Chi Ke's indifferent look, she changed her words: "Of course, I can make it short."
I almost forgot that my boss likes concise and clear reports and doesn't like narratives with artistic embellishments and wording because that would waste a lot of time.
Delays will result in delayed departure times.
The delay in leaving get off work would delay his return home to see the doctor named Ji.
Delaying their meeting will affect the boss's mood.
If the boss's mood is affected, no one will see that face that is very attractive to watch smile the next day...
in short.
The boss is only generous with his time and smiles towards his boyfriend.
A handsome man is a disaster. A handsome man is a disaster.
Love is something that will make anyone who touches it lose their mind.
CMO sighed: "Alas!"
Chi Ke was puzzled: "?"
The CMO waved his hands and recounted the gossip in a clear and logical manner: "Sima Yichen hooked up with Mr. Leng Er's former lover. This time, Mr. Leng Er brought a new lover to the banquet, who looked a bit like the previous one. When the four of them met, there was a little conflict between the ex and the current one. Leng Er arrived at the scene first to help the current one. When Sima Yichen came over and saw it, he went crazy and punched Leng Er... His grandfather arranged for him to leave for Thailand tomorrow, but now he's really become a joke. He doesn't even have the face to stay. I don't know what's wrong with him. Could he really have fallen in love with that Xu?"
There's not that much true love in this, it's just that the defense was broken.
He endured the nausea for several months, wasted the little time left before going abroad on Xu Lemian, and gambled his entire reputation, just to see Leng Yunting's heartbroken expression. In the end, not only was Leng Yunting not heartbroken, but he also watched the fun with an attitude of "what a rubbish you have". In an instant, he became penniless and even had to pay compensation. If Sima Yichen was not crazy at that time, he could be considered a strong person.
Apart from these inside stories, what the CMO learned was pretty much the same as what happened during the live broadcast.
Before Chi Ke left, he expressed his admiration for her abilities.
The CMO was praised so much that he felt inexplicably flattered and only thought about working harder to master this information in the future. He had no idea that he was being schemed against by the evil capitalist leader.
But even if she realized it, she would just curse and do her work willingly.
There is no other way. Who wouldn’t be willing to do it if they could get such high praise and emotional value from their boss just by finding out a few pieces of information?
…
Two days later, Yizhu landed in G City and immediately rushed to the boss's office.
“Boss boss boss boss——”
The boss, who was working diligently on the budget planning in front of the computer, covered his ears expressionlessly.
"Oh, you look down on me again." The assistant, who always speaks loudly when anxious, lowered his voice consciously, "Boss, something terrible has happened."
Chi Ke put his hand down and didn't look up: "What?"
Yizhu: "Didn't Ms. Meng completely end the contract lawsuit with Xingmian yesterday and switch to another company to sign a formal contract and then-"
Chi Ke: "Breathe."
"Huh..." Yizhu took a deep breath, and then continued without pause, "And now she plans to formally take action against Xu Lemian and expose the reason why the Second Young Master Sima and the Second Young Master Leng had a fight two days ago."
Chi Ke: “You just found out?”
"Is that slow? She just contacted the media this morning and I found out an hour later—" He said halfway, and the assistant reacted and asked uncertainly, "...You did it?"
Chi Ke nodded.
He originally wanted to expose it, but Meng Zao insisted on venting his anger himself.
Ichisuke didn't understand: "Won't this help him become famous?"
Black and red are also red, and you can make money.
"You can't become famous just by exposing your private life." Chi Ke sent the saved file to the CTO, leaned forward in his chair, clasped his hands on his knees, and looked up at his assistant. "If you can become famous just by exposing your private life, then the cost of becoming a star is too low."
…
When Xu Lemian saw himself on the trending search, his heart beat so fast that it almost deafened his ears.
Ever since he hid in G City, he has been hidden away by Xingmian.
I don’t know what Leng Yunting was thinking. He never asked the legal department to contact him about the penalty for breach of contract. However, with the huge amount of compensation weighing on his head, he always felt like he couldn’t breathe, and he had been working hard to save money.
After confirming their relationship with Sima Yichen, they had a very sweet time.
Sima Yichen often bought him bags and jewelry, and took him on helicopter rides on holidays. When the plane flew over the sky, he could feel many people looking up at them. This kind of happiness was something Leng Yunting had never brought him.
But the good times didn't last long, and Sima Yichen came to see him less frequently.
It went from once a day to once every three days and then to once a week. At first I would reply to his messages to explain the reasons, but later I simply stopped replying.
Xu Lemian wondered if he was disappointed that he didn't respond to his feelings in time. After all, they had hardly kissed for such a long time, and Sima Yichen had at most kissed him on the face.
So one night, he plucked up the courage to take off his clothes and walked in front of Sima Yichen.
Sima Yichen jumped up from the bed as if he was frightened.
Xu Lemian still remembers the embarrassment he felt at that time.
He thought Sima Yichen would come to coax him afterwards.
The fact is, not only did I not coax him, I didn't even send him a greeting message.
He seemed fed up and bored and completely ignored him.
At that moment Xu Lemian realized that she was not in love with this man.
He couldn't even care as much about his substitute as Leng Yunting did.
His friends knew about their relationship and had been trying to persuade him to break up, but for some reason, Xu Lemian just couldn't bring himself to say it.
Sima Yichen definitely didn't agree to break up, he didn't want to hurt him.
After such a long time, Xu Lemian could only watch the gifts Sima Yichen sent from time to time to maintain their relationship, and couldn't help but think of the things Leng Yunting asked Chi Ke to buy every time.
At least……
Leng Yunting would even have someone deliver it to him personally.
Leng Yunting hasn't been involved in any gossip for a long time. Xu Lemian reads his previous revelations every night and feels so aggrieved that she wants to cry.
He doesn't understand.
I just want a simple and sincere relationship, why is it so difficult?
His life during that period was suffocatingly quiet.
I don't know why, but ever since he was fired from that restaurant last time, almost all relatively high-end places don't want him anymore.
Xu Lemian guessed that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended and could only endure it with tears.
Work to earn money, go home to sleep, receive a meager salary, and can only walk past the mall with your head down...
Every day he looked forward to the end of this torture-like suffering, not knowing when he could get back on track in his life.
When he was on the verge of collapse, Sima Yichen suddenly contacted him and said he would take him to a dinner party.
Xu Lemian thought that he should give the two of them a chance to reconcile and break the ice, so he agreed without much hesitation.
Fate is so clever.
When I thought of Leng Yunting most frequently, Leng Yunting appeared.
But he didn't appear alone.
And she brought a little boy who looked very similar to her.
The moment he saw the other person, Xu Lemian's whole body was shaking.
He was lost, jealous, and disgusted.
But I couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority.
Leng Yunting really did have some genuine feelings for him, and he hasn't gotten over it yet.
But so what?
They can't go back to the past.
Xu Lemian didn't want to see another person walk his own path again, so he kindly approached the little boy and told him the identity of his "stand-in".
The little boy covered his mouth in horror and said with trembling hands that it was impossible. He saw Leng Yunting out of the corner of his eye and rushed over to him, throwing himself into his arms and crying.
After hearing this, Leng Yunting, contrary to his usual irritable state, did not get angry. Instead, he jokingly ridiculed Xu Lemian for taking himself too seriously.
Xu Lemian's whole body was cold, and just when tears were about to fall, Sima Yichen, who had accidentally heard the entire conversation, rushed out and punched Leng Yunting heavily.
The scene suddenly became very chaotic.
Xu Lemian followed them to the hospital in a daze. At the door of the clinic, he heard Sima Yichen ask, "Why did you come to the hospital last time if you didn't like it?"
Leng Yunting was punched for no reason and was even more annoyed than him: "I'm here to see Su Jinmian!"
Xu Lemian didn't have the courage to listen to the rest of the words. He ran back home, locked himself up, turned his phone on airplane mode, and refused to see anyone.
But he overestimated himself.
After seeing the trending search, he immediately resumed communications, but there were not many missed calls and messages on the main page. The only two were from his part-time job informing him that he was fired.
Xu Lemian simply ignored it.
He had no time to care about his part-time job now. His mind was full of that trending search, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
what to do?
What should we do now that everyone knows his love history?
What will people say online? Will they suspect that he is Leng Yunting's previous mysterious "boyfriend"? Will they think that he and Sima Yichen are still in a good relationship? Will they speculate that Leng Yunting and Sima Yichen fell out because of him?
Xu Lemian hid in the quilt, watching in fear as the entry climbed up little by little, but stopped halfway.
After a while, the entry's ranking began to decline.
He was stunned, but without hesitation, he clicked on it and saw the most popular post.
【Comments: 167】
【Retweet:11】
【Likes: 46】
It’s very cold, so cold that almost no one cares about it.
When you click into the comment section, you'll usually see people tagging other accounts, with a few people posting "hahahaha". The rest will either sigh "your entertainment industry is so messy" or curse in passing, "Xu Lemian? Who? I don't know where this 18th-tier celebrity getting a mistress is a big news? I remember he was rumored to be having a mistress when he was at the height of his popularity..."
And then nothing happened.
When I clicked into the real-time discussion, the popularity was not very high. It took a long time before a real netizen posted a new thread. It was fun to watch.
Xu Lemian stared at the faint light from the screen, his eyes dull and his hands cold as a mirror.
A terrible thought suddenly popped up in his mind -
If I die like this, maybe no one will notice even if I stink.
The thought gripped his throat and he couldn't breathe.
He sat up suddenly and called Sima Yichen.
[Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment——]
He called Leng Yunting's number again - he had memorized it by heart and couldn't forget it.
[Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable——]
Xu Lemian lay down in a daze, staring at the ceiling until dawn.
His stomach growled and he came to his senses. He opened the app and randomly ordered a restaurant. It was very cheap, with a single meal set costing just over a hundred yuan.
He numbly operated his phone to pay.
[Insufficient balance]
Xu Lemian paused and changed the card.
[Insufficient balance]
ah.
I almost forgot.
Medical expenses are so much.
But when he was discharged from the hospital, he still had a few hundred thousand yuan left. How could it be spent so quickly?
Xu Lemian pursed his lips, exited the merchant page, and exchanged for a rice noodle roll for more than ten yuan.
This time I can pay.
But when the takeaway arrived, he took one bite and couldn't swallow it anymore, so he threw it all into the trash can.
Not for human consumption.
He would never eat such low-quality streamed food.
Xu Lemian applied for a new credit card, activated monthly payment, and placed an order for a single-person delivery meal from the restaurant again.
But he was particularly unlucky today.
The takeaway arrived five or six minutes later than expected, and some of the seafood porridge was spilled.
The delivery guy explained very apologetically that it was raining heavily today and he slipped on the road, so he could compensate him for part of the fee and hoped that he would not give a bad review or ask for a refund.
Xu Lemian felt very sympathetic towards him, but he was not going to eat cold food, so he regretfully said that he could only accept the full compensation option.
As for the cold meal, let the delivery man eat it. It happens that he definitely doesn't have the chance to eat this kind of meal normally, so this is also an opportunity.
It was obvious that only a little porridge spilled out, but the delivery man was required to pay the full amount. He was angry but didn't dare to say anything. Seeing that the next order was about to be overdue, he had no choice but to agree to this plan.
Xu Lemian, who was hungry, lay back down, looked at the small bedroom, and suddenly sat up and smashed his cell phone.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”
He looked at the shattered screen, his mind went blank and his chest ached dully.
He is clearly indispensable.
Why do these people ignore such existence?
Why are good people who work hard to live lost in the crowd?
Why didn't fate give him the treatment he deserved?
[You take yourself too seriously. ]
Leng Yunting's words echoed in his ears like a spell.
……impossible.
He didn't believe that those loving, hateful, and indifferent looks were just his fantasies. He didn't believe those gifts...
Yes, gifts, and gifts!
Xu Lemian rolled and crawled out of bed.
The cabinet door opened and a pile of gift boxes fell out instantly.
It was filled with gifts given to him by Leng Yunting and Sima Yichen.
Look, that's a lot of money.
He doesn’t take himself too seriously.
It means that someone really cares about him.
Xu Lemian held two bags and slowly sat back on the bed. Suddenly, he started laughing very loudly.
It will end sooner or later.
People won't always be so unlucky, and such days will end sooner or later.
What are Leng Yunting and Sima Yichen?
He just hasn't met the right person yet. Good things require waiting. He is still young and he is not in a hurry.
Xu Lemian staggered into the bathroom, dragging her leg that had not yet fully recovered. She was shocked when she saw herself in the mirror. She quickly picked up her phone with a broken screen and made an appointment for a beauty treatment tomorrow.
…
Ichizo heard from Xu Lemian again a week later on Christmas Day.
"He was blocked in an alley and had his leg broken. The attacker was a food delivery man, 40 years old, single, and his parents had been hospitalized for more than ten years due to serious illness. He took out a loan to pay for the treatment, but couldn't afford to pay anything, so he had to go to jail. Xu Lemian also chose conservative treatment, so his leg is probably broken."
Chi Ke sighed silently.
If you think about it carefully, he didn't do much regarding Xu Lemian. These things were completely beyond his expectations and were all Xu Lemian's own choices.
Even gods cannot save those who seek death.
Only today did the assistant realize the full purpose of his boss's actions. He was amazed and depressed and said, "It's not worth it for you to do it yourself to find the media."
In the past, he was asked to do it...
Ichisuke was terrified: Damn it, is there anyone who wants to take my job?!
However, this doubt was dispelled the next second.
"Are you addicted to overtime?" After working for a long time, the king of rolls, Ru Chi Ke, would also feel tired and want to slack off. He combined work and rest and gave his employees plenty of rest time. "It's too inhumane to ask you to work overtime immediately after returning from a business trip. The second assistant hasn't asked for leave for those two days, so we don't need any manpower... By the way, the second assistant sent wedding candies to everyone. They just arrived at the courier station, remember to pick them up."
The New Year is coming, and many families are rushing to prepare for weddings. For example, Erzhu took three days off to return to his hometown for the wedding.
Chi Ke gave him a big red envelope.
"I want love, too." The single guy Yizhu was touched to meet a good boss and kept looking up, "Oh, by the way, boss, when can we eat your wedding candy?"
As she spoke, she looked at the ring on his ring finger with a teasing look.
Chi Ke raised his eyebrows and looked at him calmly and generously: "Let's talk about it when you have time."
You can’t get married in the country.
Speaking of this, Chi Ke remembered that Ji Qian had been complaining angrily for a whole day. He just couldn't understand why this rich and bloody BL diploma didn't set a domestic background for same-sex marriage, and that one had to go abroad if they wanted to get the certificate.
Then we have to wait until they are all free.
"I still need to check with Ansel about next week's event." Chi Ke stood up, "But I'll be busy later, so just talk to him. If you're unsure, send me a message. Thank you for your hard work."
Today is a relatively important day.
After Ji Qian and Zhen Ting signed the transfer contract, they nominally left Shenghuijia.
He has recently been discussing his next job with a well-known professor, and his employment location has been basically determined. If nothing unexpected happens, he will start work after the New Year.
As a celebration of saying goodbye to the past, Chi Ke left work early and prepared a gift for him.
【The Great Gitzby: What gift? ! 】
【k: Confidential.】
…
When Ji Qian returned home and opened the door, the aroma of braised chicken hit him.
As soon as I smelled it, I knew it was cooked by her husband himself.
Chi Ke is a very good cook. He can cook food that suits his own taste and also suits the taste of the general public.
However, after falling in love, he changed his "public taste" to "Ji Qian taste".
I was leaning against the cupboard, looking at my phone and waiting for the countdown, when someone suddenly grabbed my waist.
He turned his head, and before he could say hello, his shirt was lifted up.
Chi Ke: “?”
Ji Qian pulled his shirt from top to bottom, muttered "No change", and prepared to take off his pants.
Chi Ke: “???”
Chi Ke quickly stopped him; "What are you doing?"
"Where's the gift?" Ji Qian wondered, "Didn't you say you had prepared a gift for me?"
Chi Ke: “…”
Chi Ke smiled speechlessly: "What's going on in your mind every day?"
"Isn't it?" Ji Qian couldn't help but feel regretful, "I think a lot of them are just decorating themselves... Ugh!"
Chi Ke pinched his shocking mouth and said expressionlessly: "Read less messy novels."
After saying that, he slapped a thick file bag on the counter into the man's arms.
Ji Qian curiously opened it——
It was a pile of review materials, application forms, and a birth certificate.
"When you got drunk and asked for a gift at the beginning of the year, was it because of your birthday?" Chi Ke said, "I have prepared everything for you. If you are willing, I will take you to apply for an ID card tomorrow."
Changing your ID number is very troublesome.
Chi Ke was able to think of this because he remembered that in the original novel, Li Xiuming helped Xu Lemian change his ID number, allowing him to escape Leng Yunting's pursuit.
From this we can see that the world is not very strict about such matters, at least they can be done quickly with special means.
He had been preparing for this matter with Li Xiuming for a long time. In order to contact the relevant personnel of the public institution, it took a lot of time and effort and paid a very considerable amount of money. He even felt a little painful.
But Chi Ke thinks it's worth it.
This person is not like me, he has no worries.
There is no solution to attachment, and perhaps having a little connection with him would make him feel better.
As long as Ji Qian likes it, it's worth it.
Ji Qian was silent for a long time, and Chi Ke explained: "The birth certificate is fake. There is really no other way. We can only try to make the date correct. After all, we are not yet fully acquainted with it——"
The second half of the sentence was sealed with a kiss.
The kiss was so light, so light that it was a little trembling.
In fact, Ji Qian had already obtained the most effective antidote.
But he didn't know how to fully convey this feeling to the antidote himself, so he could only kiss him seriously and say "I love you" over and over again.
The voice is low and hoarse.
But it is powerful.
The countdown alarm sounded.
Chi Ke noticed the hand on his waist trying to control his emotions, but he didn't push the person away. He opened his eyes, held his face with one hand and kissed him back, and turned off the fire with the other hand.
Ji Qian kissed very slowly, directly triggering their physical reactions.
Chi Ke was tired: "I can't eat this meal."
Ji Qian knelt down and kissed it: "You eat yours?"
Chi Ke leaned against the counter and put his finger to his lips in amusement: "Have you been to cram school recently?"
How come I suddenly understand so much after starting to eat meat?
Ji Qian hooked his tongue into it and said vaguely, "I've always known it."
Before, I only dared to think about it, but was too embarrassed to do it.
After that, they were so busy that they just did it briefly and conventionally last week.
I didn’t think it was a big deal before, but now that Ji Qian has become an idle person, I have more thoughts in my mind.
Chi Ke let him lick for a while, then pulled his hand away coldly: "No, I don't like eating alone."
Ji Qian's understanding of his endurance has been further improved, and he said in disbelief: "Can you eat like this?"
Chi Ke asked back: "Do you have a way to have the best of both worlds?"
Ji Qian blinked.
Chi Ke: “……?”
Really?
…
The chairs in the restaurant are not big enough to accommodate two adult men.
However, the load-bearing capacity is very good, and you can sit on it even if you stack them up.
"...Don't move, wait a moment." Chi Ke held his shoulders and lowered his head for a long time. Noticing his sneaky little movements, he frowned and pinched his neck, "I told you not to move."
"Hey!" Ji Qian didn't feel embarrassed after being caught, but was surprised to be noticed. "You can feel it even though I'm so careful?"
"I can even feel the beating of my blood vessels." Chi Ke was speechless. "Why don't you try?"
Ji Qian chose not to hear this topic and leaned over to kiss him: "What do you want to eat?"
"All is fine." Chi Ke exhaled, brushed his bangs back, and leaned his elbows back on the dining table.
Ji Qian's Adam's apple trembled slightly: "Husband, do you want to take off your shirt?"
Chi Ke said simply: "No."
Can I still eat after taking it off?
…
This dinner took almost two hours.
Afterwards, Ji Qian, who had eaten and drunk his fill, grunted as he cleaned up the mess, working willingly.
Chi Ke was lying on the sofa and talking on the phone. It looked like the negotiation process was not pleasant. Although his tone was calm, his speech speed was so fast that it made people feel frightened.
"The specific amount and deadline will need to be discussed at a meeting next week...Guarantee? I understand your company's R&D situation. Although the combination you want is relatively flexible, but..."
The lower back feels hot.
Chi Ke continued what he was going to say without pause and turned to look at Ji Qian who was putting a waist brace on him.
Noticing the gaze, Ji Qian naturally raised his hand and made a heart shape.
Chi Ke: “…”
Chi Ke suppressed his smile and said, "Well, OK, let's do this for now. I'm looking forward to meeting Mr. Chen next week."
"Did the talk go well?" Ji Qian asked.
"Not easy to talk to, but reasonable." When doing business, people come into contact with all kinds of personalities, this is considered good. Chi Ke said, "Where do you want to eat after I finish processing my documents tomorrow?"
Yu Cricket
Ji Qian immediately covered his face and said flattered: "Brother, are you going to treat me to a meal?"
Chi Ke was already used to him going crazy anytime and anywhere, so he said calmly, "How about letting a jobless vagrant like you treat me?"
Ji Qian, who is unemployed but worth over 100 million yuan, chooses to be kept by someone. He very politely massages the sponsor's legs and asks: "Where's your ID card?"
Chi Ke pointed to the drawer and said, "It's already been done."
Ji Qian has always been curious about Chi Ke's birthday, so he pretended to mention it casually, but the other party did not give a clear answer, only saying that it was early winter.
Early winter.
This winter is almost over, and I haven’t asked for a specific date.
He was so anxious that he didn't care about his obsessive-compulsive disorder anymore. He buried his head in rummaging through the drawers, and the tidy drawers instantly became messy.
Chi Ke resisted the urge to beat him up and closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind: "Remember to clean it up later."
"Okay!" Ji Qian finally took out the small card.
The ID photo was taken recently. Chi Ke rarely combed his bangs up, with only a few strands of hair falling down. His heroic facial features were all revealed in front of the camera. He had a calm expression and was completely without makeup. He had no tricks, but was just handsome.
Ji Qian admired it for a while with a proud attitude, and then slowly moved his eyes to the numbers in the lower row.
1031.
Ji Qian was stunned.
The day when Chi Ke sneaked away to City G when he was on a business trip?
That day…
"My parents' anniversary."
Ji Qian looked up in surprise.
Chi Ke sat up at some point and was looking at him quietly.
The author has something to say:
I don’t know if I can finish the next chapter, I’ll try to finish it tomorrow!
