Chapter 40 A Person's Sullen Feelings Li Chang was outside calling people to eat...

Li Chang called for people to eat outside, but no one answered for a long time. He pushed open the door, and the last rays of the setting sun disappeared as the sun went down the mountain, leaving the room dark and filled with a heavy yin energy. Had his son been turned into an evil sword immortal by someone else because he was too cunning?

He turned on the light, and the room suddenly became bright. At first glance, he didn't see anyone on the chair. He walked in, but still didn't see anyone. Had they gone out sometime ago?

He glanced around and spotted a corner of clothing under the clothes rack, playing hide-and-seek with it.

Li Chang strode forward and yanked open the sliding clothes rack: "Heh heh, you little rascal, still trying to hide from me..."

He became quieter and quieter as he spoke, his thin figure huddled in the corner, Ning Buyi hugging his knees and burying his head in them, not looking like he was playing hide-and-seek at all.

He gently touched the lump of people in front of him, as if afraid his elbow would shatter it: "What's wrong with you, you rascal?"

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Li Chang reached out and tugged at his clothes again: "Hey, say something."

The air remained as quiet as Ning Buyi's gaming technology.

Li Chang had no choice but to use his ultimate move. He leaned close to Ning Buyi's ear and whispered, "I know your WeChat payment password."

He didn't know that he was taking a gamble.

"You're the one who doesn't know." Hearing the muffled voice, Li Changdu laughed speechlessly. He pushed Ning Buyi and said, "That's enough. It's not like your money was stolen or your wife was robbed."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, he finally raised his bloodshot eyes, looked at the grinning man in front of him, and angrily reached out to press his face down, his voice like that of a vengeful ghost: "You don't understand at all."

How could a bachelor like him understand the pain of being hurt in love?

Li Chang chuckled twice, thinking, "This little brat doesn't even know what's what." He brushed the hands off his face and replied, "Fine, I don't understand, I don't understand. Get up and eat."

"I won't eat it, you can eat it." After saying that, Ning Buyi retreated into his shell like a turtle. "I want to be alone for a while."

Hey, did the sun rise in the west or did the Soviet Union suddenly come back to life? How come that bastard is now skipping meals? That's strange.

Li Chang gripped his chin with his hand and pressed, "What's wrong with you? Does your girlfriend think the gift you're offering is too tacky?"

Ning Buyi shook his head, because he didn't even have a chance to express his surprise.

The confusion in Li Chang's eyes deepened, but he still managed to say, "My sister said my money was dirty..."

Ning Buyi rambled on and on about what had happened. Only then did he realize that the advertisement Ning Buyi had taken was for stockings. He thought it was alright, though. Did they think it was disgusting for him to dress up as a woman?

"Explain yourself, you're straight."

Ning Buyi didn't speak. He just silently opened his phone's chat window to see if his sister had replied. A green glow shone on his face, and at that moment, silence spoke louder than words.

Li Chang choked for a moment, then comforted her, "I don't think this is your fault. She might have misunderstood. If you make the gift and surprise her, maybe she won't be angry anymore."

Upon hearing this, the boy blinked, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes: "Really?"

Li Chang came up with another brilliant idea. He patted Ning Buyi on the shoulder and said, "Really, and I'll pay for it. That way, she won't be able to complain."

Ning Buyi slapped Li Chang's thigh. His brother was right! Since his sister thought his money was dirty, then borrowing money from others wouldn't be dirty. Ning Buyi suddenly felt like the day had dawned. He would do it tomorrow!

Li Chang clutched his leg and pouted. This was definitely retaliation. How could he say his phone wasn't locked that day?

The pale moonlight streamed sparsely across the solid wood floor, and the calming scent of pine filled the bedroom. White bubbles popped up continuously in a chat box, and the man's slender fingers turned the pages of a book.

But suddenly it felt obscure and difficult to understand.

Finally, resigned, he picked up his phone and scanned it line by line, but his expression didn't improve much. He had no idea where he had gone wrong.

At the same time, another WeChat message popped up. It was from the same person, who smiled mockingly and asked him to help make matching rings for himself and his girlfriend. How could he be so brazenly "cheating"?

He paused his fingertip on the screen for a moment, then turned off his phone and tossed it aside. He really treated it like a dog.

The clouds outside the window drifted freely, and Zhu Yan's eyes were indifferent. She had received an urgent phone call this morning and was now on a business trip plane.

One of our partners suddenly had some issues, so the contract, which was originally signed in our city, now has to be moved to their city.

He pondered for a moment, then delayed replying to Ning Buyi's messages. When he woke up in the morning, Ning Buyi still bombarded his chat window, but Zhu Yanhe still didn't intend to respond.

Ning Buyi, who had been stood up for half a day, didn't know why his two closest friends suddenly stopped wanting to talk to him. The ring-making project had to be postponed, and now he could only silently hold his phone and keep sending messages to Zhu Yanhe.

City A.

Inside the elegantly decorated hotel, a woman of similar charm extended her hand to him: "Mr. Zhu, I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip."

He politely returned the handshake and smiled, saying, "This is what a partner should do."

The person in front of me is Jiang Ci, the heir of the Jiang Zhou Group. He doesn't seem like an easy person to talk to. Both sides have invested a lot in the cooperation.

Jiang Ci raised his chin and explained apologetically, "I'm really sorry, but my wife is competing abroad right now, and I have to rush to see her."

He thought for a moment and added, "Oh, Mr. Zhu, you might not know, but my wife is Yu Zhou, the three-time world champion, yes, the one from OV, Sun."

Zhu Yanhe looked at his smug and boastful expression and was somewhat speechless: "I've heard so much about you."

Jiang Ci wasn't as difficult to talk to as the rumors suggested. He did know Yu Zhou, and it took him a while to recall who the person in front of him was. He couldn't help but give his fellow human beings a more scrutinizing look.

After the casual conversation ended, Zhu Yanhe glanced at the contents of the document, then gripped the pen and wrote a few strong and vigorous characters.

Jiang Ci tapped his crossed legs lightly, watching the decisive way he signed the document, and said, "President Zhu, I think the AI ​​industry has a promising future recently."

With a click, Zhu Yanhe capped his pen and nodded slightly: "President Jiang is interested?"

He probed Jiang Ci, saying that Zhu Yan and he had researched it before and it was indeed a good project. There weren't many people watching it since it had just emerged. Only when someone dared to be the first to make money would a large number of people flock to it.

"No, I must say goodbye now, I need to go find my wife." Jiang Ci glanced at his watch and hurriedly stood up—his wife's match!

In the blink of an eye, only he and his assistant remained in the private room.

"Mr. Zhu, shall we eat before we leave?" The assistant stared at the table full of food and swallowed hard, even though he hadn't eaten anything that morning.

He glanced at the table and saw that half of it contained Ning Buyi's favorite foods. If Ning Buyi were here, he would probably be eating until his mouth was greasy.

Zhu Yan nodded slightly, took out her phone from her pocket, and saw that Ning Buyi hadn't sent any more messages. His last message was...

Zhu Yanhe, why aren't you replying to my messages?

He stared at it for a moment, then finally put the phone back in his pocket. He couldn't face Ning Buyi; was his innocent appearance really just a facade?

Ning Buyi could like money, he could like his money, so why did he choose this path?

He still has things to take care of and can't get away right now, but when he gets back, he'll make Ning Buyi remember this with his body.

What's the itinerary for the next few days?

Upon hearing this, the assistant checked his phone: "There's a project here that requires on-site inspection in the next few days."

"Press it a day earlier."

The blinding light pierced through the trees on both sides and shone directly into Ning Buyi's eyes, forcing him to squint even while wearing a helmet.

Zhu Yanhe didn't reply to him, so he decided to go by himself; the matter of appeasing his sister couldn't be delayed! He set off with a small electric scooter and a GPS navigator.

The handmade shop's signboard is a lovely pink color, standing out prominently among a group of shops.

"Hey, Pei Qing, how long has it been since you came out to play with us?" Several young masters of his generation asked him.

Pei Qing lazily raised her eyes: "My father is too controlling, he has the will but not the heart."

His father has loosened his control over him a bit recently, so he has some time to come out and get some fresh air.

One of the young men put his arm around his shoulder: "Come on, let me find you a few girls to go have some fun with?"

Pei Qing didn't hear what he said. His eyes were drawn to a boy in a hoodie in the distance. Even though he was wearing a helmet, he recognized him. What was he doing here?

Pei Qing brushed the hand off his shoulder and said dismissively, "You guys have fun."

He turned and walked straight toward the boy. Ning Buyi was following the navigation with his head down when suddenly a wall of flesh blocked his way. He didn't notice and crashed straight into it.

He thought he'd bumped into a wall and was about to blame the navigation for the thing in front of him moving when Ning Buyi looked up and exclaimed, "Pei Qing? Are you trying to scam me?!"

He hadn't been able to see clearly because he was wearing a helmet, but Pei Qing definitely saw him, and if she did, why didn't she hide!

Pei Qing took two steps back, clutching her chest, her face contorted in pain: "It hurts so much, you bumped into me and you won't even admit it."

Pei Qing's expression didn't seem fake, and his heart skipped a beat. He stepped forward to check on her: "Are you alright?"

Please don't let anything happen to you. If it gets so serious that you have to go to the hospital, wouldn't that be like robbing him out of his pocket?

Pei Qing opened her arms: "Maybe a hug from you would be enough."

Ning Buyi looked doubtful and hesitant, his heart wavering.

He put on an even more convincing act, occasionally letting out a cry of pain. Successfully fooling the boy in front of him, the boy took a step forward and walked towards him, and Pei Qing pulled him into his arms.

A few friends who were standing a little further away watched the whole thing, looked at each other in bewilderment, and none of them could find a single word to close their mouths.

"No, when did Pei Qing become so... strong?"

"Is that a man? When did he become gay?"

"No wonder they let us go out and play; I bet they'll be spending a lot of time with that little helmet these next few days."

One second Pei Qing hugged someone, the next second the photo was circulated in their circle, and the young master with his arm around the person posted it on his WeChat Moments.

"Girls, your number two most desired marriage partner is already taken."

Now, it's not just these few people who are shocked; everyone in the circle who saw it has been attacked. Pei Qing is a womanizer, but didn't he pride himself on being able to dabble in countless women without getting attached?

So they were defeated by this helmet?

Because the picture shows Pei Qing holding Ning Buyi, who is wearing a helmet, they are not sure if it is a man or a woman.

Author's note: If you taste a drop of vinegar from outer space, you'll get a spanking!

Ning Buyi is a real character; he inadvertently drove Zhu Yan to his death—in this respect, no one dares to claim second place. [Rabbit head with upright ears]

After they got together, Ning Buyi would come out of the bathroom naked, then pull Zhu Yanhe's pajamas onto himself. Zhu Yanhe would take the opportunity to rub his smooth buttocks a couple of times, inadvertently revealing his firm pectoral muscles. He'd then say, "With your small frame, you're wearing my clothes?" This would prompt Ning Buyi to bite his chest as a reward. [Rabbit head with upright ears]
