The sun was blazing overhead, and seeing that the young master's delicate face was flushed but he remained stubborn, the gatekeeper, fearing he might get sunburned, opened the gate: "Why don't you come first? Wait in my pavilion?"
Qi Chen touched his forehead, thought for no more than three seconds, and agreed, "Okay."
There's no need to be so hard on yourself.
After all, it's unclear when his brother will be back. No, he didn't even get to see him before he suffered heatstroke outside the door.
After inviting the man in and having him sit down, the gatekeeper stood in front of Qi Chen and asked, "Young Master, how about this? If you don't want to contact the Master, I'll speak to him for you."
"No need." With the air conditioning blowing cold air, Qi Chen crossed his legs, a hint of comfort on his young and handsome face. "I'll wait for my brother here. Don't stand, sit down."
He wanted to see what would happen to him.
What other family has a younger brother who, instead of returning to China, becomes a doorman for his own older brother?
"Okay." The gatekeeper smiled. He pulled up a stool and sat in the corner, but secretly he was on his guard.
After sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, Qi Chen was exhausted. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and rested.
While the security guard was resting, he took out his phone and sent a text message to the man.
-
Men's clothing store.
At the men's request, the shop assistants did not stay with them.
Only Fang Zhi and Qi Shen were sandwiched between two rows of clothes, facing each other, staring at each other for a long time.
Qi Shen's Adam's apple bobbed, and he spoke slowly and deliberately:
Does Zhizhi mean I'm getting old?
Fang Zhi bit her lip lightly. "Brother," she explained dryly, "that's not what I meant."
Qi Shen's long, slender hands, tucked into his trouser pockets, exuded a lazy yet undeniably sharp aura. His tall, jade-like figure, with its firm, flowing muscles concealed beneath his clothes, resembled an elegant, poised jaguar.
He looked at her calmly, clearly dissatisfied with her explanation and not intending to accept it.
Fang Zhi pulled her hand holding the clothes back again and again, feeling quite helpless. After thinking for a long time, she carefully spoke: "I feel that the style of clothes here is not suitable for you, brother."
This statement, along with the idea that the clothes here are suitable for young people, reached Qi Shen's ears in a similar way.
"So Zhizhi was thinking of me all along." He drawled out his words, his tone relaxed and leisurely.
The premise is to ignore his increasingly obscure eyes.
Fang Zhi opened her mouth but then silently closed it again. She thought she shouldn't explain; the more she explained, the more confused she would become.
She never expected her brother to react so strongly to her casual remark. Did other men react the same way?
Why would someone care so much about their age?
Qi Shen gazed quietly at the young girl's youthful, clear, and beautiful face. He had never felt old before.
At 27, a man's career is at its peak, and his business empire has already reached its zenith.
Whether in terms of family background or personal ability, he has already reached the pinnacle of his age group, and has even surpassed the achievements of those who strive their whole lives to succeed in their later years.
But faced with the girl's words, Qi Shen began to doubt whether he was old in her eyes because he was seven years older than her.
Qi Shen was inherently a deep and suspicious person.
The girl's words made him think more and more deeply.
So could he interpret this as Zhizhi meaning that she prefers younger people, people her own age?
Fang was unaware that the man's heart was already in turmoil because of her words, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts.
She could only sense that his expression was unpredictable and that the oppressive feeling in his gaze was growing stronger.
Finally unable to bear the deathly silence any longer, Fang Zhi moved her lips and asked softly, "Brother, are you still going to choose?"
To better showcase the clothes, the store was brightly lit, illuminating the man's handsome, deep-set face with exceptional clarity.
He nodded slightly. "Of course." A faint smile appeared on his thin lips. "Continue choosing."
Fang Zhi had learned his lesson and no longer cared about whether the clothes were conservative; he only picked the ones with nice designs.
As Qi Shen watched the girl bustling about among the clothes racks, a hint of melancholy crept into his refined and handsome features.
He couldn't understand what was so great about those arrogant and immature peers. Apart from age, what else could they compare to him in?
The man's thoughts were interrupted by the vibration of his phone in his pocket.
Qi Shen glanced at the young girl who was still comparing clothes, then took out his phone and opened the message.
【Sir, your brother is currently in Nangong. I dare not let him in without your permission.】
Qi Shen frowned slightly. Xiao Chen?
Isn't he supposed to be back next month?
Moreover, he specifically mentioned during his last phone call with Xiao Chen that he would stay at the old villa when he returned.
Neither of them is easy to deal with.
Qi Shen, who had just been subtly described as "old" by the young girl, now also disliked his own greenhorn brother.
Long, slender, clean fingers tapped the screen, sending a concise reply to security.
Ignore him and let him wait at the door.
Upon receiving the man's reply, the gatekeeper thought there was something wrong with his eyes, so he rubbed them and looked again.
Oh, his eyes weren't wrong.
The gatekeeper's gaze drifted silently to the boy who was sleeping uncomfortably against the chair, then he sighed softly.
It's not his fault.
Since the master himself said not to let him in, then this precious young master can only make do.
-
The shop assistant carefully wrapped all the clothes and respectfully handed them to the man. "Hello, the total bill for the two of you is 97,000 yuan. Would you like to pay by card or cash?"
