Chapter 154 Xie Hengzhi X Yun Qing (07)
Xie Hengzhi had always known that Yun Qing only appeared obedient on the surface, just like his docile behavior at home and his submissiveness in front of him.
In fact, once he sets his mind on something, he has the determination to burn his bridges, just like when he was terrified but still mustered the courage to make the deal.
That day he said he would take over the Yun family, and he really did join the Yuntian Group. Without any connections, he could only start from the bottom. In addition, with his double degree courses, he was so busy that he could hardly see anyone except when he went home at night.
"I feel like I haven't seen Yun Qing in ages," Pei Yizhong said, bumping into Lin Han as he saw him off. "You two, did you have a fight?"
Xie Hengzhi has been busy lately. His family has been setting him up to get in touch with high-ranking military and political figures to pave the way for the future. This is all part of what he should do and he's used to it.
He replied casually, "No, I'm busy building my career."
Pei Yizhong smiled and deliberately teased him: "You've realized you can't be relied on, so you've decided to grow wings and fly away on your own, right?"
Xie Hengzhi smiled and said, "If that's the case, then it's good. He has chosen the most difficult path and wants to become the head of the Yun family. In this way, he can legitimately exchange benefits."
Others exchange partners to take shortcuts, but Yun Qing went through a long and winding road just so she could stand openly with him. She's incredibly foolish, yet it's also heartbreaking.
Pei Yizhong was speechless and said, "What a great love you have. You really are... What have you done to deserve this?"
Xie Hengzhi also mocked himself: "I also feel that I have no merit or ability to deserve someone like me. Is it worth it?"
Pei Yizhong grew up with him and knew that this man was extremely emotionally deprived.
He was usually extremely indifferent to the suffering of others, so this was the first time I had seen him show a look of heartache.
He didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him by saying, "If he thinks it's worth it, then it's worth it. No one else can judge. Yun Qing suffered a lot when he was young, so he must know best what he wants."
Xie Hengzhi hummed in agreement, and under the other person's shocked gaze, he waved the cake in his hand: "I'm not talking anymore, I'm going to go pick him up from get off work."
After a week of busy project work, Yun Qing didn't get home until midnight every day. Today she got home a little earlier, but when she got in the car, she was holding her favorite cake and looked a little listless.
"What's wrong?" Xie Hengzhi started the car, glanced at him, and quickly sensed that something was wrong. "Who bullied you today?"
Yun Qing said with a resentful expression, "Your dad."
Xie Hengzhi raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
“I ran into him when I went to discuss the collaboration today.” Yun Qing poked at the cream on the cake with a small spoon, imagining it as the head of the Xie family’s old man, her movements quite fierce. “He asked me if I was messing around with you.”
Xie Hengzhi had basically imagined that tone, and his expression became a little serious: "How will you reply?"
"I said yes, he's messing around every day," Yun Qing said angrily, "but someone is like a saint, he doesn't touch me at all."
Xie Hengzhi hummed in agreement, then slowly changed the subject: "I thought you were angry because he humiliated you, but it turns out you're angry about this."
"They also humiliated me, saying I wasn't on their list of potential marriage partners and that I shouldn't daydream." Yun Qing didn't take these words to heart and went back to the point, saying, "Let's make it a done deal tonight."
This would happen roughly every three days. Xie Hengzhi reminded him, "You said you wanted to focus on work and study."
“But I need encouragement too. If you keep being so cold, I’ll feel like you don’t like me at all,” Yun Qing muttered. “Even just a little bit.”
Xie Hengzhi disagreed with his opinion, wondering why he was so fixated on this: "Does it have to be that matter to confirm it?"
"Impulsiveness explains everything. We lie together every day, which is not normal."
Yun Qing stuffed half a cake into her mouth, finally feeling a bit better. "Okay, since you helped me queue up to buy dessert, I can tell you like it a little bit."
Xie Heng thought to himself, being forced to do something he absolutely hated, standing in a crowd for two hours to buy a cake, and enduring the scrutinizing gazes of others, was probably more than just a little bit of a burden.
Yun Qing was simply instilled with some strange values by his mother, who insisted that a relationship must be confirmed through marriage, but that wasn't the case.
He was afraid that Yun Qing would regret it.
Since the future is already uncertain, it would be best to minimize the harm to him.
The car was parked in the parking lot below the apartment building, but Yun Qing didn't move. She leaned closer to look into his eyes, wanting an answer: "Do you like me even a little bit now?"
Xie Hengzhi opened the car door and got out, then unbuckled the man from the seatbelt from the other side. The man didn't move, but just sat there reaching out to hug him. Helpless, Xie Hengzhi bent down, picked him up, and locked the door.
Yun Qing, spoiled and arrogant, even though she didn't have to walk, still tilted her head and persistently asked, "Do you like me even a little bit now?"
Xie Hengzhi ignored him.
Once inside the elevator, there were a few other people standing there. Xie Hengzhi lowered his eyes, held the person in his arms, and stood to the side, not caring much about other people's gazes.
His tall and imposing figure was already eye-catching, making the person in his arms appear petite, inevitably leading to speculation. It was indeed a bit too ostentatious.
Yun Qing didn't care. She still remembered the question from earlier and whispered in his ear, "Do you like me even a little bit now?"
Passersby overheard this and thought it sounded like a young couple flirting, so they covered their mouths and chuckled. Xie Hengzhi remained expressionless and silent.
When we got to the floor, I just carried him there, easily carrying him home without letting him walk an inch.
He put it on the sofa and then said, "I met with the director of the military department at noon. He agreed to let you take the tranquilizer you developed for testing. If it passes the test, it can be listed as a special drug for the military."
He paused, then added, "With connections to the military, Yuntian R&D will have no worries about upstream or downstream operations—it'll be a secure job. You just focus on your research; I'll help you with business expansion."
"Really!" Yun Qing beamed and cupped his face, kissing him twice. "You're so amazing! You're working hard for our future too, right? You love me so much!"
Xie Hengzhi smiled: "I don't like it."
"Liar, you're being sarcastic, I don't believe you." Yun Qing didn't listen at all; this guy's mouth was too tight, and she couldn't hear a single nagging word from him.
Xie Hengzhi laughed again: "Then why did you ask?"
Although he didn't say it directly, Yun Qing was very satisfied with the answer, so he pounced on him and kissed him. However, after only two minutes, Xie Hengzhi grabbed the back of his neck and moved him away, creating distance between them.
He stared at the other person without blinking, utterly puzzled: "Why won't you let me kiss you again?"
"It's my most vulnerable period, so don't move around too much. I'm going to take a shower." Xie Hengzhi stood up restrainedly.
Yun Qing sighed, no longer wanting to eat the cake, and sat on the sofa, chin in hand, lost in thought.
After thinking for a moment, he pulled over the row of inhibitors in the drawer and broke them off without any expression, very decisively.
After taking a shower, Xie Hengzhi came out wearing a bathrobe, ready to get two injections. He looked at the wreckage in a trash can and fell into deep thought.
"Are you serious?"
Yun Qing looked up at him, her eyes filled with lust for his well-defined muscles beneath his bathrobe, and then solemnly explained, "Inhibitors are harmful to the body. I'm a perfect score in biology, I know more about it than you do."
Xie Hengzhi hummed in agreement, unmoved: "So you're starting to push your luck again."
"The Omega is right here, why would I need an inhibitor?" Yun Qing seized the opportunity to promote herself, "Fair skin, beautiful, and a powerful anti-inflammatory, want one?"
Xie Hengzhi gave a half-smile, not wanting to continue arguing with him about this issue: "If you keep this up, I'm going home to sleep tonight."
Yun Qing gripped his tie, her eyes wet, her voice growing softer and softer: "Why? Why? I can't understand."
Xie Hengzhi lowered his eyes. He was already feeling very uncomfortable during his sensitive period, and he had to explain to him again and again: "I've said it many times, you're not an Omega that I use to sleep with."
These words took on a completely different meaning when heard, and Yun Qing was shocked: "So you need to find another Omega to do this."
Xie Hengzhi: "..."
This is something that could be solved with a few inhibitors, I don't know why he went around to this, it's really too unreasonable.
Yun Qing's eyes were already red, and she didn't seem to be acting; she genuinely felt wronged: "Not only are you going to marry another young lady, but you even have to find someone else during your sensitive period. You don't like anyone at all..."
Xie Hengzhi closed his eyes briefly.
She leaned down and shut his incessant chatter with a kiss, threatening, "Try talking nonsense again."
With just a touch, Yun Qing responded enthusiastically.
There's simply no way to resist it.
"When did you buy this set?" Xie Hengzhi asked him lazily.
"I never imagined it would take so long to use it after we moved in," Yun Qing said with a hint of regret. "But I think you're the kind of person who wouldn't take the next step unless you had something to offer."
Xie Hengzhi hummed in agreement, pinched the back of his neck, and kissed him silently.
Yun Qing looked at him with eyes full of affection, as if she were looking at her whole world, and whispered, "Actually, I really don't want to use this. I want to have babies for you, two, just two."
As he spoke, he began to daydream: "You and I will both grow up to be very good-looking. I will definitely teach them well and they won't end up like us, unhappy children."
Just imagining that scene made Yun Qing almost faint with happiness; a happy little family was the future she had always dreamed of.
"Don't even think about it." Xie Hengzhi quickly dismissed his idea. "You haven't even grown up yet, what are you going to have?"
Yun Qing looked up and kissed the sweat on his chin in a coaxing manner, still unwilling to give up, and said, "In the future, when I marry you."
"There won't be any more in the future."
It was probably during the most vulnerable period that Alphas developed their weaknesses. After knowing each other for five years, Xie Hengzhi finally revealed himself frankly for the first time.
"Yun Qing, I only want you."
