Chapter 418: Just a Bed, a Breakup Gift
"Ji Chen, you're not giving me a house as compensation because you feel bad about sleeping with me for so long?"
Ji Chen didn't say anything, just pursed his lips. It was obvious that this was what he meant.
Qin Lei laughed immediately and put the contract down.
"No, we're still dating, and it's a mutual agreement. I don't need any compensation. Besides, when you broke up with your previous boyfriend, did you give him a house as compensation?"
Ji Chen fell silent again.
Seeing his silence, Qin Lei gradually put away the smile on his face and fell silent as well, his eyes fixed on the contract for a long time.
"Damn, are people in China so generous when it comes to dating? Or was I just too stingy before?"
Ji Chen didn't understand the meaning of his words for a moment, but he soon realized it.
He laughed unexpectedly and raised his hand to rub his forehead.
Qin Lei frowned. "What are you laughing at? The people I met in Country M were all willing to date. If they were a good match, they would break up with each other. If they weren't, they would break up with each other. They really don't have the habit of giving houses and cars as gifts, so you should take it back. If you think like that, I'd be bankrupt eight hundred times."
The last sentence was just Qin Lei's mumbling to himself.
"Sign it."
Qin Lei still insisted and shook his head to refuse, "I don't want it."
Ji Chen was actually curious. Normally in this situation he would happily accept it, thank him, and then continue to please him and thank him for the gift.
"Can you tell me why you refused?"
Qin Lei slumped on the sofa like a fool.
"I'm not a woman. We're in a relationship, aren't we? Isn't breaking up normal? You made up a contract like this, making it seem like I'm being kept by you. What would become of me if I really accepted you? Would I be able to hold my head high and be a big shot in the future?"
He is not a man who lives off his wife!
Ji Chen laughed instead, "Just because of this?"
"Yeah, my man's self-esteem is not worth the price of a house."
Ji Chen stared at him for a few seconds and then confirmed again: "Have you thought it over? Are you really not going to sign it?"
Qin Lei yawned and shook his head. "No, no, you might as well tell me the specific date of breaking up so I can prepare. I haven't even found a house yet. If you suddenly decide to break up, I'll have to live on the street."
Ji Chen was silent for a few seconds and looked at him, "When do you want to go?"
Qin Lei perked up when he heard this, "Does it matter what I say?"
Ji Chen curled the corners of his lips, "Okay."
"How about the 10th of next month?" Qin Lei blurted out, "I looked at the calendar. The 10th of next month is a good day!"
Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at his excitement in silence.
"So much anticipation?"
Qin Lei twitched his lips and said, "Not really. I originally wanted to pick a middle number so you wouldn't suffer any loss. But I looked at the days ahead and they didn't seem very auspicious, so I chose number 10."
Ji Chen wouldn't really bother with him about these five days, but it was already the end of the month.
"It's up to you to decide."
Qin Lei immediately stood up from the sofa and said, "Then I'll go back to my room to take a shower and look for an apartment. It seems that it's quite difficult to find an apartment near the company..."
He muttered to himself and went into the bedroom.
Ji Chen sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his eyes fell on the contract, and finally stood up, picked it up and threw it into the trash can.
Qin Lei jumped into bed after taking a shower without even drying his hair. He had already started looking for an apartment.
But after looking around, he fell silent until Ji Chen pushed the door open.
Seeing his expression, Ji Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"
“Are housing prices in Hong Kong so expensive?”
Ji Chen smiled. "Regret it? The contract is in the trash can. If you regret it, you can pick it up and sign it. It's valid at any time."
"I don't regret it, but a man should keep his word."
After saying that, Qin Lei began to look down at his phone and scroll through the screen.
I don’t like the cheap ones, and the ones I like are too expensive.
They used to live together in Country M and shared the rent equally, which wasn't much.
"The rent is too expensive. Why don't I just move to Lily's place..."
Ji Chen took his phone away, and Qin Lei looked up at him in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you talking about Miss Ding?"
"It's her. You've met her a few times. What's wrong?"
"Does she have a boyfriend?"
Qin Lei shook his head, "No."
"Is her sexual orientation normal?"
"That's normal. No, why are you asking these questions? You're not planning to take advantage of him, are you? I'm warning you not to. If you dare to do anything to Lily, Xu Ge will definitely fight you to the death!"
Ji Chen looked at him speechlessly, "You think too much, I'm not interested in women."
"Then why are you looking so closely?"
"As a man, regardless of your sexual orientation, if you live in a single woman's home, do you think it will affect her life?"
Qin Lei immediately shook his head, "No, I will protect her, and we have always lived together before, what's the problem?"
"Qin Lei, this is not
This is Country M, where men and women living together are only in a relationship."
Qin Lei was stunned, still not seeming to understand what he was trying to express.
Ji Chen said directly: "You will affect her normal friendships, especially boyfriends of the opposite sex, do you understand?"
Qin Lei suddenly understood and nodded, "Oh, oh, that's what you mean..."
"What you said makes some sense. After all, this isn't Country M. It seems like there are indeed people who gossip..."
Qin Lei was a little confused. "Then give me your phone and let me take a look."
"Which one do you like?"
"I quite like this decoration style, but it's too expensive, 16,000 yuan a month."
"Can I help you rent it?"
"How can I ask you to help me rent a house if I don't even want the house you gave me? Forget it, I'll just look for one myself. There are still a few days left anyway."
After saying that, he grabbed his phone, lay down on his side, and sent a message to the work group.
He asked everyone to help him find a house with good environment and cheap rent near the company.
"Ji Chen?"
Ji Chen had also lain down, but he didn't sleep. It was still early. In the past, they were still exercising at this time. He couldn't sleep, so he could only read medical books.
"Just tell me if you have something to say."
"Where did you buy this bed?"
Ji Chen glanced at him sideways, "Like it?"
Qin Lei nodded honestly, "Yeah, it's quite comfortable to sleep in..."
"I'll give you one when you move."
Qin Lei was about to speak when Ji Chen interrupted him.
"It's just a bed, consider it a parting gift."
Qin Lei opened his mouth and then stopped refusing. It was just a bed. He didn't dare to ask for a house, so was he embarrassed to ask for a bed?
"Okay, thank you then."
"Well, you're welcome."
