Chapter 42: It’s too early to reveal Hua Yichen’s optimism…
It was too early for Hua Yichen to be optimistic.
After Ye Shubai turned over, his back was the worst affected area by the whip marks.
"Throw away the whip later." Hua Yichen said suddenly.
Ye Shubai's voice was filled with an ambiguous and pleading tone, faintly like boiling water, and even caused his shoulders to tremble slightly. "Master, can you let me handle the whip?"
"Of course." Hua Yichen didn't think this was a big deal. He even hoped that Ye Shubai would handle it. He was about to cry, so he just went along with him.
Again, if you deal with it, you can't deal with him.
Although Ye Shubai didn't dare, perhaps he would feel better if he let Ye Shubai handle it.
Hua Yichen didn't know that Ye Shubai, having received the agreement, wasn't about to cry, but was clearly overwhelmed with emotion. Ye Shubai's eyes dimmed slightly. It seemed the young master didn't know yet that he was the one who first found the whip last night.
It's impossible to lose it, it's better to keep it as a treasure.
Ye Shubai fell into deep thought. Hua Yichen's condition today was similar to the beginning of last night—very awkward and needing his guidance to know what to do. If Hua Yichen hadn't gradually become more proficient, Ye Shubai would have believed the rumors to be false. But the young master's performance this morning...
Maybe the rumor was true? But no matter what, Ye Shubai said he wouldn't let the person escape.
Hua Yichen: "Okay, I've already asked for leave for you today. Have a good rest at home."
"What about the young master?" Ye Shubai let the clothes hang for a while before slowly putting them down. He turned around and asked Hua Yichen.
Thinking about the trick he had been tricked with last night, and seeing the look in the eyes of the man in front of him who hoped he would stay, he finally said, "I'll go out later. Are you hungry? Let's go downstairs to eat first."
"Okay." A hint of regret flashed in Ye Shubai's eyes. Hua Yichen's ability to stay with him for a while longer made him visibly happy.
Like a fluffy ball, Hua Yichen couldn't help but ruffle Ye Shubai's hair: "Okay, let's eat first. It's okay to go with me later."
"Really?" Ye Shubai's eyes completely lit up.
"Of course. But you have to eat first."
Ye Shubai was immediately excited. He took Hua Yichen's hand and prepared to go downstairs to eat together.
"Hiss" he pulled violently, and the back of his hand, which had been pinched to prevent his consciousness from falling into chaos, was bruised. The pain that he had ignored came back to his mind.
Instantly, Hua Yichen hissed uncontrollably, becoming accustomed to this level of pain. Just as he was about to take Ye Shubai's hand and go down together, his hand was held up first.
The purple veins on his originally fair hand had disappeared, replaced by large patches of black. After a night of settling, the blue flocculent edges deepened inwards, and the center was even purple and black. It was obvious that the injury was serious. Ye Shubai gently stroked his hand, his tone full of guilt: "Master, I am still late."
Hua Yichen: "It's none of your business. You came faster than my bodyguards."
Ye Shubai: "But..."
Hua Yichen interrupted directly: "No buts."
Ye Shubai lowered his head, not facing Hua Yichen face to face, and said in a small and hoarse voice: "But you are injured."
Hua Yichen sighed, not wanting Ye Shubai to dwell on it, and changed the subject: "How did you know I was there?"
The topic turned out very well. Ye Shubai was completely stunned and had no time to feel guilty.
For this reason he was not very good at speaking.
You can't say that a private detective was asked to follow Gu Qi and then discovered the young master, right? If I tell the young master this, how can I explain that a poor orphan would think of following Gu Qi?
Ye Shubai hesitated, choosing his words slowly: "It's just... you haven't been back for a long time, I want to find you."
Hua Yichen didn't think much of the answer. Ever since Ye Shubai brought him back, he'd been wanting to stick with him every day, so he was no longer surprised. His attendance at the Homecoming Banquet yesterday wasn't a secret. Just asking would reveal his general direction.
Just found him a little faster.
Seeing that he was immersed in sadness again, Hua Yichen did not ask any more questions: "Let's go, let's go eat first, and then come to the company with me."
It is necessary to find out the reason why Le'an became like that.
The atmosphere here is harmonious.
Things are not good over in Le'an, after all, it wasn't just Hua Yichen who took Chinese medicine last night.
On the way back, Ye Shubai felt more and more uncomfortable. He called someone and threw Le An into the place where Gu Qi was lying.
Le An was probably worried about his lover, so he placed Gu Qi in the next room.
Are you trying to finish the game in a hurry?
Ye Shubai couldn't care less. Anyone who plotted against Hua Yichen would have to pay the price. Although the young master could handle it himself, it made a big difference whether he contributed or not.
"Is it uncomfortable sitting here?" Hua Yichen took a soft pillow from the car and wanted to cushion Ye Shubai. After all, this was the first time in so many years, and he didn't know exactly what to do. He treated Ye Shubai like a grandparent, worried that he would be hungry or cold.
Ye Shubai had made preparations in advance, so he didn't feel any discomfort. If he had to say something, the traces of interest left behind could actually arouse his feelings and stimulate him. Even if he didn't feel uncomfortable, Hua Yichen's care should of course be accepted with pleasure. Ye Shubai followed Hua Yichen's movements and responded accordingly.
You know what, it’s much more comfortable when you put it on the mat.
After handing over the soft pillow, Hua Yichen didn't know what to do next. He didn't think he and Ye Shubai were that close. Seeing Ye Shubai sitting quietly looking at his phone, Hua Yichen stopped disturbing him and also checked his phone to see if there was any important news.
The car was running smoothly, the scenery outside the window flew by, and the two people inside the car were inexplicably living in harmony, showing some kind of telepathy.
It’s just that Hua Yichen was busy working, and Ye Shubai was busy refreshing his phone to find news.
#Surprise! The eldest son of the Gu family and the poor young master of the Le family were seen entering and leaving the hotel together, and their relationship was exposed! Good things are coming! #
"Two men?"
"These two protagonists are so good-looking!"
"I know them. They were a beautiful sight in our school when we were in college!"
"I know that. A lot of people liked them at the time, but no one expected them to be together already. When the news came out, it broke a lot of people's hearts, like broken glass that couldn't be put back together. But then, I don't know how they broke up, and Young Master Le even went abroad."
"It seems that the Le family had problems and went bankrupt, so Young Master Le had to go abroad."
"That's great, they're together again! It's true that lovers finally get married. Respect and bless them."
"Am I the only one with an extra memory? Didn't Master Gu find a replacement before? It's just that it was a while ago."
"How could I not know? You wouldn't be jealous, would you?"
"Ignore the above. Let's send some blessings to cover up these messed up comments."
“…”
Ye Shubai looked at the screen with satisfaction, filled with blessings from netizens, and thought with a look of sarcasm, "And blessings?" However, Ye Shubai's fingers gently rubbed the edge of the phone. "It's possible to lock the two troublemakers." If Le An dares to covet Hua Yichen, then he will tie him up with Gu Qi and catch them all in one fell swoop.
"You bastard!" As soon as Mr. Gu got the news, he summoned Gu Qi back. The moment he saw him, he threw a cup at him. The cup and the cup butterfly flew straight to Gu Qi's forehead like an arrow or a sharp sword.
"Grandpa, what's the matter?" Gu Qi couldn't dodge in time, and the cup brushed against his forehead, and a few drops of blood oozed out instantly. This was just one incident, and he was filled with anger and his tone was a bit aggressive.
He had already drunk a lot of wine at the homecoming banquet, and after seeing Hua Yichen, he felt dizzy. When he woke up again, the person he had been thinking about was lying next to him. The marks on her body showed what happened last night. Before he could be content with being intimate with Le An, there was a loud knock on the door. He put on some clothes and opened the door, but found no one.
Gu Qi: "Le An, are you awake?"
Le An was awake the whole time, and of course he knew what happened last night. It was a foregone conclusion, and he was afraid that his actions would be exposed: "Gu Qi, you were drugged last night. I'm afraid it's still dangerous here. Can we leave first?"
There was a hint of tears in Le An's words. Since his sweetheart said so, Gu Qi of course readily agreed.
Before he could find out what happened last night, Mr. Gu called him back with a phone call, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between him and Le An again.
"Grandpa has something urgent to talk to me about. I'll come to you after I finish my work. I will definitely take responsibility." Gu Qi saw that Le An's eyes were red and he looked pitiful. If he was not so immature, he would have ignored the call no matter whose it was.
But this is grandpa, and the power is still in his hands. It is impossible for him to be willful.
Le An nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, then I'll wait for you."
There was a flash of disgust in his eyes, and he was obviously unwilling to accept it. Gu Qi got the upper hand, and he didn't even have full power in his hands, but he actually ruined his own plans. Now, he could only hold on to this piece of trash.
"What a good thing you did?" Old Master Gu was so angry that he banged his cane, shaking the floor. He pointed at Gu Qi and cursed, "You bastard, I didn't expect you like men? It's okay to like men, but you have a pig's brain? You even took a photo and posted it online. You work at Gu's now, don't you know that the performance has been declining in recent years? You're more of a hindrance than a success. You haven't accomplished much, but you have caused me a lot of trouble."
After scolding Gu Qi for a long time, Gu Qi just listened quietly. When Old Master Gu was tired of scolding him, he made the final decision: "Break up with that kid from the Le family and find a rich girl to get engaged to."
"Grandpa, no, I like Le'an, and I don't want to be engaged to anyone else." Gu Qi didn't care about anything else, but it was absolutely impossible for him to leave Le'an. He regretted resisting once many years ago, and he didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
Of course, Mr. Gu knew about what happened between the younger generation. He had thought it was just a joke before, but he didn't expect it to come true. Mr. Gu turned to Gu Qi and gave him a meaningful look: "You like him, so why are you looking for a substitute? Since you can find a substitute, it means he is not irreplaceable."
"No. I just looked at them to remind myself of them. Nothing happened between me and them at all." Gu Qi was unwilling to face his previous mistakes. While denying them repeatedly, he even convinced himself.
Seeing that Gu Qi was unmoved, Old Master Gu snorted coldly and ordered the housekeeper, "Drag him back to his room and keep a close eye on him. Wait until he realizes his mistake and then release him."
"Yes, sir."
Several people held his body, and Gu Qi quickly begged for mercy: "No, Grandpa, Le An is still waiting for me, don't imprison me, let me go."
Seeing that Mr. Gu was indifferent and the figure shrank away, Gu Qi knew that begging for mercy was useless and immediately became angry: "Old man! You can't restrict my personal freedom like this. You are breaking the law."
The angry abuse gradually subsided.
Finally it disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
