After finishing her meeting, Shi Xi went downstairs to the mall to pick out a gift for Xiao Wanjun as a return gift, but saw a familiar figure standing in front of a black Maserati.
"What does He Xiangdi want with him?"
Shi Xi checked the scene in her mind against 999 and found that this scene did not exist.
That shouldn't be important.
He looked at He Xiangdi walking towards him without saying a word, only raising his eyebrows slightly.
He Xiangdi's gaze swept over his entire body, finally settling on the beauty mark under Shi Xi's eye.
I want to lick the teardrop that traced the beauty mark under his eye...
Behind the narrow-rimmed silver mirror, his long, narrow phoenix eyes were unfathomable. Looking at Shi Xi, who looked puzzled, he asked a question.
"Do you have time? Let's talk."
"Let's go when we have time," Shi Xi said.
Shi Xi followed He Xiangdi into the car, and the two sat in the back seat while Assistant Li drove.
The car was parked in front of a members-only bar that offered a high degree of privacy.
There weren't many people inside because it wasn't the weekend.
The bartender approached: "What would you two like to drink?"
He Xiangdi: "Long Island Iced Tea."
Shi Xi thought that she would be going to the mall to pick out a gift for Xiao Wanjun later, so she ordered a mojito with a low alcohol content.
He Xiangdi turned his head slightly to look at Shi Xi and asked, "How are things going between you and Xiao Wanjun lately?"
Hehe, don't you understand?
They've come here to scout out enemy positions.
"It's good." Shi Xi smiled, her expression gentle yet firm, a hint of happiness in her eyes: "Actually, before I met Wan Jun, I didn't think I liked men."
"I confessed my feelings to him with a nervous heart, and I never expected him to say yes. Looking back now, I feel incredibly lucky."
"By the way, I like men. I hope that won't cause you any trouble?"
Shi Xi thought, "Let's take advantage of our current status to flaunt our love and let He Xiangdi secretly suffer from jealousy."
Who told him to steal his own man?
He Xiangdi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he tightened his grip on the wine glass, his fingertips turning slightly white.
Taking a small sip of wine, He Xiangdi said, "It didn't cause any trouble."
He looked at Shi Xi, "I also like men; I only recently discovered that."
Alright, alright, as expected of the villain, going all out at point-blank range, huh?
I came out of the closet, and you came out of the closet right after me.
She even said she liked my boyfriend right in front of me! Don't I have any dignity?!
"Really?" While inwardly thinking this, Shi Xi wore a surprised yet relieved expression, then teased, "Who could possibly catch your eye?"
He Xiangdi looked at Shi Xi, who was handsome and gentle, with curiosity filling his brown eyes. He tilted his head slightly and looked at him without any guard.
She wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but she unexpectedly suited his taste.
He Xiangdi took a sip of wine, concealing the violent bobbing of his Adam's apple. His eyes lowered slightly, and his voice was tinged with bitterness: "I found out too late; he already has a boyfriend."
"And she and her boyfriend have a very good relationship."
Oh dear, what a poor little thing.
It looks exactly like a pitiful big dog that has been abandoned by its owner.
Shi Xi thought that if he had ears, he would definitely be hanging his head dejectedly.
Look at this acting! Why be a CEO? He should be pursuing his dream in the entertainment industry.
In Shi Xi's mind, He Xiangdi was a stubborn and unruly child who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.
They don't know how to respect other people's wishes, nor do they know what it means to let go.
What's frightening is that he had this right, and he used it to the extreme.
999 […] Why is Shi Xi so keen on treating the characters in the story as his son?
Shi Xi looked at He Xiangdi with sympathy, patted his shoulder, and comforted him, "In that case, why don't you try letting go..."
"No!" He Xiangdi's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, startling Shi Xi.
Before he could react, He Xiangdi gulped down his drink, his gaze fixed intently on Shi Xi, his tone resolute and chilling: "I only want him, and I will never let go."
Shi Xi frowned slightly, wanting to offer some advice but unsure of what to say.
After all, matters of the heart cannot be explained in just a few words.
Not everyone is as lucky as him, that the person they like happens to like them back.
Before he could even come up with something that seemed like comforting words but was actually a display of affection, He Xiangdi leaned forward and looked like he was about to fall to the ground.
Shi Xi: "???" You're already drunk?
No, how many dishes did you have to get this drunk?
With this level of alcohol tolerance, you're a CEO?
I think you're a complete noob.
Startled for a moment, Shi Xi hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but was almost knocked over.
Tsk, He Xiangdi looks so thin, how come he's so heavy?
Shi Xi gently patted his flushed cheeks, "He Xiangdi, wake up..."
The other person didn't react at all, their warm breath, carrying the smell of alcohol, sprayed all over his ear, and suddenly he heard a man's low murmur.
"Don't like him, like me instead, okay...?"
Shi Xi was stunned. After regaining her senses, a look of sudden realization flashed in her eyes.
[Damn, that cold medicine... I see through his sinister intentions!]
What sinister intentions do they have? 999 questions.
[He's declaring war on me, and taking the opportunity to torment me in various ways.] Shi Xi concluded.
999【Σ(?w??)? Oh, so that's how it is? Shi Xi, you're amazing, I didn't even realize it】
[Cold Remedy, it's normal that you're a system and don't understand human thoughts. Go play somewhere else, I'll call you if I need you.]
【o(n_n)o Okay, I'm going to go play with 888 and 666 now, bye-bye】
After paying the bill by card, Shi Xi put one arm around He Xiangdi's shoulder and the other around his waist, then went to the door to call Assistant Li to take him back.
He had only taken a couple of steps when he heard Lin Zheran's voice, "Brother Jiang... what's this?"
Shi Xi looked up and winked at him, "Come and lend a hand, he's drunk."
Lin Zeran looked at He Xiangdi, who was nestled in Shi Xi's neck, and said, "Oh, okay, I'll do it."
As he spoke, he took He Xiangdi from Shi Xi's hands.
Shi Xi watched as Lin Zeran easily helped He Xiangdi up—
Why is even a cannon fodder male lead stronger than him, the devoted male supporting character?
Neither of them noticed that the slight upturn at the corners of He Xiangdi's mouth vanished instantly.
As the three reached the door, Assistant Li was surprised to see He Xiangdi being helped out.
Mr. He has always had a high alcohol tolerance; he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. How come he's drunk like this today?
Could it be... that he/she has broken up with his/her boyfriend/girlfriend?
Assistant Li shook his head.
President He doesn't even have a girlfriend, so what kind of relationship is he going through?
After taking the money from his boss, Assistant Li looked at Shi Xi and asked, "Mr. Jiang, are you going back with President He?"
He Xiangdi and Jiang Feng live in the same villa area, which is why Assistant Li asked that question.
Shi Xi waved her hand, refusing, "No, I have something to do. You take him home."
