Chapter 52 Chasing Men
Qi Xing was still feeling dizzy when he was going down the mountain. He made small talk: "If you had said earlier that you were coming to see the sunrise, I wouldn't have come. I'd rather go home and sleep. Stop lavishing your boring romance on me. Who cares..."
Ye Xingzhou tilted his head to look over, and their eyes met. Qi Xing's voice gradually became quieter, and he was too embarrassed to continue.
Well, it’s not that uncommon. Although he really wanted to sleep more, the touch he felt when Ye Xingzhou asked him to look out the window just now still made him tremble in his heart.
Ye Xingzhou hummed softly, his eyes returned to the front, and he continued to concentrate on driving.
Qi Xing picked up his phone to divert his attention and sent a message to his mother, saying that he had gone out early in the morning. In such a short sentence, he made several typos because of his distraction. His mind was full of Ye Xingzhou and he couldn't think of anything else.
When he put down the phone, he pressed his chest and lamented, "Stop beating, or he'll really have to go to the hospital if it continues beating so fast."
It was not until this moment that he clearly realized that he did have different feelings for Ye Xingzhou beyond just a sex buddy, so he would get jealous and angry when he was involved with others, couldn't help missing him when he couldn't see him, and couldn't wait to be intimate with him after meeting him, and even felt sorry for him when he talked about the past.
Qi Xing thought in panic, have I fallen in love with this bastard? He actually fell in love with Ye Xingzhou?
The emotion of liking someone was almost unfamiliar to him. He had liked many people, and all of them were attracted by their looks. He said he was pursuing someone but it was just for fun. He had never really cared about anyone. He had never had this feeling of worrying about someone and tossing and turning in bed before, and once it arose, he would even be at a loss as to what to do.
...Why did he fall in love with Ye Xingzhou?
Qi Xing thought in annoyance, could it be that love really grows over time? Although he was the one being fucked.
His father described Ye Xingzhou as gloomy, moody, arrogant, and ruthless, and he might set a trap for someone to fall into at any time, but he fell in love with this kind of Ye Xingzhou.
Qi Xing opened the car window to let the cold air in, trying to wake himself up.
But it was no use, Ye Xingzhou was sitting next to him, they had just made love an hour ago, the man's breath and temperature were always around him.
The more I try to ignore it, the more it lingers and my heartbeats get louder and louder.
Qi Xing closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat, feeling extremely sad. He was finished.
It must be that bastard Ye Xingzhou who cast a spell on him.
The car drove back to the city and stopped in front of a teahouse. Qi Xing followed Ye Xingzhou out of the car in a daze as if sleepwalking, and went in to have morning tea.
"what's on your mind?"
When Ye Xingzhou's voice rang out, Qi Xing was startled and finally came back to his senses, subconsciously looking over there.
Ye Xingzhou calmly picked up the teapot and poured him tea, then put a shrimp dumpling into his bowl.
Qi Xing stared at his face. This man was still refreshed after not sleeping all night. Except for his messy hair that added a bit of wildness, he did not look decadent or tired at all. When his eyes fell on him inadvertently, his little heart began to flutter.
...Why don't he go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram later.
"Still in a daze?" Ye Xingzhou put down the teapot and raised his eyebrows.
Qi Xing came back to his senses, lowered his head and drank a sip of tea to suppress his overly agitated emotions.
This wouldn't work, she was too weak, how could he make her act like an underage girl just beginning to fall in love? No, absolutely not.
I quickly calmed down and finished my cup of tea.
Just refuse to admit it. How could this bastard Ye Xingzhou have the upper hand from the beginning to the end?
If he was just wishful thinking, he would never say a word even if he died. If Ye Xingzhou really had a crush on him, then this bastard had to speak first.
Having made up his mind, Qi Xing hooked Ye Xingzhou's calf under the table with his toes and asked him in a calm and smiling voice: "Ye Xingzhou, I thought you were a piece of wood, but it turns out you are quite good at coaxing people?"
Ye Xingzhou continued to pour him tea and glanced at him: "Did I make you happy?"
Qi Xing raised his chin proudly: "It's just so-so, there's still room for improvement, keep up the good work."
"Qi Xing," Ye Xingzhou called his name, paused, and then said, "You're blushing."
Qi Xing: “…”
He turned on the selfie mode on his phone and took a look. There was nothing wrong at all. Ye Xingzhou, that bastard, was playing a trick on him again.
There was a fleeting smile in Ye Xingzhou's eyes, and he continued to pick up snacks for him: "Don't look at it, the camera can't capture it, eat your food."
Qi Xing put down his phone, and his feet under the table seduced him for less than two seconds, then his true nature was revealed and he kicked him.
Just as he was about to curse at this bastard, Ye Xingzhou's cell phone rang.
The person who called was his old classmate in Beijing, who told him that Lin Hongfei had gone to Beijing a few days ago and met with Wang Pengfa from Shengfa. They had probably reached some kind of agreement, and Lin Hongfei had pledged all the assets under his company to Shengfa.
"I think there's nothing good about them joining forces. Lin Hongfei was able to persuade those people in his company to agree to his deal with Wang Pengfa. Maybe Wang Pengfa promised him some benefits. Wang Pengfa is still continuing to buy up your Ye's shares, right? You decide for yourself."
Ye Xingzhou frowned slightly, thanked his old classmate and hung up the phone.
Ye Xingzhou was on speakerphone, and Qi Xing listened casually. He asked curiously, "My dad rejected Wang Pengfa before, but now he's involved with the Lins? Isn't Second Uncle Lin in trouble? How can he have extra money to hook up with Wang Pengfa?"
Ye Xingzhou said coldly: "So he pledged all his assets to Shengfa."
Qi Xing's eyes rolled and he understood. The fact that Ye's wanted to acquire Boshun had long been known in the Huaicheng business circle. Even Ye Xingzhou had persuaded several shareholders and directors of Boshun. As long as they joined forces to put pressure on Lin Hongfei, Lin Hongfei would have to sell even if he didn't want to. But now there was a sudden turn of events. This man had actually gotten involved with Wang Pengfa and would rather mortgage all the company's assets to Wang Pengfa than let Ye Xingzhou get away with it.
"Wang Pengfa certainly can't afford the price you can afford, but the other shareholders of Boshun all agree to it, which means Wang Pengfa has promised them other benefits? Could it be that Wang Pengfa really thinks he can take over your Ye Group, and after he succeeds, he can give Boshun a share of the profits?"
Qi Xing was gloating a little as he spoke: "Godfather, you also have your misfortunes, right? You wanted to take over someone else's company, but they not only refused, but now they want to take over your company, right? But where did Wang Pengfa get the confidence that he could succeed? Have you found out where the money for the acquisition of your Ye's shares came from?"
"Well," Ye Xingzhou didn't take his ridicule seriously, and explained while drinking tea slowly, "half a year ago, he quietly invested in a film and television investment company. The headquarters of this film and television company is overseas. It continuously transfers money from overseas to China through a cross-border capital pool. He then withdraws the money as a shareholder, and then operates the financial management company under his own group. The amount of funds after magnification is enough for him to buy Ye's shares in the secondary market."
Qi Xing was surprised: "Money from overseas?"
Ye Xingzhou nodded: "Wang Pengfa is just the one in the open, the one behind the scenes is Ye Wanyao."
Qi Xing suddenly realized that after all this time, it was still the internal strife of the Ye family: "Ye Lao Er is so rich, how can he have so much cash? He was exiled by you, but he still wants to stir up trouble?"
"His grandfather left him a lot of overseas assets. If he sells them, he will get a lot of money. Maybe there are other sources of funds. There is always a way to get the money. As long as Wang Pengfa holds more than four points of shares, Ye Wanyao and his people will have a combined shareholding ratio that exceeds mine. He can come back to the head office and drive me away. So he uses such a roundabout way to conceal the truth.
If I hadn't noticed Wang Pengfa's little move at the beginning, as long as he bought no more than five points of Ye's stock, he wouldn't even need to raise a placard, and Ye Wanyao could come back and kill me by surprise. Even if I had discovered it, as long as I didn't know that the person behind Wang Pengfa was Ye Wanyao, I wouldn't have thought that his purchase of these few stocks would have any big effect, and they could still catch me by surprise.
Ye Wanyao must have promised Wang Pengfa enough benefits. Wang Pengfa is a gambler. Although he is bold, he is not crazy. He knows that if he loses this gamble, he will have to pay back the huge interest he owes in the process of increasing the amount of funds. So he is trying to find someone to cover the loss, including Ronghua Capital. If he had not revealed his true colors, they might have succeeded.
I also didn't expect that the person he dragged into this was actually Lin Hongfei, but now that it has come to this, it would be the same for everyone. ”
Ye Xingzhou's tone was contemptuous, and it was obvious that he was planning to take advantage of the situation and catch all these people in one fell swoop.
Qi Xing slowly swallowed the shrimp dumplings in his mouth, feeling fortunate that his father did not get involved, otherwise, this catch-all would definitely include their Ronghua Capital.
It would be strange for Ye Xingzhou, a cruel tyrant, to show leniency to them.
"What if my dad really gets involved?" he asked with a fake smile.
Ye Xingzhou: "I reminded you before, tell your father not to get involved."
Qi Xing: "What I say doesn't count. Who knows if the old man has a moment of confusion?"
Ye Xingzhou looked at him in silence for two seconds and said, "He won't be implicated."
After saying this, Qi Xing still had that unchanged smile on his face, but he seemed very satisfied. To some extent, he was indeed easy to coax.
Qi Xingyi was so happy that he also picked up a piece of dessert for Ye Xingzhou and said sweetly, "This is for your godfather."
Ye Xingzhou smiled: "Thank you."
Qi Xing's heart started beating fast again because of his laughter. He quickly lowered his head and pretended to play with his phone.
He had a lot of love in his heart but nowhere to express it. Finally, he absentmindedly sent a WeChat message to Yang Kaiming, asking: "If I want to pursue a man, how can I ensure that I can get him?"
After sending it, he felt that it was pointless to ask Yang Kaiming, but he was too lazy to withdraw it.
Yang Kaiming actually got up quite early today, and replied in a few minutes: "Mr. Qi, which wild man have you fallen for again? You don't want your godfather anymore???"
Qi Xing: "It's him."
Yang Kaiming: “…”
Qi Xing: "Do you have any objections? Help me think about how I can pursue my godfather so that he will fall in love with me wholeheartedly."
When he posted this, he suddenly thought of the first time Ye Xingzhou teased him and mocked him by saying "You act like you've been flirted with when someone touches you. You're like this and you want to chase men like others." He was dismissive at the time, but now he has slapped himself in the face.
Things have changed. Now he not only plans to pursue another man, but also Ye Xingzhou himself.
Yang Kaiming responded with a very speechless expression.
"Qi Shao, are you kidding me?"
Qi Xing: "Of course I am serious."
Yang Kaiming: "You have so much experience in chasing men, why are you asking me, a 24k pure straight man?"
Qi Xing: "Those were different before."
No matter how much experience he has in pursuing men, it is no different from what he wants to pursue Ye Xingzhou now. None of those men can compare to his godfather.
Yang Kaiming: "Okay, I get it. Your godfather is a different kind of person. Don't worry about it. Just tell your godfather that you love him. He will definitely love you to death. Believe me."
Qi Xing: "No, I can pursue him, but he must say he loves me first."
Yang Kaiming stopped replying, obviously thinking that Qi Xing was just teasing him, or was just showing off his affection to him out of boredom early in the morning.
Qi Xing poked the screen of his mobile phone twice angrily and continued to search through the WeChat list. When he saw a name, he paused and sent a message.
"Brother Ning, do you know how to chase a man?"
Half a minute later, Ning Zhiyuan replied: "Little friend, I told you before, I am straight. If you want to ask for advice on the relationship between men, you have come to the wrong person."
Qi Xing: "I don't believe it. Your brother-in-law named his new company after your couple's name, leaving me and my godfather out of the picture. Who is he trying to fool?"
Ning Zhiyuan: "...I'm scared of you. Which man are you going to chase? Your godfather? Have you guys not broken through that layer of paper yet?"
This guy is obviously much smarter than that fool Yang Kaiming. Qi Xing thought there was a chance and continued to reply: "Of course it's him, who else could it be?"
Ning Zhiyuan: "Not sure if he likes you?"
Qi Xing: "I think he likes me very much, but he won't admit it."
Ning Zhiyuan: "That's easy. You have to be proactive but not proactive. Don't be too eager or too cold. Give him some sweet treats but keep him on suspense. Be close but not too distant. Play hard to get. Use retreat to advance and attack his heart. It's best to find a rival with style to stimulate him. I guarantee he will be easily captured."
Qi Xing's face fell, it was so complicated.
"Who are you messaging? Eat something quickly." Ye Xingzhou reminded.
Qi Xing finally replied to Ning Zhiyuan, telling him not to tell his brother about the questions he had asked. He put away his phone and forced a smile at Ye Xingzhou: "It's okay."
Ye Xingzhou half-closed his eyes and stared at him.
Qi Xing lowered his head, feeling a little guilty.
After finishing his morning tea and getting back into the car, Qi Xing thought of what Ning Zhiyuan had just said, and when Ye Xingzhou started the car, he said, "Please take me home."
Ye Xingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Go home?"
Qi Xing: "My family has relatives visiting, and my mother asked me to go back for dinner."
He didn't lie. His mother had just sent a message saying that there were guests at home, but they were not someone he had to meet. He didn't want to go back, but now he changed his mind.
This bastard Ye Xingzhou is so confident and at ease, he really can't be too hasty.
"Hurry up. If you go back late, my dad will scold me again. It's so annoying." Qi Xing urged.
Ye Xingzhou's eyes clearly showed disbelief, but since Qi Xing insisted on going back, he said nothing and started the car.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped opposite Qi Xing's residential area. When Qi Xing pushed the door and got out of the car, he suddenly turned sideways and gave Ye Xingzhou a quick kiss on the face.
Without waiting for Ye Xingzhou to react, he said "Bye, see you later when you're free", got out of the car, and ran across the road.
After entering the gate of the community, he stopped, bent down, supported his knees and took a breath.
It was better for him to come back. If he continued to stay with Ye Xingzhou, he would surely die of tachycardia.
Qi Xing squatted down on the spot, destroying a newly blossomed wild flower on the ground. He was in a daze for a moment, and a message from Ye Xingzhou came in on the phone in his hand: "Have a good rest, see you next time."
That slight feeling of depression was instantly swept away.
He buried his head between his knees, breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed silently.
