Chapter 523 The Entertainment Circle’s Favorite (42)
Chi Hao locked her up by his side.
He didn't lock Qiao Xi up in the basement like Yu Jinnian did. He said he was keeping an eye on Qiao Xi, but in reality, it was more like living together under house arrest.
The home appliances are for Qiao Xi to use.
Everything else, except mobile phones, computers and anything else that can connect to the outside world, is not allowed to touch.
Chi Hao was extremely lenient with her.
You don’t have to worry about traveling anymore.
Yu Jinnian stopped looking for her, and in response, Chi Hao told Qiao Xi that she could tell him when she wanted to go out.
Then Chi Hao would hand her his work badge.
The people who work here.
There were few people who didn't recognize Chi Hao and Yu Jinnian. They themselves didn't really need something like a work badge to prove their identity, it was just a formality like everyone else.
so.
When Qiao Xi heard the news, she felt a little complicated.
After Chi Hao received Yu Jinnian's promise, he became even more unscrupulous. He basically took all the work back to handle it, and his subordinates were also very surprised when they saw it.
After Yu Jinnian rescinded the order to find Qiao Xi.
Chi Hao would also spend time with Qiao Xi during his free time at work. Sometimes, he could be seen in the entertainment area with a young girl.
They had seen the second-in-command with his girlfriend many times before.
This is nothing new.
But the young girl that the second-in-command is accompanying now seems to be the girl they were ordered to find before.
When Yu Jinnian gave the order.
They also gave them a photo ID of the girl they were looking for. Their first reaction when they saw the photo was surprise, and then they all discussed privately what mistake the girl had made.
I'm so lucky to be found by my boss.
There don't seem to be many.
What’s more, this girl is young, pretty, and maybe she is... the boss’s lover?
This is what most people think in their hearts.
To be able to find someone so openly and without revealing his identity, he must be the boss's...
Everyone thinks so privately.
It wasn't until they saw Chi Hao appear with the woman openly, and flirting with her as if no one was around, that the two of them looked very intimate.
It's not like an ordinary relationship.
They, the subordinates, are becoming increasingly confused about what their superiors are doing.
And Yu Jinnian.
He was naturally aware of Chi Hao's grand gesture of bringing Qiao Xi out. If he had no reaction to this, it was simply because he didn't show it on his face.
Seemingly expressionless.
But regarding these rumors.
Regarding the fact that Chi Hao took Qiao Xi around everywhere and accompanied the woman to take care of her mood.
Yu Jinnian knew it clearly.
He had also heard some of his subordinates talk about it more than once, saying that when they occasionally ran into the second-in-command with that woman on the street and greeted them, they also saw the woman's smile.
A few times occasionally.
Yu Jinnian met Chi Hao and Qiao Xi by chance, compared to the way they were locked up in the basement by him before.
Compared to...
Being treated as a matter of routine by him, perhaps Chi Hao's thoughtfulness would make Qiao Xi feel more happy?
I can't help but think of these things.
Yu Jinnian also fell silent, staring at the documents on the table. For a moment, he had no idea what to do.
Occupies the mind.
They are all messy thoughts, and the remaining tasks are small things that can be completed at any time.
Only at this time.
When his tense mood relaxed and he got away from work, he would unconsciously think of the messy things that interfered with his thoughts.
Chi Hao's working method.
Yu Jinnian would not comment too much, as long as the work could be done efficiently and with quality, and on time.
So how did he accomplish this to Chi Hao?
Or no matter what mentality you have when completing this task, I will not comment too much.
For example.
The same way he treats Qiao Xi now.
Yu Jinnian wouldn't interfere too much, but felt that his approach was a bit too indulgent. However, Qiao Xi had no access to electronic devices and no way to reconnect with the outside world.
How to do it.
That's Chi Hao's way. He shouldn't have interfered too much.
until……
Meeting Qiao Xi in a place like this.
When the two people's eyes met in mid-air, the inadvertent eye contact also made the girl on the other side, who was wearing high-waisted jeans and an apricot-colored casual hollow lace shirt, stunned.
Qiao Xi was drinking a cup of matcha flavored milk tea.
Standing quietly outside the office, as if waiting for someone to come out.
She leaned against the wall.
The girl looked a bit lazy and nonchalant, biting the straw between her rosy lips. Her clear eyes widened slightly, and she seemed a little stunned.
Obviously, he didn't expect to appear here.
What a coincidence.
The two men bumped into each other in the corridor outside.
Qiao Xi was waiting for Chi Hao. There was some work that she couldn't take back, so Chi Hao needed to handle it personally.
And recently the man has been very clingy to her.
He kept an eye on her under the pretext of keeping an eye on her, and naturally asked her to come and keep him company.
So.
Qiao Xi would occasionally come to Chi Hao's office, waiting for him to finish his work. Chi Hao would not let her into the office if there were any documents that were inconvenient for her to see.
The girl simply waited outside.
Now.
It was obviously the second situation. There were some documents that were inconvenient for Qiao Xi to see, so Qiao Xi was waiting outside.
When Yu Jinnian passed by here.
I saw Qiao Xi from a distance.
The girl leaned against the wall, drinking her cup of milk tea idly, then looked up at the leisurely blue sky and white clouds outside the corridor, as if she was distracted.
He was not discovered immediately.
When he walked over, the sound of steady footsteps was heard, and it seemed that only at this moment did Qiao Xi regain her consciousness.
The two then looked into each other's eyes.
“…” The girl was silent when she saw that it was him coming.
The next second, she silently turned her eyes away, as if she didn't see him and ignored him as if he were air.
Yu Jinnian frowned.
Anyone who saw him here knew he was the boss, and even if they were strangers, they would nod and greet him. Only someone like Qiao Xi, who had been kidnapped and was hostile to them, would be so rude.
Yu Jinnian was ignored like this.
After a brief pause, he changed direction slightly and headed towards Qiao Xi's position.
The girl probably didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.
When the serious and steady sense of oppression suddenly descended upon her, Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, and raised her eyes to look at Yu Jinnian who had stopped in front of her at some point.
The man in front of me was in a suit and tie.
On the calm face, those dark eyes were sharp and had a dangerous edge like a blade.
At this moment, he was standing in front of her and looking at her.
It should have been a normal eye contact, but because Yu Jinnian was taller than her, coupled with the sudden sense of oppression, this ordinary eye contact became a kind of contemptuous scrutiny from a superior.
But Qiao Xi only reached the man's shoulders.
Now she was completely shrouded in the shadow cast by Yu Jinnian standing in front of her.
Forced to meet that gaze.
Qiao Xi looked a little embarrassed, but even so, she still bit the bullet and tried to break the awkward atmosphere, greeting him in a low voice.
"...Hello, Mr. Yu."
She used honorifics.
Yu Jinnian was silent for a long moment as she looked at Qiao Xi, who was even more reserved than before. The man's dark, calm eyes stared at her indifferently, making it difficult to discern the emotions hidden within them.
"Um."
A response that was neither loud nor soft, so flat that it lacked any emotion.
For a while.
The girl was also a little puzzled by his current attitude. What was he going to do? Yu Jinnian suddenly stood in front of her, was it just to hear her say hello?
In that case.
Isn't this a bit too weird?
Qiao Xi was muttering to herself in confusion, and Yu Jinnian could clearly see her little thoughts and confusion from the girl's slightly furrowed brows.
only--
When Yu Jinnian's eyes accidentally fell on her lips and saw her pink and plump red lips, his mind couldn't help but recall the girl's charming scene that day.
When Qiao Xi was stunned.
The handsome and calm face of the man in front of me suddenly became larger.
The softness of her lips soon made the girl's mind explode. The unfamiliar yet familiar softness forcefully and domineeringly broke into her teeth and began to attack, disrupting all of Qiao Xi's overflowing thoughts.
“Hmm…”
The girl's bright and clear eyes widened in surprise.
She couldn't help but tighten her grip on the milk tea cup in her hand. By this time, her matcha milk tea had been finished. The empty cup felt so light in her hand that it was almost weightless.
Yu Jinnian grabbed her wrist and clasped it tightly.
The warmth of the man's palm fell on the soft skin inside her wrist.
There is a fiery heat that is hard to ignore.
Yu Jinnian grabbed her wrist and pushed her against the wall, kissing her lips.
Spread among each other.
All you can taste is a light flavor of matcha.
The girl's body seemed to tremble slightly, and the soft, sweet fragrance seemed to have an innate, pampered nobility. People with a background like hers always cultivate a noble and confident temperament.
Qiao Xi seemed to be struggling to make a sound.
Trying to get at least a little bit of the attention of that person in the office.
But when her eyes unexpectedly met Yu Jinnian's eyes, which seemed extremely calm but actually contained undercurrents that concealed sharpness and danger.
At that moment, he seemed to retreat and become timid.
Yu Jinnian didn't give her a chance to speak.
When their lips parted again, Qiao Xi seemed to have no time to make any sound before she felt her neck warm.
The man's thin lips changed target at this time.
A kiss moved down her beautiful white neck line.
The soft thin lips were mixed with the hot breath, and the warmth that came down made it impossible to ignore the ambiguity that was so close.
The girl seemed to have not yet come to her senses.
She must not be able to figure it out either.
She didn't understand why Yu Jinnian suddenly became like this, and she didn't understand why Yu Jinnian kissed her outside Chi Hao's office.
Why is this——?
It seemed like the man wasn't going to give her an answer.
As if exploring and seeking something, Yu Jinnian's kiss landed on the back of her ear, the hot breath brushing past her with a scorching, ambiguous heat. It was impossible to ignore, and the warm breath fell on her earlobe.
The girl just felt her lower back soften.
The temperature in her ears also began to rise, becoming scorching and embarrassing. She lowered her gaze as much as possible, not looking at Yu Jinnian's seemingly overly calm eyes.
I don't want to explore it.
What is the meaning of the other party's actions?
The girl bit her lip slightly.
Perhaps she didn't want to face such a scene, and when she tensed her body and trembled, Yu Jinnian lowered his eyes and saw Qiao Xi's tightly closed eyes.
He stopped.
He did not kiss Qiao Xi's neck again, but slightly restrained the sharpness in his eyes and slowly moved his gaze to Qiao Xi's face.
After a brief pause.
That voice, as mellow and deep as wine, carried Yu Jinnian's usual serious and steady attitude: "Don't you like it?"
Until this moment.
When the girl heard his voice, she finally couldn't help but open her eyes.
"Does Mr. Yu have any misunderstandings about liking someone?"
She tried her best to sound tactful, and deliberately lowered her voice as if to avoid being discovered by the person in the office.
But anyone can hear it.
Behind Qiao Xi's attempt to be kind, there was suppressed anger in his words.
Yu Jinnian faced her.
In addition, Qiao Xi's emotions were so obvious that it was impossible to miss them.
The man remained silent for a moment.
When he kissed Qiao Xi just now, there was no warning. His mind was blank and he didn't know what he was doing.
but.
He wanted to do this to Qiao Xi.
It was a very strange thought, because when I saw her, I remembered what the two of us were like before.
Plus.
Chi Hao came over specifically and used a reasonable explanation that Yu Jinnian could accept to take Qiao Xi away and take over her care. With less workload, Yu Jinnian should have felt more relaxed.
But it didn't.
When I turned on the surveillance camera and saw the empty room.
He realized belatedly that Qiao Xi would never appear here again. After finishing his work and having some free time, he suddenly felt like he had lost something and felt a little bored.
At the end of work.
I habitually turned on the camera and observed the girl's daily life and her every word and action in the surveillance video.
It seemed to have become a little fun in Yu Jinnian's boring leisure life.
I can't see anything now.
At first, because he knew she was no longer there, Yu Jinnian would deliberately ignore the surveillance camera. But after a while, he was inexplicably compelled to turn it on.
Look back at the records.
Nothing.
He should have known this long ago and was mentally prepared. But when he saw the empty room, without even a hint of life, he once again realized that Chi Hao had taken her away.
I didn't care at first.
After all, the reason given by Chi Hao was very reasonable. Although he felt a little strange, it was not unacceptable.
Yu Jinnian showed his own strangeness.
This is due to the anxiety caused by the fact that Ce has not yet responded.
But it was in the tea room.
When I occasionally heard some subordinates' discussions or envious voices, that subtle feeling of strangeness became more and more obvious.
Until I met Qiao Xi.
Become more intense.
Yu Jinnian finally figured out what kind of feeling this was. Qiao Xi was taken away, and everything that originally belonged to him was taken away.
so--
That's why he feels uncomfortable.
That's why when he heard others discussing Qiao Xi and Chi Hao, and how good Chi Hao was to Qiao Xi, he felt a subtle sense of strangeness, coupled with the jealousy and comparison that some men harbor, and began to feel conflicted.
Yu Jinnian deliberately ignored Qiao Xi's affairs.
But he would secretly pay attention to everything that happened around her.
About her and Chi Hao.
Basically, I've heard most of it.
In the end, he found that he did not mind doing this with Qiao Xi, and the method used by Chi Hao also made Yu Jinnian vaguely realize that there was another way to go.
That is...
Keep her by your side and take care of her.
If he were to monitor personally, he would not only know what Qiao Xi was doing at any time, but also because Qiao Xi was right next to him.
Even if you want to play some tricks.
It's all in vain.
It also saves you the trouble of checking surveillance cameras and looking for people when they are missing.
What he has to do.
Just like Chi Hao, just keep the person by your side.
so.
When Yu Jinnian obeyed his own heart and pushed Qiao Xi against the wall and kissed her again, the girl's eyes widened in surprise.
She also seemed to be in a panic.
I couldn't hold it firmly for a moment.
The empty milk tea cup fell to the ground with a slight thud. Yu Jinnian kissed the girl, struggling but unable to escape, a chorus of anger and resentment emanated from her lips and teeth.
And these movements.
Finally, Chi Hao, who was busy in the office, noticed it.
"What's wrong, Xixi—are you feeling bored?"
A man's lazy voice came from the closed office door, followed by the sound of files being shuffled and sorted.
Chi Hao is almost done.
He had said before he came in that Qiao Xi would need to wait for him for about forty minutes. Now looking at the time, it was almost time.
The tasks at hand are basically done.
The remaining finishing work can be simply packaged and sent to Yu Jinnian, which is not a big deal.
You can complete it when you get home using your computer or mobile phone.
It’s better not to let Qiao Xi wait too long.
Chi Hao hurriedly sorted out the documents and locked them back in his drawer. Normally, at this time, when he said this, the girls would basically respond.
Or complain that he is too slow.
Or he said that he made her wait outside for so long and wasted her time.
Something like that.
However, today, Qiao Xi was unexpectedly quiet. Not only that, she didn't even respond.
Inexplicable.
Chi Hao smelled something unusual, and a sense of foreboding suddenly intensified in his heart. His eyes turned cold, and after locking the documents, he quickly walked out and opened the office door.
“——!”
A moment.
The scene in front of him seemed to be magnified in an instant, and Chi Hao's pupils suddenly contracted in the next second.
Qiao Xi is there.
She was indeed waiting for him.
But... unlike what she had imagined, there was a tall man who pulled her against the opposite wall, lowered his eyes and kissed the girl.
And Qiao Xi's silk shirt.
She had already struggled, and a few buttons had been torn off. A hint of beauty and a hint of fullness were exposed to the view, which was like a supreme delicacy for men.
The hazy and vague appearance adds to the beauty of spring and is also mouth-watering.
However.
Chi Hao didn't have the leisure to appreciate the scene before him at the moment. He almost burst into tears at that moment.
Yu Jinnian merely noticed the sound of the door opening behind him.
Just left Qiao Xi's lips.
Chi Hao, who came out of the office, couldn't suppress his furious temper at all. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Yu Jinnian's collar and punched him hard.
It all happened in a flash.
A moment.
Even with Yu Jinnian's quick reflexes, he couldn't react quickly enough to dodge. He took the punch firmly, and the excitement that had just ignited in the man's dark eyes was completely extinguished by Chi Hao's punch.
“Bang!”
The sound of the fists hitting each other became particularly harsh.
After this punch, Chi Hao's mind calmed down a lot. However, the anger that surged in him at that moment still did not subside much.
A sideways glance.
The girl standing there looked stunned, as if she had no idea what was going on.
She stood there at a loss.
The slightly swollen lips caught Chi Hao's eyes, making the man even more irritated.
"You won't resist, will you?"
Chi Hao suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. When his eyes fell on the girl's shirt with several buttons missing, his eyes darkened.
He buttoned up Qiao Xi's clothes roughly.
The girl was frightened by his sudden action, her body stiffening as she stood there with her head lowered. Tears quickly filled her clear, beautiful eyes, but she remained silent.
Seeing her like this.
The irritability lingering in Chi Hao's heart also dissipated a little. He also knew that this matter could not be blamed entirely on Qiao Xi. If she really had not resisted.
No buttons will be ripped off.
"Are you interested in her?" Yu Jinnian on the other side had regained his composure, pressing his fingertips to the corners of his mouth and wiping them casually.
Just wipe away the blood from the punch.
"Yes, so what?"
Chi Hao suppressed some of the emotions in his eyes.
He never loosened his clenched fists. He didn't expect Yu Jinnian to touch Qiao Xi again.
It completely disrupted his thoughts.
And it was far beyond his own expectations. Qiao Xi was touched by someone else, Yu Jinnian.
This matter.
Far angrier than he had imagined.
He punched Yu Jinnian.
Although I have fought many times before, none of them were for women.
They all knew that women could ruin relationships.
So basically they all play with their own people, and they won't hurt each other's brotherly feelings just because they like the same woman.
But now…
Things are getting a little different.
Yu Jinnian's cold, snake-like gaze fixed on Chi Hao, who was hugging Qiao Xi. He sensed the rage that had erupted from his brother just then.
Yu Jinnian also noticed it.
Chi Hao's treatment of Qiao Xi seemed different from the ones he had played with before.
And this kind of thing.
It will absolutely not be allowed to happen.
Qiao Xi's identity is special. She is Ce's woman. As a bargaining chip, she will be traded away sooner or later. It is impossible for her to stay with them forever.
It's okay to play with.
If you take it seriously...that's another story.
The betrayal of his brother caused by that punch seemed less important after Yu Jinnian realized that Chi Hao seemed to be interested in Qiao Xi.
Yu Jinnian looked away.
His obscure gaze fell on the stiff Qiao Xi. The girl seemed to have noticed his gaze and leaned into Chi Hao's arms subconsciously, as if to snuggle up to him.
Hiding from him.
Yu Jinnian's eyes sank slightly, and he retracted the vague emotions that flashed through his mind and turned his gaze to Chi Hao over there.
"She's going to kill you. Get rid of her."
Yu Jinnian's voice paused, and he added slowly.
"If you can't do it, I don't mind doing it for you."
