Chapter 66: Taking advantage of others in the past life
If Qi Yan thought at first that Shen Xiliu was just angry or shy, then when he noticed the changes in Shen Xiliu, he realized that something was wrong.
Chen Xiliu... Could it be that he had forgotten everything that happened after getting drunk?
Many people suffer from memory loss due to drunkenness, but Chen Xiliu seemed to be quite rational that night, just more impulsive than usual, with no signs of drunkenness at all.
If he really forgot, then he should probably confess again now?
Qi Yan came back to his senses and sighed heavily: "Then give me a chance."
Shen Xiliu obviously didn't want to see him, so he hardly ran into him face to face in the past two days. They were obviously living under the same roof, but if Chen Xiliu didn't want to see him, there were ways to do it.
After finally bumping into him once or twice, he would leave as if no one was around. He was no longer like before, giving him a look or two, nor was he like before, sitting in his favorite seat and reading a book...
They didn't even give me a chance to communicate. This is really a big trouble.
The freshly made light blue wine glass sparkles under the light, and the light illuminates its pure, impurity-free, flawless translucence. The petals are as light and delicate as gauze, flowing with ripples like water, with a hazy and dreamy beauty.
"Although it's your first time, your skills are very good and your fingers are very flexible!" The friend was amazed. Although he knew that Qi Yan had powerful fingers, he didn't expect that he could do it so well for the first time.
Qi Yan worked very hard and the result was indeed good. Hearing this, he said, "After all, I make a living by my craft. Mixing drinks sometimes tests the flexibility and coordination of my fingers."
A friend noticed that he was not in a good mood and asked him if he had a conflict with his lover. Most of the people who come here to make gifts are very close to others. Judging from Qi Yan's expression, the wine glasses he made should be intended to be given to his lover, right?
Qi Yan shook his head and denied the title of lover. He said that although he liked someone, he didn't know what the other person thought of him. After all, things that happened after drinking should not be taken seriously. He must find an opportunity to communicate with Shen Xiliu again.
If the other party doesn't have that kind of idea, he really needs to... pay attention to his distance.
If he had known, he would not have said it that night, but Shen Xiliu stared at him and asked him, with that expression, Qi Yan really couldn't refuse and continued to remain silent...
"Then he should like you. If not, he would definitely not allow you to get close to him." The friend just listened to him euphemistically talk about their daily interactions and the other person's general personality.
"You also said that he has a rather cold personality. He doesn't like to talk to irrelevant people and hates being contacted by others. But he didn't ignore you. His attitude towards you has also changed a lot since when you first met. He can accept your contact with him and help him tie his tie..."
After a careful analysis, his friend patted him on the shoulder and said encouragingly, "He must like you!"
"Anyway, we omegas won't allow alphas to touch us casually," my friend said with a smile, "Be more confident. It's a rare opportunity to have such a handsome face, it would be a shame to use it to be depressed. Instead of getting entangled, you might as well find a chance to make it clear. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it."
Qi Yan thought the same and planned to create an opportunity to talk with Shen Xiliu to find out what both parties were thinking.
So when Shen Xiliu came back that night, Qi Yan called him back and used a very serious conversational tone to keep him, wanting to ask him some questions about the contract, which was how he managed to keep Shen Xiliu.
"Tell me, what do you want to ask?" Shen Xiliu controlled his emotions very well, and his emotions did not show on his face.
Probably because he had just finished work, he was still wearing a black suit. He sat on a high chair in a casual posture, with a calm and completely in control look, without the natural and relaxed look he had in the past. He stared at Qi Yan as if he was examining him, without any emotion.
It really feels different from what was revealed before.
Qi Yan fiddled with the cocktail shaker nimbly between his fingers. While skillfully mixing the drinks, he casually said to Shen Xiliu, "Mr. Shen, according to the contract, if there are no unexpected events, this transaction will be completely concluded at the beginning of next month, right?"
Shen Xiliu said calmly: "Normally this is the case, but the most important stipulation in the contract is: everything is based on my physical condition. If the target has been reached, then it is OK to end it early."
End early?
Qi Yan's heart moved slightly, observing Shen Xiliu's expression, and found that he was not joking. He originally planned to ask directly, but for a moment he was a little speechless, so he could only ask a few more questions related to the contract to try to delay time.
Shen Xiliu answered two or three questions and then became impatient: “If it’s just a question about this, you can look through the contract yourself, there’s no need to ask me specifically.”
It is indeed easy to become irritated when facing Qi Yan.
After Shen Xiliu finished speaking, he wanted to get up and leave. Qi Yan stopped him and said, "Mr. Shen, don't be so anxious to leave. You have been avoiding me these days. Is it because of what happened on the night of Qixi Festival?"
"Qixi?" Shen Xiliu remembered that Shen Qingze said that his physical condition recovered very well that day. Judging from Qi Yan's tone, could it be that something else happened between them that night?
"Well, looking at Mr. Shen's expression, it's likely that he didn't remember anything, right? What a pity." Qi Yan looked at Shen Xiliu's expression, slapped his forehead regretfully, sighed softly, but quickly recovered.
He pushed the prepared drink over, with a gentle smile on his face, and said in a very serious tone: "Do you mind chatting for a while? Something very important happened that night, and I think I should tell you again."
The light from the ceiling falls on the clear blue glass wine glass, emitting a hazy and dreamy color halo. The wine and crushed ice in the glass are blended together, with fresh mint leaves mixed in. It looks very refreshing and can almost be regarded as a work of art.
But when Shen Xiliu's eyes fell on the edge of the wine glass and the orchid-shaped glass on the stem, his eyes were quickly covered with a layer of cold frost.
Watching Shen Xiliu reach out to take the wine glass, he lowered his eyes to look at him. Qi Yan was a little nervous inside, but he didn't show it. He continued with a smile and said, "Mr. Shen, don't worry. I know you can't drink much. This drink is alcohol-free and you won't get drunk. That night, I said I would mix you a drink. If you get drunk again, it will be troublesome."
"Let me first say that you had already agreed at that time, and I also told you..."
Qi Yan was just thinking about taking the opportunity to say everything he wanted to say, but just when he was about to get to the point, Shen Xiliu in front of him raised his eyes with a sharp look and a cold and oppressive feeling. He picked up the wine glass and without warning poured all the wine and crushed ice into Qi Yan's face.
“Wow!”
A biting chill hit his face, the broken ice hit his cheeks and eyes, making them feel cold and stinging, the sticky wine flowed down his cheeks, Qi Yan was completely stunned, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth stopped abruptly.
Before anyone could react, they heard Shen Xiliu say, “I remember that Article 3 on page 3 of the contract stipulates that Party B shall strictly abide by the confidentiality obligation and shall not obtain Party A’s pheromone-related information through direct or indirect means.”
Shen Xiliu's tone was cold, with a hint of disgust and sarcasm that could not be ignored.
"Qi Yan, who told you to take advantage of someone's misfortune?"
He was a little angry and threw the wine glass to the ground, making a crisp sound of breaking.
Qi Yan was stunned, and then he quickly said: "Mr. Shen, I am not..."
"Shut up."
Shen Xiliu's eyes were merciless, the contempt and anger in his eyes were quickly covered by coldness, he looked at him sharply, and reminded him coldly: "Don't take yourself seriously, if the contract hadn't progressed to this point, you would have to pay the price for what you do now."
Not what? The fact is that Qi Yan took advantage of him being drunk and unconscious to do various things that violated the contract.
However, the cost of violating the contract is something Qi Yan cannot afford.
"I won't say the same thing twice." Shen Xiliu was a little annoyed and stood up. "You don't have to stay here every day in the future. If necessary, I will notify you."
He didn't want to stay under the same roof with Qi Yan, so he walked towards the door, wanting to leave this place.
Shen Xiliu was not interested in what happened that night, but he did not expect Qi Yan to dare to ask about pheromones while he was drunk. Did he do something else?
Just thinking about it made Shen Xiliu feel so sick that he wanted to vomit, with an indescribable anger lingering in his chest.
Despicable people always like to take advantage of others' misfortunes and do despicable things when they are unconscious.
Qi Yan heard Shen Xiliu curse in a low voice: "Shen Yunshu is an idiot. He dares to find anyone for me..."
He was angry, but directed at Shen Yunshu, the instigator, not Qi Yan, someone he should not take seriously.
“…”
After a long while, Qi Yan finally came back to his senses and wiped the wine and crushed ice off his face: "... Damn, I screwed it."
Why didn't you realize this problem existed?
He didn't even take the chance to explain to Shen Xiliu.
If Shen Xiliu hadn't mentioned it, Qi Yan wouldn't have even realized that what he did that night was indeed taking advantage of someone's misfortune. When Shen Xiliu was unconscious, he did all kinds of things and took everything seriously...
Blinded by illusions and self-righteous arrogance.
He needs to apologize.
But after something like this happened, it became more difficult than before to find an opportunity to apologize and explain.
If it wasn't necessary, Shen Xiliu didn't want to see him.
The false marking has reached the later stage, and there is no need to perform x behavior every day, so Chen Xiliu simply stopped coming. For two consecutive days, Qi Yan hadn't been able to see the other party, as if he had returned to the previous situation of losing contact, or even worse.
"Why does your voice sound so lifeless?"
Jiang Yuqing, who hadn't called for a long time, sounded a little weak, but as soon as the call was connected, he found that Qi Yan's voice was even weaker than his.
"It's okay." Qi Yan took a deep breath and calmed down. "I just messed up one thing. I'm trying hard to make up for it. Why did you call me?"
"Nothing, just telling you that I'm going back home tomorrow."
Qi Yan was stunned: "You want to go back to China? Why?" Does Jiang Yuqing still have a reason to return to China?
"I accepted a task assigned by my grandfather and went back to attend the birthday party of the head of the Shen family." Jiang Yuqing said casually.
Qi Yan was silent for a while: "Why?" Jiang Yuqing has never liked to have contact with his family and has been away from the family's core circle for many years. Now that he has accepted the task from Grandpa Jiang, does he want to return to that circle?
"No reason. My parents are too protective and don't want to tell me anything. If I want to find out why that bastard died, of course I can only turn to grandpa for help."
"Oh, by the way, I'm pregnant." Jiang Yuqing thought for a moment and said, "Gu Yanxing's."
Qi Yan: “Ah?!”
If he remembered correctly, these two guys hadn't seen each other for more than three years? How can someone be killed from a distance?
Could it be that she is pregnant with Nezha? ? ?
No, a normal Nezha would have been born in three years.
