Chapter 21: Sneak PhotosÂ
Song Xingmian: [??? Why? Why does Auntie want Brother to go on blind dates?]
Gu Yanxiu: [Did you encounter some problem? Ah Yu, you can tell me.]
Fu Xingjian: [If there’s trouble at home, you can tell me anytime. Ah Yu, I’ll cover for you.]
Lin Shiyu: [Brother Yuzhou isn’t even married yet. How could Auntie rush you? What did you do to annoy her recently?]
Lin Shiyu was clearly the one who understood him best. Before he could answer, another message followed close behind: [Or did Auntie propose some conditions, making you choose one of two?]
Wen Yuhuai miserably quoted Lin Shiyu’s latest message: [My mom wants me to join the company and be a corporate slave, otherwise I go on blind dates. Choose one of two. [Sigh.jpg]]
Lin Shiyu: [……]
[Just join the company. Do you actually want to go on a blind date?]
Wen Yuhuai replied with a sweating bean emoji.
[How did you know? Anyway, a girl might not even like a useless second-generation heir like me. I’ll just fool my mom then. After a few times, she probably won’t force me to go on blind dates anymore. After all, she cares about face too.]
The message was just sent when he was greeted with four simultaneous “No”s.
Wen Yuhuai: [But I know nothing about company matters.]
Fu Xingjian was concise: [I’ll talk to Auntie. I’ll guide you hand in hand.]
Wen Yuhuaiâs eyes widened uncontrollably. Associating this with the previous message about covering for himâ
That strange feeling came again, again and again.
Wen Yuhuai knocked his own head to stop overthinking. They just purely treated him as a younger brother; they definitely didn’t have any other ulterior motives.
After knocking twice, Wen Yuhuai felt his brain was much clearer. Afraid that the other would go to his old mother the next second, he hurriedly tagged him to reply: [No need!!!]
He used three exclamation marks in a row. The meaning of rejection was too obvious. Fu Xingjian silently replied with a period.
Wen Yuhuai: [Brother, I beg you to let me go. Business matters are too complex. Have some pity on this delicate flower of mine that hasn’t been polluted by society yet. Brother Jian, you’d better find someone else to ravage. [Hands clasped.jpg]]
He had merely borrowed a trending meme from the internet casually. When he sent the message, he didn’t think much of it, but the breathing of the other four people behind their phones instantly became heavy.
Especially seeing the words “delicate flower,” uncontrollable R-rated scenes that made their blood boil appeared in their minds.
Fu Xingjianâs gaze landed darkly on the phone, as if he could see a certain person he longed for through this small electronic screen.
With a thought, he turned to open the laptop that had several locks on it, clicking on a blank icon on the desktop.
Skillfully unlocking the last lock with his fingerprint, the photos inside instantly came into view.
There were many photos, from various angles, but all of the same person.
Fu Xingjian moved the mouse slightly, clicking on one of them.
In the photo, the young man’s eyes were covered by a dark tie. The tie was soaked with tears, and the skin around his eyes was flushed red.
Below the edge of the tie was the young man’s elegant, high nose bridge. Further down were lips swollen and moist from kissing, and messy tear stains still streaked his face.
Beautiful beyond words, and pitiful beyond words.
He closed his eyes as if enduring something, but the phone chimed with notification sounds again.
Exhaling deeply, he opened his eyes to look at the chat history, finding that Wen Yuhuai had sent several messages in a row.
[So is there any way for me not to go to the company and not go on blind dates?]
[Why is no one talking? Where are the people?]
[Hello? Hello? Hello?]
Song Xingmian: [Brother, come abroad with me. I’ll support you~~]
Wen Yuhuai felt somewhat physiological discomfort seeing those two wavy lines. Just as he was about to type to tell him to speak properly, Gu Yanxiu sent another message.
[Ah Yu, you should join the company. I can still help with this. Ask me anytime if you don’t understand something. regarding blind dates, have you thought about what if the girl happens to like you and insists on marrying youâ]
This possibility was quite high. Wen Yuhuaiâs face appealed to both men and women. Even if he was just a straw bag, many people were willing to spend money to keep him. After all, just having this face at home was pleasing enough to the eye.
Wen Yuhuai obviously thought of this possibility too. Thinking back to his school days, he received love letters continuously. There were even female classmates who threatened to keep him as a sugar baby.
Of course, speaking of being a sugar baby, few people could afford Young Master Wen’s level of spending.
After analyzing the pros and cons, Wen Yuhuai also found that the optimal solution was joining the company. He put down the phone unhappily, enjoying his few remaining moments of freedom.
Once entering the sea of the workplace, freedom becomes a stranger.
Time quickly arrived at the next day. Finally, no more moths flew out. Wen Yuhuai successfully completed the physical exam. Waiting for the report to come out, if there were no issues, he could be discharged.
Wen Yuhuai, however, unprecedentedly didn’t want to be discharged. Being discharged meant facing cruel reality. He might as well just book a monthly stay at the hospital.
This idea was scolded by Jiang Jing again after she saw through it. Coincidentally, the physical exam report came out. His health was great, nothing wrong at all. He had even gained a few pounds during the half-month kidnapping; it didn’t look like a kidnapping, but rather like a vacation.
The result was naturally being packed up and hauled out of the hospital by Jiang Jing.
“Scram, scram, scram. Go pack your things. Discharged today. It’s annoying just looking at you.”
After returning to his own home, Jiang Jing gave him a final ultimatum directly. “Today is Wednesday. Let it go for this week. Next week your brother comes back, I’ll let you off again. The Monday after next, roll into the company on time to clock in for work, or else your cards will be stopped immediately.”
What could Wen Yuhuai say? He dared not say anything. In the end, he could only agree bitterly.
At least there were still a few days of buffer time. If he said more, what if even these few days were gone?
After discharge, Wen Yuhuaiâs bodyguards were also in place. Two young guys around 1.8 meters tall, not even as tall as him. They looked ordinary, but it was said they had been trained since childhood. Each was a top fighter, and their counter-reconnaissance skills were also strong.
“What are your names?”
The one on the left spoke first: “My name is Hu Zhe. Young Master can call me Ah Zhe.”
The one on the right was either high-cold or socially anxious; anyway, he was sparing with words: “Jiang Qiao.”
Wen Yuhuai nodded and asked again, “Is accommodation arranged for you?”
The two answered simultaneously: “Arranged.”
Wen Yuhuai let them go back to rest first. There definitely wouldn’t be problems in his own home. He would take them along when going out.
The two said yes, turned, and left. Wen Yuhuai also went upstairs to his room.
It was agreed to hold a party to celebrate after his discharge, incidentally to wash away the bad luck. The venue had to be chosen carefully.
After the venue was more or less selected, Wen Yuhuai set his sights on the few bottles of good wine in Wen Chenglin’s wine cabinet, secretly planning to steal a few bottles to take there on that day.
It had been a while since he drank with them.
