Chapter 147: An Qingyan is Hiding Too Deep! Scheming!
“My whole body aches from riding horses these past few days. How do you feel, YanYan?”
Qin He casually chatted with An Qingyan, sincerely admiring, “I think you ride pretty well. How are you so good at everything?”
“It’s alright, you learned quickly too.” An Qingyan outwardly appeared calm and composed, but he had already forgotten what Qin He had said. His mind was preoccupied with the hand on his thigh.
If Gu Fei weren’t his boyfriend, he would have considered him a pervert. He looked around and, seeing no one paying attention, reached under the table to push the man’s hand away.
He didn’t succeed. His hand was grasped even tighter. The man’s fingertips lightly caressed his back.
An Qingyan: “…”
“YanYan, what’s wrong with you?” Qin He asked with concern.
An Qingyan smiled, “Nothing.”
Looking at Gu Fei’s still stern profile, he thought, This guy is so repressed. He gave up struggling, and after a while, leaned towards Gu Fei and whispered, “Let go of me.”
The corner of the man’s lips curled up imperceptibly.
He still didn’t move.
“YanYan, why aren’t you eating? Don’t you like it?” The enthusiastic Qin He asked again with concern.
An Qingyan’s mouth twitched slightly, “…My hand is a little sore, I can’t pick up the food.”
Qin He: “You should have said so earlier. Bro, let me get it for you. What do you want to eat?”
The first person to react wasn’t An Qingyan, but Gu Fei. Mr. Gu’s expression subtly turned cold. He squeezed the young man’s hand, seeming to warn him, then let go.
An Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Glancing at the man’s slightly gloomy expression, he couldn’t help but smile, saying to Qin He, “Thanks, Brother Qin. My hand suddenly doesn’t hurt anymore, I can do it myself.”
If someone else were to serve him, Gu Fei would definitely get jealous, and in the end, he would be the one to suffer.
Qin He: “…Okay then.”
So your hand has self-adjusting functions?
Gu Fei didn’t make any more little moves after that.
An Qingyan ignored the world around him, concentrating solely on eating. The hotel food was delicious, and he ate until his stomach was full, and he couldn’t help but burp.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes turned to him, including Gu Fei’s.
An Qingyan: “…”
Is there time to find a hole to hide in?
Duan Ci openly laughed. Burping in front of Mr. Gu was really embarrassing. And eating so much, like a country bumpkin who’d never seen the world.
Fortunately, everyone just glanced at him and looked away, continuing to drink and chat.
An Qingyan awkwardly touched his nose, his fair, round earlobes turning slightly red. He unexpectedly met the man’s gaze, which held a hint of amusement.
His cheeks began to flush. He awkwardly put down his chopsticks, took a sip of the drink beside him, and then blinked in confusion.
Huh? Why did the orange juice taste different?
Gu Fei kindly reminded, “That’s mine.”
Sure enough, the orange juice in the cup had turned a wine-red color, it was Gu Fei’s glass of red wine. He quickly put down the cup and sincerely apologized, “Mr. Gu, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
“It’s fine.” Mr. Gu was magnanimous and didn’t mind a small star’s mistake.
Their conversation was as if they didn’t know each other.
Others didn’t notice this little incident, but Duan Ci, who had been secretly observing, saw everything. He stabbed at the food in his bowl with his chopsticks.
Hah! So An Qingyan is so scheming!
The difference in color between orange juice and red wine was so great, only the blind would mistake them. An Qingyan did it on purpose, to get closer to Mr. Gu!
I really underestimated you!
However, An Qingyan had really just taken the wrong cup because he was nervous and embarrassed. There was no scheming involved. Did he need to deliberately approach his boyfriend?
Later in the dinner, several people got drunk, and Wu Weiguang was flushed, raising his glass to Gu Fei, “Mr. Gu, I’d like to toast you.”
“Mm.” Gu Fei politely raised his glass, only taking a symbolic sip. He didn’t drink much, and no one dared to urge him.
He was only slightly tipsy.
Duan Ci seized the opportunity, standing up with a glass, walking unsteadily to Gu Fei, “Mr. Gu, I’ll also toast you.”
His cheeks were flushed with alcohol, his eyes were a little hazy, a smile on his delicately made-up face. The low neckline of his shirt revealed his skin, particularly attracting attention.
He was actually still sober, but was pretending.
Thinking this, he leaned closer to Gu Fei, his voice soft, uttering two words, “Mr. Gu?”
Before Gu Fei could react, An Qingyan felt goosebumps rising on his arms. By now, he still didn’t understand Duan Ci’s intentions; he had to be out of his mind.
However, Gu Fei only glanced at Duan Ci indifferently, showing no interest. He politely raised his glass, but didn’t drink.
“Mr. Gu, I’ll drink first.”
Duan Ci said, subtly moving closer to Gu Fei, his foot suddenly stumbled, and he fell towards the man. He exclaimed in surprise, his glass tilting, the wine-red liquid spilling onto the man’s chest, soaking the fabric. The white shirt was stained.
Gu Fei: “…”
An Qingyan closed his eyes, unable to bear to watch.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were on Gu Fei and Duan Ci.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,” Duan Ci apologized in a panic, taking out a handkerchief from his suit pocket to wipe the stain on Gu Fei’s shirt.
He was very close, and Gu Fei inevitably smelled his perfume, which was a bit pungent.
The man frowned displeasedly, immediately pushing Duan Ci away and standing up. His usually expressionless face was now tense, exuding a chilling aura.
Duan Ci was a little scared and froze in place.
The air instantly fell silent. Others looked at each other, not daring to speak. Wu Weiguang had to stand up and smile apologetically, “Mr. Gu, I’m so sorry, I’ll immediately ask someone to get you some clothes…”
Gu Fei: “No need.”
The smile on Duan Ci’s face was stiff, he tentatively said, “Mr. Gu, my room is upstairs, why don’t you come up to my room to change? Or I can help you wash your clothes.”
An Qingyan watched the drama unfold, in a detached and amused state.
This time, Gu Fei didn’t even give Duan Ci a glance, directly turning his gaze to An Qingyan, who was watching the show. Everyone else’s eyes followed.
An Qingyan: “…”
He could only stand up, forcing a polite smile onto his fair and handsome face, but the slightly tense lines around his mouth betrayed his nervousness.
“Mr. Gu, my room is also upstairs, why don’t you…”
Gu Fei: “Okay.”
An Qingyan: “…” At least let me finish my sentence before you agree?!
Everyone: “?!”
Mr. Gu, are you sure you aren’t treating people differently?!
Yang, the only one who knew the truth, smiled like a mother hen. Sigh… it’s the same thing again, the fun of a little couple, single dogs just don’t understand.
Duan Ci really had no eye for people, and his acting was too clumsy. His tricks were ancient. Others had used similar methods on Mr. Gu before, and they were all kicked out on the spot.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone, An Qingyan had no choice but to take Gu Fei out. Before turning around, he received a resentful look from Duan Ci.
Yang also stood up smiling, “Everyone, we’ll take our leave then, please continue.”
The rest of the people looked at each other, seeing confusion and excited gossip in each other’s eyes.
Except for Duan Ci, whose face turned red and white, feeling ashamed and angry. He couldn’t bear to stay any longer, so he hurried away.
Ahhhh, it’s infuriating!!
He was actually beaten to it by An Qingyan!!
He didn’t know what methods An had used secretly, hiding it so well, truly scheming. Gu Fei just left with him! Just went back to his room with him!!
Wu Weiguang was also furious, Duan Ci was really problematic. He ruined a perfectly good dinner party. Was Mr. Gu someone you could approach casually? With such clumsy methods?!
He waved his hand helplessly, “Alright, everyone disperse. And, don’t spread this around.”
On the other side, An Qingyan, who hadn’t said a word along the way, cautiously looked around and quickly took Gu Fei back to his room, closing the door.
Just as he was about to get some answers, he was pressed against the door, and then his mouth was blocked, his words caught in his throat.
They hadn’t seen each other for more than half a month. Gu Fei seemed to have poured all his longing into this kiss, holding the young man tightly, until he kissed him until he was flushed, breathless, and only then did he end the kiss.
He lightly pecked the young man’s reddened lips, chuckling softly, his voice magnetic and low, “I wanted to kiss you like this during dinner.”
An Qingyan didn’t have the strength to resist. After a while, he finally recovered, his face still red, he frowned slightly displeased, “Now that you’ve kissed me, shouldn’t you explain a few things?”
