Chapter 46: Gege, I Want to Make You Happy
When they used to work together, the relationship between Qin Wan and Chen Ming was very average.
Chen Ming was snobbish, and his character was not upright. Moreover, he was a chronic gambler, a complete degenerate.
Qin Wan’s personality didn’t mesh with his, so they didn’t speak much.
The reason he was asking for his help now was that he knew Chen Ming was the type of person who would do anything for money.
Sure enough, looking at the stack of money stuffed into his hand—estimated to be a thousand yuan—Chen Ming grinned.
“Qin Wan, what are you doing!” As he spoke, he stuffed the money into his pocket.
“Do brothers like us even need to be like this?”
Qin Wan smiled and nodded. “I’m troubling you, so I can’t let you help for free.”
Chen Ming was all smiles. “Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
Qin Wan: “It’s not convenient for me to show my face. Go to the special care unit of Sheng’an Hospital for me. Go to the top floor and take a look at bed 31 for me.”
“See if the patient’s condition is still okay.”
“When you come back, I’ll give you another thousand. Thank you, A-Ming.”
When Chen Ming heard it was such a simple job and there was a final payment, he smiled even more broadly.
“No problem, leave it to me!”
Qin Wan instructed: “You must look secretly; it’s best not to be seen by others.”
Although Chen Ming didn’t understand why visiting a patient had to be done secretly, he didn’t ask much for the sake of the two thousand yuan.
“Don’t worry!”
“A-Ming, then go now. I’ll do your work here for you.”
Chen Ming nodded. “Alright, you wait for me!”
After speaking, he turned and ran out excitedly.
Qin Wan looked at his back and let out a light sigh of relief.
Gu Xinglan didn’t allow him to meet Auntie Rong privately, but he didn’t say he couldn’t send someone to visit her.
Chen Ming was very clever; he shouldn’t be discovered.
Even if he were discovered and Gu Xinglan later pursued it and involved him, it would be what he deserved.
Two thousand yuan—how could it be so easy to earn!
Qin Wan stayed in the shop and helped Xiao Linzi and Brother Liu wipe tables, sweep the floor, and set out bowls and chopsticks.
Half an hour later, Chen Ming returned.
Qin Wan immediately went to meet him.
“How was it?”
Chen Ming waved his hand and took a deep breath. “I went, but I didn’t see anyone.”
Qin Wan was stunned. “What?”
Chen Ming: “The ward was empty. I cleverly asked the nurse. The nurse said the patient in bed 31 is no longer in their hospital.”
Qin Wan’s face turned pale instantly.
The bowls and chopsticks in his hand shook, nearly falling to the ground.
“Then where did she go?” Qin Wan pressed.
Chen Ming shook his head. “I asked for you, but they all said they didn’t know.”
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands with a smirk. “Hey, look, the job is done, so the remaining thousand…”
Qin Wan frowned and didn’t speak, throwing the other thousand yuan on the table.
He left the restaurant with heavy steps.
He walked aimlessly along the street for a while.
His mind was a bit of a mess.
Was it because his actions this morning made Gu Xinglan unhappy that he transferred Auntie Rong to another hospital again?
Qin Wan sat down on the curb.
Holding his knees, his small face fell.
He had already had a bad dream, and suddenly losing contact with Auntie Rong made him lose his grounding; he felt a hollow, aching sadness.
His small head drooped low, staring blankly at a spot on the ground.
After sitting on the curb for a long time, he made a decision. Tonight, he must have a proper talk with Gu Xinglan.
He had to find out where he had moved Auntie Rong.
Gu Xinglan’s day was also very distressing.
Xiao Han and Tan Feng had been sent out to find her, but at noon, bad news came.
They found from the surveillance that Zhou Rong had taken a taxi to the seaside.
After that, she never appeared anywhere else.
The seaside area was a rocky beach with no surveillance.
The fact that she never came out after that made Gu Xinglan’s heart tighten.
“Expand the search area in that region, send more people, and continue searching.”
“If she can’t be found on land, call the maritime rescue team and search the sea.”
Gu Xinglan’s voice was icy, and his emotions had hit rock bottom.
If Zhou Rong hadn’t hidden in the rocky beach or the woods, then she was… in the sea.
This thought made him feel as if he were sitting on pins and needles.
If Zhou Rong really committed suicide by jumping into the sea to protect Qin Wan and prevent him from being controlled, then the matter would truly be beyond redemption.
Gu Xinglan lit a cigarette, his mood incredibly anxious.
He deeply inhaled and exhaled the grayish-white smoke.
He hadn’t been this flustered even when he was fighting wits and courage with his business rivals or facing storms within the Gu Group.
In the evening, Xiao Han called.
He said all the rescue teams with maritime rescue qualifications in Imperial City and surrounding cities had been mobilized, and his people had also gone into the sea.
But they hadn’t found anything.
On Gu Xinglan’s handsome face, his expression was as cold as frozen ice.
“Continue searching. I want to see her alive if she’s alive, or her body if she’s dead!”
After hanging up, he felt a throbbing pain in his temples.
He checked his watch; it was past six o’clock.
He called Butler Wang.
“Young Master, Mr. Qin returned a long time ago. He went straight into the bedroom as soon as he came back and hasn’t come out.”
Gu Xinglan nodded, put away his phone, stood up, and walked out of the President’s office.
When he returned to Shengshi Daguan Villa, Gu Xinglan found that Qin Wan was not in the dining room.
Butler Wang walked over. “Mr. Qin said he wasn’t very hungry; he’s still in the bedroom right now.”
Gu Xinglan’s brows furrowed slightly.
His first reaction was that Qin Wan was sick.
He hurried upstairs.
He pushed open the bedroom door.
No one was in the outer room.
When he walked into the inner room, he saw Qin Wan leaning against the headboard, holding that book The Complete Guide to Kissing Techniques and reading it seriously.
Gu Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn’t help but let a smile touch his lips.
And when his gaze landed on Qin Wan’s wrists, his eyes couldn’t help but shrink slightly.
At this moment, a burgundy tie was wrapped around Qin Wan’s wrists.
It was his tie.
It was wrapped a few times and knotted.
His two wrists were firmly bound together.
Seeing Gu Xinglan enter, Qin Wan looked up, a gentle smile blooming on his lips. ” Gege !”
He put down the book, and his two hands lay obediently on his lap.
Gu Xinglan walked to the bedside and sat down.
He reached out and held his wrists.
“Qin Wan, what is the meaning of this?” He narrowed his eyes and asked softly.
Qin Wan’s small face flushed, and he lowered his eyes slightly.
” Gege , I remember you said you liked this. So, this afternoon, I tried to tie it myself with your tie…”
“But I tied it all messily, it’s not pretty… and then, I couldn’t undo it and couldn’t leave the room.”
As he spoke, he bit his lip.
He leaned even closer. ” Gege , I want to make you happy…”
His voice was low and soft.
As he spoke, he looked up and lightly gazed into Gu Xinglan’s amber glazed eyes.
Hearing this, Gu Xinglan felt as if his heart had instantly melted.
He reached out and pulled the person into his arms.
“Qin Wan, your wounds haven’t healed yet. Are you trying to die by seducing me like this?” he whispered into his ear.
“I know, but it’s okay. Gege , just be a little gentler.” Qin Wan also whispered into his ear, his voice inexplicably seductive.
Gu Xinglan’s breathing stalled for a moment, and his heartbeat skipped a beat.
At this moment, his reason no longer supported him in thinking about the purpose of Qin Wan’s flattery.
He had already been stirred by the person in his arms to the point where his will was collapsing step by step.
Whether it was self-paralysis or wishful thinking.
Despite knowing it was impossible, at this moment, he was willing to choose to believe that Qin Wan’s feelings for him were pure—just like those between any ordinary couple.
“Alright, Gege will be very gentle.” His voice carried a hint of intoxication.
He pulled the person from his embrace, leaned down, and kissed him gently.
Qin Wan tried his best to cooperate, even catering to him.
He hooked his wrists, which were bound by the tie, around Gu Xinglan’s neck and kissed him passionately, just as he had learned from the book.
” Gege , peeling eggs for you this morning and saying I’d tell you stories to help you sleep—those were all things I truly wanted to do for you…” Qin Wan said breathlessly, taking a small break.
“Mn.” Gu Xinglan nodded. “Then what about binding your hands?”
“That too…”
“Good boy…” Gu Xinglan’s voice turned hoarse in an instant.
Their hot breaths intertwined, and the sound of their heartbeats echoed in their ears, similarly indistinguishable from one another.
Gu Xinglan gently laid Qin Wan down on the bed, untied the tie from his wrists, and then carefully removed his clothes.
He gently kissed his neck, shoulders, and collarbones.
“Qin Wan, I’m sorry…” he said softly.
Hearing this “I’m sorry,” Qin Wan felt a surge of bitterness in his heart.
He was apologizing?
He was actually apologizing to him!
Was it for the matter of using him as bait, or because of Auntie Rong?
Qin Wan’s heart ached.
But being continuously kissed and caressed by Gu Xinglan, engaging in the most intimate contact and friction, his consciousness soon fell apart…
Translator’s Note: Talk about a power move! Qin Wan using Gu Xinglan’s own “tastes” against him to get what he wants is both brilliant and heartbreaking. The “burgundy tie” is such a classic trope in these stories. But Gu Xinglan’s apology… that’s heavy. He knows things are about to get very, very bad. What do you think will happen when the truth about Auntie Rong comes out?
