Chapter 39: Kneel
After leaving the hospital, Xie Miaohan seemed to disappear completely from Gu Huaiye’s world. He hadn’t seen him for a long time.
While Gu Huaiye breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt empty inside.
To stop thinking about Xie Miaohan, Gu Huaiye filled his schedule with study and work.
Only by being busy could he temporarily forget about him and Xie Miaohan, and let time heal him so he could let go of this person forever.
A few days later, while Gu Huaiye was studying in the library, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
The student at the same table looked up.
Gu Huaiye hurriedly picked up the phone, lowered his head apologetically to the person, then turned and walked to the stairwell, lowering his voice.
“What?”
Chen Zirui’s voice came from the other end. “Where are you? Don’t tell me you went to the library again.”
Gu Huaiye defaulted.
Chen Zirui paused, then said helplessly, “Top student Gu, are you pushing yourself too hard? You should rest occasionally. How long has it been since you played with me?”
“Don’t we meet every day?”
Chen Zirui laughed angrily. “We’re in the same dorm; tell me if we can meet every day?”
“Speak straight; what exactly do you want?”
“Come out and play.”
“No.” Gu Huaiye refused without thinking.
“Just come out for a while.”
“No.”
“Just stay for an hour.” Chen Zirui thought for a moment and said, “If you come, when I inherit the old man’s position one day, I’ll sign a big contract with your company, starting at ten million.”
Gu Huaiye laughed, mocking him, “With your current slacker attitude, waiting for your contract, I’m afraid I’ll be fifty or sixty.”
“Are you cursing me?”
“I’m wishing your dad a long life.”
“That is cursing me.”
Gu Huaiye: “…”
If I had known, I would have recorded our call and sent it to Father Chen, letting him reward Chen Zirui with a combo of cane, whip, and hanger.
Gu Huaiye looked down at his watch, thinking that going for a while wouldn’t delay things.
Even if Chen Zirui was a jerk, he was still Father Chen’s child with his first wife; the probability of inheriting the company was still much higher.
“Alright, I’ll go.” Gu Huaiye said, “Send me the address.”
More than half an hour later, Gu Huaiye arrived at the bar box Chen Zirui mentioned.
When he opened the door, three strangers were sitting inside, probably Chen Zirui’s new friends.
“He’s the Brother Gu I mentioned.” Chen Zirui pointed at Gu Huaiye and said to the three.
Given his family background, the three nodded respectfully to Gu Huaiye.
They said in unison, “Hello, Brother Gu.”
Gu Huaiye twitched his mouth, feeling like he had stumbled into a gang.
“Just call me Xiao Gu.”
Letting Chen Zirui call him brother was just for fun. They were close, and sometimes they even called each other “Dad” when joking around.
But hearing strangers call him brother made him uncomfortable all over.
The three immediately changed their address.
“Finally waited for you.” Chen Zirui picked up a glass, poured wine into it, and spoke sourly, “You’re a busy man now; it’s hard to even chat with you.”
Gu Huaiye sat down next to him and took the glass. “Not that exaggerated.”
“Punish you to drink a cup first.”
Gu Huaiye didn’t refuse, tilting his head back and drinking a cup.
“Xiao Gu has a good alcohol tolerance.” One of them applauded and praised.
Gu Huaiye lowered his head and smiled. “It’s okay.”
“Drinking alone is boring.” Chen Zirui pondered for a moment, his eyes curving, excitedly saying, “Do you want to get someone to come in and accompany us drinking? I heard the quality here is quite good; every one is very beautiful.”
“Sure, sure.” Except for Gu Huaiye, the others nodded happily.
“Are you still Chen Xialin’s brother?” Gu Huaiye looked at Chen Zirui with disgust. “Did you forget I have an engagement with your brother?”
“I didn’t plan to order for you.”
Gu Huaiye: ???
Acting so self-righteous?
“If I knew you were playing so wildly, I wouldn’t have come.”
Chen Zirui looked at him strangely. “Brother Gu, we’re not messing around here, just having someone pour wine. How is that wild? Knowing nothing, are you still a pure little boy who hasn’t solved it yourself?”
Gu Huaiye: “…”
Laozi fucked Xie Miaohan before.
Pure little boy my ass.
Chen Zirui’s goading method was indeed useful; Gu Huaiye fell for it immediately, leaning back and crossing his legs.
“You order.”
Finally seeing the familiar Gu Huaiye, Chen Zirui felt warm and relieved inside.
He immediately called the bar manager. Soon, there was a knock on the box door, and four people came in at once.
Gu Huaiye looked over lazily. After his gaze swept over a face, he immediately sat up straight.
Fuck!
Why was Xie Miaohan here?
Gu Huaiye scrutinized Xie Miaohan’s attire coldly. An ill-fitting white shirt outlined his muscles. The buttons weren’t fastened properly; the top two were completely open, revealing beautiful and sexy collarbones.
Among the four, Xie Miaohan was undoubtedly the best-looking. Chen Zirui’s three friends stared at him closely, swallowing their saliva.
“Senior… Senior Xie…” Chen Zirui was also surprised, stammering, “Why… why are you here… working as a… accompany boy…”
Xie Miaohan seemed not to notice the anger in Gu Huaiye’s eyes and curled his lips into a smile.
“I’m here for a part-time job.”
“But… but this is…” Chen Zirui scanned Xie Miaohan, his cheeks flushing, “Too… too inappropriate…”
“I’m saving for next year’s tuition.” Xie Miaohan bent down, picked up the wine glass on the table, and smiled. “Which guest should I accompany to drink?”
Chen Zirui’s friends raised their hands scrambling, saying in unison, “Me, me, me!”
Chen Zirui glared at the three. “He is an Alpha, much higher level than you. Don’t mess around.”
“It doesn’t matter; I won’t release pheromones.”
Gu Huaiye’s temple throbbed violently. He stepped forward and grabbed Xie Miaohan’s wrist.
“You want to accompany drinks, right? Then accompany me!”
Excitement flashed imperceptibly in Xie Miaohan’s eyes, but only for a moment. He returned to normal and nodded obediently.
“Okay.”
He walked towards Gu Huaiye and was about to sit in the seat next to him, but was stopped by Gu Huaiye.
“Who let you sit?” Gu Huaiye said coldly. “Kneel.”
Chen Zirui felt it was a bit too much and quickly said to Gu Huaiye, “He’s just here to work, not your slave. No need to make him kneel to accompany you drinking.”
But before Gu Huaiye could answer, Xie Miaohan knelt down cleanly.
He pressed his face against Gu Huaiye’s thigh, staring at Gu Huaiye with fawning and blurry eyes.
“Is this okay?”
