Interrupted by Ye Xingzhou, Qi Xing lost interest in lecturing anyone. Just as he was about to leave, someone else stopped him—the bartender he’d chatted up at the bar.
“Young Master Qi, can I get your contact number?”
The bartender looked at him with a smile and was still somewhat unwilling. Having sold out Ye Wanqi and yet failing to get anything good from Qi Xing felt like a bad deal.
But before Qi Xing could respond, Ye Xingzhou in the car gestured again: “Get in.”
Qi Xing pointed at the bartender, deliberately saying, “I’ve got a date with him first, Young Master Ye should at least respect the line.”
The bartender only then noticed someone else was in the car. He froze and when Ye Xingzhou glanced at him, his eyes devoid of any recognition, as dismissive as if looking at a dead thing. That single glance was enough to chill the bartender to the bone.
The smile froze on the bartender’s face and he secretly regretted approaching.
Qi Xing was about to say something else when the bartender mumbled, “Sorry for the interruption,” and ran off.
Qi Xing: “…”
What is with everyone?
Ye Xingzhou chuckled lightly and looked at Qi Xing: “You got stood up.”
The mockery in his eyes was too obvious that Qi Xing couldn’t pretend to be blind. “Will it kill you to not gloat?”
Ye Xingzhou: “Your taste is getting worse.”
Qi Xing muttered, “The worst is sleeping with you,” then angrily went around to the passenger seat, opened the door and got in.
After he slammed the door shut, Ye Xingzhou slammed the accelerator and the car sped off.
Qi Xing frowned and belatedly realized that he had driven himself over and he wasn't even drunk, so why was he getting into this beast’s car?
…Forget it.
A WeChat message from Yang Kaiming popped up: “You just left? What about that bastard Ye Wanqi?”
Qi Xing nestled into the seat while casually replying: “You guys handle it. Just teach him a lesson and disperse. Why? Are you going to beat him to death?”
Yang Kaiming: “Okay then. You should have said you were hooking up with Young Master Ye earlier! Why did you drag us into teaching your little brother-in-law a lesson? Next time when the two of you have a marital fight, please, Qi, show some mercy and don’t involve innocent bystanders. [Pleading face]”
Qi Xing: “Scram.”
The car stopped at a crossroad waiting for the red light. Qi Xing was holding his phone and sending Yang Kaiming abusive emojis, when a hand reached over and snatched the phone from his grasp.
“You—”
Ye Xingzhou calmly scrolled through their chat history, his gaze on Qi Xing was meaningful. “Marital fight?”
Qi Xing’s face flushed, not from shyness but from anger: “He’s talking nonsense. Do you actually believe him?”
“You should hang out less with him. If you hadn’t come here tonight, you wouldn’t have almost been tricked by Ye Wanqi again.” Ye Xingzhou coldly reminded him.
Qi Xing curiously asked: “How did you know Ye Wanqi was scheming against me?”
Ye Xingzhou: “A friend of mine owns that bar. Aren’t you a regular there? You should go there less often.”
“Where I go is none of your business,” Qi Xing was unhappy hearing this nonsense, “There were people doing drugs in your friend’s bar. I think your friend should reflect on how he runs his business.”
Ye Xingzhou: “Don’t worry about it. Just mind your own business and don’t touch those things.”
Qi Xing thought, “Who’s touching those things? It’s your good-for-nothing brother who did it.”
While Qi Xing was speaking, Ye Xingzhou opened his phone and quickly scanned Qi Xing’s WeChat QR code. By the time Qi Xing reacted and snatched back his phone, they were already added as friends.
He was about to say something when he saw that Ye Xingzhou had changed their chat background to a picture of him. He blurted out: “Are you fucking crazy? Using this photo as a chat background?”
This bastard had actually used the photo he’d secretly taken at the hotel—the one of Qi Xing’s back as he was pulling up his pants. It was utterly shameless.
Ye Xingzhou brushed aside Qi Xing’s hand who's reaching for his phone: “No one else will see it.”
Qi Xing gnashed his teeth: “If you let anyone see it, I’ll kill you.”
Ye Xingzhou’s gaze returned to the phone screen. The photo showed Qi Xing shirtless with several suggestive red marks on his back. His slightly lowered head and sweat-dampened hair clinging to his neck while the shape of his shoulders and shoulder blades were perfectly sculpted, even the curve of his waist and hips was particularly alluring. His straight spine extended downwards and disappeared into the curve of his firm buttocks as the slightly pulled-up fabric of his pants only added to the allure.
The red light turned green.
He turned off the phone screen and pressed the accelerator again.
Qi Xing leaned back in his seat then closed his eyes, and ignored him.
When the car stopped, Qi Xing was almost asleep. He drowsily opened his eyes and found that Ye Xingzhou had sent him home. He waved his hand to unbuckle his seatbelt and get out of the car but Ye Xingzhou’s hand stopped him: “Tell the security guard to let my car in.”
Qi Xing: “I’ll just get out here…”
Ye Xingzhou: “I’m coming up with you.”
Qi Xing was stunned for three seconds and realized that this man was serious. He swallowed the curses he was about to unleash: “You still want to come to my house to… you know?”
Ye Xingzhou: “You didn’t object just now.”
But he didn’t agree either, right?
Qi Xing was almost admiring this beast’s audacity: “Are you shameless? This isn't just my house, it's also my parents house and my parents are even home. Does anyone even hook up under their parents’ noses?”
“I had someone contact your father’s secretary to discuss business yesterday. They said your father won’t be back until the day after tomorrow. As for your mother, a three-day shopping trip to Europe should be enough, right?” Ye Xingzhou calmly revealed, “If you don’t want to do it here, then go to my place.”
Qi Xing: “No.”
Ye Xingzhou: “Then let’s go upstairs.”
Qi Xing endured: “Isn’t a hotel okay?”
“Dirty.” Ye Xingzhou frowned slightly.
“You think it’s dirty?” Qi Xing almost laughed in anger, “When you first did it on the hotel room carpet, you didn’t think it was dirty?”
Ye Xingzhou slowly tapped the steering wheel with his fingers: “If you don’t want to then we can also do it here in my car. I don’t mind.”
He minds, okay? Doing it in the car left him with a sore back and waist for days and he doesn't want to experience it again.
Qi Xing said expressionlessly: “No.”
Having said that, he still brought the man upstairs.
As they rode the elevator, Ye Xingzhou stood leisurely behind him, suddenly saying: “If you find it inconvenient, move out and live with me.”
Qi Xing: “Don’t even think about it.”
Moving in with a man? His father wouldn’t just skin him alive, he’d skin Ye Xingzhou alive too.
Then he heard Ye Xingzhou’s low chuckle, fleeting and close to his ear: “Such a precious treasure beside you and yet, you dare to go out and fool around. You’re quite brave.”
Qi Xing raised his elbow and gave him a sharp jab.
Entering the house, Qi Xing went to the dining room to get some water and told Ye Xingzhou to make himself at home.
Ye Xingzhou’s gaze swept casually across the room and landing on a family photo on the living room wall—Qi Xing with his parents, Qi Ronghua and his wife.
It showed a harmonious family.
A loving couple and filial child.
Qi Xing might seem flamboyant and arrogant but was actually casual and naive. As his personality was inseparable from his family atmosphere.
Qi Xing walked over: “Hey, what are you looking at?”
Ye Xingzhou’s gaze fell back on him. His first sight was Qi Xing’s wet lips after drinking water. His eyes flickered and he reached out to pull him close and leaned over to kiss him.
Qi Xing widened his eyes in surprise. Before he could react, Ye Xingzhou had already succeeded. Ye Xingzhou’s tongue invaded his mouth. Stirring around and quickly licking the soft flesh under his tongue to the sensitive palate and then hooking his tongue and sucked.
Qi Xing couldn’t bear it anymore and bit down. Ye Xingzhou calmly let go then wiped his bitten lip, completely unconcerned. Before Qi Xing could curse, he pushed him against the wall behind him, and kissed him even more fiercely.
“You’re a fucking dog, aren’t you? Mmm——”
The rest of his words were swallowed by Qi Xing’s mouth. No matter how hard he bit, Ye Xingzhou wouldn’t back down and relentlessly kissed him until he was dizzy and breathless before letting go.
Ye Xingzhou’s breathing was also unsteady: “Still dare to curse?”
Qi Xing was still angry: “You’re too nosy…”
Ye Xingzhou pinched his waist. His fingers rubbed against an unknown spot, causing Qi Xing’s momentum to immediately weaken and his glare was now filled with resentment, clearly lacking any intimidation.
“Where’s your room?” Ye Xingzhou asked in a hoarse voice.
Qi Xing didn’t want to say but if he didn’t, this hooligan would probably do it right here.
Finally, he reluctantly raised his chin: “Over there.”
Ye Xingzhou directly carried him up.
…..,..
Thrown onto the bed, Qi Xing’s brain was still dazed. When Ye Xingzhou’s body came down, he kicked out but Ye Xingzhou held him down, skillfully and quickly stripping off his pants.
Slap, slap, slap.
Three slaps landed on Qi Xing’s butt. Qi Xing stared at Ye Xingzhou in disbelief. His eyes red with anger: “What are you doing?!”
Ye Xingzhou looked at him intently, his slightly hoarse voice carrying a warning: “If you dare to go on a date with someone else again, I won’t mind giving you a lesson.”
Qi Xing: “Get lost!”
His voice trembled with anger.
Ye Xingzhou reached out and pressed on the corner of his eye but Qi Xing yanked his hand away and viciously bit his forearm.
Ye Xingzhou didn’t pull his hand away and just let Qi Xing vent. Except for a slight frown, he didn’t react in any other way.
When Qi Xing’s teeth were sore and he released his bite, Ye Xingzhou asked in a low voice: “Do you still dare to do it again?”
“Get out!” Qi Xing wanted to slap himself half an hour ago for deciding to bring this bastard upstairs, “Get out now! Even if I sleep with someone else, I won’t look for you again. What are you for bossing me around? I can do whatever I want and why did you hit my butt? My parents haven’t even hit me, yet you…”
Ye Xingzhou’s lips pressed down and kissed him again.
“Mmm, mmm——”
Qi Xing struggled desperately, only to be met with Ye Xingzhou’s even fiercer and more intense kiss. Once again, he was breathless as his mentality completely collapsed and tears streamed down his face.
Ye Xingzhou finally pulled back and looked down at him. Qi Xing closed his eyes and sobbed as his tears continuously slid down his cheeks.
He wiped Qi Xing’s face, his hand was wet with tears. Qi Xing was still crying and refusing to look at him.
“Crying baby.” Ye Xingzhou muttered.
Qi Xing’s response was a punch to his face.
For once, Ye Xingzhou didn’t dodge. The punch landed squarely on his face. Qi Xing opened his eyes and saw a red mark on Ye Xingzhou’s cheekbone. Combined with his rugged and deep eyebrows after taking off his glasses, the clear signs of distress only highlighted the wild and evil nature of his face.
Qi Xing gritted his teeth: “Don’t touch me.”
Ye Xingzhou’s hand rubbed his butt. His face was cold but his touch was lewd and lascivious. Qi Xing was furious and wanted to kick him again but Ye Xingzhou held him down.
“Does it hurt?”
Qi Xing cursed: “You should let me slap you twice then you would know if it hurts or not, you bastard.”
Ye Xingzhou’s slaps weren’t light as the affected area was indeed red. But more than the pain, it was his wounded pride. But the more he was like this, the more the wicked thoughts in Ye Xingzhou’s heart stirred.
He finally restrained himself but his hand didn’t move away.
“Do you dare to date with others again?”
“I don’t dare… Don’t slap me! I will not have dates with others anymore!”
Qi Xing could still curse at first but as Ye Xingzhou rubbed him more and more intensely, his body quickly reacted. The redness on his face was no longer simply from anger and even the curses he uttered were accompanied by panting.
“Stop rubbing, you beast…”
Ye Xingzhou leaned down and bit the place he had just been rubbing.
Qi Xing gasped as his fingers clenching the bed sheets beneath him and unable to curse anymore.
