Ye Xingzhou casually loosened his tie to take it off and threw it aside before calmly asking him, "What's the score?"
Qi Xing: "You knew Ye Wanyao was going to plant a bomb?"
Ye Xingzhou nodded slightly: "Yeah."
"You knew and you still went? He could have pressed the remote control at any time, and you would have been dead. Have you ever thought about that?" Qi Xing was very angry.
This bastard was the most capable when it came to scolding him, but he didn't care about his own safety at all. How could there be such a person?
Ye Xingzhou silently stared into his eyes, and Qi Xing said angrily, "Speak."
"Is that what you want to settle?" Ye Xingzhou suddenly asked.
Qi Xing: "What else?"
His eyes were clear and never hid his emotions. He really only wanted to settle this.
Qi Xing didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He had to make this bastard Ye Xingzhou realize the seriousness of the matter.
Ye Xingzhou put one arm around his waist before leaning against the sofa. Although his posture is lazy, he was actually a little distracted.
In Ye Xingzhou's memory, only when he was very young and when his mother was still alive, would she nag him endlessly about safety, remind and educate him when he was in danger, and scold him with a straight face when he put himself at risk.
Now, Qi Xing was the second one.
Qi Xing reached out and pinched his face: "Talk and don't try to escape."
"Are you nog angry about my choice?" Ye Xingzhou pulled his hand down.
Qi Xing paused his claws that were about to pull back and his eyes widened slightly. He froze for a moment, then sneered: "That one..."
Ye Xingzhou calmly looked at him.
Qi Xing: "My mother usually loves watching those bloody palace intrigue dramas. The tyrant always has to set up a target outside to be a shield for his true love..."
He lost in Ye Xingzhou's gaze: "Okay, to be serious, I'm not an idiot. I know that you must have your own plan. If it were me, I would have chosen the same. Although I'm a bit sorry for Teacher Lin, but I don't want to be a human bomb."
Besides, he had specially told Ye Xingzhou's secretary to give Lin Zhinian some mental damage compensation anyway, and the money was from Ye Xingzhou.
"But don't change the subject! I haven't finished settling the score with you." Qi Xing didn't forget his purpose because he was very serious about talking to Ye Xingzhou about this.
Ye Xingzhou nodded quickly: "Same, no next time."
Qi Xing: "That's your attitude?"
Ye Xingzhou's hand had already slipped into the hem of his bathrobe and touched him: "The score is settled. If you still have the energy, then don't sleep yet."
"Get out of here..."
Even though he cursed like that, after Ye Xingzhou touched him more and more, he was left only gasping for breath.
Holding Ye Xingzhou's head, Qi Xing closed his eyes and whispered a warning to him: "Ye Xingzhou, even if there is a next time, you have to take care of yourself. If something happens to you, I won't be a widow for you..."
Ye Xingzhou's answer was to lower his head and block his chattering mouth.
Ye Xingzhou's kiss was as domineering as ever. He kissed deeply while holding the person in his arms and his restless mind gradually calmed down.
He could protect Qi Xing.
This was not a promise to anyone else because it was something he was sure he could do.
Even if there was another time, he would still choose to do so.
But he was happy to take Qi Xing's worries and concerns to heart.
……..
The next morning, when Qi Xing opened his eyes, Ye Xingzhou was gone.
There was only him in the room.
Ye Xingzhou had left him a WeChat message, saying he was going out to take care of something and letting him play by himself.
Qi Xing got out of bed as he felt like he had forgotten something.
It wasn't until a stream of birthday greetings popped up on WeChat that he remembered.
According to the time in China, it was now 8 am.
His birthday.
"..."
Did Ye Xingzhou forget or was he doing it on purpose?
"When are you coming back?"
"I don't know. So, play by yourself first. Let someone follow you and don't run around recklessly."
"Oh."
After sending these few messages to Ye Xingzhou, Qi Xing put away his phone and didn't plan to reply anymore.
‘Come back if you want to! Don't come back if you don't want to!’
After breakfast, he went downstairs to the casino to pass the time. He didn't go to the VIP room today and just played casually in the ordinary room.
But maybe he was distracted, or maybe his luck was really bad, he lost everything he played, even though he didn't bet much each time.
As a result, he lost nearly 100,000 chips in just over an hour.
He crossed his arms behind his head before lazily propped his legs on the chair and leaned back to reflect on whether he was unlucky in the casino but lucky in love.
As for the fact that he was lucky in the casino just two days ago, but had bad luck afterwards, it should be evened out.
Seeing him stand up, the head of the bodyguards behind him subconsciously asked, "Young Master Qi, aren't you playing anymore?"
"No more. I'm going to take a look outside."
He would keep losing if he played any longer. Besides, it was boring.
As he walked out of the casino door, Qi Xing looked back at the row of bodyguards behind him, which for him is slightly awkward: "Don't get too close to me, don't appear in my line of sight and I'll pretend you don't exist."
He waved his hand and went for a walk.
He didn't actually go far.
There was a church near the casino.
The one they saw when they passed by the auction house last time.
He wandered around and unconsciously walked over here.
The weather was good today as the sun was shining brightly, and there were more couples taking pictures outside the church than the other day.
Qi Xing stopped while squinting and looking up.
The spire of the church reflected a rainbow in the sunlight.
He took a picture casually and sent it to Ye Xingzhou.
As he exited WeChat, two young men came up to him and asked if he was Chinese. Qi Xing nodded casually, and the other party switched to Chinese and said: "We need a witness for our wedding, could you please help us? It'll only take ten minutes."
Qi Xing loved to join in on this kind of fun, and readily agreed.
As the couple made their vows and exchanged rings, he stood by and watched, and took pictures for them, all while feeling a little envious.
Ye Xingzhou's message came back: "Where is that?"
Qi Xing casually replied: "The Church nearby."
"What are you doing there?"
"Watching people get married. You can even just grab a random passerby on the street to be a witness and get married here. It's pretty easy and great."
"Great?"
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand."
This bastard just likes to play dumb.
What's so great about that? He wants to experience the joy of marriage!
The object doesn't have to be Ye Xingzhou. It's not like it matters who he plays with, anyway, it's not legal back home.
...Forget it.
Signing his name as a witness on the marriage license, Qi Xing casually asked, "Are you living here or are you on vacation?"
The couple explained that they were on vacation here and got married on a whim, so he curiously asked, "So, does it really matter if you get married or not?"
The couple smiled at each other and said, "If you think it's meaningful, then it's meaningful."
Qi Xing pondered over this for a moment and thought it made sense: "Congratulations then."
He then declined their invitation to dinner and only took a bag of wedding candy they had prepared.
As he walked out of the church, he saw the bodyguards still outside while watching him intently.
Qi Xing found it funny: "Relax. Everyone, have some candy to get some good fortune."
He poured out the wedding candy and gave each of the bodyguards one, and just left the last few in his pocket.
Ye Xingzhou came back in the evening.
Qi Xing was still sitting at an outdoor coffee stall across from the casino while staring blankly as he fed the pigeons with a piece of bread.
The car stopped by the road, and when he saw Ye Xingzhou get out of the car, he slightly tilted his head and looked at the man who seemed to have just returned from a long journey: "Where have you been all day?"
"Went to eat dinner." Ye Xingzhou didn't explain further.
They went to the top floor restaurant of the hotel.
After sitting down, Qi Xing took out the wedding candy that had been in his pocket all day and had softened a little. He peeled one off and motioned for Ye Xingzhou: "Open your mouth."
Ye Xingzhou glanced at the candy in his hand and probably a little disgusted.
Qi Xing looked dissatisfied: "Open your mouth when I tell you to."
He lazily leaned forward to cross the table and directly stuffed the candy into Ye Xingzhou's mouth.
Ye Xingzhou: "What kind of candy is this?"
Seeing him eat it, Qi Xing smiled triumphantly as he leaned back on the sofa: "Wedding candy. I got it by being a witness for someone today."
The waiter brought their dinner and Ye Xingzhou didn't say anything else and just motioned to Qi Xing: "Eat first."
Qi Xing was still a little uncomfortable: "Sugar Daddy, don't you feel like you've forgotten something?"
Ye Xingzhou asked him: "Are you in a hurry?"
Qi Xing held the fork and poked the noodles in his plate hard: "Forget it."
"Happy birthday." Ye Xingzhou said, "Is that enough?"
"Not enough." Qi Xing didn't even think about it.
He disappeared all day and just a "Happy birthday"?
But Ye Xingzhou didn't say anything else because he leisurely started eating his dinner.
Qi Xing angrily continued to poke the noodles with his fork.
After the meal, the last dessert was still not delivered. Qi Xing didn't want to pay attention to him, so he took out his phone and started playing games.
Ye Xingzhou leaned against the sofa with his one arm resting on the armrest and his fingers tapping lightly.
His gaze drifted to Qi Xing opposite him.
He didn't know when it started, that even if he didn't speak and just looked at Qi Xing, he could feel a deep interest that he had never felt for anyone or anything before.
The rock in his heart melted into magma.
Boiling and surging for only one person and constantly producing those bubbles of joy and sweetness, on which, one by one, fill his chest.
And this taste was addictive once tasted.
"What birthday wish do you have?"
When he heard this, Qi Xing looked up. Ye Xingzhou slightly raised his chin.
There was a birthday cake on the table in front of them as the waiter had just brought it over and lit the candles.
Qi Xing didn't want to say anything, but when he met Ye Xingzhou's eyes that were always fixed on him, he mumbled, "I hope you, you bastard, can be sweet-mouthed in the future."
He clapped his hands together before closing his eyes and quickly made a wish to the cake candles.
Actually, he wished to be single and married tomorrow.
Anyway, he wouldn't say it.
When he blew out the candles in one breath, Ye Xingzhou handed something over: "For you. A birthday present."
"What is this?" Qi Xing had already guessed when he saw the size of the box. He opened it and sure enough, it was a ring.
It was a plain band and very low-key.
He then noticed that Ye Xingzhou was wearing the same ring on his left ring finger.
But, a birthday present is a ring?
"What do you mean by this?" he asked.
Ye Xingzhou: "I said, birthday present."
It was a birthday present, so he couldn't refuse it.
‘This cunning bastard.’
Qi Xing quickly figured it out and casually put the ring on his finger.
It fit perfectly, so he shook his hand at Ye Xingzhou: "What does this mean?"
Ye Xingzhou seemed to deliberately pretend to be clueless and only reminded him: "Try the cake."
Qi Xing was so caught off guard that he almost choked.
‘This bastard.’
He picked up the fork again and reluctantly tasted a bite: "It's okay."
Actually, it tasted very good as it was better than any other desserts he had eaten in this hotel and the casino downstairs. Qi Xing's mind moved, and he blurted out, "You didn't order this cake from this hotel, did you?"
"No." Ye Xingzhou said calmly, "I flew to another city to pick it up."
Qi Xing was speechless.
He took off a decorative plaque from the cake. The back had the logo of the cake brand.
He opened his phone and searched it.
It was a century-old shop with only a few chain stores in a few cities. The nearest one was a three-hour flight from here.
"You disappeared all day just to buy this cake?"
Ye Xingzhou: "Are you satisfied now?"
Qi Xing: "..."
He was just joking but this guy actually flew back and forth half of America to buy him a birthday cake.
It was more exaggerated than running all over the city, and besides, running all over the city was fake but Ye Xingzhou actually flew for nearly eight hours today to buy this cake.
He sniffed because he really didn't know what to say.
He was really touched, but he also really felt that Ye Xingzhou had nothing better to do.
"That look on your face, are you about to cry from being moved?"
Ye Xingzhou's teasing in his eyes interrupted his emotions, Qi Xing broke down in three seconds: "Cry your ass off, you wish."
He said that, but he clearly had an appetite. The cake tasted even sweeter than before when he put it in his mouth.
Ye Xingzhou curled his lips and also picked up a fork.
As Qi Xing ate the cake, his thoughts wandered. His eyes fell on the man sitting opposite him and then linger on the ring on his finger: "Ye Xingzhou, do you want to marry me?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized what he had said. He froze for a moment, and when Ye Xingzhou looked back at him, he unconsciously blushed and said what he had said, so he simply continued boldly: "Do you want to?"
Ye Xingzhou asked him back: "Didn't you already take my ring?"
Qi Xing: "Isn't that a birthday present?"
"It's a wedding ring even if it's a birthday present. You've also received the dowry." Ye Xingzhou reminded him.
"What dowry?" Qi Xing asked, then realized, "That ruby?"
Ye Xingzhou: "You've already received it."
‘...He's really a cunning man.’
Qi Xing: "Then why don't you propose?"
Ye Xingzhou: "You already proposed just now."
Qi Xing was completely speechless.
Ye Xingzhou's logic was always impeccable. He would probably never be able to get the upper hand over this bastard in his life.
Listening to him grumbling in a low voice, Ye Xingzhou suddenly said: "Qi Xing, let's get married."
Qi Xing's voice paused as he looked at him in surprise: "...Are you serious?"
"Yes." Ye Xingzhou's expression was unusually serious and his tone was also rarely gentle, "If you want to then just simply nod, but if you don't want to, don't say anything."
This was too unfair.
Being stared at like this, Qi Xing couldn't think of anything for a moment that he almost instinctively nodded: "I want to."
Ye Xingzhou: "Good, then we'll get married.”

They will get married!!!!
