After Marrying the Wealthy Disabled Tyrant - Chapter 18
Wen Yuan never thought that Qi Jinran would apologize to him.
Obviously he was cheeky and grabbed the legs of his trousers first…
“No, no, it’s me who offended you. Doing that kind of thing to someone you don’t like will definitely make you feel sick… I should apologize to you.”
“Sorry for making you so embarrassed.”
Wen Yuan’s face was full of guilt.
Qi Jinran was silent for a few seconds, looking at the eucalyptus in the glass bottle on the table.
“I don’t feel sick.”
“Huh?” Wen Yuan looked at him in surprise.
Qi Jinran’s pale face was slightly red, and her eyelashes were lowered uncomfortably.
“Let’s eat, and I won’t mention this in the future.”
“Oh, good.”
After dinner, the two returned to Shuixieju together.
Lying on the bed, Wen Yuan couldn’t sleep.
A few nights ago, when Qi Jinran was away, his heart was empty, and he always felt that something was missing. Now that Qi Jinran was back, he realized that he was probably used to the presence of men, so he was so lost after not seeing him for a few days.
But it seems that it’s not just a habit. Thinking of the man sleeping next to him, and seeing him when he wakes up tomorrow, Wen Yuan’s heart is warm, and he feels relieved and happy like never before.
Wen Yuan felt that something was wrong.
He got out of bed, put on his pajamas, put on a coat, and went to the balcony.
After returning home, Qi Jinran went into the study to work. Wen Yuan actually wanted to talk to him, but it was terrifying to disturb him, so he held back.
Even if Qi Jinran was at home, the number of times the two met was pitiful. Wen Yuan didn’t feel anything in the past, but recently it seems to be more and more unbearable.
He was so kind and caring to him in front of outsiders, why was he a completely different person when he got home?
What if his tenderness to himself wasn’t a show…
Startled to realize what he was thinking, Wen Yuan widened his eyes and tapped his forehead hard.
Wen Xiaoyuan, are you crazy? This is a commercial marriage, you still signed a prenuptial agreement, how can you be interested in the marriage partner?
But…
In his mind, he ran through the bits and pieces of getting along with Qi Jinran these days, and he realized more and more clearly that Qi Jinran was only cold on the outside, but he was extraordinarily kind and gentle in his heart.
Such a good man, but God is so cruel to him…
stab.
Wen Yuan suddenly heard the sound of the glass door being pulled open.
He followed the source of the sound and found Qi Jinran standing there on the balcony next door.
The eyes of the two met, and it was a little unnatural.
“You… can’t sleep either?” Wen Yuan saw that he was only wearing a thin nightgown and couldn’t help but said, “You wear so little, what should I do if I catch a cold?”
“It’s okay, I’ll be in in a while.”
Qi Jinran sat down on the rattan chair and glanced in Wenyuan’s direction.
“Now that our relationship is completely public, do you still want to continue your internship at BV’s hotel?”
Wen Yuan was not prepared for his sudden and straightforward question, and looked a little hesitant.
Indeed, with his current embarrassing status, if he continues to rotate in BV, he will inevitably be discussed and questioned by other employees.
“Would you like to try and do something you really enjoy and are good at, like…baking?”
Hearing Qi Jinran’s words, Wen Yuan was taken aback.
“how do you know…”
“I have read all your weekly reports. I heard that when you were rotating in the catering department, you were praised by the executive chef, saying that you are very talented.”
God, Qi Jinran has read the weekly report he handed over to his superiors, isn’t that what he does every day, Qi Jinran knows all about it?
The big boss of the company is also his fiancé. This kind of experience is really not an ordinary sour experience.
“Uh… Okay, I’m just helping them out.” Wen Yuan was embarrassed.
“BV has always cooperated with Le Cordon Bleu International College in France. If you want, you can try it in there.”
French blue belt? This is the most prestigious cooking school in the world, the No. 1 brand in the pastry industry, if you can go there to exercise…
“But if I go abroad before I graduate—”
Qi Jinran chuckled lightly: “I didn’t let you go abroad. Blue Ribbon also has a branch in China, and there is one in Wancheng.”
“Really?” Wen Yuan’s eyes lit up.
Qi Jinran nodded, looking at him with deep black eyes, like an adult seducing a child with sweet candy.
“Want to go?”
Wen Yuan nodded quickly, suddenly thought of something, and looked hesitant.
“But if my dad finds out, he will definitely say I’m useless again…”
Qi Jinran smiled and said meaningfully: “Haven’t you been an intern at BV? Why did he say you?”
When Wen Yuan met his eyes with deep meaning, he immediately understood.
“That’s right, going to Le Cordon Bleu is also a BV internship program, I understand I understand.”
Back in the bedroom, Wen Yuan looked at the ceiling in the dark, and couldn’t sleep anymore.
Qi Jinran understands him better than anyone, obviously they have only known each other for two months…
The next day, Wen Yuan got up early and went to the kitchen on the third floor to make croissants.
It has become his exclusive bakery, and there is a sweet aroma everywhere.
When Qi Jinran went downstairs, Wen Yuan just finished making breakfast. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, the croissants are paired with freshly brewed hot coffee and are especially pleasing to the eye on a light blue tablecloth.
“Jin Ran, can you taste it and see if it tastes good?”
Wen Yuan looked at him expectantly, if a tail could grow behind him, he would have been wagging long ago.
Small puppy.
These three words popped up in Qi Jinran’s mind, and the apex of his heart collapsed a bit. He picked up the croissant and took a bite. The skin was crispy and tender, and the inside was covered with a rich chocolate filling. It was full of sweetness at the same time… but also a little hot.
“Delicious.” Qi Jinran gave the highest evaluation so far.
Wen Yuan was happier to be praised by him than to be praised by the chef.
“If you like it, I’ll make it for you every day.”
Wen Yuan didn’t realize what he had said until he saw Qi Jinran’s somewhat startled eyes.
“Uh, that’s not what I meant… I mean, I can make it for you whenever you want to eat it, not every day, but occasionally…”
Wen Yuan felt that the more he explained, the worse it became.
Qi Jinran smiled.
“I understand. Besides, after you hand over at the BV today, go buy a suit for the banquet.”
“Why?” Wen Yuan was puzzled.
“There will be a charity reception tomorrow. I agreed to someone else’s invitation to bring my partner to attend.”
After being engaged for so long, Wen Yuan had never participated in any public activities with Qi Jinran, so when he heard what he said, he suddenly became nervous.
“Then what do I need to pay attention to? In addition to clothing, do you need to change your hairstyle…”
He was worried that standing beside Qi Jinran would be too dwarfed.
“No, this is a cocktail party hosted by a friend, just relax.”
That being said, when Wen Yuan took Ji Hong to buy a suit for him in the afternoon, he still kept thinking about it.
“This set is too serious, like attending a funeral…”
“This can’t be done, I’m not going to get married, it’s too strange…”
“There are too many patterns, like rap singers, forget it.”
Ji Hong was so annoyed by him that he lay down on the chair in the lounge.
“Big brother, I’ve convinced you. You are plastic husbands anyway, just acting outside. Are you so picky about a suit?”
Wen Yuan’s action of tying his tie stopped.
Ji Hong sat up and squinted at him.
“I said, Wen Xiaoyuan, are you… in love with Qi Jinran?”
Wen Yuan’s face instantly turned red.
His tie-tie movement became flustered, and he denied, “No, you’re overthinking it.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, why do I think you are duplicitous.”
Ji Hong leaned in front of him and carefully observed Wen Yuan’s face. Wen Yuan didn’t want him to see his blushing face, so he lowered his head quickly, Ji Hong also bent down, tilted his head obsessively to look at him, and was so angry that Wen Yuan slapped him in the face.
“Ji Hong!”
“Okay, okay, don’t like it if you don’t like it.”
Ji Hong spread his hands in a gesture of surrender.
“Then quickly pick one, I’m starving and want to eat.”
Saturday.
A rare sunny day, the sky is cloudless, blue and clear.
Wen Yuan sat in the car and took several deep breaths before following Qi Jinran out of the car.
There was a red carpet at the entrance of the banquet hall, and the media took pictures on both sides. Wen Yuan never thought it would be such a big stance, he followed closely behind Qi Jin, never leaving, like a newborn chick.
All the celebrities who attended the reception were celebrities from all walks of life in Wancheng, and Wen Yuan didn’t know any of them. He watched every passing guest greet Qi Jinran, and became more and more aware of the heaven-defying influence the Qi family had in Wancheng.
“Jin Ran, it’s time to wait for you.”
A laughing voice came from behind the two of them, Wen Yuan turned around, and saw a tall and slender man in a suit with a lazy smile on his face walking towards them.
The man was born with a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, with thick and curled eyelashes. He held champagne, looked up and down at Wen Yuan next to Qi Jinran, and said with a smile, “Sure enough, the real person is more handsome than the video.”
“Yu Heng, the CEO of Hengguang Capital, is also a friend of mine.” Qi Jinran introduced Wen Yuan casually.
Wen Yuan smiled at Yu Heng: “Hello.”
Listening to Yu Heng’s tone, have you seen his playing and singing video on Weibo?
“Are you used to living with this big ice cube?” Yu Heng blinked.
It took Wen Yuan a long time to realize that the “big ice cube” he was talking about was Qi Jinran, and he smiled embarrassedly: “Jinran… He’s actually a nice person, and I don’t have anything unaccustomed to.”
Yu Heng looked at Wen Yuan’s serious appearance and wanted to tease him a little.
“I heard that you are a management trainee in BV, and you have to go to the hotel to rotate. How tiring. If you don’t come to Hengguang, I will give you three times the annual salary-“
“Yu, Heng.” Qi Jinran’s face turned blue.
“Ah, I forgot, BV belongs to Qi’s family, this guy will definitely not agree to me poaching you.” Yu Heng smiled and hugged Qi Jinran’s shoulders, regretting: “Unfortunately, it’s a pity that T graduates, Hengguang is one year old. Not many will come.”
Qi Jinran patted his hand away.
“Don’t you want to inject capital into the project of Nanbian Tourism Village? We are just discussing it today.”
“I knew you were going to talk business.” Yu Heng sighed and looked at Wen Yuan.
“I’m sorry, I have to borrow your fiancé. You can go inside and play, there is everything to eat and drink.”
“Well, you are busy.”
Of course Wen Yuan wouldn’t bother Qi Jinran, he knew that he was here just to stand as a person, with no real use. No one here knows him anyway, so just go to the dining table to eat.
Looking at the various exquisite small cakes and Chinese desserts on the table, Wen Yuan swallowed and just picked up a piece of Mont Blanc and put it on the plate, when he heard a commotion at the door, followed by the constant sound of the shutter.
Is there really a star coming?
Wen Yuan was a little curious, and when he looked at the door, he saw a glamorous woman in a red dress with an open back and big wavy curly hair walking in. Wen Yuan occasionally watches TV, remembering that this female star seems to be the queen of ratings, and her popularity has been very high recently.
However, what shocked Wen Yuan even more was the young man in a suit beside the woman, with that handsome and gentle face, wasn’t it Zhou Yunqing or who?
Noticing that the two seemed to be coming this way, Wen Yuan hurriedly turned around holding a plate and walked to the inner corridor.
“Sister Su, I saw an acquaintance and wanted to go over and say hello.”
Zhou Yunqing watched the familiar figure get farther and farther away, anxious in his heart, but his face remained calm.
“Go ahead, it just so happens that I want to talk to President Yu too.”
Su Lan stroked her long hair and walked gracefully to the other side.
Wen Yuan walked to the very end of the corridor, where the light was dim, it was deserted and empty, and there were no guests.
He was a little at ease. After eating the Mont Blanc on the plate, he was hesitating whether to go back and get the drink when a voice sounded behind him.
“Xiaoyuan, long time no see.”
Wen Yuan clenched the empty plate in his hand.
When he hadn’t figured out how to face Zhou Yunqing, on the other side of the corridor, a tall and tall figure walked over quickly, and in an instant, he was pressed into his arms by the man.
“Why are you here? I can’t find you anywhere.”
Zhou Yunqing was startled when he stepped forward.
Qi Jinran put an arm around Wen Yuan’s shoulder and turned to look at him with a particularly cold expression.
“Mr. Zhou, are you following my fiancé?”
