Saving the overbearing CEO - Chapter 517
At the time she assumed he had fallen in love with some girl in his circle and brushed it off. Who would have thought he had bought it for a boy? And that boy was now a man and wearing that necklace.
When he heard this one could have easily knocked him down with a feather. That’s how surprised he was. His brother had said it but how could that be? He was a weirdo in high school so what part of him attracted Qie Ranzhe when they barely exchanged words? This was too petrifying.
Dai Lee seemed to notice something was up. “Wait…. you didn’t know?….. Really?” she said but before she could get an answer from him, Qie Ranzhe suddenly walked in and joined their table in a few strides.
“Mom,” he said startling Dai Lee so much that she held her chest trying to calm her palpitating heart.
Like a kid caught stealing milk powder she stammered, “How di-did you… oh, how low,” she said as her head slowly turned to look at her assistant hiding behind a menu, “I will deal with you later.” The frightened assistant shrank further into the menu secretly lighting a candle for himself.
“No, don’t threaten him. He did the right thing by snitching,” he said before placing his hand on Wen Qinxi’s shoulder intending to take him away, “Are you okay? Did she hurt you? Come let’s go back.”
Dai Lee, “….”
“Is he porcelain that would break by having lunch with me? He’s fine,” she explained realising something. Her son was most likely a henpecked husband from what she could see.
Wen Qinxi was too dumbstruck to utter a word. What else was Qie Ranzhe hiding from him? What Machu said about him not getting kicked out of Flagship now made sense. This man had a tonne of things he was concealing from him.
“Mom don’t make trouble. I will call you later,” he said dragging his lover out of the restaurant by the wrist. He opened the car door and buckled Wen Qinxi’s seat belt as soon as he sat down. The two of them didn’t say anything but their eyes held so many emotions that would gush out at any moment.
Qie Ranzhe closed the car door and strode over to the driver’s side before speeding off into traffic. As soon as they arrived at the apartment, Wen Qinxi planned on going to the fridge, open a can of beer before interrogating this man but his arm was suddenly pulled driving him straight into Qie Ranzhe’s chest.
He didn’t even have enough time to react before he was pressed against the wall and kissed fiercely as though Qie Ranzhe planned on eating him up. Like a beast in heat, Qie Ranzhe grasped Wen Qinxi’s waist deepening the kiss. His movements were frantic and tyrannical like he was trying to achieve something.
In fact, he didn’t know what his mother said to Wen Qinxi. The man was silent the entire way home as though contemplating something. Fearing Wen Qinxi would dump him because of his mother’s words he decided to delay the inevitable by kissing him. This kiss was meant to convey his feelings to the love of his life but it ended up expressing his grievances and insecurities.
If this passionate kiss was translated into words it would be saying words like you are mine, you can’t leave me and I can’t be without you. Wen Qinxi could feel some of these emotions but didn’t know how to soothe him. He could only rub Qie Ranzhe’s nape otherwise he might get eaten right here.
This action seemed to work because Qie Ranzhe’s kisses became lighter and caresses gentler. He parted his lips from Wen Qinxi’s and pressed their foreheads together while stroking his waist. His hot breath brushed against Wen Qinxi’s face making his flushed face a deeper shade of red. Their hearts were beating in sync with the atmosphere brimming with tender affections.
“Don’t leave me….. Don’t, don’t listen to her, okay? I…,” he said not sure how to ask him to stay without sounding desperate. He could finally be with the person he loved and wouldn’t let go even if it kills him.
Wen Qinxi who had been kissed breathless a moment ago raised his head in confusion. “Who is leaving? Laozi got fuckin bent by you so why would I leave? In fact, you have to take full responsibility and I am not going anywhere,” he said before walking over to the kitchen mumbling, “Seriously, you just love getting me all worked up.”
Qie Ranzhe could hear the sounds of the fridge door being slammed followed by the bottom cupboard being manhandled and kicked shut afterwards. It looked like his words had angered his firecracker of a boyfriend.
He wanted to enter the kitchen and coax him but he met Wen Qinxi by the door holding a six-pack and packets of snacks with a cracker in his mouth. “Order dinner while you are at it,” said Wen Qinxi before slumping on the couch.
Qie Ranzhe, “….”
One might ask how do you coax a firecracker? Well, let this CEO teach you the right way to coax your lover unless they’re Aries then this might not work for your situation. With that in mind, please be advised that terms and conditions apply.
First, bend down and take their shoes off and put slippers on their feet so they don’t have to stand up and do it themselves. Wen Qinxi was upset just now and didn’t change his shoes so Qie Ranzhe being the good boyfriend brought over his slippers and just like Cinderella’s prince he knelt on one knee and changed Wen Qinxi’s shoes.
Two, order their favourite meal and you must be certain it’s their favourite otherwise you will unintentionally escalate the fight. When the meal box arrives write ‘I am sorry’ on the lid of the box and ‘please forgive me’ on the beverage bottle. Learn from Starbucks, that shit works unless if the situation is hopeless. This is exactly what this CEO did and sure enough, his sweetheart warned up a little.
The last move would be feeding them which is what this CEO did earning him the opportunity to present his case. And thus the two of them approached the let’s talk about it stage. But just as they were about to open up and talk things out the door was suddenly opened with Wen Danzhe dashing in like a superhero ready to save the day.
Because he was running, he was panting while bending down to catch his breath. As soon as he raised his head to speak he saw Qie Ranzhe cosied up to his brother like he owned the place. “You!…,” he yelled pointing at Qie Ranzhe.
Will Wen Danzhe pick a fight with the CEO and throw him out… or will he disrupt their night by sleeping over? Stay tuned for another epic match, brother’s boyfriend vs brother in law. Who would get their way in the end?
