He followed Qi Jinran into the car awkwardly. Fortunately, Qi Jinran always keeps a sweater and coat in the car. He chose a navy blue knee-length double-breasted coat and put it on, which made him look taller.

Wen Yuan was a little surprised when he saw the car driving towards a familiar route.

Isn’t this the way back home? Could it be that Yu Heng also…

Qi Jinran seemed to see what he was thinking, and said lightly, “You guessed it right. Yu Heng also moved to Shuixieju, he’s now our neighbor.”

“Why did he suddenly move?” Wen Yuan was puzzled.

“He doesn’t like living in the main house of the Yu family, so he moved out because he wanted to find a cleaner place.”

Wen Yuan didn’t know much about Yu Heng, and only knew from Qi Jinran that Yu Heng had a bad relationship with the family. Yu Heng’s father was romantic outside and had several illegitimate children. Yu Heng hated his father so much that he even tried to cut off the father-son relationship with him.

“Then does he live alone?”

Shuixieju residences are all large villas with courtyards, some with woods and lakes, and each residence covers a wide area. Wen Yuan didn’t have to think about it to know how deserted it would be to live in such a big house alone.

“Well, he doesn’t have a family, of course he lives alone.” Qi Jinran tilted his head to look at Wen Yuan with a subtle expression.

“Are you still worried that he lives alone?”

Wen Yuan always felt that Qi Jinran’s tone was strange when he said these words. He didn’t think about it, and nodded. “Yes, I think he is a good person, and good-looking. He shouldn’t be single, right?”

Qi Jinran snorted coldly. “You’ve only met him a few times, and already know he’s good?”

Wen Yuan wanted to argue with him, but the car stopped, and the driver’s respectful voice came from the front.

“Mr. Qi, Mr. Wen, we’ve arrived.”

“Little sister-in-law, a honored guest.” Yu Heng stood on the steps and greeted the two with a smile.

“Jinran, is your grandfather alright?” He also heard the news that Qi Donghui was hospitalized.

“He’s alright, the sudden high blood pressure has stabilized, and now he’s recuperating in the hospital.” Qi Jinran handed over the red wine in his hand, “Congratulations on the new house.”

Yu Heng led the two of them in. Compared with Qi Jinran’s house, Yu Heng’s house was obviously much more ornately decorated, with brilliant crystal chandeliers, precious art ornaments, and racing car models everywhere.

“Want to have coffee or tea, or… let’s have some wine?” Yu Heng entertained them at the bar.

“I’ll just drink tea.” Wen Yuan couldn’t help but turn around and spin in the high chair.

The three sat down and chatted for a while, when the doorbell rang suddenly outside. Yu Heng’s peach blossom eyes narrowed in displeasure, and lazily pressed the call button on the phone to control the system.

“Who is it?”

“Yu Heng, can you give me the jade necklace you took?” A deep male voice sounded from the other end.

Wen Yuan had doubts in his eyes, and looked at Yu Heng behind the bar.

“Luo Haoxin, are you f*cking haunting me? Even bargaining with me for Ning Shu’s sake?” Yu Heng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled wickedly. “But I just don’t like this kind of beauty. Save it!”

The man on the other end said calmly, “I can exchange it with you for something more expensive. You let me in first, and we can talk face to face.”

“Tsk.” Yu Heng glanced at Qi Jinran.

“Jinran, do you think I should let him in?”

Qi Jinran took a sip of tea and said lightly, “Let’s listen to his conditions.”

“Okay, it’s for your sake.” Yu Heng unlocked the door. After a while, a tall and handsome man walked in from the living room.

Luo Haoxin thought that Yu Heng was at home alone, so he insisted on coming in. It was not until he saw Qi Jinran and Wen Yuan that he realized that he seemed to have come at the wrong time.

“Mr. Qi, it’s been a long time.” Luo Haoxin reluctantly smiled at Qi Jinran.

Qi Jinran nodded slightly, and said hello. The two met several times at the Wancheng Chamber of Commerce. Luo Haoxin started an e-commerce business. His company has developed very rapidly in the past two years, and he can be considered a rising star in Wancheng’s business community.

“If you have anything to say, just say it here.” Yu Heng held the glass and looked at him casually.

“What are you talking about that is more expensive?”

He participated in an auction a few days ago. The final competition item was an jade necklace from the Republic of China. Ning Shu was also present at the time. He originally wanted it as a birthday present for Mother Ning, and didn’t expect Yu Heng to step in and take the necklace at a high price. He was so angry that he jumped up, but there was nothing he could do. He complained to Luo Haoxin, and Luo Haoxin hated to see him aggrieved the most, so he came to find Yu Heng immediately.

“This.” Luo Haoxin took out a black velvet satin box from his coat. When he opened the box, Wen Yuan couldn’t help but let out a soft cry.

A perfectly faceted pink diamond the size of a pigeon egg shone brightly against a black cushion.

“This is a rare pink diamond from South Africa. It’s three times the value of your necklace. I’ll trade you for it, okay?”

Luo Haoxin knew that he was ridiculous in Yu Heng’s eyes, but he had no other way. Ning Shu’s attitude finally softened towards him recently. After two years of hard work, he finally saw some light. If he doesn’t seize this rare opportunity this time, his two years of hard work will be in vain.

Not to mention Wen Yuan’s surprised expression, even Qi Jinran raised his eyelashes after seeing the huge pink diamond.

“Luo Haoxin, is it worth it?”

Yu Heng put down his glass, stood up, and looked at the serious-looking man as if he were watching an alien.

“What kind of drug did that Ning Shu give you, for you to dedicate yourself like this to him?”

“This is my private matter, I’m afraid I can’t comment.” Luo Hao’s handsome face was tense, and his eyes did not blink as he watched Yu Heng.

“Just say, will you exchange or not.”

“Let me think about it… This condition is really exciting.” Yu Heng hugged his arm and carefully looked at the pink diamond in his hand. Luo Haoxin thought he was moved, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes, but the next moment, Yu Heng straightened up and looked at him with a smile.

“Unfortunately, this condition is not attractive enough for me.”

Luo Haoxin looked like he was punched in the face, and his whole face showed a gray look of defeat.

“Then… what do you want?”

Yu Heng touched his chin, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Luo Haoxin from the bottom up.

“Well, if you sleep with me for one night, I can consider it.”

Hearing Yu Heng’s words, Wen Yuan almost spit out the tea in his mouth. He swallowed the warm tea in his mouth with difficulty and looked at Luo Haoxin.

Luo Haoxin had never been so humiliated, and his face turned the color of pig’s liver. Putting away the box, his face changed colors of the rainbow – embarrassment, humiliation, and so on.

Watching his leaving back, Yu Heng felt quite bored.

“Such a serious person, can’t afford a joke at all.”

After watching such a big play, the shock in Wen Yuan’s eyes had not faded away after he left Yu Heng’s house.

Qi Jinran glanced at his face, “Do you still think Yu Heng is a good person?”

Wen Yuan shook his head.

In fact, he felt that Luo Haoxin was quite pitiful for doing all this for Ning Shu, not knowing if he would look at him more. As for Yu Heng, this guy is horrible for teasing people.

Back at the villa, as soon as he entered his bedroom, Wen Yuan found that the sheets and quilts in the room were gone. How could he sleep like this?

“Sister Xue probably took them to wash today, and it hasn’t dried yet.”

Qi Jinran passed by without changing his face.

“Then I’ll go to the second floor—”

“The bed sheets of the guest bedroom have also been washed, and there are no beds.” Qi Jinran looked serious.

Then didn’t he have to go to Qi Jinran’s room to sleep? But the two of them hadn’t slept in the same bed for several days, and it was really embarrassing to suddenly go to his place.

Just as Wen Yuan was struggling, Qi Jinran’s low voice sounded.

“Your carrot pillow is in my room, come and sleep.”

After he said that, he entered the bedroom.

Wen Yuan imagined Qi Jinran holding his naive carrot pillow with an ice cube face… No, I can’t imagine it!

Well, in order to hold the pillow, he had to go in and sleep.

Wen Yuan dawdled after taking a bath before going to bed and laying down.

As soon as the lights were turned off, a breath approached behind him.

Wen Yuan was inexplicably nervous. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up, and he could clearly feel Qi Jinran’s breathing gradually becoming heavier, spilling on the skin on the back of his neck, feeling extremely hot.

“Xiao Yuan.” Qi Jinran’s low, hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

“Come back to sleep in the future, okay? I’ll let the driver pick you up.”

 

Sooo… who expected YH to say that? Raise your hands it you were blindsided like I was. ‍️
