Chapter 35: Playing Hard to Get

At 11:58 AM, Secretary Bai was counting down the minutes until lunch break at her desk when Qin Yuanging welcomed two unexpected guests into his office at Wansheng.

One was Jiang Muyuan, who walked with brisk strides in her 10-centimeter high heels.

The other was Sun Qihao, whose face was as long as a horse’s.

Secretary Bai mustered a smile with great effort, brewed two cups of instant coffee, poured them into delicate coffee cups, pretending it was freshly ground, and took them inside.

She discovered that her boss looked like a ghost today, with dark circles under his eyes and a weary expression.

Qin Yuanging glared at his unreliable secretary, feeling irritated, and waved him out.

“Didn’t you say you were on a business trip?”

Jiang Muyuan picked up a coffee cup, took an elegant sip, and pushed it aside with a look of distaste.

“I changed my itinerary temporarily, is that not allowed?”

Sun Qihao forced a smile, not in the mood to care about Jiang Muyuan, and instead questioned Qin Yuanging, “What did that phone call the other night mean?”

Qin Yuanging hadn’t expected Sun Qihao’s “interrogation” to coincide so perfectly with Jiang Muyuan’s presence.

These two didn’t get along well usually, and now that they held completely opposite views on the same matter, it was bound to be a mess.

Qin Yuanging folded his arms and replied calmly, “The literal meaning.”

Jiang Muyuan felt slightly guilty and didn’t dare to chime in.

Sun Qihao continued his barrage, “I think you’re suffering from delusions! I was afraid you’d gone crazy that day and kidnapped Li Chongge! He likes you? Do you really think that’s possible?”

“He purely treats you as a friend, don’t overinterpret it and be presumptuous. If you disgust him and he runs away, what will you do!”

Sun Qihao knew that Jiang Muyuan was aware of Qin Yuanging’s feelings long ago, so he didn’t bother to avoid her when saying these words.

Qin Yuanging’s straight spine slumped, and the mental preparation he had made in advance collapsed.

“I don’t think so,” Jiang Muyuan interrupted Sun Qihao’s harsh verbal attack. “If Yuanging thinks so, there must be a reason. You might as well listen to what he has to say first.”

Sun Qihao’s anger shifted to Jiang Muyuan.

“It’s all your fault! Qin Yuanging’s brain is broken, and so is yours!”

Jiang Muyuan, with her naturally fiery temper, stood up abruptly.

“Sun Qihao, are you done yet? Would you die if you didn’t talk?”

“I have a mouth, if I don’t talk, am I a mute?!”

After the two finally finished arguing, Qin Yuanging spoke, “I don’t have any solid evidence, it’s just a sudden feeling.”

Sun Qihao: “You felt wrong, feel again.”

Jiang Muyuan rolled her eyes at Sun Qihao and then stood up solemnly, a strange smile hanging on her lips. She said something that almost scared Qin Yuanging to death on the spot: “Li Chongge knows you like men. Yes, I told him.”

“Are you crazy!”

Sun Qihao was furious, glaring at Jiang Muyuan.

Qin Yuanging also glared, feeling shocked and heartbroken that Jiang Muyuan had betrayed him.

No wonder he wasn’t answering his calls or replying to his messages, he was feeling guilty!

Jiang Muyuan quickly tried to defend herself: “I only said you like men, I didn’t say you like Li Chongge. Tell me yourself, has Li Chongge’s attitude towards you changed after knowing this?”

Qin Yuanging shook his head. “No. What does that mean? Does it mean he’s not homophobic?”

“Holy crap!” Sun Qihao gasped and quickly realized. “He knew you like men and still slept in the same bed with you?”

“Slept in the same bed! When did this happen!”

“They went on vacation together a while ago, and they slept together for three nights!”

Only Qin Yuanging knew that they had spent more than just three nights together.

Qin Yuanging’s heart pounded, and he asked nervously, “What does this mean?”

Sun Qihao paused and gave a very appropriate example.

“You know Zhang Zhaolin likes men, right? Would you be willing to sleep in the same bed with him?”

Qin Yuanging shook his head quickly.

Sun Qihao stopped talking, and Jiang Muyuan took over.

“If he really likes you, what are you going to do?”

Qin Yuanging got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, squinting his eyes.

“Get him.”

“But I can’t be the one to make the first move.”

Sun Qihao was a playboy, and Jiang Muyuan was a veteran in love, Qin Yuanging believed he could gain inspiration from them.

Sun Qihao: “?”

Didn’t understand.

Jiang Muyuan: “!”

Understood perfectly!

“Okay, let’s go over it. Your current plan is to first confirm Li Chongge’s feelings, and then play hard to get, so he will pursue you, right?”

At this moment, Qin Yuanging looked at Jiang Muyuan with unprecedented fervor: “Yes, what should I do?”

The reason why Qin Yuanging had to plan this way was simply because he absolutely, absolutely dared not take that step without solid evidence.

Qin Yuanging could not accept losing Li Chongge.

At 12:20:38 PM, Jiang Muyuan’s lesson officially began.

“The easiest and most effective way to make a man see his own heart is to make him feel a sense of crisis.”

Sun Qihao answered quickly: “Make him jealous?”

“Yes, but I estimate that this trick won’t be very effective on Li Chongge. It’s not that it won’t work on him, but that he is too difficult to see through, and it won’t be obvious to Yuanging.”

Qin Yuanging, the person involved, personally confirmed it.

“Yes, that’s exactly right.”

Jiang Muyuan pressed her hands down, signaling Sun Qihao and Qin Yuanging not to rush.

“Li Chongge is the manliest of men, the elite of the elite. Playing tricks and schemes with him is like teaching a fish to swim.”

“But in the end, he is a man.”

It had to be said that Jiang Muyuan really had a way with men.

Qin Yuanging and Sun Qihao shook their heads together at the same frequency.

“So what about men?”

Jiang Muyuan glanced at Sun Qihao with disdain.

“A man’s mouth can lie, but his body won’t.”

Sun Qihao, as a playboy among playboys, a scumbag among scumbags, seriously refuted, “The body can’t prove anything.”

“It can’t prove anything to you, but Li Chongge is different from you ordinary people. If he were someone who could be easily swayed by desire, would he have been single for so many years with his status?”

Sun Qihao sat back down sullenly, annoyed, but had to admit that Jiang Muyuan had a point.

Qin Yuanging tapped on his desk, very humble and eager to learn. “We can put the personality analysis of Li Chongge aside for now. Please tell me directly, how should I implement it?”

Jiang Muyuan said emphatically: “Say some ambiguous things to make him guess, think, and miss you, physically seduce him and entice him, make him infatuated and unable to stop!”

Qin Yuanging pondered, hesitated for only half a second, and then nodded firmly.

Sun Qihao looked at Qin Yuanging, his mood very complicated.

He was really going all out!

But if Li Chongge really liked Qin Yuanging…

No wonder Li Chongge ignored him that night he introduced Yang Yanqing to Qin Yuanging!

So he was holding a grudge against him!
