MLROCSHR Chapter 24
by VolareChapter 24: Qi’s Mysterious Suitor
Having finished his shower, Lian Xun deliberately unbuttoned a few buttons of his pajamas, revealing his delicate collarbones and chest with attractively lean muscles, then went to Qi Luzhi’s bedroom door.
“Qi-gege, I accidentally spilled water on the bed, what should I do?” Lian Xun asked with an innocent expression.
Qi Luzhi looked up, just in time to see a drop of water falling from the tip of Lian Xun’s hair beside his ear, gliding across his neck and disappearing into the collar of his clothes.
His Adam’s apple bobbed twice, and Qi Luzhi suddenly felt a little parched, his gaze also becoming fervent.
The Lian Xun before him was like a tempting cream cake, making one unable to resist wanting to take a bite.
Qi Luzhi slowly walked towards Lian Xun.
Suddenly noticing the fleeting mischievous smile on Lian Xun’s face, Qi Luzhi’s eyes darkened, and he slowed his pace.
Reaching the door, he held the back of Lian Xun’s head with one hand, and with the other, pulled the person closer by the waist, landing an aggressive kiss on Lian Xun’s slightly parted lips.
Lian Xun’s waist went weak, and he practically leaned into Qi Luzhi’s embrace.
As if a long time had passed, just as Lian Xun felt like he couldn’t breathe, Qi Luzhi finally released him.
Lian Xun gasped for breath, looking at Qi Luzhi, who was also slightly panting, with dazed eyes.
The two stared at each other for a long time.
Qi Luzhi raised his hand to arrange Lian Xun’s open collar, re-buttoning it one by one, and said with concern, “Put your clothes on properly, be careful not to catch a cold.”
Then he added, “There are new sheets in the bedside cabinet of the guestroom you’re staying in, just change them.”
Lian Xun: “…”
This…
That’s it?
Shouldn’t he have grabbed his wrist and pinned him fiercely on the bed, angrily scolding him for only knowing how to seduce people, and then bullying him in this way and that until he couldn’t get out of bed tomorrow morning?
Seeing Lian Xun standing still, Qi Luzhi tilted his head almost imperceptibly, “What, waiting for me to change them for you?”
“No need for that.” Lian Xun waved his hand dejectedly.
What was wrong with Qi Luzhi today? He had already gone so far as to sell his looks, yet he remained unmoved. It wasn’t like this before.
“What are you standing there for? Go quickly.” Qi Luzhi urged.
Lian Xun glared at Qi Luzhi dissatisfied, “Hmph, you haven’t agreed to be my boyfriend and you’re still kissing me, that’s being a hooligan!”
Ling Yu was right, the person he liked was simply an irresponsible scumbag!
Lian Xun turned and left, Qi Luzhi tugged at his collar to release the pent-up frustration, and when he thought of Lian Xun’s sulky expression just now, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

Sheng Shao Group.
Recently, rumors had been spreading in the company that CEO Qi had a mysterious suitor, who would deliver a large bouquet of fresh flowers every morning at ten o’clock sharp, and never the same kind.
Roses today, lilies tomorrow, sunflowers the day after…
Even more shocking was that CEO Qi actually accepted them all and even had Secretary Feng buy vases specifically to display the flowers.
These past few days, the CEO’s Office was like a flower room, colorful and fragrant, a thriving scene.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere next door in the Xun Qi Technologies office was different.
In the afternoon, Lian Xun leaned lazily on his chair, pouring out his grievances to Ling Yu, “Ling Yu, tell me, why is pursuing someone so difficult?”
He had tried everything, but Qi Luzhi still wouldn’t budge. Was he really just toying with him?
Surely he wasn’t that bored, right?
“Boss, the person you like, you still haven’t won them over?” Ling Yu asked as he pulled a handful of sunflower seeds from his pocket and started cracking them.
“Not yet.” Lian Xun restlessly propped his legs on the desk and turned to ask Ling Yu, “Have you ever pursued someone? Give me some tips.”
Ling Yu swallowed, he was a lifelong bachelor, asking him for tips was just making things difficult.
But since the boss had spoken, he couldn’t say no.
“Um… Boss, I think the most important thing in pursuing someone is perseverance, letting the other person see your sincerity, your determination, your resolve that it has to be them!”
Ling Yu paused, then continued, “Like CEO Qi’s mysterious suitor recently, delivering flowers to CEO Qi on time every day. Although I don’t know who that suitor is, I think she will eventually capture CEO Qi’s icy heart.”
“Really?” Lian Xun glanced at Ling Yu suspiciously, “I don’t think it’s doing any good at all.”
“You’re not the one sending the flowers, how do you know it’s not working?” Ling Yu retorted, “Unless, Boss knows who CEO Qi’s suitor is?”
Lian Xun shifted his gaze, “How would I know.”
Hmph, he wouldn’t tell Ling Yu that he was the one sending the flowers!
“Think again, is there anything else I can do?”
Ling Yu thought for a moment and replied, “Boss, there are other methods, but… they might be… a little exaggerated.”
“Stop beating around the bush, just say it.” Lian Xun urged.
He didn’t care if it was exaggerated or not, as long as it worked!
“Alright then.”
Ling Yu cleared his throat and began to earnestly teach Lian Xun how to express his love in a fancy way to the person he liked.
Even if he hadn’t eaten pork, he’d seen pigs run, right? These were all the essences Ling Yu had learned from TV dramas, originally intended to be used on the person he liked in the future. Now that the boss needed them so much, he would reluctantly take out a little bit to teach him.
The next day.
The weather was particularly clear, and the Sheng Shao Group Building reflected the dazzling sunlight, shimmering brightly.
Suddenly, a few rose petals floated in through the office window on the thirty-second floor. A female employee sitting by the window picked up the petals curiously and looked at them for a few moments. Inadvertently looking out the window, she was stunned into silence, and the rose petals in her hand slowly drifted to the ground.
“You guys look!” The female employee pointed out the window, crying out in surprise.
Everyone followed the sound and looked over, then got up one after another and ran to the window, scrambling to look outside.
“Oh my god, this is too romantic, who is being so extravagant?”
“I’ve only seen scenes like this in novels, I didn’t expect to witness it with my own eyes in my lifetime.”
Outside the window in the high sky, two helicopters circled, scattering countless rose petals, as if raining a beautiful rose rain.
Thousands of pink and white hydrogen balloons slowly floated in the air, and in the middle was a huge heart-shaped balloon with what appeared to be words on it.
“Qi Luzhi, I want to spend the rest of my life with you!”
Someone saw the words on the balloon and read them aloud.
Another commotion broke out in the office.
“Wow, I’m really too curious, which wealthy family’s daughter has taken a fancy to our CEO Qi, their offensive has been fierce recently.”
“Let’s just say, is it possible that it’s a young master from some family?”
“Shut up, you’ve been reading too many BL novels.”
“No matter who she is, I really admire her, confessing in public, so brave, it’ll definitely be on the news tomorrow, front page headlines!”
“With this kind of formation, even a millennium-old iceberg should melt, right!”
“What if CEO Qi isn’t interested in her, wouldn’t she become Xuan Cheng’s biggest joke?”
Such a big commotion in the office naturally caught the attention of several high-level executives. Qi Luzhi followed the sound to the window and saw this exaggerated scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his temples throbbing.
He helplessly cast a questioning look at Lian Xun, who was standing not far away, but unexpectedly received a wink in return, and he even secretly made a heart shape with his hands in front of his chest for Qi Luzhi.
