MLROCSHR Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Shock! The Rabbit Ate the Grass by Its Burrow

Sheng Shao Group.

Qi Luzhi and Lian Xun were in the huge Office, staring at each other.

“What is Li Yang up to? So mysterious, rushing us back, but not saying what it’s about. Fine, we’re back, but he’s nowhere to be seen!”

Lian Xun stood in front of Qi Luzhi’s desk, hands in his pockets, his face full of impatience.

He looked around, as if Li Yang would suddenly pop out from some corner.

After receiving Li Yang’s call, the two of them took a flight back to Xuan Cheng overnight. They went home, quickly washed up, changed clothes, and rushed to the company, not even having time to sleep.

Who would have thought that after waiting at the company until noon, they hadn’t even seen a strand of Li Yang’s hair.

Asking Feng Nuo, she didn’t know where he had gone either.

“He wouldn’t have been kidnapped, would he?” Lian Xun said with a start.

Qi Luzhi raised his eyelids and gave Lian Xun an annoyed look. “Have you been watching too many movies?”

Lian Xun pouted. “Can’t you tell I’m joking? No fun at all. I’ll go get busy; I don’t want to just sit here and wait.”

Qi Luzhi nodded.

After Lian Xun left, Qi Luzhi took out his phone, glanced at it, and then couldn’t bear to look anymore, averting his gaze.

This Li Yang, he really underestimated him before!

The lit-up screen clearly showed a message, sent by Li Yang.

[What do I do, what do I do, Qi, you have to help me!]

After Qi Luzhi figured out what had happened, he only gritted his teeth and replied with two words.

[Serves! You! Right!]

At the same time, Lian Xun returned to his Office and discovered that Ling Yu hadn’t come to work today.

He was a little puzzled. Normally, this kid Ling Yu was always the first one here, rain or shine, so why was he absent today?

Lian Xun picked up his phone and called Ling Yu.

“Was the bed too comfortable last night, making you unwilling to leave?

Or was the moon too captivating, making you forget you had to come to work today?

Or do you think our company’s time clock is just for decoration?”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then Ling Yu’s voice slowly came through, tinged with sobs.

“Boss, I want to resign!”

Lian Xun was immediately dumbfounded. Was he that harsh?

“Don’t…don’t do that, I was just joking.”

Ling Yu cried even harder on the phone. “I haven’t even had a girlfriend yet, and my parents are still waiting to hold their grandson, but now all of that, I can only wait until the next life to realize it…”

Lian Xun was increasingly dumbfounded, his heart rising and falling.

Did his few words… drive an employee… to want to commit suicide?

That couldn’t be!

“Ling Yu, wait, don’t cry, I know I was a little harsh just now, I apologize to you.” Lian Xun tried to make his tone sound as calm as possible.

Ling Yu sniffled twice. “It’s…it’s not your fault, Boss. I can’t come to work today, oh no, I mean, I can’t come to work ever again, I’m sorry, Boss.”

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Lian Xun’s mind was buzzing; he had already imagined many tragic scenes.

After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly got up and rushed out of the Office, heading towards Ling Yu’s home.

Half an hour later.

Lian Xun sat on the sofa in Ling Yu’s home, looking at Ling Yu, whose eyes were red, and Li Yang, who looked guilty, and seriously wondered if he had traveled to another parallel universe.

That’s right, Li Yang, who had been missing all this time, was actually at Ling Yu’s house!

How outrageous.

“So, I was only gone for two days, and you, slept with him?”

Lian Xun pointed at Li Yang, then pointed at Ling Yu.

Had he traveled through time, or how could there be something so outrageous in the real world?

Being slept with by a man was too big a blow to Ling Yu, the Straight Man. After waking up, he ran to the roof with an emo mood, wanting to calm down. Li Yang thought he was going to kill himself, and spent the whole day coaxing him.

Ling Yu didn’t say anything, just kept crying.

Li Yang panicked.

He was more than capable of dealing with those clients in the business world, but as a bachelor who had been single since birth, he was completely clueless when it came to this kind of thing, and he was truly at a loss.

That’s why he called Qi Luzhi for help.

“I already said I didn’t want to kill myself, but Li… President Li insisted on not believing me and is just staying at my house.” Ling Yu glanced at Li Yang beside him, his teary eyes still filled with fresh tears.

“You kept crying, how could I leave?” Li Yang’s tone was slightly helpless.

It was the first time Lian Xun had seen President Li looking like this, like a big dog who had done something wrong.

So funny!

But Ling Yu was crying so miserably that he really couldn’t laugh out loud.

Lian Xun coughed lightly, stood up, walked to Ling Yu’s side, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: “It’s okay, just think of it as being bitten by a dog, what’s the big deal for a real man.”

Li Yang almost jumped up when he heard Lian Xun compare him to a dog, but the next second he saw Ling Yu’s face and turned his head away in a deflated manner.

“I…I…”

Ling Yu seemed to have something to say, but he was too embarrassed to speak with Li Yang present.

Lian Xun keenly noticed this, and used the excuse of wanting to talk to Ling Yu alone to take him to the Bedroom, leaving Li Yang alone outside.

“Say what you want to say, what’s with all the crying?” Lian Xun stuffed a pack of tissues from the bedside table into Ling Yu’s arms.

“I can’t control it, waaah…”

Not only did Ling Yu not stop, but he cried even louder.

Lian Xun sighed and frowned as he asked, “Is being slept with by that Li Yang really that hard for you to accept?”

Ling Yu shook his head.

“No, I just can’t accept…I, I think I’m starting to like him…”

“Waaaaah… How can I like him? I’m a Straight Man!”

Ling Yu broke down and cried, letting out a desperate wail.

“!!!”

“Huh?”

Lian Xun was stunned. “Wait, who did you say you liked?”

He thought he was hallucinating, Ling Yu actually said he liked Li Yang!

“Boss, what should I do, waaaah… Now… I just feel so sad whenever I see him, I just… I just want to cry, I really can’t go to work at the company anymore, I’m sorry.”

Lian Xun came back to his senses and quickly comforted him, “No, no, it’s okay. I’ll give you a long vacation, it’s not too late to come back to work after you’ve rested.”

Alas, he was just a newly graduated kid who had been a Straight Man for twenty-odd years, and suddenly found out that he had turned gay; it was indeed difficult to accept.

Lian Xun comforted him for a long time, and Ling Yu’s emotions finally stabilized. He once again instructed Ling Yu to rest well and not to overthink things, and then angrily went to the Living Room to find the culprit, Li Yang, to settle the score.

“You bastard, Li, you owe me a cheerful and sunny Assistant. Rabbits don’t even eat the grass by their burrows, yet you dared to make a move on my Assistant!”

Lian Xun grabbed Li Yang’s collar and warned, “Don’t you dare appear in front of Ling Yu again, the Assistant said, he doesn’t! Want! To! See! You!”

A hurt look flashed in Li Yang’s eyes, and his tone was low. “I understand. Seeing him cry, I don’t know why, but my heart also feels like it’s being stabbed with needles.”

“Serves you right.”

Lian Xun said, releasing his grip on his collar. “Hey, why were you in such a hurry to call Qi Luzhi back, but then didn’t tell him what happened?”

Li Yang straightened his Tie and glanced at Lian Xun. “I told him, and he replied with two words, ‘Serves you right!'”

Lian Xun was stunned for a moment.

“You Qi Luzhi, you knew everything, but you didn’t tell me!”

An inexplicable unpleasant feeling arose in his heart.

It was getting late, and Lian Xun said goodbye to Ling Yu, taking Li Yang, who was unwilling to leave, with him.

Back at the Villa, Lian Xun was just about to question Qi Luzhi why he knew about Li Yang’s matter but didn’t tell him when his gaze suddenly fell on a pair of unfamiliar white sneakers at the door.

Those were clearly a woman’s shoes!
