TLSOTMTKOGAYWHTDI Chapter 48
by VolareChapter 46: Kiss Photos Exposed
The moonlight by the hot spring pool was shattered by the water vapor. Zhuo Huaimo’s nape rested against the bluestone, Qi Yanwang’s canines grazed against the bite marks below his collarbone.
From the distant mountains and forests came the rustling sound of accumulated snow falling, mixed with the intertwined gasps of the two men.
The hot air of the hot spring rose in the night, Qi Yanwang held Zhuo Huaimo tightly in his arms, his fingers gently playing with his wet hair.
Zhuo Huaimo leaned against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and suddenly asked,
“When did you learn Japanese?”
Qi Yanwang chuckled and whispered in his ear,
“Have you forgotten? I used to work in nightclubs, as a host.”
Zhuo Huaimo was stunned, and pushed him away speechlessly,
“If you were a host back then, you should have been the one on the bottom!”
He glared at Qi Yanwang,
“Back then, you told me you were straight. You were really straight, which caused me so much suffering to chase you!”
Qi Yanwang was amused by his reaction, raised his eyebrows and teased him,
“Regretting it? I gave you a chance that night!”
Zhuo Huaimo snorted in dissatisfaction, and reached for the bath towel beside him to go ashore.
Qi Yanwang pulled him back into his arms, and kissed his forehead,
“I’m sorry, I’ll chase you from now on.”
Zhuo Huaimo lit a cigarette, and flicked the ash from his fingertip,
“Then tell me, how did you learn it?”
Qi Yanwang brushed the wet hair from his forehead, and smiled,
“Have you forgotten? You got me a role in an anti-Japanese war film before. The director wanted to use the original voices, so I put in some effort at that time.”
Zhuo Huaimo raised an eyebrow, “So dedicated?”
Qi Yanwang put his hand behind him to hold him back, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said with emotion,
“There’s no way, who told me to find such a dazzling wife, I can’t slack off in every step.”
Zhuo Huaimo was amused by him, and gently patted his chest,
“Okay, I’ll wait!”
Zhuo Huaimo was in a good mood tonight. Qi Yanwang reached out and put his arm around his waist,
“What do you think of the old monk’s words?”
Zhuo Huaimo’s hand holding the cigarette trembled. He knew too well what he wanted to say.
To be honest, the old monk’s words made his heart flutter. Could Qi Yanwang really be the one to change his fate?
Through the mist, he looked at the man in front of him who had made his heart flutter at first sight. Now, he was even willing to risk his entire fortune for him.
In this society, there are not many people who are willing to give everything for each other, especially since he is used to seeing the entertainment industry, which is full of snobbery and reality.
Zhuo Huaimo held his face with one hand, looked at him carefully through the mist, and gently kissed his lips.
Qi Yanwang’s heart was in his throat. His heart was pounding like a drum. For that second, he saw hesitation on Zhuo Huaimo’s face.
He was overjoyed, held his breath, and waited for the answer he wanted.
Zhuo Huaimo paused, his large, well-defined hand flicked away the cigarette butt from his fingertips, and smiled,
“I never believe in fate!”
After speaking, he wrapped himself in a bath towel and left the hot spring.
The light in Qi Yanwang’s eyes dimmed instantly. The hot spring, which was obviously full of heat, was as cold as ice.
He leaned against the bluestone rock, and a sense of powerlessness welled up from the bottom of his heart.
Zhuo Huaimo was too difficult to change, even if he had already done this much.
Even if he felt ashamed of what he was doing now, and felt that he was being cheap, and humble to the dust, it only earned him a moment of hesitation.
Qi Yanwang slid down the rock wall into the hot spring, letting the water cover his head. He clearly heard his heart speak.
“Splash—”
He jumped out of the water, the moonlight sweeping across his well-defined abs.
He wiped his hair with a bath towel, picked up the phone next to him, and quickly sent a message.
“Send out the photos and news!”
The morning sunlight poured in through the shoji screen. Zhuo Huaimo had just picked up his coffee when his phone started vibrating frantically.
He clicked on the push notification, and his pupils shrank—
#Qi Zhuo Hot Spring Embrace#
#Xingyue Media Unspoken Rules#
……
In the photo, the scene of Qi Yanwang holding him by the hot spring pool and kissing him was clearly visible.
Zhuo Huaimo turned his head abruptly. Qi Yanwang was carrying breakfast in, with a hint of laziness from waking up in the morning.
“What’s going on?”
Zhuo Huaimo slammed the phone on the tatami.
Qi Yanwang picked up the phone, his brows furrowed, “How could this happen…”
He looked through the photos, his voice hoarse,
“There was obviously no one by the hot spring pool last night…”
Zhuo Huaimo had already dialed Yu Fengran’s number,
“Book the earliest flight back home.”
He glanced at Qi Yanwang, “You fly directly to France, and transfer back!”
The airport VIP channel was surrounded by reporters.
Yu Fengran picked up the two of them directly from inside the airport,
“President Zhuo, three of the top ten trending searches on Weibo are about you.”
Yu Fengran handed over the tablet, the trending search terms were glaringly red.
#Qi Yanwang Zhuo Huaimo Embrace#
#Top-Tier (Idol) Comes Out as Gay#
#Crane Dance Temple Marriage Luck#
The comment section had already fallen, CP fans were reveling, mixed with insults from haters,
“I always thought there was something wrong with the way they looked at each other!”
“Disgusting, get out of the entertainment industry!”
Zhuo Huaimo took off his mask, his jawline was sharp,
“Notify the technical department to lock the forum, contact all platforms to lower the heat. Let the legal department prepare a statement…”
“It’s too late!”
Qi Yanwang suddenly spoke.
The entertainment news was playing on the airport terminal screen, their embracing scene was blurred with a filter, making it even more ambiguous.
“At six o’clock this morning, Starlight Entertainment released the second wave of candid shots.”
He swiped his phone, the overlapping figures in the hot spring mist, the backs on the steps of the Crane Dance Temple resembled an old love movie.
The atmosphere in the business car instantly quieted down, like dark clouds pressing down from the sky, waiting for an impending storm.
The car stopped directly in the “Xingyue” underground parking lot.
“Lao Yu, you get out of the car first!”
Zhuo Huaimo’s voice was as cold as ice, immediately making Qi Yanwang have a bad feeling.
Yu Fengran’s eyes wandered between the two of them, and finally he got out of the car blankly.
“You arranged this?”
Zhuo Huaimo asked coldly, his Adam’s apple rolling as he exhaled smoke.
His eyes were red, staring at Qi Yanwang, the muscles in the corners of his mouth twitching.
Qi Yanwang’s Adam’s apple rolled in the shadows,
“Yes!”
“Slap—”
Zhuo Huaimo slapped him in the face, his palm burning with pain.
“Are you fucking crazy?”
Qi Yanwang grabbed his wrist,
“Yes, I’m crazy, I’ve been fucking crazy for a long time! From the moment I knew you were going to break up with me, I went crazy!”
“So you fucking self-destruct?! Do you know how many brands called this morning to terminate their contracts with you and me? You’re going to make me lose everything?”
Zhuo Huaimo Throw him away，“company，your，You’re very「Gay romance」The mark of，You！”
“I’m very！”
Qi Yan，knee D Enter him，
“Zhuo Yuime，You give me，now——”
He eye orbits were bloodshot, “North Sea「I’m waiting」，after all？You’re very？”
Zhuo Huaimo coldly sneered, “Qi Yanwang，You’re very，I！I’m here，Maybe before，I’m still，Can，Waiting for full，or，Even if，think，Still OK！”
He gave his stomach a glance, “Finished，your，But now，You give me！Not special，I！”
Qi Yanwang pressed his cheeks, pinched his chin,
“Zhuo Yuime，Then I，It’s you，Why，Leave if you want？！I，I don’t know，No distinction！You’re very，Crazy！”
He grabbed his suit jacket, prepared to get out of the car,
“Statement, do your best to release it.”
He turned his head, the fire of obsession burning in his eyes, “But I guarantee, from today onwards every interview, I will say ‘We slept together!’”
Qi Yanwang suddenly smiled, took out his phone,
“I have already posted on Weibo.”
Zhuo Huaimo snatched the phone, the screen clearly showing Qi Yanwang’s pinned tweet,
“Not unspoken rules, but mutual affection. @Zhuo Huaimo”
The comment section instantly exploded:
“Damn! Did they make it official?”
“President Zhuo, respond quickly!”
“Qi Yanwang, have you been kidnapped?”
Zhuo Huaimo’s knuckles were white, “Delete it!”
“Not deleting!”
“Qi Yanwang!”
“Zhuo Huaimo!”
Qi Yanwang put the suit on his shoulder,
“I have a lot of kiss photos, bed photos, if you dare mention breaking up, I will leak kiss photos!”
Breach of contract letters from brands struck Xingyue Media like snowflakes.
Zhuo Huaimo slammed the seventh document on the conference table, the head of legal wiping cold sweat and reporting,
“L brand watch demands 80 million in damages, P brand haute couture requires triple the penalty for breach of contract…”
“Accept!”
Zhuo Huaimo loosened his tie, “Accept all breach of contract cases, tell the public relations department to issue a statement—”
He pulled up the screenshot of Qi Yanwang’s Weibo, “Just say the artist’s account was hacked, and it has been reported to the police.”
The chief financial officer suddenly rushed in, “President Zhuo! The bank is demanding early repayment of the project loan!”
He handed over the document, “They say our credit rating has been lowered to C grade…”
“Activate the B3 contingency plan.”
Zhuo Huaimo loosened his tie, the blue light of the electronic screen reflected on his cold face, “Sell Qi Yanwang’s endorsement of film and television projects for next year as a package, contact Hong Kong capital to take over.”
He suddenly paused, his fingertips caressing the signature column at the end of the document, “Put the Cloud Top Villa he just bought last month on the market, at a 30% discount on the market price.”
The head of legal hesitated, “That villa… the property certificate is in your name.”
Outside the French windows, a torrential rain poured down. Zhuo Huaimo remembered Qi Yanwang lying on the purchase contract that night, acting shamelessly,
“Do you understand joint property of husband and wife?”
The tip of the pen scratched a crack on the contract. He closed his eyes,
“Do it!”
The relationship between the two fell to freezing point. Zhuo Huaimo handled a lot of mess in the company, Qi Yanwang didn’t want to return to that empty home without him.
He spent several days at Liu Jinchen’s den of luxury.
He shook his whiskey and nestled on the sofa, Liu Jinchen was laughing madly at the trending searches,
“Awesome, Teacher Qi!”
He snatched the phone and read the comments, “‘Qi Yanwang Bed Photos’ have climbed to the third most searched term, President Zhuo didn’t chop you up and feed you to the fish?”
Qi Yanwang glanced at him, “Can you shut up?”
Liu Jinchen knew his feelings for Zhuo Huaimo, although he couldn’t understand it, he thought it was awesome.
In his words, this love, once it ferments, is more terrifying than the dogs in the village when they go into heat.
Look at these two people, obviously loving each other to death, they have to bite like mad dogs. He admits that he doesn’t have that IQ, watching the drama, playing with little stars, it’s much more exciting!
Seeing that Qi Yanwang was not in the mood to joke with him, but he couldn’t suppress the curiosity in his heart, he touched his glass with his wine glass,
“Hey, how did your President Zhuo find out that you released the news? Last time, didn’t you do it perfectly? It seems that he’s not that easy to fool!”
Qi Yanwang looked at himself reflected in the glass wine glass, he felt a little strange, the spicy liquid was drunk down, and said coldly,
“I did it on purpose!”
