TLSOTMTKOGAYWHTDI Chapter 64
by VolareLi Yang’s phone screen lit up the late night into a sea of fluorescence.
The [True WangHuai] CP group chat was buzzing with messages.
[Group Owner] Little Bunny: “@Group Owner! No sugar for three months! Did President Qi chase after Mo Mo when he went to the US?”
Strawberry Milkshake: “Sisters, look at the hot search! Qi Corporation’s official Weibo IP is showing in Los Angeles!”
Keyboard Warrior Basher: “@Li Yang, Boss Li, you’ve infiltrated Mo Mo’s studio! What’s the frontline report?”
Li Yang irritably flipped his phone face down on his desk, the mahogany surface reflecting his frantic face.
As the president of Xingyue Media, he should have been flirting with the newly promoted starlet at the cocktail party, but instead, he was guarding the CP group like a middle school girl.
It was all because he bumped into Qi Yanwang pinning Zhuo Huaimo against the wall in the dressing room to kiss him when he visited the set the year before, the explosive sexual tension of that scene made him a fan instantly.
“Damn it!”
He tore off his tie and grabbed his phone, the group already having over 999+ messages.
The latest news was an airport sighting, Qi Yanwang’s Rolls-Royce Phantom disappearing at the end of the LA highway.
[Group Owner] Little Bunny: “Just found Mo Mo’s address! 17 Rose Avenue, Beverly Hills!”
Li Yang’s pupils trembled, he grabbed his coat and rushed out.
His assistant chased him to the elevator entrance with a stack of documents, “President Li, the artist signing this afternoon…”
“Postpone it! Book the next flight to LA!”
Twelve hours later, Li Yang, wearing sunglasses, was furtively squatting under a sycamore tree on Rose Avenue.
The phone camera was aimed at the carved iron gate of Villa 17 when suddenly, he was enveloped in shadow.
“Since when did President Li take up the paparazzi business?”
Zhuo Huaimo leaned against the door, arms crossed, the morning light gilding his pale skin with a layer of gold.
A beige turtleneck sweater wrapped his slender figure, only the corners of his eyes were tinged with a faint red from insomnia.
“Baby, your dark circles could rival a panda’s.”
Li Yang grinned and shook the red wine, “I brought your favorite Burgundy Grand Cru.”
Zhuo Huaimo glanced at the SLR camera lens peeking out of his backpack and sneered,
“Is your platform about to collapse?”
“How could it be!”
Li Yang looked displeased, “It’s been over a year since we last met, can’t you wish me well? You curse my company to collapse the moment we meet!”
Zhuo Huaimo scanned the professional equipment on his back,
“You’ve fallen so low as to run the front lines yourself!”
Li Yang scratched his head awkwardly, “Hehe, you know, it’s not easy leading a group of kids, everyone’s waiting for food, and you and Qi Yanwang haven’t produced any content in over a year, the old candy from our ancestors is almost gone!”
He, a dignified platform CEO, was actually tugging at Zhuo Huaimo’s sleeve like a group of little girls,
“Food, food, we’re hungry!”
“Get lost!”
Zhuo Huaimo turned around and went back to his villa, Li Yang following him in a flurry!
Just as Li Yang squeezed into the living room, his phone vibrated in his pocket like an electric toothbrush.
He pretended to tie his shoelaces and squatted down, the screen showing Qi Yanwang’s deathly trio of questions:
“Where is he?” “What is he doing?” “Is it done yet?”, followed by a bloody red exclamation mark.
“The user you dialed is currently saving love—” Li Yang typed quickly, when suddenly Zhuo Huaimo grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and lifted him up.
“Who are you informing?” Zhuo Huaimo squinted.
“That…the newly signed young star wants to terminate the contract!”
Zhuo Huaimo glanced at him, “I’ll make you some coffee!”
Only then did Li Yang take out his phone, the screen showing a cold,
“Get lost.”
Li Yang grinned and continued to type: “Don’t be so cold, I’m risking my life to be your wingman. By the way, where are you? You weren’t really kicked out of the house, were you?”
Qi Yanwang: “None of your business.”
Li Yang: “Tsk tsk, looks like you were kicked out. Do you want your brother to help you? The owner of this manor is a friend of mine, I’ll have him call me, I’ll figure out a way to get him over here!”
Qi Yanwang: “Are you sure you don’t just want to film material?”
Li Yang: “With a clear conscience! I’m thinking of your happiness! Besides, your Mo Mo is very wary of me now, he stared at the SLR in my backpack as soon as I came in, almost kicked me out.”
Qi Yanwang: “Are you sure this will work?”
“Don’t worry, I’m a professional CP fan leader! Besides, Zhuo Huaimo is here with me now, I’ll help you keep him in place, you hurry up and prepare.”
Qi Yanwang was silent for a few seconds, then sent a message.
“Okay, I’ll trust you this once. But you have to help me bring him over.”
Li Yang: “Leave it to me!”
Qi Yanwang: “Thanks, I’ll give you any script or variety show you want in the future!”
Li Yang: “Don’t say so much, I’m begging you two, give the children some content.”
Li Yang looked at the phone screen and couldn’t help but laugh.
This guy Qi Yanwang, who looked so depressed last night, was actually resurrected with full health at this moment.
Sure enough, Qi Yanwang’s recovery ability was surprisingly good for chasing Zhuo Huaimo, give him a little sunshine and he’ll shine.
Zhuo Huaimo sat on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine, and glanced at Li Yang coldly,
“What are you laughing at?”
Li Yang quickly put away his phone, pretending to be nonchalant,
“Your red wine is very average!”
Zhuo Huaimo raised an eyebrow, “I’m waiting for you to send me two bottles of unusual ones to try!”
Li Yang was overjoyed, that was the sentence he was waiting for, he didn’t expect it to be so easy to get him hooked.
He pretended to be calm and said,
“That’s easy, my friend has a manor here, want to go pick out two bottles?”
Zhuo Huaimo frowned, “Manor? You have friends here?”
“Nonsense, who is Li Yang, I have friends all over the world!”
As he spoke, he pulled Zhuo Huaimo up without explanation, “Let’s go!”
“Wait!”
Zhuo Huaimo almost lost his shoes, “I didn’t say I was going!”
“We’re going, we’re going, I want to go, you come with me!”
While saying that, he grabbed Zhuo Huaimo’s coat and walked out.
As soon as he got in the car, he sent a message to Qi Yanwang.
Li Yang: “It’s done! How’s your preparation?”
Qi Yanwang: “I’ve already contacted them, everything is arranged at the manor.”
On the way, Li Yang drove while peeking at Zhuo Huaimo in the rearview mirror.
The latter leaned against the car window, his expression indifferent, but the dark circles under his eyes were obviously lighter.
“Mo,”
Li Yang tentatively opened his mouth, “You and President Qi…”
“Shut up.” Zhuo Huaimo interrupted coldly.
Li Yang shrank his neck and muttered in a low voice,
“I’m just concerned about you…”
Zhuo Huaimo smelled a conspiracy as soon as he got in the car, and sure enough, as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Qi Yanwang.
Li Yang traveled halfway around the world, and now this was in the great suburbs, he wasn’t the kind of coy little girl who needed to turn around and leave.
What’s more, the manor scenery was good, with food and drink, he didn’t have to pay, so he’d treat it as a vacation!
Zhuo Huaimo walked straight in and said coldly,
“What kind of tricks are you two up to again?”
Qi Yanwang turned his head and sold Li Yang out, truthfully saying,
“He said the group was starving to death, asking us to give the children some content.”
“Qi Yanwang, you bastard!”
Li Yang gritted his teeth in hatred, never mind, he came all the way here, he couldn’t return empty-handed.
He started snapping photos of the two of them.
“Li Yang, are you asking me to sue you!”
Li Yang relied on his years of friendship with the two and shouted,
“Zhuo Huaimo, if you don’t sue me, you’re a dog!”
Zhuo Huaimo was so angry that he wanted to hammer him, Qi Yanwang quickly stepped in to stop him.
After all, he was happy for Li Yang to promote this matter vigorously.
Zhuo Huaimo was helpless, looked at Qi Yanwang,
“You come with me!”
Qi Yanwang immediately followed him in a flustered manner, and secretly gave Li Yang an “OK” sign.
“Qi Yanwang, when will you grow up? Are you just going to let him mess around like this?”
Qi Yanwang said seriously, “Oh, portrait rights, anyway, I don’t have any opinions on this aspect, it mainly depends on you, if you sue him…”
“What will you do?”
Qi Yanwang was stunned, saying he agreed would go against his heart;
Saying he didn’t agree would go against his wife’s wishes.
In the end, he came up with, “I’ll lend you my lawyer!”
“You…”
In the past few days, Zhuo Huaimo had used the four words “shameless” countless times to describe Qi Yanwang.
Obviously, this lethality was not enough!
Zhuo Huaimo turned to leave, Qi Yanwang suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.
“Just today, okay? Li Yang flew for more than ten hours, just give him some face.”
His thumb gently rubbed Zhuo Huaimo’s wrist bone, “I swear, I won’t force you, we’ll just be… like friends.”
Zhuo Huaimo’s fingers curled up.
“Let go.”
His voice was weak, trying to raise his volume to cover up his guilty conscience,
“You bastard…”
“Shh—”
Qi Yanwang suddenly leaned close to his ear, “Li Yang is taking pictures, cooperate?”
Before Zhuo Huaimo could react, he put his arm around his waist, turned him in a circle, and kissed him.
“You bastard, what happened to not touching me?”
“This is a gift for Li Yang!”
The sound of the shutter immediately rang out in the distance.
Zhuo Huaimo was so angry that he kicked his calf, “Are you addicted to acting?!”
“Ouch, ouch, ouch!” Qi Yanwang hopped on one foot and crashed into an oak barrel, looking pained.
Zhuo Huaimo was almost tricked, but luckily the other party’s acting was too bad.
Seeing that his mood had eased a bit, Qi Yanwang said seriously,
“Let’s call a truce for one day, okay? I seriously considered what you said yesterday.”
Zhuo Huaimo’s heart jumped, his fingers involuntarily clenched the railing.
He didn’t expect Qi Yanwang to bring up last night’s conversation so directly, and he didn’t expect himself to feel nervous because of his answer.
“And then?” He tried to make his voice sound calm.
Qi Yanwang turned around, facing him, his eyes so deep that they seemed to want to suck him in,
“The result of my consideration is that I can’t give up on you, and I can’t just be friends with you.”
He took a step forward and said seriously, “So, you only have one day to be friends with me, after one day, I may be even more childish and domineering in chasing you back.”
Zhuo Huaimo subconsciously retreated, but was pulled into his arms by Qi Yanwang. His back was against the railing, Qi Yanwang’s arms wrapped around his waist, locking him tightly in his arms.
“You…” Zhuo Huaimo struggled, but found that he couldn’t break free at all.
“Don’t move,”
Qi Yanwang said in a low voice, his voice with a hint of hoarseness, “Just let me hold you for a while.”
Strawberry Milkshake: “Ahhh the suit protecting his wife is killing me!”
Keyboard Warrior Basher: “Is this sexual tension something I can watch without paying??”
Little Bunny: “Add a chicken leg to the group owner! I’ll pay! Zoom in the camera more ahhh!”
Li Yang was about to adjust the angle when he was caught by Zhuo Huaimo.
“Li! Yang!”
“Damn, run—”
