TCBHIWAF Chapter 60

Chapter 60: You Dare to Drug Me

Ye Xingchen stood up, filled with disappointment and helplessness, but still forced himself to appear resolute.

“No thanks.”

“Then I’ll see you out.” Lin Yu followed suit, rising to his feet.

After taking a couple of steps, Lin Yu softly called out, “Wait a moment.”

At this moment, Lin Yu’s heart was in turmoil. He knew that what he was about to do might cause Ye Xingchen to misunderstand even more, but he couldn’t help but want to give him the gift he had prepared.

Ye Xingchen turned around to look at him in confusion, his eyes full of doubt and expectation.

Lin Yu then turned and went upstairs, his footsteps heavy, each step feeling like he was treading on the edge of a blade.

He thought to himself that perhaps this was the last thing he could do for Ye Xingchen.

Soon, Lin Yu came down with a beautifully wrapped gift box and placed it in Ye Xingchen’s hand.

“This is a gift for you.” Lin Yu’s eyes darted around, not daring to look directly at Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen looked at the gift, silent, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He didn’t understand why Lin Yu would give him a gift again.

It was like being slapped and then given a candy.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Xingchen slowly reached out and took it. “Thank you.”

Afterward, Lin Yu saw Ye Xingchen to his car and watched him get in.

As soon as he got into the car, Ye Xingchen glanced down at the gift Lin Yu had given him, but didn’t open it.

“I really don’t know what he’s thinking. He doesn’t want to be with me, so why give me a gift?” His eyes welled up with tears, his heart full of pain and unwillingness.

Ye Xingchen placed the gift on the passenger seat and then drove back to the Seaside Villa, his thoughts in disarray.

Ye Xingchen drove back to the Seaside Villa, his mood incredibly heavy all the way.

Back home, he tossed the car keys aside and sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the gift box.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened it.

Inside was a book they had once read together, with a photo of them together tucked inside. On the back of the photo was written: “Xingchen, I hope you are well.”

In addition, there was also an exquisite brooch in the box.

Ye Xingchen could no longer hold back his tears, and they burst forth.

He tightly gripped the photo and the brooch, and muttered to himself, “You coward, why don’t you dare to face our feelings?”

That night, Lin Yu lay alone in his room, the lingering scent of Ye Xingchen seeming to permeate the air, making him restless.

He knew he had hurt Ye Xingchen, but he felt it was for his own good.

“Maybe this way he can live a normal life and have a normal partner.” Thinking this, Lin Yu couldn’t control his tears from flowing down.

In the following days, Lin Yu devoted himself wholeheartedly to the game development at Starlight Entertainment.

He led the team day and night, constantly optimizing the game’s graphics and gameplay, just to ensure that the company could stand out in the fiercely competitive game market.

And Ye Xingchen was also unrelenting. He traveled between various projects, negotiating with partners, supervising construction progress, and solving various emergencies.

In the real estate project, he meticulously planned every detail, striving to create high-quality residences.

In the development of the tourist area, he focused on ecological protection and cultural inheritance, striving to provide tourists with a unique experience.

In the operation of the department store, he constantly innovated marketing strategies and improved service quality to attract more customers.

…

Time flew by, and two months passed.

On this day, Lin Yu, accompanied by his assistant Linda, attended a luxurious banquet to attract investment for the company’s new project.

At the banquet, Lin Yu, dressed in a well-tailored silver suit, stood tall and straight, his handsome face attracting the attention of many.

Linda, following beside Lin Yu, whispered, “Lin Total, you must seize this opportunity. The company is counting on this investment.”

Lin Yu nodded slightly, his expression calm. “I know what I’m doing. Let’s see what the situation is first.”

At this time, Ye Xingchen was also at this banquet, watching Lin Yu from afar on the second floor.

Secretary Zhang, who was standing next to him, said with great discernment, “Ye Total, why don’t you go say hello?”

Ye Xingchen shook his head. “Let’s observe first.”

Lin Yu’s main goal in coming here was to talk to Wang Huaian about investment. Wang Huaian was the head of a very influential venture capital firm, about forty years old, with a big belly and eyes that revealed worldliness and shrewdness.

Lin Yu finally saw Wang Huaian and walked over to greet him politely. “Mr. Wang, I’ve heard so much about you.”

Wang Huaian sized Lin Yu up and down, saying with a fake smile, “Lin Total, you’re young and promising.”

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Yu introduced his game company’s project and prospects in detail, showing professionalism and confidence.

After listening, Wang Huaian wore a meaningful smile on his face.

“Lin Total, this project has potential. But this investment is no small matter. The risks and returns must be carefully weighed.”

Lin Yu frowned slightly, looking at Huaian with firm eyes.

“Mr. Wang, I have full confidence in our company’s project, and I believe you can also see the business opportunities in it.”

Wang Huaian leaned closer to Lin Yu and lowered his voice, saying, “Lin Total, as long as you accompany me somewhere tonight, we can talk more in-depth, and this investment will be easy to discuss.”

Lin Yu’s face sank, his voice gentle but with an unquestionable majesty. “Mr. Wang, I am here sincerely to discuss cooperation, and I hope you can respect our project. Although I am the CEO of Starlight Entertainment, I am also a member of the Lin family. If you have other intentions, please think twice.” After saying that, he turned to leave.

But Wang Huaian grabbed him, his face full of smiles.

“Don’t be so anxious, Lin Total. Come, let’s have a drink first.” Saying that, Wang Huaian deliberately slipped a pill into Lin Yu’s glass while toasting him.

Lin Yu was focused on securing the investment and didn’t notice his little trick, so he drank the wine directly.

Wang Huaian was secretly pleased. *Humph, once the drug takes effect, I’ll take some compromising photos of you. Then I won’t have to worry about you not obeying me. You’ll be at my beck and call.*

“Lin Total, let’s find a place to talk privately. I just thought about it, and I think your game project has good prospects.”

Lin Yu looked at Linda and said, “Wait for me here for a while.”

Linda nodded with a worried expression.

*This pervert won’t do anything to Lin Total, will he?*

Linda paced anxiously.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen, who had seen everything clearly, was furious. He roared, “Follow them.”

As he walked, he gritted his teeth and said, “This Wang Huaian, daring to touch my man, he doesn’t even weigh himself to see how much he’s worth.”

Secretary Zhang was dumbfounded, thinking to himself: *When did Lin Total become Ye Total’s man? Aren’t they just good friends and brothers?*

But he didn’t think too much and quickly followed Ye Xingchen as he strode away.

Not long after entering the private room, just as Lin Yu took out the project materials to explain a few points to Mr. Wang, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, his body started to heat up, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Lin Yu tried to support himself and said, “Mr. Wang, this is the detailed information of our project, please take a look…”

Seeing this, Wang Huaian stood up, a lewd smile on his face, and rubbed his hands together, saying, “Lin Total, what’s wrong? Don’t worry, rest first.”

Lin Yu realized that something was wrong, his voice weak but firm. “You dare to drug me?”

“As long as you obediently listen to me, you’ll be richly rewarded. Whatever project it is, I can get it done for you.”

“I’ve long heard that Lin Total is clean and self-disciplined, without even a hint of scandal. You probably haven’t even touched a woman, right? Today, I, your brother, will give you a good pampering.” Saying that, Wang Huaian reached out to touch Lin Yu’s face.
