His Venomous Former Boss Chased Him And Beat Him Fiercely Chapter 50
by“Your parents are coming?!” Kong Xunwen’s eyes widened again when he heard the question.
The man on the phone screen showed a hint of helplessness in his expression and nodded: “I just found out, but it will be a few days from now.”
Noticing the surprise and nervousness on the young man’s face, Qiu Zhijie reassured him, “It’s fine, they are easy to get along with. And I’ve mentioned you before.”
As he said this, a fleeting look of discomfort crossed his face.
This caught Kong Xunwen’s attention. He put down the phone he was using to reply to messages and leaned closer: “What? What did you mention about me?”
Qiu Zhijie rubbed the bridge of his nose: “Nothing much, just that I told them I like you.”
Kong Xunwen looked at him suspiciously for a few moments, then gave up trying to pry further. The two chatted for a while about both sets of parents coming over.
Kong Xunwen ended the conversation when he keenly heard the sound of the engine turning off on the other side.
However, the call between them remained connected.
Kong Xunwen didn’t look closely at the screen, which had gone dark and only transmitted some muffled voices. He focused on replying to messages in his fan group.
“CEO Qiu…”
That voice…
Kong Xunwen frowned slightly and looked up at the completely dark phone screen. It sounded a little familiar.
It sounded like the voice of a relatively young man he had heard coming from the office yesterday evening when he woke up from his nap.
Before he could dwell on the strange feeling, a vibrating notification pulled his attention back.
Kong Xunwen glanced at the black screen again. The voice inside seemed to have only said that one sentence just now; afterward, it was the usual chorus of “Good morning, CEO Qiu” like any other day.
Temporarily putting the matter aside, Kong Xunwen lowered his head to check his phone messages.
Since his fanbase had grown, he usually kept the app notifications muted, but he would still get an alert if someone @-mentioned him in the group.
That was the current situation.
[@Wen, Wenwen, quickly look at this video, you’re trending!]
[Video Link]
[Oh my god, I also saw this clip. It already had over 900,000 likes then, and now it’s over a million!]
[Wenwen, you’re making it big!]
[Hahahahaha, and it was edited by Little Miss!]
[So it really was Wenwen! I thought I saw wrong, hahahahaha]
[Me too. I missed all those parts with Wenwen and his boyfriend. Is it really that shippable?]
[Sister, you won’t regret joining the fandom! Our Wenwen couple is super sweet.]
[We just don’t get much sugar, hahahahahaha, we have to scrape for crumbs every day.]
[I still remember the first time I started shipping them was when the boyfriend confessed, hahahahaha, and Wenwen asked if it was a Truth or Dare.]
[Hahahahahaha]
These words were reflected in Kong Xunwen’s lowered eyes, and he unconsciously recalled the situation at the time.
Who would have thought? His former boss actually liked him.
Truth or Dare was the most reasonable explanation.
Well, actually, it wasn’t that reasonable.
It just made it easier for him to accept.
As he thought, Kong Xunwen remembered the man looking at him and saying, “I like you.”
He hadn’t heard those words recently.
The young man wrinkled his nose slightly.
He clicked on the video link posted by the fan out of curiosity.
The video loaded, starting with a beautiful background of lush green bamboo, overlaid with a wet, rain-like texture, accompanied by the clear sound of a raindrop. Then, a familiar face appeared.
He popped into the frame like a kitten peeking out, and the background changed, as if the rain had been dispersed by the sunlight, revealing clear and bright contours.
The young man, whose hair was clipped to the side, exposing his indifferent yet handsome eyebrows and long, narrow eyes with light-colored pupils.
This scene faded, and in a flash, another smiling young man appeared, the only difference being the slightly awkward smile at the corner of his lips.
Kong Xunwen blinked as he watched, his ear tips involuntarily turning red. Bullet comments floated across the screen.
[Ahhhhh, watch it again, watch it again! What a stunning face, ahhhhh]
[Holy cow, it’s definitely not simple.]
[I thought it was just a bamboo scene. I want to be netizens with you guys in my next life!!!]
“My confession was absolutely not a spur-of-the-moment thing…”
With pink-bubble-like editing, the voice message Qiu Zhijie had sent at the time was clearly recorded. Kong Xunwen’s audio from his first live stream was paired with a surprised expression from a later stream.
The young man’s eyes widened slightly, looking a bit stunned: “…Truth or Dare?”
The man’s audio followed, paired with the image of the young man, who was somehow teased into blushing and looking shy.
“I didn’t confess to you because of a Truth or Dare.
…I genuinely… like you.
I genuinely like you.”
Then came the scene after they got together, where Kong Xunwen pretended to be calm while explaining: “Yes, he is my… boyfriend.”
There were also moments during the live streams when the young man subconsciously looked up, and his eyes would instantly change. The camera zoomed in on the young man’s eyes, clearly showing the emotions within.
Sometimes it was guilt, sometimes panic and shyness, and sometimes it was just simple happiness…
Kong Xunwen himself hadn’t realized he looked so different when facing Qiu Zhijie. He thought… he thought he only liked him a little bit.
Just a little bit…
Turns out, that wasn’t the case.
He was surprised to find that he wasn’t that surprised.
In a daze, the video finished playing and returned to the very beginning, where the young man’s face appeared…
“What are you watching?”
Kong Xunwen’s heart leaped. He instinctively swiped the video away. He only reacted when he met the man’s scrutinizing gaze beside him.
Why was he feeling guilty? What was there to feel guilty about?
Qiu Zhijie had arrived at the office, and his gaze was utterly serious: “Is there something you can’t let me see?”
Kong Xunwen shook his head repeatedly: “Nothing.”
The other party’s gaze slowly swept over the young man’s nervous face and flushed ear tips. He narrowed his eyes but surprisingly didn’t press the issue, nodding and asking no more questions.
Kong Xunwen breathed a sigh of relief, completely unaware that Qiu Zhijie had smoothly switched to his alt account and clicked into the young man’s fan group to check the messages.
When he exited the video, he happened to see the message the young man had replied to not long ago. He instantly understood—so that’s what he was watching.
But why would watching this make him shy?
Qiu Zhijie narrowed his eyes and watched it several times before saving it. He then found the video’s creator and sent them all the videos he had previously recorded of the young man’s live streams.
Little Miss was staring in disbelief at the sea of red notifications on her account.
These weren’t people scolding her; instead… the video she edited had actually gone viral!!!
She swallowed, glanced down at the desk in front of her, and felt a surge of excitement. She really wanted to quit her job.
But…
She suppressed her impulsive thought, held back a smile, and cautiously clicked into her backend.
It was completely red with messages.
She scanned them quickly and was drawn to one message.
This must be another fan of Wenwen. She had seen them in the group before, always asking for pictures. The content of this message was:
[Are you planning to edit more videos? Still of Wen? You can name your price.]
[How about 50,000 for this video first?]
Little Miss clicked in and carefully checked again to make sure she hadn’t misread it before covering her mouth to stifle a gasp.
Oh my god! Although she knew she wouldn’t accept it, who wouldn’t be tempted?
And this also proved one thing: she really could make money doing this.
It was worth the effort she put into revising the message several times after sending it to Wen.
After enjoying her excitement for a while, Little Miss reluctantly refused: [No need, I only edited this video because I like Wenwen.]
The other side paused for a moment: [Bank card number?]
Little Miss quickly refused: [Seriously, no need. Sister, you like Wenwen too, right? We’re the same, so it’s okay.]
Qiu Zhijie frowned at the words on the screen, raised an eyebrow, and replied: [We are not the same.]
He continued: [I have money. Just send your card number.]
Little Miss tilted her head in confusion. Not the same?
What the heck?
However, since the other party was so persistent and said such things, she must be a little rich lady.
Little Miss thought about it and cautiously sent an unused bank card number.
Since the other party was so insistent, right?
Not long after, she actually received a transfer of 50,000!
Little Miss accepted the live stream recordings the other party had sent earlier. She scrolled through them and found that there was a recording of every single live stream. Her heart felt more settled now, but…
Kong Xunwen replied to the messages in the group. He didn’t know what to say, so he just chatted along, only to flee in embarrassment after being teased by their suggestive comments.
After exiting, he went to the main interface. The video’s conversion rate was excellent. Not only had his follower count increased, but his previously posted image and text updates also received more comments. The latest post had many people asking when he would stream next.
There were also private messages, but those were full of all sorts of weirdos, so he didn’t look closely.
However, seeing the private messages reminded him of the fan who had messaged him recently. He hadn’t looked closely at the video creator’s name just now, but that was the only person who had told him about it.
Actually, he didn’t mind whether they told him or not, and besides, the creator’s editing was excellent. He was just curious about the fan’s result.
Just as he was thinking this, the other party messaged him.
Kong Xunwen clicked in.
Little Miss: […This sister transferred me 50,000. Is this okay?]
She attached an embarrassed emoji and the chat history with the other person.
Kong Xunwen immediately became wary. Could it be a scammer?
He solemnly clicked in and saw the other person’s nickname—Xunwen Zhijie.
It was a very artistic nickname, if you didn’t know his and Qiu Zhijie’s names.
Kong Xunwen was speechless for a moment. However, it could be a coincidence. It was easy to verify.
He looked up at the man who seemed to be working diligently. For a moment, he genuinely doubted himself—was it really a coincidence?
But he still spoke: “Xunwen Zhijie?”
Qiu Zhijie heard the familiar name and subconsciously looked over, his eyes unable to conceal his emotions in time.
Kong Xunwen immediately confirmed it. Alright, it was him.
He lowered his eyes speechlessly and told the slightly nervous fan: [It’s fine, just accept it. It’s not a scammer.]
Little Miss was confused for a moment when she received this message. Huh? Did Wenwen figure out what was going on so quickly?
Then she saw the next message from him: [He’s my boyfriend.]
Oh, so it was…
Wait, what? Boyfriend?!!!
After the shock, Little Miss remembered the previous message: We are not the same.
So that’s what he meant by “not the same”…
*
That evening, before Qiu Zhijie returned, Kong Xunwen waited at the door with his arms crossed. He was still happy remembering the day’s live stream, and his toes swayed along to an unknown tune he was humming.
This gave the man who had just entered a big surprise. He still carried a faint scent of the office, which gradually blended with the home’s atmosphere. He raised his arms and opened them for Kong Xunwen.
Kong Xunwen narrowed his eyes, slightly startled by the man’s sudden move, but a smile soon unconsciously appeared on his face. He raised his arms and hugged the person who was slightly larger than himself.
They hugged for a while, and Kong Xunwen was about to let go, but he suddenly remembered something. He rolled his eyes and whispered in the man’s ear: “Xunwen Zhijie…”
The man immediately let go and looked at him with a look of accusation.
Kong Xunwen tilted his head at him.
