    Chapter 70 Concern: Are you very interested in my wife?

    In the following days, they followed the itinerary planned by the secretary and toured Sanya, but unfortunately, one day it rained heavily, and the four of them had to stay in the villa. At two o’clock in the afternoon, Xu Huaiyang finished processing his work online, and Qin Xin finished correcting homework online. After a short rest, the two simultaneously shifted their gaze to the brand new, high-end mahjong table in the living room.

    Qin Xin: “Is this appropriate?”

    Xu Huaiyang: “It doesn’t seem like it.”

    The two looked at the rain outside, and then looked at each other.

    Qin Xin immediately got up, “I’ll go get Xu Jing and Shen Yan.”

    Xu Huaiyang had already walked to the living room, “I’ll check the mahjong table.”

    Qin Xin and Xu Huaiyang were impeccable as parents in one aspect: they always knocked on Xu Jing’s bedroom door before entering. Respecting their son’s privacy was a consensus the couple had reached, which was why the two kissing on the sofa weren’t caught in the act.

    The day they came to Sanya, Xu Jing tried his best to prove that his reaction lingered in his mind. Shen Yan had also been inexplicably restless these days, and with Qin Xin and Xu Huaiyang living next door, a certain impulse grew stronger and stronger.

    Last night, there was a thunderstorm, and neither of them could sleep. Xu Jing had just sent a message when there was a knock on the door. Shen Yan looked like he had just finished taking a shower, with a towel on his head and his hair dripping wet. He seemed to be shrouded in a hazy mist. When the door opened, his slightly upturned eyes seemed to be smeared with a very light blush, and he looked over with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, which was very seductive.

    Xu Jing’s Adam’s apple bobbed twice, and his voice was inexplicably tight, “Why are you showering at this hour?”

    After Shen Yan entered the room, he sat on the sofa, looked at his deskmate, and said truthfully, “I couldn’t control myself, so I cooled down.”

    Xu Jing: “…”

    The surrounding air became a little hot because of this sentence.

    “Don’t stay so far away from me.” As the deep, magnetic voice fell, Xu Jing felt like he had been bewitched. His thoughts were in a mess, but he still obediently sat next to Shen Yan.

    Shen Yan’s figure was truly perfect. He had very fair, cool-toned skin, a strong and powerful chest, and tight muscles in his waist and abdomen with distinct lines. Just looking at him exuded a strong sense of sex appeal. Xu Jing didn’t have time to look closely after sitting down before his deskmate pushed him down on the sofa.

    “Shen Yan, you…”

    Shen Yan leaned down and buried his head in his neck, his voice hoarse, “Don’t call my name, call me brother.”

    Xu Jing breathed slightly, “No.”

    Shen Yan pressed down on Xu Jing’s wrist, his moist breath lingering in his ear, and those dark and deep eyes stared at him without moving.

    “Okay.” Xu Jing’s cheeks were burning, and he said with some difficulty, “Brother.”

    “Wrong.” Shen Yan’s voice was a bit more oppressive.

    Xu Jing frowned, “What’s the difference?”

    “There’s a big difference. One is for flirting, and the other sounds like inces*t.”

    “…”

    Xu Jing almost wanted to swear. It was already good enough that he could call him that, where did all these requests come from?

    “Deskmate, you’re standing up pretty hard.” Shen Yan smiled mischievously, his tone teasing.

    Xu Jing stopped Shen Yan’s wandering hand, his voice low and hoarse, “Enough…”

    “Really? Didn’t you say you wanted to try?”

    “I meant…never mind.” Xu Jing closed his eyes heavily, and as if compromising, he whispered, “Brother.”

    “What did you say? I can’t hear you.”

    “Shen Yan, don’t go too far.”

    However, at this moment, Xu Jing discovered something that made him want to curse even more. His pants had been unbuttoned by this person at some point, and that slender, pale hand with a hint of coolness was reaching in to do evil, and had already touched the top.

    Xu Jing shuddered all over, and his voice trembled almost imperceptibly.

    The shameful title was finally said.

    “Brother.”

    Shen Yan raised his eyes and saw that the boy under him had a blush on his face, his wet eyelashes were trembling, and his white cotton pajamas were pulled down to his collarbone, revealing a large expanse of fair skin. The crimson color ran down his neck.

    That fiery gaze instantly dimmed, and Shen Yan said in a hoarse voice, “Too late.”

    Xu Jing: “…”

    Damn it, miscalculated.

    When he woke up the next day, it was already noon. Xu Jing ran to the mirror to check, and was relieved that there were no marks left on his neck. But when he lowered his head, he saw a few obvious teeth marks between his thighs.

    Xu Jing couldn’t help but curse. Thinking about what happened last night, he felt like he couldn’t even look Shen Yan in the face. In the end, his brain was deprived of oxygen, his eyes went blank, and he suddenly felt a pain in his thigh.

    Shen Yan was biting him, and not lightly.

    It was also at this time that he surrendered, and it all ended up on Shen Yan’s face.

    He opened his eyes in embarrassment, vaguely seeing those beautiful peach blossom eyes turning red with suppressed restraint. White liquid slid from his straight nose to his lips. Shen Yan smiled wickedly, stuck out his tongue, licked it, and swallowed it. Xu Jing would never forget that scene in his life.

    Then Shen Yan said an extremely obscene thing, so ear-splitting that he wanted to faint on the spot. After that, this person got up from him, and twenty minutes later, the sound of water came from the bathroom.

    Just half an hour ago, Shen Yan came to bring him lunch. Not long after they finished eating, they kissed again in the same place, in the same position.

    Xu Jing had never thought that the saying “young people are energetic” made much sense, but at this moment, he felt it in Shen Yan.

    The sudden knock on the door startled the two who were already feeling guilty, and they almost revealed their secret in the panic, but they didn’t expect Qin Xin to not notice at all. She opened the door and said, “Two handsome guys, we’re two players short for mahjong.”

    The two said in unison, “We don’t know how.”

    Qin Xin only said one word, “Learn.”

    So, under two eager gazes, Shen Yan and Xu Jing first searched for the rules online, and then downloaded a game called Happy Mahjong. The two played with full concentration for half an hour.

    After playing two games against the computer, Xu Jing confidently started random matching, but because his luck was too bad, he went bankrupt every time.

    Then he turned his head and looked at Shen Yan’s game interface, and found that the other’s Happy Beans were already six figures.

    Xu Jing was very upset, “How did you do that?”

    “I don’t know, I just played casually.”

    “…”

    Damn it.

    What a stupid game.

    Just like that, two newbies who had less than an hour of mahjong experience resolutely sat down at the mahjong table. Before this, Xu Jing had gone bankrupt eight times in the game.

    Xu Jing was the dealer in the first round, but his hand was terrible. Among the fourteen tiles, there were neither sequences nor pairs. They were pieced together randomly and had no connection. Xu Jing almost laughed out of anger when he saw it.

    Xu Jing’s opponent was Qin Xin, and his upper and lower players were Xu Huaiyang and Shen Yan respectively.

    Xu Huaiyang smiled and said, “Son, if you want any tiles, just tell me secretly, and Dad will feed you the tiles.”

    Qin Xin Tsk a, said, “No, it’s not interesting to play like this.”

    Then, the next second, she turned her head and said to Shen Yan, “Shen Yan, tell me if you need anything, and I’ll give it to you.”

    Xu Huaiyang: “…”

    In the first few rounds, Qin Xin and Xu Huaiyang really kept feeding tiles to their respective lower players, so Shen Yan had two Pure One Suit hands and three self-drawn hands, winning very smoothly. But Xu Jing didn’t win a single round. It wasn’t that Xu Huaiyang wasn’t actively feeding tiles, but that Xu Jing’s luck was really bad.

    Half of the tiles had already been drawn, and three players had already waited, but only Xu Jing was still fighting against the east, south, west, and north winds in front of him.

    Looking at the scattered tiles that Xu Jing couldn’t finish playing, Xu Huaiyang couldn’t help but complain, “Son, did you get your hand on something dirty? Why don’t you go wash your hands and come back?”

    Qin Xin: “Six of Wan.”

    Shen Yan: “Pong.”

    He only needed to draw three or six Bamboo to win. After one round, he drew another six of Wan, “Kong.”

    Then Shen Yan very smoothly flipped out the only remaining three of Bamboo.

    “Kong on Winning Tile.”

    Xu Jing: “…”

    I’m impressed.

    Qin Xin: “…”

    What amazing luck.

    Xu Huaiyang: “…”

    Can’t carry him, really can’t carry him.

    After that, Xu Huaiyang didn’t care about Xu Jing anymore and seriously played his own tiles. Qin Xin felt that Shen Yan’s newbie protection period was too strong, so she stopped feeding tiles. Only then did the situation on the table slightly turn around.

    Shen Yan: “Seven of Tong.”

    Xu Jing: “Pong.”

    Shen Yan: “Four of Bamboo.”

    Xu Jing: “Pong.”

    Just like that, Xu Jing finally self-drew a hand after losing for an hour.

    The four of them played all afternoon. If they were playing for money, Xu Jing’s lucky money wouldn’t be enough to give to these three people.

    Forty minutes of class felt like sitting on pins and needles, but four hours of mahjong was as steady as an old dog.

    Xu Jing said that he would never play such a boring board game again.

    Taking advantage of the rain stopping, they went to the hotel’s exclusive VIP restaurant for dinner after playing mahjong. In the short time that Xu Huaiyang went out to make a phone call to handle work, three men had already come to flirt with Qin Xin, and they all looked more than ten years younger than Qin Xin.

    “This beautiful lady, may I have your contact information?”

    This one who came this time looked a little more decent. At least he was about the same age as Qin Xin. He was well-dressed in a suit, had a stable temperament, and had no other decorations on his body, only a Vacheron Constantin watch from the latest release, but he gave the impression of a gentleman who had received a good education.

    Qin Xin raised her head and glanced at him, pointed to the two people across from her who were watching the show, and said indifferently, “Sorry, these are my two sons.”

    The man shifted his gaze to Shen Yan and Xu Jing, and was stunned for a moment, his expression very surprised, “Are you already married? I really can’t tell, sorry.”

    “Are you very interested in my wife?”

    A very cold voice suddenly came from behind the man. The four people looked over at the same time, and saw Xu Huaiyang with his arms crossed, his face gloomy, and his eyes seemed to want to devour the man alive.

    Seeing this, the man immediately gave Xu Huaiyang an embarrassed smile, said, “Sorry, I disturbed you,” and ran away in a hurry.

    “These ignorant people, didn’t they see my son sitting here?” The more Xu Huaiyang thought about it, the angrier he got. After sitting down, he glared at Xu Jing and scolded, “And you, you ungrateful wretch, didn’t you see your mother being harassed by another man? Don’t you know to help?”

    Xu Jing cut a small piece of steak and put it in his mouth, unhurriedly, “If I helped, wouldn’t I be stealing your chance to be a hero in front of Mom?”

    “That’s true.” Xu Huaiyang felt that what Xu Jing said made sense, so he turned his head to look at Qin Xin, and Tsk again.

    Qin Xin looked puzzled, “What?”

    “Maybe I’m getting old and feeling insecure.” Xu Jing fanned the flames from the side.

    “…” Xu Huaiyang said unhappily, “Can you give me some face in front of Shen Yan? Where should I put my status as the head of the family?”

    Shen Yan was originally eating his food quietly, but after hearing this, he smiled at Xu Huaiyang and said, “It’s okay, Uncle, loving your wife isn’t embarrassing.”

    “That’s right, look how well Shen Yan speaks.” Xu Huaiyang put two pieces of coconut chicken on Shen Yan’s plate and said, “Eat more, Shen Yan, don’t be polite.”

    It was a simple action, but Shen Yan suddenly froze. Xu Jing turned his head in confusion and saw Shen Yan saying thank you, but his gaze remained on those two pieces of coconut chicken, his expression a little strange.

    Under the table, a hand silently reached across everything and gently covered the scar.

    Shen Yan’s hand moved and, where Xu Huaiyang and Qin Xin couldn’t see, he grasped it tightly.

    _

    At this moment, it was also raining heavily in the United States, with thunder and lightning, and the entire New York was shrouded in darkness. Shen Linzhi had just finished a meeting and walked into the office. Butler Liu Xiaoguang followed behind him carefully, his expression tense and heavy.

    “How’s the matter I asked you to investigate?”

    Liu Xiaoguang lowered his head and remained silent.

    “Why aren’t you talking? Did he do something unexpected again?” Shen Linzhi’s voice was very calm.

    “President Shen, Young Master, he… he went to Sanya with Xu Jing’s family for a vacation.”

    “Vacation?” Shen Linzhi sneered, a sinister look on his face, “It seems that my son is enjoying his current life.”

    “How many days have they been gone?”

    “It’s been a week.”

    Shen Linzhi didn’t say anything, just looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking. Liu Xiaoguang stepped forward and lowered his voice to remind him, “President Shen, the board of directors has been getting more and more restless recently. Also, Dr. Li asked you to go for another checkup these days. He said the situation may… not be very good.”

    Shen Linzhi’s face changed slightly, and a hint of imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

    “I understand, you can leave.”

    The office became quiet again. Shen Linzhi looked out at the empty Chinatown, his eyes sinister and terrifying.

    Over the years, with the support of Gu Ruozhao’s family, Shen Linzhi’s industry had grown bigger and bigger, and the company had moved from China to overseas. Fame, power, and money, he had obtained everything he wanted. However, two years ago, reality gave Shen Linzhi a heavy blow. He was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer, and the doctor said the chance of it worsening was very high. The news was leaked, and a new force began to appear on the board of directors. They were proceeding step by step, wanting to take the opportunity to pull him down from the position of chairman.

    He had no siblings, and the two children Gu Ruozhao gave birth to were both daughters. Now, the only person who could succeed him and be persuasive was Shen Yan, the son he hadn’t seen for many years. In fact, even Shen Linzhi himself couldn’t say what his feelings were for Shen Yan. Was it guilt, disgust, or fear? But no matter which it was, if he hadn’t been forced into a difficult situation like this, he wouldn’t have wanted to see Shen Yan again, because through that face that resembled his, he saw the darkness and sin deep in his heart.

    A flash of lightning ripped through the sky, and the man in front of the window looked indifferent and slowly closed his eyes.

    I’m sorry.

    I have no other choice.
