TLSOTMTKOGAYWHTDI Chapter 51

Chapter 49: The Last Night

When Qi Yanwang carried Zhuo Huaimo into the villa, the man in his arms had already quieted down, but his body was still trembling slightly, like a severely injured wild animal, curled up in his arms.

Qi Yanwang gently placed him on the sofa, kissing the top of his head, and soothing him in a low voice,

“It’s okay, I’m here.”

Zhuo Huaimo’s eyes were empty, his voice seeming to come from his throat, weak and muffled,

“The second half of the video… I stabbed him…”

Qi Yanwang held his hand, his fingertips gently caressing the back of his hand, his voice low and firm,

“No need to explain, I believe you.”

Qi Yanwang’s phone rang, the screen displaying “Yu Feng Ran” calling.

He released Zhuo Huaimo, wrapped him tightly in a blanket, and walked aside to answer the call.

“How is it?” Yu Feng Ran asked in a deep voice.

“The person is with me. Things are escalating faster than expected. This time, he…”

Yu Feng Ran didn’t need to finish the sentence; Qi Yanwang already understood.

He turned slightly, his lowered voice carrying a hint of suppressed anger,

“Did you find out? Who did it?”

Yu Feng Ran was silent for a moment, then spoke, “Gu Chen Zhou!”

Qi Yanwang looked back at Zhuo Huaimo on the sofa, his face pale, his knuckles white. He had the urge to kill.

He felt like an idiot. He should have eliminated this person before any action.

“I know!”

Yu Feng Ran said, “Don’t do anything rash. The top priority is to take care of him!”

Qi Yanwang gave a faint “Mmm” and hung up the phone directly.

He returned to the sofa and hugged Zhuo Huaimo tightly, trying to transmit all his body heat to him, hoping that this heart that beat only for him could give him a moment of peace.

“Don’t go looking for him!”

On the way back, Zhuo Huaimo had already figured out who would be so vile and ruthless.

Qi Yanwang didn’t speak, just held him tighter.

“I said, don’t go looking for him!”

Zhuo Huaimo’s hoarse voice carried an undeniable insistence, “This time, it’s really over!”

He paused, then continued, “I probably won’t be able to stay in this industry anymore. Xingyue will also be implicated! Fortunately, I gave you those 10% of the shares in advance, so at least you won’t be dragged down by me.”

Qi Yanwang’s heart felt like it had been stabbed hard. This man who kept telling him “we’ll break up in three months” was still thinking of him at this time.

He felt like a complete bastard!

Endless heartache and guilt flooded him.

“It’s different, it’s different. I never wanted to hurt him. Everything I have is his. I’m not like that bastard Gu Chen Zhou!”

Qi Yanwang hugged Zhuo Huaimo even tighter, constantly kissing the top of his head, a gesture that seemed to reassure the other man, but in reality, he needed more strength to support him, to confirm that the person in his arms would never know the truth, would always belong to him.

He murmured, “Don’t worry, with me here, nothing will happen to you. I won’t let anything happen to you. You won’t lose everything! From now on, you’ll stay at home, and I’ll earn money. Everything I have is yours. You can still fish and sunbathe on the island you want…”

Qi Yanwang kept painting the most beautiful future for him, a future that made Zhuo Huaimo yearn for it.

If only such a future were real, how wonderful it would be.

Unfortunately, they broke up, they were destined not to be together.

That was true before, and now, he shouldn’t drag him down even more.

Zhuo Huaimo gently pushed him away, “We’ve already…”

“Don’t move!”

Qi Yanwang’s voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of undeniable dominance,

“Let me hold you for a while.”

“Qi Yanwang!” Zhuo Huaimo’s voice was very weak, but it carried a chill.

Qi Yanwang still didn’t let go, “It’s not over yet. Strictly speaking, today is the last day. The calendar in your office clearly circled today. We…”

His voice choked, and warm liquid flowed down his face and onto the back of Zhuo Huaimo’s neck.

Zhuo Huaimo’s gaze fell on the clock on the wall. There were still two hours left. So, they could still be together for two hours. How sad, and how extravagant.

After twelve o’clock, he would completely lose his career and completely lose Qi Yanwang.

The clock on the wall ticked, time passing by second by second.

He suddenly felt a bit like Cinderella in a fairy tale. Unfortunately, his fairy godmother didn’t appear. He only had Qi Yanwang in his arms, making him feel like this dream wasn’t over yet.

This realization filled his heart with an unspeakable sorrow and despair.

He suddenly didn’t want to be rational anymore, didn’t want to restrain himself anymore, just wanted to indulge himself at this moment, to wallow in Qi Yanwang’s embrace.

“Qi Yanwang…” Zhuo Huaimo’s voice was very soft, with a tremor.

Qi Yanwang looked down at him, his eyes deep and gentle,

“Mmm?”

Zhuo Huaimo didn’t answer, but suddenly raised his hand to hook his neck and took the initiative to kiss his lips.

This kiss came suddenly, but with a sense of decisiveness.

Zhuo Huaimo’s lips were cool and soft, faintly exuding a bitter medicinal taste. This scent instantly made Qi Yanwang lose his mind.

He raised his hand and gently stroked the back of Zhuo Huaimo’s head, pulling him closer, their lips meeting, gently but urgently deepening the kiss.

Their breaths intertwined, gradually becoming rapid, the air filled with a lingering atmosphere.

Qi Yanwang’s hand unconsciously slid down Zhuo Huaimo’s waist, his fingertips gently touching the hem of his shirt, his movements cautious, as if afraid to disturb the person in front of him.

“Before twelve o’clock, you must leave my house.”

Taking advantage of the last bit of reason, Zhuo Huaimo earnestly instructed again, his tone with an undeniable firmness,

“Otherwise, you’ll never see me again.”

Qi Yanwang breathed rapidly, his arms tightly wrapped around Zhuo Huaimo, kissing him again, his voice low and hoarse,

“Isn’t it a little late to say this now?”

Zhuo Huaimo reached out and gently pressed against Qi Yanwang’s chest, his eyes stubborn,

“Promise me.”

“Okay.”

Qi Yanwang agreed, then picked up Zhuo Huaimo and walked towards the bedroom,

“If you’re still awake then.”

Moonlight streamed into the room through the window, Qi Yanwang’s movements were gentle, the friction of clothing making soft sounds.

The two were immersed in this atmosphere filled with longing and reluctance, as if to deeply imprint each other’s everything in their hearts.

That night, time seemed to stand still, only each other’s companionship and comfort remained.

Qi Yanwang used actions to prove that sentence,

“If you’re still awake!”

In the middle of the night, he woke up, his body aching all over, staring blankly at the ceiling, and couldn’t help but chuckle,

“To have stamina to this extent, is this still a human body?”

He turned his head to look at his side; the person was already gone.

“Fortunately, he listened this time!”

He casually picked up the phone on the bedside table, wanting to check the time. There were seventeen missed calls on the phone, all from Yu Feng Ran.

Zhuo Huaimo immediately called back, “What’s wrong? Why so urgent?”

“Qi Yanwang went to find Gu Chen Zhou!”

With just that one sentence, Zhuo Huaimo immediately got up, put on his clothes, and headed straight for the garage.

“Give me the address, I’ll be right there!”

Along the way, he kept praying, please don’t let anything happen, please don’t let anything happen!

He hated himself for taking a chance, for indulging in a moment of tenderness, how could he forget those bloody lessons.

Zhuo Huaimo’s temples were throbbing, and he slammed the accelerator to the floor!

On the other side, Qi Yanwang had already arrived at Gu Chen Zhou’s villa.

Gu Chen Zhou didn’t seem surprised at all by his arrival, slumped on the sofa, a cigar dangling from his mouth, his smile very sinister.

“Yo, a rare guest, I’ve been waiting for you!”

Qi Yanwang looked at him coldly, his voice low and icy,

“Did you release the video?”

Gu Chen Zhou nodded, not hiding anything, “How is it? Are you satisfied? Have you thought about how to thank me?”

Qi Yanwang’s fingers slowly slid across the sofa, “Have you thought about it? How to die?”

Gu Chen Zhou chuckled, his tone with a hint of mockery,

“What qualifications do you have to lecture me? Zhuo Huaimo’s three-month dog?”

He took a deep breath of smoke, “Besides, you haven’t done anything upright either. Aren’t I helping you?”

Qi Yanwang’s hand paused, raising an eyebrow to look at him,

“What do you mean?”

Gu Chen Zhou slowly stood up and walked up to him,

“Do I need to remind you? Who leaked the script of “Early Spring” to me?”

Qi Yanwang’s heart sank, and he looked at Gu Chen Zhou with murderous intent.

Gu Chen Zhou pretended to panic, patted his shoulder,

“Yo, I’ve only said one thing, why do you have that expression? Do you want me to continue?”

He walked behind him, “You exposed your intimate photos before, knowing that Zhuo Huaimo would pay the breach of contract fees for you two, right? Then you took advantage of the Xingyue’s stock price plummeting to acquire a lot with overseas companies, right? If I’m not mistaken, plus the 10% that Zhuo Huaimo gave you before, you should be the largest shareholder of Xingyue now!”

He laughed to the sky, “Oh, and this time, I helped you release the video, and the stock price fell again. Your good partner, Liu Jinchen, also helped you acquire a lot, right? Shouldn’t you thank me?”

Qi Yanwang never expected that Gu Chen Zhou would find out so much, his fists clenched so hard that they cracked, his eyes filled with suppressed anger.

But he couldn’t explode now, and he didn’t dare to explode. He couldn’t imagine the consequences of Zhuo Huaimo learning all of this.

He knew that Gu Chen Zhou was waiting for him here, definitely for a reason.

Since he had a reason, then they could talk.

Gu Chen Zhou patted his shoulder, “I really didn’t expect that Zhuo Huaimo’s little wolf dog could bite even harder than I thought!”

Qi Yanwang took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said,

“Tell me, what do you want?”

Once this question was asked, it implicitly acknowledged all of Gu Chen Zhou’s previous accusations.

*Bang—*

A heavy wooden door behind him opened, and Gu Chen Zhou’s men intercepted Zhuo Huaimo as soon as he arrived and brought him here.

Qi Yanwang’s heart suddenly fell into an ice cave, completely unable to breathe…
