Chapter 12: A Normal Man’s Reaction

On the way back, Qi Luzhi pursed his lips and didn’t say a word, driving the car extremely fast.

Lian Xun really disliked this atmosphere of unspoken words and started talking to himself.

“My father, Lian Yishan, and Jingqian Ge’s father, Gao Yi, were entrepreneurial partners when they were young. The two of them managed to build a career in Shangjiang City. Later, they both married and had children.”

“My mother was my father’s third wife, not really a wife in the strict sense, as they weren’t formally married. She seemed to have a good relationship with Uncle Gao Yi as well. When I was little, Jingqian Ge often came to my house to play. Besides my mother, he was the second person who was nice to me.”

“Seven years ago, a sudden fire broke out in my house. My mother and Uncle Gao both died in the fire. My father said it was just an accident. A month later, our whole family moved abroad and lost contact with the Gao family.”

After going abroad, Lian Xun learned that he had several half-siblings he had never met before, who had been raised elsewhere.

He made a scene, demanding to return to China, and was locked up for a month, cut off from all contact with the outside world. After narrowly escaping with his life and regaining his freedom, he contacted Qi Luzhi as soon as possible, but the other party had changed all his contact information.

He probably resented him for leaving without saying goodbye and didn’t want to see him again.

“Qi Luzhi, I really didn’t want to separate from you back then.”

Lian Xun felt wronged but didn’t want to make pointless explanations.

“I know.” Qi Luzhi paused, then continued to ask, “If you didn’t want to separate, then why did you say those things to me on the phone?”

“What phone?” Lian Xun didn’t understand what Qi Luzhi was talking about.

“Forget it, let bygones be bygones.”

Qi Luzhi didn’t want to pursue the rights and wrongs of that year anymore. However, seeing Lian Xun’s puzzled expression, he always felt that there seemed to be some hidden misunderstanding between the two of them back then.

Maybe he was just overthinking it.

“It’s too late today, so just stay at my house,” Qi Luzhi changed the subject.

“Okay.”

At some point, it had become commonplace for Lian Xun to stay overnight at Qi Luzhi’s house.

After taking a shower, Lian Xun came to the Bedroom, his bathrobe draped loosely over his body, revealing half of his shoulder and collarbone.

“Want to do it?” Lian Xun asked.

Anyway, every time he came here, that thing was inevitable.

Qi Luzhi leaned against the bed, propping his head up with one hand, his gaze sweeping over Lian Xun’s exposed fair skin, and he swallowed.

“Let’s sleep,” Qi Luzhi turned over, leaving half the space empty.

He no longer regarded Lian Xun as a bed-warming tool, so theoretically, he shouldn’t sleep with him casually anymore.

Lian Xun was stunned for a moment, then climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Qi Luzhi.

After a long time, even breathing came from beside him. Lian Xun turned his head to look at Qi Luzhi, who was facing away from him, and whispered, “Are you asleep?”

Qi Luzhi didn’t react at all.

Lian Xun boldly hugged him from behind, nuzzling his head against Qi Luzhi’s neck, inhaling the pleasant scent of his shower gel.

And the unique scent that belonged to Qi Luzhi, which Lian Xun was fascinated by.

Qi Luzhi opened his eyes slightly, then closed them again, pretending not to know anything.

It had been less than ten minutes since he lay down, of course he wasn’t asleep.

Lian Xun behind him was not at all well-behaved, sometimes rubbing his hand across his waist, sometimes draping his entire leg over his leg, and finally even sticking his whole body to him.

Qi Luzhi suddenly felt something hard pressing against his back. His expression changed, and he reprimanded in a deep voice, “Lian Xun, behave yourself!”

Lian Xun was startled by Qi Luzhi’s sudden voice.

“You weren’t asleep?”

Qi Luzhi turned his head to look at Lian Xun, his eyes slightly disgusted, “Put that thing away.”

“I can’t help it. You know, I like you, and now we’re lying in the same bed. This is just a normal man’s reaction,” Lian Xun said, talking nonsense.

Qi Luzhi was speechless.

“Don’t you feel anything?” Lian Xun suddenly reached out and went for Qi Luzhi’s lower body.

Qi Luzhi was caught red-handed, his body shuddered, and he grabbed Lian Xun’s hand with a violent force, flipping him over and pinning him underneath.

“Do you know what you’re doing?”

Qi Luzhi’s eyes were red, and he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.

“I know.” Lian Xun’s heart was pounding like a drum, and his breathing began to be unsteady.

“You actually… like me, right? Otherwise, how could you react with just a little teasing?”

“Shut up!”

Qi Luzhi didn’t want to discuss the question of whether he liked him or not. Right now, he needed to put out the fire.

An aggressive kiss landed, and Lian Xun groaned, slowly closing his eyes.

He thought that Qi Luzhi at least had a physiological attraction to him, which was perhaps a good thing.

…

The next morning.

Qi Luzhi rarely didn’t leave Lian Xun alone and leave first, and even made him breakfast.

The corners of Lian Xun’s mouth were hard to suppress as he sat at the dining table.

He deliberately ate very slowly, wanting to spend more time with Qi Luzhi.

“Is your car parked at our company?” Qi Luzhi suddenly asked.

“Yes.”

Lian Xun drove to Sheng Shao Group yesterday, and after attending the banquet with Qi Luzhi, he went straight back to the Villa.

“Eat quickly, I’ll give you a ride to the company,” Qi Luzhi raised his hand to look at his watch and urged expressionlessly.

Lian Xun pouted and sped up his movements.

“Your company is so far away. Every time I come to see you, I have to drive for so long,” Lian Xun complained.

Putting aside his selfish desire to see Qi Luzhi, Lian Xun had indeed been frequently going to Sheng Shao Group recently because of the new project. He had to go two or three times a week, which was quite exhausting.

“Why don’t I move the project team to your company to work? What do you think?”

Lian Xun felt like he was a genius. He could even think of this method. This would not only speed up the project progress, but he could also see Qi Luzhi at any time.

Mainly, he could see Qi Luzhi at any time!

“Your company is so big, just clearing out an Office would be enough for me.”

“I’m doing this to better advance the project. You… consider it?”

Qi Luzhi leaned back in his chair, looking at Lian Xun in front of him with an expectant expression, seemingly seriously considering the feasibility of this matter.

He could see through Lian Xun’s little thoughts at a glance. Whether he agreed or not was just a matter of his word.

“Please?”

Lian Xun blinked his clear, innocent eyes, and no one could bear to refuse him.

“Okay, but only for the duration of the project,” Qi Luzhi still looked indifferent.

“Okay,” Lian Xun said with a smile.

Great, he was one step closer to Qi Luzhi!

Taking him down was just around the corner!

Back at Xun Qi Technologies, Lian Xun called his little Assistant immediately.

“Notify everyone to pack up their usual office supplies.”

“We’re moving!”
