Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 17

Chapter 17

In the Qi family, Qi Feiluan, who had finished dinner early, nestled in the living room with Qi’s father and Qi’s mother to watch TV for a while, and congratulated each other after midnight.

Mrs. Qi Feiluan doesn’t come back often, and it’s inevitable that the three of them will feel a little alienated and awkward when getting along.

Before Qi’s mother was about to go back to her room, Qi’s mother stopped Qi Feiluan and said, “Your room is ready, you can just sleep.”

Qi Feiluan nodded.

Seeing his obedient appearance, Qi’s mother couldn’t help but step forward to hug him and said, “You should also go to bed early.”

Qi Feiluan watched Qi’s mother go back to her room and close the door before he turned and walked towards his room.

Opening the door, he found that this room, which he had rarely lived in, was clean and tidy, and the large bed looked soft and comfortable.

Even if he doesn’t come back often, Qi’s father and Qi’s mother still keep his room, clean it frequently and make the bed so that he can stay there anytime as long as he comes back.

Qi Feiluan felt that his whole body had softened, and the previous alienation and embarrassment seemed to have been soaked in warm water and was slowly disappearing.

Not long after Qi Feiluan lay down on the bed, his cell phone rang, and the caller ID was Ji Xingyuan.

Lying on the soft and fragrant bed, Qi Feiluan’s first reaction was not to answer the call. He looked at the name on the screen and listened to the phone ringing for more than ten seconds, and finally answered the call.

After picking up the phone, the person on the other side said nothing, and Qi Feiluan also waited in silence.

After a long time, Ji Xingyuan said, “Come pick me up.”

Qi Feiluan sighed inwardly, sat up and said, “Where are you? The party has just ended? Are the security personnel with you? Let them take you back to Ji’s Manor.”

Ji Xingyuan on the other side of the phone was quiet for a while, as if digesting his words, and then said: “I want to see you at the winery.”

Winery?Jijia Winery?

Qi Feiluan realized that Ji Xingyuan was probably drunk, so no wonder he was a little slow in replying.

“Are you at Jijia Winery? Who is with you now? I’ll be there soon.”

Ji Xingyuan did not answer the question, but slowly replied: “Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Qi Feiluan quickly changed his clothes, opened the door and left the room prepared for himself. He paused, looked back, closed the door and left Qi’s house quietly.

After getting in the car and setting the destination for the autonomous driving, Qi Feiluan set a timer for Qi and his father to send a message until tomorrow morning, telling them that he had been temporarily called away by Ji Xingyuan.

By the time Qi Feiluan arrived at Jijia Winery, it was already past three in the morning.

Most of the entire winery was unlit, with only one room still lit, like a beast quietly dormant in the dark, waiting for the light to lure its prey.

Qi Feiluan walked into the winery and saw the security personnel he arranged outside the room that was still lit. He asked: “Mr. Ji is inside?”

The security guard nodded and said, “Yes, there are Mr. Bai and Mr. Jian.”

“Got it.”

Qi Feiluan opened the door, and bright and cold light leaked from a gap. He walked in and saw Ji Xingyuan sitting on a chair and staring at the door.

Ji Xingyuan was wearing a meticulous dress, and still looked impeccable from the outside. He seemed to be able to return to the center of the party crowd in the next moment and continue to be the center of attention.

But when Qi Feiluan saw the look in Ji Xingyuan’s eyes, he knew that he was probably a little drunk, but he didn’t know how drunk he was.

Among the three of them, Bai Hanxu had crawled on the table and fell asleep, while Jian Junshuang was the only one who was still awake.

When Jian Junshuang saw Qi Feiluan, he stretched out his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose and said, “I asked the bodyguard to take him back to Ji’s manor, or asked Butler Ji to pick him up, but he was unwilling. He insisted on you coming over, and I’m troubling you so late.”

“Within duty.”

Qi Feiluan walked up to Ji Xingyuan and asked him, “Are you going back to Ji’s manor now?”

Ji Xingyuan stared at him, nodded slightly slowly, then stood up and walked out.

Qi Feiluan turned to look at Jian Junshuang and Bai Hanxu. Before he could say anything, Jian Junshuang said, “I’ll just take Hanxu home.”

Qi Feiluan nodded and said: “I will have the security personnel separate and accompany us.”

After Qi Feiluan and Jian Junshuang finished their exchange, they turned around and walked quickly towards Ji Xingyuan.

Ji Xingyuan just stood up and walked to the door, opened it, and then found that Qi Feiluan did not follow him. He stopped and stood there waiting for him.

After Qi Feiluan walked to him, he communicated with the security personnel waiting outside the door and asked two of them to see off Jian Junshuang and Bai Hanxu, while the rest got into another car and followed them.

After Qi Feiluan took care of everything, he and Ji Xingyuan got into the car together.

Ji Xingyuan was fine on the way out of the winery. When he was blown away by the night breeze when he walked out of the winery, Qi Feiluan realized that he was shaking when he walked.

He quickly reached out to help Ji Xingyuan and helped him into the car.

As the car drove towards the Ji family manor, Qi Feiluan leaned back in his chair and sent a message to the manor’s housekeeper Ji and the servants, asking them to prepare to pick up Ji Xingyuan at the door and prepare honey water to relieve the hangover.

After he finished sending the message, he found Ji Xingyuan looking sideways at him again.

Ji Xingyuan has never been drunk before. He has a good drinking capacity and is very restrained. Due to his status, no one dares to drink from him. Qi Feiluan estimates that today is the most drunk he has ever been.

Even though Ji Xingyuan was so drunk, he still instinctively maintained his image so that others could not tell from the outside.

In the eyes of others, he is the top Alpha and the alpha wolf. He must be always strong, always invulnerable, and always intimidating in order to lead the entire pack.

Only when Qi Feiluan met his eyes and looked at her, could she realize that under Ji Xingyuan’s impeccable appearance, the door was open only to him.

Qi Feiluan withdrew his gaze and turned to look out the window, letting Ji Xingyuan’s eyes stay on him.

It is undeniable that he will be moved by Ji Xingyuan every time and will be made weak by him.

The most deceptive thing in this world is specialness and uniqueness.

This powerful, majestic, naturally superior Alpha showed his weakness and softness to only one Beta, and was willing to focus on one person, as if that person was the only one to him.

This can give that person delusions and illusions that they are loved by the other person.

The human being snatched away by the evil dragon and brought to his cave is essentially no different from the treasures possessed by the evil dragon.It’s ridiculous that the human thought that he was not eaten like other people because the evil dragon was so fond of him and so special.

All the way to Ji’s Manor, Ji Xingyuan stumbled and almost fell when he got out of the car. The servant who had been waiting outside the door hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but Ji Xingyuan raised his hand to stop him.

Ji Xingyuan couldn’t stand still and turned to look at Qi Feiluan. Qi Feiluan could only step forward to support him and signaled the servant to leave it alone and open the door first.

Ji Xingyuan’s half body weight rested on Qi Feiluan’s body. He was tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. His smooth and toned muscles adhered to such a frame. Naturally, he was not light in weight. Pressing on Qi Feiluan’s body was like a mountain toppling over.

Qi Feiluan pushed his body with his shoulder, and put an arm around Ji Xingyuan’s waist to support him. He could feel the tough and elastic touch of the muscles under his hands through the woolen coat.

Ji Xingyuan seemed to be very drunk, his body weight was leaning more and more towards Qi Feiluan, and he asked him: “Why don’t you speak?”

Why don’t you ask yourself why you called him so late?

Why not ask him why he was drunk?

Why…why…why are you still willing to pick him up?

It was a cold wind in the capital city in the early morning of January. The two got out of the car, but they were only delayed for a while before they were chilled all over.

Qi Feiluan actually heard a bit of grievance in his words. He sighed, not wanting to get involved with the drunk person, and said, “Let’s go in first. Can we still leave?”

Ji Xingyuan quieted down when he heard him speak and tried his best to stand up straight.

Qi Feiluan helped Ji Xingyuan walk into the room and dragged him to the sofa to sit down.

The servant promptly brought out two cups of warm honey water and placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Qi Feiluan picked up a glass, handed it to Ji Xingyuan who was sitting on the sofa, and said, “Drink some honey to relieve the hangover, and then go and rest quickly.”

Ji Xingyuan reached out to take the cup, and then used his other hand to grab Qi Feiluan’s wrist that wanted to take it back. He drank up the honey water in several gulps, put the cup back on the coffee table, then pulled Qi Feiluan closer to him, put his arms around Qi Feiluan’s waist, buried his face in his waist, and said dullly: “I just want to see you.”

He paused and added another emphasis: “I really want to see you.”

After listening to Jian Junshuang and Bo Hanxu’s analysis and suggestions, Ji Xingyuan was also a little drunk. When Jian Junshuang asked if he wanted to notify someone to pick him up, Ji Xingyuan was at a loss for a while, and the first thing that came to his mind was Qi Feiluan.

He wanted to see Qi Feiluan very much, wanted him to pick him up, wanted to see his face and hear his voice.

But Qi Feiluan actually came to pick him up, but he didn’t say anything, didn’t ask anything, and didn’t complain about why he was asked to pick him up at the winery early in the morning even though he had given him a holiday.

It’s so quiet…

It shouldn’t be.

Since when did Qi Feiluan stop talking to him, instead always obeying orders silently?

Ji Xingyuan’s drunken mind was in chaos, but the arm holding Qi Feiluan tightened tighter and tighter, as if if he let go, the person in his arms would disappear in the next second.

Qi Feiluan smelled the alcohol on Ji Xingyuan’s body. Maybe he was drunk for a second, but only for a second. The next moment he sobered up and asked, “Is there anything else you need me to do? If not, I have to go back and rest. It’s 3:47 in the morning.”

Ji Xingyuan froze, and the arm holding Qi Feiluan relaxed, and then Qi Feiluan stretched out his hand to open it.

Qi Feiluan took a step back, pushed another glass of honey water on the table in the direction of Ji Xingyuan, and said, “Drink more honey water to relieve the hangover.”

After saying that, he turned and left.

As he was about to reach the door, he met the servant. The servant asked in surprise: “Mr. Qi, why don’t you stay and sleep for one night at this late hour?”

“No.” Qi Feiluan replied calmly, “I am still on vacation. Happy New Year.”

“Happy New Year’s Day.” The servant replied subconsciously, and then watched Qi Feiluan open the door with a look of confusion.
