    Chapter 52: Not Rushing Things

    “The food is burnt…”

    Qin Yuanging stood by the pot, sincerely reflecting on his mistake. He shouldn’t have made such an unreasonable request at this time.

    Li Chongge turned off the heat and then picked up his phone to order takeout.

    “Continue.”

    Qin Yuanging was led away from the smoky kitchen, the battlefield shifting to the sofa.

    Qin Yuanging leaned against the sofa with a dazed look. Li Chongge knelt on one knee beside him, leaning in close, his urgent touches and breath teasing every nerve in Qin Yuanging’s body.

    Forced to retreat repeatedly by the onslaught, Qin Yuanging was gradually becoming immersed when he suddenly snapped back to his senses, feeling somewhat indignant and starting to become suspicious.

    “Li Chongge, how are you so good at this?”

    Li Chongge liked to knead Qin Yuanging’s earlobes. Accused by Qin Yuanging’s gaze, his fingers tightened, deliberately rubbing the entire earlobe until it was red.

    But after turning red, it took on a different meaning. Li Chongge couldn’t resist leaning in, taking advantage of speaking to gently bite it, causing Qin Yuanging to let out a muffled groan.

    “Don’t like it?”

    Qin Yuanging narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to grab Li Chongge’s collar, pushing him away a bit.

    “You wouldn’t have had experience in this area, would you?”

    Li Chongge freed his collar, feeling both annoyed and helpless.

    “Until 7:41 PM yesterday, I had not hugged or kissed anyone. Qin Yuanging, it’s just that there are some things I’ve wanted to do for a long time.”

    In Li Chongge’s uncontrollable dreams, Qin Yuanging was always the only protagonist.

    Even when indulging in self-abandoned release, he would only silently whisper Qin Yuanging’s name.

    In Li Chongge’s world of desire, Qin Yuanging was both the initiation and the constant.

    Qin Yuanging successfully obtained the answer he wanted, and his heart instantly felt relieved. But sensing Li Chongge’s displeasure at this untimely questioning, he reached out and pulled him back, even a bit mischievously unbuttoning a button on Li Chongge’s shirt.

    He turned his head and kissed the corner of Li Chongge’s mouth in a dense and gentle manner, conveying a sense of comfort.

    “I was wrong, okay?”

    Li Chongge held the mischievous hand in place, lightly scolding with an unsteady breath, “Don’t be a nuisance.”

    Whether in his heart or body, Qin Yuanging had been ignited by Li Chongge, feeling a bit restless and wanting to release it, but Li Chongge did not grant his wish.

    “No need to rush, we have plenty of time.”

    He wanted to slowly and carefully explore and savor.

    This might take some time.

    He wasn’t in a hurry.

    Jiang Muyuan, having contributed a lot to Qin Yuanging and Li Chongge getting together, was fortunate enough to be the first to know.

    As for Sun Qihao, although he hadn’t been of much help, at least he hadn’t made a mess of things, so Qin Yuanging still notified him.

    But compared to Jiang Muyuan’s complete excitement, Sun Qihao had a hint of worry.

    “You and Li Chongge dared to take this step, so you shouldn’t just be thinking of playing around. But how are you going to explain it to your families? Let’s not mention your side for now, but you know Li Chongge’s family better than I do. They probably won’t let him have his way in this matter.”

    Sun Qihao didn’t want to pour cold water on them at this time, but Qin Yuanging was different from those drinking buddies in his heart. After all, they had grown up together, so he had to think more for Qin Yuanging.

    “I believe he can handle it.”

    Qin Yuanging knew better than anyone what the biggest obstacle to him being with Li Chongge was, but having come this far, retreating was impossible.

    Qin Yuanging could help in other areas, but how to deal with the family was up to him.

    But fortunately, Li Chongge’s personal abilities were terrifyingly strong. Qin Yuanging believed that even if he couldn’t come to an agreement, it wouldn’t lead to a complete falling out with his family.

    “It better be.”

    Sun Qihao didn’t want to say any more sarcastic remarks to upset Qin Yuanging, so he changed the subject, “This autumn, I always feel a chill everywhere. Zhang Zhaolin has a hotel in Mifeng Mountain with a very nice hot spring. It’s also a good time to see the maple leaves there. Why don’t we get together again and go there for a few days?”

    Qin Yuanging waved to Secretary Bai at the door, confirmed that there were no particularly important trips in the next few days, and then said, “Okay, but the time can’t be too long, about three days. I haven’t been back at Wansheng for long, and it’s not good to take vacations every now and then.”

    “Okay, I’ll call Zhang Zhaolin. After all, it’s his territory, so let him arrange it.”

    “Li Chongge wants to go with me.” Qin Yuanging paused and coughed a little embarrassedly, “One room will be fine for us.”

    Sun Qihao rolled his eyes, even though he knew Qin Yuanging couldn’t see him.

    His tone was as sarcastic as ever.

    “Don’t worry, the hotel has plenty of rooms, so it won’t wrong you two gentlemen. If you don’t want everyone to know so soon, I advise you to restrain yourselves a bit. Jiang Muyuan and I can keep our mouths shut, but others may not be so reliable.”

    Qin Yuanging thought it made sense, so he didn’t insist.

    Anyway, he didn’t plan to do anything outside.

    Half an hour after hanging up the phone, Sun Qihao sent a message saying that the time was set for this weekend, and the specifics would have to wait for Zhang Zhaolin to arrange.

    So Qin Yuanging sent a message to Li Chongge again, roughly explaining the plan and asking him, “Are you going? The scenery at Mifeng Mountain is nice, and Zhang Zhaolin’s hotel is right on the mountainside. You can see patches of maple forest without even going outside.”

    Because Qin Yuanging really wanted to go, his words were very suggestive.

    Li Chongge could easily see through what Qin Yuanging was thinking most of the time.

    So he quickly replied, “Yes, let’s go together.”

    Actually, Li Chongge would have preferred to go on vacation alone with Qin Yuanging, but since Qin Yuanging wanted to get together with friends, he would strongly support it.

    Li Chongge had always known that Qin Yuanging had many friends. He was righteous, generous, and interesting, with great personal charm, and never lacked people who liked him.

    Li Chongge was occasionally troubled by Qin Yuanging being so popular, but he never thought of isolating Qin Yuanging from his friends.

    Even now that Qin Yuanging had confirmed his relationship with him, Li Chongge still didn’t think he had the right to do so.

    Qin Yuanging was Li Chongge’s partner, but more importantly, he was himself.

    Because according to the original plan, Li Chongge would visit the Qin family villa on Friday evening, they decided to set off for Mifeng Mountain directly after dinner.

    Afraid of running into rush hour, Qin Yuanging told Qin Haoting and set off early to pick up Li Chongge.

    After Qin Yuanging took over the Huichuang project, Li Chongge used the excuse of work to reopen Qin Yuanging’s access to his private elevator.

    So when Qin Yuanging appeared in front of Li Chongge’s office, he didn’t even alarm Secretary Liu in the first instance.

    Qin Yuanging had already called Li Chongge before setting off. When he entered the office, he happened to see Li Chongge picking up his coat and preparing to go down to the garage.

    Li Chongge naturally had a sense of detachment. Even if he had engraved his upbringing and etiquette in his bones, he would always give people a feeling of keeping strangers away.

    But as soon as Qin Yuanging revealed a corner of his clothes, his brow quickly relaxed, and the innate sense of distance instantly disintegrated.

    “Let’s go, it’s perfect timing to go back now.” Qin Yuanging had left his coat in the car. Although the thin shirt and suit vest were very exquisite and elegant, they weren’t very warm.

    Li Chongge didn’t blame him for not wearing his clothes properly, but directly pulled him over and put his coat on him.

    “It’s not that exaggerated. I just came up from the garage and didn’t feel a single breeze.”

    “You’re the one who can catch a cold and have a fever from a little rain, not me.”

    Li Chongge brought up old grudges, while placing his palm on Qin Yuanging’s waist through the coat, thinking that he was really too thin.

    “You’re not the one who gets headaches and stomach aches all the time!”

    Li Chongge tightened the hand he had placed on Qin Yuanging’s waist, lowered his head, and held his entire earlobe in his mouth.

    “Since you’re not obedient, do you not want your ears anymore?”

    A tingling sensation spread from the earlobe to the whole body. Qin Yuanging almost instantly reacted. He wanted to hide it, but it was too late, because the two were too close, and Li Chongge easily felt his change.

    This situation was a bit beyond Li Chongge’s expectations. He couldn’t say that he hadn’t felt this change when the two kissed before, but today it was too fast. Even the culprit himself was a bit surprised.

    “You…”

    “Shut up!”

    Qin Yuanging clutched Li Chongge’s coat in shame and anger, quickly exited the door, feeling bitter in his heart.

    They were both men, so why was he so easily tempted?

    Thinking of the slightly surprised expression on Li Chongge’s face just now, Qin Yuanging was furious and secretly determined to make him lose his composure first!
