Before long, a knock sounded at the door.
“Come in.”
Click.
The door was pushed open from the outside. Li Lan took a step back and made a welcoming gesture. “President Yin, please come in!”
He Ran looked toward the sound and saw that the person arriving was indeed Yin Zheng. Today, Yin Zheng wore a pure white suit. His smooth, jet-black hair was tied loosely behind his head. He looked like a noble young master who had stepped straight out of a classical painting. His aura was as refined as an orchid and as gentle as jade. For a moment, one might forget they were in a modern skyscraper and feel as though they were in the poetic atmosphere of ancient times.
Upon seeing him, Yin Zheng smiled before even speaking. “President He, we meet again.”
Li Lan, standing a step behind him, had eyes that instantly lit up. It was clear she thought there was a story here! He Ran did not want the matter of his betrayal to become public knowledge, so he waved for Li Lan to leave. Although she felt it was a pity, Li Lan obediently exited and closed the door behind her.
“It is just the two of us here. You do not need to keep up this act.” He Ran pointed to the chair opposite him. “Sit.”
Yin Zheng seemed puzzled and sighed. “What President He said is a bit hurtful. I am truly happy to see you.” He approached and sat in the chair across the desk. He crossed one leg over the other and leaned back. Placing his interlaced fingers on his thigh, he smiled and said, “After all, it has been a long time since I met someone as interesting as you.”
He Ran gave a cold laugh. “No need for this nonsense. I presume President Yin did not come here today just to say these things.”
“Then what does President He think I am here for?”
He was such a wolf in sheep’s clothing! He Ran said indifferently, “That is a question for President Yin himself.”
Yin Zheng said, “We have not seen each other for so long, and you left in such a hurry yesterday that we did not get to catch up properly. How about I treat you tonight? We can sit down and have a drink.”
This bastard actually dared to mention yesterday! And who was “we”? They were not that close. He Ran cursed inwardly, but he said out loud, “President Yin must be joking. There is no catching up to be done between us.”
“Is that so?” Yin Zheng leaned forward, his elbows on the desk and his chin resting on his interlaced fingers. “Do you not want to know what Ji Yang and I did yesterday?”
He Ran’s expression shifted, and he looked at Yin Zheng with a cold, piercing gaze. “Yin Zheng, do not push your luck!”
The way He Ran looked when he was angry successfully amused Yin Zheng, who could not help but let out a soft laugh. “Why are you so angry? I was just joking with you.”
“Yin Zheng, for the sake of our past connection, I can overlook what happened between you and Ji Yang, but I will never allow you to use it to threaten me!” He Ran took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. “We are all adults. Since it was consensual, I have nothing to say. Since he has chosen to be with you again, please treat him well. Your current attitude makes me feel like Ji Yang was blind to choose the wrong person!”
After he finished speaking, Yin Zheng remained silent for a while, looking at him with a strange expression. After a long moment, Yin Zheng suddenly smiled radiantly and said, “He Ran, I agree with your words completely, but there is one thing you might have mistaken.” He wagged a slender finger in front of He Ran’s eyes. “Ji Yang and I have never been together, so how could we be together again?”
He Ran froze. “What do you mean?”
“Do you want to know the truth?” Yin Zheng stood up and smoothed out non-existent wrinkles on his suit. A tender curve rose at the corners of his lips. “Tonight at seven o’clock, I will wait for you at Huiyue. This is your only chance to learn the truth. We shall be there or be square.”
After speaking, he turned to leave. He paused as he opened the door, turned back, and smiled. “Oh! I almost forgot.” He pointed to one of the documents on the desk. “It was a pleasure doing business with you!”
Once the man was far away, He Ran could no longer help but curse, “You fox!”
Li Lan knocked and entered, asking tentatively, “President He, how did the talk go?”
He Ran flipped through the document on the desk and saw that two flamboyant characters had already been signed on the last page. His brain momentarily buzzed. So, Yin Zheng had come here specifically to play with him? It was going too far! He Ran slammed the document shut.
Huiyue was a high-end club in the city center. He Ran tossed his car keys to the security guard at the entrance and walked inside. Entering the familiar private room, he found that Chu Shenxing and Xue Yuanzhou had already arrived and were sitting on the leather sofa playing poker. Several slips of paper were already stuck to Xue Yuanzhou’s face.
Seeing him arrive, Xue Yuanzhou threw down his cards. “I am not playing anymore! This is ridiculous! I have not won even once!”
He Ran teased him, “Is playing cards with him not just asking for abuse?”
“He is just too slow.” Chu Shenxing felt bored from winning constantly and tossed his cards onto the table. “Playing with him offers no challenge at all.”
Xue Yuanzhou was exasperated. “Are you insulting me in a roundabout way?”
Chu Shenxing acted surprised. “You could actually tell? That is quite an achievement!”
Xue Yuanzhou was left speechless. He Ran laughed loudly. “Do not tease him anymore; be careful or he will cry for you.”
Xue Yuanzhou looked completely done. “Am I that childish in your eyes?”
Both He Ran and Chu Shenxing nodded together.
“Fine! You two are on the same side today. Ran-ge, do you not want me anymore?” Xue Yuanzhou spoke while grabbing He Ran’s arm and rubbing his head against He Ran’s neck.
He Ran pushed his head away with a look of disgust. “Get lost! Can you not speak properly?”
“I cannot!”
Chu Shenxing laughed from the side, egging them on. “Go for it, Yuanzhou! Do not back down!”
Xue Yuanzhou also laughed and started tickling the sensitive spots on He Ran’s waist.
“Hahaha! Hahahaha! Get lost! Hahahaha! You bastard! Let go of me!”
He Ran had the most ticklish spots on his waist. Being tickled there was like flipping a switch; he could not stop laughing and struggled on the sofa like a loach. “Hahahaha! Do you want to die, Xue Yuanzhou? Hahahaha!”
The more he struggled, the more excited Xue Yuanzhou became. He simply sat on top of He Ran to tickle him even harder. He Ran arched his back like a grasshopper, pushing him away weakly. Anyone who is ticklish knows that once someone touches those spots, you can only use half of your strength.
“Hahahaha! Xue Yuanzhou, you just wait! Chu Shenxing, why are you not helping me? Hahahaha!”
Chu Shenxing sat there calmly and said unhurriedly, “Alright, Yuanzhou. If you keep messing around, your Ran-ge is going to get angry.”
Hearing this, Xue Yuanzhou looked down. After all that rowdiness, He Ran’s clothes and hair were a complete mess. The buttons on his collar had popped open at some point, leaving half of his chest exposed. His cheeks were flushed, and he was out of breath. A pair of eyes, glistening with tears from laughing, were glaring at him angrily.
Xue Yuanzhou’s breath hitched slightly. He jumped up as if his rear were on fire and rushed out the door. “I am sorry, Ran-ge! I suddenly have an emergency. I have to go to the restroom!”
“Xue Yuanzhou, come back here!”
That damn brat actually used the bathroom escape! Chu Shenxing shook his head and remarked, “It is good to be young!”
