My Arranged Marriage Partner Has Two Faces 41p1

Chapter 41 p1

On the day of the wedding photoshoot, Xi Shi had urgent work to attend to. It was a project with the Xu family, and the deadline was tight, so he had to go to the company early.

When Zhong Yuxiao went to Chenxi International to pick him up, he had a sullen face, clearly in a bad mood.

Xi Shi found it amusing and deliberately said, “You were the one who asked me to collaborate with Xu Linfeng, tsk tsk, now you’re shooting yourself in the foot.”

Zhong Yuxiao was frustrated but couldn’t refute it, inwardly cursing Xu Linfeng.

The secretary knocked on the door and brought Xi Shi a cup of coffee. Zhong Yuxiao thought his would also be coffee, but when he took it, it was milk tea.

The secretary glanced at Xi Shi, who was busy working, lowered his voice, and explained with a smile, “CEO Xi specifically instructed that Madam likes sweet things, so we even added milk tea to the company’s afternoon tea options.”

Ever since Xi Shi had the employees call him “Madam,” this strange form of address had stuck.

Zhong Yuxiao held the milk tea and nodded reservedly. “Thank you.”

The milk tea was strawberry flavored, sweet and sour.

Zhong Yuxiao wasn’t fond of strawberries originally, but preferences seemed to be contagious, just like couples’ similarities. Xi Shi liked strawberries, and he had gradually come to like them too.

They should have been picking strawberries in the greenhouse right now.

Thinking of their disrupted plans, Zhong Yuxiao became angry again.

“Do you still have those haircut cards?”

“Huh?” Xi Shi took a couple of seconds to react and nodded. “Yes, why? Are you planning another adventure?”

He took a few seconds away from his work and carefully observed Zhong Yuxiao. Saying that he couldn’t pull off a buzz cut was deliberate. Zhong Yuxiao’s face could handle any hairstyle, but he preferred Zhong Yuxiao’s current look, refined and gentle.

“Not for me, for Xu Linfeng.” Zhong Yuxiao took a big gulp of milk tea. “His hair is too long, it’s an eyesore.”

His hair isn’t even as long as yours.

Xi Shi muttered inwardly, knowing that Zhong Yuxiao was angry, and readily agreed. “Indeed, an eyesore. I’ll give him the rest of the haircut cards when we meet later, let him get a year-long membership.”

Zhong Yuxiao was finally satisfied. “Wife, you’re so good~”

Xi Shi: “…”

Because he didn’t let Zhong Yuxiao call him “husband” the first time, Zhong Yuxiao hadn’t called him that since. When he was in a good mood, he would call him “wife.” When he was in a bad mood… heh, this guy would pin him down and make him cry “husband.”

Thinking about it, Xi Shi felt aggrieved. He, the renowned number one top in Lincheng, how did he end up like this?

“I still prefer how you used to address me.” The brave CEO Xi made his request.

Zhong Yuxiao tilted his head and called out, “Xiao Cao Xi?”

Previously, when the two families were discussing the wedding, Zhong Mu and Xi Chongyang mentioned Xi Yue. Zhong Mu said, “A child with a mother is like a treasure, a child without a mother is like a blade of grass.” Zhong Yuxiao immediately changed Xi Shi’s contact name.

From “Xiao Cao Xi” to “Xiao Bao Xi,” similar to “Little Treasure’s Treasure” in the family group chat.

The little sheep had eaten the grass and now treated it as a treasure.

Because he cared, he even carefully considered a nickname on his phone.

Zhong Yuxiao raised his eyebrows, his tone meaningful. “Want to feed the little sheep?”

Xi Shi’s face was expressionless. “Can you stop filling your mind with worldly desires?”

The words Zhong Yuxiao used to say to him were now being thrown back at him.

“Fine.” Zhong Yuxiao shrugged, not angry at all, and winked playfully. “Just tell me when you want to feed the little sheep. Your exclusive little sheep is ready, anytime, anywhere, at your service.”

Fuck, he was smitten. Acting coquettishly with a serious face was really effective.

Xi Shi cleared his throat and picked up a document.

Zhong Yuxiao smacked his lips, the strawberry flavor making his words sound sweet. “The office is also fine~”

Office?
Desk, floor-to-ceiling window, chair… Xi Shi’s ears felt hot, and he could no longer look at the office directly.

“Why is your face so red?”

Zhong Yuxiao rested his chin on his hand. His hair had grown quite a bit recently, almost reaching his chin, and he had tied it up in a small bun today for the photoshoot.

“Could it be that you’re thinking about something inappropriate? Let me guess.” He walked closer, placed his hands on the desk, and said with a playful smile, “The office?”

Blood rushed to his head, and Xi Shi’s face flushed crimson.

This was the downside of having fair skin. Even if you were just a little bit shy, you would blush easily, and it would be obvious.

Xi Shi used to boast about being thick-skinned, not even knowing what blushing felt like. After meeting Zhong Yuxiao, however, he had experienced all kinds of blushing: from anger, from embarrassment, and from sexual arousal.

The latter wasn’t common, only happening when the little sheep grazed the grass almost bald.

Zhong Yuxiao understood.

No need to answer, case closed.

“How about we postpone the photoshoot for a day? Otherwise, running back and forth, if you get tired, I’ll feel sorry for you.”

Considerate words, earning him a scoff.

He knew what Zhong Yuxiao was thinking. Postponing the photoshoot meant he wouldn’t be able to walk out of the office on his own two legs today. Zhong Yuxiao’s way of showing concern was to fuck him until he couldn’t get out of bed, letting him “rest properly.”

“The office, absolutely not, don’t even think about it.”

“Tsk.”

Zhong Yuxiao pretended to sigh. “Wife, you’ve changed.”

The word “wife” instantly reminded Xi Shi of how the office topic started. His goal wasn’t to unlock a new location for their activities, but to make Zhong Yuxiao change his form of address.

“Change how you address me.”

Since things had come to this, how could Zhong Yuxiao not know what he really wanted to hear?

“Change to what? I don’t understand, dear wife.”

Xi Shi looked at him intently, and Zhong Yuxiao smiled innocently. “I really don’t know.”

He suspected Zhong Yuxiao was messing with him.

Xi Shi was skeptical and cautious. He didn’t speak, but picked up a pen and wrote two words on Zhong Yuxiao’s hand – husband.

“I like you calling me this.”

Tsk tsk, the little grass had become smarter, harder to fool.

Zhong Yuxiao didn’t pretend not to recognize the words, but he didn’t say them out loud either. He took the pen from Xi Shi’s hand and wrote two words on Xi Shi’s hand – wife.

“Alright, our identities are confirmed, now we don’t have to worry about people mistaking who the real ‘madam’ is when we go out.”

“…”

News report: Chenxi International CEO and partner suspected of physical altercation, biting each other’s lips.

The pen ink was difficult to wash off, and Xi Shi signed the contract with Xu Linfeng with two flamboyant characters on his hand.

Xu Linfeng, being Zhong Yuxiao’s friend, immediately recognized his handwriting. “Hehe, did Night stamp CEO Xi?”

He never thought Zhong Yuxiao would fall for Xi Shi.

Before returning to China, Zhong Yuxiao said his fiancé was eager to get married, that his family wanted him to marry him. In less than two months, his attitude had completely changed, and he was even planning the wedding himself.

Two playful tops actually ended up together, he felt sorry for the gay community.

A glint of danger flashed in Xi Shi’s eyes, and he inconspicuously took out the haircut cards. “A gift from a business partner, you can try it if you have time. I heard the feng shui there is good, very beneficial for business negotiations.”

Xu Linfeng was in a critical period of competing with Xu Chengyue, and his eyes lit up at the mention of business. “Really?”

Xi Shi’s buzz cut was too striking to ignore, and Xu Linfeng’s intelligence briefly returned. He asked suspiciously, “Is that where you got your haircut?”

If the price of a successful business deal was sacrificing his hair, he needed to consider carefully. He wasn’t as handsome as the young master, able to pull off both green hair and a buzz cut.

“No.” Xi Shi denied it without hesitation.

“Then your hair…”

“Zhong Er wanted a shaved head, but he’s not as handsome as me, he can’t pull off a buzz cut, so I cut my hair.” Xi Shi waved his hand casually, like a considerate husband. “Just some hair, it’s worth it to make my wife happy.”

Xu Linfeng was dumbfounded.

So Zhong Yuxiao was the wife?!

Leaving, he ran into Zhong Yuxiao and gave him a disapproving look from afar. “Night, how could you be so spineless!”

A renowned top abroad, he actually lost to Lincheng’s number one top after returning to China. Xu Linfeng sighed deeply. The pain of having your ship sink, who could understand?

Zhong Yuxiao: “?”

“But your hairstyle is quite unique, hehe.”

Shaved head, cool!

It would be fun to try a monk roleplay sometime, a seductive man seducing a virtuous monk, doing this and that, just the thought was exciting.

Anyway, he couldn’t watch Zhong Yuxiao and Xi Shi in bed, it didn’t matter who was the top.

Zhong Yuxiao was puzzled. What was he talking about?

“What did you tell him?” Zhong Yuxiao looked at Xu Linfeng’s suggestive expression with disgust and discreetly asked Xi Shi.

“He probably went crazy from happiness after signing the contract, like Fan Jin after passing the imperial examination.” Xi Shi pulled Zhong Yuxiao away. “Let’s go eat strawberries.”

He couldn’t let Zhong Yuxiao know he was talking about him like that behind his back. This guy was very vengeful and would definitely make trouble for him.

“Eat strawberries?” Zhong Yuxiao’s expression became subtle.

He couldn’t help but put the ring on Xi Shi’s finger earlier. The strawberry farm proposal plan had to be changed to a strawberry farm wedding photoshoot, but to surprise Xi Shi, he only said they were going to the suburbs, not specifying the location.

How did Xi Shi know about the strawberries?

Zhong Yuxiao pondered.

Xi Shi hadn’t realized anything was wrong and said casually, “You bought a year’s worth of strawberries, isn’t it a waste not to eat them?”

“How did you know I bought a year’s worth of strawberries?”
