Chapter 98: Extra 4 – Modern CEO AU
Sheng Qianheng met Chu Yi’s gaze, staring at him intently. He didn’t speak until the elevator stopped on the B1 floor.
He shifted his gaze, trying his best to hide the sense of loss on his face. He had liked Chu Yi since he was a child, a secret hidden deep in his heart.
It was a fact that Chu Yi didn’t know. He shouldn’t be so disappointed.
“Liking is just liking. There’s no reason. If you must ask for a reason, then I can only say that I’ve liked you for a long time.”
Chu Yi caught a glimpse of Sheng Qianheng’s already flushed earlobes and unconsciously raised a hand to scratch his head.
He had the feeling that he was a heartless man. Sheng Qianheng shouldn’t be joking with him, right?
But how old was Sheng Qianheng? According to him, they were seven years apart, so he was only 22? A 22-year-old Sheng Qianheng had liked him for a long time. Was that possible?
They didn’t even know each other before. Or did they know each other before, but he just didn’t remember?
After much thought, Chu Yi was still clueless.
After walking to where Sheng Qianheng’s car was parked, Sheng Qianheng naturally opened the passenger door, and Chu Yi took the opportunity to get in.
He reached out and placed the handbag on the back seat, fastened his seatbelt, and quietly waited for Sheng Qianheng to drive.
It was strange. He was clearly the secretary, but after several times, it was always Sheng Qianheng, the boss, who drove.
Chu Yi asked, “Boss, why don’t I drive? After all, I’m your secretary… hehe.”
Sheng Qianheng supported himself on the steering wheel with one hand, his fingertips unconsciously tapping lightly, making a faint sound. “It’s after work now. You can call me by my pet name, A-Heng.”
Chu Yi frowned slightly. It was a little too intimate…
“Uh… how about we change the address?”
Sheng Qianheng licked his lips, stepped on the accelerator, and then continued, “Then what do you want to call me?”
Chu Yi didn’t know what to call him for a moment. Calling him by his pet name was too intimate, and calling him by his full name was too distant…
“Boss, I’ll just call you by your full name.”
Sheng Qianheng nodded. As long as he didn’t treat him as a boss.
The two of them arrived at the restaurant that Sheng Qianheng had booked in advance. The waiter led them into a private room.
After sitting down, Chu Yi saw Sheng Qianheng take the handbag from his hand, his face seemingly a little disappointed.
He looked down at his own suit, then glanced at the waiter. It seemed that his suit was the same as the waiter’s…
He looked at Sheng Qianheng again and asked weakly, “It seems that the clothes I’m wearing are really not convenient. Why don’t I go and change?”
Sheng Qianheng tilted his head slightly, took out the prepared clothes, and handed them to Chu Yi, feigning an indifferent look. “Do you need me to avoid you?”
Chu Yi shook his head. They were both men. What was there to mind? It was just that the waiter had to avoid them.
After Chu Yi had taken off his suit jacket, Sheng Qianheng watched as he unbuttoned his shirt one by one, his gaze fixed on the exposed fair skin.
His Adam’s apple bobbed unconsciously, and in an instant, he felt his mouth go dry.
Fearing that he would be impolite, he immediately turned his back, looked elsewhere, and closed his eyes to calm his wicked thoughts.
Seeing Sheng Qianheng’s action, the corners of Chu Yi’s lips turned up unconsciously. He was still young, after all.
He quickly took off his shirt, changed his clothes, and asked, “Sheng Qianheng, do you like men? Are you gay?”
Sheng Qianheng hummed in agreement, then refuted himself, “Not really. I can’t be called gay.”
Chu Yi was puzzled. What did that mean? He wasn’t gay but liked him? Wasn’t that a contradiction?
“Old… uh, Sheng Qianheng, didn’t you say you liked me? But you’re not gay? You’re so strange.”
Sheng Qianheng nodded. He sometimes felt that he was very strange too. He had liked Chu Yi since he was a teenager. He was simply a freak, a weirdo.
But he had no interest in other men.
He only liked Chu Yi.
“That’s right. I’m just very strange. But I just like you.”
Sheng Qianheng walked up to Chu Yi step by step, and the distance between the two of them was only a hair’s breadth.
Only the two of them were in the private room. Apart from their breathing, there was no other sound.
Chu Yi’s nose was suddenly filled with the faint scent on Sheng Qianheng. His heartbeat had, without him knowing, lost its speed.
He didn’t dare to look at Sheng Qianheng, for fear of losing his composure.
In all these years, no one had ever expressed their liking for him so directly.
Even if someone had sent him a love letter, and there had been face-to-face confessions.
But no one had ever been as direct as Sheng Qianheng, completely disregarding his feelings.
Logically, he should hate it, but for some reason, he was only a little troubled and had no feelings of disgust.
Chu Yi took a step back and reminded Sheng Qianheng, “I’m just having a meal with you. It doesn’t mean anything. After this meal, you’re still my boss, and I’m just your secretary.”
Seeing Chu Yi’s already flushed neck and cheeks, Sheng Qianheng let out a soft laugh and asked, “But you seem to be shy.”
Chu Yi covered his neck. “No!”
Sheng Qianheng: “Alright. If you say no, then no.”
After the waiter had served all the dishes, he saw that the two of them were wearing a couple’s set of clothes and took the opportunity to say, “I wish you two a memorable Qixi memory. Our shop also has a Qixi couple check-in event today. I wonder if you two are interested in participating?”
Chu Yi hadn’t even had time to express that he and Sheng Qianheng were not a couple when Sheng Qianheng was the first to speak, “What event? Tell me about it.”
The waiter introduced it one by one. Sheng Qianheng listened very seriously, and Chu Yi could only pretend that nothing had happened and eat his meal on his own.
After the waiter had withdrawn, Chu Yi finally said, “It’s just a photo-taking event with almost zero chance of winning. You also like to take advantage of such small things?”
Sheng Qianheng picked up food for Chu Yi. He just liked that the waiter thought they were a couple.
“It’s foolish not to take advantage of a good thing. Besides, he thought we were a couple. He has good taste.”
Chu Yi couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. “It’s just that we’re wearing a couple’s set. It’s not like you can’t arrange it. I’ll wash this suit and return it to you later.”
Sheng Qianheng didn’t care about a few suits. He just wanted to make Chu Yi happy. It would be best if he could really become his boyfriend.
Seeing that Sheng Qianheng didn’t reply and was only picking up food for him, he pinched Sheng Qianheng’s wrist to stop him. “Don’t pick up any more. I can’t eat so much. You should eat more too. You’re still at an age where you’re growing.”
Sheng Qianheng frowned. Was Chu Yi treating him like a child?
“I’m not a child anymore…”
Chu Yi was unwilling to discuss the age issue with Sheng Qianheng. After all, he was almost 30, and Sheng Qianheng was just in his early 20s
He had once thought that he was still young, but compared to Sheng Qianheng, he was indeed old!
“OK, you’re my boss. Whatever you say is right. Hurry up and eat. It won’t be good when it’s cold.”
The original atmosphere between the two of them was gone. Sheng Qianheng called the waiter and ordered several bottles of wine.
Chu Yi glanced at them. They should all be quite expensive. As expected of a rich man.
But Sheng Qianheng drank cup after cup. He was afraid that if he continued to drink like this, someone would die.
He had no choice but to stand up, walk to Sheng Qianheng’s side, and stop him. “Don’t drink anymore.”
Sheng Qianheng feigned a drunken look and said, “Why, are you concerned about me? You don’t even like me. Why are you concerned about me? Don’t make me think I still have a chance…”
After moving the remaining wine away one by one, Chu Yi finally replied, “Even if I don’t like you for the time being, you shouldn’t abuse your body like this. No one can’t live without someone else. Do you understand?”
Sheng Qianheng shook his head. He understood, but he couldn’t do it.
He just liked Chu Yi. He wrapped his arms around Chu Yi’s waist and, in his drunken state, murmured, “Little Brother Yi, I just like you~ Don’t like anyone else, okay? Look at me, okay?”
Hearing the address “Little Brother Yi,” Chu Yi was in a daze for a moment. He let Sheng Qianheng hold him.
He stared at the crown of Sheng Qianheng’s head and fell into deep thought. “What did you call me?”
Sheng Qianheng’s arms around Chu Yi tightened a little. “Little Brother Yi~”
Chu Yi reached out to rub Sheng Qianheng’s head, recalling the time he had gone to the welfare home.
He had saved a little boy, and that little boy had called him Little Brother Yi.
But was Sheng Qianheng that little boy? Wasn’t he the company’s rich heir?
“Did you live in a welfare home when you were a child?”
Sheng Qianheng nodded, rubbing against Chu Yi’s waist. “Mm? How did you know? Hey, you’re Little Brother Yi. You should know. I’m Little Potato~”
Little Potato was a nickname Chu Yi had given to the dark and dirty little boy back then.
Sheng Qianheng was Little Potato? He couldn’t believe it for a moment…
“Did you really grow up in a welfare home? Don’t you lie to me!”
Sheng Qianheng thought that since he was already pretending to be drunk, he might as well act it out to the end.
He released Chu Yi, reached out to lift his clothes to reveal his waistline, and took Chu Yi’s hand, pressing it against his waist.
He looked up and grinned at Chu Yi. “Brother, look at my scar. Scars don’t lie.”
Chu Yi looked at the identical scar and finally confirmed that Sheng Qianheng was indeed the little boy from the welfare home back then.
For a moment, he was even more at a loss as to how to treat Sheng Qianheng.
His boss was a child from the welfare home he had once helped? And now he was saying he liked him?
He raised a hand to rub his hair, his mind a complete mess.
He was in a daze for a long time before he realized that his palm was actually pressed against Sheng Qianheng’s abs. He immediately withdrew his hand.
This meal was almost over. Chu Yi thought that with Sheng Qianheng like this, he could only say that he would take him back.
He took all his belongings and supported Sheng Qianheng out of the private room.
After much difficulty, he dragged the big lump of Sheng Qianheng to the parking lot. He supported him against the back car door.
The moment Chu Yi reached out to open the passenger door, Sheng Qianheng’s body slid to the ground like soft mud.
He hurriedly squatted down, thinking of pulling Sheng Qianheng up, but the size difference between them was really a bit too big.
His 178cm small frame really couldn’t carry the 185cm Sheng Qianheng!
He cupped Sheng Qianheng’s face and asked, “Can you get up by yourself?”
Sheng Qianheng feigned a drunken and drowsy look, resting his cheek in Chu Yi’s palm. “Brother, hold me~”
Chu Yi had a helpless expression on his face. In the end, it took him a great deal of effort to finally move him into the car.
He supported himself on the car door, gasping for air, and rested for a long time.
Seeing Chu Yi so tired, Sheng Qianheng couldn’t help but feel guilty. But since he had already done it, he couldn’t just give up halfway.
He took advantage of the gap when Chu Yi was fastening his seatbelt, tilted his head up slightly, and kissed his lips.
The two of them were stunned for a moment. Sheng Qianheng took advantage of the moment when Chu Yi hadn’t reacted, cupped the back of his head, and deepened the kiss.
Chu Yi only felt the taste of wine between Sheng Qianheng’s lips and teeth, as if it were giving him the illusion of being drunk as well.
He only resisted for a few seconds before he unconsciously sank in~
His breath, his saliva, everything between his lips and teeth was being plundered by Sheng Qianheng. Chu Yi had never had such a feeling before.
It wasn’t until he felt the strangeness of Sheng Qianheng’s body that he pushed him away and slapped him.
Sheng Qianheng’s eyes were hazy. He leaned against the car seat and giggled. “Little Brother Yi, why did you hit me?”
Apart from covering his lips and glaring at Sheng Qianheng, Chu Yi had no idea how to deal with the drunkard before him!
He could only blame himself for his lust clouding his judgment
