I’m Keeping the Overbearing CEO After He Went Bankrupt [Rebirth] 67

Chapter 67: Qingbao Jumps Up and Down

The next morning, when Chu Qing woke up, he saw Huo Li was changing his clothes.

Lunch was already on the table.

He had slept until noon again.

“You’re awake?” he said, turning his head with a smile.

He stared at him blankly for a moment, then sat up with a “thud.” “I… I’ll help you.”

He was now inconvenient with one hand, so he immediately reached out to help him pull it.

Then he got up to wash up, but as soon as he stood up, he sat back down in pain.

Chu Qing: “…”

He looked at him with a blank expression.

He rubbed his nose. “This… the first time, I was afraid you wouldn’t be used to it, so I didn’t eat my fill. So yesterday, I wanted to enjoy myself a little.”

He still looked at him.

“…I was wrong,” he said, patting his chest. “I’ll dare to do it again next time.”

Thump!

A pillow flew over and hit him in the face.

The two were affectionate for a moment. After eating, they went to the practice room in the manor to find a dance teacher. He still had to practice dancing today. At the very least, his basic movements had to be beautiful and not too stiff.

“By the way,” he said frankly on the way. “Um… I just remembered yesterday. I forgot to take the medicine…”

“…?”

He lowered his head. “Well… the medicine you put in my jacket that day. I left the jacket at the studio, so I forgot to take it…”

He had used protection last night, but not at the hospital that day, so he needed the medicine.

“…”

He frowned slightly, looking a little dissatisfied.

He secretly observed his expression. Seeing that he was a little angry, he lowered his head.

Huo Li really doesn’t want a child.

Why…

Does he not like children, or does he not like having a child with me?

He was a little unhappy and let go of his hand.

“What’s wrong?” he thought he was blaming him for not reminding him and immediately said, “It’s okay. It’s not necessarily that accurate.”

“Mmm.”

He came to the dance studio, waved at him, and gestured for him to leave and do his own thing first.

He didn’t go far, but just found a place nearby to sit down and start looking at his company’s documents.

The dance teacher was a young Italian woman, enthusiastic and kind. When she taught him, she was extremely patient and did not force him to stretch.

After practicing for a long moment, he sat down to rest and saw that the small WeChat group he and Yu Weixi were in had already exploded. His teammates were all congratulating him.

He curiously scrolled up.

At first, a teammate of Yu Weixi had asked him if he wanted to go on vacation together at the end of the year. Later, he had replied no. Everyone had frantically asked for the reason, and he had finally replied reluctantly.

Yu Weixi: I’m f*cking pregnant!

…

The group was silent for a full five minutes.

And then it exploded.

Yu Han: Congratulations, Xixi!

Yao Xuhe: Ahhhhhhh, this servant congratulates the empress!! May the empress be blessed with good fortune! May the empress be blessed with good fortune!

An Yize: May the empress be blessed with good fortune!

Then the screen was filled with “May the empress be blessed with good fortune.”

After that, everyone started to gossip, asking if he was planning to marry Best Actor Feng.

Before, when he had played games with them, everyone had always deliberately brought up Feng Yan to tease him. In the past, he had been both resistant and angry, but recently, his attitude towards him had gradually become better and better, and the change was obvious.

It was said that it was because he and Feng Yan had worked together on a new TV drama, and their relationship had eased, and it was suspected that their old feelings had been rekindled.

He smiled and sent him a private message.

Chu Qing: Congratulations, Xixi!

Yu Weixi: How have you been lately, Qingbao?

He sat on the side and chatted with him.

Although he was still awkward when he mentioned Feng Yan, he was indeed with him. Now their relationship was quite stable, and his parents had also come to take care of him.

His father was a very professional private doctor who had his own hospital and often treated celebrities in the circle. His reputation and word of mouth were very good.

Yu Weixi: What about you? How are you and that Huo Li?

He paused and smiled, holding his phone.

Chu Qing: Very good…

Chu Qing: Mr. Huo, he… is very good to me

He was lost in thought for a moment and asked cautiously.

Chu Qing: I have a friend who wants to ask you a question… he asked me, and I don’t know how to answer, so I came to ask you.

Yu Weixi: ?

Chu Qing: Well, my friend and his boyfriend are in a very good relationship now. His boyfriend is very, very good to him and even said he wants to be with him forever… but, his boyfriend just doesn’t want a child and even asked him to take a contraceptive pill. Why is that?

Yu Weixi: …

Yu Weixi: I’ll tell you… that friend of yours, you can’t take the morning-after pill often. It’s not good for your body.

Chu Qing: No, just once

After that, Huo Li had used… mmm.

Yu Weixi: Then I don’t know. Generally speaking, as far as I know, not wanting a child is either because you have no money or because the relationship is not stable. But from what I see, your friend’s boyfriend is neither of these, right?

Although this was his second pregnancy, he still knew very little about this area. And he was a tiger, so his first pregnancy had been no different from usual. He had even been bold enough to dance.

A moment later, he added.

Yu Weixi: How about this? I’ll have a friend of mine who has had two children ask her boyfriend if he wants a third one? Let’s see how he answers?

Chu Qing: Okay… thank you, Xixi!!

Yu Weixi: Not to be that person, but you… that friend of yours, why doesn’t he just ask himself

Chu Qing: …Ah

He did not answer.

It’s not that I don’t want to ask. It’s just… I don’t dare to.

He didn’t dare to talk to him about any topics related to feelings and the future.

Even though he knew in his heart that he would not abandon him, he was still afraid of hearing some bad answers, afraid that some of his imaginations would come true.

“What are you talking about?”

He came in with a cup of milk tea.

He was so scared he randomly clicked out and exited WeChat.

“I, I was talking to Xixi…” he lowered his head. “He… is pregnant with his second child. I congratulated him.”

“Oh.” He had been paying attention to him, but he saw that he didn’t have any special reaction and just handed him the milk tea with a smile. “I also have snacks in my bag. I brought you a pile of food.”

He took it with some happiness.

Eating sweets and drinking sweets always made him feel much happier.

“Mr. Huo.”
“Hmm?”

“I want to go out for a walk later and pick a congratulatory gift for Xixi. Right… I have to give him a pile of supplements. I also have to bring him souvenirs… ah…” he counted on his fingers. “As for souvenirs, An Yize, Wang Shiwei, Teacher Lu… and those students before…”

He started to count to himself.

He just smiled and watched him.

This was the first time since he had known him that he had had the idea of going out for a walk. This was a very good thing.

“Mr. Huo, when Xixi’s baby is born, I’m going to give him a gold lock…!” he said, and he was happy just thinking about it. “Xixi said I can be the child’s godfather.”

“Sure,” he said, raising an eyebrow and deliberately. “Your husband is very rich. It’s not a problem to give him a mountain of gold.”

Chu Qing: “…”

He patted his shoulder and huffed, “You big liar.”

He’s clearly very rich, but he’s always tricking me.

“Silly Qingbao, my company really did go bankrupt. I didn’t lie to you. Look, I have to start over again when I come back,” he said with a smile. “It’s just that after I went bankrupt, I still have the shares of Panda and the assets I had saved up before.”

“Oh…”

“I’ll prepare a gift for your friend later too,” he said, rubbing the top of his hair with a smile. “You eat some snacks first.”

“Okay.”

“By the way,” he said, and remembered something, and pulled on his sleeve. “I have to work overtime tonight…”

His face darkened when he heard this.

But he was not afraid now. He was used to it. He said with a grin, “Mr. Huo can go back first…”

The studio was in the manor, and the manor had an area set up as a dormitory. He and Huo Li lived there, and it was not far from where he worked.

But he was just dissatisfied.

“CEO Chu, CEO Chu…” he acted cute like a strong man and took his hand. “CEO Chu, is work more important than me? Is there some little vixen who has hooked you outside?”

“…”

“CEO Chu… I’m sleeping alone. The bed is empty. I’m scared, cold.”

“…” he thought. Then don’t hold my hand so tightly.

What, is this today’s play? The CEO and the little kitty?

Don’t ask him how he knows the word “little kitty.” Just say he accidentally entered a new world.

He remembered the teacher-student and police officer from last night, and his face turned red. He shook off his hand.

“Don’t be naughty…”

“Naughty?” his eyes were instantly two parts angry, three parts in disbelief, four parts tragic, and one part, an inseparable love for him, a complete pie chart.

“You think I’m being naughty now?? You didn’t say that when you first started keeping me!”

Chu Qing: “…”

He said helplessly, “Mr. Huo… I still have to work overtime no matter what…”

“It seems work is more important than me,” he said, and hugged him, muttering. “Are you with that bastard Monk?”

He shook his head.

“That’s good… forget it. I’ll wait for you while I look at my documents.”

“No, you go back first,” he said stubbornly. “Don’t wait for me. You go back and rest, okay?”

He then talked to him for a long time and finally managed to persuade him to go back.

…

At night.

“Yo? You successfully persuaded that clingy person to leave?”

He crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile.

There were only two people in the recording studio, him and Monk.

He said helplessly, “He likes to be jealous… if he finds out, he’ll definitely be angry…”

So the fact that he and Monk were secretly here must not be discovered.

And… this was a surprise.

A birthday gift surprise. How could it be discovered?

“Thank you, Teacher Monk, for being willing to stay behind and write a song with me…” he said with a smile. “I’ve taken up your time.”

“It’s okay. I’m very interested.”

He pulled a chair to the table and raised an eyebrow. “I heard you’re planning to use polyphony?”

“Mmm, not just polyphony. What I want to do might be more difficult, but I’m not a professional… so I need your guidance,” he said honestly. “I was originally looking for Teacher Kachi, but he said you’re better at it…”

But no matter how difficult it is, I want to try.

He said with a grin, “I want to make a unique song for Mr. Huo…”

He rolled his eyes in disgust.

The sour stench. It’s suffocating.

He helplessly held out his hand.

“Then you show me your demo first.”

The two of them stayed until late at night. He looked at the time. He just needed his guidance and didn’t need him to help him create, so it was enough now. It was better not to stay too late.

“Thank you, Teacher Monk,” he said, standing up with a smile. “I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”

“Okay,” he also said with a smile. “I’m looking forward to the release of this song. It’s very interesting.”

The two left the music room. After he came out, he was startled.

He was standing on the side, leaning against a railing with his arms crossed, looking at them with an unfriendly expression.

Chu Qing: “…”

He whistled and pulled him over to greet him, as if he were trying to stir up trouble. “Mr. Bodyguard! Good evening?”

He looked at him with a blank expression, his eyes as dark as water.

“Mr. Huo…” he quickly broke free from his hand and went over to take his.

“Why is Mr. Huo here?”

He said with a grin, “I came to pick you up.”

He had indeed left, bought dinner, and taken a shower when he got back. Later, when he saw that he had not come back, and thinking of the way he had desperately wanted him to go back first during the day, he felt that something was strange, so he simply went to pick him up.

But as soon as he arrived, he saw him and Monk, alone until this time.

“Mr. Huo…” he was a little scared.

At this moment, he was still smiling at him, but when he wasn’t looking at him, his face was expressionless.

But…

There was a chilling feeling down his spine.

He swallowed.

He hadn’t done anything wrong, but he was a little scared.

“Mr. Huo…” he said, and shook his hand. “Shall we… go back?”

“Good.”

He took him to the car.

On the nearly five-minute drive, he did not speak, his face dark as he looked at the road ahead.

Chu Qing: “…”
Chu Qing: “…Mr. Huo?”

“Mmm.”

“…”

They arrived at their destination.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel and said slowly, “You have nothing to say?”

He turned his head away. “…No.”

His eyes narrowed slightly.

The car was silent.

After a long moment, he finally said, “Why did you lie to me?”

“Mr. Huo also lied to me.”

“…What were you and Monk doing there?”

“Nothing…”

“Chu Qing!” he slapped the steering wheel hard.

His whole body trembled, and a wave of grievance immediately came over him.

He’s shouting!

He’s secretly preparing a birthday gift for him. He didn’t say anything because he wanted to create a surprise. He has nothing to do with Monk.

Monk has no thoughts about him now. Their interaction is just like that of other colleagues.

Why is Mr. Huo so fierce!

Why is he so fierce!

His eyes were red as he looked at him, and he sniffled hard.

He met his aggrieved look and immediately became scared. No matter how angry he was, he didn’t dare to do anything and could only make amends. “Um… I was asking you, why did you…”

“No reason!”

He got out of the car angrily, turned his head, and roared fiercely, “Mr. Huo is a pig!”

Thump—!

And then, before he could react, he slammed the car door and left.

Huo Li: “…”

Huo Li, who had not had time to vent his anger: “????”
