CH 95

Xie Zhongxing in the end was still a man and not that delicate. Although he felt uncomfortable, it wasn’t to the extent where he couldn’t walk.

After resting for a day and paying attention to the food he ate, he had mostly recovered.Qin Zhongyue brought over a cushion and squeezed it a few times in front of him, “The cushions from this brand are super soft. Try it out and see if you like it.”Xie Zhongxing received it. It was indeed very soft, “I like it.”Qin Zhongyue was proud, “I am naturally a very good judge of things.”He then took out a box from his pocket and whispered to Xie Zhongxing, “Xing Xing, this is a gift for you. Why don’t you open it and see if you like it?”Xie Zhongxing hesitated for a moment before reaching out and taking it. He joked, “It’s not a ring again, is it?”Qin Zhongyue scratched his head, “It’s not. Didn’t you say that you didn’t like rings?”Xie Zhongxing, “…..”Xie Zhongxing lowered his eyes and opened it. Inside the box was a car key.Xie Zhongxing couldn’t help but sigh.Qin Zhongyue asked anxiously, “How is it? Do you like it?”Xie Zhongxing asked, “What kind of relationship are we in right now?”Qin Zhongyue answered with uncertainty, “Fiancee? Or do you want to be referred to as the fiance? Hahaha, I’m fine with any.”He laughed foolishly and announced loudly, “Next year we will be able to get married!”Xie Zhongxing said, “It is also possible now.”Qin Zhongyue was stunned for a moment, “Now?”Xie Zhongxing said, “Some things are no longer fun if I say it myself. Think about it yourself, okay?”Qin Zhongyue took in his serious expression and was a little confused, “What things?”

Xie Zhongxing returned the box to him, “Think about it carefully yourself. What do I need, what do I want, I actually don’t really care much for it but you always say it so it made me start to look forward to it. If you still can’t figure it out….” He finished jokingly, “Perhaps I might leave you.”Qin Zhongyue, “….”Xie Zhongxing picked up the cushion and waved it in front of him, “I’ll be taking the cushion.”Qin Zhongyue, “Xing Xing….”But he wasn’t able to stop Xie Zhongxing. Qin Zhongyue was confused. Did he make a mistake with the gift?During the next few days, Xie Zhongxing became busy again. He very rarely returned back to the Qin residence.Qin Zhongyue called and questioned Qin Xiangqian, “Dad, have you been giving Xing Xing too much work lately? With so many subordinates, surely there is one that is competent? What are you going to do if Xing Xing falls sick from overworking? I knew I shouldn’t have let him work at your company, I can’t even see his face nowadays.”Qin Xiangqian, “…….”Qin Xiangqian, “I didn’t give him any work, he’s the one who’s not going home, okay? I was just about to ask if you and Xing Xing fought.”Qin Zhongyue, “We didn’t. How could I ever get into a fight with him?”Qin Xiangqian’s tone contained helplessness, “Then I don’t know. Who knows what you may have done that angered the other party.”Qin Zhongyue immediately denied it, “That’s impossible. He was fine the last time we spoke and even accepted my cushion.”Qin Xiangqian thought for a moment, “Then let me ask for you.”After hanging up, Qin Xiangqian called Xie Zhongxing over. He only spoke up after much deliberation, “Xing Xing, did you get into a fight with Zhongyue?”Xie Zhongxing blinked a few times. Understanding that it was currently a private chat, he relaxed his tone and called Qin Xiangwian ‘uncle’, “I didn’t fight with Qin Zhongyue.”Qin Xiangqian said, “Zhongyue that child can sometimes be a little proud but he has no bad intentions. He treats people very sincerely. At least for the past eighteen years, he has never dated.”

Qin Xiangqian paused and then continued, “That child is very devoted. If he likes someone, he would be wholeheartedly good to them and will wish to marry them.”Xie Zhongxing’s heart raced. He looked up at Qin Xiangqian with disbelief.Qin Xiangqian, who didn’t notice this reaction of his, continued, “He has told me not only once that he wanted to marry someone. He has been saying that for a very, very long time so I don’t think he’s joking around. Although he is still young, not very mature and a little childish, but, in some respects, he can be quite stubborn. I respect his decisions.”Xie Zhongxing’s heart was beating violently. The emotions in his eyes seemed like they were about to pour out but he held it in and lowered his eyes so that he was only seeing the corner of the desk.In fact, Qin Xiangqian wasn’t certain about the relationship between the two of them but he felt that his foolish son definitely had feelings for Xie Zhongxing. With how foolish his son was, he probably didn’t hide it well and Xie Zhongxing may have had an inkling of it. He however didn’t know what Xie Zhongxing thought about his son.Qin Xiangqian had said these things in order to test the waters.He was Qin Zhongyue’s father. Even as his father, he often found it difficult to communicate with Qin Zhongyue. He found it hard to imagine what Xie Zhongxing must have felt when stuck with Qin Zhongyue everyday.Thinking this, Qin Xiangqian asked in a gentler tone, “Xing Xing, do you know who he wants to marry?”Xie Zhongxing’s heart pounded loudly. His mouth was a little dry, making his voice hoarse, “Who is it?”Qin Xiangqian, “So far yet so near.”Xie Zhongxing’s nose soured. Tears almost flowed out from his eyes but he held it in. He asked quietly, “Uncle, are you talking about me?”Qin Xiangqian was a little surprised when he saw his eyes turn red. He however was able to calm down quickly, “Yes, it’s you Xing Xing. I just wanted to ask, do you wish to be with my son?”Xie Zhongxing spoke up with difficulty, “I’m a man. You don’t mind that?”Qin Xiangqian, “Is that important? As long as you two like each other, I don’t think it’s a big deal. But I have to say, my son can be quite frustrating. I just want you to think carefully about whether or not you can be with him.”The stone that had been weighing down on Xie Zhongxing’s heart all this time was finally gone. Zhong Yiming’s mother’s hysterical reaction disappeared and replacing it was Qin Xiangqian’s warm and understanding presence. He raised his head and said firmly, “I can.”He likes Qin Zhongyue. There was no doubt about it.Of course, Qin Zhongyue did have his shortcomings, but it was undeniable that he could only be happy when he was by Qin Zhongyue’s side.Although it was also true that he sometimes can make him angry.

Qin Xiangqian asked, “Are you sure?”Xie Zhongxing, “I am.” He paused and added softly, “Thank you uncle.”Qin Xiangqian, “I think you can call me dad now.”Xie Zhongxing pursed his lips slightly. Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Qin Xiangqian smiled, “It’s okay, you can continue calling me uncle. But remember, you will need to change it later.”Qin Xiangqian almost couldn’t wait. He urged, “Since you two like each other, the next step will be marriage. I think you can think about reining him in a little.”Xie Zhongxing blinked a few times. He vaguely understood what he meant.Qin Xiangqian cleared his throat a few times, “You can do whatever you like with him. I’ve been too busy and haven’t had the time to watch over him so he is a little too carefree right now.”Xie Zhongxing didn’t expect Qin Xiangqian to be this accepting. But thinking of Qin Zhongyue’s personality, he also felt that it was within expectations.No ordinary person can deal with someone like Qin Zhongyue.After leaving Qin Xiangqian’s office, Xie Zhongxing’s mood was a lot better.At the same time, under Shi Yanyu’s instructions, Qin Zhongyue slowly typed out a message to Xie Zhongxing.Shi Yanyu who wore a white suit looked a little tired. It was clear that he had just got off from work. He said to Qin Zhongyue somewhat impatiently, “Just invite him to meet at the top of the mountain. Why are you typing all that other nonsense?”Qin Zhongyue disagreed, “This is not nonsense. I need to reflect on my mistakes first and sum it up so that he can understand that I know what I did wrong and he will then forgive me.”Shi Yanyu, “You still don’t understand? He said all those things because he wants you to make it official. You are really strange. Even after all this time, the two of you still aren’t a couple?”Qin Zhongyue said with uncertainty, “We are a couple.”Shi Yanyu, “Have you confessed? Did he agree to date you?”

Qin Zhongyue, “….”Seeing him fall silent, Shi Yanyu immediately understood, “Don’t tell me you haven’t even confessed?”Shi Yanyu pinched his brows, “No wonder those childhood friends of yours treat you like that. Even if he is a man, you still need to make it official. I can see that you care for him but what about the others? If you don’t make it official, others will just think that he must be fooling around with you for your money. You need to give him a sense of security, understand?”Qin Zhongyue’s face turned pale with those words.Shi Yanyu said, “Propose to him. Think carefully about how you want to do it. Wait a minute, does your father know about this? If he doesn’t, he probably thinks he’s your secret lover.”Qin Zhongyue’s voice was small, “My dad knows.”Shi Yanyu raised a brow. He was a little surprised, “Then your father is quite open-minded.”Qin Zhongyue muttered to himself, “I thought it would be fine waiting until next year to propose.”Shi Yanyu said, “And what the hell was with that sapphire ring you gave him? You even told him that it would be worth hundreds of millions a few years later? Did your brain turn bad from all that investing? Do you think the other party would be happy hearing about selling the gift he was given?”Qin Zhongyue felt like he was shot by a bunch of arrows. Hearing his words, it seems he had made quite a lot of mistakes.Qin Zhongyue couldn’t help but be convinced by Shi Yanyu’s words. He asked sincerely, “Master, what should I do now?”Shi Yanyu, “You can’t be like this. Listen to me. Pick him up with a sports car and take up to the mountain to look at the stars. Propose to him on your knees under the starry sky and then go abroad the next day to register your marriage. Once that’s all done, publicise it on your socials and let the others know that you’re married.”Shi Yanyu pointed at his chest, “It is important to make things official, understand?”Qin Zhongyue nodded firmly and announced, “I understand!”Qin Zhongyue then asked, “Then what should I say to Xing Xing?”Shi Yanyu said, “Sweet talk him. Don’t you know how?”Qin Zhongyue thought for a moment and edited his message again.Shi Yanyu lowered his head to read it. He saw him type, “Xing Xing, do you want to sleep with me tonight?”Shi Yanyu, “…..”
