Chapter 21: Yue Yue, I Really Want to Hide You Away, But You Can Only Smile at Me
Early in the morning, Shen Kuozhi received an anonymous text message.
It was a link to a cloud storage folder. Shen Kuozhi didn’t think much of it and casually blocked the number.
On the other side, Qi Lei finally managed to obtain Shen Kuozhi’s number from Qi Weixiong and sent the link to the photos he had taken last time.
To his surprise, the entire morning passed without any response.
Qi Lei, after waiting the entire morning, gritted his teeth and decided to send another message to Shen Kuozhi, only to find out that he had been blocked.
He changed his number and this time sent a much more concise message.
He directly sent over the particularly ambiguous photos.
Qi Lei couldn’t believe it. Even if they didn’t have feelings for each other, could Shen Kuozhi, this scion of a wealthy family, tolerate himself being cuckolded?
At noon, Shen Kuozhi finished dealing with documents at his desk and took out his phone to check messages, only to find a flood of texts.
One after another, photos exposed themselves before Shen Kuozhi’s eyes. The text was vulgar.
And the protagonist in them was none other than his fiancée with another man.
What’s more, Shen Kuozhi recognized the other man.
Although it wasn’t difficult to see that the person who sent the photos wanted to create misunderstanding between him and Qi Yue, Shen Kuozhi’s expression still darkened.
This man was Qi Yue’s senior in school, and one of the few people Shen Kuozhi had seen who could genuinely make Qi Yue smile.
To say that he didn’t care, that was definitely impossible.
Shen Kuozhi’s hand holding the phone tightened slowly, veins popping on his arm.
Unfounded jealousy filled him, while reason told him to stay calm, but emotionally, he just wanted Qi Yue to smile at him, his heart and eyes filled only with him.
Shen Kuozhi breathed slightly, coughing a few times.
His body couldn’t handle too much emotional turmoil, which brought Shen Kuozhi back to reality in an instant.
Not only did he want to win Qi Yue’s heart now, but he also had to take care of his health. He couldn’t bear to let his beloved become a widow.
After sending this message, Shen Kuozhi immediately added the number to his blacklist.
In this lifetime, no one could ever think of breaking up him and Yue Yue; Yue Yue could only belong to him.
On the other side, after sending the message, Qi Lei stared at his phone, his eyes piercing.
He couldn’t believe that even now, Shen Kuozhi could remain so composed.
“Ding Dong!”
As expected! What did he say! If Shen Kuozhi could endure this, then he wasn’t a man!
Qi Lei’s laughter couldn’t even be seen in his eyes anymore as he eagerly opened the newly received message.
But when he saw that one sentence, his smile froze.
“My love?!”
Qi Lei exclaimed sharply, his tone filled with reluctance and jealousy.
At this point, how could Shen Kuozhi still say such words?
Qi Lei clenched his fists, slamming one onto the solid wood coffee table, causing his hand to ache.
His rather loud action attracted another person in the room.
“What’s wrong, sweetheart? Who made you angry?”
Speaking was a wheat-skinned, muscular man, bare-chested and wearing only a pair of briefs.
The man directly embraced Qi Lei from behind, resting his head in the nape of Qi Lei’s neck, deeply inhaling and kissing the nape.
Qi Lei began to feel hot all over again from the physical seduction, combined with the psychological anger. In the end, Qi Lei chose to sink into it…
“Achoo!”
Qi Yue rubbed his nose and sneezed.
Lately, he had been busy with setting up his company and spent his time at home in his room.
When Qi Yue mentioned starting a company to Yang Ling before, it wasn’t just talk.
With his mother’s inheritance and his own savings, he had enough to establish a preliminary small company.
Not to mention the supplementary card Shen Kuozhi had given him; he didn’t need to worry about funds.
But setting up a company wasn’t just about having enough funds.
Qi Yue entrusted the hiring to Yang Ling and dealt with the leasing of office space himself.
Securing an office was urgent; there was no room for carelessness.
Today, Qi Yue had followed the agent to see several available office spaces. After viewing the last batch, it was already 5 p.m.
Considering he had received a WeChat message from Shen Kuozhi at noon, he decided to come back today.
Although Shen Kuozhi didn’t directly tell him what was going on via WeChat, he didn’t ask much either.
It had been five days since he returned from the Shen family’s old mansion, during which he had been extremely busy outside, only returning to his room to sleep. It seemed like he hadn’t had any serious communication with Shen Kuozhi.
[Qi Yue: I’m coming back. I should be home in about an hour.]
[Shen Kuozhi: Okay, I’ll be waiting for you at home.]
When Qi Yue arrived home, it was already past 6 p.m. The sunlight gently enveloped pedestrians, no longer as intense as at noon but softly wrapping around them.
The curtains in the house were drawn, and with no lights on, it was dark.
At this hour, Shen Kuozhi hadn’t returned yet, right?
Qi Yue thought to himself and reached for the switch on the wall.
The moment the light turned on, Qi Yue subconsciously closed his eyes to prevent the glare. But as he closed his eyes, he heard a brief “bang” beside his ear.
When he opened his eyes again, he was dazzled by the scene before him.
“Happy birthday! Darling~”
Shen Kuozhi still held the small fireworks he had just set off, and Qi Yue was covered in reflective glitter. In the light, he looked as noble as a prince.
Qi Yue stood stunned in place, his eyes slightly moist, reddened, incredibly endearing.
The atmosphere Shen Kuozhi had set up in the house was very romantic, but that was only secondary. What truly touched Qi Yue was that this was the first time someone, aside from his mother, had celebrated his birthday so meticulously.
That Lin Xiao guy was a carefree and careless character; celebrating birthdays with him meant going to a bar to dance, supposedly to find him a handsome guy to have fun with.
However, over the years, he had become accustomed to not celebrating his birthday, so he didn’t think much of it.
But today, with this atmosphere, his eyes had their own thoughts.
“Why are you crying? Don’t you like it?”
Shen Kuozhi kept a close eye on Qi Yue. When he noticed something off with his emotions, he quickly approached him.
He reached out to wipe away the tears from Qi Yue’s eyes, but before his hand could touch Qi Yue’s face, it was dodged.
“I’m fine, thank you.”
Qi Yue wiped his face with his hand, adjusting his expression so as not to appear weak in front of Shen Kuozhi.
He didn’t have the right to appear weak in front of anyone now; his experiences over the years had taught him that.
“Was this the reason you called me back at noon?”
Qi Yue lowered his head slightly, not wanting Shen Kuozhi to see his current embarrassed state, and asked softly.
“Yeah, I don’t want you to be unhappy here.”
Shen Kuozhi’s gaze remained fixed on Qi Yue throughout, noticing any changes in him. Qi Yue’s emotional fluctuations naturally didn’t escape his eyes; Qi Yue’s earlobes were red, delicate, and adorable, making Shen Kuozhi’s heart melt uncontrollably.
He really wanted to hug him tightly and comfort him.
“Let’s eat. Auntie made a lot of dishes today.”
All of them are dishes you like.
Shen Kuozhi naturally reached out and held Qi Yue’s slender and well-proportioned delicate hand.
This time, Qi Yue didn’t pull away; perhaps his mind was still a bit foggy.
Qi Yue obediently followed Shen Kuozhi to the dining room, sitting properly on the chair Shen Kuozhi had pulled out for him.
The dishes on the table were all his favorites, obviously ordered by Shen Kuozhi.
The number of meals they had together could be counted on both hands, but he never expected the other party to figure out his preferences. He didn’t know whether to be afraid or happy.
But now that Qi Yue had adjusted his mood, he smiled and finished the meal with Shen Kuozhi.
After dinner, Shen Kuozhi handed a carefully wrapped gift box to Qi Yue.
“I wrapped it myself, so it might be a bit ugly…”
“It’s wrapped beautifully, I love it.”
Under the illumination of the light, Qi Yue’s amber eyes sparkled brightly. When he seriously focused on someone, it made the other person feel like he was all they could see.
“Shen Kuozhi, thank you.”
Qi Yue opened his arms and hugged Shen Kuozhi, although it was a bit awkward with the gift box in between. But for Shen, who was hugged by his wife, it wasn’t a big deal at all.
However, before Shen Kuozhi could truly feel the embrace, the person in his arms withdrew, leaving only warmth as evidence that Qi Yue had been there.
“Do you want to watch a movie?”
This was Shen Kuozhi’s first time celebrating his wife’s birthday in practice. Nervously fiddling with his clothes while the person he cared for was right there, he tentatively suggested a rather unoriginal plan.
“Sure~”
Qi Yue didn’t notice Shen Kuozhi’s small movements. Since Lin Xiao had something come up today, and he had no other plans, watching a movie sounded like a good idea.
“After the movie, do you want to have cake? I’ve prepared a cake.”
Shen Kuozhi wasn’t sure if Qi Yue liked cake, as he had never seen Qi Yue eat birthday cake in both lifetimes combined. Thinking of this, a strong sadness flashed in Shen Kuozhi’s eyes.
“Okay.”
Qi Yue placed the gift aside, not noticing the mixture of sadness and pain in Shen Kuozhi’s eyes behind him.
“Let’s go~”
Qi Yue turned around, smiling at Shen Kuozhi.
“Let’s.”
There was a home theater on the first floor, and Qi Yue sometimes went there to watch movies, but it was Shen Kuozhi’s first time entering.
“What do you want to watch?”
Qi Yue skillfully turned on the projector and asked Shen Kuozhi what movie he wanted to watch.
“You can choose whatever you want to watch. Today, you’re the boss.”
Shen Kuozhi’s gaze followed Qi Yue, and his words came out involuntarily gentle, enough to drown someone.
Qi Yue nodded. It was just a polite question, but he already had something in mind.
The recently released “Bio-W Machine” was something he hadn’t had the chance to watch yet, so it was perfect to watch today.
As the movie started playing, Shen Kuozhi, who was watching this type of movie for the first time, never expected that his seemingly delicate wife would actually enjoy this style of film.
He silently tilted his head, thinking that compared to the scenes in the movie, his beautiful wife was much more attractive.
As the movie began, Qi Yue focused his gaze on the screen, not sparing even a glance for Shen Kuozhi, making it impossible to tell that the person who had been crying before dinner was him.
