"Who is your boss?"
"I don't think Mr. Li knows him."
"What if I don't go?"
"The way we invited you there might have been a little rude."
"Will my life be in danger?"
"Mr. Li was joking, our boss just invited you over for dinner."
The words "I am not a kind person" were clearly written on the foreheads of these people. Thinking that He Zhenxuan had sent people to follow him and he would be here soon, Li Jincheng nodded and said, "Let's go."
I probably didn't expect him to be so cheerful, and there was a hint of appreciation in the middle-aged man's eyes.
The car drove forward, and nearly an hour later, it drove into a quiet residential area in the West District.
The Western District was the earliest affluent area on Hong Kong Island. Later, its status was gradually replaced by the emergence of Mid-Levels where every inch of land was at a premium.
There are many similar places on both sides, quiet and green, and the distance between villas is very far.
It's just that the villas here are very simple in appearance, and coupled with the inherent impression, Li Jincheng always feels that the air here is filled with a solemn atmosphere.
The residential area was very large, and the car drove forward for more than half an hour before finally driving into a large black iron gate.
"Mr. Li, please get off the bus here."
As soon as the middle-aged man sitting in the passenger seat said this, someone opened the door for Li Jincheng.
The moment he got off the car, Li Jincheng suddenly thought of what Zou Junkai had said to him.
For a castle-style villa, it is best to have a fountain in front of the door. When the sun sets, the water is refracted with dazzling light, and there is a ridiculously large emerald green lawn in front of it.
Only there are no hordes of servants here.
After thinking about it this way, Li Jincheng couldn't help but smile a little.
Some of his personality traits are consistent with his hobbies. He doesn't mind taking risks as long as his life safety is guaranteed. At the same time, he is full of curiosity.
These include both the people Li Jincheng will meet next and what may happen next.
Li Jincheng followed the middle-aged man forward, passing the living room, and finally they actually stopped in a semi-open dining room.
"Boss, Mr. Li is here."
"Um."
The um that came out of the kitchen had a casual tone, but unlike Ren Yuqiao's relaxation, this person gave people a cold and serious feeling.
He was not someone he knew. Thinking of He Zhenxuan's recent big moves in the business world, Li Jincheng guessed that the two of them might have had a dispute of interest.
Since He Zhenxuan married himself, he has gradually developed a quirk. Whenever there is a slight problem in the relationship between the two, he will devote himself to his work more crazily than before.
If something like this were known to his business rivals...
Li Jincheng smiled and shook his head.
"Mr. Li, please sit down."
Finding that Li Jincheng had been standing there without moving, the middle-aged man politely pulled out a chair for him. After Li Jincheng sat down, he left quietly.
Three dishes have been placed on the dining table, all delicious, delicious and appetizing.
The man seemed to be good at this, but he obviously didn't like Li Jincheng.
Li Jincheng can't eat spicy food, so what's on the table is Sichuan cuisine that looks very spicy.
"You don't want to eat?"
The voice was cold and pleasant. Li Jincheng looked up and saw a man in his twenties walking in carrying a white porcelain basin.
His complexion is fair, and he wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. The glasses are very delicate, just like his facial features.
But the aura he gives people...
Li Jincheng shook his head and said, "I can't eat spicy food."
"Feel sorry."
He said this apology without any sincerity. After sitting down opposite Li Jincheng, he lighted a cigarette for himself.
From the look on his face, it was obvious that Li Jincheng had known early on that he couldn't eat spicy food, and he had no intention of eating it himself.
It seems that cooking so many dishes is just to pass the boring time.
"Who are you?"
"Guan Zibiao."
There are not many people with the surname Guan in Hong Kong, but Li Jincheng knows one family.
Although the interior decoration of the villa is nothing special, it has given Li Jincheng an invisible sense of pressure and tension from the moment he walked in.
Li Jincheng originally didn't know much about these things, but he couldn't bear Xiao Peiting calling him every day and telling him these gossips.
Li Jincheng didn't pay much attention when he listened, but he had a good memory and usually left a deep impression after hearing it once.
The feeling of Guan Zibiao sitting in front of him was similar to that of this villa. It was not intentional, but the pressure he brought to others did exist.
He propped his chin and looked at himself, his face expressionless, his eyes half-closed, and a half-burned cigarette between his fingers. Because it was still daytime, the misty smoke was light blue.
He sat there like a person in an oil painting, and seemed to be thinking about something else through himself.
The whole person gave people a harmless feeling, but Li Jincheng knew that he was anything but simple.
In recent years, with the development of the economy and the advancement of people's thinking, few people have joined the underworld.
Xiao Peiting said that the Guan family had started laundering their name decades ago, but it was not until Guan Zibiao that they really succeeded.
Their family is a mafia family that has existed for a hundred years, and it is already very difficult to clear their name, so we can see that he has extraordinary abilities.
At least according to Xiao Peiting's original words, there are so many underworld families in Hong Kong. So far, she only knows of two that have successfully cleared their names.
In addition, Guan Zibiao's outstanding appearance is also the reason why people in their group often talk about him.
He seems cold-blooded and unkind, but once he falls in love with someone, he will probably be devoted to them for the rest of his life.
Xiao Peiting's friends usually got married early in the morning like her, but they still couldn't stop their fantasies about all kinds of men.
Thinking of Xiao Peiting chattering in his ear, Li Jincheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
If she knew that she had met Guan Zibiao and even talked to him, she would probably scream again.
Li Jincheng's smile finally brought Guan Zibiao back to his senses. After shaking off the ashes from his cigarette, he said, "You and Liao Changyuan have been classmates for twelve years?"
Li Jincheng never expected that he would mention Liao Yuanyuan. He was stunned for a moment before he nodded and said, "Yes."
"He likes you."
Li Jincheng found that he would always meet people who talked incoherently, such as Ren Yuqiao in the past and Guan Zibiao now.
But Ren Yuqiao had explained to Li Jincheng before that he couldn't understand what he said because he was too stupid.
Now it seems that Guan Zibiao should be the same type of person as him.
Fortunately, because of Ren Yuqiao, Li Jincheng already had experience in dealing with it. After a moment of silence, he said, "How did you and Liao Yuanchan meet?"
"More than a year ago, I sent someone to injure him."
Li Jincheng was stunned and said, "Because of your wife?"
"It's not my wife, it's my fiancée."
Putting out the cigarette in his hand, Guan Zibiao stared there and said, "Business marriage, partnership, but we said before that we need to respect each other during that time."
"She broke her promise?"
"Well, love breeds hate."
Therefore, Liao Changyuan acted as the unlucky enemy between the two.
Thinking of Liao Changyuan's tragic situation at that time, Li Jincheng was smart enough not to ask him what happened to his fiancée.
Although Guan Zibiao looks gentle and gentle, the coldness and cruelty in his heart will probably never disappear for the rest of his life.
"You've heard of me, but you don't seem to be afraid of me."
Li Jincheng smiled and said, "I am He Zhenxuan."
That man would probably do anything to protect himself.
With a firm tone and a smile full of sweetness and warmth, Guan Zibiao observed his expression carefully and said, "Say you love him very much."
It was an affirmative sentence. Li Jincheng nodded calmly. After a while, he said with some confusion: "But why are you looking for me?"
"I like Liao Changyuan, he is the first person I have ever been attracted to in my life."
Li Jincheng's shock didn't last long. Just like himself, if he hadn't died once and completely changed his character, he might not have loved him as deeply as he does now.
Liao Changyuan was in a similar situation to him, so he could understand why Guan Zibiao fell in love with him.
Seeing Guan Zibiao still staring at him, and thinking of the trouble Liao Changyuan brought to him last time, Li Jincheng said with an unchanging expression: "Did he tell you that he likes me?"
"No, he said that he owes you a lot of love and needs to repay it to you. In the past few years, apart from this and making movies, he will not think about anything else."
For Li Jincheng, Liao Changyuan is now equivalent to an angel without wings, constantly sending him checks and gifts, and always solving his urgent needs when Li Jincheng needs it.
But he kept his word. Since the last not-so-pleasant phone call, he never appeared in front of her again.
Li Jincheng was happy to see such a change in him. After thinking about it, he added: "He told me the same thing. Maybe it's because no one has been nice to him since he was a child, so he always keeps in mind the care of others, and Once he has the conditions and opportunities, he will repay others twice as much, and... "
After Li Jincheng finished speaking, he stared at Guan Zibiao opposite him seriously, and then said, "Isn't he supposed to be this good to me alone?"
"Yes, but he is the best to you."
His focus was as strange as He Zhenxuan's. Li Jincheng shook his head in his mind and said, "But he can't be single all his life... In other words, he will always fall in love with someone else."
Seeing Guan Zibiao looking at him thoughtfully, Li Jincheng smiled and said, "I know him, he likes your type, but before... he was in a coma for nearly eight months because of you, so..."
After speaking, Li Jincheng smiled even more and said, "You have a chance, but you have to give him some time to accept you."
He probably really liked Liao Changyuan. After hearing what Li Jincheng said, Li Jincheng felt a light flash in his eyes.
Just thinking of Guan Zibiao's ruthlessness that would never disappear, Li Jincheng added a little unbearably, "But you can't push him too hard."
"I know he can't stand the excitement."
Guan Zibiao's expression at this time can only be described as doting and gentle. Li Jincheng was sighing secretly when he saw Guan Zibiao take out his mobile phone.
"Let him in."
Not long after Guan Zibiao finished speaking, He Zhenxuan walked in with an obvious coldness.
After making sure that Li Jincheng was fine, he looked at Guan Zibiao opposite and said in a normal tone: "Guan Zibiao, right? Who gave you the right to bring him here?"
"Your relationship is different from what I heard... Also, I always thought you were a very elegant businessman."
Guan Zibiao seemed to be smiling, but He Zhenxuan refused to give in. He looked at him coldly and said, "If you dare to do anything to Jincheng again, you will know that I am not polite."
It took almost an hour to drive here from Rongsheng, but He Zhenxuan arrived within forty minutes. Seeing that he was still wearing a shirt, Li Jincheng was moved and sad at the same time.
Last time, he was always a little unhappy because of Ren Yuqiao and Liao Changyuan. Later, even if the two talked about it, but he didn't know whether it was because of awkwardness or embarrassment, the atmosphere between the two could never return to the past.
Seeing that He Zhenxuan's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and hearing him say words that he would never say normally, Li Jincheng couldn't help but hold his right hand, thinking that he had ignored his feelings too much before.
He Zhenxuan was still talking to Guan Zibiao at this time. He felt Li Jincheng holding his hand. He turned around, covered his forehead with his other hand, and whispered: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No."
After speaking, Li Jincheng stood up and looked at them with interest, but there was a hint of envy in his eyes. Guan Zibiao raised his and He Zhenxuan's clasped hands, and said with a bright smile: "We just didn't bother to talk to others about this before. …Although others think I am Zhenxuan’s tool to fend off disasters, in fact, we truly love each other.”
After dragging He Zhenxuan forward for a few steps, Li Jincheng turned back and said, "I wish you success."
"Perhaps I should make a statement and say that I, He Zhenxuan, love Li Jincheng to death, and I have never regarded him as a tool for me to use to fend off trouble."
As soon as he walked out of the Guan family's mansion, He Zhenxuan whispered.
In the past, Li Jincheng might have thought his focus was strange, but now, he already knew that this person just cared too much about him.
"sorry."
He Zhenxuan turned around slightly surprised and said, "How can I blame you? It was Guan Zibiao who brought you here."
"No, it's not about today's matter..."
After speaking, Li Jincheng looked at him and said seriously: "Before, I was too self-righteous. I thought that if I thought this way, it would be natural for me to think that you would think the same way... But in fact, I didn't think about what you said at all. I was distressed. The reason why it’s like that…”
"Jincheng..."
He Zhenxuan's expression was even more surprised. He was silent for a moment, and he just hugged Li Jincheng.
"I'm not right either. I've been an adult for a long time, but sometimes when I think about certain issues, my thoughts always seem particularly childish..."
"Because you love me."
Li Jincheng looked determined, but his expression was very gentle. He Zhenxuan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "That's right, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Jincheng had already grabbed the collar of his shirt and kissed him softly.
It seemed that on this day, the two of them truly connected.
He Zhenxuan enjoyed Li Jincheng's long-lost initiative. It was not until the kiss was over that he looked at the door not far away and said, "Jincheng, there are cameras there."
Li Jincheng smiled, looked back at the villa-style castle, and whispered: "Whatever, let him have a standard to refer to."
"Um?"
Li Jincheng glanced at He Zhenxuan meaningfully and said, "Guan Zibiao likes Liao Yuanyuan and wants to know how he can catch up with Liao Yuanyuan."
He Zhenxuan's expression was slightly speechless, he shook his head and said, "I thought..."
"It's just a misunderstanding, but with Guan Zibiao's character... I think Liao Changyuan will suffer a lot in the future."
His smile was a bit gloating. He Zhenxuan didn't know what to say, so he just held his hand and walked out the door.
It was getting late, and the cool breeze felt comfortable on his body. Li Jincheng looked back at He Zhenxuan and said, "Are you cold?"
"not cold."
"Did you drive here by yourself?"
"No, I brought someone else with me."
Everyone must know that Guan Zibiao's background is not simple. Li Jincheng looked at a person walking towards them not far away and said, "Can you let them go back first? I want to take a walk here."
"not hungry?"
"Okay, let's go out from here later, find a place to eat, and then take a taxi home?"
"good."
Speaking of which, he would never say no to himself. The corners of Li Jincheng's lips raised as he watched He Zhenxuan ask the man to take the others away first.
Most of the buildings in the West District have a bit of an ancient feel. The villas are hidden behind the shade of trees, with only a small corner exposed.
Most of the people living here are people who have completely calmed down after the prosperity. They are keen on gardening and take care of their gardens meticulously. There are always large blooms of pale pink roses and brightly colored French roses beside the walls.
There were no passers-by, only the occasional car driving slowly past, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.
Probably affected by this environment, Li Jincheng and He Zhenxuan didn't speak much along the way, but they always held hands and felt content and calm.
"Zhenxuan, if I die before you in the future, what will you do?"
Noticing that He Zhenxuan was exerting force with his left hand, Li Jincheng smiled and said, "It's just a small talk, why are you so nervous?"
He Zhenxuan relaxed his hand, thought for a while, and said, "I will live well, but I will not fall in love with anyone else in the future."
"sure?"
"Sure."
His words seemed to please Li Jincheng. Seeing the corners of his mouth rising unconsciously, He Zhenxuan said again: "What about you?"
"I'll accompany you."
He probably didn't expect that Li Jincheng would say such words, and He Zhenxuan had that shocked expression on his face again.
After being shocked, he didn't know what to say. Intellectually, he felt that Jin Cheng's idea was wrong, but deep down, he was extremely eager for him to do this.
After a while, He Zhenxuan said with some embarrassment: "Jincheng, if I do that... will it seem more selfish?"
"How could that be? I just want you to be happy."
With a calm look on his face, He Zhenxuan thought about it seriously and gradually felt relieved.
As long as he is happy, I will probably fully support any decision he makes.
"Zhenxuan."
"Um?"
"Is there any position you particularly want to try?"
"What posture?"
"On the bed."
Seeing Li Jincheng not squinting and looking serious, He Zhenxuan couldn't bear it anymore, and finally couldn't help but pinch the flesh on his face and pull it to both sides.
"It hurts, it hurts, He Zhenxuan, just forget it if you don't want to, I won't force you!"
In fact, he didn't use any force at all. Seeing Li Jincheng's face as if he had succeeded in his prank, He Zhenxuan was even more upset and said, "Didn't you say such a thing just to tease me?"
"a part of it."
Before He Zhenxuan could change his face, Li Jincheng immediately added, "But I really want to give it a try!"
