After a brief chat, Gao Qing didn't want to waste any more time. She looked at her watch and ended the topic at the right time. "I won't delay Mr. Qin's date. If we haven't finished talking, we can talk about it later if we have a chance."
Qin Mingyuan nodded to her, "Then we won't delay Mr. Gao's meal."
Gao Qing smiled, then remembered something and said, "By the way, my family is going to hold a birthday party for Zichen next week. I hope Mr. Qin can come."
It was said to be a birthday party, but in fact it was to help Liang Zichen expand his network. In the past two years, it is about time for him to retire from the entertainment industry and get involved in the family business.
Especially after the Yun Yuexian incident, she felt that it was time for her son to focus on his work and put all his energy into the Liang Group's business instead of being fascinated by a scheming little star and losing his mind.
He has so many things to learn, the first of which is how to judge people.
Although he didn't want to have much dealings with Liang Zichen, Qin Mingyuan was still willing to give Gao Qing face. Since she asked in person, he certainly wouldn't refuse, "I will definitely be there."
Gao Qing was completely relieved when he really agreed. It seemed that the other party really didn't take the Yun family seriously. After a pause, she looked at the young man in the wheelchair and said, "Young Master Yun, if you have time, please come along."
Seeing how Qin Mingyuan openly announced his relationship to her just now, she believed that he had no intention of hiding it. She invited Yun Pei to be friendly to him, and she believed that he would not mind.
Liang Zichen behind her was not very happy. He knew clearly that Young Master Yun was targeting Yun Yuexian everywhere and really disliked him. And Qin Mingyuan, every time he saw this man, he felt suppressed and was very unhappy.
He didn't want these two people to show up at his birthday party, but he wasn't stupid enough to offend his mother in front of them, so he could only hold back and not say anything.
Yun Pei didn't expect that she would invite him. He subconsciously wanted to look at the man. The other party nodded to him, so he didn't hesitate and responded generously, "My honor."
Such behavior made Gao Qing look at him more. Although the young man was sitting in a wheelchair, his back was very straight. He did not show any courage in the face of her gaze, nor was he happy about her invitation.
No wonder President Qin took a fancy to her. Gao Qing retracted her gaze, smiled at them again, and left with her son.
Only after they walked away did Liang Zichen express his dissatisfaction to her, "Qin Mingyuan and I don't get along at all, and there's also Yun Pei, Mom, why did you invite them?"
Gao Qing stopped and turned to look at him. She raised her chin to signal the waiter who was following her to leave. After watching her walk away, she said, "Disagree? What qualifications do you have to disagree with others?"
"Mom?" Liang Zichen couldn't believe that his mother would say that to him. "Qin's and Liang's are on equal footing. How am I worse than him?" "Qin Mingyuan can now firmly sit in the position of Qin's president. No one dares to look down on him. In the business world of City A, even the people in power of the same generation as his father still take him into consideration. Those old-timers have to look at his face." Gao Qing raised her hands and crossed her chest. "Zichen, let me ask you, if I hand Liang's over to you, can you do this?"
Liang Zichen had nothing to say, but it was this feeling of being unable to refute that made him even more unhappy. He couldn't help but say, "He has been involved in company affairs since college. Of course he has made achievements over the years, but I have also won many awards in the entertainment industry. I won the Best Actor Award at a young age. The seniors in the entertainment industry have to give me face when they see me. What's the difference?"
Gao Qing sighed, "Zi Chen, you are very good, and many people have praised me for your talent, but you also have to understand that no matter how many awards you win in the entertainment industry, if you can't manage Liang's well, those are all empty. If these things fall into the hands of your uncles, can you still go on so smoothly in the entertainment industry?"
Liang Zichen was speechless again. He knew in his heart that he could achieve such success at this age because his family paved the way for him. Various good resources were provided in front of him for him to choose from, and there were various excellent seniors in the company to teach him acting skills.
But didn’t Qin Mingyuan also inherit his family’s company? If he didn’t have these, he might not be able to reach such a position now. He would also have to go through a lot of hard work.
Gao Qing seemed to see what he was thinking, and spoke again: "I don't care how much prejudice you have against him, but we must be on good terms with him. Even if we can't be friends, at least we can't be enemies. Zichen, that Young Master Yun is at odds with Yun Yuexian, and Qin Mingyuan must be helping him. I hope you can learn to be smart and make a break as soon as possible."
When she mentioned this, Liang Zichen became unhappy again, "Mom, why do you have to exclude Xiao Xian? Before, you always said that a family like ours couldn't marry a man. But today you saw that Qin Mingyuan was with Yun Pei, the cripple. If he can, why can't I?"
Seeing that he still didn't repent, Gao Qing no longer had the intention to enlighten him calmly, and directly said in a cold voice: "If you can also shut up those who doubt him like Qin Mingyuan, I won't have any objection to whoever you want to marry."
She left after saying this, not wanting to care what he thought. Dealing with company affairs and those uncles and aunts who were eyeing her covetously every day was tiring enough, and she didn't want to quarrel with her son again.
Liang Zichen was left there with a gloomy face, his hands hanging at his sides clenched into fists, and the phone in his pocket rang. He took it out reluctantly, and when he saw the note on it, his expression eased, and he walked aside to answer it, "Hello, Xiaoxian..."
—
Qin Mingyuan and Yun Pei had already left the restaurant on the top floor and took the elevator to the floor where their room was located.
The corridor was covered with carpets, and the wheelchair made no sound as it rolled past. There was a light smell of air freshener in the air, which was not pungent but very pleasant.
Pushing the person to the door of the room, Qin Mingyuan motioned for the other party to wait a moment, took out the room card from his pocket, opened the door, and inserted it into the card slot on the side of the door.
When the lights came on, he turned around and pushed the person in. "You must be tired after playing all day. Take a shower later. Get up early today..."
The voice stopped abruptly when he saw the layout of the room, and his footsteps also paused.
Bright red rose petals spread out from under their feet, extending to the edge of the large double bed. The petals scattered on the bed formed the shape of a heart, and the towel at the end was folded into two swans embracing each other.
The sweet fragrance of flowers lingered around, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.
Yun Pei's ears turned red and he looked up at the man behind him.
Qin Mingyuan lowered his head to meet his eyes and explained calmly, "It's not me. The room was booked together with the restaurant. They probably misunderstood."
The seats in the restaurant were for couples, and the hotel staff had obviously over-guessed his thoughts. No wonder they said to him "Have a wonderful night" when he came down just now. It turned out that they were waiting here.
Yun Pei believed his words for the time being, and didn't dare to look at the bed again. "Then I'll go take a shower first."
His original intention was to escape from the current atmosphere, but after he spoke, he found that it made people think more wildly. He panicked for a moment, and simply said nothing, controlling his wheelchair to go to the bathroom.
Qin Mingyuan looked at his back which seemed to be fleeing in panic, with a smile in his eyes. He turned back to look at the carefully decorated big bed and thought that the hotel had really gone too far and almost made him take the blame.
Yun Pei took a longer shower this time, and mentally prepared himself not to care too much about those things before he dried his hair and went out in a bathrobe.
He wanted to act as if he didn't care, but he found that the petals had been cleaned up when he was taking a shower, and the room had returned to normal.
He turned his head to look at the man who put down his phone and walked towards him. For some reason, his heart softened.
Qin Mingyuan bent down and picked him up, then turned around and walked back to gently put him on the soft bed, pulled the quilt over him and covered him, and touched his fluffy hair that had just been washed, "You take a rest first. If you're not sleepy, play with your phone for a while. I'll go take a shower."
Yun Pei nodded and rubbed his palm.
Qin Mingyuan turned around and walked away, unbuttoning his shirt. The bathroom was still filled with steam from the young man's shower. He stopped in front of the mirror, reached out to wipe away the mist on it, looked at his sanctimonious face, and thought to himself that he really wanted to pounce on that person.
Sighing, he turned around and went to take a shower obediently, like a beast that only carnivorous, which would scare the other person.
Yun Pei sat alone on the soft bed, listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, and raised his hand to touch his face.
I don’t know if it’s because I drank a glass of red wine before, or because I took a long shower today, but I still feel a little hot to the touch.
After a pause, he reached out and lifted the quilt covering his legs.
The bathrobe provided by the hotel was very large and long, but it only reached a little below the knees, leaving half of his ugly legs exposed.
He has lived with Qin Mingyuan for some time, and it is inevitable that he will see his legs, but the other party's expression is always calm, as if his legs are no different from others.
To be honest, this kind of man also makes Yun Pei feel more and more natural and relaxed when interacting with him.
In fact, maybe it is not as bad as he thought. He can feel the love of the man at all times, and he can always soothe his sensitive emotions in time.
In contrast, his avoidance and retreat at times seemed unfair to his lover.
"Why don't you cover yourself with the quilt? You'll catch a cold."
Yun Pei suddenly came back to his senses when he heard the man's voice. He had been in a daze for so long without realizing it.
Looking up, I saw a man in a bathrobe walking towards me. The clothes, which were a little big on him, fit him perfectly. His belt was loose and his collar was slightly open, revealing some firm muscles on his chest.
The washed hair hung down, slightly covering the sharp eyebrows and eyes, making the teardrop moles at the corners of the eyes more distinct, and the powerful aura was weakened.
Qin Mingyuan walked to the bed, pulled back the quilt he had lifted and covered it, then reached out to touch his face, "Is it because you're hot from the alcohol you drank earlier?"
The dry and warm palm was against his cheek. Yun Pei looked up at him, tilted his head and rested his cheek in his palm, rubbing it gently. "Why are you still acting like a spoiled child? Are you drunk?" Qin Mingyuan moved closer to look at him, not knowing that because of this action, his collar opened wider, revealing a tight chest.
Yun Pei felt that he was a little bewitched by beauty. His eyes fell on that piece of skin and his ears felt hot. He wanted to escape, but also wanted to admire it again.
Seeing that he was in a daze with red cheeks, Qin Mingyuan was a little worried, "Is he really drunk?"
Even if he was drunk, it was because of the other person's beauty. Yun Pei only dared to think about this in his heart.
He watched the man prepare to walk away while he went to get him a glass of water, and he reached out his hands to put his arms around his neck. Perhaps it was really the red wine he had drunk earlier that was causing the problem, he was so bold as to lean over and kiss the man on the lips, and even licked it gently.
Qin Mingyuan was stunned by his sensual kiss and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After the kiss, Yun Pei started to feel embarrassed, but he didn't loosen his hand around him. He just turned his eyes away and said, "You seduced me..."
Before he could finish his words, his waist tightened and strong arms wrapped around him, pressing against his body.
"Who seduced whom?" Qin Mingyuan's tone was somewhat gnashing of teeth. Did this little mimosa really not know how hard it was for him to endure? !
As if in revenge, he lowered his head and bit the other person's mouth.
He didn't use any force, Yun Pei didn't feel any pain, just a slight numbness. Looking at the man's forbearing expression, he tightened his arms around his neck and whispered, "Qin Mingyuan, do you want it?"
After saying that, as if he was afraid that the courage he had accumulated with great difficulty would dissipate, he immediately said without waiting for the other party to speak: "If you want... I will give it to you..."
The last sound was swallowed between the lips and teeth. It was so hot from the beginning that Yun Pei was a little overwhelmed. He moved impatiently, but was pressed even tighter.
Qin Mingyuan kissed the bold young man until he was breathless before pulling away. He wiped the bright color on his lips with his fingers and locked his eyes with him deeply. "Do you still dare to say that?"
Calming his breathing, Yun Pei looked at him with watery eyes, knowing that he was giving him a final warning, but still did not back off. He slid his hand around him and pressed it on his chest, "Do you want it?"
Qin Mingyuan's eyes were filled with darkness. He gritted his teeth and finally leaned over to kiss his neck in a compromised manner, "I want..."
The uneasy mood unexpectedly calmed down with this word. Yun Pei put his arm around the man's shoulders, curled up his lips, and leaned close to his ear, "Then I will give it to you..."
