"Have you watched enough?" A cold voice sounded in Ge Junxuan and Bai Lin's ears.
Ge Junxuan shrugged with an innocent expression. "You guys were kissing to the point of forgetting everything else, you can't blame us for watching."
Wen Jingrong held Shang Ke and walked out from behind the curtain.
Shang Ke's face was still red from the intense kiss earlier while his eyes were slightly wet and glistering. Ge Junxuan silently compared Shang Ke and Bai Lin. They both had comparable good looks and body figures, but if the two of them were to stand next to each other, the first one people notice would definitely be Shang Ke. He had an indescribable charm that made him unforgettable.
As expected of someone Wen Jingrong fell for. He's definitely different.
That is Yongshao's Ge Junxuan and this is Qingwei's Bai Lin." Wen Jingrong's hand circled Shang Ke as he introduced, "He is 'Shang Ke', my lover."
"Hello, nice to meet you." Ge Junxuan stretched his hands towards Shang Ke with a smile on his face.
Shang Ke could feel Wen Jingrong going stiff and knew what he was nervous about. Shang Ke didn't have any extreme reaction. He shook Ge Junxuan calmly. He didn't want to shame his man in front of others. Even if they had to have their love-hate relationship, that was their private "interesting" play.
Wen Jingrong's brows relaxed and a hint of delight can be seen in his eyes. His arm tightened around Shang Ke unconsciously.
This time round, it was Shang Ke's body which stiffened. The bright blessing pricked him causing his skin to hurt. He tried his very best to endure before barely stopping himself from trembling.
Shang Ke moved his heel and "gentle" stepped on Wen Jingrong's toes.
Wen Jingrong's eyes flashed but nothing could be seen on his face. He lightly pinched Shang Ke's waist as if placating his angered pet.
"It's so rare for us to meet, why don't we go to the bar for a drink?" Ge Junxuan suggested with interest.
Wen Jingrong looked at Shang Ke who was in his embrace and said, "Maybe next time. I still have something on today so I'm going back first.
Ge Junxuan shrugged his shoulders as he found it a pity.
An unknown rage filled Bai Lin's heart as he watched their leaving back figures. Shang Ke's appearance has disrupted Wen Jingrong and his intention to cooperate and has completely reduced him to a background. He didn't even have the chance to express himself. It only took one meeting for Bai Lin to feel hostile towards Shang Ke.
Wen Jingrong stuffed Shang Ke into the car and helped him put on the seatbelt. Then, he sat in the driver seat and sped to his villa at full power.
"How did you escape?" Wen Jingrong asked. His villa had tight security measures. Whenever they went out, there were also bodyguards protecting them secretly in the dark. Even if Shang Ke was able to escape, there was no way he could escape so quietly. In addition, he was never able to find Shang Ke's data. Wen Jingrong felt that Shang Ke's identity was rather strange. This feeling of being unable to keep things under his control made Wen Jingrong very irritable.
"I have my way." Shang Ke gave Wen Jingrong a glance and secretly complained: Would a "prisoner" tell the warden how he escaped?
Wen Jingrong also knew he wouldn't get an answer, so he changed to another question: "Why did you attend the party?"
"Accompany my girlfriend." Shang Ke answered heartlessly.
A sharp braking sound sounded. Wen Jingrong's face sank. He held tightly to the steering wheel as he tried his best to control the anger in his heart.
After a while, he started the car again and rushed back to the villa with his body full of negative energy all the way throughout.
They had just entered the door when Wen Jingrong pressed Shang Ke down on the entryway.
"From tomorrow onwards, I want you to stay by my side and don't even take a step away!" Wen Jingrong made this decision while moving in his body.
The next day, Wen Jingrong indeed brought Shang Ke to the office and settled him down in the lounge.
"There's a computer inside, you can spend your time on the internet. Tell me if you need anything. After speaking, Wen Jingrong lowered his head intending to kiss Shang Ke but was avoided instead.
Wen Jingrong's eye turned cold. With one hand hugging Shang Ke's waist and the other hand holding onto his head, Wen Jingrong gave him a deep kiss that cannot be rejected.
"Get used to it soon Shang Ke. Or else, I don't know whether I will do something that will hurt you or not." Wen Jingrong spoke beside Shang Ke's ear before he slowly let go and turned to leave the lounge.
Shang Ke gave the door a perfunctory kick before he walked to the computer and browsed the internet in great boredom.
Wen Jingrong sat before his office table and turned on the surveillance. He watched the situation in the lounge while settling his work.
At this moment, his computer received an email. He clicked it open and saw that it was an email from Bai Lin regarding the cooperation plan for the development project on Pano island.
Wen Jingrong looked through it carefully for a while. After being certain that there weren't any issues, he took out his magic pen intending to sign his name. Afterwards, he will submit this plan to the directors meeting and let them evaluate it. Once it gets approved, he can formally sign the cooperation agreement.
Ge Junxuan is a partner he trusts and Bai Lin's company also had some fame in the industry. They had no need to take the risk of losing their credibility to cheat him just for digging one or two billion of funds.
Wen Jingrong waved his hands in a practiced manner on the signature area. However, his signature didn't appear.
He furrowed his brows and tried his pen on other papers. The writing was smooth and didn't have any problems. However, he just couldn't sign on the cooperation plan.
Wen Jingrong felt uncertain and intended to change to another pen. However, the pen he was holding on to seemed to be stuck to his finger. He couldn't take it down no matter what.
What's going on? Why had he never realised that his pen was so crazy? Is it aging?
Wen Jingrong didn't dare use too much strength in fear that the pen would break. Just as he was wondering about what to do, his sight landed on the screen inadvertently. A thought suddenly came to his mind. Is there perhaps something wrong with this plan?
Wen Jingrong looked through it again. The regulations and responsibilities were clear, it was a normal cooperation plan.
However, Wen Jingrong believes that if something strange is happening, something must be going wrong. Upholding his cautious attitude, he decided to make a careful check on Bai Lin's Qingwei to avoid any possible risk.
Hence, he called a number and sent his order. After he ended the call, the pen that was stuck to his fingers fell naturally and landed on the table, causing a knocking sound.
Wen Jingrong couldn't help but laugh, "Did you turn intelligent?"
In the lounge, the corner of Shang Ke's lips went up and his smiling eyes curved. He looked happy.
The day passed by peacefully. After Wen Jingrong was done with work, he brought Shang Ke who had nothing to do back to the villa.
Ever since Wen Jingrong ate the food Shang Ke made, he will often ask someone to prepare new ingredients so that Shang Ke could use it any time he wishes to.
Shang Ke didn't treat Wen Jingrong harshly in the food aspect. No matter how "abusive" their love was, he didn't wish to harm Wen Jingrong's health.
After Wen Jingrong was fed full, the blessing on his body shone brightly. Shang Ke didn't want to be near him at all, so he could only sit on the sofa in the living room himself and watched the TV. The TV was showing a show that makes people who are watching vomit blood. The male and female lead mutually harm each other while being entangled together. They argue with each other non-stop while loving each other with their lives.
Of course, what Shang Ke was focusing on was not their shocking love story, but how they hurt each other. He felt that he could learn from them.
There were a few guidelines after he concluded everything. Firstly, various strange misunderstandings. Secondly, randomly being unreasonable. Thirdly, his inner "saint" must be overflowing.
Misunderstandings depend on the situation, so he will skip it for now. Moreover, he already had a "girlfriend". This misunderstanding can last for a while.
The essence of being a "saint" lies in forgiving any enemies that hurts him even when he is battered, "generously" passing over the person he loves, forever placing himself in the position of tragedy, using other people's generosity to achieve his own kindness, and being willing to help his enemy enthusiastically rather than supporting his own relatives and friends with a sound mind.
Shang Ke thought for a bit and felt that it was quite difficult. He can only play by ear. Now, the only thing that is left is "being unreasonable".
There were a few ways he can be unreasonable. Firstly, he can argue every time they have a disagreement. This didn't suit his style and would ruin his image. Pass. Secondly, he can create various types of problematic troubles. Thirdly, damage the things the other person treasures. And so on.
Shang Ke felt that he could try the second and third idea.
The thing that Wen Jingrong cares about the most at home was probably his laptop. There were many important documents stored inside his laptop. If it's damaged, it will definitely cause him to rage.
While Wen Jingrong was bathing, Shang Ke carried a cup of water and stood in front of the laptop which was running. As long as he poured this cup of water, the laptop will be spoiled. The devil in Shang Ke's heart let out a sinister laugh, urging Shang Ke to quickly act.
However, Shang Ke ultimately couldn't bear to do it after hesitating for a long time. It isn't easy for his man to support a company. It would be too cruel of him if he caused Wen Jingrong to suffer a great loss because he was "being unreasonable"!
Shang Ke took a deep breath. Let's change to something else! For example, he could try the cup Wen Jingrong often uses, or the suits Wen Jingrong loved to wear, or that pot of cactus on the windowsill.
Right. Wen Jingrong probably wouldn't bat an eyelid even if he broke ten thousand of those. Wen Jingrong might even build him a warehouse of things for him to break.
Then, is there anything that Wen Jingrong value but at the same time wouldn't cause him too much loss?
As he was thinking, Wen Jingrong came out from the bathroom with his body full of steam. Seeing Shang Ke standing before the laptop in a daze, he went over to hug him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shang Ke was shocked by the pain. He said dully, "Nothing." Just thinking how I can perfectly implement the "being unreasonable" plan.
"It's getting late, go wash up and prepare to sleep." It was rare for Wen Jingrong to see him being so obedient. He couldn't help but touch his head.
Shang Ke went to the bathroom very naturally. He only came to a realisation when he started bathing. Why was he being so obedient, what happened to being unreasonable!
Also, what was he bathing for as a spirit. His body is so clean even a drop of sweat can't be found okay?
Shang Ke turned off the shower head and stood in front of the mirror, hugging his chest while brooding. The bathroom was full of moisture. The obscured mirror reflected the image of his naked figure.
A thought suddenly came into Shang Ke's mind. He had thought of something that Wen Jingrong value but at the same time wouldn't cause him too much loss!
"It's you." Shang Ke pointed at the person in the mirror and said with a definite tone.
Hunger strike, jumping out of the window, cutting his wrist, nonviolent resistance... He can go as abusive as he likes!
After making his decision, Shang Ke walked out of the bathroom fiercely. He intends to implement his plan after a few days.
Wen Jingrong's eyes darken when he saw Shang Ke running out of the bathroom naked, but didn't voice it out. When his blood has rushed up, he caught Shang Ke onto the bed and started a new round of "punishment"...
A few days later, Shang Ke who had continuously lost quite an amount of negative energy finally prepared himself for a hungry strike.
"I will bring you to a place." Wen Jingrong suddenly said to Shang Ke after coming out of the company.
"What place?" Shang Ke was curious in his heart but appeared disinterested on the surface.
Wen Jingrong didn't answer immediately. Instead, he brought Shang Ke straight to a renovating factory workshop at the edge of the urban area.
Shang Ke looked at him in puzzlement.
Wen Jingrong smiled and said, "I intend to build a manual workshop here to settle down those unemployed workers.
A trace of surprise flashed past Shang Ke's eyes.
"Automated factories do not need too much labour force, but in this era where people seek for individuality, specially customised handmade items are still very popular." Wen Jingrong explained, "These handmade items do not need too much skill to make, but have complicated procedures. The products are fine and unique and will be attractive for young people. However, those workers have no experience and need a period of training first. Though, the people who fail will still be eliminated. I hope you understand this point."
Shang Ke looked at the factory workshop before him that was soon to be completed and waves of emotion could be felt in his heart. Wen Jingrong has actually quietly made arrangements for those unemployed workers when he wasn't paying attention. Strange. He was clearly brought along everywhere by Wen Jingrong everyday, why was he unaware of this? Don't tell me it was done when he snuck out? What should he do? He wished to hug his man so much, give him a deep kiss, then push him down on the floor, remove his pants and sit down on it!
What "being unreasonable"? How can he be unreasonable with his man? Stop joking. Our relationship couldn't be better!
Shang Ke pursed his lips tightly. It took him great strength to not reveal his true inner thoughts.
Wen Jingrong couldn't help but feel disappointed when he saw no expression on Shang Ke's face.
Don't be disappointed! I'm really very happy! Quick, give me a hug!
However, Wen Jingrong didn't hear his affectionate call. He said deeply, "I only wish for you to be happy when I did all this. I'm willing to spend my entire life fighting for your forgiveness and love."
Shang Ke lowered his head to prevent Wen Jingrong from seeing the emotion in his eyes.
Wen Jingrong stared deeply at him for a long time. Then, he held his hand and said warmly, "Let's go home."
Shang Ke didn't struggle despite his hand hurting very much from the stabbing.
Let's tell him the truth! He wished to have a proper relationship with him. No misunderstanding, no secrets, no falsity and not hurting.
However, how long can they be together when he lacks negative energy? Is the negative energy absorbed in the dream able to sustain the consumption in the day?
Shang Ke weighed it over and decided to experiment first.
At night, Shang Ke heartily had a round on the bed with Wen Jingrong without resisting.
Wen Jingrong was ecstatic. He excitedly hugged Shang Ke and had his fun. In the middle of the night, Shang Ke was woken up by the sound of Wen Jingrong's growling stomach. Hence, he got up and went into the kitchen to make him supper.
Wen Jingrong felt his empty embrace and woke up immediately. He rushed out of his room and only calmed down after finding Shang Ke in the kitchen.
"Just nice. I made two bowls of noodles. Let's eat together. Shang Ke washed his hands and placed the two bowls of noodles on the table.
Wen Jingrong looked at the hot piping noodles on the table, then looked at Shang Ke who was removing his apron. He almost thought that this was a dream.
He walked behind Shang Ke. While lowering his head to help Shang Ke remove the apron, he asked uncertainly, "Keke, you... are your willing to accept me now?"
Shang Ke looked at his palm which was disappearing and appearing because he was using up too much negative energy and said slowly, "Let's try dating for three months first okay?"
