Chapter 16.1

The man in his arms had a very soft voice.

There was a hazy soft light in those crescent smiling eyes. Furthermore, the clear and handsome face was filled with tranquil joy.

Gu Ye stared blankly.

He never knew that a man could show such a gentle and soft look.

It was like a hot spring trickling out from the heart, dripping into his body, flowing into the four limbs, and spread into every fingertip.

Warming up his entire being.

He knew that he was attracted to men.

But he never really acted on it.

And at this moment…

”

”

Gu Ye moved his lips and softly said, “… I am not your brother.”

His voice was close to a whisper, as if it was said while exhaling, and could only be heard by the two people who were very close to each other.

However Qiao Yang did not hear it, he fell back to sleep.

The pair of eyes were tightly closed and his brows were relaxed. There also seemed to be a faint smile on his face.

Gu Ye found his entire body had gone stiff from head to toe, to the point that the arms holding the man felt slightly numb.

He slowly released his breath then carried the man into the house. Seeing that there was a quilt placed on the living room’s sofa, he went over and laid the man flat on the sofa and opened the quilt to cover him.

The room was very quiet, and he could only hear the steady breathing of the man sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Gu Ye squatted in front of the sofa for quite a while before he remembered that this was Qiao Yang’s home.

He let out a light laugh as if he was mocking himself.

Soon after that, he stood up and turned around to leave.

Gu Ye called Geng Hui as he took the elevator going downstairs, “Bring me a set of clothes tomorrow to Hillside Hotel room number 1908. And find out why Qiao Yang suddenly moved to Century Residence.”

The interior condition of the room was furnished very simply, and it completely lacked decoration. At just a glance, it seemed like it was an emergency moved in, a last minute with no other alternative. Basically, it couldn’t be comfortable to stay here.

The Qiao family’s little young master, who was raised in a family with such a strong heritage, even if it was in order to get close to him, it was also impossible to stay in such a cobbled place like that.

Qiao Yang was woken up by the constant ringing of the doorbell.

“Who is it?” He called out hoarsely and sat up from the couch. He immediately frowned because of the headache caused by the hangover.

A round-faced man with round-framed eye-glasses ‒ Liu Wen ‒ could be seen through the surveillance screen at the entrance hall.

Liu Wen had Qiao Yang’s house card, so he could freely enter the complex and get on the elevator.

He stood waiting by the doorway anxiously.

Qiao Yang finally opened the door for him with the hair on his head in complete disarray. He saw that Qiao Yang was still wearing yesterday’s clothes, his pants and shirt were all crumpled from sleep, and a hint of an unpleasant smell was emitting from him.

Levin asked in astonishment, “Young Master Qiao, how did you-…… you drank a lot last night, right?”

Qiao Yang hmm-ed, “What brings you here?”

Once he spoke, he realized that his throat was dry and hoarse.

He coughed uncomfortably.

Liu Wen quickly went into the house and poured water for Qiao Yang while constantly nagging, “Young Master Qiao, it’s already eleven o’clock! I haven’t seen you at the company, and I can’t get through when I call you. I was worried sick.”

Qiao Yang massaged his swelling brain and haltingly said, “…It’s already so late.”

Liu Wen handed the water to Qiao Yang, the temperature he adjusted was just right, “You drink a glass of water first. I’ll get you breakfast.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Yang was still dazed and confused. He sluggishly reached for the glass of water and lifted it to his mouth.

His whole person was very lethargic and lazy, his hair and clothes were a complete mess, and completely lacking the touch of a boss’ appearance.

He sat on the sofa and drank the water like he was told with a confused look. He looked as obedient as a small child.

Looking at him, Liu Wen wanted to laugh. The reverence that he previously had toward his boss had weakened. It had been replaced with an uncontrollable desire to take care of him.

No matter what was said, the boss was also only a 23-year-old boy.

Recalling to when he first graduated college back then, he was also drinking, singing and playing with his buddies all night long.

Liu Wen said to him with slight disgust, “You’d better go take a shower first, this smell on your body is also too much. In the future, if you’re going to drink this much again, call me and ask me to come over, so I can at least take care of you a little.”

His body smells bad?

Qiao Yang suddenly stopped in the middle of taking a sip of the water, and immediately followed by a change in his expression. He spat out the water with a “poof!” then he coughs violently.

He remembered.

He remembered it all!

Last night… not only did he lock the door to Gu Ye’s house, but he-… he even cried in front of Gu Ye!!!

F*ck, f*ck!

Qiao Yang could not control the fear in his heart.

“What’s wrong? What’s going on?” Liu Wen quickly rushed over to pat him on the back, “You drink slowly ah, do not rush it. Look at your face, you are coughing until it’s red.”

“It’s-… It’s fine.” Qiao Yang handed the glass of water to Liu Wen then rushed to the bathroom in a panic, “I’m going to take a shower first.”

Qiao Yang held the shower-head to his head, then he also wildly shook his head trying to shake out this embarrassing memory.

How could he do something so humiliating? Gu Ye must have been furious at the time. The most important thing was the fact that he couldn’t remember anything that happened afterward.

How did he get back home and to bed? Then what about Gu Ye, where did he go?

Qiao Yang scrubbed his head full of shampoo foam in distress as he tried hard to recall what had happened after he cried. However, he couldn’t recall a thing.

Liu Wen had already prepared for him a simple breakfast and warm milk. Upon seeing Qiao Yang neat and clean appearance, he started nagging again, “There is only milk at home, so you can drink it first to warm your stomach. Later, I will buy you some stomach medicine on the way to work.”

Qiao Yang sat at the dining table and said, “I have something to do later. I can’t go to the company until I’m done.”

Liu Wen, “Do you want me to go with you?”

Qiao Yang, “No need, is there any important matter in the company?”

“There is nothing important either.” Liu Wen replied but then he thought of something. He took out a tablet, switched it on then handed it to Qiao Yang.

“Actually, Deputy Manager Li led everyone to make the planning documents and budget list for Qifengtai. Does Young Master Qiao look at it now?”

Qiao Yang said, “You explain the general idea about it to me.”

The screen was densely packed with columns of neat text, and various kinds of complex tables and graphs. He could barely understand what he was looking at.

“Yes.”
