The two quickly went on their first date, which took place in the nerve-wracking office.
The security guard nervously tugged at his clothes, his face flushed as he asked if anyone would notice. The domineering CEO gave a wicked smile and arrogantly sneered, "Even if they do notice, so what? They wouldn't dare tell anyone." The security guard blushed and playfully punched the CEO's chest.
Then came the much-anticipated kissing moment. The security guard was so nervous about his first kiss that he forgot to breathe and was kissed unconscious into the arms of the icy CEO.
Then this chapter ends.
Wen Cheng sighed in frustration. Why did it have to stop at such a crucial moment?! Although it was cheesy, he still really wanted to know the plot! And there was something he didn't understand earlier...
Wen Cheng exited the link and, while the other women were having a lively discussion, asked her own question.
[Wen Cheng]: If you don't understand, just ask. Don't people breathe through their mouths? Why would a security guard faint in the president's arms? Your wife is careless!
As soon as Wen Cheng said this, the chat room, which had been flooding with messages, paused for ten seconds in an eerie manner, before a large number of exclamation marks appeared.
Wen Cheng was surprised. Had he said something strange?
In the end, it was Gu Yuning who stepped in and ended the chaos.
[Gu Yuning]: @Wen Cheng, you're still young, it's normal that you don't understand, you'll understand later.
【Warm Orange】：......
As soon as Gu Yuning took action, the sisters in the group followed suit, and some who were even younger than Wen Cheng jumped out to laugh at Wen Cheng.
Wen Cheng angrily turned off her phone.
Meanwhile, in the staff cafeteria, a group of colleagues sitting around Gu Yuning nervously stared at Wen Cheng's profile picture.
"Damn, I really didn't expect Chengcheng to be in this group. I sent it out without even noticing."
"Me too, oh my god, what about the sisters who posted this? Will Chengcheng come after them?"
“Let’s share the responsibility then, after all, it was all of us who egged on the wife to write it.”
The other female colleagues all expressed their agreement.
Only Gu Yuning calmly took a sip of juice. "What are you afraid of? Chengcheng definitely didn't think of himself. I know him very well. If he were that smart, he wouldn't have done that."
"You won't know what?"
Gu Yuning waved her hand, "I wouldn't be so open about asking you guys in the group chat."
"Oh~" His colleagues immediately thought it made perfect sense, little did they know that Gu Yuning was thinking: Heh, if he were that smart, he would know that his older brother had already started to make a move against him!
Gu Yuning sneered inwardly. She had carefully kept the two necklaces, waiting for the day when the two Wen brothers, who were so arrogant, would actually get together, so she could return them and give them a good humiliation!
"Ningning, your expression is a little scary!" a colleague said sincerely.
...
Feeling slighted, Wen Cheng refused to remain an idiot in this field, so she picked up her phone to research it on Zhihu (a Chinese Q&A website).
Just then, Wen Qi walked in from outside and saw Wen Cheng eating half of her meal, not even touching her chopsticks, just focused on playing on her phone. The way he managed his younger brother's behavior made him frown subconsciously.
"Just eat, why are you playing on your phone halfway through your meal?"
Wen Cheng quickly put away her phone, but a hint of resentment still lingered on her face. She thought that Brother Qi must understand what he meant. Wen Cheng subconsciously felt that Wen Qi was omnipotent.
Therefore,
"Brother Qi, why do you think kissing can make you faint? Don't people breathe through their noses?" Even when Wen Cheng asked this kind of question, her eyes were full of frankness, as if she had completely forgotten what Wen Qi had said not long ago about avoiding suspicion. How could she ask her brother such a question about relationships?
Author's Note:
Mwah~
Chapter 39 Do you really want to know?
"You really want to know?" Wen Qi's expression became serious, a feeling that was unfamiliar to Wen Cheng. If he had to put it into words, it would be that Brother Qi's current appearance was full of aggression, something that a lazy bum like him couldn't resist.
"Qi, Brother Qi?" Wen Cheng called out to Wen Qi subconsciously, her voice incredibly soft.
Wen Qi exhaled a breath of stale air, withdrawing his oppressive aura, and finally said, "You'll understand this kind of thing once you experience it. Not being able to breathe through your nose doesn't necessarily mean that person is stupid; it might just mean they like someone else too much."
Wen Cheng seemed to understand, but still couldn't help giving Wen Qi a thumbs up.
Wen Qi sighed and muttered a call for dinner.
Wen Qi has witnessed Wen Cheng's enormous appetite both at home and at the company these past few days, so he asked Secretary Zhao to pack food for two people at the cafeteria, which was allowed on the premise that Wen Cheng doesn't gain weight from eating.
After eating the warm orange, he started to feel sleepy, so Wen Qi asked him to change into a comfortable set of pajamas.
After changing, Wen Cheng thoughtfully came out and asked Wen Qi if he wanted to rest.
Wen Qi paused for a moment while looking at the computer, then said, "Go ahead, I still have work to do."
"But Brother Qi, how will you have the energy to work this afternoon if you don't rest?" Wen Cheng's tone carried a hint of longing. This time, he was genuinely concerned about Wen Qi's health. Wen Qi was too responsible at work, and working overtime at night was a regular occurrence. Especially these past few days, he hadn't seen Brother Qi go to bed at ten o'clock.
"I've been a bit busy these past few days."
"That's why you need to rest even more, Brother Qi! If you don't rest, I'll tell Dad!" Wen Cheng brought up Wen Yongwang, since his father dotes on him a lot these days!
"Hmph, you little tattletale." Although Wen Qi said this, he stood up. He was indeed very tired these past few days, but this was just his usual routine. Few people would ask him to rest more. Just as Wen Qi stood up, Xiao Mao's head had just left the office area, and he subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
When Wen Qi changed into his pajamas and came to the room, he saw Wen Cheng sleeping very obediently on the edge of the big bed.
My good mood was teetering on the edge of getting angry again.
"Are you trying to make me wake up and fish you out from under the bed?"
Wen Cheng was taken aback, her eyes widening. "Big brother, how could you think of me like that? Didn't you say before that brothers should avoid suspicion? Do you think I've gone too far in avoiding suspicion?"
Wen Qi sneered: "I think you just wanted to trick me into going back and getting scolded by my aunt, so you brought a younger brother and dragged him under the bed."
"How could that be!" Wen Cheng sat up abruptly, determined to prove his innocence. How could he be such a person!
Wen Qi rubbed his forehead in annoyance. "Then sleep in the middle. Didn't you say you weren't interested in people right now? Just sleep quietly, and I won't scold you like last time."
"Really?" Wen Cheng asked uncertainly, but her eyes also held a peculiar light.
Wen Qi lifted a corner of the blanket and got in, this time not deliberately keeping the blanket so far away, but naturally sleeping in the middle.
"Really," Wen Qi's voice was tinged with weariness; he was truly exhausted.
Wen Cheng obediently avoided causing Wen Qi any trouble and carefully moved over. On the surface, Wen Cheng seemed carefree, but subconsciously, once she identified with someone, she would rely on them. For example, the headmaster she lived with when she was little; she would sneak into his room a few nights a month to sleep with him, which gave Wen Cheng a great sense of security.
Now Wen Cheng knows that the person she came from is Wen Qi.
"Brother Qi," Wen Cheng called out softly.
"Hmm?" Wen Qi's voice sounded a little hoarse and ethereal, but he still tried his best to respond to Wen Cheng.
"Can I hold your hand while we sleep? I watched a horror movie last night." Wen Cheng gave herself a very lame excuse.
Wen Qi knew in his heart that Wen Cheng's current dependence on him was largely due to his current status and the sense of security he provided to Wen Cheng. But that was enough. He gave Wen Cheng enough security, provided him with the safest and most comfortable haven, and ultimately made it impossible for Wen Cheng to leave him.
He knew this was cunning, but he found he didn't have the power to control his feelings. He could only watch them develop unchecked, breaking through his rock-hard heart to find the sun that had always warmed him.
Just as Wen Cheng was starting to feel a little disappointed, a hand slipped under her blanket. The dry palm was warm, and Wen Cheng happily took it with her other hand, snuggling against the pillow that smelled of detergent before falling asleep.
This was one of the few times Wen Cheng slept so comfortably. Throughout her sleep, Wen Cheng never let go of Wen Qi's hand, and occasionally, in her sleep, she would knead Wen Qi's fingers as if kneading a baby.
Wen Qi struggled for a long time in this bittersweet pain before finally falling asleep. The long hours of hard work had made him forget the time he should have gotten up.
Wen Cheng, who had slept for a few hours in the morning, woke up early, but he was still quite angry. When he opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the wall, it was already four o'clock.
But the hand was still inside the blanket.
Wen Cheng felt an indescribable joy. Looking at Qi Ge beside him, he realized that Qi Ge had unconsciously slept even closer to him, so close that he could clearly see the tiny pores on Wen Qi's face.
Only upon closer inspection did Wen Cheng realize how thick Qi Ge's eyelashes were; they could practically be used as eyeliner. No wonder Qi Ge's eyes always looked so bright and lively. However, he had dark circles under his eyes that he couldn't hide, which made Wen Cheng feel sorry for him. But even that couldn't diminish Qi Ge's good looks.
Wen Cheng suddenly had a brain fart and thought of that ridiculous fanfiction. The icy, domineering CEO in it had to be someone like Brother Qi to be worthy of the title. And Brother Qi was already twenty-seven years old. Would Brother Qi like a security guard who looked like an innocent little rabbit? Come to think of it, his previous job was a security guard.
Um,
Um?
How can this plot fit so perfectly?
Before Wen Cheng could finish her internal questioning, Wen Qi suddenly opened his eyes. Qi-ge's eyes were very deep, so most of the time Wen Cheng felt that they were very mysterious. There were many profound things that Wen Cheng could not understand from those eyes.
Their eyes met, and they stared at each other for about ten seconds.
In the end, Wen Cheng gave in, covering her face shyly, "Brother Qi, I'll feel embarrassed if you look at me like that~"
Wen Qi immediately looked away.
"What time is it?" The husky voice had a magnetic quality that made Wen Cheng feel a tingling sensation for a while.
"Four o'clock," Wen Cheng answered honestly.
Wen Qi covered his eyes in a daze, and couldn't help but let out a hum. Wen Cheng suddenly realized that her older brother, who had just woken up, was strangely, strangely cute.
Although in the end Wen Qi forced himself to work overtime until 8 o'clock before going home, Wen Cheng, as a very well-behaved and considerate younger brother, also finished his work and waited for Wen Qi in the office while playing games.
Although the results didn't seem very good, Wen Cheng was still happy to be able to stay until she could leave work with Brother Qi.
Sitting in the car on the way home, Wen Qi looked unusually pale. While waiting at a traffic light, he couldn't help but say, "Play less of those games in the future."
Wen Cheng giggled, "Brother Qi, you're a game developer yourself, why would you hate your competitors?"
Wen Qi snorted coldly, his words laced with utter sarcasm, "Am I talking about the game? I'm talking about you. You don't even know those people, yet you think you can just let them call you husband and wife?"
After getting off work at eight o'clock, Wen Cheng had her phone on speakerphone. At least five people called her "husband," and some of them were men. Wen Cheng didn't respond, but she didn't refuse either!
Wen Cheng scratched his head in distress. Showing off his skills in front of girls is something most guys like, although he doesn't find it particularly enjoyable, but he's used to it and rarely sees anyone point it out.
"So, should I mute my teammates from now on?"
Wen Qi gripped the steering wheel tightly, gave a vague "hmm," and added at the end, "You just need to learn to handle things properly."
This did sound like something an older brother would say, so Wen Cheng didn't doubt it too much and genuinely accepted Brother Qi's suggestion.
When the two returned home, the rest of the family had already finished eating and gone for a walk.
Wen Yongwang looked sour and asked unhappily, "Chengcheng, is your department also working overtime this late today?"
Wen Cheng immediately denied it in her heart. How could that be? If he got off work this late, he would make a scene!
"No, I'm accompanying my older brother home from get off work. He's been working so hard these past few days~" Wen Cheng was constantly trying to show off her pitifully small amount of filial piety.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yongwang immediately turned his attention to his eldest son.
