Chapter 38: The Rival Always Wants to Taste Him Again [38]

Chapter 38: His Nemesis Can't Stop Wanting Another Taste of Him "38"

"Then let him hate me, then."

Ye Qi said nonchalantly, his tone even sounding a bit pleased because Shi Mo had rejected Lin Ran.

As for Lin Ran...

He'd make sure Lin Ran never had it in him to hate again.

Shi Mo shook his phone and asked:

"So I'm straight-up throwing you under the bus here, and you're not even mad?"

Ye Qi held his wrist and pressed a kiss to his fingertips:

"Why would I be angry?"

"A Mo, I'm glad you thought of me when something came up. Doing this proves that you still need me."

"Whenever, whatever you do, as long as you need me, I'll always be right behind you, yours to use however you want."

Ye Qi's tone was serious, his eyes full of tender, lingering affection, with love and joy he couldn't hide, like a siren trying to lure someone into drowning in them.

Shi Mo could clearly feel his heart pick up speed, a strange glint flickering in his eyes as he smiled softly:

"Really... I can use you however I want?"

He slowed his voice, the last word trailing up, with an indescribable, seductive edge.

"Mm..."

Shi Mo ended up falling asleep in Ye Qi's arms.

Ye Qi looked at the sleeping Shi Mo, let out a contented sigh, and placed a kiss on the corner of his eye.

Only then did he grab his phone and open up Cheng Ziyu's message.

Cheng Ziyu: "I'm just about ready on my side, but I have to warn you, Lin Ran might get desperate. You'd better watch your back lately."

Cheng Ziyu: "It's been this long and CEO Ye still hasn't made a move. Did he not see what's online, or is he cooking something up again?"

Ye Qi: "You seem to know an awful lot."

Cheng Ziyu: "Oh? Finally decided to text back, huh?"

Ye Qi: "Can't help it, my wife's just too clingy."

Ye Qi: "Oh, that reminds me—your guy still won't even let you through the door since you brought him home last time, huh?"

Cheng Ziyu: "..."

Cheng Ziyu: "Want me to sell your info to Lin Ran right now? I'm pretty sure he'd love that."

Ye Qi: "Go ahead, sell it."

Ye Qi: "I don't mind filling A Mo in on this either. You know, A Mo and your guy get along pretty well."

Cheng Ziyu: "..."

Cheng Ziyu: "Ye Qi, you've got no shame at all. How did I never figure out you were like this?"

Ye Qi: "Same to you—you had zero shame chasing your wife either, or we never would've met on that forum."

Ye Qi: "But for now, I'll just have to wish you luck."

Cheng Ziyu: "Tsk... Like you've already won. How do you have the nerve to say that when you're just a secret lover who can't even show his face in public?"

Ye Qi: "He's really into me now. I'm already planning the proposal, just a few more days."

Ye Qi: "Still better than someone who hasn't even made it to bed partner status. Cheng Ziyu, sometimes you can't blame Cheng Sunan—maybe your skills just aren't up to par. Practice more; working your way up with skill isn't a bad move."

Cheng Ziyu went quiet.

But when Ye Qi sent over those study materials, he still accepted them in a heartbeat.

Ye Qi smirked slightly, then went to reply to a few other people's messages. Finally, his eyes landed on Yun Mujin's message, and he paused for a second before tapping in.

Ye Qi had barely sent one reply when messages started flooding in one after another:

Yun Mujin: "Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! Ye Qi, did you really cause all that stuff online? No way, you wouldn't do something that low."

Yun Mujin: "Where's A Mo? Is he with you? I can't reach him right now. If he's with you, tell him to get online and check things out."

Yun Mujin: "Lin Ran is confessing to him across the entire internet!"

Yun Mujin: "No wait, I think he's trying to smear you two, and he doesn't have any evidence."
