Chapter 58: My Hubby is My "Love Rival"
In the main hall of the Qi family grand mansion, Qi Zhifan and Old Master Qi, these two grandfather and grandson were silently confronting each other with their eyes. Both of them were enveloped in a terrible and overcast aura.
Upon seeing this, Wei Han, standing next to Qi Zhifan, tightened his lips and didn’t dare open his mouth.
“Zhifan, you’ve made up your mind? You’re choosing him and not wanting this grandfather?” After a long time, Old Master Qi said in a heavy voice, a sharp tip of light flashing through his narrowed eyes.
“If I can, I want to ask for grandpa’s consent.”
“Impossible! I won’t accept this sort of thing,” Old Master Qi, eyes cold, unhesitatingly said.
He also knew that as he got older, his ears gradually softened. Maybe if he spent a long time with Wei Han, he could slowly accept this ‘grandson’. But this absolute didn’t include calmly accepting Wei Han and his most loved Qi Zhifan being together.
This was simply too preposterous and ridiculous!
Although his grandpa was already angry, Qi Zhifan was still calm and composed. As if saying something ordinary: “Whether you agree or not, I will marry Wei Han.”
“You!” Old Master Qi smiled with extreme anger. “Heh, you and Qi Hao, that reckless youngster, are really worthy of being father and son.”
Old Master Qi a little regretted that maybe he shouldn’t have loved Qi Zhifan so much at the beginning. He’d always thought that the child was very clever and calm, not like his confused father. Obviously their temperament were completely different, but in their marriages, this major event in their lives, they would be so disobedient to him, insisting on angering him to death!
“……” Qi Zhifan was silent for a while. As a child, he couldn’t understand his father Qi Hao’s behavior. When his mother had died, he’d even hated Qi Hao for some time. But now, he could deeply understand this kind of feeling.
“I just want to be with my beloved.”
When Old Master Qi saw this, his chest was so smothered it hurt. “Zhifan, I will wait for you to regret it.”
When the voice just fell, Qi Zhifan shook his head. “Sorry, grandpa, you may never see this day.”
Afterwards, Old Master Qi took a step back and waved them away. Maybe he really was old, but he didn’t say anything like breaking off their relationship in a fit of fury. But he also clearly expressed that if Qi Zhifan had some matters later, he shouldn’t look to anyone from the Qi family for help.
Without the support of the Qi family, those who’d approached Qi Zhifan because of his ident.i.ty also gradually came up with various excuses to distance themselves from him and no longer contacted him. It was inevitable that he’d lose more than half of his connections and money, but the present Qi Zhifan was different: he didn’t care at all.
The two people turned and walked to the door. Wei Han suddenly looked back and saw that Old Master Qi was leaning on the sofa without strength, and it’d be a long time before he could be his usual self. He only felt that he seemed to have aged a year, and couldn’t help but feel distressed.
“Take care, grandpa.” With too much to apologize for, Wei Han deeply bowed to him.
Qi Zhifan pulled Wei Han. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
In the end, the two people’s ten fingers were tightly clasped, and they slowly moved out of Old Master Qi’s sight, away from the Qi family grand mansion.
This day, Jiang Chenghui was discharged.
Not only the Jiang family’s two younger brothers, but Pei Yuyang and Pan Xin, who’d been running over to take care of her for half a month, also came. At the same time, Wei Han also came to help. Qi Zhifan just happened to be free, so he also accompanied him.
Little Yi watched the three pairs of adults show their blossoming displays of love in front of him, and his entire body felt unwell.
Jiang Chengrui and the others finished handling the relevant procedures and took her luggage of clothes downstairs. In the ward at this time, only Jiang Chenghui and Pan Xin were left.
Pan Xin reached out and wanted to help Jiang Chenghui, but she faintly refused, “Pan Xin, my body is already well. You don’t need to keep following me.”
Pan Xin shook his head, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said something astonishing, “Little Hui, I came back this time to marry you.”
“……” Jiang Chenghui was instantly stunned, her face also couldn’t help but blush, “You…don’t joke around!”
“I’m serious. Little Hui, will you marry me?”
Indeed, there was no hint of a joke in Pan Xin’s black eyes, and his face was filled with sincerity.
Jiang Chenghui was silly for a bit. Her brain was unable to think for a moment, so she became fl.u.s.tered and escaped from Pan Xin. She rushed to open the door, wanting to run out from this ambiguous and awkward atmosphere.
“Aiyo!”
The door was suddenly opened, and Little Yi, who was stuck to the door eavesdropping, was caught off guard and cried out. He fell into the arms of his brother Jiang Chengrui.
Jiang Chenhui looked up and seeing this, her face turned even redder.
Outside the ward, in addition to her two younger brothers, Wei Han and the other three were all there. What Pan Xin said inside, they wouldn’t have heard it all?
Looking at the few people’s startled expression, she didn’t dare continue to think about it and lowered her head and ran out. Soon, Pan Xin also followed and chased after her.
Two days after Jiang Chenghui left the hospital, Pei Yuyang accompanied Jiang Chengrui to go home and see her.
“Jiang Chengrui, do as you like. From now on, I don’t want to manage your affairs, and also can’t manage it.”
Jiang Chenghui directly indicated her att.i.tude. After so many days of torment—they’d quarreled over it, and she herself had also entered the hospital several times—but still seeing her brother so insistent, she was also tired.
“Sister, I’m sorry, I…”
Jiang Chenghui interrupted him, “There’s no need to say anything more. You should take care of your own.”
Finished speaking, she walked into her own room and shut the door firmly.
“Sister, I will definitely come visit you and Little Yi often. And, I wish you and Brother Pan Xin happiness!” Jiang Chengrui shouted at the door.
“……” Jiang Chenghui in the room didn’t say a word to reject this.
Letting Jiang Chengrui talk to his sister, Pei Yuyang on the other side was teasing Little Yi and the family’s five dogs, but both didn’t want to provoke the owner.
“Purple Sheep, if my brother runs back home crying later, I won’t spare you ah!”
Little Yi said this and rubbed his fists. The five Chihuahuas around his feet were also staring badly at Pei Yuyang.
“Yes, yes, yes. Except in bed, I would hate to let Curlie cry.”
Little Yi heard this, digested the meaning behind the words, and then wheeled his little fists and shouted in the next second, “Sure enough, I still can’t give my brother to you, this kind of unscrupulous person!”
The small fists beat on his body without hurting, and Pei Yuyang picked up Little Yi, smiled and placated, “Be good. I’ll buy you a lot of snacks and toys. I’ll buy whatever you like.”
The voice hadn’t fallen when Little Yi beamed, “Brother Yuyang, please enjoy my brother as much as you like in bed.”
“f.u.c.k! What are you two talking about? Looking for death!” Jiang Chengrui, who’d just come out from the back room, just happened to hear this and fumed.
“Nothing. We were praising you.”
Playing innocent, the adult and child said in unison, showing a tacit understanding that they usually didn’t have.
Jiang Chengrui: “……”
With nothing left to do in the country, Ou Yizhe booked a ticket back to the United States. The day before leaving, he called Qi Zhifan out and said he had something he wanted to say in person.
At the door of their home, Wei Han straightened the tie for Qi Zhifan and handed the coat to him.
Qi Zhifan paused and suddenly said, “Wei Han, if you don’t trust me to see him alone, you can go with me.”
Wei Han waved his hand and smiled. “Bro’s a busy man. Where would I have so much free time? You just go and come back quickly. I’ll wait for you to come back for dinner tonight.”
“Alright,” Qi Zhifan responded, and kissed Wei Han before he left. In the days to come, they would certainly trust each other more.
After arriving at the appointed place, when Ou Yizhe saw Qi Zhifan, the vigor in his face dimmed. The first sentence he said was: “Zhifan, I’m sorry.”
Qi Zhifan was slightly surprised and didn’t speak.
“Although it’s too late now and you also don’t care, but I still owe you an apology,” eyes lowered, Ou Yizhe continued to say.
“This is what you wanted to say?” Qi Zhifan asked. His voice was tranquil and undisturbed, but the sound held a faint estrangement.
Sensing this estrangement, Ou Yizhe forced a smile and nodded. “Yeah.”
“It’s okay. It’s over. Maybe I should thank you instead.”
Yes, perhaps Qi Zhifan should also thank Ou Yizhe. Because he’d missed out on Ou Yizhe, he could meet Wei Han later.
“Is that right? Zhifan, I hope you and Wei Han can be happy.”
“Thanks, we’ve always been very well.”
The next day, Leng Yan sent Ou Yizhe to the airport.
“Michael, I don’t know when I would come back after leaving this time. You’re always welcome to come to America to see me.” Taking the luggage from Leng Yan’s hand, Ou Yizhe patted Leng Yan.
Leng Yan gently nodded. “Yeah.”
Ou Yizhe shrugged helplessly at his unfathomable response. The Leng Yan that he knew was still the same as usual. Indeed, this person clearly said surprisingly few words, but he could use words to describe so many moving stories was quite strange.
“Right, Michael, the benefactor you’ve been looking for, did you find him?”
Leng Yan shook his head with a sense of loss.
Ou Yizhe lightly sighed. Laughing helplessly, he changed the subject. “Ai, speaking of that Chu Chuanyao, I can see he’s quite interested in you. Although he looks like me, but he’s a lot purer and simpler than me. You can try to think about it.” Saying this, he hit Leng Yan with his elbow.
The 1.9-meter Leng Yan remained motionless, still standing stiffly without saying anything in response.
“You’re not young anymore, almost twenty-eight years old. Heheh, don’t think that I don’t know that you still haven’t even talked about love…” blinking his two eyes, Ou Yizhe whispered these few words into his ear.
In an instant, a light flashed in Leng Yan’s dark eyes. They became darker, and the thin lips drew tighter: “……”
“Haha, even your shy reaction is different from normal people.”
“Well, I should go.” Finally, Ou Yizhe embraced Leng Yan.
“Take care, Cyril.”
Having sent off Ou Yizhe, Leng Yan drove back to the company and involuntarily thought about this issue on the way.
Actually, when he was reminded by Ou Yizhe, he felt that he really could consider Chu Chuanyao. Anyway, he didn’t hate seeing Chu Chuanyao. Since he’d never met a ‘love at first sight’ romance, then ‘familiarity breeds fondness, the thin stream flows long’ was also good.
Back at the company, after finishing some business, Leng Yan went on his own penguin writer account. A few moments later, a lot of news and alerts jumped out. Ignoring the pile of news from the author group, Leng Yan directly clicked on his editor, Plum Big Ball.
Plum Big Ball, Ball Brother sitting won’t change his surname, walking won’t change his name, was called such a name. About two years younger than Leng Yan, he used to be a fan and now was his editor.
Three years ago when Ball Brother had just switched to be an editor and taken over Leng Yan from the lead editor’s hands, his heart was quite excited and he couldn’t sleep all night long. The result was that he found out later that he, this newcomer, was pitted on a road of no return.
And Ball Brother didn’t know that the note Leng Yan gave him had always been ‘Stupid Ball’.
Plum Big Ball【Great Hot, your “Love Rival” is almost over, right? I’ve seen your outline. That, can the ending be…】
Although he knew that the possibility was minimal, Plum Big Ball still had a glimmer of hope. During these three years, almost every time the end approached, he would come to persuade Leng Yan.
Leng Yan, who always ignored these requests, suddenly thought of the clever Chu Chuanyao, and quickly replied.
Hot【will change a bit】
Plum Big Ball【Σ( ° △ °|||)︴I…I didn’t see wrong? No…no way! I have to take screenshots. This is a lifetime event ah!】
Afterwards, Plum Big Ball, excited as if on drugs, repeatedly used a variety of crazy facial expression to cover the screen. Leng Yan in front of the screen didn’t change his face and silently went offline.
On the weekend mornings, Wei Han and Qi Zhifan, these two husbands always had to stay in bed for a while. Precisely speaking, it was the warmth after the pa.s.sion.
From the night before ‘battling’ until the early hours of the morning, Qi Zhifan began to stir again. Two smooth, naked bodies sticking together, he pressed on Wei Han’s body and licked Wei Han’s sensitive earlobe and neck, while his big palm pinched the round, upturned b.u.t.t, slender fingers occasionally lingering in the middle seam, teasing.
Hearing Wei Han couldn’t bear it and let out a groan, Qi Zhifan’s fingers no longer wandered at the entrance and simply penetrated in and stirred. Wait until he’d made Wei Han comfortable, then he’d have to the chance to go in and enjoy this tight and fine ecstasy.
Suddenly, Wei Han’s phone rang out at this inopportune time.
Wei Han jumped in fright. Fearing that it was an emergency, he quickly pushed Qi Zhifan away and stretched out his arm to grope for it. As for Qi Zhifan who had his happy occasion interrupted, his face instantly turned black.
Wei Han saw with a look that it was a call from ‘Chu Chuanyao’. Feeling somewhat strange, he wanted to lean over his body and pick it up. Qi Zhifan was dead-set on pressing against him, insisting on moving closer to listen together.
Wei Han smiled helplessly. Without any other way, he answered the phone. “Hey, Little Yao. This early in the morning, what’s the matter?”
At that end of the phone, Chu Chuanyao was extremely nervous and with a trembling voice: “Wei…Big Brother Wei, I…I accidentally slept with…”
“Ah?!” Wei Han suddenly stared with rounded eyes. Still thinking he’d heard wrong: “You…you say that again.”
“A…a man slept with me.”
“……” Wei Han was stunned. Digesting the matter for a moment, his thoughts took a turn. “Could it be…Leng Yan?”
If it were Leng Yan, then wouldn’t it be to everyone’s satisfaction? Both of them were perfect.
“No, it’s someone else.”
f.u.c.k! Wei Han was struck a blow again and couldn’t help but rub his eyebrows. “Then who is it ah?”
“My…my cla.s.smate from university.”
Last night, Chu Chuanyao went to his university cla.s.s reunion. As a result, he drank too much, got drunk and accidentally rolled into bed with someone else.
After a three-second silent tribute to Chu Chuanyao’s accidentally lost virginity, Wei Han frowned and said, “Little Yao, then you don’t like him. This…”
“Big Brother Wei, I actually did chat with him a lot when I was in school. After graduating, I still had some contact. But I didn’t expect that this would happen now. He said that he would take responsibility and then he confessed to me and begged me to date him.”
After hearing this, Wei Han had a look of consternation. “Then did you reject him?”
“I…I didn’t…” Chu Chuanyao weakly said.
Wei Han: “……”
So wasn’t this you already deciding on being together already, then notifying me?
After Wei Han hung up the phone, Qi Zhifan touched his chin and lightly said, “This is also good.”
“Good?” Wei Han blinked his puzzled eyes.
Qi Zhifan nodded. “Yeah. Anyway, Chu Chuanyao and Leng Yan aren’t well-suited. It’s estimated that he doesn’t even understand anything about love before.”
Hearing this, after Wei Han thought about it, Little Yao was really immature on emotional matters. In the beginning, he’d bitterly pressed on with his unrequited love for his female teacher. Later, when he was rescued by Leng Yan once in the hotel, he suddenly told himself that he was moved by Leng Yan.
At the same time, Wei Han also silently lit a candle for “Six Hot” in his heart.
Leng Group corporate building, Leng Yan’s office.
As if having done something wrong, Chu Chuanyao’s head hung down, and he handed Leng Yan his resignation with both hands. Seeing that he hadn’t taken it, Chu Chuanyao gently placed it on the desk.
“Mr. Leng, I’m sorry, I’ve always been…in short, I should have caused you so much trouble.”
Before meeting the person who was genuine to them, the immature people will always have to take a winding road. Chu Chuanyao was also the same.
Since Leng Yan saved him once, he’d been grateful. Later, after seeing Leng Yan, Chu Chuanyao may have developed a deep worship after he’d learned of his ident.i.ty as the president. But he’d mistaken this feeling for love.
“Take it back,” the always silent Leng Yan finally opened his mouth. He took the resignation and returned it to Chu Chuanyao, faintly saying, “Live well with him.”
“Thank you! Mr. Leng, you’re such a good person.”
Leng Yan: “……”
After living for more than twenty years, the he who had always been sent the good person card, every time he was slightly moved a little bit in his mind, the result would be that he hadn’t even held the little hand before he fell down as the cannon fodder.
With an extremely depressed mood, Leng Yan returned home and then turned on his computer. After sitting for five or six hours, he wrote up the rather lengthy final chapter.
After setting it to release at twelve midnight, Leng Yan went to sleep. When he woke up the next day, Leng Yan simply swept a glance and the message area under the book was really a mourning, covering several pages of posts. There was even someone who was so angry they posted a 10,000-word commentary ent.i.tled “Commemorating Big Hot’s Tenth BE Novel”.
Leng Yan was slightly stunned a bit. He’d written for five years and unknowingly, had he witnessed ten couples?
Seeing the friends he knew around him were almost all paired up, and he was still alone, “Big Hot” inside…
The QQ dididi incessantly. Editor Plum Big Ball’s ‘bombardment’ came over.
Plum Big Ball【yingyingying, great one, you actually deceived my feelings. You told me three days ago that you would change it! I have pictures and evidence!
The result was that it was even worse than the original ending! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻】
Hot【Mm】
Plum Big Ball【(ノ｀Д)ノ ‘Mm’ your sister! Every time I finish reading your book, I would never believe in love again!】
Hot【congratulatory message】
Plum Big Ball【Ah ah ah! (≧口≦) Leng Yan! You old virgin, beware that if you keep writing like this, you’d really be doomed to a lonely life _ (: з) ∠ 】
Hot【. . . . . . Then I’m not writing [goodbye]】
Plum Big Ball【Σ( ° △ °|||)︴Yamete! Your majesty, this little one was wrong, you must not take it to heart. When are you going to open a new pit?】
Hot【[auto reply] h.e.l.lo, I have something at the moment. I will contact you again later】
After opening the auto reply, Leng Yan was too lazy to manage Plum Big Ball. When he went to the company, he wasn’t in the mood to drive himself so he called his driver.
Sitting in the car, Leng Yan’s 1.9-meter imposing body was wrapped in a large black coat. Black and profound eyes under pitch-black, sword eyebrows slightly hung down, making people impossible to see through. Although the eyes looked very elegant at first glance, but they gave people a sense of oppression that they didn’t dare to approach.
At the moment, Leng Yan wore a famous watch on his left wrist, while a small green snake circled his right wrist. He touched the small triangular head with his fingertip, and as a result, the little snake opened its mouth and bit him.
The driver Little Zhu looked in the rearview mirror and the smile on his lips turned rigid. “Boss, it’s just been a while, it…it’s already bitten you several times today. Aren’t you worried?”
Leng Yan shook his head. “No harm. Little Jade seems to be excited.”
“Excited? Could it be in heat? It shouldn’t be at this time ah!” Little Zhu puzzled.
Leng Yan didn’t say a word. He also couldn’t figure out why.
The light turned red and the car stopped. Suddenly, Little Jade jerked up, quickly slithering away from Leng Yan’s wrist. It slightly flicked its tail and laid on the window of the car. It seemed like it was attracted by something outside, arousing the little snake to flicker out its tongue.
Leng Yan couldn’t help but cast a curious gaze out the window. Next to their car, there was a young man wearing a white T-shirt and riding a bicycle. He was just waiting at the red light.
The young man had short, black hair and a white clean face with two black eyes. The corner of the eyes were slightly raised, the slight hook hard to resist.
Soon, the light turned green, and the car slowly started moving. The youth also stepped on his bike. His white T-shirt was swept by the wind, and the smooth and firm lower abdomen was faintly discernible. His long, well-balanced thighs flexed repeatedly with the movements of a treadmill, and also outlined the tight and robust leg lines.
Suddenly, Leng Yan seemed to have received a blow!
But when he looked again, the youth on the bike had already turned a corner and disappeared from his sight.
“What’s the matter, boss?” The driver Little Zhu suddenly realized Leng Yan’s desolate appearance.
“It’s nothing, keep going,” Leng Yan faintly said, touching the equally disappointed Little Jade.
Life needed to wait. The misses and regrets of the moment were for a better meeting and reunion the next time.
A week later, Wei Han and Qi Zhifan, and Jiang Chengrui and Pei Yuyang, the four of them met up and sat down together on a plane to the United Kingdom to register for marriage there.
On the plane, also not knowing what ‘naughty things’ they’d done the night before the departure, but the somewhat tired Jiang Chengrui and Pei Yuyang were already nestled together and had fallen asleep. And behind them, Wei Han and Qi Zhifan’s heads were together as they read the follow up to “Love Rival” on their cell phones.
The readers hadn’t seemed to guess what “Big Hot” thoughts were, and absolutely hadn’t expected that a week after the sad and regretful ending, he’d go over the other couple in the story in the extra. Reading the story’s development, it seemed like they could look forward to a sweet ending.
“Wei Han, why did you say in that notebook that I was your love rival in your past life?” Suddenly, Qi Zhifan thought of this point that he hadn’t figured out.
Wei Han was silly. The sentence he’d written in the “Odd Trouble Grievances Record” was a product of his brain fever at that time. He couldn’t explain the matter of his rebirth.
Wei Han smirked, “Heheh, this is a secret. I won’t tell you.”
Qi Zhifan’s brows creased and he immediately tickled Wei Han. “Are you sure you won’t say?”
“Haha…” Wei Han laughed and twisted his body, trying to avoid Qi Zhifan. “Won’t…won’t say. I…won’t say it.”
Qi Zhifan didn’t allow him to hide and immediately pulled Wei Han into his bosom. Sucking his earlobe, he whispered, “No hurry. Anyway, I have plenty of time to make you slowly say it.”
“Odd…Odd Trouble, you calm down. Don’t disturb other people ah.”
Qi Zhifan lips hooked up into a low smile and he blew on Wei Han’s neck. “What are you nervous about? I just want to hug you, you’re thinking about…”
Wei Han heard this and his ears turned hot, hurriedly covering his mouth.
“Shh~ lower your voices a bit. Curlie’s sound asleep,” at this time, Pei Yuyang in the seat in front of them turned around and whispered, “Ah Fan, I say, take it easy a bit. You need to take care of your body.”
Looking at Pei Yuyang’s excessively indulgent face, Wei Han and Qi Zhifan couldn’t help but have a burst of speechlessness. Then, speaking in unison, “Take care of yourself first.”
