BeiTang MinQian came home on time. Seeing Siva sitting on the couch, he wasn"t too surprised.
“First time seeing you in a business suit! So handsome!” Siva whistled frivolously.
“What kind of people have you"ve been managing lately?” BeiTang MinQian took off his suit jacket, pulled his tie and loosened his collar. His entire person immediately felt different.
Such is the charm of a super model. Such a beauty!
“f.u.c.k! You still have the b.a.l.l.s to ask! You have no conscience! Tossing me a way without a word. Don"t you know how miserable you made me?" Siva"s tone is full of bitterness.
BeiTang MinQian smiled, “I heard you quit?”
"Yep."
"What are your plans now?"
"Don"t know"
With only the two of them in the living room, Siva lit a cigarette and leaned back on the couch to stretch his legs. He narrowed his eyes and uttered, “Maybe I"ll just become an English teacher. My dad always wanted me to be that.”
BeiTang MinQian went into the kitchen to take out two cans of beer, handing one to him, “A teacher? You?”
Siva raked through his hair, straightened up his collar and threw out a flirtatious expression, “I can also be a decent person if I dress up."
BeiTang MinQian felt nauseated by him. He grabbed the cigarette from his hand and snubbed it on the ashtray. Then faintly uttered, “Don"t smoke in my house from now on. Be my secretary then.”
“Puff ─ ─!” Siva sprayed out the beer in his mouth. He quickly wiped his mouth and stared, “Your two phrases are far too contrary. You"re joking, right?"
“My house currently prohibits smoking.”
“I meant the last phrase!”
“Oh,” BeiTang MinQian lightly smiled. “What? You don"t want to work for me?”
Siva wrinkled his brows, "I"m used to doing things as I wish. A 9-5 job doesn"t suit me.”
“Think about it. I really hope that you could come help me.”
This is the truth. They"ve collaborated for five to six years. BeiTang MinQian understands very well of Siva"s competencies. This guy knows six languages, has great abilities, is smart, knows how to read people, and has means of doing things. Even though he (BeiTang MinQian) has returned to take over the affairs of the BeiTang family, but because he hasn"t been involved for a few years, the company is in chaos. There are trusted aides, but after all, the root is too deep. He needed a new person that he could trust by his side.
Siva agreed to carefully consider it. They continued to chat about their good old days.
After eating dinner, Siva laughingly patted Qin Su"s head before he left, praising him, “Youngster, your cooking is pretty good."
Qin Su glared at him indifferently, “Elder, you sure have a good appet.i.te.”
Siva gasped and smiled, glancing at him and grinned as he walked away.
Qin Su was in the daze for the longest time from his piercing eyes.
Closing their bedroom door at night, the two husbands have a nightly chat.
“You want Siva to help you in the company?”
“Uh-huh,” BeiTang MinQian leaned on the headboard, reading a report.
Su YuanHeng had just come out from the bathroom, wearing his pajamas, looking very bloated. His belly is more than eight months along so it"s huge. Because of that, he"s very uncomfortable in his current state. At times, he even thought of himself as a monster.
Although the MoYe"s male physical biology is capable of childbirth, but for a man to love another man and willingly bear his child is extremely rare.
Su YuanHeng had been trying hard to not dislike himself. Whispering, “Siva said that I got fat and was staring at my belly today.”
BeiTang MinQian smiled, “You can blame it on the silly boy, Qin Su (for making you good meals)."
“What should we do if……he knows?"
BeiTang MinQian suddenly sigh. He put down the report, turned around and stared at Su YuanHeng; then very seriously said, “You can"t hide it from everyone. This is your child and also my child. Sooner or later, we have to let the people that should know, know about it."
Su YuanHeng creased his brows, “What do you mean?”
“Nothing, I just hope that you could relax and not be too burdened. It"s not something shameful. Adding on, Siva is not that kind of person."
"I know."
Su YuanHeng lay down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. He felt the child in his belly moved. Putting his hand on his belly, he finally decided to have a chat with BeiTang MinQian.
“You"re returning to America soon, right?”
Seeing today that he (BeiTang MinQian) wanted Siva to work for him, he knew that he (BeiTang MinQian) planned to return.
“Yeah. Do you want to go with me? The conditions in America are better.”
“How could I go? I"m already more than eight months along; the flight is not good for the child,” Su YuanHeng faintly responded.
“That"s not the problem. Why are you this hesitant? Can"t you tell me?” BeiTang MinQian furrowed his brows, somewhat unhappy.
This guy is always like this, always bottling everything inside his heart and not telling him. It"s not like he"s a worm in his stomach, how can he guess what he"s thinking?
“MinQian …… that Lin Corp …… your fiancée……” Su YuanHeng said hesitantly.
“Fiancée? Oh.. you mean LinZiYan?” BeiTang MinQian slightly smiled and casually added, “Did you read the gossip stories from America? It"s not true; just the media"s groundless reporting. If I really did have an engagement, why would I be doing nothing?”
Su YuanHeng actually pondered over this. After all, apart from the media reports a few months ago, there were no official announcements. If the heir to the BeiTang Corp is really engaged, it will be a spectacular affair and not just some gossip mentioned in the entertainment section.
But the scene he saw with his own eyes in Long Island was not something he could forget. The image of a young couple wearing matching lover"s clothing happily laughing was deeply ingrained in his heart. However, his pride and fearfulness made it impossible for him to bluntly ask about it.
"Then you toward her……What do you think about her?”
"What do I think?" BeiTang MinQian didn"t quite understand.
"Do you like her?"
BeiTang MinQian smiled, “In fact, she is still my cousin in terms of relatives. I don"t hate her. She"s an adorable girl.”
“Oh,” Su YuanHeng"s heart stopped for a bit. Then he turned his head away.
BeiTang MinQian lightly smiled and leaned onto him, breathing in his ear and gently exhaled with his warm breadth, “But she"s not the same as you ah. She"s my cousin and you are my soul mate."
Soul Mate?
Su YuanHeng"s entire body trembled as he stared at him incredulously.
BeiTang MinQian responded, “Why are you looking at me like that? Is it not?”
“No……I……” Su YuanHeng somewhat stumbled with his words. He had thought that their relationship amounted to merely sweethearts or just lovers. The word "soul mate"…it"s meaning is too significant…
“We"ve already been together for six to seven years now. It"s so fast. Now we"re even going to be parents.” BeiTang MinQian chuckled. He reached his hand under the blanket to touch his belly and very naturally said, “Maybe it"s time we get married huh?"
"What?"
This time Su YuanHeng was so shocked that he almost jumped from the bed.
"You said to get married?"
“Of course! Did you want our child to be illegitimate?” BeiTang MinQian expectantly responded while looking at him strangely.
“But, but……” Su YuanHeng stuttered, “Didn"t you like Lin ZiYan? You even said that you"ll support her for life……"
“Huh?” BeiTang MinQian frowned, “When did I say that? Where did you hear that from?”
Su YuanHeng hesitated for a moment. Then finally told him how he had secretly gone to look for him.
After BeiTang MinQian heard it, he angrily uttered, “You came all the way but didn"t come see me? What are you hiding behind a tree for?" He glared at Su YuanHeng holding his pillow.
Su YuanHeng inexplicably felt a little guilty but didn"t say anything.
BeiTang MinQian stared for a while and decided to be big-hearted and not argue with the pregnant man, “Forget it, I am an adult who is generously forgiving so I won"t argue with you." After saying that, he didn"t know what to think. Instead, he suddenly laughed.
This made Su YuanHeng unhappy as he lowly muttered, “I"m asking you about Lin ZiYan. If you don"t want to say it, then forget it. What"s so funny?”
The more BeiTang MinQian thought about it, the funnier it is to him. "Are you jealous? Did you think that woman is Lin ZiYan?”
Su YuanHeng grabbed the pillow from his hand and fiercely smacked him in the face as he angrily responded, “Are you going say it or not?”
“Ha ha ha……” BeiTang MinQian didn"t care as he bent over and suddenly kissed him hard on his face. "Stupid! How is she Lin ZiYan? You can"t even recognize your own patient?”
Su YuanHeng froze for moment and lost his voice, “You"re saying that she"s HuiZhi?"
"If not her, who else could it be?"
“But, she looks different……” Su YuanHeng could not believe it. A few years ago when he was caring for BeiTang HuiZhi as a patient, they would occasionally communicate through video online. That face is a female version of BeiTang MinQian but gentler and more cheerful than him.
