Chapter 17

"Dad, let's get everyone together. After all, President Zou is still here, if we are blamed for not giving our all… "Xiao Chengzhe looked grave. He looked around the party for a moment, and then said, "Dad, if we stay together, we can talk about it if something does happen."

Father Xiao agreed to Xiao Chengzhe's proposal after some deep thinking. Zou Chen's appearance had indeed put a lot of pressure on him.

"Second Young Master Zou may be a little unwell; I can't reach him right now, please help us find him! Please help us find him!" The microphone spread Xiao Chengzhe's voice throughout the party.

The crowd at the scene became agitated as soon as they heard this.

This was an excellent opportunity to show courtesy to Zou Chen!

Unaware of the crisis outside, the lounge is on the verge of… It's on the brink of a crisis.

Qing Yun turned his head to avoid Zou Chen's kiss, whose lips and tongue landed on the side of his ear and slid down along the base of his ear in the next second.

"You…" gritted Qing Yun, tugging at the man's tie to yank him away, he questioned under his breath, "Say, who the hell are you?"

Why is he in this world?

Feeling the heat on his thighs, Qing Yun knew what it was even with his eyes closed. The key was that as the man rutted, the scent around him grew stronger and more familiar, a thousand times more familiar than it had been when they first met.

The first time was accidental, but now?

The man gave a low chuckle, "Baby, that's a lovely reaction from you, who am I? I'm your lover if you want me to be."

Zou Chen doesn't know why the love for the youth in his heart was so deep and so much as if it has been flowing for centuries. Seeing Qing Yun's reaction, he was ecstatic; Qing Yun had feelings for him, and he didn't reject him.

Intense kisses fell again, in a way that Qing Yun was too familiar with.

"Everyone, come over here and take a look at each of the lounges one by one." Seeing that his goal was about to be achieved, Xiao Chengzhe simply couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, but when he looked back, he couldn't even see Zou Chen.

What a pity, if Zou Chen were here, it would probably be a little more exciting. He could hardly wait to see how miserable Qing Yun would be later on.

The excellent soundproofing effect cut off the noisy corridor.

Qing Yun squinted his eyes, his gaze lost. The consciousness sent the news that Xiao Chengzhe was approaching, but he had no time to care.

Every kiss that fell on his neck and every touch of the fingers in his hair easily stirred up Qing Yun. Zou Chen was simply exceptionally familiar with his body, while at the same time extremely understanding how to make him feel comfortable.

Although it was unbearable to endure, Zou Chen didn't take care of himself and instead squatted down to try to please the youth.

He gently placed his hand on the zipper of Qing Yun's suit pants.

With a "clang" sound, the door was slammed open.

A group of people roared in.

"It's you…"

"Young Master?"

Everyone's prepared speech was stuck in their throats, they looked at the Zou Family Head, who was half squatting on Qing Yun's hip, and they were as quiet as if they had been struck by lightning.

An adult knows what this posture means. No one would have thought that the moody, high-powered president of the Zou family would take such a humble stance to please others.

Xiao Chengzhe was dumbfounded.

Father Xiao looked at the disheveled Xiao Chengnuo, and then at the squatting Zou Chen, feeling deeply that he should pass out at this point.

Looking at the wave of people that suddenly appeared in the room, Zou Chen's face immediately turned dark and sullen.

"Get out!" He snapped low, angry as a lion who had found his territory invaded.

Zou Chen immediately stood up to fix Qing Yun's clothes. In the end, he simply took off his suit and put it over Qing Yun's body, a protective gesture that was beyond words.

Who would have thought that Qing Yun would not appreciate it? He bent his knee and slammed it into Zou Chen's lower abdomen.

Zou Chen was instantly bent over with a muffled grunt from the impact, but his arm was still making an effort to hold on to the jacket covering Qing Yun's body. He turned his head to look at the crowd who still looked dumbfounded and roared with unbearable anger, "Get out of here, all of you!"

The crowd woke up with a start and retreated back.

Qing Yun uncovered Zou Chen's coat that was on his face. He quickly sorted his clothes, an unprecedented shame surged in his heart. Zou Qiyao was not here, but Zou Chen came instead. Even if it was someone else, it wouldn't make any difference to Father Xiao, okay?

What was most unbearable for Qing Yun was that he was so immersed in it that he didn't even notice Xiao Chengzhe's arrival.

In other words, if Xiao Chengzhe hadn't barged in with a group of people, who knows what would have happened down there. The point is, Qing Yun and this man had only seen each other three times counting today!

"Baby, I… "Zou Chen tugged at his clothes and opened his mouth to defend himself, but he was interrupted by Qing Yun.

"Go away!" Qing Yun straightened his clothes and pushed the man in front of him out of the way to go outside.

When he opened the door, it was already empty outside. The crowd outside the door didn't dare to stay there to bear the wrath of Zou Chen and had already scattered in fright.

Zou Chen endured the pain and chased after him as he held onto the door frame and shouted at Qing Yun, "Baby, it was just an accident! I promise it won't happen again…"

Hearing his shout, Qing Yun did not turn around and left a little faster instead.

This guy… Isn't he embarrassing enough!

Seeing Qing Yun's hurriedly departing back, Zou Chen leaned against the doorframe instead and laughed lowly. Although Qing Yun's attitude didn't soften, and though today's incident was embarrassing to the extreme, Zou Chen's heart was about to fly with joy.

They had feelings for each other, so there was hope for him, wasn't there?

Qing Yun calmed down as he walked. He frowned, recalling the scent he had just noticed, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Qing Yun had lived alone for years, and with a severe cleanliness problem, he was extremely sensitive and repulsive to the scents of others.

The only one who could enter his world without causing Qing Yun to resent it was Nie Chenyuan.

But Nie Chenyuan couldn't have followed him. The souls generated in one world could only reincarnate in that world, never scurrying to other worlds.

Except for a particular situation like Qing Yun's.

The hidden joy in his heart took over Qing Yun's mind. He slowly exhaled, putting this matter aside, there was still a pile of mess to be thrown at him later.

The people who just entered the lounge with Xiao Chengzhe all felt their legs go soft. This time, they were walking around dazed and ultimately lost the energy to look for Zou Qiyao.

They were looking for Zou Qiyao to sell Zou Chen a good deal before, but now they're afraid that they've offended someone so much that they won't dare do other things. Although the guests were all in a panic, no one dared to take offense at the Xiao family's father and son.

After all…

They can see clearly that President Zou went to great lengths to protect Xiao Chengnuo, the second young master of the Xiao family.

Back in the lobby, Father Xiao and the others got the news that Zou Qiyao had diarrhea and was picked up by an ambulance.

Xiao Chengzhe cursed in his heart: I knew that bastard Zou Qiyao couldn't do it!

However, the others did not boast about the idea that the Xiao family had offended Zou Qiyao. After all, the Second Young Master was not a bit inferior to the real Zou family head.

Besides, it might be up to the Xiao family to redeem today's mistake…

Everyone's mind came alive and stood beside Father Xiao.

A CEO who had just negotiated a business deal with Zou couldn't help it; he brewed for a while and looked at Father Xiao and sighed, "Brother Xiao, you and I have become friends for more than a day or two. You can get…"

Saying that, this CEO grabbed Xiao's father's hand and was literally about to burst into tears: "You have to let this kid Chengnuo say something good for us!"

"It's just that…"

"But it all depends on Second Young Master…"

"What Second Young Master says must be useful…"

For a time, the surrounding guests followed suit, forming an encirclement to bombard Father Xiao and Xiao Chengzhe in the center.

Xiao Chengzhe almost couldn't maintain the smile on his face.

Father Xiao, on the other hand, looked at his old friend, the corners of his mouth twitching, but he didn't pull out a smile.

"Okay, okay…" Father Xiao agreed helplessly, which finally pacified the guests.

After what had happened, it was difficult for the banquet to continue, and the guests slowly left.

Zou Chen was the last to leave, and on his way out, he looked back at the Xiao father and son behind him.

Until the end, he hadn't seen Qing Yun again, which made him a little disappointed. Zou Chen looked at Father Xiao's face and sighed under his breath, saying, "Today's incident is my fault. Uncle, don't blame Chengnuo."

The words were gentle, but the superior's pressure was exerted on Father Xiao without restraint. Zou Chen called Father Xiao uncle all for the sake of Qing Yun's face, even though he was all kinds of dissatisfied with Father Xiao in his heart.

Father Xiao's mouth quivered twice, but he didn't have the guts to put on a face for Zou Chen, so he could only remain silent.

Having sent off all the guests, Father Xiao sat on the sofa with a slumped face, and his body was hunched over as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

After a long moment of silence, he suddenly stood up and swept the drinks from the table onto the floor.

The sound of shattering glass was piercing.

"Find…find me that wicked son!" Father Xiao slammed his fist on the table and roared at the surrounding waiters.

"What do you want with me?" Qing Yun came down from upstairs at the right time, his face cold. But the red mark on his neck was still there in plain sight, making Father Xiao's anger burn.

Mother Xiao, who already knew all about the situation, even ran to Qing Yun's side and made a protective gesture.

"What do I want with you?" Father Xiao glared and threw a glass towards Qing Yun.

Qing Yun dodged sideways, but Mother Xiao screamed in shock, "Ah! Xiao Yanming, what are you doing? Do you want to kill Chengnuo?"

She shielded Qing Yun behind her like a hen protecting her chick.

"I would have strangled him long ago!" Father Xiao's eyes reddened, pointing at Qing Yun, his fingers trembled, "You're gay… Even if you're gay, why are you following the trend and climbing up to the rich and famous?"

"Is the Xiao family short of anything? You're not satisfied but still want to take on the Zou family?"

"With Zou Chen backing you up, I don't need to take care of you, do I?"

Father Xiao's words were so piercing that Mother Xiao's entire body was stunned, "You, how can you say that about Chengnuo?"

Hearing Father Xiao's words, however, Xiao Chengzhe secretly quirked his lips. Today's incident was a bit unexpected, but the effect was surprisingly good.

"Is that what you're thinking?" Qing Yun quietly looked at the shocked and angry Xiao father. He suddenly pushed Mother Xiao away and pressed on the coffee table in front of Father Xiao to watch him.

Qing Yun bit the words clearly: "You always imagine me in the worst possible way!"

"Never even had the slightest good expectation of me!"

That's how Xiao Chengnuo got further and further away from the Xiao family and was eventually pushed into the abyss by Xiao Chengzhe.

Father Xiao was stunned by what Qing Yun said, and then his anger exploded at Qing Yun's attitude as he pointed at the door and yelled at him, "Get out! I don't have a son like you. You don't deserve to be a member of my Xiao family!"

Qing Yun sneered, his eyes reddening, "The same words back to you, you don't deserve to be my father either."

He straightened up and headed out the door, not holding back in the slightest.

Mother Xiao immediately caught up and looked at Qing Yun, tears slowly flowing down, "Chengnuo, don't you want your mother anymore?"

"Mom." Qing Yun leaned down and hugged Mother Xiao, "Mom, this family is just confinement for me. When I grow up, I'll have a better life outside."

"Mom, you take care of yourself. Wait for me to pick you up."

Qing Yun let go of Mother Xiao and walked out of the Xiao family door without looking back.

Seeing this, Father Xiao was furious and smashed an item towards Qing Yun's back: "Evil son! Evil son!"

Xiao Chengzhe stood with his head hung at the side, hiding the smug smile in his eyes. Today's matter was a big deal, and looking at Father Xiao, it was impossible for Xiao Chengnuo to inherit the Xiao family.

However, Zou Chen's attitude today made him suspicious.

But then he changed his mind and got over it. As the head of the Zou family, how could Zou Chen be serious about a man? Perhaps he was only a little interested now.
