Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 237: Third World: Zhao Huangzhi's Brew From Hell

The expectant look in Qie Ranzhe's eyes soon dimmed when he saw Feng Zi ignore his message. Maybe he hadn't heard the notification tone so he sent another but like the first one it was ignored once more. The general felt a little flustered suddenly feeling like this picture was all wrong. Who exactly was pursuing whom here?

Qie Ranzhe tapped Feng Zi's foot under the table successfully grasping the man's attention. Wen Qinxi who had his foot jolted by an electrifying touch turned to look at Qie Ranzhe sensing the General's annoyance. Qie Ranzhe pointed at his phone which Wen Qinxi immediately understood.

In a few taps, he had the message displayed on screen supressing a smile. This was the reason why,

Gen.Q: Where is mine?

Gen.Q: Aren't you pursuing me?

Wen Qinxi immediately understood Qie Ranzhe's implication. He actually didn't do it on purpose. The coffee pot was empty so he turned it on intending to fetch him a cup when it was ready. He didn't expect Qie Ranzhe would be so impatient. Finding this amusing he decided to mess with the general to his heart's content.

LinLin'sDad: I don't like you?

Qie Ranzhe secretly checked his phone expecting some kind of apology but his brows furrowed together seeming worked up. He couldn't help but feel disappointed with a grey cloud hovering above his head. Well, this was a good thing. Wouldn't Feng Zi liking him complicate things? He should be the least bit affected by this but why did it hurt so much. He was about to respond when he saw the typing icon show up in front of Feng Zi's contact number.

Staring up to him, he saw Feng Zi wearing a sly smile while typing. Nervous, he bit the inner lining of his mouth feeling like a teenager having a secretive full blown affair known by only the two of them.

LinLin'sDad: I love you

Qie Ranzhe felt like thousands of butterflies were dancing in his stomach reading and re-reading the message. He didn't know what to do with such a confession which was evident on his face.

This lost expression on Qie Ranzhe's face got Wen Qinxi so excited that he wanted to do more. 'You want me to pursue you then it would be my pleasure,' thought Wen Qinxi as he secretly took off his sneaker. After making sure that Airen and Feng Xieling were still engrossed in learning, he bit his lower lip with a mischievous look about his countenance and slowly slid his leg over to Qie Ranzhe's thigh under the table.

Qie Ranzhe's serious expression turned blank staring at Feng Zi who seemed to be enjoying himself. He felt his body grow hot, nerve wrecked to the point of forgetting himself. The innocent general had never experienced such a thrilling yet terrifying situation as a blush crept up on his face. A few inches up and all hell broke loose. The provoked general abruptly stood up both embarrassed and angry but Wen Qinxi found this fit amusing.

After making something that somewhat resembled muddy hot cocoa, Zhao Huangzhi gave up and grabbed the coffee pot pouring the contents in a mug. Without thinking much of it, she walked over to Qie Ranzhe who was now sitting alone. Delighted, she placed the mug in front of Qie Ranzhe and said, "I made this for you."

Qie Ranzhe stared at her with eyes that could have predators evacuating the forest in terror. He didn't want coffee from her but from someone else but that person didn't seem to notice he was angry. At that thought, he got even angrier and said, "Don't want," in a detached tone.

"Oh," replied Zhao Huangzhi in an incredibly docile tone. She had decided to use a different approach with Qie Ranzhe which included being reasonable so she obediently walked away but sat a few feet further observing him.

Qie Ranzhe held on for as long as he could waiting for Feng Zi to make up with him but ten minutes in Feng Zi hadn't made his appearance. He could hear him talking but because he had his back towards them he didn't see what the man was doing. Just as he was about to write another message to complain, a mug suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Here," said Wen Qinxi handing the hot cup of coffee. "Don't be angry."

With these words, Qie Ranzhe's cold heart thawed forgetting why he was angry in the first place but he didn't show it on his face. Qie Ranzhe accepted the apology coffee as Feng Zi explained, "I was waiting for the coffee maker to finish brewing so that's why it seemed like l forgot you. Don't be mad anymore, okay?"

Qie Ranzhe didn't say anything taking a sip of his coffee with a satisfied look in his eyes. "Is it good?"asked Wen Qinxi looking down at this troublesome CEO who was pouting like an aggrieved wife.

"Ahem.....No, it's not," said Qie Ranzhe lying through his teeth. This was his retaliation against Feng Zi but who would have thought his retaliation would backfire.

Wen Qinxi took the coffee back and for a moment Qie Ranzhe thought he was confiscating it but to his surprise Feng Zi drank from it and leaned in while swallowing the sip of coffee. With their faces a pinky's length away from each other he said, "Tastes so sweet," while staring at Qie Ranzhe's bright moist lips from the coffee.

Qie Ranzhe felt a burning inferno spread from his face to his entire body his heart palpitating giving off the illusion that he was about to have a heart attack.

Feng Zi's expression seemed to have a rather obvious meaning that he interpreted as 'for now I will settle for an indirect kiss'.

'Shit! I was wrong,' thought Qie Ranzhe before he begun scolding himself. He regretted it now. He was wrong. Feng Zi's previous actions weren't seduction at all. This was true seduction and he had a hunch that if they were alone it would be worse.

Zhao Huangzhi witnessed this appalling scene and in her anger she stood up to expose Feng Zi but the mobile home suddenly stopped hitting the emergency breaks. It sent Zhao Huangzhi and Wen Qinxi flying as they were the only people standing. Zhao Huangzhi kissed the floor while Wen Qinxi kissed something else. Something soft and warm that belonged to someone else.

Qie Ranzhe was blinking his eyes in disbelief staring at Feng Zi who was taking advantage of him in public. No matter how pleasurable the feeling was, when it came to romance this Qie Ranzhe was incredibly thin skinned. It was his first kiss after all. Wen Qinxi was reluctant to part but given Qie Ranzhe's reaction, the general might cut him to pieces right now so he awkwardly got up.

He was just about to apologize but the sound of gun fire and Machu's panicked radio call had everyone on their toes. Even Qie Guaiwu who was yelling at the lab rats on the phone after conducting the test for the eighth time, came out of the bedroom ready for war.
