After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration] - Chap 93
“I’m here.”
Bo Yueming lowered his head and kissed Pei Yi’s hair, trying hard to suppress the heartache in the air.
He gently rubbed the back of his lover’s neck and didn’t push him away, but said, “Come on, let me carry you.”
Pei Yi buried his head in Bo Yueming’s arms and hugged him tightly, crossing his legs behind him in a clever move. “Er-ge.”
“En, I’m here.”
Bo Yueming did not neglect to respond, and walked into the room with his koala-like lover in his arms. He held Pei Yi and easily sat down on the sofa. “Have you been tired these days? Let me hug you.”
Pei Yi took a small breath, still leaning into his arms in order to draw strength. The faint scent of ebony lingered around him, draining away his fatigue from the past few days.
The grievance, unwillingness, and even the sadness of having to hold on from the first day the game script leaked reached its peak at this moment.
Pei Yi never liked to show weakness, but now he couldn’t hold on any longer. “Er-ge, I’m exhausted.”
Bo Yueming felt a cool wetness on his shoulder and hugged him tighter in response. “I know. Rest if you’re tired, I’ll stay with you.”
Pei Yi paused, then tried to resolve his emotions using childishness. “…..How about you make money to support me.”
Bo Yueming softly pinched the soft flesh on the back of his neck and coaxed, “If you really don’t want to do more, then rest.”
Not to mention the Bo family’s huge company, even if Bo Yueming relied on himself, he could still make enough money for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
Pei Yi nuzzled Bo Yueming’s shoulder again. When he raised his head, his eyes were still a little red, and he looked cute and pitiful. “Why are you here?”
Bo Yueming held his face and said both jokingly and dotingly, “If I didn’t come, my baby would be wronged to death.”
The two had been together for so long, but this was the first time Pei Yi had heard the name ‘baby.’ Warmth suddenly appeared on his cheeks.
His eyes flickered shyly, and he deliberately changed the subject. “Did Qiao Dong tell you? I told him long ago to keep it a secret, but this guy still couldn’t hide it.”
Bo Yueming heard his complaint and said helplessly, “Even if Qiao Dong didn’t tell me about this, did you think you could hide it from me?”
The first two or three days were normal, but in the following days of video calls, Pei Yi’s condition visibly declined and he would find various reasons and excuses to end the video calls.
How could Bo Yueming, his lover, not notice because of the distance between them?
Bo Yueming said honestly, “I initially wanted to come as soon as possible, but after some thought, I held back.”
Not to mention that Bo Group had a major project to push forward, which was truly inseparable from him as the chairman at the helm, Pei Yi would definitely not agree with him leaving Bo Group to accompany him.
Pei Yi murmured, “Thank you for hiding it and holding back from coming. Otherwise, I would have felt guilty and uncomfortable.”
Bo Yueming asked knowingly, “Why would you feel uncomfortable?”
“We both work and have responsibilities. Neither is more important than the other.”
Adults were allowed to be carried away by love, but they must learn restraint and responsibility.
“If you had come a few days earlier, I would have been busy with work and probably wouldn’t have had time to talk with you.”
Pei Yi thought carefully and spoke very softly.
“In that case, not only would your work be delayed, but I would be distracted. I don’t want that.”
A relationship must not be based on one-sided giving or one-sided companionship.
Bo Yueming knew that Pei Yi would have such thoughts, and asked, “Then it’s okay that I came now?”
“I just finished work and need to recharge my batteries.”
Pei Yi found an excuse for himself and then asked in concern, “What about you? Coming to Haishi temporarily really won’t delay the progress of the work at hand?”
Bo Yueming shook his head. “No, the most important signing period of the international project has been completed, so I can spare some time.”
Pei Yi’s eyes lit up. “Then how many days will you stay here? Even if the script is approved for a re-shoot, I might still have to stay in Haishi for one and a half to two months.”
Bo Yueming heard the dependence hidden in his lover’s words and teased, “I’m not staying long, I’ll leave tomorrow afternoon.”
“…….”
The curve of Pei Yi’s mouth froze, and he couldn’t help but lament, “Ah?”
Bo Yueming laughed and said, “Didn’t we just vow to take care of our responsibilities at work? You don’t want to affect my work, do you?”
Pei Yi felt that he had been slapped in the face, and muttered in a low voice, “That’s what my reasoning thinks, but it doesn’t matter to my selfishness.”
Pei Yi was not used to and didn’t like to rely on anyone in the past, but since falling in love with Bo Yueming—
He felt that his clinginess had begun to rise without him knowing, and he couldn’t hide it even if he wanted to.
Bo Yueming saw the depression of the person in his arms, and was honest, “I estimate conservatively that I can stay for four or five days. If there is nothing important at the company, I can stay longer.”
In any case, the most important work had been completed, so he took time off to come to Haishi for a few days and left the rest of the work to Bo Jiao and others to handle.
Pei Yi immediately smiled again. “En.”
Bo Yueming asked him, “Are you hungry? It’s already lunchtime.”
“En, I’m hungry.”
Pei Yi glanced toward the door. “Qiao Dong said that he booked the hotel’s delivery service before going out. Why hasn’t it come yet?”
“I’ll call guest services and ask.”
Bo Yueming stared at the dark circles around Pei Yi’s eyes and relaxed his embrace. “After eating, shall I sleep with you for a while? Your job is done, so catch up on sleep and I’ll celebrate your birthday with you tomorrow.”
Pei Yi was confused. “B-Birthday?”
Bo Yueming reminded him, “June 16th.”
Pei Yi came to a sudden realization. “Right, I’ve been so busy lately that I almost forgot about it.”
Pei Yi had been abandoned as a baby and never knew his actual date of birth.
When he was a child, he stayed at the orphanage, and when he was adopted later and applied for an ID card, he simply regarded the day of his adoption as his birthday.
Later on, his birthday became a regret that he deliberately ignored.
Bo Yueming noticed his lover’s absent-mindedness. “What is it?”
“It’s nothing.” Pei Yi shook his head, still smiling happily. “Er-ge, thank you for coming all the way to celebrate my birthday.”
June 16th was the birthday of the original owner.
But for Pei Yi, his actual date of birth was not the most important thing. What mattered most was that Bo Yueming cared about him.
Bo Yueming heard this sudden thank you and solemnly explained, “Pei Yi, we don’t say thank you to each other.”
“Okay, I get it.”
Pei Yi went to kiss him, but immediately held back and stood up numbly. “I’m going to wash up first!”
Bo Yueming’s eyes were gentle as he agreed. “En.”
. . . . . . .
The two had a brief lunch before holding hands and returning to the master bedroom.
Bo Yueming saw the coat on the bed at a glance, and there was a smile in his eyes. “Little Sir, does the coat or the person work better?”
Pei Yi pretended not to understand. “I’ll rinse my mouth before sleeping.”
Although this was not the first time he had brought a coat with him on a business trip, he was a little shy when asked about it on the spot.
Bo Yueming hurriedly followed.
The two tidied up simply, then closed the curtains and lay down in bed.
Pei Yi still felt a stiffness on the left side of his neck and shoulder, so he leaned forward and asked, “Er-ge, please massage me.”
Bo Yueming doted on him, following his instructions step by step. “Is there any problem with the second revision of the script?”
Pei Yi gave a heavy sigh. When facing his lover, he was used to letting go of all pressure and defenses.
“There are basically no problems. We’ll discuss the details of the revision at the meeting today, and then start it on the 17th.”
Bo Yueming clearly understood Pei Yi’s outstanding abilities, but still affirmed, “My family’s Little Sir is really amazing.”
Pei Yi smiled and leaned more comfortably into Bo Yueming’s arms, telling him about the twists and turns of the previous days.
He added a question at the end, “Er-ge, I think that what happened this time is very strange. What do you think?”
He had previously been busy with the script rewrite, and really had no time to find the person behind the scenes.
Now that he was free, he must make up for the losses he had suffered!
Bo Yueming gave his analysis, “If you hadn’t forced yourself to change the script in front of Weiyi’s senior management, the biggest beneficiaries would be Gao Pingfeng and Weiyi headquarters itself.”
The former for fame, and the latter for profit.
Pei Yi had thought this at first, but felt a little strange. “But Gao Pingfeng has been with Weiyi for fifteen years and finally reached the position of chief planner. If he leaked the script and stabbed the company in the back—”
“Once this comes to light, won’t his career in the industry be over?”
Bo Yueming gave him a new perspective. “What if he had the tacit approval of the top management?”
Pei Yi responded, “Tacit approval? Er-ge, do you mean that Weiyi’s senior management secretly instructed him to do this?”
Bo Yueming said, “It’s not impossible.”
In this matter, it was not Gao Pingfeng who backstabbed his own employer, but Weiyi’s senior management who backstabbed Pei Yi and YWY Studios as a partner.
From a 40-60 split to 20-80, this exchange of interests had obviously been prepared in advance.
Pei Yi felt that his long-lost headache was coming back. “I don’t have much contact with Weiyi’s senior management, but Gu Jianshen in the copyright department is not that kind of person.”
“Ning Jing has more power than Gu Jianshen. The profit sharing came from her mouth, but I’ve always felt that she is looking forward to long-term cooperation with me.”
Otherwise, Ning Jing would have tried every means to make things difficult for his script the past two weeks and delay him as much as possible, instead of giving him the green light and accepting all his script proposals.
Bo Yueming kept moving up. “Then it was the top level above Ning Jing.”
No matter how large a group or company was, there would still be short-sighted shareholders and executors. These people only pursued short-term interests, regardless of the long-term benefits of cooperation.
Bo Group couldn’t avoid this, and it was likely that major game companies such as Weiyi could not avoid it either.
“Did Weiyi give you an explanation for the script leak these days?”
“No.”
Pei Yi shook his head, and couldn’t help but yawn a little.
He didn’t know what was going on, but he was sleepy again even though he had only just woken up.
Bo Yueming could see his fatigue. “You’re still tired?”
“I guess it’s because I didn’t get enough sleep during this period, and my nerves can’t hold on now that I’m relaxed.” As Pei Yi spoke, he raised his head and kissed the corner of Bo Yueming’s mouth.
Bo Yueming kissed him back, sucking lightly at his thin lips and then easily prying open his teeth. He heard a pleasant muffled sound, carrying the tenderness of a reunion after a long separation.
Concerned about his lover’s body, Bo Yueming stopped after a brief taste. “Be good, will you sleep for a while?”
Pei Yi thought of that kiss that was long overdue, and said with some satisfaction in his eyes, “Er-ge, please help massage my shoulder and neck for a while, they’re still sore.”
“Okay, go to sleep.”
“En.”
Pei Yi closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Bo Yueming heard his long, slow breathing, and his heart settled down again. He lowered his eyes to look at the sleeping face of the person in his arms who couldn’t be more obedient, and the accumulated heartache surged again—
Not to mention the dark circles under his eyes, he had even lost some weight in his cheeks. When he held him in his arms and walked, he felt a lot lighter. It had taken him nearly a year to regain weight, but he had lost most of it in just half a month!
Bo Yueming thought of the deliberate treatment his lover had received in Haishi, and a frightening dark light flashed through his eyes.
He stopped his massage and carefully picked up the cell phone placed beside the bed, calling his assistant Lin Zhong.
Lin Zhong had followed him to Haishi and was staying downstairs at the moment.
It connected within three seconds.
“Hello, Mr. Bo.”
“Investigate the situation of Weiyi’s current high-level shareholders. Also pay attention to Xunya Technology and Gao Pingfeng. Find out who he is close to.”
Bo Yueming knew that Pei Yi had the ability to fight back on his own, but as his lover, he really couldn’t remain indifferent.
Lin Zhong had also roughly learned about Pei Yi’s recent experiences from Qiao Dong’s mouth, and responded firmly, “Okay, Mr. Bo. I will find out as soon as possible.”
Bo Yueming hung up the phone simply and neatly, and tightened his grip on his lover again. He had purposely caught an early flight, and was a little tired now.
Being in the arms of his lover was the greatest stability.
. . . . . . .
Pei Yi had a particularly comfortable sleep this time, and when he woke up, he felt that all the bones in his body were numb. He looked at the dim light filtering in through the gaps in the window, and his mind slowly recovered.
“…….”
Er-ge seemed to have come to Haishi?
Pei Yi suddenly recalled this important matter and looked around at once. He saw the empty bed—
It seemed that Bo Yueming’s sudden appearance was a dream.
Pei Yi’s heart tightened and he quickly got out of bed, calling outside the room, “Er-ge!”
The sound of slippered footsteps on the floor echoed.
Within three seconds, Bo Yueming opened the door and walked in. “You’re awake?”
Pei Yi stopped and breathed a sigh of relief. “Where have you been?”
Bo Yueming noticed his flash of panic and drew closer to comfort him and explain, “I didn’t go anywhere. I was afraid of waking you up when I got a call, so I stayed outside in the living room.”
Pei Yi accepted the explanation. “En.”
Bo Yueming pulled his lover into his arms and asked, “Did you get enough sleep? I have something to ask you.”
As he spoke, he pulled the other person to the computer desk, opened the drawer, and took out the cigarettes and lighter.
“Explain, when did you smoke? It was packed with twenty cigarettes, and there is only one left.”
“…….”
Like a guilty kitten who had been caught, Pei Yi bravely changed the subject. “Why were you rummaging through my drawers?”
“Okay, I’ll apologize first.” Bo Yueming blocked him between himself and the edge of the table. “It’s my fault for going through your drawers without permission, but I only wanted to find a pen and write something down.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the drawer, he received an extra “surprise.”
Pei Yi had no real intention to blame Bo Yueming, and as soon as he heard this apology, he felt even more guilty. “I don’t blame you. I…..I also didn’t smoke.”
When Bo Yueming heard Pei Yi stutter, his hand fell down from his waist and hit him on the butt with a pa.
The force was a bit heavy, but not painful.
“W-Why did you spank me again!”
Pei Yi’s eyes immediately widened. He blushed and tried to escape, but his back was pressed against the desk and he couldn’t go anywhere.
Bo Yueming blocked him further. “Be honest, when did you start smoking? How many cigarettes did you smoke?”
Pei Yi was reluctant to admit his mistake. “I took it from Li Yuan some time ago just to show off. When he gave it to me, there was only one left.”
Bo Yueming was so angry that his teeth itched. “Why don’t you tell the truth?”
Another pa!
“…….”
Pei Yi took a deep breath and said, “Just one pack! I’ve been under a lot of pressure at work lately, and sometimes I’m very tired after working late at night!”
“It’s not like you don’t know that I get drunk whenever I drink. I wouldn’t be able to continue working, so I smoked a few to relax!”
After this explanation, he avoided Bo Yueming’s eyes and complained, unresigned, “You promised not to spank me, so why didn’t you keep your word?”
How could Bo Yueming not know that Pei Yi had been wronged at work during this period? He gently lifted his lover onto the table, his temper abating.
“Does it hurt?”
“…….”
Was this a question of pain or lack thereof?
He was spanked twice this time! Did he want to make him lose face?!
Holding a grudge, Pei Yi ignored him and didn’t say anything.
“Okay, I was wrong.”
Bo Yueming simply admitted his mistake and advised, “Smoking is bad for your health. Let’s try our best not to smoke, all right?”
Pei Yi continued to pretend to be mute.
Bo Yueming could do nothing about him, and softened his attitude further. “Little Sir, please pay attention to me?”
“……”
“Kitten?”
“……”
“Baby?”
Each name that was never spoken to others was more lethal than the last.
Pei Yi tried hard to be strong for half a minute. Then his cheeks turned red and he surrendered, admitting his mistake.
“I know I was wrong. I won’t smoke next time.”
