My Perfect Enemy is Finally Broke Novel - Chap 54

Advertisements

Ji Ran always felt that he was a very stable person.

He remembered how, whenever he appeared at night clubs, men and women alike would brush up against him to talk while exposing parts of themselves. No matter how revealing the clothes they wore, he would always tell them to scram far from him.

Yet now, Qin Man only opened a box of condoms and spoke in a deep voice.

The blood in his body began to surge, and he was wide-awake. His entire being was hot and flustered, and his body was especially honest… as if giving a reaction in response.

That night, torrential rain poured down and the air-conditioning unit only made the room chillier. Ji Ran laid among the sheets as the two bodies overlapped with a duvet over them. After the first round ended in ecstasy, his back was covered in beads of sweat.

Once the lingering pleasure subsided, Ji Ran lit up a cigarette and sat up, only to find a firm and muscular hand wrap around his collar and drag him back.

After a few times, Ji Ran’s expression no longer carried any trace of friendliness.

Though it felt good, the after-effects weren’t great. His waist was sore and the marks on his neck were particularly eye-catching.

“Hey.” He stared at the mirror in the bathroom for a long time before erupting. “Aren’t you too fucking unrestrained? Aren’t you afraid of kidney-deficiency?”

Qin Man leaned against the bathroom’s door frame while fastening his tie. “My kidney is great.”

“You’ll die from exhaustion sooner or later.” Ji Ran gritted his teeth and cursed.

“Don’t worry. It’s fine even if you want to squeeze me dry.”

A tube of toothpaste flew out and discourteously hit his suit, leaving an inconspicuous water mark.

Ji Ran took a nap on the way but was even more tired once he reached the office. From the car park to the elevators, he had already yawned five times.

Since Ji Ran got up late, their breakfast was bought along the way from a shop outside their district, but they hadn’t had time to eat. Qin Man carried two soy milk and dough fritters to press the elevator button.

A minute later, the elevator doors opened.

“Ah, it’s all because I have to suddenly catch a plane, causing you to have to come so early to the company to sign a contract with me. You’ve worked hard, child.”

“What are you saying? As long as I can sign a contract with you, it doesn’t matter even if I have to come over in the middle of the night.” Ji Wei’s voice was polite and respectful.

There were four men standing in the elevator. Two of them were assistants. Next to Ji Wei was an elderly uncle whose hair was beginning to turn white but still looked full of vitality.

The gazes of the people in the lift met those outside and they froze.

Ji Wei immediately saw the red marks on Ji Ran’s neck. It wasn’t strange since Ji Ran’s skin was extremely fair and he wore a dark suit today. Even a blind man would be able to see it.

He actually didn’t bother to hide it and directly came to work! Shouldn’t he at least put on some make up?!

Ji Ran’s stomach was empty, he just wanted to go upstairs to have breakfast. But just as he planned to get on the elevator, he saw the person next to him stop.

“Xiao Man? Why are you here?” The Old Uncle in the elevator was filled with surprise and the admiration in his eyes could not be concealed. “I haven’t seen you for so long, how have you been? Speaking of which, I recently saw your dad in America and he told me to look out for you. He said you were planning to…”

“Uncle. I’m working here for the time being.” Qin Man interrupted him with a smile.

The man froze, thinking he had heard wrongly. “What?”

The junior he had always admired was actually working for others?

The elevator, whose doors hadn’t closed for a while, began to emit a warning beep.

Qin Man replied, “That’s how it is. My dad knows about it, he probably hasn’t had the time to tell you yet. How have you been recently?”

“… Pretty good. What’s your position here? General manager or deputy general manager? Why didn’t you come look for me? I’ve already been meaning for you to intern at my company after your graduation but you refused.”

Ji Ran could tell this person was intending to poach his person and immediately grew annoyed. “He’s my assistant.”

The uncle: “…”

“Uncle, are you guys getting off the lift?” Ji Ran asked, “We’re in a rush for work. Late employees won’t be able to receive the full attendance bonus, are you intending to compensate us?”

Ji Wei shouted, “Ji Ran! Don’t speak to President Yun like that!”

The middle-aged man looked at Qin Man and received a hint from his expression. He felt that things were rather interesting.

He nodded and laughed helplessly. “This uncle will be getting off now. Xiao Wei, if these two are late, please don’t deduct their full attendance bonus on my account.”

Ji Wei gave a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “No problem.”

After they left, only Ji Ran and Qin Man were left in the elevator. Ji Ran finally asked, “Who was that?”

“An old friend of my dad,” Qin Man said.

“What was up with his expression? Is it bad to be my assistant?” Ji Ran crossed his arms.

“That’s not what he was thinking.” Qin Man paused for a moment, “It’s just…”

“Just what?”

Qin Man told him, “In the past, I told him I wanted to start a company when I was older. He must certainly be surprised to see me working at a nine-to-five job now.”

“…Start a company?”

“Yeah.” Seeing Ji Ran frown but not knowing what he was thinking, Qin Man smiled. “But I no longer think that way.”

Ji Ran was quiet and unfathomable. After a long while, he let out a dull ‘oh’.

A few days later, Yue Wen Wen sent over news about the hotel.

The hotel was a four-hour drive away. Only Yue Wen Wen would be willing to travel so far simply for a natural hot spring.

But since they had all agreed, Ji Ran couldn’t go back on his words. After finishing a project, he got off work early on Friday and swiftly packed their luggage.

Cheng Peng drove an RV and when the door opened, Ji Ran saw a rare trace of shock and doubt in Qin Man’s eyes.

He saw Yue Wen Wen slowly walk out with a head full of long, black hair. He had on exquisite makeup and wore a white dress with lace sleeves, looking extremely graceful.

Yue Wen Wen’s figure was originally much smaller than ordinary men. He had a slender figure without much muscle or fat on his body, and it was difficult to find any flaws at a glance. Even his makeup was perfect; As long as he did not speak, it was difficult to ascertain his gender.

Qin Man originally thought it was his fault for not paying attention that night and not recognising Yue Wen Wen. But now, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him. Yue Wen Wen’s cross-dressing skills were simply too exceptional.

“Ran Ran!” Yue Wen Wen rushed up and hugged Ji Ran. Even his voice had deliberately softened a lot, “I missed you to death~”

Ji Ran was long accustomed to it. Yue Wen Wen liked to drag him into his act when he was in women’s clothing. Even he didn’t know when Yue Wen Wen had learnt such a bad habit.

Before Yue Wen Wen could say anything else, the arm on Ji Ran’s shoulder was lifted away.

Qin Man took his hand aside with a smile, “It’s been awhile.”

Yue Wen Wen understood and immediately controlled himself. “It’s been awhile. You guys can put your luggage in the back and we can move off. There’s still some time.”

After Ji Ran got on, he saw Chen An sitting quietly in the passenger seat, touching his chin and looking deep in thought.

Hearing the sound of movement, he turned around. “Ji, Ji, Ji…”

“Who are you cursing?!” Yue Wen Wen roared.

“…Ji Ran.” Chen An finished speaking and flailed in realisation. “No, no, no, I- I wasn’t cur-cursing him.”

As someone with no patience, Ji Ran felt that talking to Chen An would simply take two years off of his life. He gave up on communicating and gave a simple greeting before going to the furthest seat.

Qin Man followed along and sat beside him.

It wasn’t until Cheng Peng sat in the driver’s seat did Ji Ran ask, “Why didn’t you hire a driver? Can you drive after working all day?”

“I’m not that weak.” Cheng Peng said, “It’s only a few hours, we’ll be there soon.”

Yue Wen Wen sat alone in the middle, holding a mirror up to check if his makeup had been smudged.

“I’m such a sorry man, caught between two couples…”

“No, not a couple.”

A rustle came from the front.

It was Chen An.

The car was quiet for a few seconds as Cheng Peng drove without saying a word. The air pressure around him continued to plummet

Ji Ran glanced at Yue Wen Wen suspiciously and saw the latter shake his head, indicating that he did not understand the situation either.

This was Cheng Peng’s private matter, so Ji Ran didn’t plan to interfere. He crossed his legs, put his mobile phone in his lap, and opened a game’s live broadcast.

Just as he was immersed in the program, he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his left ear.

Qin Man had taken off his earphone and put it on himself.

In a few seconds, his expression turned strange. “A female anchor?”

Ji Ran didn’t look up. “Yeah.”

Qin Man heard the voice of the female anchor in the earphones sound especially cutesy. “Daddy Ji hasn’t come for a long time, did I become a noob? Or am I not attractive enough?”

Although these words were quite provocative, the other side’s tone was too casual. They were obviously just teasing him.

Qin Man glanced at the screen. Ji Ran’s ID was “Daddy Ji” and the manager of this room. No wonder the female anchor would greet him.

Qin Man raised an eyebrow in displeasure.

Ji Ran continued to watch without any intentions of responding to the female anchor.

He was an old client of this live broadcast room. Why he chose this anchor had nothing to do with the other person’s gender or appearance. It was just because she had better skills and techniques than many male anchors. He felt good watching it, so he continued to follow her.

If he was happy, he would not be stingy.

Because he was too immersed in watching the broadcast, he didn’t notice the expressions of those around him.

After more than three hours, they finally arrived at the hotel.

The moment Ji Ran took the room key and entered, he caught sight of the bathroom and was stupefied.

The room was very large. There was a swimming pool and a small hot spring outside, and next to the hot spring was the bathroom.

The bathroom was no different from any other hotels, the problem was… this bathroom had no curtains or partitions.

The glass of the bathroom was made of a special material. Its intention was to slightly blur the view inside, but such an effect only made it more ambiguous.

“Did you fucking book a love hotel?!” Ji Ran immediately called Yue Wen Wen.

“How can there be such an expensive love hotel?” Yue Wen Wen smiled happily, “Are you ready? Let’s go for a swim and soak in a hot spring. There are dozens of hot springs here. People say that they all have different effects.”

There was nothing that they hadn’t seen about each other, but the bathroom situation still made Ji Ran feel awkward.

He cursed softly before saying: “…Got it, I’ll come over after changing.”

Ji Ran put on his swimming trunks. When he saw the marks on his body, he was so angry that he wanted to throw the man, who was talking on the phone outside, into the trash can.

The numerous red marks left over from the day before had yet to fade.

Ji Ran wrapped himself tightly in the hotel’s bathrobe. Seeing Qin Man hang up and come back in, he wasn’t polite. “Hurry up and get changed. We’re going to the public pool.”

The pool in the room was too small, simply not fit for swimming.

Qin Man reminded him, “It’s 32 degrees celsius outside, are you sure you want to walk over like this?”

Ji Ran was enraged. “You still dare to bring it up? My body is full of those things you made… are you a dog?!”

These words made Qin Man’s thoughts turn crooked.

He obediently swallowed his refute and changed into his swimming trunks before throwing on a short-sleeved jacket. Just like this, they left for the public pool.

Yue Wen Wen had long been waiting for them. He still wore a long skirt as he laid on the beach chair and acted coquettishly. A pair of fair and slender legs managed to grab much attention.

“Ran Ran, you’re here… why are you dressed so warmly?”

“I’m cold.” Ji Ran tightened the bathrobe and laid on the chair.

Qin Man asked him, “Aren’t you going to swim?”

“… Swim on your own. Don’t bother me.”

With Yue Wen Wen’s mouth, he would definitely not be able to live it down if he saw those marks on Ji Ran’s body.

It was better to wait till the sky darkened before soaking in the hotspring. That way, it wouldn’t be as visible.

Qin Man nodded, then took off his jacket.

The man’s firm and sturdy back was revealed.

It was full of countless lines and scratches. Anyone could tell how they came about at a glance.

Yue Wen Wen said, “Ran Ran, you should cut your nails.”

Ji Ran: “…”

“So what if you have long arms, you’re almost cutting into the other’s shoulders.”
