Tit For Tat (Beloved Enemy) - Chap 14
Gu Qing Pei was sleeping next to him, just like a ticking bomb that might go off at any time. He was something which you absolutely can’t touch because once you do….it was over.
It evoked such uncomfortable feelings in his body.
After a while, Yuan Yang calmed his heart and heard a steady and even breathing sound from Gu Qing Pei.
“This fucker is actually really asleep? Maybe I can also fall asleep?”
Yuan Yang looked at Gu Qing Pei’s peaceful face relaxed in sleep and in his heart a fire crackled.
“This kid (Gu Qing Pei) isn’t a homosexual, then how can he sleep in a bed with a male with little to no reaction at all. Instead he (Yuan Yang) was awkwardly sleepless and too damn angry.
Yuan Yang closed his eyes and forced himself to rest for a while.
Because it was a temporary resting area built in the office, there were no windows inside the room and it was very quiet.
Only a dimly lit desk lamp at the bedside provided some light, but the drowsy light only made people sleep more.
In fact, this was a good sleeping environment, but lying beside a life and death situation was bad. He should not lie in bed with him, even for sleeping it really made him uneasy.
Yuan Yang thought “I can’t sleep because the light is on, I should turn it off.”
He sat up, stretched out his arms and reached across Gu Qing Pei’s body towards the lamp, trying to turn it off.
What he didn’t expect was for Gu Qing Pei to move. Gu Qing Pei suddenly opened his eyes, surprised to look at him leaning over him.
Yuan Yang was also shocked by him suddenly waking up, and his hand even though was stretched out to reach the lamp, did not stretch enough and he failed to reach the lamp. The other hand on which he was supporting his body, slipped and instead of rolling back to his side, he slipped, and the result was, he ended up falling over Gu Qing Pei.
Gu Qing Pei gave a stuffy shout and then reached out to push him off him.
Yuan Yang was being pushed on his stomach, and when he didn’t move at all, Gu was surprised because the force needed to move the man was off him was not enough and he wasn’t prepared for it. So, he went with beating Yuan Yang on his stomach to get him off.
Suddenly, Yuan Yang was on fire. His angry face was stuck on Gu Qing Pei’s neck, and he spoke slowly through his gritted teeth, “Are you looking for death?”
Gu Qing Pei’s eyes turned towards Yuan Yang frowning “What are you doing?” His sounded breathless and his words were garbled.
Yuan Yang replied, “I’m trying to turn off the lights, and you fucking hit me.”
Gu Qing Pei breathed out again, Yuan Yang’s body pushed into him roughly and that sexy, muscled body was very heavy. Even separated by two layers of clothes, he could clearly feel all of Yuan Yang’s manly heat…..????
Those bulging pectoral muscle moved against his chest with every breath Yuan Yang took. When the sensations hit him hard, it was not a small stimulus for him, instead it turned him on immediately. His face went cold and he bit off each word, “Can you get off me? ????”
Yuan Yang looked down and saw that almost all his upper body was exerting pressure on Gu Qing Pei’s body.
This position was too wrong *too right*. He quickly lifted himself off Gu’s body, his face flushing with a hint of embarrassment.
Gu Qing Pei exhaled and subconsciously curled up his body and reached out to turn the light off.
Yuan Yang laid back in his previous position and his heart had calmed up a bit but there was a fire still burning inside him.
Now after a little calming down he could not help but think back to the strange feeling he had when he had touched Gu Qing Pei’s skin. It was hot to touch.
Suddenly, Gu felt the bed shifting and a shadow passed over his body making it turn cold.
“Your body fucking got hard.” Just the pressure from Gu Qing Pei’s body gave Yuan Yang a strange feeling. The fact that Gu Qing Pei was a man wasn’t so strange anymore.
Fortunately, the room was bathed in darkness.
Gu Qing Pei laughed and ever so calmly he said, “I never forced you to look at my body.”
Yuan Yang fiercely threw the quilt off his body and sat up, “Fuck you’re really damn disgusting.” He jumped to the floor, quickly dressed himself and left.
Gu Qing Pei stretched his body for a comfortable posture, and silently uttered, “Idiot.”
Lying for a while, Gu Qing Pei could not find sleep anymore and his body felt hot and horny. His mind was filled with erotic sensations, perhaps because it had been two or three months since he had fucked a lithe, little boy. It was all his unreleased sexual tension that cause his body to feel sensitive.
It only took a little effort to stimulate his cock but thinking about the situation with Yuan Yang depressed him. Single and sad, Gu Qing Pei was in a funk with self-deprecating thoughts.
He was unconsciously lying on the bed with his body rubbing on the sheets, but he didn’t want to touch himself because Yuan Yang’s words hurt him. He wanted to console himself thinking of what-ifs situations where Yuan Yang liked him, but he didn’t want to depress himself even further.
Ever since he met Yuan Yang, the frequency of facing daily uprisings and petty wars had increased and it has been a real challenge to make any progress. Not only that but also the threat of violence from Yuan Yang from time to time was not a thing to welcome for a man used to smooth, non-physical altercations.
After the lunch break, Gu Qing Pei called for a meeting with the two heads of real estate projects and had a short discussion on land financing matters.
After the meeting Gu Qing Pei went back to Yuan Yang’s office only to find that he had disappeared. He didn’t know that Yuan Yang was lying comfortably on the sofa inside Gu’s office and was playing with his phone.
Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Yuan Yang looked up at him, his eyes revealed a contemptuous look like ???? *this four eyed fucker is up to no good*.
Gu Qing Pei’s heart jumped lightly when he noticed Yuan Yang, but he pretended not to see him, simply walked to his seat and started reading the stack of documents sent up.
Yuan Yang was a study in negative progress and Gu Qing Pei found out that he(Yuan Yang) didn’t like to stay in the office allotted to him, probably because it was too narrow and too airtight so he(Yuan Yang) was usually staying on his(Gu Qing Pei) office sofa when he wasn’t around.
Gu Qing Pei thought Yuan Yang was very annoying and tried to catch him to scold him yet again.
Fortunately, Yuan Yang wasn’t often here at his office, most of the time he was missing.
Usually this wasn’t an unbearable thing but thinking of the cold expression on Yuan Yang’s face, he would not want to see this person regularly or even for a second.
He stared at an application for reimbursement for a long time but didn’t really read it, he finally looked up and said to Yuan Yang, “Don’t stay in my office all day, you go out.”
Yuan Yang closed his eyes and ignored him.????
Gu Qing Pei closed the folder and turned to Yuan Yang, “You’re here to work, not to lie around. Now organize these files in accordance with the respective departments and send them to their departments.” He patted a thick stack of folders submitted to the president for approval signature.
Yuan Yang finally raised his face and looked at him and smiled, flashing his teeth “Don’t you feel guilty?
Gu Qing Pei looked at him quietly, “What do you mean?”
“Did you hit a plane in the back room?”
*this is Chinese colorful way of saying masturbation*????????
Gu Qing Pei frowned, “Did you hit your head?”
Yuan Yang stood up, walked to Gu’s desk and propped his hand on the desk. This tall body was slightly curved and made Gu feel like he was caged in his shadow.
Yuan Yang pointed his finger at Gu Qing Pei’s head with an intimidating look of warning, “Gu, I don’t care what is in your mind, if I found out that you dare to instigate me, I’ll give you a breathable gas.”
*i sincerely have no idea what Yuan Yang meant by this but i guess it’s a threat* ????
Yuan Yang’s words were filled with insult and derision and Gu Qing Pei snapped, “Just lying beside me made you a little gay? Even if you are straight it’s just a natural reaction of sleeping in the afternoon and I repeat what I said, I am not interested in you so don’t waste your breath.”
Yuan Yang sneered at him, “Figure out best way to fix the situation or I won’t forgive you.”
*honestly Yuan Yang is like a brat…my way or I’ll fuck you up*
He stared fiercely with cold eyes, then then cracked the muscles in his neck with a tilt of his head. He then picked up the thick folder on the table and went away.
*neck cracking is like and intimidation thing to make your opponent worry….those sounds usually trigger a worrying response*
Gu Qing Pei sighed and felt more and more outrageous. He really couldn’t stand Yuan Yang’s continuous mood swings and now, even more he wanted Yuan Yang to get out of his face.
Just thinking about the encounter, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Gu Qing Pei picked up the phone and it was the culprit’s father Yuan Lijiang.
????????????????
Gu Qing Pei simmered his deep grudges in his heart and managed to sound passionate in his response, “Hello Yuan Lijiang ”
“Hey, Gu Zong, how was your afternoon rest?”
“Very good, the room was quiet, and the sleeping environment was good.”
“That’s fine and so on the second floor, the office decoration is good, and we will build you a windowless lunchroom.”
“No problem, no problem.”
After the two people chatting few words, Yuan Lijiang cut into the question, “Gu, this week are you available? There is a project I want to check up.”
“Where are you going?”
“Go to Hangzhou.”
“Is this about acquisition of Pak Won Chemicals?”
“Yes, mainly about this one, but there is one thing I need you for. You have firsthand knowledge of the company’s past financial and legal affairs, so do for me a net worth survey within three days. When I’m going, I’ll take you to see the piece of land I plan to buy and invest in for real estate development. You will help me with the staffing.”
“OK, no problem, when are you going?”
“This week, right, you can bring Yuan Yang.”
Gu Qing Pei paused, “Yuan Yang? What for? He hasn’t yet acclimatized himself to the business world.”
“It’s a good thing to get him involved early and take him and let him learn something.”
Although Gu Qing Pei was brimming with dissatisfaction he didn’t show it. So in the end, it seems Yuan LiJiang was Yuan Yang’s teacher and when Yuan Yang’s teacher wasn’t satisfied, but not good at saying it directly he will just make it hard for Gu, “Well, then how about this Thursday?”
“Yes, we’ll do it from Thursday, it should be finished by Monday. Four days should be enough to conclude this issue then you can go out and have time spare for shopping.”
“Okay, I have to see to arrangements, Yuan director, see you next Monday.”
Gu Qing Pei hung up the phone, with his mood even more sour. Even on the business trip he shouldn’t be forced to bring Yuan Yang which was only just more trouble for him. Both the father and son are a headache to him.
Gu Qing Pei called out to Zhang Xia, “When Yuan Yang gets back, let him come directly to my office.”
“OK, Master Gu.”
After a while, the asshole came in.
Gu Qing Pei said, “This Thursday, you will go with me on a business trip to Hangzhou, put it in your work schedule calendar.”
Yuan Yang looked at Gu’s eyes then went to his desk(Gu Qing Pei’s) to find a book, and returned back to the sofa where he sat with his legs crossed.
“Buy Thursday morning tickets for me and you with finance manager Zhao and legal officer Kobayashi, as well as investment manager Wang. We are all going together, set arrangements for a four-star hotel or something better. It should be no more than 10 minutes by car from Baiyuan Chemical Company office. Then reserve three rooms, one for me, another for two women and the last room for you and manager Wang.
Yuan Yang frowned “I won’t sleep with him.”
“You don’t have the right to choose which room you will sleep in. This is to be included in the cost of the company expenses. About travel standards, go back and take a good look at the system and regulations but I promise you…. you’ll never hear a company who will allow the driver to stay alone in a room. As long as the company has clear restrictions about the provisions of those things, we can’t make an exception, if you don’t like how it is then bear the cost of your own accommodation.
Yuan Yang got up to leave.
Gu Qing Pei reminded him, “If you have forgotten, all your property and money has been turned over to your father. If you still live in a hotel for 700 or 800 hundred yuan a night, it shows you lied.”
Yuan Yang’s face sank, he had simply forgotten that he has no money for his expensive plans.
He was penniless at this time because his dad brought in lawyers, and with the help of his financial advisor, had frozen his money, frozen all the properties in his account, and sketched away everything he had left in his wallet. Thousands of dollars in the banks, so much money in the cards but nothing can be used so it was all useless. To be precise, in his current situation, he was a poor worker.
But he has not felt the impact of anything these days. He now lived in the house he bought which means he didn’t pay the house rent, the company provides food and he was basically too lazy to eat the night meal. The car belonged to the company assigned to Gu Qing Pei an Audi car, oil costs he didn’t have to spend money, it was billed to the company expenses.
Since he hadn’t spent any money during this period, naturally, he didn’t realize how serious this problem was.
This time, he really felt the full impact of it.
He wasn’t a person who was used to the high quality, mega-expensive life style of his class of people, or he wouldn’t stay in the army for more than four years without any complaints, but in his life before he has gone through.
He was rich but had no place to spend, but never has he had the ‘no money to spend the problem’.
He gritted his teeth, couldn’t help but bare his teeth in anger at Gu Qing Pei.
Gu Qing Pei observed his expression, trying to guess what he was thinking, his heart could not help but gloat. He gave a time limit for three days. “Prepare all this, then you also go back and pack up ready to travel.”
Yuan Yang walked away with his stomach seething acid and fire and as usual, he went to the balcony for a smoke. He lit up his cigarette and called Fang Peng.
“Hey, brother.” Peng laughed at the other end of the phone.
“If you’re waking up with a whore next to you, I’m hanging up this call.”
“Rely on you to you eat gunpowder before anything else and no…. I went to a client yesterday to drink, I have a hangover going on ….so fuck you, asshole… I’m too lazy to deal with you right now…..if there’s nothing I’m going to hang up.”
“Wait, I have something to talk to you.”
“There is something to talk about?”
“Remember the last time I told you about a slave driver named Gu.”
“Oh, huh?” Peng had just woken up after a night of drunkenness and his memory was for shit.
Yuan Yang impatiently said, “I was told by him to go to Hangzhou on a business trip, this is the best chance to meet you there and enact a perfect revenge. Now, I trust you to find me a reliable duck, I do not want to spend a day with him.”
* a duck is like a male prostitute or money boys or so as they’re called in east Asian countries*????
“Oh, I love this,” Peng came alive with enthusiasm when he heard he was going to do something bad. “There is no problem, leave it to me”
After hanging up, Yuan Yang’s lips curved in a chilling smile.
