Tit For Tat (Beloved Enemy) - Chap 38
YuanYang massaged his waist for quite a while. His skills were particularly diligent. Originally, GuQingPei’s waist was sore and painful, but after YuanYang’s massaging, he actually felt quite relieved. He guessed that YuanYang likely had similar training from before. Getting bruises in the army is probably a common occurrence so they all needed to know ways to cope with it.
Neither of them spoke. The room is dark. It was rare to have such quiet and peaceful moment between them so neither wants to speak first for fear of destroying such tranquility.
After massaging for ten more minutes, YuanYang fit snugly to him and went to sleep.
YuanYang slept without a sound. If it wasn’t for the heat emanating from his back and the very heavy arm resting on his (GuQingPei) waist, GuQingPei could barely feel the presence of someone next to him. At the same time, it allowed him to ignore the awkwardness of sleeping with an adult man. Not thinking too much, he soon fell asleep.
GuQingPei was awakened by his cell phone’s ringing tone
After shuddering momentarily, he got off the bed and answered the phone, “Hello? Hey. Chairman Wu. Haha. Yeah. I’ve been a bit busy recently. It’s tiring. Just resting at noon. It’s fine, it’s fine. I’ll definitely go. Even if you didn’t call, I need to get up anyway. Alright, see you at half past three.”
GuQingPei hung up and looked at the cell phone screen. It was already half past two. He had always been a light sleeper. When he napped, he would never oversleep. Typically, he would have awakened at 1:30. Now he actually slept so deeply. If this call didn’t come, he didn’t know what time he would have slept till.
He hadn’t felt so refreshed from sleeping in such a long time; GuQingPei couldn’t help but turned to glance at YuanYang.
YuanYang mumbled, “You need to go out again?”
“Chairman Wu invited me to play golf. Get up. We need to leave immediately. It takes least forty minutes to get there.”
YuanYang yawned and got out of bed.
When GuQingPei was changing his clothes, YuanYang looked on with interest. Looking at him and commenting on the side, “Even at your age, you kept your figure quite well, just that your muscles aren’t as appealing. If there is time, I’ll teach you how to train.”
GuQingPei glared at him “What do you mean even at my age? 70-80s? I’m only 33.”
“You drink tea and play ball with a group of old men all day long, acting so close to them like they’re your brothers. I’ve always thought that you are more than 40.”
GuQingPei laughed, “Then your taste is very heavy.”
“I’m much younger than you and I’m not even repulsed. Why would you be repulsed by me?”
GuQingPei changed into a casual outfit and fixed his hair in front of the mirror. He raised his chin and look calmly at YuanYang from the mirror, “The older the man is, the more charming he is. I’m repulsed with your immaturity.”
YuanYang looked at GuQingPei’s slightly arrogant appearance; his heartbeat suddenly thumped uncontrollably fast. He really wanted to shove GuQingPei onto the bed now to get rid of that fake-skinned western suit so this person will open up his body for him and let him do whatever he pleases.
Looking at GuQingPei, he even forgot to refute his mocking sarcasm.
GuQingPei didn’t have time to notice that the little wolf dog was hungrily looking at him as if he was a dog bone. He got dressed quickly and rushed YuanYang, “You’re still not up, hurry up and get out of bed. Iron your pants, you’re not allowed to sleep wearing a suit in the future. How can you meet people like this? Oh yeah, do you have sneakers? You can’t wear leather shoes on the field.”
YuanYang curled his lips and opened his eyes, “Nope.”
“Fine, we’ll just buy it there then. Hurry up and iron your clothes.”
GuQingPei has an iron in his office. YuanYang didn’t even bother removing his pants and iron directly on himself. As a result, the steam was too hot and his legs were scalded through his pants making him hiss out of his mouth.
GuQingPei sneered at him, as if looking at an idiot.
YuanYang felt a bit humiliated and angry, “Why the hell are you laughing? If it wasn’t for you rushing me.”
“Then hurry up”
YuanYang carelessly ironed a few times, “Okay it’s good, let’s go.”
GuQingPei grabbed his caddy from the locker and handed it to YuanYang. Then, he put on his jacket and strode out of the office. YuanYang carried the caddy on his shoulders, then with his two hands in his pocket, followed behind GuQingPei with big strides. As the two men walked past the company’s central office area, everyone’s eyes unconsciously followed them.
The two men standing together is simply eye candy.
The two quickly rushed to the agreed upon golf club but was still twenty minutes late.
Chairman Wu and the others were drinking tea in the lobby waiting for him. GuQingPei smiled, “My apologies for making you all wait for me.”
Chairman Wu brought three people along with him. GuQingPei knew two of them. They’ve had meals before; only one was a stranger to him, a man in his 30s, fairly tall with a warming smile, quite handsome. Looking at this person, his appearance is strikingly dapper with exceeding temperament.
The man stood up with his eyes faintly sweeping toward GuQingPei and YuanYang. Then, he immediately reached out his hand to GuQingPei and said, “Director Gu, I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time.”
GuQingPei smiled and looked at Chairman Wu, “And this is?”
“This is the Chairman of QingDa Real Estate, my relative (by marriage) and the oldest son of my in-law’s family. My daughter got married last month but Directly Gu couldn’t make it. Otherwise, I would have introduced you guys then.”
GuQingPei laughed, “Even though we haven’t met before, but the name of QingDa’s chairman is quite well known. Nice to meet you.”
QingDa Real Estate has gotten bigger and bigger in recent years. The young boss’s name has become more and more resounding in the capital. The last time Chairman Wu’s daughter got married, he was still having a high fever in Hangzhou. It was assumed that there must have been many respected famous and prominent attendees; missing out on such social occasion is definitely a loss.
WangJin smiled, “Director Gu is too modest. Wu Ge speaks very highly of you. I’ve just returned from a business trip today, having just gotten home and took a shower before being pulled into this. He insisted that we must meet. Director Gu is indeed a fine-looking talented man, this was all worth it.”
When the two people were praising each other, YuanYang was standing behind GuQingPei with his eyebrows furrowed, sizing up WangJin. Not knowing why, but his first impression of this person is not very good. Maybe because of the pretentious elite temperament radiating from this person is a bit like seeing GuQingPei that first time. No, actually he is even more loathing compared to GuQingPei.
“And this is?” WangJin looked at YuanYang. He could not help from raising his eyebrows. He rarely meets a boy that look so remarkable.
Before GuQingPei got to respond, Chairman Wu interjected, “Director Wang, the background of this one is not small. He is YuanLiJiang’s oldest son, now serving as Director Gu’s assistant.”
“Oh? Director Gu’s reputation is definitely quite significant for Chairman Yuan to be putting his son under your care.” WangJin smiled at GuQingPei, eyes gaze deeply profound.
GuQingPei laughed, “Can’t be said as under my care. I’m merely a private mentor. Young Master Yuan is young, needing some guidance. It just so happen that I have a little experience.”
Chairman Wu glanced at his watch, “Let’s play a game? Think we’ll only have time for one game. The weather is cold, the sky gets dark earlier.”
GuQingPei smiled, “Okay, following old rules, 100k yuan a ball.”
“Director Gu, after the defeat from last time, I went home and practiced for a long time. This time, I’m going to let you taste how good I am. Hahahaha.”
Several people took a golf cart and headed to the field.
The group of six people divided up into two vehicles. GuQingPei, YuanYang and WangJin shared the same vehicle. YuanYang sat in the front seat with the caddy and GuQingPei and WangJin sat behind, happily chatting.
WangJin is only three years older than GuQingPei. Both are close in age, young and promising. They seem to appreciate each other’s talents.
YuanYang and GuQingPei’s backs are against each other. Every word they said clearly fell into his ears. Although it was all irrelevant business gossip but YuanYang hearing the two cheerfully talking and joking along, his heart is quite unhappy.
Upon hearing WangJin inviting GuQingPei out for tea next time and GuQingPei delightedly agreeing, YuanYang finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He reached out his hand to mildly pinch GuQingPei’s waist.
GuQingPei’s body shook, having to reflexively bent down.
“Director Gu, are you okay? WangJin held his shoulders and looked at him astonishingly.
“Oh, I’m fine, just a bit of chest pain.” GuQingPei turned his head around and glared at YuanYang. Not to be outdone, YuanYang glared back with his expression full of warning.
After getting off the cart, YuanYang deliberately got between GuQingPei and WangJin, standing very close to GuQingPei, following closely where he went.
Chairman Wu asked YuanYang, “Young Master Yuan, do you play (golf)?”
YuanYang shook his head, “No.”
Another CEO smiled and voiced; “Didn’t young master Yuan go into the army in your teens? They carry loaded rifles for real emergencies. Where would he have time for these kinds of games?”
“That’s right, hahaha”
YuanYang changed into the sneakers that they just bought, matching a business suit with sneakers. If he was a celebrity that would have been fine, but in such business occasion, it is quite unfitting.
WangJin smiled and looked at him, “Young Master Yuan’s figure is really good. Clothes on you are really how it should be worn. No matter how it’s worn, it’s really distinctive.”
YuanYang can hear his sarcasm and anger started to rise within. He really wanted to give two slaps to his hypocritical smiling face.
GuQingPei smiled, “We came out in a hurry today and there were no suitable clothes at the time, please excuse us.”
“Hey, we are all old friends, whatever is fine.” Director Wu laughed cheerfully, “Who is going to start first?”
“Wu Ge can, since he coordinated this.”
“Alrighty.” Director Wu took a few breaths and started the first shot.
Although YuanYang did not play, he still followed along closely with GuQingPei in every step of the way. Any time that WangJin talks to GuQingPei, he would immediately interrupt.
No one is an idiot. GuQingPei’s expression became more and more unsightly. WangJin’s smiling expression is also somewhat reserved.
When WangJin was hitting the ball, GuQingPei pull YuanYang to the side and whispered, “Why are you being crazy again?”
“He annoys me.” YuanYang says straightforwardly.
“You’re just trying to start problems. Don’t hang around us. I want to talk to him about cooperating on a project.” GuQingPei pushed him away, “Stay away from us.”
YuanYang pulled onto him, “I can tell that he’s nothing good just by seeing him. He can’t be gay, right?”
“Are you out of your mind? He is the Chairman of QingDa, even if he’s a she-male, it’s not my concern. Stop causing trouble.” GuQingPei glared at him furiously. But when he turned around, his face was already radiating with happiness, full of smiles.
“Ahh this ball, Director Wang hit it beautifully. Everyone is going start to worry.”
“Oh, look at me. I definitely can’t lose today”
YuanYang stood on the sidelines, full of rage while observing GuQingPei and WangJin talk endlessly in a very friendly manner.
This WangJin is really fucking annoying.
