Tit For Tat (Beloved Enemy) - Chap 9
Gu Qing Pei arrived at the restaurant ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, so he did not expect Zhao Yuan to be waiting for him there.
He smiled and walked towards her and the two embraced intimately. He said, “Why did you come so early?
“I just got off the flight and came directly from the airport. I didn’t go home.”
“Oh, so do tell, where have you been?”
“I went to Fiji, it’s a very beautiful place, so free….when you have the time you should go.” Zhao Yuan flirted while flicking her hair. She did not look very beautiful, but she was what a grown up man would prefer and she was the kind of woman that would make a man walk through hell for her and feel like they can’t help but want to perform better in front of this type of woman.
Gu Qing Pei laughed, “Certainly.” He pulled out a small flannel box from his pocket. “I have not seen you in six months and this is for you.”
Zhao Yuan smiled and opened the box, there was a pair of diamond stud earrings, sophisticated and beautiful. They looked very valuable. Zhao Yuan laughed at him, “You are the most intimate man I’ve ever seen, but it’s a pity you don’t like women.”
Gu Qing Pei shook his head with a smile, “Who said that …..I really like you, you are a smart and sexy woman.” He said the truth as it was. Zhao Yuan was really the kind that most men would like, and strictly speaking call for appreciation.
Gu did not have any sort of contact with girls whatsoever both at school and college. Since he elected for the petrochemical industry, the class also didn’t have female in it. Until he joined work, there was no chance of contact with women.
At that time, he really didn’t know that he was different from other boys and he was not interested in women.
Later, when his parents urged him to get married, Zhao Yuan appeared in a timely manner, and took the initiative to chase him. He couldn’t pick anything wrong with Zhao Yuan and he felt that life was probably flowing naturally. When the time was right, we meet the right person to get married, each individual’s life was like this, not to mention that he hadn’t met many people with character like Zhao Yuan’s. Maybe he felt his bachelor time was up, or maybe the man’s vanity was at work, so she was married to him.
At that time he was twenty-four.
After marriage, he discovered a big problem. He had absolutely no sexual feelings for the female species.
What followed was the transfer of his work at home. He began to engage in personnel and administrative work. He had a broad network and many contacts. He also slowly became talkative and slowly discovered that there were many people like him (homosexuals) in this world and they also like him had never touched anything before.
More than a year after they were married, problems started and the marriage stumbled, and everything felt unpleasant. They both realized that his sexuality was a problem.
Gu Qing Pei was very guilty of this, but also very worried about the shame that will follow if Zhao Yuan left him, but Zhao Yuan simply stayed married to him.
Zhao Yuan was a smart and independent woman, so she did not blame Gu Qing Pei for what he was, but over the years Gu Qing Pei still felt fully guilty because of her situation. Zhao Yuan has not been married since then, so to assuage his guilt he continued to pay six years of alimony, and if Zhao Yuan doesn’t get married, he plans to pay for her through her entire life.
Zhao Yuan sighed, “You’re pleasing to the eye, but not cute as before. When I first met you, you were still an engineer, not talking to girls, only looking at women’s shoes. I didn’t expect seventy-eight years of wisdom, but you went and practised it.”
“The situation was so strong yes. If I were still the engineer who did not speak, I would not know where or how everything ran, such as throwing which cones drilled oil wells, Think of this, it’s okay to change a bit.”
Zhao Yuan smiled, “Yes, I heard you resigned from your previous company and really went with Yuan Lijiang’s company?”
“Yes, I considered for more than a year and finally decided to change the environment. If I continue to stay in Yuan’s company, I can forecast what I’ll be ten or twenty years from now.”
“I can imagine that……” Zhao Yuan nodded, “Oh, we have not ordered any food, I’m hungry.”
Gu Qing Pei waved for the waiter.
When Yuan Yang was eating dinner with friends, he was ridiculed for two hours because he was wearing a full suit and it was depressing him. Yuan Yang was the eldest son but he was acting just like a hooligan. While he looked good in this suit, the people he was friends with all felt strange seeing him in a suit. They took this opportunity to ridicule him and if they missed this chance when will they ever?
After eating with friends, Wu Zi Ang was ready to take everyone to the bar. He blabbered about a new model who looked very beautiful, Wu Zi Ang wanted to chase her, specifically to get her number and probably sleep with her. The bar was recently renovated and Yuan Yang was walking around idle for a while before joining them.
That bar in Sanlitun area was small, but the location was good, the business has been relatively bursting, surrounded by all kinds of other bars which were popular as well.
They clamored in three cars, and soon went to the place.
Wu Zi Ang talked to the security guard to get them parking spaces and the guard greeted the Princelings, allowing them to go inside.
At this time, Yuan Yang lightly swept his eyes across the street looking around when he suddenly felt a familiar figure appeared in his sight. He looked back and suddenly recognized the Porsche parked on the street.
He snared, “Gu Qing Pei.”
Yuan Yang frowned, subconsciously turned and walked towards it and Peng went after him.
Peng had a strange look on him, “Let’s go, what are you doing, stopping in the middle of the street.”
Wu Zi Ang laughed, hugging the model’s waist and said, “Jing Xiao, I say we are not usually like this. How could we have fun for one night alone? Is that even enough, ah?”
The model was a very feisty person and and without scruples, she said, “If Yuan Yang like people like that, there are millions of people out here every night.”
The group of people laughed.
Yuan Yang didn’t pay attention to what they were saying, his eyes have only been staring at Gu Qing Pei.
Gu Qing Pei really was a naughty person, after a long time he finally got off the car and went into a bar.
Everyone else too followed Yuan Yang’s gaze to see what he was staring at but the sky was too dark and today was Friday so there was generally a large crowd in Sanlitun. One simply cannot determine who was being watched by Yuan Yang.
Peng nudged him with his elbow, “Brother what beauty are you staring at? Let me also appreciate it.”
“Asshole, don’t block my sight.” Until Gu Qing Pei walked into the bar, Yuan Yang didn’t stop staring at him.
“Hey, you are standing behind me and saying I’m blocking you, aren’t you being totally unreasonable, yes? What are you looking at?”
“I’m looking at him.”
“Who? An acquaintance? You have acquaintanceship, where? Let’s go and say hello.”
“He walked into the bar.”
“Which bar?”
“That one.” Yuan Yang pointed to the bar on the opposite side.
Xiao Zheng glanced at the bar with an ambiguous smile, “Well, it is a gay bar, Yuan Yang your friend is bent hahah.”
Yuan Yang was surprised for a moment, “What are you talking about? That is GAY bar ?”
“Yes.”
Yuan Yang frowned, “That’s not quite like him.” He also thought how a gay bar has to be different with other bars.
“They cannot stick a board outside written with ‘We are a GAY BAR’. I am familiar with this area, that my friend is a gay bar, but also caters to high status people. Most people cannot afford to spend money in there.”
Yuan Yang slowly exposed a sinister smile, his heart bleeding endless.
Gu Qing Pei, you fucker, I finally know how to squeeze you up.
