Accidentally Married a Man Full of Vinegar - Chapter 43

Chu Yi was a little ashamed of his behavior of looking for sugar.

But at the bottom of his heart, he thought that no one would know except for himself.

Then why not.

So Chu Yi said, “Your cousin’s my old client. Although the order today was finished, there’ll definitely be other orders in the future.”

Qin Yiheng made a faint “mn”, and then lay back.

Chu Yi, “…”

That’s it?

Fine.

That’s okay too.

Already satisfied.

He was about to lie down, but he saw Qin Yiheng bring his phone to his ear.

Chu Yi turned his head and heard Qin Yiheng’s call picked up by the other side.

“Ge!”

A very familiar voice was transmitted over, since the bedroom was too quiet, Chu Yi could hear it clearly.

Wasn’t this voice the voice of Mr. Zhao he heard this afternoon?

“Ge, why did you call me? What’s up?”

Chu Yi leaned over a little and listened carefully.

Qin Yiheng asked, “You’ve always been calling Chu Yi xiao-gege?”

“Who’s Chu Yi?” Then Zhao Xin remembered, “Ah, ge, your partner right, haha, yeah, I call him xiao-gege?”

Qin Yiheng, “Don’t call him that.”

Zhao Xin, “Why?”

Qin Yiheng suddenly froze. He thought for half a second and said, “He’s younger than you.”

Chu Yi suddenly laughed.

Zhao Xin said, “He can still be called xiao-gege. All handsome guys are xiao-geges.”

Qin Yiheng lowered his voice, “Zhao Xin.”

Zhao Xin immediately chickened out, “Got it, got it, I’ll stop, I’ll stop, I’ll call him Boss Chu, Fesigner Chu, okay ge?”

Qin Yiheng, “Sure.”

Zhao Xin, “Anything else, ge?”

Qin Yiheng, “No.”

Without waiting for Zhao Xin, Qin Yiheng hung up the phone first.

Then he turned to look at Chu Yi and showed him his phone, “It’s handled.”

Chu Yi held back his laughter and nodded, “Okay.”

It was getting late. After Qin Yiheng put away his phone, he also put down the magazine and turned off the lights.

Not long after the lights were turned off, Chu Yi’s phone suddenly lit up.

He quietly reached for his phone and turned down the brightness.

On the phone was a message from Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao: I was threatened
Mr. Zhao: I can’t call you xiao-gege in the future
Mr. Zhao: Choose between Designer Chu and Boss Chu

Before Chu Yi replied, he sent another message.

Mr. Zhao: You don’t need to choose
Mr. Zhao: I have chosen it myself
Mr. Zhao: I’ll call you sao-zi[1]
Chu Yi smiled and replied: Okay

Customers are kings. As long as you like it, Mr. Zhao.

Zhao Xin didn’t send any more messages after that, so Chu Yi exited the chatbox.

When he returned to the page of chats, Chu Yi noticed that there was a red dot in his Moments. What a coincidence, it was Mr. Zhao.

Chu Yi tapped into it and saw what he posted a minute ago.

It was a screenshot showing the time 0:23. What’s shown above the time was the call from ‘Qin Yiheng gege’ with the call time of one minute and five seconds.

The caption reads, “Just because I called his significant other xiao-gege a few times, he called me in the middle of the night and threatened that I shouldn’t be calling his significant other that way and made me change my words. Mom, aunt, dad, and uncle, do you see this? What kind of human hardship is this?”.

Chu Yi laughed and commented: When did your brother threaten you
Soon, Zhao Xin replied to him.
Zhao Xin: He just has

Soon, another profile appeared in the comment.

Qin Yiheng’s reply to Chu Yi: Go to sleep
Chu Yi immediately: Okay

So, Zhao Xin replied with a bunch of lemon emojis under Qin Yiheng’s reply.

Along the way, he also replied to Chu Yi with a long string of “xiao-gege, xiao-gege, xiao/gege”.

But this string of xiao-geges didn’t survive long. Chu Yi only refreshed it and Zhao Xin had already deleted it.

He’s indeed really scared of Qin Yiheng, such a coward.

“Sleep.” Qin Yiheng said.

Chu Yi put away his phone immediately, “Oh, okay.”

Alright.

Who was he laughing at?

Wasn’t he also scared of Qin Yiheng himself?

Qin Yiheng was probably tired and didn’t do anything with him.

He just happened to be very sleepy as well. After he put down his phone, he hadn’t heard any movements from Qin Yiheng’s side. Thus, he was gradually falling asleep.

In a half-asleep and half-awake state, he seemed to feel Qin Yiheng suddenly move.

Chu Yi opened his eyes, he couldn’t see anything, so he closed them again.

After a while, he felt Qin Yiheng’s hand on his waist.

Chu Yi woke up a bit.

Qin Yiheng’s voice was very deep, “I’ll sleep holding you.”

Chu Yi immediately opened his eyes, and then, with great cooperation, rolled into Qin Yiheng’s arms following Qin Yiheng’s strength.

The tip of his nose touched Qin Yiheng’s neck, his head rested on Qin Yiheng’s arm, Qin Yiheng’s hand was on his waist, his shoulder was right next to Qin Yiheng, and his knees also touched Qin Yiheng’s leg.

It wasn’t the first time he was held, but this time, Chu Yi felt warm to the point of no help.

Of course, it was also uncomfortable to the point of no help.

He couldn’t spread his body.

Qin Yiheng rubbed his head a few times and said, “So soft.”

Chu Yi made a “wu” sound, buried his head in Qin Yiheng’s arms, and whispered, “How am I soft?”

Qin Yiheng, “Your hair is soft.”

Chu Yi, “…”

Oh.

OK.

Whatever.

He wants to stay in this posture forever, nobody can drag him out of Qin Yiheng’s arms in this life!

Hahaha.

Crazy.

Go to sleep.

The next day, Qin Yiheng got up early. After Qin Yiheng left, Chu Yi noticed that it wasn’t even 7 o’clock yet.

He silently praised “you’re amazing, lao-gong” and then went back to sleep.

Today, Chu Yi got up a little earlier than usual, but because he dawdled to the studio, it was almost 10 o’clock.

The weather warmed up a little so the heating wasn’t turned on in the studio and the door was left open.

As soon as Chu Yi entered, Rongrong and Xiao-Zhan greeted him.

After greeting, Rongrong asked, “Boss, was Mr. Zhao’s design finalized yesterday?”

Chu Yi took off his scarf and said, “I’ll tell you guys something very coincidental.”

Rongrong raised her eyebrows, “What?”

Chu Yi, “This Mr. Zhao is my husband’s cousin.”

Rongrong and Xiao-Zhan digested it for a long time before they both made an “ah” sound together.

Chu Yi, “So after I modified it only once yesterday, he told me it was good to go.”

Rongrong laughed, “That’s great. Boss finally doesn’t have to be tortured by Mr. Zhao.”

Chu Yi nodded in agreement.

Based on the manners he saw last night, if Mr. Zhao wants to torture him in the future, he’ll just bring out Qin Yiheng, then Mr. Zhao will definitely chicken out.

Xiao-Zhan asked, “Then is Mr. Zhao still going to look for you to make designs?”

Chu Yi shrugged, “I don’t know. I think so.”

“How many orders did Mr. Zhao get from boss? There must be more than ten?” Xiao-Zhan shook his head, “There’s finally a good solution.”

Rongrong nodded, “That’s right, jeez, we don’t understand what he dislikes and wants. There’s really something wrong with his taste.”

Chu Yi patted Rongrong’s chair, “Okay, do work.”

Rongrong laughed and put on a ‘shutting up’ gesture, then whispered to Xiao-Zhan, “Boss is siding with the one at fault, looks like we can’t talk about Mr. Zhao in the future.”

Chu Yi entered his office, turned on the computer, and opened WeChat. He discovered that Qin Yiheng had sent him a message five minutes ago.

Qin Yiheng: Are you awake?
Chu Yi: Already arrived at the studio
Chu Yi: What’s up?
Qin Yiheng: I’m going to University A this afternoon, you wanna come?
Chu Yi looked at the work on his memo, then replied: Sure
Chu Yi: What time?
Qin Yiheng: Let’s have lunch together
Qin Yiheng: Then we’ll go after lunch
Qin Yiheng: It’ll end before 4
Chu Yi: Okay
Chu Yi: Is it the thing about you donating a building?

Qin Yiheng: Mn
Chu Yi: Got it

As they chatted, he also got a message from the high school group from yesterday.

Chu Yi clicked in and saw his deskmate sending over the time and place of the weekend dinner.

Deskmate: Shande restaurant, at 6 pm, this Saturday. We’ll head to karaoke the floor above after dinner, no one is allowed to be late

The students who wanted to go have replied ‘received’, Chu Yi also followed them and replied ‘received’.

Then he sent a screenshot of this to Qin Yiheng and asked him if he was free on Saturday night.

Chu Yi: It’s a group of my high school classmates
Chu Yi: They want to see you
After a while, Qin Yiheng replied to him: I’m not sure yet
Chu Yi didn’t pressure him: It’s all right
Chu Yi: We can talk about it then

Maybe it’s really the same as what he thought last night, Chu Yi’s living too comfortably right now. Since there was such an activity for him to attend this afternoon, it made Chu Yi look forward to it all morning.

With this, Chu Yi’s work efficiency also increased a lot.

He made a logo and a cover design.

While editing something, the office was suddenly knocked on twice.

Chu Yi didn’t turn his head, he said staring at the computer, “Come in.”

There was a sound from the other side of the door, and then a man approached.

Next, Chu Yi’s forehead was covered by a big hand, which pulled him back.

“Why are you so close to the computer? It’s bad for your eyes.”

Chu Yi raised his head and smiled, “Qin Yiheng, why are you here?”

Qin Yiheng let go, “Looking for you to eat together.”

Chu Yi looked at the time on the computer. It was almost 12 o’clock.

He pointed to the computer, “I’ll be right away. Wait for me for a few minutes.”

Qin Yiheng shook his head, “It’s alright, no hurry, take your time.”

Once Chu Yi buried himself in his work, as if there was no one else.

So when Qin Yiheng stood beside him and stared at him, he didn’t know.

Chu Yi was editing the details, bit by bit. Suddenly, his forehead was covered again.

Chu Yi immediately laughed and leaned back a little.

Qin Yiheng asked, “Have you always been looking at the computer so closely?”

Chu Yi thought, “Maybe.” He added, “It’s all right. My eyesight has always been very good, it won’t turn bad no matter how I use it. Moreover, I’m already 26, the degree’s probably already set.”

Qin Yiheng shook his head, “Still can’t.”

Chu Yi smiled, “Okay.”

After this, Chu Yi paid attention to it a lot and kept a distance while editing.

A few minutes later, the edit was finally done. He clicked save and turned off the computer.

“Let’s go,” Chu Yi stood up, but saw something, “Mn? What’s this?”

Chu Yi picked up the plush that suddenly appeared on the computer desk and asked Qin Yiheng, “Did you put this here?”

Qin Yiheng nodded, “Mn.”

Chu Yi widened his eyes and his emotions slowly caught up with his nerves, he was both surprised and overjoyed, “This is-, this is the merch from the offline event in July. This-, I-, it’s-, you-.”

Chu Yi was so excited that he didn’t know what to say.

He couldn’t hold down his smile at all, but it wasn’t good to behave like an idiot, so he could only pretend to put the plush back where Qin Yiheng had just put it.

Chu Yi turned to Qin Yiheng and said, “Thank you.”

Qin Yiheng raised his eyebrows, “Who are you thanking?”

Chu Yi immediately understood and whispered, “Thank you, lao-gong.”

Qin Yiheng can now determine when Chu Yi’s actually happy and when he’s faking happy.

Right now, he’s actually happy.

Because those fawn eyes look so good right now.

Qin Yiheng smiled, “As long as you like it.”

Chu Yi nodded twice, “I like it.”

Qin Yiheng, “Let’s go eat.”

Chu Yi nodded, “Okay.”

Xiao-Chen’s car was outside. Since Chu Yi was in a good mood, as soon as he got in the car, he greeted Xiao-Chen and asked if Xiao Chen had eaten lunch yet[2].

After knowing that Xiao-Chen didn’t eat, Chu Yi said on the spot, “Then let’s eat together.”

Only after saying this, did he realize that Qin Yiheng was the one who actually gets to decide.

Excuse him, he got so spoiled to the point of fluttering.

But he still suppressed his emotions and asked Qin Yiheng, “Is it okay?”

Qin Yiheng continued to spoil him, “Since you already said it, can I take it back?”

Chu Yi giggled.

It wasn’t the first time that Xiao-Chen had dinner with Qin Yiheng. Usually, when they’re outside, Qin Yiheng will bring him with him if he doesn’t have time to settle the meal by himself.

So like this, it wasn’t actually awkward.

After dinner, Qin Yiheng received a call from the school. Qin Yiheng gave them a time, saying they would be there in about 20 minutes.

Chu Yi hasn’t been back to school for a long time. As Xiao-Chen drove the way there, it made him feel very familiar.

Many buildings and shops in this street have changed.

“I don’t know if there are any changes in the school.”

Qin Yiheng answered him, “It hasn’t really changed.”

Chu Yi nodded.

Accurately, 21 minutes later, the car rolled over at the office building.

Xiao-Chen opened the door and Qin Yiheng got off first.

There were already several teachers waiting on the side of the school. Chu Yi followed him out of the car and heard someone saying politely, “Hello, President Qin.”

What a familiar voice.

Chu Yi raised his head at the sound.

Xu Zhiming?
