Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 505: Vinegar Drinking Season

Because he had been arrested in a different province, Qie Anzhie thought he was dead and had someone incite the Ba family to cause trouble at GameX.

"Send a company representative to let them know that we found him," he said before cutting the call. He leaned back in his chair sighing. As the saying goes heavy is the head that wears the crown. It was indeed heavy and he wanted to go see his queen to offload.

Wen Qinxi on the other hand, was in the gaming room arguing with the system for no good reason. He still had a score to settle with the system and had to transfer the money that Jolie cheated out of Xia Bai, Hei Bao and Machu for the so-called companion.

He was like a parent returning money to the kids his son bullied. It was these kinds of moments that made him miss Qie Xieling. He would swap out the system for Qie Xieling anyday.

"You are lucky I didn't turn you into a smart toilet so please shut up for me," he said typing something in the display, "The trial begins next week, right?"

Hei Bao screwed back the lid of his water bottle while saying, "Yep, I heard that they are bringing in famous anchors like that Zheng guy. He's pretty cool."

Xia Bai wasn't too pleased that Hei Bao was praising others so he asked, "How about me?" ogling at him making Hei Bao's face heat up.

Wen Qinxi wanted to say 'just fucking date already' but his mind was stuck on the name Zheng. That name caused goosebumps all over his body. God forbid if it's Kai Zheng.

"You are obviously cooler than Kai Zheng. You create games and he just plays them so of course, the creator is god," replied Hei Bao not daring to look straight at him with the word bashful written all over his face.

"Kai Zheng?" asked Wen Qinxi feeling a little shaken. He truly hoped that ass hole was as straight as a steel pipe otherwise who knows if there would be a repeat of what happened in the game.

"Mn, do you want me to send you a link to his live stream?" asked Xia Bai noticing something off about Wen Qinxi.

"Nope," replied Wen Qinxi before pulling Hei Bao to the side with his arms wrapped around the man's shoulders, "I have something to ask you."

This earned him a ferocious glare coming from Xia Bai but Wen Qinxi didn't give a damn. "You have a tattoo on your belly, don't you?" asked Wen Qinxi in a whisper.

Hei Bao's brows creased wondering when Wen Qinxi saw it but before he could ask Wen Qinxi said, "Team building week last year..... and I am not a pervert."

"But that's what perverts usually say," said Hei Bao seeming a little vexed.

Wen Qinxi's lips twitched staring at Hei Bao like he was looking at an idiot. He wanted to pinch him in retaliation but he still needed help so he restrained himself. "I got a tattoo when I was drunk and I want to remove it so what should I do?" asked Wen Qinxi through gritted teeth. It had to go before he gave in to Qie Ranzhe's persuasion.

Hei Bao gasped and whispered, "You have really changed. I thought you can't stand pain or did the CEO fuck the fear out of you in Flagship?"

Okay, this time Wen Qinxi couldn't restrain himself. He pinched the side of Hei Bao's waist making him yelp out. One can only imagine Xia Bai's expression right now. He looked like he was part of the 300 ready for war.

"La-laser tattoo removal. That's your best bet," he said rubbing the spot he had been pinched.

"Is it painful?" asked Wen Qinxi. If it is painful then he could only chicken out.

"Yes, it hurts like a son of a bitch," replied Jolie who had no business eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Wait, what hurts?" asked Xia Bai dropping whatever he was doing to listen in.

"Jolie, just stay out of it otherwise I will have your avatar changed into a dog," said Wen Qinxi before turning back to Hei Bao, "is it that bad?"

"Mn, very painful the first time but it gets better over time..... let see what it looks like," said Hei Bao pulling up Wen Qinxi's sweater out of curiosity, "show me the size so I can see if it would hurt."

"No, seriously.... you can't," replied Wen Qinxi feeling like a maiden that was asked to strip naked in public.

Do me a favour and imagine this situation without visuals. This conversation could be interpreted in plenty of ways but to Qie Ranzhe who was standing outside, it had one meaning.

In the CEO's mind, this harmless conversation about a tattoo that came to being due to a drunken mistake was converted to Wen Qinxi wanting to drill Hei Bao and Hei Bao wanting to see the size to know if it would hurt. What made it worse was the fact that he only arrived halfway through the conversation.

The two were so caught up in their tug of war that they didn't notice the other two people wearing ugly expressions. When Wen Qinxi finally noticed Qie Ranzhe his heart skipped a beat and he almost cried out, "Mummy."

Qie Ranzhe's expression was ice cold with an aura that could have wild animals fleeing the forest to save their lives. He didn't utter a word but gestured with his head for Wen Qinxi to remove his hand from Hei Bao.

Wen Qinxi pursed his lips and mindlessly let go. Qie Ranzhe didn't say anything else as he walked away just like that. The gaming room fell into an awkward silence with the smell of gunpowder lingering in the air.

It was Jolie who broke the ice. "Oh shit! I think you need to go and coax the boss otherwise you are all going to work overtime," said the system wishing it had melon seeds to pair with this good show.

"Coax who.... he is not my boyfriend," said Wen Qinxi. Well, that's what he said but internally he was freaking out like a dog before the storm. He might be freaking out but he wasn't going to coax anyone. Let's take it as payback for the hospital incident.

The system was right, Qie Ranzhe needed coaxing but the person he wanted to be coaxed by didn't follow him. He deliberately slowed his steps at some point considering Wen Qinxi's legs weren't as long as his but even then Wen Qinxi didn't show up.

The only one who benefited so far was Xia Bai who scored dinner and a sleepover from Hei Bao to coax him. Even though Hei Bao felt Wen Qinxi's 'coax who.... he is not my boyfriend' statement was true he couldn't stand Xia Bai being angry with him so he coaxed and coaxed which would be his biggest regret later. *wink *wink.
