MAPF Chapter 15

Chapter 15 flag “I don’t mind if you have an affair during our marriage”…

Wow, how come this sounds so much like He Qin’s voice?

Xie Shiwei turned his head and looked, and instantly sobered up from the alcohol. His legs almost gave way, and he knelt down on the spot.

It really was He Qin.

Standing behind him with a cold face, like a ghost.

Mike had only heard of Xie Shiwei’s nominal newlywed husband, He Qin, but had never seen him. He mistakenly thought this man was a competitor in the same industry and said with a green tea tone: “I give Mr. Xie a massage, naturally according to Mr. Xie’s request.”

After saying that, he leaned closer to Xie Shiwei’s side and smiled ambiguously: “Mr. Xie, if you want, let alone using my pectoral muscles to massage you, I’m willing to use other parts of my body too.”

Xie Shiwei’s face flushed red. He pushed Mike away and grabbed He Qin’s arm, turning around to leave: “No massage, no massage! I have something to do today, so I’ll take my leave.”

The duck he had in his sights was about to fly away. Mike rushed forward and grabbed He Qin’s other sleeve, scolding, “Hey, which club are you from? Stealing my business on my turf. I’ll make you look good later!”

He Qin’s face was so cold and hard that it looked like he could kill someone. He pulled his arm away.

Xie Shiwei was anxious and quickly asked another waiter to take the out-of-control Mike away. “Say less!”

Mike was sandwiched away by the two people, struggling and shouting, “Mr. Xie, remember to add me on WeChat! Come again next time and I’ll give you another massage!”

·

He Qin drove fast, in an ordinary black Volkswagen, the car body was black, and the interior was also black.

He drove steadily, but Xie Shiwei in the passenger seat felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The car had already driven away from the Banyan Bay, and He Qin remained silent.

Xie Shiwei couldn’t stand the heavy silence and said softly, “You came to play too?”

He Qin ridiculed, “What do you think?”

Xie Shiwei: “…Haha, I suppose not.”

He Qin sneered again, “Aunt Chen couldn’t contact you, so she asked me to pick you up and take you home. Xie Shiwei, it’s fine if you come out to indulge in pleasure, but at least don’t make your parents worry.”

Xie Shiwei quickly kowtowed in his heart and plugged in his phone, which had run out of battery: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I promise to correct it in the future. I’ll let them know I’m safe now. But how did you know I was here?”

He Qin sneered again: “You bound your location sharing to me yourself. As long as I open the software, I can see your location information. You’ve forgotten thoroughly enough.”

Xie Shiwei silently went to cancel the binding.

The car fell silent again.

More than ten minutes passed. Seeing that He Qin’s expression was a little better, Xie Shiwei hesitated again and again, and nervously brought up the matter at noon: “That, I heard Zhang Yingjun said that I disturbed your meal with the investors today. I’m sorry, I drank too much and couldn’t control myself.”

“It’s okay,” He Qin said, “Thank you.”

The traffic light turned red, He Qin stepped on the brakes, and Xie Shiwei’s heart trembled: “You’re thanking me?”

He Qin: “You ruined the cooperation for me, so of course I have to thank you.”

Xie Shiwei thought to himself that he was finished.

He felt cold all over, feeling that he was about to be assassinated by He Qin and his body dumped on an overpass.

“I-I-I’m sorry! I’ll compensate you for all the money you lost!”

He Qin chuckled and said, “Chen Desheng was throwing astronomical figures at me, saying that his time was tight and asked me to finalize the deal as soon as possible. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. I don’t believe he’s so kind. This meal was just a delaying tactic.”

“The assistant promptly found out his real identity and also tracked down the source of his investment funds. It’s all black money from high-interest loans and brothels.”

“I originally thought that canceling the cooperation directly would be too heartless and might make enemies. You happened to run over and make a scene, making him quite angry. He left before finishing the meal, and before he left, he blurted out a lot of things.”

Xie Shiwei understood: “So you weren’t sincere when you scolded me at the time. You were playing along, letting Zhang Yingjun and I play the red face, and you play the white face?”

“Yes.”

Xie Shiwei breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed. It seemed that he neither caused He Qin any losses, nor did he harm He Qin, and he also solved the big tumor of Chen Guangtou.

Nice!

The car drove into the garage, He Qin turned off the engine, and suddenly said, “Don’t pretend to be drunk next time, it’s very stupid.”

Xie Shiwei’s movement of unbuckling his seat belt paused: “How did you know I was pretending?”

He Qin glanced at him coolly: “I saw you giving that idiot a V sign.”

“That idiot?” Xie Shiwei didn’t react.

“Zhang Yingjun.”

“Oh…”

He Qin gave him a meaningful look: “Xie Shiwei, although you weren’t subjectively considering me, you did solve a problem for me. I owe you a favor.”

Xie Shiwei was startled again. He didn’t expect He Qin to see through this as well, and said awkwardly: “Since it was a coincidence that I helped you, you don’t need to owe me a favor, it’s too formal.”

“I said I owe you, and I’ll owe you. It’s formal if you don’t accept it,” He Qin said lightly, “And you don’t have to worry, I have a bottom line. I don’t have any intention of dealing with the Xie family at the moment.”

Xie Shiwei felt that He Qin was mocking him again for having no bottom line, and when he was silently slandering, a bouquet of flowers was stuffed into his arms.

“The roses Mike gave you, don’t leave them in my car.”

He Qin left.

Xie Shiwei came back to his senses, got out of the car holding the flowers, and chased after him: “Hey, He Qin, wait for me!”

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he actually felt that He Qin had slowed down, as if he was really waiting for him to catch up.

There was still a distance from the garage to the entrance garden. Xie Shiwei chased after him and walked along the pebble path side by side with He Qin.

The night was just right, the moon peeked out from the branches of the trees, following their shadows forward.

He Qin spoke first: “You’ve lost your memory, but your taste has been consistent from beginning to end.”

Xie Shiwei’s chin was tucked into his scarf: “Huh?”

“Do you like muscular men that much?”

Xie Shiwei’s old face turned red. He really liked them to death, but he weakly explained, “Mike and I are innocent. Although our marriage is in name only, I will never have an affair during our marriage. He took the initiative to pester me today, and I was a little drunk, so that’s how it happened.”

He Qin: “I don’t mind if you have an affair during our marriage. Also, I hope you can find your true love as soon as possible and let me go completely. This is good for both of us.”

Xie Shiwei grinned.

He Qin didn’t care, so could he hook up with handsome guys at any time?

Life is really full of hope.

Happy as he was, he still tried his best to maintain the persona of “loving but letting go” on his face: “He Qin, you’re so good, but I still need some time to let you go completely. It’s not that fast, haha.”

“By the way, Mike offended you today, right? Don’t mind it. I don’t know how he knew… knew that I liked your muscles, and even compared himself to you.” Xie Shiwei said with shame.

He Qin sent Xie Shiwei a link.

Xie Shiwei said strangely, “What is this?”

“The harassment letter you read on the radio in high school, often mentioning your preferences, muscles, etc. You can still find the audio online, so it’s no wonder those people can cater to your preferences.”

Xie Shiwei didn’t dare to listen at all.

To prove his innocence, he directly threw the flowers into the trash can.

“Xie Shiwei,” He Qin’s eyes were sharp under the moonlight, “You’ve forgotten too many things. You’ve been taking medicine for so long, hasn’t it improved?”

“No, maybe I’ll forget everything completely.” Xie Shiwei lied calmly, paving the way for himself, and decided to pull Zhang Yingjun to tutor him on the past every day from now on.

·

Back home, Wang, the housekeeper, greeted him enthusiastically: “Young Master, you’re back! The vegetables you wanted have been bought, and you can go to the kitchen to start working!” He turned to He Qin and smiled falsely: “Mr. He, the young master has condescended to prepare dinner for you today. Please wait a moment.”

He Qin raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Shiwei: “What do you mean?”

“The literal meaning.” Xie Shiwei curved his eyes, “At most half an hour, I guarantee you’ll eat your favorite home-cooked dishes.”

He pressed He Qin to sit on the sofa, quickly walked into the kitchen, and rolled up his sleeves to prepare the dishes.

Xie Shiwei was going to formally apologize to He Qin for what he had done in the past.

Although those things were not done by him, since he had become Xie Shiwei here, to change his fate, he had to make amends and apologize for the original owner.

Considering that He Qin had no material desires, with their current relationship, preparing a meal of his favorite food for He Qin personally was the most sincere way to apologize.

He Qin was flipping through magazines in the living room when he received a call from his mother, Wang Huiling, and walked to the balcony to answer it.

“Son, are you used to living in the Xie family these days? Have you been wronged? Have the servants in their family given you attitude?”

“No, don’t worry, I’m fine.”

“That’s good, that’s good,” Wang Huiling said sadly, “Xiao Qin, I can’t eat or sleep well on the days you’re not at home. Mom and Dad are very guilty of making you make such a big sacrifice for the company.”

“Mom, don’t say that. If you and Dad hadn’t taken me away, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I should share the burden for the family.”

“I’m relieved that you have this intention. I heard your dad say that you’re researching alternative materials. If you encounter any difficulties, tell your dad at any time and let him find someone to help. We can research it as soon as possible, so that we can break away from the Xie family as soon as possible. At that time, you don’t have to live under someone else’s roof anymore, and you can be with the person you truly love sooner.”

He Qin smiled: “Mom, where do I have someone I like?”

“Oh, tell Mom the truth, that child Bai An, don’t you really like him?”

“Bai An saved my life before. I treat him like my own brother. I told you.”

“Okay, okay, Mom is old and can’t figure out your mind. In any case, marriage is still best kept in your own hands.”

Before hanging up the phone, Wang Huiling suddenly said, “By the way, Xiao Qin, Shiwei suddenly sent me a WeChat message today, asking me what dishes you like to eat. I told him. I can’t figure out what that child means, so I’ll let you know in advance.”

He Qin said okay and hung up the phone.

The balcony faced the kitchen. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could just see Xie Shiwei’s busy back.

His nominal other half was wearing a white turtleneck cashmere sweater and a black apron. The slightly longer ends of his hair were slightly upturned by the sweater collar. When he bent down to cut vegetables, his waistline was in full view.

He didn’t cut the vegetables quickly. He was probably dissatisfied with his knife skills, and stopped every now and then in frustration.

The chef next to him occasionally stepped forward to demonstrate. Xie Shiwei watched carefully, nodded, and then followed the chef’s guidance to cut again.

·

In the kitchen, Xie Shiwei had a serious expression and fought with the kitchen knife in his hand.

Children from poor families take charge early. Cooking and cutting vegetables were not difficult for him at all, but he was used to using a dull knife that was sharpened once every half a month. This Swiss kitchen knife was terrifyingly sharp and extremely difficult to control. If he was not careful, he would chop the vegetables in his hand.

He finally had only the last piece of wax gourd left. Xie Shiwei carefully aimed at the position and cut down, but the wax gourd slipped on the smooth cutting board. His movements didn’t stop, and the blade slid down against the index finger of his left hand, and blood instantly oozed out.

Xie Shiwei shouted in pain, almost uttering a curse. He threw the kitchen knife into the sink, making a few crisp thuds.

The chef exclaimed, “I’ll go get the first aid kit for you, please wait!”

Xie Shiwei nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with tears.

“No need to find it.”

Xie Shiwei looked up in surprise.

He Qin strode over with the first aid kit, the hem of his suit fluttering in the air.
