ACBNHTS Chapter 21

Chapter 21: An Evil White Moonlight, Fought Over and Desired

Sheng Yiguang didn’t go to anyone at the company. He didn’t plan to let them know about his relationship with Pei Du for the time being.

If they knew, they might try to exploit it, making him seek benefits for the company.

Instead of wasting time refusing their requests later, it was better to hide it directly.

Sheng Yiguang called Sheng Tong’s caregiver and asked about Sheng Tong’s condition.

He also handled some work on his phone for a while. Estimating that it was about time, and remembering Pei Du saying he didn’t bring a gift, he went out to buy a bouquet of flowers.

Considering that Pei Du’s hospital room would be visited by either business tycoons or business elites, Sheng Yiguang chose a bouquet with only three roses, holding it as he entered the room.

Zhao Xicai hadn’t left yet.

Sheng Yiguang: “Am I interrupting you?”

“No, you’re just in time. Give me the flowers in your hand, let me introduce you. Zhao Xicai, my college roommate. This is my secretary, surname Wang.”

The three of them exchanged greetings.

Pei Du, holding the flowers, pointed to the meager three roses inside for Zhao Xicai to see.

“Roses.”

Sheng Yiguang was stunned for a moment, then realizing what Pei Du meant, his ears turned a little red.

Pei Du asked Zhao Xicai, “Do you know what the language of roses is?”

“…”

Zhao Xicai was silent.

Pei Du helpfully answered, “Love.”

Pei Du: “Do you know who you send roses to?”

Zhao Xicai: “…”

Pei Du: “A lover.”

Zhao Xicai: “…”

He shouldn’t have stayed to confirm if Sheng Yiguang was really pursuing Pei Du!

He even bet two hundred yuan with Secretary Wang!

Now, the answer was obvious.

Zhao Xicai coldly snorted, “Only three.”

“Yes, but it is, a, rose.”

Zhao Xicai angrily got up, took two steps, but unwilling to give up, turned back to Sheng Yiguang.

“Why are you pursuing him? Does he need you to?”

Zhao Xicai was just venting, not needing Sheng Yiguang to answer, then turned to Pei Du.

“I won’t come again before you’re discharged!”

Secretary Wang took a step, holding the QR code in front of Zhao Xicai.

Clearly reminding him that he lost the bet.

Zhao Xicai gritted his teeth, scanned it, and transferred two hundred yuan.

Secretary Wang smiled, “Mr. Zhao, very generous.”

Zhao Xicai left.

Secretary Wang tactfully withdrew.

Only Pei Du and Sheng Yiguang remained in the ward.

Sheng Yiguang: “Why did you tell him?”

“You don’t want others to know?”

“It’s not that.”

Sheng Yiguang unwrapped the flowers and put them in a vase.

The faint fragrance of roses and lilies filled the ward.

“I was thinking that the people who visit you here are all successful people, so I didn’t dare buy too many roses. If I had known you were going to say that, I would have bought a few more.”

Pei Du’s heart softened, and he contentedly held Sheng Yiguang’s cheeks, kissing him on the lips.

Sheng Yiguang: “However, I don’t want the people at the company to know.”

Sheng Yiguang explained the reason.

Pei Du chuckled, “So thoughtful?”

“Are you happy?”

“Happy, very much to my liking. You know how to pursue someone.”

“Then can you grant me a request?”

“What request?”

“You said before that the Wen family has a good relationship with your family, you should have Wen Heng’s WeChat.” Sheng Yiguang paused, “I want you to delete him.”

Since he was an evil white moonlight, he should do something evil!

Pei Du chuckled, took out his phone, “So you were waiting for me here.”

Sheng Yiguang felt that he misunderstood a bit, and explained.

“I didn’t buy the flowers just for this.”

“I know, you’re jealous. Don’t worry, I have no interest in him. If you don’t like it, I won’t say a word to him in the future.”

Pei Du tapped him on the nose, handing him the phone.

The phone screen was already on Wen Heng’s WeChat.

“Here, delete him.”

Sheng Yiguang deleted his powerful rival without hesitation.

Satisfying.

Considering the power of the plot, Sheng Yiguang said.

“If there’s a situation where you have to add him back, I won’t make things difficult for you, just tell me. Also, I’ll pay back Tong Tong’s medical expenses.”

“There’s no need for the medical expenses. I treated that little brat badly before, I can use this opportunity to please him.”

Sheng Yiguang remembered Sheng Tong and Pei Du’s way of getting along, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Pei Du crossed his arms, teasing, “This little brother, how can you laugh? Who’s fault is this?”

If he had known from the beginning that Sheng Tong was his younger brother, would he have treated him that way?

Sheng Yiguang laughed even harder. After laughing for a while, he stopped and said, “I have to be with him tonight, I can only come see you tomorrow. You need to arrange a few more bodyguards for yourself.”

“I know, don’t worry, it’s being handled.”

Sheng Yiguang wanted to ask if Pei Du was having a hard time in the Pei family, but thought about it and didn’t ask.

Mentioning the Pei family would inevitably involve the betrayal four years ago.

Their relationship had just eased up.

It wasn’t the time to bring it up.

Sheng Yiguang left the hospital and soon saw Pei Du post a moment on WeChat.

No text, just a photo.

Three roses.

His heart sweetened.

Two days later, Pei Du was discharged from the hospital.

Sheng Yiguang originally planned to pick him up, but the company temporarily arranged for him and the marketing department to negotiate advertising design with an advertising company.

Sheng Yiguang told Pei Du on WeChat.

When they arrived at the advertising company, it wasn’t time for the meeting yet, so Sheng Yiguang and his team waited quietly in the conference room.

Since the main product in the project was designed by Sheng Yiguang, he was responsible for the product presentation.

As the meeting start time approached, Sheng Yiguang prepared his materials and planned to go to the restroom.

Someone called out to him, “Do you want to go to the restroom?”

Sheng Yiguang nodded.

That person said, “The ones in the company are broken, I’ll take you to the ones downstairs, we’ve all been using those the past few days.”

“Then thank you.”

“No need to be so polite.”

Sheng Yiguang followed her.

After going downstairs and making several turns, they finally saw the door to the restroom.

Sheng Yiguang walked in.

The door suddenly closed.

The voice outside was aggressive, “You’re the one who caused Xiao Wen to lose the promotion! I’ll get it back for him today! I’ll give you a good beating! Don’t even think about succeeding in this collaboration! Just wait to die!”

Sheng Yiguang looked at the closed door, his eyebrows furrowed.

As expected of the protagonist.

He could run into people seeking justice for him anywhere.

He was responsible for today’s product presentation. If he wasn’t there, the meeting couldn’t proceed.

And if a low-level error like an employee disappearing and missing a meeting led to the failure of the collaboration, it would have a huge impact on the company’s reputation.

To minimize the loss, the company would probably fire him.

The plan wasn’t stupid.

But…

He had a phone.

Sheng Yiguang recalled the route they had taken.

He was here for the first time, unfamiliar with the place.

That person deliberately led him astray.

Even if he could contact his colleagues, he probably wouldn’t make it to the meeting on time.

Sheng Yiguang held his phone.

Since he had already decided to go against them.

Then he wouldn’t be polite.

Sheng Yiguang dialed 110.

“Hello? Is this 110? Yes, I’m reporting a crime. I’m currently locked in a restroom, I don’t know the exact location… From what the other person said, it’s for revenge…”

“Threats, he told me to wait to die…”

“I know the general location, downstairs at Lisheng Advertising Company, not sure which floor… Um, I’m a little scared.”

Sheng Yiguang paused, adding.

“Save me.”
