MAPF Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Your Scent, Secretly Using His Shower Gel

At this moment, a man and a woman had already noticed He Qin’s displeased expression, only the assistant was still complacent. The next second, they heard He Qin say, “I did tell him to come.”

“When did He Xin become a gossip forum? In the future, don’t spread any rumors about Xie Shiwei,” He Qin said coldly. “The three of you, plus Lin Ying, submit a written self-criticism to my office in half an hour. The two assistants will each have a month’s bonus deducted.”

The assistant’s mouth gaped open, and slowly closed again under He Qin’s icy gaze. He dejectedly replied that he understood. The female employee @Lin Ying in the group chat, despising him for spreading incorrect information.

He Qin surveyed the surroundings: “From now on, Xie Shiwei has free access to He Xin. Anyone who stops him will be obstructing my work.”

Xie Shiwei was stunned.

He had suffered many grievances before, and no one had ever defended him like this. Not only did He Qin stand up for him, but he was also more forceful and took it more seriously than he had imagined.

His heart skipped a beat again for a moment. Xie Shiwei patted it lightly, thinking that it was probably because he was moved.

The gossiping employees nodded like chicks pecking at rice, and the company group chat exploded in an instant.

[President He is actually defending Xie Shiwei so much! It seems Xie Shiwei is really turning over a new leaf.]

[Xie Shiwei is not simple! Before, the only person who could freely enter and exit our company was Bai An, who is President He’s white moonlight!]

[You’re ill-informed. There’s actually another girl who can come and go as she pleases, but she doesn’t come as often as Bai An.]

[Old flame and new love, our President He’s life is becoming quite colorful.]

They chatted on and on, the central idea being: President He now treats Xie Shiwei differently than before, he doesn’t hate him as much as he used to, so they should be opportunistic and treat Xie Shiwei well.

After dealing with his subordinates, He Qin glanced at Xie Shiwei, signaling him to follow. Xie Shiwei followed into the elevator, calmly looking at the three people outside, who didn’t dare to follow.

Once in the office, He Qin asked Xie Shiwei if he was unhappy because of what happened. Xie Shiwei initially nodded, but then shook his head, smiling indifferently, indicating that he was used to it.

He Qin didn’t say anything more, and gave him the information Lin Ying had prepared: “Follow this route the day after tomorrow. Bai An will be joining us for one day at the Black Mountain Orphanage.”

Xie Shiwei looked at it and nodded: “Is there anything else?”

“No.”

“It’s just two pieces of paper, couldn’t you have just sent me the electronic version?” Xie Shiwei said, “I thought it was information about the crystalline material.”

He Qin paused.

He was just finding a reason to have Xie Shiwei come over, because Xie Shiwei hadn’t been there in a long time.

Xie Shiwei was just saying it casually and didn’t expect He Qin to answer. He took the two pieces of paper and prepared to leave, but was stopped again. He Qin handed him the elevator card that he had left there. Xie Shiwei took it with surprise, and his eyes immediately darted to the motorcycle information on the desk.

Picture on the left, text on the right, extremely detailed.

“You really like motorcycles?”

He Qin lied without changing his expression: “Yeah.”

Xie Shiwei regretted, “It’s a pity that a motorcycle can only seat two people, otherwise we could have squeezed into Qiao Mu’s car together. That car is really nice, both handsome and performs well.”

“…No need.”

Xie Shiwei chuckled twice, turned around and waved: “I’ll go first, thanks again for speaking up for me just now.”

.

He Qin instructed Wang Gugu to chat with Xie Shiwei about cars.

Wang Gugu happened to know a bit about cars, from mountain bikes to motorcycles, and from racing cars to supercars, providing He Qin with ample information.

Wang Gugu: [He doesn’t like mountain bikes, he thinks riding is too tiring, but he’s okay with riding them occasionally. He likes motorcycles, especially low-key luxury sports cars, especially Porsche. Don’t you happen to have a Porsche? Drive it!]

Lin Ying, who had just finished writing his self-criticism, received the order and carefully drove He Qin’s Porsche, which he bought last year and had been gathering dust in his apartment, to the company.

When He Qin picked Xie Shiwei up from work in the evening, he replaced the unremarkable Volkswagen with the high-profile Porsche.

Silver-gray streamlined body, the modified tail wing was extraordinary. The sunset in the sky reflected on the car body, dazzling and flamboyant.

He Qin lowered the car window and beckoned to him, his usually neat hair slightly messy, looking a bit wild.

Xie Shiwei looked at the car and then at the person, his eyes widened. Under the gaze of the crowd, he opened the door and got into the car, his vanity extremely satisfied. The moment he settled into the passenger seat, he felt his bones go weak. He excitedly asked He Qin how he changed cars.

“The Volkswagen broke down.”

Xie Shiwei thought to himself, good riddance. He bootlickingly praised He Qin for looking even more handsome than usual driving a Porsche, like a car model walking the runway. Seeing that He Qin was clearly flattered, he boldly rubbed his hands: “President He, I want to drive it too.”

Xie Shiwei had a driver’s license, and the original owner also had one, but since he came here, he had been chauffeured by drivers and He Qin every day, and had no opportunity to drive.

He Qin accelerated and overtook an old car: “Your skills aren’t very good. At the beginning of last month, you crashed into a bridge pier on the cross-sea bridge and almost fell into the sea.”

“…Those are all things of the past. One must look forward.”

He Qin smiled: “Okay, if there’s time, I’ll let you drive.”

.

Xie Shiwei didn’t expect that when He Qin said he’d let him drive when he had time, it meant letting him drive to work the next morning.

He was a little hesitant.

After all, a Porsche was different from the Toyota and Hyundai he used to drive for his boss. He hadn’t carefully studied how to drive such an expensive car yet.

“I’ll teach you, get in the car.” He Qin opened the driver’s seat door.

Xie Shiwei took a deep breath, touched the cool car body, and quickly whispered “I’ll just drive a little, please cooperate,” trusting in He Qin, and got into the car.

He Qin instructed Xie Shiwei to start the car and drive forward. Xie Shiwei completed the movements in one go.

He Qin supported his temples, watching Xie Shiwei shift gears and accelerate according to his instructions, in an exceptionally good mood. He had long discovered that Xie Shiwei listened to him very well, even though he dared to get angry at him recently, he was still very well-behaved most of the time.

The very well-behaved Xie Shiwei safely drove the car to Technology Port, no longer needing He Qin’s guidance. He calmly parked in front of the company, picked up his bag and got out of the car. Before leaving, he touched the car body again and whispered, “Thank you for cooperating.”

He Qin replaced him in the driver’s seat: “I have to work overtime tonight, I’ll have the driver pick you up in the evening.”

“No need, I’ll wait for you.” Xie Shiwei touched the metallic car door, licked his lips, “I want to ride in this one.”

The Bentley his family provided him was also very high-end, but he only loved Porsches.

He Qin nodded in agreement and drove away, a smile of success lifting the corner of his mouth.

.

In the following days, Xie Shiwei drove the Porsche to work every day and rode in the Porsche after work, never mentioning Qiao Mu’s motorcycle again.

This day, Xie Shiwei accompanied Xie Tian’an to dinner. When he returned home, the sky was getting dark, the orange-red sunset ignited the nearby mountain ridge, and everything was shrouded in a layer of orange light.

Butler Wang was pulling a girl with a braided bun, playing by the lake in the distance. He Qin, at the entrance of the villa, saw him first and waved him over.

Xie Shiwei jogged over, surprised: “Is that Xiao Yue!”

“Yes, I’ll send her back tomorrow.” He Qin called out loudly, “Xiao Yue, come and say hello to Shiwei gege.”

Xie Shiwei’s heart fluttered.

Shiwei gege.

This was the second time He Qin had called his name, although it was to Xiao Yue, but his voice was so nice, it made his heart flutter, especially since He Qin was half a year older than him, it was quite something to be called that.

The girl ran over at the sound, her bright yellow skirt fluttering in the wind, wearing white cochlear implants. The hair near her ears was shaved off, and the micro-invasive scars from the implantation were barely visible.

He Qin squatted down, and picked up the girl with one arm: “Xiao Yue, this is Shiwei gege.”

Xiao Yue smiled shyly, and opened her arms to Xie Shiwei: “Gege, good evening, hug!”

Xie Shiwei took her from He Qin’s arms, smiling and asked: “Xiao Yue, you can hear clearly now, are you happy?”

Xiao Yue nodded vigorously: “Happy! Because I haven’t heard sounds in a long time! But, I’m also unhappy.”

“What’s wrong?” Xie Shiwei gently pinched Xiao Yue’s cheek.

Xiao Yue wrinkled her nose: “Xiao Qin gege said that you were seriously injured to save me, and it took a long time to heal. I’m sorry gege, I won’t be greedy for fun anymore.”

Xie Shiwei’s heart melted into a puddle of water. He told Xiao Yue that he was fine, don’t listen to He Qin’s nonsense, and to pay attention to safety when playing in the future.

Xiao Yue wrapped her arms around Xie Shiwei’s neck, burying her face: “Gege is so nice.”

Xie Shiwei continued to melt into a puddle of water, stroking Xiao Yue’s fluffy head: “Xiao Yue, would you like to stay at my house tonight? We’ll send you back to the orphanage tomorrow.”

“Yes! I like Shiwei gege’s house, this house is big and beautiful.” Xiao Yue nodded, “Shiwei gege, you are also very beautiful.”

Xie Shiwei smiled, revealing eight teeth, rarely showing a bit of mischief: “Xiao Yue, let me ask you, who is better looking, me or your Xiao Qin gege?”

He Qin disliked his childishness: “Don’t try to stir up trouble.”

Xiao Yue didn’t understand advanced idioms. Her little head looked at this one and then that one, and sweetly said: “Shiwei gege is beautiful, Xiao Qin gege is handsome. You are both good-looking.”

Xie Shiwei laughed loudly, and pinched the child’s face again: “Xiao Yue can talk so well, you should talk more in the future.”

Butler Wang looked at this scene in the distance, and was about to burst into tears again. Such a well-matched three people, such a warm picture! It seemed the young master was getting closer and closer to the happiness he had always wanted, and Mr. He was not as annoying as before.

Butler Wang secretly took out his phone and took a group photo of the three of them, wiped the corner of his eyes, and went to take Xiao Yue to dinner.

Xie Shiwei went upstairs to wash up, He Qin went upstairs to get something, and returned to the room with him. Xie Shiwei suddenly remembered something and asked, “Xiao Yue also calls you Xiao Qin gege?”

“Yes.”

Xie Shiwei said “Oh.”

He thought that this cheesy title was exclusive to the protagonist shou, Bai An.

He Qin added another sentence: “I was the oldest in the orphanage. The children used to call me that, except for Wang Gugu, she thought it was disgusting.”

“Oh.” Xie Shiwei blinked, hugged his pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and found that there was much less shower gel in the glass bottle again. After washing, he came out, wiping his hair, and asked He Qin if he was secretly using his shower gel despite what he said.

“What do you think?”

Xie Shiwei directly leaned close to He Qin’s neck to smell his scent, his nose accidentally touching He Qin’s skin, a drop of hair fell on He Qin’s collarbone. After smelling, he was certain: “You used it.”

Two spots on He Qin’s skin became hot, and he admitted it.

Xie Shiwei scoffed: “Then you pretended not to like it before. There’s no shame in liking the rose scent.”

“I really don’t like it.” He Qin said, “I just wanted to try the scent you like.”

Xie Shiwei was stunned.

These words contained a hint of ambiguity.

But considering that the speaker was He Qin, it could probably only be explained by President He being busy with ten thousand things a day and having unique quirks.

Liking to smell other people’s scents, a celibate CEO who is like a dog, or a bit of a pervert.
