New Year Bonus Update
The Xue Family house was located in a quiet villa area in the city. Naturally, the housing prices here were very expensive. The car drove through a boulevard covered with bright yellow maple leaves and then circled around it. The winding path in the deep woods finally ended at a magnificent Chinese-style courtyard.
Butler Zhang, who had arrived early, was already waiting outside the gate. When he saw the car slowly stopping, he stepped forward to open the door for Zu Qi, nodded and whispered, “The old lady is already waiting inside.”
Zu Qi asked: “Where is Xue Jue?”
“Sir, he left the resort early in the morning to go to the company to handle official business.” Butler Zhang put his hands together and said calmly, “Your room is ready. Let me take you in first to put down your things.”
Zu Qi nodded and followed Butler Zhang inside, while Xiaoya and the other maids followed slowly, dragging their suitcases.
The inside of Xue’s house looked more majestic than the outside. Various rare and expensive trees complemented each other in the front courtyard, there were small bridges and flowing water, and winding paths led to secluded places. It felt like he had arrived at the beautiful Grand View Garden, and the air was filled with the pleasant smell of wealth.
After walking for about twenty minutes, you could see an ancient building. Weng Yuxiang stood outside the door and looked up eagerly. When she saw Butler Zhang leading Zu Qi, her face suddenly burst into smiles and she rushed to greet him.
“Are you tired after walking for so long?”
“Not tired.” Zu Qi smiled and shook his head.
“Let’s talk about it upstairs.” After Weng Yuxiang finished speaking, she ordered Butler Zhang, Xiaoya and others behind him, “Brother Zhang, go to the kitchen and keep an eye on it. Don’t let them cook something too heavy. Xiaoya, you guys carry the luggage and come up with us.”
Everyone’s apartments were on the second floor, and Xue Jue’s bedroom was located at the innermost place, next to Xue Jue’s private study. Since Xue Jue moved out due to the dispute between Zu Qi and his family, the two rooms had always been empty.
However, under Weng Yuxiang’s arrangement, servants would come in to clean the rooms every day. Even though no one had lived in it for more than half a year, it still remained spotless.
For more than half a year since Xue Jue left home, the mother and son frequently encouraged Xue Yanjing to free up Xue Jue’s bedroom and study room for Xue Hao. Xue Yanjing, who had always been soft-spoken in front of the mother and son, repeatedly ordered the servants to clean up Xue Jue’s stuff.
Weng Yuxiang naturally refused and made trouble with Xue Yanjing in front of the mother and son. Unfortunately, it was of no use. Xue Yanjing didn’t care what his wife thought.
It wasn’t until Xue Jue, who learned the news, came forward to put pressure in person that the mother and son became as quiet as chickens for an instant. Xue Yanjing was also a little afraid of his son and never mentioned this incident again.
Thinking of these bad things, Weng Yuxiang’s eyes couldn’t help but dim, but she quickly put these negative emotions behind her and opened the bedroom door with the key.
“You and Xiao Jue will continue to live here from now on. The room on the right is Xiao Jue’s study. You can come in and out at will.”
After that, Weng Yuxiang told Zu Qi about the current members of the Xue family.
In addition to her and Xue Jue’s father, Xue Yanjing, there was also a mother and son named Sun Fei and Xue Hao who also lived here. They were Xue Yanjing’s lover and illegitimate son.
After Xue Jue left home more than half a year ago, Xue Yanjing openly brought his lover and illegitimate child home. Weng Yuxiang, who had been unaware of this for more than thirty years, almost fainted.
It was a pity that Weng Yuxiang was naturally weak-tempered and didn’t even dare to tell Xue Jue about it. It wasn’t until three months ago that Xue Jue got to know that Xue Yanjing had brought home an illegitimate child five years younger than him.
At that time, someone almost died at home. Xue Hao was beaten by Xue Jue and was hospitalized for a whole month.
Later, Xue Yanjing asked the elders of the Xue family to mediate and put pressure in person. In addition, the Xue family had not yet fully turned to Xue Jue as the decision-maker. Weng Yuxiang did not want to see Xue Jue in trouble, so she swallowed hard and accepted the existence of Sun Fei and Xue Hao.
It could only be said that every family had its own secrets that were difficult to hide.
Weng Yuxiang didn’t say anything so specific. She only told Zu Qi not to step into the territory of the mother and son, otherwise it would be trivial to just have a dispute. The key was not to make the family too chaotic.
Zu Qi nodded and said okay.
Hearing this, Weng Yuxiang couldn’t help but smile with relief. She also couldn’t help but breath a sigh of relief when she saw that Zu Qi didn’t look strangely after hearing of the Xue family’s strange family structure.
“You should rest first. I’ll go downstairs and take a look.” After saying this, Weng Yuxiang warned Xiaoya and others again before turning and leaving the room.
Obviously Xiaoya and the others had worked here before and were no strangers to Xue Jue’s bedroom. They arranged Zu Qi’s things neatly in various locations in a few moments.
Zu Qi, who was bored, wandered around in the huge room. After a while, he suddenly remembered a very important thing – there seemed to be only one big bed in this bedroom. Didn’t that mean that he and Xue Jue were going to sleep in the same bed at night every day?
No no no!
He refused!
Zu Qi had millions of reluctances in his heart and immediately decided to discuss the matter with Xue Jue.
He picked up his cell phone and was about to call Xue Jue when he suddenly heard Xiaoya and others who were packing their clothes shout: “Sir, you are back.”
Turning around, he saw Xue Jue in a dark blue suit. Walking from the door, his brows were slightly furrowed as usual, and there was a hint of tiredness in his eyes.
Xue Jue nodded to Xiaoya and others, and then ordered: “You go and do other things.”
Xiaoya and others responded, and then the few girls put down their things and ran out of the room. While leaving, they didn’t forget to close the door.
Xue Jue walked up to Zu Qi with a calm expression and happened to catch a glimpse of his name displayed on the interface of Zu Qi’s mobile phone. He couldn’t help but pause, and then took off his coat and asked, “Are you looking for me?”
Zu Qi looked on helplessly as Xue Jue took off his suit jacket and white shirt in front of him, and his upper body was bare, revealing white and healthy skin, with clear abdominal muscles.
The so-called when dressed looking thin and muscled after taking off your clothes, wasn’t it talking about people like Xue Jue?
Zu Qi lowered his head and glanced at his bulging belly, feeling instantly sad.
It was really irritating for people to compare themselves.
Hey…
Xue Jue looked at Zu Qi’s constantly changing expressions and suddenly felt a little funny. How could he not see Zu Qi’s little thoughts of envy, jealousy and hatred?
After taking out a set of casual clothes from the closet and putting it on, Xue Jue repeated the question: “Do you have anything to ask me about?”
Zu Qi, who was deeply hit, remembered something more important. He suddenly became energetic and pointed at the soft big bed with a width of three meters next to the two people asked: “There is only one bed like this in the bedroom.”
Xue Jue took out another pair of pants from the closet and said calmly after hearing this: “No one would put two beds in the bedroom.”
“Then what should we do when we sleep in the future?” Seeing Xue Jue’s calm look, Zu Qi scratched his hair slightly angrily, “Are we sleeping on the same bed?”
Xue Jue took off his suit pants. But he still didn’t unzip his pants. He said disapprovingly: “What’s wrong with us two grown men sleeping on the same bed?”
Zu Qi stared at Xue Jue with his eyes faintly and said: “Did you forgot that something happened when we two grown men were lied on the same bed eight months ago?”
“…” Xue Jue was speechless.
The two stared at each other for a long time. Zu Qi wanted to suggest that Xue Jue go to sleep in the study, but before he could speak, Xue Jue seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.
“No!” Xue Jue decisively refused before Zu Qi could say anything, “We just moved back today, and every move we make is being watched by others.”
So all the words Zu Qi didn’t say were stuck in his throat, and it took him a long time to swallow them silently. He glared at Xue Jue angrily, and then a sly smile suddenly appeared on his face as he thought of something.
“Since you said so, let’s sleep together.” Zu Qi leaned against the wall, crossed his arms and looked at Xue Jue with a half-smile.
Xue Jue guessed that Zu Qi was brewing another bad idea, and his expression immediately became wary. He nodded and said, “Just think about it. Now go out. My mother is waiting for you downstairs.”
Zu Qi had no intention of leaving: “We’ll go down together after you finish changing your pants.”
Xue Jue frowned: “You can go out first, you don’t have to wait for me.”
“Do you think I want to wait for you?” Zu Qi bent his eyes and said with a smile, “I just want to see you change your pants. Don’t be shy. Take them off quickly and let me take a closer look.”
Halfway through his words, Zu Qi shamelessly reached out to pull off Xue Jue’s pants.
Like a good woman being teased, Xue Jue swatted Zu Qi’s hand away in a panic, and then withdrew two meters away in a few steps.
In just a moment, Xue Jue’s originally handsome and cold face had already turned red like a monkey’s butt. He clutched his pants in shame and annoyance, raised his eyes to look at Zu Qi, who was still smiling playfully, and was so angry that he couldn’t even speak.
“You, you are too shameless!”
“If I wasn’t shameless, how could I hug your thigh?” Zu Qi tried his best to hold back the desire to laugh wildly and tried his best to show his sincerity, “How about I change it for you? How about your pants? You haven’t changed them for a long time.”
Even Zu Qi felt that he looked very much like Grandma Wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood.
The flush on Xue Jue’s face seemed to solidify and fall away. Then he looked at Zu Qi who was slowly approaching him with a horrified expression. Finally, he couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted sternly: “Stop!”
Zu Qi, who had been fearless just now, suddenly became frightened. Frightened by Xue Jue’s gloomy tone, his body froze almost out of reflex.
The air suddenly became silent.
The blush spreading on Xue Jue’s face also dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than five seconds, Xue Jue returned to his original indifferent demeanor.
He said to Zu Qi without raising his head: “Get out.”
Now Zu Qi realized that Xue Jue was really angry and did not dare to stay any longer. He disappeared as if the soles of his feet were greased, and he was so flexible as he disappeared. How could a frightened rabbit still have the cumbersome feeling of needing help everywhere?
Xue Jue: “…”
If he were Zu Qi’s manager, he would have already praised Zu Qi, a drama star, as the best actor!
A waste of talent.
It was lunch time when Zu Qi came downstairs. Weng Yuxiang had asked the cooks at home to prepare a table full of delicacies. The aroma of food wafting from the dining room could be smelled from a distance.
Zu Qi was pulled by Weng Yuxiang to sit down at the dining table. After a while, Xue Jue, who had changed his clothes, also came down from upstairs. His expression was still very bad, and he didn’t even bother to pretend in front of Weng Yuxiang. He came over with a straight face, said nothing and went to sit on the other side of Zu Qi.
Weng Yuxiang didn’t notice anything strange about Xue Jue, and turned to ask Butler Zhang: “Isn’t Lao Xue back yet?”
“On the way.” Butler Zhang said, “Should be here soon.”
Weng Yuxiang responded and had nothing more to say.
Just after a few seconds of silence, the crisp sound of high heels on the floor suddenly sounded coming from far to near, accompanied by a melodious and charming female voice: “Sister Yuxiang, I’m at home, but you didn’t even call me when you were eating.”
Weng Yuxiang, who was smiling just a second ago, the smile on her face suddenly froze after hearing this voice.
