Chapter 121 Underground Boyfriend
At this moment, Fu Yansheng walked in.
“Qi Yu, barring any incidents, the acquisition procedures should be completed next Monday. Although we’ll be wearing Blooming Lotus’ shell, we still have to give this technology company a new name…”
“Let Ye Qinru and the others think of one.” As Qi Yu replied. He quietly looked at Fu Yansheng, wondering in his heart whether this man knew that he was investigating him. If he did, then what did he think about it? How could he so calmly continue on with this role-playing game with him?
“Ye Qinru has been as busy as a spinning top these days. He needs to recruit a lot of people. The data algorithms of Blooming Lotus’ platform is too old and the technical department has to build a new team that understands this legacy system.” Fu Yansheng earnestly relayed to him these business matters.
“Has Yu Lian started work with the Technology Development Department?” Qi Yu asked.
“She has. Just as you said, she’s been put in charge of content integration. These past few days, she’s been learning about the brands under the Si Yuan Group.” Fu Yansheng said.
“Okay,” Qi Yu nodded and said, “By the way, I’m going out for a while tonight.”
Fu Yansheng was taken aback. “Where are you going?”
Qi Yu: “Si Ze invited me to a party.”
Fu Yansheng frowned and said, “Didn’t you just go out not long ago? Why is he inviting you out again?”
Before, Qi Yu went to Si Holdings to find Si Ze and Si Ze said he would take him to meet his friends in the circle.
Last time it was to a party held by a friend of Si Ze’s. There hadn’t been anything special about it. It was just a gathering for everyone to drink and brag. Now that Qi Yu had gone to one of these get togethers, he knew where Si Hang’s habits came from.
The only difference was that most of Si Ze’s get-togethers had rich second generation who were about the same age as him. Moreover, most of these people have already inherited part of their parents’ resources, power and wealth.
Due to his wealthy family background and handsome appearance, Qi Yu blended in without any pressure. He became the focus of the party that day. During the past few days, there have even been a lot of people sending him private messages, inviting him out to play.
Yesterday, Si Ze called him and said that Young Master Rong was holding a party to celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday and invited them to attend.
At the last party, Qi Yu had met that Young Master Rong. It was Rong Ke, the prince of Rong Real Estate. He was very cordial. When he saw Qi Yu attending the party by himself, he offered to introduce him to a female companion.
Qi Yu nowadays was no longer the young man with distinct likes and dislikes when he first met Si Hang. Since he took the initiative to ask Si Ze to bring him into the circle, he had a clear understanding of what things he had to compromise on.
He didn’t reject Rong Ke’s kindness and he also promised Si Ze he would go there tonight.
But there was a rule in that sort of gathering of people in the circle that no one could bring anyone but a partner. Last time Qi Yu went alone. This time would be the same.
Qi Yu explained, “My dad wants to shift the focus of the business back to China, and I have to get to know more of the people here.”
Fu Yansheng asked him, “Then who did you meet last time?”
“A lot of people. Rong Ke of Rong Realty, Tang Weiye’s second brother; there was also the son of the president of XX Bank. All of them came from well-known families…” Qi Yu keenly noticed that when he mentioned the “bank president’s son”, Fu Yansheng’s eyes froze behind his glasses.

Fu Yansheng looked a little unhappy. “Why would you even want to be familiar with them?…Although you’re in China now, don’t forget that you have to go back to school for exams at the end of May. There’s a few courses you still haven’t finished.”
Qi Yu: “It’s just a party and it won’t take too much time.”
Fu Yansheng: “If there is a first time, there will be a second time. I’m afraid you’re going to fall into it…”
Qi Yu interrupted him impatiently, “Let it go. I know not to go too far but I have to socialize.”
Fu Yansheng looked at him worriedly. After a few seconds he said, “What time is the party? Where will it be? Do you want me to go with you?”
Qi Yu said while tying his tie, “You’re not my driver. Why so attentive?”
Fu Yansheng’s voice sank, “I’m your boyfriend.”
Qi Yu smiled, and after tying his tie, he walked over to Fu Yansheng and patted him on the shoulder: “Add a prefix—my ‘cannot-see-the-light’ underground boyfriend.”
Fu Yansheng: “…”
Qi Yu: “Okay, I have Wang Meng to drive me. You have your own circle of friends in Haicheng, right? Let’s each party where we want to.”
Seeing that it was almost time, Qi Yu took his phone and started to head out. Unexpectedly, after taking two steps forward, Fu Yansheng grabbed his wrist.
“Qi Yu.” The man called his name, sounding serious.
“…What are you doing?” Qi Yu looked back defiantly. There seemed to be some emotion surging in his eyes.
Fu Yansheng looked at him and slowly let go of his hand… This action made Qi Yu feel even more dejected. He was about to walk away, but Fu Yansheng opened the door ahead of him and said in a low voice, “I’ll take you there.”
Qi Yu said irritably, “I said I’ll have Wang Meng take me!”
Fu Yansheng stood by the door: “Since you hired me, I also have the responsibility to protect you. Else, if something happens to you, how can I explain it to your father?”
Qi Yu: “What can happen? I’m not a child anymore!”
Fu Yansheng: “What about last August?”
Qi Yu: “That time was just an mishap caused by Mei Wei’s tense situation.”
Fu Yansheng frowned again: “A mishap? What’s your identity now? How many mishaps can you afford? Besides, you haven’t even found out who was behind that kidnapping, have you? How are you so sure that had anything to do with Mei Wei?”
Qi Yu was dumbfounded. Indeed, in the beginning, the police only found out that there was an intermediary agency that offered a bounty for kidnapping him. Checking further, they found nothing.
Fu Yansheng looked at him helplessly, as if watching a child throwing a tantrum. He urged, “Aren’t we leaving yet?”
The party was held on the top floor of Tengyun Building, across the river from Fengmao Building, where Fu Yansheng worked before.
Fu Yansheng personally drove him. It was uncertain whether they were both angry, not a single word was exchanged during the drive.
It wasn’t until after they passed Linyuan Apartments, looking at the familiar scene outside the car window, that Qi Yu remembered and asked, “Is the apartment you used to live in empty now?”
Fu Yansheng: “It’s being rented out.”
Qi Yu: “It’s rented out? To whom?”
“A friend…” Fu Yansheng glanced at him, “Why are you asking?”
Qi Yu: “Nothing… Then what will you do in the future?”
Fu Yansheng: “What do you mean ‘in the future’?”
Qi Yu said deliberately, “Didn’t you say that you will be by my side for at most two years? It’s been seven months now. What about later, are you going to go back? Or, are you planning to change your city and place of work again?”
Fu Yansheng’s hand holding the steering wheel froze and he said in a low voice, “I’m focusing on the work at hand first. Future matters are for considering in the future.”
Qi Yu said, as though talking to himself, “You said last time that I might not need you in the future. I thought about it afterwards and yes, no matter how powerful you are, you can’t teach me for a lifetime. Once I learn everything you know, why should I insist on keeping you…”
Fu Yansheng: “…”
Fu Yansheng focused on the road ahead and didn’t answer him again, as if tacitly acknowledging what he’d said.
Qi Yu smiled self-deprecatingly. He turned to look out the window, feeling like a needle had been stabbed into his heart. His heart jumped and his entire body hurt.
Shortly after crossing the bridge across the river, they arrived at Tengyun Building. Qi Yu directed Fu Yansheng to drive to the underground parking lot. There was a VIP parking area on the third floor basement, where there was an elevator that led directly to the top floor.
The car stopped in front of the elevator hall. Qi Yu unfastened the passenger seat seat belt and reached out to open the door, only to find that the door was still locked.
“…The lock.” Qi Yu tilted his head to remind Fu Yansheng.
As a result, when he turned his head, he saw the man’s face coming in close. Caught by surprise, Qi Yu found himself kissed by Fu Yansheng, his hand at the back of his neck.
The warm tongue pressed against Qi Yu’s tightly closed lips, sweeping around his in mouth as though marking him, sucking and refusing to withdraw.
It wasn’t until headlights came over and the low-pitched sound particular to a sports car’s engine drew near, that Qi Yu pushed the man in front of him away, panting as he glared at him.
“Don’t drink too much alcohol, don’t have too close physical contact with others, neither men nor women.” Fu Yansheng warned as he stared at him.
“You…” Qi Yu was annoyed, “What do you care?”
“An underground boyfriend is still a boyfriend. It’s written in the contract that I will be your only emotional partner for these two years. And you’re saying I’m not allowed to care about what you do?” Fu Yansheng raised his hand and wiped Qi Yu’s red lips. He said, voice low, “I will wait here. It’s eight o’clock now, the time limit is four hours. You have until midnight. If you don’t come down, I will go up there and find you myself.”
“—Click.” The car door opened following Fu Yansheng’s words.
Qi Yu’s heart was beating wildly. He was so depressed that he wanted to refute, but the sports car had just driven behind them. The engine sound, now so much louder, reminded him that he had to quickly get out of the car.
Qi Yu gritted his teeth, opened the door and got out.
“Qi Yu?” When the person in the car behind him saw him, he excitedly rolled the window down to greet him, it was Tang Weiye’s second brother, Tang Weichong.
Tang Weichong seemed to have heard his brother talk about Qi Yu. The last time they met, he stared at him ambiguously and teased him, “You’re the Qi Yu who’s got my brother all bewitched?”
When the people present heard him they began to ask questions. They learned that Tang Weichong’s younger brother liked Qi Yu and even used candidly-taken photos of him as his mobile phone screen. They all laughed.
Qi Yu didn’t get angry either. He only said to Tang Weichong, “I’m sorry to your brother but I don’t like him.”
Tang Weichong was just joking and he said magnanimously. “It’s fine. You can’t force emotional matters. If you don’t like him, as his brother, it’s not like I could force you two together.”
Because of this joke, Qi Yu and Tang Weichong unexpectedly felt much closer upon first meeting.
“Wait for me, I’ll park the car and we’ll go up together.” Tang Weichong drove his sports car past Qi Yu.
Qi Yu also took the opportunity to look around. He looked for any sign of Fu Yansheng, only to see that the other party had already circled around and dumped the car into a vacant spot two rows away from the elevator hall.
After parking the car, the man looked up and met Qi Yu’s eyes from across the distance.
The two were surprised and dazed. They then looked away at the same time. Qi Yu turned to face the elevator entrance. After a few seconds, his phone buzzed. Fu Yansheng had sent him a message.
F1S: “You’re staying to watch me park?”
Yu: “Just waiting for someone.”
F1S: “…”
Tang Weichong was accompanied by a beautiful female companion. He walked to the elevator door with his arm around the other’s waist. When he saw Qi Yu, he let go of the girl, put his hand on Qi Yu’s shoulder, and said with a smile, “Gotta admit that my brother wasn’t blind this time. You really are handsome.”
At this moment, Qi Yu suddenly felt two eyes boring at his back as if they were going to shoot right through them.

Fu Yansheng wept bitter tears for himself.
