Chapter 045: Be My Wife
“Teacher Fu?” Qi Yu put his hands in his pockets and looked at the man in front of him with a smile. He said, “What are you doing here?”
——Was Fu Yansheng waiting for him here?
——Could it be that this man finally couldn’t bear it and took the initiative to come to his door?
——Haha, oh how the mighty have fallen!
It was as though Qi Yu had obtained some sort of advantage and a trace of smugness appeared on his face.
“What a coincidence,” Fu Yansheng had an unlit cigarette in his hand. He glanced at him, and stood up and said, “A customer asked me to dinner at this hotel where you’re staying. We just finished. I’m about to leave. I’m just waiting for the taxi.”
Qi Yu was taken aback. He was leaving?
Didn’t Fu Yansheng come to see him?
……Was he tricking him!?
While they were talking, Fu Yansheng’s cell phone actually rang!
The man glanced at him. The caller ID, “taxi driver”, really was displayed on the screen.
While looking at Qi Yu, Fu Yansheng accepted the call and said to the man, “Yes, I am at the Holiday Hotel, 500 meters past Fengchun Road…”
Qi Yu: “……”
Seeing the anger leaking out the young man’s widening eyes, the corner of Fu Yansheng’s lips hooked up and he said into his phone, “I’m sorry, sir. There’s been a change in schedule. I won’t be needing a car for now… I’ll make it up to you and send a red envelope later. Thank you for your hard work.”
Qi Yu: “…………”
Fu Yansheng put away his phone, looked at him and said, “Since I’ve ran into you, I guess I should stay a bit.”
Qi Yu snorted. He tilted his head and said, “Let’s talk upstairs?”
Seeing Fu Yansheng following after him, Qi Yu was slightly relieved. — If this man really had dared to leave just now, he would have thrown the box in his pocket straight into the toilet!
The two entered the room. Qi Yu asked as usual, “Tea? Wine?”
“Let’s have tea. That Laojun Mei last time was not bad, and I didn’t get to drink my fill.” Fu Yansheng said.
In his heart Qi Yu said, ‘Didn’t get to drink your fill? Weren’t you the one who booked it out of here as soon as you applied that ointment? What are you blaming me for?’
Qi Yu called the hotel’s room service and ordered tea. Qi Yu went to the bedroom, quietly removed the gift box from his trousers pocket, took out the content and stuffed it back into his pocket. He left the box on the bedside table in the bedroom.
After coming back out, Qi Yu walked straight to the sofa and sat down facing Fu Yansheng. He was just in time to see that the other party was about to put the unsmoked cigarette back into the cigarette case.
“You’re not going to smoke?” Qi Yu asked.
“I won’t smoke here,” Fu Yansheng lowered his eyes, “I don’t want to expose you to the smoke.”
The lobby downstairs was also a no-smoking area. Qi Yu had guessed that Fu Yansheng had originally been planning to head outside to smoke. Now, he’s followed him up and being considerate towards him, decided to put it back.
Qi Yu looked at him and smiled. “It’s okay, you can smoke.”
Fu Yansheng’s hand paused and Qi Yu said, “My dad also smokes. I don’t dislike the smell.” He glanced at the slender cigarette between Fu Yansheng’s fingers and said, “Your cigarette smells good.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
“If you think it smells good, you might like it too,” Fu Yansheng smiled, and finally gave up the act of putting the cigarette back in. He asked him, “Have you tried it before?”

That was a Gatsby lighter from S.T. Dupont. It had a silver cross pattern and was very eye-catching.
“Are you addicted to smoking?” Qi Yu asked.
“Not so much. Two or three a day at most. Double when it’s been a stressful day. But I also deliberately control this amount.” Fu Yansheng put the lighted cigarette between his lips and took a slow puff. His eyes were still staring at Qi Yu’s hand, “That’s a good lighter.”
Qi Yu put the lighter in his hand. Opening and closing the lid, he played with it for a while. He raised his eyes and asked, “Do you want it? Should I give it to you?”
Fu Yansheng: “Give it to me? Why?”
Qi Yu casually said, “Someone gave it to me but I don’t smoke. It’s useless for me to keep it.”
“Is that so…” Fu Yansheng lowered his eyes and said with a smile, “And here I thought you bought it for me specially.”
“You don’t want it?” Qi Yu snorted softly. Buy it especially for you? In your dreams.
He pretended to put it away. “If you don’t want it then just forget it. I’ll give it to my dad when I go back.”
Fu Yansheng helplessly stretched out his open hand.
Having succeeded in indirectly getting the other to do as he wished, Qi Yu smiled secretly and placed the lighter into the palm of the man’s hand.
“In your heart, you placed me before your dad. If I were to say that I didn’t want it, wouldn’t it seem that I am unable to differentiate good from bad?” Fu Yansheng held the lighter in his hand and rubbed it lightly for a while. He said softly, “Thank you.”
Qi Yu: “……”
Their tea came. Qi Yu got up to open the door. The waiter came in and put the teapot and cups neatly on the coffee table. He said, “Please enjoy.” and stepped out.
Qi Yu sat down once again. Fu Yansheng looked at his profile and asked, “What happened to your ear?”
Qi Yu cockily tilted his head. “How is it? Does it look good?”
Fu Yansheng’s expression was a bit strange. “Why’d you clip a stone on your ear? Isn’t it uncomfortable?”
Qi Yu almost vomited blood. Today, he wore this obsidian stud and it sent the eyes of everyone who saw it twinkling. They either praised him for being trendy or handsome. How did his ear stud suddenly become a “stone” when it came to Teacher Fu?
And how did Fu Yansheng manage to tell it was a clip? Obviously Wu Shuang had asked him if he had his ear pierced…
Qi Yu suddenly became a little curious. If he and Qi Feng separately appeared in front of Fu Yansheng, he wondered if the other party would be able to tell them apart at a glance.
He tilted his head and undid the ear clip. It really was uncomfortable after wearing it for an entire day.
Fu Yansheng stared at his earlobe and gave a “tsk”. “Your face hasn’t even healed yet and now you’ve pinched your ear red. Why do you like tormenting yourself so much?”
Listening to Fu Yansheng’s words, Qi Yu felt dazed at having the “Are you a masochist?” he’d thrown to his brother the day before yesterday, thrown back at him now!
Without even thinking about it, he blurted out his brother’s retort, ”What’s it to you? It’s none of your business.”
Fu Yansheng raised his eyebrows. “You call me a teacher and it’s none of my business?”
Qi Yu let out a “tsk” said. “So what if you’re my teacher? You’re not my wife.”
Fu Yansheng: “…………”
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strangely ambiguous, because after Qi Yu threw out that sentence, Fu Yansheng just stared at him for a long while.
Qi Yu pretended to calmly pour a cup of tea for the other party. He then heard Fu Yansheng ask again, “What are the conditions to be your wife?”
Qi Yu’s hand shook and he almost spilled the tea.
……F*ck.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, thinking what might be the objective behind Fu Yansheng’s question.
—It definitely wasn’t just to tease him, right? Maybe he’s taking this opportunity to sound out his requirements for a partner?
Qi Yu smiled secretly and shook his head and said, “To be my wife? Then you must listen only to me. You mustn’t deceive, betray, or disobey me. No matter what I do, you have to support me, encourage me, and help me. …”
He thought for a while, looked at Fu Yansheng and being deliberately evil, said, “And you have to give birth to my child.”
Fu Yansheng raised his eyebrows. “So many requirements?”
Qi Yu: “Of course. It’s not easy to enter the door of our Qi Family, you know.”
Fu Yansheng held up the tea cup and said, deep in thought, “How can someone get involved in your business if they can’t disobey you? You’re contradicting your own words…” He took a sip of tea and said in a low voice, “I think what you lack is not a wife, but a husband.”
Qi Yu: “…………”
What’s the matter with this man? Qi Yu suspected that if they were really to get together, he’d probably want to commit domestic violence upon Fu Yansheng every single day!!!
“Who did you have an appointment with tonight? We already had plans and you cancelled on me.” Fu Yansheng suddenly changed the subject.
While ruthlessly beating the other up in his mind, Qi Yu said, without any change in his expression, “The head of Mei Wei’s PWC department, Qiu Rusong.”
“Oh? You went to see him?” Fu Yansheng curiously asked, “What kind of person is he?”
Because Fu Yansheng was also included among the investigators who signed the confidentiality agreement, Qi Yu no longer hid these things from him.
He briefly talked about his initial impressions of Qiu Rusong, including the other party’s behavior, letting Fu Yansheng help him analyze.
After hearing that Qiu Rusong had given Qi Yu a gift when he sent him to the door, Fu Yansheng’s eyes behind his lenses suddenly took on a look of scrutiny: “He didn’t give you this lighter you gave me, did he?”
Qi Yu was shocked by the other’s sudden seriousness and he immediately retorted, “Of course not, he gave me a pair of Bvlgari cufflinks and I returned those to him on the spot.”
“Oh…” The lenses flashed, and Fu Yansheng’s eyes returned to their usual calm and gentle look, as though that stare a moment ago was just Qi Yu’s imagination. “It’s fine if you didn’t accept it.”
But once Qi Yu managed to react, Qi Yu felt angry — why did Fu Yansheng question him like that just now? In his eyes, was he the sort of guy who would accept a gift from someone who was trying to curry favor with him!?
Fu Yansheng analyzed and said to him, “Qiu Rusong chose to give you something at the door. This was probably premeditated. If you were photographed accepting it, it would be evidence of bribery.”
Qi Yu sneered, “Teacher Fu, I’ve got this much common sense.”
He knew that Fu Yansheng was only worried about him and that he shouldn’t be so emotional, but he felt like he was holding a bundle of anger in his chest and there was nowhere for him to vent.
He had carefully selected that lighter to give to Fu Yansheng. There wasn’t anyone who gave it to him. Being misunderstood made him feel uncomfortable.
But this was a lie he had said himself so he couldn’t blame the other party for anything.
The two turned to other things. Fu Yansheng seemed to notice that he was unhappy, and so, told him some fun things he had encountered at work. However, because of the unpleasantness just now, Qi Yu always behaved a little unhappy.
Before they knew it two hours had passed. Seeing that it was approaching midnight, Fu Yansheng finally got up and prepared to leave.
Qi Yu slowly got up to see him off. When he reached the door, Fu Yansheng looked back at him again.
The two were more than a meter apart. Qi Yu smiled, neither warm now cold, and teased him, “Why, don’t want to leave?”
Fu Yansheng hesitated for a moment, and suddenly walked towards him.
“What are you doing?” Qi Yu was startled, a bad premonition in his heart.
Fu Yansheng approached him, reached out and grabbed his arm. He then pulled the other into his arms. Before he could even react, Qi Yu was already being embraced.
The alarm bells in his head instantly rang out—Was this dog man finally unable to hold back and wanted to do it? Didn’t he say he wasn’t going to force him!?
Qi Yu certainly wasn’t going to be so obedient and submissive! He stiffened, preparing to resist. But at this moment, he heard Fu Yansheng say in his ear, “Okay, just now it was my fault. I said something wrong…Thank you for the lighter you bought for me. Don’t be angry anymore, ok?”
The man’s voice was deep and gentle, with an entreaty for mercy like a show of weakness. It scratched like a feather in Qi Yu’s heart.
Qi Yu suddenly lost his strength.
Fu Yansheng finished speaking and hugged him for another couple of seconds before releasing him and looking at him. “If you want to get angry, I could stay.”
Qi Yu’s cheeks were hot. He reached out his hand to push the person away a bit. His breathing was unstable as he said, “Who’s angry? Hurry up and leave!”
Fu Yansheng’s hand holding his arm slowly slid down. It slid over his wrist and stroked his palm, scratching the middle of Qi Yu’s palm. He noticed that the opponent’s finger perceptively shrank back. He then completely released him and took two steps back. “I’m leaving now. Go to bed early.”
After the other party closed the door and left, Qi Yu only then realized that his heart was about to jump to his throat!
All the places he had just touched felt burning hot. His hands, his face, his ears, including his brain…
No, he needed to do something to calm down!
Qi Yu paced around the bedroom. He grabbed a square pillow from the bed and tossed it. He clenched his fists, and with a “bang” he sent the soft pillow flying.
——How dare this dog man hug him? What nerve!
He grab another one and struck it again!
— Hugging was one thing but he even dared to breathe into his ear? This was against the rules!
Combo strike!
——And scratching his palm? Why did this person have so many flamboyant tricks?
I’m going to knock you over! Humph!
……
After venting against the pillow for a while, Qi Yu reacted—wait, who told Fu Yansheng that he bought that lighter!!!

【Little Theater】
Qi Yu lights Fu Yansheng’s cigarette.
Fu Yansheng: My wife’s hands are so beautiful.
Qi Yu, presenting a treasure: Would you like me to give it to you?
Fu Yansheng: I don’t want the lighter. I want to touch your hand.
Qi Yu:? ? ?
