Even until Death, the Scum Gong thought I was a White LotusCh23 - His darling

Bo Qin could clearly sense something wrong with Xie Mu.

These days, since the youth had slowly recovered his health, he had been itching to return to the company. PuvrD6

The man knew that he wanted to help him, even more so to keep him company day and night. However, he knew that if Xie Mu really wanted to go back to work, the lies were highly unlikely to remain hidden.

His Xiao Mu was not a caged bird, but a sky-bound eagle; as long as he had a chance to fly, he would soar up and away into the heavens.

Bo Qin had always kept his countenance and barricaded Xie Mu in. The youth was blind to it, naively believing that his lover only did so out of concern for his well-being.

He sweetly accepted the care of his lover, while continuing to work on quickly gaining his strength to help Bo Qin. R7z4EL

But after yesterday’s conversation, although the youth still went to the garden to exercise and feed fish, he no longer mentioned recuperating and returning to work.

He willingly allowed himself to become a little bird chained to the palm of his master’s hand. The bird clearly had a pleasant singing voice; however, it only sang freely for its owner, readily hiding in the gilded cage Bo Qin had built, no longer entertaining any fantasies of popping its head out.

The man knew why, of course.

Xie Mu was scared that he would no longer want him. Obviously, he wasn’t the one who did something wrong, but he still cautiously tried to ingratiate himself. His fear of Bo Qin’s disdain was deeply entrenched.

Bo Qin should soothe his worries, embrace the youth, and convince him that he didn’t mind. It really wasn’t Xie Mu’s fault. His Xiao Mu shouldn’t be trembling in fear, gingerly trying to curry favor with him.

But the man hesitated.

Only after losing him did he realize Xie Mu’s importance. After he brought back the youth, for a while, he frantically wanted to imprison him at home; only after clearing his thoughts did he realize the impossibility.

Xiao Mu detested him; based just on that, it was enough for Bo Qin to dispel that disturbing idea. d6Yny5

Now, however, Xiao Mu would definitely not leave by himself and willingly burrowed himself into his cage.

From here on out, he would be the sole person Xie Mu saw and talked to if his calculations were not wrong. And of course, his heart and eyes would hold only Bo Qin’s shadow.

This sort of temptation was like a smear of honey on the side of a cliff. Even though he knew it was dangerous and that he shouldn’t, it was as if he were spellbound. He could not stop himself from putting the honey in his mouth, bottling it up in his heart.

The man thought that this situation also wasn’t bad; it was Xiao Mu himself who didn’t want to interact with outsiders. He was only going along with his wishes as his lover. 6ZK17S

The feelings of the two continued to heat up, with the youth dependent on Bo Qin and dutifully not causing trouble for him. He was like a kitty; when the man needed him, he would snuggle up close to him, allowing him to pet him as he liked. And when Bo Qin was busy, he would obediently go and play off to the side by himself.

And, Bo Qin, he really did become busy, altogether lacking any time to contemplate things like that. S9wGYZ

Tan Tao came to power.

To outsiders, it seemed as if Tan lao ye zi called his son back to hand over their family empire.

Only Bo Qin knew that Tan Tao had gone straight to the point, killing his little brother and exchanging the life of Tan lao ye zi‘s pregnant mistress for the entirety of the Tan family.

He acted out in the open. xL4G2w

The younger brother, who would now never be able to rise to the stage, committed a crime that allowed Tan Tao to bring him to prison. Inside were all sorts of people, so wasn’t fighting pretty normal?

In the end, having a son die in prison was scornful, and Tan lao ye zi didn’t want to make a great mess of the matter.

Tan Tao was different from Bo Qin, who liked to calculate against others secretly, gradually letting his opponents trap themselves. Tan Tao’s method was much more simple and direct. He excelled at holding onto the weaknesses of human nature and dividing and conquering.

If he grabbed onto a chance, he would crawl up by any means necessary. IdRkHm

Tan Tao, who had climbed up, continued to go against the Bo family, the two families fighting it out to the bitter end.

Bo Qin had an entire clan he was responsible for, so when doing things, it was inevitable that he had some qualms about certain issues. His former childhood friend, on the other hand, was completely unhindered by that obstacle. He employed strategies that would hurt his enemy 1000, but also cost himself 800.

The two families fought more and more fiercely. Bo Qin was certain that he could crush Tan Tao to the ground, but by doing so, he risked losing most of his own power.

As the commotion grew, outside gossip spread like wildfire. Everyone tried to guess the reason behind the two, once thick as thieves, brothers turning on each other, especially Tan Tao, who seemed to itch to bite off a piece of Bo Qin’s flesh. x snrR

And Xie Mu, who was pivotal in the accident, was still living in the peach garden Bo Qin had constructed for him. He used a censored phone, remaining unaware of the foul winds and bloodshed outside.

Of course, this was only a facade.

[A small company under Bo Qin fell. Tan Tao did it.]

[Bo Qin’s property in the entertainment industry was hit. Two film empresses and a film emperor under them have already jumped ship. Before leaving, they caused a lot of gossip; there’s talk inside and out saying that the Bo family mistreats their artists. Their fans are already ripping them to shreds.] 6fkrtx

[Ze ze ze, Tan Tao bought over a person to act as an insider. These celebrities have the largest fan bases. On the internet, more and more bad press about the Bo family is circulating. He deserves it!]

Hearing the system live broadcasting and taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, Xie Mu lowered his eyes to look at the red carp in the lake. He leisurely scattered in fish feed, [What’re you so happy for? All the money he threw away won’t come to our pockets.]

System: […that’s true.]

Within not even three seconds, he popped up again, [Not good host! The someone in the Bo family has discovered you, and right now, people are forcing Bo Qin to give you up.] 9IaEqz

The hand tossing in the fish feed paused, and the corner of the youth’s lips quirked slightly into a smile.

[Host, what’re you laughing at? This is bad, ah!]

Chrysanthemum Garden.

[Tong.] Xie Mu stood up, scattering the rest of the fish feed in one toss, watching as fish in the lake fought over it. He patted the nonexistent dust on his body and slowly walked towards the entrance of the yard.

[It’s time for you to grow up.] Z3yH s

[?]

[Be good. Don’t move, just watch, and don’t ask.]

“What I’m doing, when has it become something that you guys can dictate?” The man’s tone of voice was horribly malicious and mocking, “I alone decide what goes on in the Bo family. Keep hemming and hawing, and you can get out of the Bo family.”

He hung up the phone darkly, and before the cruelty in his eyes could recede, he was met with the youth’s visage as he walked over. lKVoyd

The hand holding the cell phone stilled, and a gentle smile showed on Bo Qin’s face, “Xiao Mu, you were waiting for me?”

“En,” the youth hesitated before nodding his head. He explained in that pleasant-sounding voice of his, “I heard a car and thought you were back, so I came to take a look.”

The man’s smile widened, his eyes full of softness. He petted the hair of his lover, “Come, let’s go back together.”

“The company…are there things going on?” Cwfr0X

The youth timidly asked, sneaking a peek at his lover’s expression the next second. He spoke in a small voice, “I heard what you said on the phone…”

“It’s nothing, just my cousin making a fuss out of nothing. You know that group of people; they don’t have any other capabilities, but their ability to get into trouble is one stronger than the next.”

Bo Qin’s expression remained constant, naturally letting it go with just one sentence.

Xie Mu had always listened to him, so upon hearing his explanation, he took it as truth and went to prepare dinner for the man as usual. 2Sk1dC

He was carrying a plate, about to exit the kitchen, when the phone in his pocket suddenly pinged a text message.

The youth was taken aback and put down the plate to take out his phone.

The phone was a new one that Bo Qin had bought for him, and of course, the SIM card was as well. After he had changed his phone, he had only used it to contact Bo Qin, this one person.

Could it be an SMS from the operator? GVvdt8

The youth’s fair fingers tapped the screen, and a picture popped out.

His pupils shrank instantly as he disbelievingly looked at the two people on the screen.

It was him and Tan Tao.

How could that be? How could he show that kind of expression to Tan Tao… 1PktvI

Tan Tao leaned back against his chair, propping his two long legs up on the office desk, seemingly uncaring regarding the table full of documents.

He lowered his eyes slightly to look at the phone, which showed the message as successfully sent. His lips curved into a smirk.

Long fingers drummed on the table surface, once, twice, three times. He waited fifteen minutes until the other side sent back one sentence.

[Who are you?] X3ZdVT

Tan Tao smiled and leaned back, inhaling the office’s scent of gardenias. His fingers covered his eyes as he looked towards the ceiling, through the light shining between the cracks.

His darling would be back.
