A beautiful summer night

When Xie Qiyan agreed to go upstairs with Xia Wanzhi, he already guessed what she wanted to say to him.

If he wasn't going to budge, he wouldn't have come up to sit tonight.

After everyone had calmed down, Xie Qiyan put forward his conditions: "I can stay at Xingyao Building, but you have to do me a favor."

Xia Wanzhi quickly replied, "What kind of help?"

“The top floor of Xingyao will be designed as a sky garden according to my requirements. The land for your studio can be left undemolished, I can keep it for you. But, Teacher Xia, you need to unconditionally paint countless colorful portraits for me according to my requirements.”

Xia Wanzhi pursed her lips slightly.

These words contain a wealth of information.

He wanted to transform the Starry Sky Building into a shopping mall, but left the top floor as a sky garden.

He called her Teacher Xia.

He wanted her to draw for him indefinitely.

She painted her whole life, and she had to paint whatever he told her to paint.

This rounding up basically means he wants her to sell herself to him.

Xia Wanzhi's pupils contracted, and she swallowed hard, somewhat alarmed.

What a treacherous and cunning merchant.

"Who should I draw?" Xia Wanzhi asked tentatively.

Xie Qiyan pondered for a long time: "Alone."

“Drawing you? No way.” Xia Wanzhi sat up straight and said seriously, “I’m a respectable person.”

I don't draw perverts.

Xie Qiyan remained motionless, scrutinizing her for a few seconds, wondering what image he projected in her eyes: "Is there a problem? Or are you not going to agree?"

Xia Wanzhi was completely under his control.

The next second, she compromised without any backbone: "Okay, but you can't challenge my professional ethics or cross my bottom line."

Tonight's conversation has achieved its purpose for them.

When Xie Qiyan left, Xia Wanzhi, to thank him, warmly treated him to a cup of thousand-year-old ginseng eight-treasure tea.

Let's raise a toast to their successful collaboration.

After seeing the person off, Xia Wanzhi buried herself in the sofa, hugged a pillow and sobbed a couple of times, shamelessly shedding tears of excitement and joy.

A triple kill secured Xie Qiyan.

Her beloved studio was saved.

Before going back, Xie Qiyan took a drive around, and it was already 10 p.m. when he arrived at the South Courtyard.

Ten o'clock is the time when Xie Tan is forced to go to sleep, but at this moment he is waiting in the living room. When he sees Xie Qiyan come back, he immediately goes up to him ingratiatingly: "Brother, did you ask for me?"

Xie Qiyan asked calmly, "What do you want to ask?"

"Ask Sister Wanzi if she's going to England." Xie Tan had been unhappy ever since she learned from the old man tonight that Xia Wanzhi might go abroad after breaking off her engagement.

She didn't want Xia Wanzhi to leave.

But her family members are all abroad.

Xie Tan dared not ask or ask her to stay.

Xie Qiyan gave a very soft "Mmm": "I'm not going."

Children's sadness comes and goes quickly. Upon hearing that Xia Wanzhi wasn't going abroad, Xie Tan jumped up and grabbed Xie Qiyan's hand, shaking it vigorously: "Really! Really? Did she tell you?"

"Really." Xie Qiyan pressed his broad hand down on Xie Tan's head.

She begged to take the studio back.

People will naturally stop leaving.

He had been back in China for less than three months when he unexpectedly found himself drawn to Xie Tan, his younger sister. Perhaps it was because he felt sorry for her because his third uncle and his third wife had treated her badly. In addition, the child called him "brother" as soon as she saw him, and her eyes looked as if she were looking at her own family.

Xie Qiyan didn't feel like he had any relatives in this family.

But Xie Tan truly considered him his older brother.

Of all the Xie family members, he now only recognizes Xie Tan as a relative.

But she was, after all, a girl, and Xie Qiyan didn't think he had any experience in raising children.

Coincidentally, Xie Tan likes Xia Wanzhi, and Xia Wanzhi is in a relationship with Xie Tan.

He thought that he absolutely couldn't live without Xia Wanzhi in the future.

Xie Qiyan went to bed before midnight, but was awakened at 2 a.m. by an unbearable feeling of heat.

My back and forehead were almost completely sweaty, especially the vibrant area under my bathrobe.

He hardly had a moment to relax because of his work, let alone have any thoughts of wanting to have fun.

No man is ignorant of his own body.

However, Xie Qiyan was always abstinent and never lost control.

Tonight's situation is like taking the wrong medicine.

Take the wrong medicine...

Xie Qiyan threw off the covers, got up, and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

His breathing became slightly rapid, and the image of the large cup of strong tea he had drunk at Xia Wanzhi's place that evening flashed through his mind. Xie Qiyan gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

It wasn't that I took the wrong medicine, it was that I drank the wrong tea.

Her poisonous tea, Xia Wanzhi.

Whether intentional or unintentional, this insidious prank is exactly the same as it was when I was a child.

After taking a cold shower, Xie Qiyan seemed to feel that it wasn't enough to relieve the urge, so he filled the bathtub with cold water and soaked for twenty minutes before finally suppressing the desire.

It hasn't been like this for many years.

That's why once provoked, it becomes unstoppable.

He doesn't like being controlled by desires.

I also don't like to do that kind of thing with my own hands.

He lived like a machine.

After leaving the bathroom, Xie Qiyan didn't go back to the bedroom to sleep. Instead, he went to the study and worked for several hours. He only took a short nap after dawn before going to work at the company.

Yu Fei reported his schedule to him as usual, glancing at Xie Qiyan several times during the process, and winking at Huo Yang to hint that something was up.

"If your eyes are diseased, go get them treated." Xie Qiyan's gaze grew increasingly cold.

Yu Fei felt a chill run down his spine when he was stared at like that.

Once everyone had entered the office, Yu Fei and Huo Yang walked to their workstations together before Yu Fei dared to whisper, "Our CEO Xie is up to something."

Huo Yang glanced at him: "What's going on?"

"Can't you tell?" Yu Fei gave him a look that said, "We're all men, don't you understand?"

Huo Yang nodded: "I can tell, you didn't sleep all night."

"You're half right." Yu Fei smiled slyly and leaned closer to whisper, "It's that you didn't get a chance to vent."

Huo Yang mechanically looked up: "..."

The two had already returned to their workstations, and after a moment, they turned around in unison—

"Miss Xia!"

"Mrs. President!"

Yu Fei took a deep breath.

Huo Yang gasped.

They discovered an absolutely incredible secret.

It was just speculation before, but now it has been confirmed.

No man would tolerate that situation.

A solution by one person is still a solution.

But their boss, Mr. Xie, didn't resolve the issue, and instead let it fester and cause serious damage.

So the only answer is that someone was with him at the time, he couldn't escape, and he had to maintain his gentlemanly image, so he had to endure it even if he didn't want to.

Three hours into the workday, Xie Qiyan noticed that his special assistant and secretary were both acting like they'd taken some kind of mental retardation pill, completely out of sorts.

Xie Qiyan himself wasn't really in the zone either.

At noon, Xie Qiyan went straight out of his office and knocked on Yu Fei's workstation: "Is the contract ready?"

Yu Fei immediately called the company's legal department to urge them to act.

He only mentioned drafting the contract half an hour ago, without mentioning expedited processing, and now he wants it all in half an hour.

Yu Fei felt like he had really seen a ghost.

He had never seen his boss show leniency towards anyone.

The results of it?

First, they made an actor fix water pipes and deliver things, and now they're keeping him at Xingyao and drafting an unfair contract to make him work as their artist for free for life.

When it comes to cunning, Yu Fei only respects his own superior.

When it comes to being obsessed with saving face and being hypocritical, he only respects his own superior.
