Rebirth and Conquest

The next morning, Chen Yan went to Han Danqing's place.

Han Danqing continued to live in the place Chen Yan had arranged for him. The place was somewhat remote and had no housing, so it should have been safe from any disturbance. However, given Han Danqing's current fame and status, even though he lived there, a large number of people still came to visit him.

Han Danqing has an extremely indifferent personality. He dislikes noise and doesn't know how to deal with interpersonal relationships. Moreover, over the past few years, his personality has become somewhat withdrawn, and he even has a tendency to renounce the world.

Chen Yan used to visit Han Danqing from time to time, but in the past year or two, she hasn't been here much because of various things that have kept her occupied.

After arriving at Han Danqing's place, Chen Yan asked Zhou Linli to park the car far away outside, and then he got out and went inside.

At this moment, Han Danqing was in his large studio. He was sitting in a chair by a window facing away from the sun, with one hand supporting his head, quietly looking out the window, as if he were lost in thought or deep in contemplation. He didn't even notice when Chen Yan came in.

Han Danqing looked even thinner than before, and his whole being exuded a sense of loneliness. When he was down on his luck, he was always slovenly and looked older than his age. The comfortable life he had lived in the past few years had made him look much better, and now you could finally see that he had a very handsome face. In fact, Han Danqing was not very old, only in his thirties. However, his face was very pale, as if he had never seen the sun and there was no color in his skin.

Chen Yan walked over and said with a smile, "Mr. Han."

Upon hearing this, Han Danqing lowered her hand, turned her head to look at Chen Yan, and a slight change appeared on her usually calm face. "You haven't been here for a long time."

"I'm sorry I haven't visited you in so long. How have you been lately?"

"I'm leaving," Han Danqing said. "Your arrival is a good opportunity to say goodbye."

Chen Yan's expression didn't change much. She asked casually, "Why are you leaving? Is it because the people at the company aren't taking good care of you?"

"No, it's that I can't fit in here."

Han Danqing's tone carried a hint of loneliness, a loneliness that couldn't be solved by having many people around. It was the pain of being misunderstood by no one. He had spent the first half of his life in poverty and hardship, experiencing the coldness of the world, and then suddenly became famous and admired by many. This huge gap not only made him feel somewhat lost, but also added a sense of pathos. Over time, he developed some depression.

"Where do you plan to go after you leave here, sir?" Chen Yan asked again.

Han Danqing remained silent for a moment, perhaps not even knowing where he should go.

“I heard from Mu Yang that you don’t like being disturbed all the time, but if you leave here, there will be even more people outside. Do you want to go to a primeval forest where no one lives?” Chen Yan asked jokingly, standing in front of Han Danqing. “I think you don’t dislike being disturbed, sir. You’re just troubled that no one can understand you.”

"Sir, you must understand, true friends are easy to find but hard to come by. In thousands of years, there has only been one pair like Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi. How can an ordinary person ask for more? If you find it a bit boring to stay here, I will come to visit you often in the future. Even if I cannot understand your thoughts, at least I can appreciate your paintings. What do you think, sir?"

"I-----"

"Alright, what have you been painting lately, sir?" Chen Yan interrupted Han Danqing again, changing the subject. "I heard you've produced another masterpiece. This is a perfect opportunity for me to see it."

Seeing that Han Danqing did not make a move, Chen Yan smiled and said, "What, does the gentleman look down on me? I held an art exhibition for you and started a company for you, and I'm not even worth half a Zhong Ziqi?"

Han Danqing sighed and finally stood up from the chair: "I'll go get it for you and take a look."

Chen Yan smiled upon seeing this and said, "Okay."

After Chen Yan came out of Han Danqing's place, Zhou Linli was already standing outside the car, seemingly getting impatient. As soon as he saw Chen Yan appear, he walked up and asked, "Is the matter resolved?"

"Okay." Chen Yan nodded and added, "Remember to remind me to come here every few days."

"Okay, I get it now."

After Chen Yan got into the car, he asked Zhou Linli to take him back to the company. On the way back, they happened to pass by Yan Minghui's hotel headquarters. Chen Yan asked Zhou Linli to stop the car there and prepared to go see Yan Minghui. Chen Yan and Zhou Linli went into the hotel together and took the internal elevator directly to the top floor.

Just as Chen Yan stepped out of the elevator and was heading to Yan Minghui's office, she suddenly heard an exasperated voice: "Yan Minghui, put me down right now!"

"Don't let it go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Minghui walked out from around the corner. Yan Minghui had someone on his shoulder. From the voice she had just heard, Chen Yan knew that the person being carried upside down on Yan Minghui's shoulder was Sun Xiuqi.

Sun Xiuqi struggled on Yan Minghui's shoulder, and Yan Minghui immediately slapped him on the buttocks. "Don't move, or you'll fall off," Yan Minghui warned, then turned and bit Sun Xiuqi's buttocks as punishment.

Sun Xiuqi froze instantly, then punched Yan Minghui in the back, yelling, "Bastard!"

Yan Minghui didn't care at all and chuckled. But as soon as he looked up, he saw Chen Yan standing not far away, looking like she was watching a good show. He couldn't help but ask, "Yan? What are you doing here?"

"It's nothing, I just happened to be passing by," Chen Yan said casually.

Upon hearing Yan Minghui call him "Ayan," Sun Xiuqi, who was on top of Yan Minghui, immediately froze, probably so embarrassed that he wanted to beat Yan Minghui to death.

"Oh, I have something to do now, so I won't keep you company. You can look around here by yourself." Yan Minghui said goodbye to Chen Yan, then carried Sun Xiuqi directly past Chen Yan, while Sun Xiuqi pretended to be dead and didn't move until the two entered the elevator.

Chen Yan turned her head and saw Zhou Linli's bright red face behind her.

"Then let's go too," Chen Yan said with a smile.

Chen Yan originally intended to go to headquarters, but changed his mind at the last minute and had Zhou Linli take him to Wen Mu's place instead.

In the office, Wen Mu was sitting in front of the computer looking at something.

Seeing Chen Yan walk in from outside, he asked with some confusion, "Why are you here at this time?"

"I came to see you," Chen Yan said, walking a few steps to Wen Mu's side.

Wen Mu looked up at Chen Yan and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat?"

"Hmm, I'm a little hungry," Chen Yan said, then reached out and hugged Wen Mu, nuzzling her head against Wen Mu's shoulder. "What are you going to feed me?"

Wen Mu blushed slightly as Chen Yan nuzzled him, and said, "I'm almost done. How about we go out to eat after I finish this job?"

"But it's too late." Chen Yan said cryptically, then suddenly picked up Wen Mu, turned around and switched places with Wen Mu, sitting down in a chair and holding Wen Mu in her arms.

Wen Mu was startled. Because Chen Yan was holding her waist tightly, she could only lie on top of Chen Yan and asked, "Wh-what's wrong?"

"Of course I'm hungry," Chen Yan said with a smile, her hands around Wen Mu's back starting to pat him up and down.

Wen Mu swallowed hard, while Chen Yan's hand had already slipped inside his clothes from below, stroking his back skin with a hint of eroticism. Wen Mu almost lost his footing and slipped off Chen Yan's body, but Chen Yan immediately tightened her grip and pulled him up.

Chen Yan reached out to Wen Mu and quickly unbuttoned Wen Mu's clothes. Her other hand, which was still around Wen Mu's back, pulled down Wen Mu's suit jacket and then wedged it around Wen Mu's elbow.

Wen Mu's heart skipped a beat. What was wrong with Chen Yan today? Could it be... that she really wanted to do *that*? But...

"Chen Yan, it's daytime now," Wen Mu couldn't help but remind her, creating some distance between them.

However, Chen Yan loosened her grip and pulled Wen Mu close to her before saying, "Yes, it's daytime."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and, through the thin shirt, bit Wen Mu's chest, causing Wen Mu to let out a soft "Ah."

When Chen Yan's hand reached down to Wen Mu's lower back and touched his pants, Wen Mu was already a little breathless, but he still couldn't help but say, "But, this is the office."

"So?" Chen Yan asked.

Wen Mu leaned close to Chen Yan's ear, almost burying her face in Chen Yan's shoulder, and whispered, "I don't have any condoms."

Chen Yan stopped what she was doing, turned to look at Wen Mu, a bright smile in her eyes, and said, "That's right, there's no lubricant yet."

Wen Mu was immediately embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She forced a reply, "I don't have a place to shower here. Let's do it tonight." After a pause, she buried her face in Chen Yan's neck and tentatively asked, "How about I bite you now? What do you think?"

Seeing that Chen Yan did not object, Wen Mu released his arms from Chen Yan and slid down Chen Yan's body.

Kneeling on the ground, Wen Mu looked up at Chen Yan, then reached out to undo Chen Yan's belt.

..................................................................

Wen Mu stuck out her tongue and licked it, then tried to swallow it all into her mouth. It was the first time Wen Mu had done this, and her mouth felt a little uncomfortable and she wasn't used to it.

Chen Yan sat obediently, not forcing him to do anything. Wen Mu wanted to please Chen Yan as much as possible, so he raised his eyes to see Chen Yan's reaction. Perhaps it was because of the food in his mouth, but his eyes were moist, like a small animal.

Seeing Chen Yan looking down at him, he blushed slightly and almost choked.

Chen Yan immediately pinched his chin and pulled it apart, then wiped the corner of his mouth with her finger.

................................................

Chen Yan took a glass of water from the table and handed it to Wen Mu, letting him drink a few sips to dilute the taste in his mouth. Then she pulled him up from the ground and said, "Get up."

After tidying up Wen Mu's clothes, he said, "Let's go eat."
