by InterstellarSnakeChapter 55: Taking Your Wife Away
Lin Miao was stunned by the word “affair,” his eyes wide as he looked at his gentle and refined Teacher Yu.
Yu Jinwan didn’t expect He Congshan to say anything so outrageous and was momentarily stunned, “What nonsense……”
He Congshan quickly corrected himself, “I meant a date, it’s a date.”
He turned to Huoyuchuan and asked, “Why aren’t you two using the main gate? Why are you here?”
Huoyuchuan replied, “We’re also on a date.”
He Congshan pulled Yu Jinwan and started walking, “You two take your time. We’re off first.”
Lin Miao watched He Congshan, who was acting furtively and looking around nervously, as if he were a thief, “……He looks like he’s going to kidnap Teacher Yu and sell him.”
Huoyuchuan nodded, “We could call the police.”
Lin Miao said, “Forget it. If he gets arrested, I’ll have nowhere to work.”
Huoyuchuan pinched his cheek, “Let He Congshan give you a model worker award.”
Lin Miao’s eyes lit up, “Is there a bonus?”
Huoyuchuan replied, “If there isn’t, we’ll call the police and have him arrested.”
Lin Miao: “……”
Huoyuchuan took him to have a meal. After eating, Lin Miao still diligently went to work, so Huoyuchuan had to drive him to “Muse.”
When they arrived, they found Teacher Yu, drunk and collapsed in He Congshan’s arms.
Both of them immediately looked at He Congshan reproachfully.
He Congshan: “……”
He Congshan didn’t bother to explain and waved his hand to get Lin Miao to start working.
Huoyuchuan coolly remarked, “Aren’t you afraid Yu Boss will have you buried alive?”
He Congshan touched Yu Jinwan’s warm face and said, “He said he didn’t want to go back.”
Huoyuchuan: “So you got him drunk?”
“What getting drunk?” He Congshan protested, “I didn’t stop him.”
Yu Jinwan passed out after just one glass.
He Congshan looked at his sleeping face and sighed, “Tell me, how can I get his dad to agree to him being with me? I’ve been thinking and thinking, and I can’t come up with any ideas. I’m losing my hair over this.”
Huoyuchuan: “Then get a wig.”
He Congshan almost jumped up to hit him.
Huoyuchuan added, “Give him a house and a car.”
“But his dad is richer than me. He wouldn’t care about that,” He Congshan thought it was not feasible at all and asked Huoyuchuan, “Did Lin Miao’s dad agree to you two being together?”
Huoyuchuan: “……No.”
He Congshan’s eyes lit up as if he had found a kindred spirit, “So what do you do?”
Huoyuchuan: “I haven’t figured it out yet.”
He Congshan didn’t get any useful advice and angrily said, “Why are you so useless?!”
Huoyuchuan let out a cold snort, “If you were useful, you wouldn’t be sneaking around.”
He Congshan corrected, “I said it’s a date.”
After saying that, he sighed again, “You two are always together, so of course you’re not in a hurry. It’s hard for me to even see him once…… Never mind, I’m not talking to you anymore.”
He carried the person upstairs and went back to the room he usually stayed in, placing him on the bed.
“Bad tolerance for alcohol yet still drinking,” he brushed away the hair from Yu Jinwan’s forehead and said softly, “You get tipsy after just one glass.”
Yu Jinwan opened his eyes slightly and murmured, “He Congshan……”
He Congshan’s heart softened, and he couldn’t help but kiss him.
Yu Jinwan raised his hand and gently touched his face.
He Congshan held his fingertips and said, “I’ve always been puzzled. Why did you come here as a waiter? Were you short of money?”
Yu Jinwan shook his head, and after a while, he said in a low voice, as if a bit angry, “You don’t remember me.”
He Congshan didn’t understand, “What don’t remember you?”
Yu Jinwan lowered his eyes and said in an unclear voice, “We’ve met……”
The first time he came here, he wasn’t a waiter. He just happened to be wearing a white shirt that day and was mistaken for a waiter by a drunk guest who wouldn’t let go of him.
It was He Congshan who rushed over and pulled the person off him, even beating them up.
It was also from that time on that “Muse” had the rule that waiters could wear masks.
But He Congshan didn’t remember him. He probably only remembered that someone was almost bullied but forgot what he looked like.
“Don’t remember……” he murmured and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Huoyuchuan got off work early to pick up Lin Miao. On the way, Lin Miao said he wanted to eat cake, so they turned into a cake shop.
When they arrived, they saw Zhao Jiayin sitting in the shop, eating cake.
“Miss Zhao?”
Zhao Jiayin smiled, “What a coincidence……”
She called out to Lin Miao, “Miao Miao, have a piece of cake with me.”
Lin Miao, smelling the cake, immediately agreed.
Huoyuchuan looked around, “Is Huomingzhe here too?”
“None of his business,” Zhao Jiayin said coldly, “Just me.”
Huoyuchuan understood, “Had a fight?”
“No, what’s there to fight about,” Zhao Jiayin commented, “Heartless and ungrateful man.”
She propped her chin up, watching Lin Miao obediently eat the cake, and teased, “Miao Miao is different. So cute. I really like him.”
Before Lin Miao could say anything, Huoyuchuan took out his phone and coldly said, “I’m recording this and sending it to Huomingzhe.”
“Oh,” Zhao Jiayin didn’t seem to mind, “Then send more.”
She leaned into the phone and said, “Huomingzhe, you big jerk.”
Then the phone rang, showing “Huomingzhe” on the caller ID.
Lin Miao: “……” It’s really not a good idea to curse during the day!
Huoyuchuan glanced at Zhao Jiayin, “You answer?”
Zhao Jiayin hung up the phone without even looking.
Huoyuchuan wasn’t surprised and sent a message to Huomingzhe, “Your wife hung up.”
Then the phone rang again.
Huoyuchuan walked a bit away and answered, “Take your wife away.”
Huomingzhe laughed, “She went to find you?”
Huoyuchuan: “She’s clinging to my wife.”
“You have a wife now,” Huomingzhe said, “I thought you guys were going to be friends forever……”
“Stop pretending,” Huoyuchuan said calmly, “You didn’t know about what happened at the A University anniversary?”
“We did know,” Huomingzhe said, “You guys were so secretive before, but this time you really made a big deal out of it. Even the old man knows now.”
Huoyuchuan: “And then?”
Huomingzhe: “He asked you to come home for dinner this weekend.”
Huoyuchuan didn’t react much, just said, “Got it.”
He hung up the phone and came back. Lin Miao was picking out a cake to take home, asking the shop assistant something with a few strands of hair sticking up, smiling with his eyes curved.
Zhao Jiayin was silent for a moment, then said, “I’ve heard a bit about your situation. This time going back, it won’t be easy.”
She warned, “You know they all care about interests, about matching social status, and business marriages. They won’t allow you and Lin Miao……”
Huoyuchuan said indifferently, “Then I’ll just say I like Huomingzhe.”
Zhao Jiayin: “……”
