CH 23

Chu Yi parked at another intersection of the Feiyun building. Someone like Qin Yiheng naturally wouldn’t squeeze into the same elevator with his employees during rush hour.

He saw that Qin Yiheng went into a different door than the others.

Chu Yi didn’t have the intention to leave. He rolled down the windows and decided to wait until Qin Yiheng left his line of sight before leaving.

As he watched Qin Yiheng leave, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

“Chu Yi?”

Hearing the sound, Chu Yi moved his eyes from Qin Yiheng’s back to that person.

The incoming person: “It really is you. I thought it looks like your car, and it actually is you.”

Chu Yi opened the window more and looked at the man near his car window. He was carrying a backpack and wearing a jacket, he smiled dryly: “What a coincidence.”

It is quite a coincidence. This gentleman is the one he just had a blind date with last week, the programmer, Zhao Zhongliang.

Zhao Zhongliang got closer, and even put a hand on his window frame.

Chu Yi probed out his head and found that Qin Yiheng, who was supposed to enter the door, didn’t go in. He stood by the door and looked towards them, it seemed like he had the intention of coming over.

Zhao Zhongliang continued to talk: “I’ve been very busy recently. I often work overtime until three or four o’clock. But auntie contacted me and told me that she had conveyed my intentions to you.” Zhao Zhongliang chuckled: “You haven’t replied to the last message I sent to you.”

Chu Yi raised his brows: “Is that so, I probably forgot because I’ve been busy.”

Chu Yi suddenly remembered the message Zhao Zhongliang was talking about. He is the blind date who loves to send him cringy pick-up lines. The latest one seemed to be something like heartbeats, heartthrobs, you’re my little sweetheart. It made Chu Yi feel so uncomfortable that he almost turned on Do Not Disturb.

At this moment, Zhao Zhongliang was excited about meeting Chu Yi coincidentally. He pushed up his glasses and looked down at his watch, he seemed to be thinking about choosing between being late and Chu Yi.

But soon, his programmer-like brain made the decision for him.

Zhao Zhongliang: “I have to go to work. I’ll call you after I get off work today. I’m free next week. I’ll ask you out-…”

Chu Yi interrupted him: “No, right now I’m already…”

Zhao Zhongliang suddenly got a call, because he had the phone in his hand, he quickly answered: “Hello.”

Chu Yi wanted to continue talking but Zhao Zhongliang had already taken a few steps back. He gestured to Chu Yi with a calling motion, indicating that he would contact him later.

Chu Yi: ???

Zhao Zhongliang backed away, and when he turned around, he suddenly saw the person he had only seen in pictures.

Zhao Zhongliang quickly put down his phone, covered the mic, and said respectfully, “Hello, President Qin.”

As if afraid of being caught for being late, Zhao Zhongliang immediately went to the entrance after greeting him. He even said to the phone: “Do you know who I just ran into? Qin Yiheng!”

Zhao Zhongliang had already left, there’s actually no need for Qin Yiheng to come over.

After all, he thinks that Qin Yiheng only walked over because he thought that Chu Yi had met a friend. With Qin Yiheng’s current view on family, he would come to greet Chu Yi’s friend.

As expected, the first thing Qin Yiheng said after walking up to his car: “Friend?”

Chu Yi adheres to the principle of honesty in marriage, so he shook his head: “No, an acquaintance.” He thought for a bit before adding: “Actually, not quite, he’s my previous blind date.”

Qin Yiheng suddenly frowned: “Blind date?”

Chu Yi laughed dryly.

A busy president like Qin Yiheng probably stays far away from blind dates.

No wait, it was just the day before yesterday that the cleaning auntie said Mother Qin was worried about Qin Yiheng’s marriage life. She probably introduced some to him before.

Thus Chu Yi asked: “Have you been on a blind date before?”

Qin Yiheng answered: “No.”

As expected.

Chu Yi thought again, if Qin Yiheng went on blind dates, he might just marry whichever blind date partner if they had outstanding qualities.

Sigh, why does he feel sour again.

Qin Yiheng looked at the back view of Zhao Zhongliang leaving and asked: “He’s an employee of my company.”

Chu Yi nodded: “Mn, programmer.”

Qin Yiheng asked: “What’s his name?”

Chu Yi: “Zhao Zhongliang.”

Qin Yiheng: “He doesn’t look very young.”

Chu Yi: “He’s actually quite young, even younger than me. He only graduated from university last year.”

Qin Yiheng said with a dull tone: “Hard to tell.”

Chu Yi smiled: “It seems that programmers look relatively older. They often stay up late and lose a lot of hair.”

Qin Yiheng lowered his head to look at Chu Yi: “You know quite well.”

Chu Yi laughed: “He told me all this.”

Qin Yiheng dully mn-ed.

Chu Yi didn’t seem to notice anything wrong. Since Qin Yiheng talked about this, he thought that Qin Yiheng must’ve wanted to know, plus he’s usually good at talking, so he continued.

“He also said that your company’s selection was very strict. He was under a lot of pressure as an intern and the competition was fierce. He couldn’t sleep for several nights. Later, he barely passed and successfully joined the company. He also said that he was very happy to work for your company.” Chu Yi raised his head and smiled at Qin Yiheng: “A very motivated and energetic young man.

Chu Yi paused, there’s no need for Qin Yiheng to know about him being cringy.

Chu Yi’s words are actually intended to praise Qin Yiheng’s company, but what Qin Yiheng heard didn’t seem to be this case.

Qin Yiheng: “Does he know you’re married?”

Chu Yi shook his head: “No.”

Qin Yiheng: “Tell him.”

Chu Yi nodded: “I will.”

After this conversation, Qin Yiheng’s gaze floated to Chu Yi’s mobile phone.

Chu Yi seemed to have understood something, he brought up his phone and wondered: “Right now?”

Qin Yiheng asked back: “Is that a problem?”

Sure, that’s no problem, it’s just…

If that’s no problem then that’s no problem.

If you want me to say it now then I’ll say it now.

So like this, under the watchful eyes of Qin-laoshi, Chu Yi searched in the chat bar and found Zhao Zhongliang. Then he sent him the message: I’m married

Thinking of how they coincidentally just met, it shouldn’t be too abrupt to say this now.

Right?

After sending it, Chu Yi raised his mobile phone and showed it to Qin-laoshi, showing that he had completed the task.

Qin-laoshi stared at his cell phone for a while, then suddenly read out leisurely: “Heartbeats and heartthrobs plentiful, you’re my sweetheart and also my heart and soul.”

Chu Yi: “…”

Qin Yiheng: “What does he mean?”

Chu Yi hurriedly took the phone back. When he saw the message above, his heart tightened, and his ears instantly turned red with embarrassment.

Chu Yi: “This, he…”

Qin Yiheng helped him answer: “He’s pursuing you.”

It was a very affirmative sentence.

Chu Yi didn’t know how to explain: “Just a blind date. After the blind date, there would always be some contact.”

Qin Yiheng: “You’re avoiding my question.”

Chu Yi suddenly felt that Qin Yiheng isn’t easy.

So he could only say: “Probably.”

QIn Yiheng summed up: “He likes you.”

Chu Yi continued: “Probably.”

Qin Yiheng asked Chu Yi: “Can it be taken care of?”

Chu Yi didn’t dare to meet Qin Yiheng’s gaze, he obviously didn’t do anything, but felt like he was caught cheating…

Chu Yi: “I already sent him a message saying that I’m married, he should know what that means.”

Qin Yiheng: “Hopefully he won’t bring us trouble.”

Chu Yi nodded, said very obediently: “I’ll make sure to take care of it.”

This topic did not continue. After Qin Yiheng heard Chu Yi’s assurance, he confidently replied with mn and finally entered the door.

Chu Yi breathed a breath of relief.

Then the phone that had been silent just now rang, Zhao Zhongliang sent him a message.

Zhao Zhongliang: What married?

Zhao Zhongliang: What do you mean?

Chu Yi: It just means I’m married

Chu Yi: I found a very suitable person

Chu Yi: And then got married

Zhao Zhongliang: You’re playing me?

Chu Yi: …

Chu Yi: No

Chu Yi: I got married last week

Zhao Zhongliang: Fine

Looking at this “Fine”, Chu Yi felt that there was no need to reply, so he simply exited the chat.

What he didn’t know was that Zhao Zhongliang on the other side turned so angry from the embarrassment that he deleted him. He also angrily told the middle person who introduced them.

And so this middle person contacted Chu Yi’s mother.

And then Chu Yi’s mother contacted Chu Yi.

It was during lunchtime, Rongrong had ordered a meal for Chu Yi and was delivering it to his office when his cell phone rang.

Chu Yi saw that it was a call from his mother. He didn’t think much and picked it up.

So on the other side.

“Your auntie Zhou said you got married? What does that mean? Who did you get married to?”

Chu Yi froze up: “Uh… I-.”

His mother used an inexplicable tone: “Your auntie Zhou even yelled at me, saying why arrange a blind date for my son when he’s already married, saying that I’m not honest. I explained to her that you’re not married but she said it’s what you told Xiao-Liang. Is that true, Xiao-Yi? What’s going on, Xiao-Yi? Last time you told me that you were dating someone, is it that person?”

Chu Yi pinched the area between his brows: “Yes, mom, I’m married.”
