Chapter 65: The Arrogant Scholar x Elite Lawyer 23

Inside the National Security Bureau.

Tao Yi and the other wealthy young men were first interrogated to the point of dizziness and confusion, then left in stunned silence by the verbal sparring of their own good friend.

They listened dumbfounded as Xie Qingjia argued with the research bigwigs using professional jargon they couldn’t comprehend, feeling their heads ache.

Before long, a confidentiality agreement was placed in front of each of them.

In a daze, everyone signed the document, propping their faces on their hands as they watched Xie Qingjia debate with the academic heavyweights. They strained to understand but remained clueless.

“Tao Yi, do you understand what they’re saying?”

Tao Yi struggled to reply, “I… don’t understand.” Please forgive him for being an academic slacker; he truly had no idea what Xie Qingjia and the others were talking about.

The Fourth Young Master Chen rested his chin on his hand and said, “Xie Qingjia has really made it. He even has people following him when he goes out to race with friends, and now he’s dragged us all into this.”

The Second Young Master Xu’s head was buzzing. “Stop talking. I feel like my brain is growing. And I’ve been out of school for years now.”

Tao Yi twitched his lips. “Who isn’t?”

The Fourth Young Master Chen sighed, “Xie Qingjia has always been smarter than us rich kids. With a bit of effort, he got into the university he wanted, and after studying abroad, he even managed to join the national research institute.”

“You’re right. Xie Qingjia is indeed clever.”

The other wealthy young men were equally impressed. They harbored no jealousy, as they had been close friends since childhood, attending the same schools from elementary to high school.

As for the professional racing team members, they were utterly shocked, their faces filled with disbelief, unsure how to react.

Even after they left, they remained in a daze.

When had the world gone mad in a way they no longer recognized? Since when could a rich second-generation heir become a research heavyweight?

After the interrogation, Xie Qingjia, who was still on vacation, was promptly dragged back to the research institute by his colleagues and stayed there for three days before finally being allowed to leave.

At the Xie family villa.

After enduring three grueling days, Xie Qingjia returned home and tearfully embraced Oberon, his whole being exuding an indescribable sadness.

“Husband, I’m so miserable.”

Oberon held his dear wife close, gently comforting the beautiful young man whose eyes were red with frustration. “Baby, my love, let me hold you~”

Xie Qingjia gritted his teeth and said, “They’re all a bunch of insufferable jerks! They dragged me back to work even during my vacation! Do they have no humanity?!”

Oberon gave him a loving hug, which only made Xie Qingjia feel more aggrieved.

“This time, no one is going to disturb my rest. I’m going to my room to sleep…”

As he spoke, he already leaned heavily on Oberon’s shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

“Baby?” Oberon called softly, but only light breathing answered him.

He sighed gently, picked Xie Qingjia up in his arms, carried him back to their bedroom, and laid the exhausted young man on the bed. Then, he sat by the bedside, gazing at him.

“Baby, sleep well. I’ll watch over you.” Oberon lay down beside Xie Qingjia, pulling the sleeping man into his arms.

He traced the contours of his lover’s face with his fingers.

Xie Qingjia was his entire world. He couldn’t imagine a life without him.

Though the future might be unpredictable, Xie Qingjia was someone he would never give up on.

Not even in death!

As a greedy man, he only wanted Xie Qingjia to belong to him for eternity, forever nestled in his embrace.

If God heard his prayer, may He ensure that he and Xie Qingjia would never be parted.

Always connected at heart, forever together.
