With a loud “bang,” the bathroom door was kicked open from the outside and slammed hard against the wall!

Lin Can turned around in confusion, only to see Qi Yuan’s face, dark enough to drip ink.

“What are you guys doing?!”

Lin Can himself was still trying to figure out the situation, so he could only blink in confusion a couple of times, glancing at Qi Yuan and then down at the colleague who claimed they were both in the same line of work.

“Speak!” Qi Yuan’s expression was as furious as a husband caught cheating.

“I…”

“Qi Shao…” Before Lin Can could say anything, that “colleague” spoke up first, “Qi Shao, you came at the right time! Lin Ge, he… Lin Ge, he…”

Before he could finish, he shivered slightly, as if he had really been quite scared.

Someone had followed Qi Yuan in a rush, and upon seeing this scene, they started to speculate.

No wonder Qi Shao’s expression changed so suddenly while he was talking, as if his house was on fire and he was rushing to find out what was going on.

Turns out, his little lover was sneaking around!

“Yuan Ge, what’s going on with your little lover? The face is nice, but the behavior isn’t honest at all!”

“Yeah, just a few minutes of not watching him, and he’s already getting cozy with someone else, not taking you seriously at all.”

“Keeping someone like this is just a headache. Yuan Ge, if you need someone, I can send you a more obedient one…”

“Shut up!” Qi Yuan growled impatiently.

His voice wasn’t loud, but the rich second-generation kids who had been chattering just a moment ago immediately fell silent.

Qi Yuan slowly walked up to Lin Can, scanning him from head to toe before reaching out to pinch his earlobe.

Lin Can instinctively frowned and shook his head to brush off Qi Yuan’s hand.

Qi Yuan chuckled lightly, then turned his gaze to the handsome boy next to him, who looked like he had just seen a ghost. “What’s your name?”

The boy unconsciously swallowed hard, “I… I’m Bian Wen.”

“Alright,” Qi Yuan nodded, “Bian Wen, right?”

“Don’t let me see you in Jing City again.”

Bian Wen’s face changed, “Why??”

“It’s clearly him!” He pointed at Lin Can, “He’s the one who harassed me! Why…”

“Do you think I’m easy to fool?” Qi Yuan looked at him as if he were an idiot, “He’s already with me, and you think he’d be interested in you, a plain chicken?”

“With no face, no body, and short stature, where do you get the confidence that he would go for you?”

At first, Lin Can was quite anxious, but as he listened, he started to feel something was off.

Wasn’t that the same way Qi Yuan described Ran Yang earlier?

Why was he using it here too?

“Qi Shao…”

When it comes to being in this line of work, the most important things are looks and body. Being mocked for both at once, Bian Wen’s face turned as colorful as a palette.

Yet Qi Yuan still felt it wasn’t enough and asked him, “Tell me, compared to me, where do you have the advantage? What advantages do you have?”

“Can you act pitiful? Or are you good at clinging to people?”

The rich second-generation kids who had come to watch the show exchanged glances, all puzzled.

This ancestor had never been so aggressive before.

In the past, if someone provoked him, he wouldn’t even bother to give them a look; he would just wave his hand and have his subordinates take care of it.

Now, he was relentless, as if he wanted to compete with Bian Wen in front of someone.

Everyone unconsciously looked at the little lover who was being pulled by Qi Yuan.

Lin Can vaguely felt something was off but didn’t think about it too deeply. He just stared blankly at Bian Wen, thinking that to survive in this world, one really needed some skills; this ability to change faces was not something just anyone could learn.

Qi Yuan turned Lin Can’s head to face him, then turned to shout at the person who wanted to run away.

“Wen Chu, this is your person. I can’t deal with him, so you handle it.”

Wen Chu shrank his neck, feeling that the looks from his brothers were filled with pity.

“Yuan Ge, since you said that, I definitely can’t stand by and do nothing. Don’t worry, I’ll give you an explanation.” Wen Chu forced a smile, then shot a fierce glare at Bian Wen.

“Let’s go, didn’t you say you were hungry?” Qi Yuan said to Lin Can.

Lin Can nodded and followed Qi Yuan out of the bathroom.

“Wen Shao…” Bian Wen looked at Wen Chu with a pitiful expression, tears welling up.

Wen Chu usually loved Bian Wen’s pitiful face, having kept him around for two months and doting on him, but now, looking at him, he felt a wave of annoyance.

“Don’t come to me for sympathy,” he shook off Bian Wen’s arm that was trying to cling to him and said coldly, “Pack your things and get out of Jing City. If I see you here again, I guarantee you won’t have a good time.”

After throwing that out, he followed his brothers, muttering about bad luck.

“Just a seller, and he dares to flirt with Qi Yuan? What kind of person is Qi Yuan? Even I wouldn’t dare offend him, and he thinks he can share a man with him.”

“Hahaha, these people really don’t know their place, thinking we can’t see through their little schemes.”

“But you have to admit, that Lin Can is really good-looking. After seeing him, the others around me just don’t compare.”

“Shut up, that’s Yuan Ge’s person. You don’t want to survive in Jing City anymore?”

*

Back in the private room, Qi Yuan started to hold Lin Can accountable.

“How did you two get together?” he questioned Lin Can.

Lin Can helplessly replied, “We didn’t get together. I just went to the bathroom, thinking I’d come out in five minutes.”

Qi Yuan knew he was intentionally avoiding those rich kids and didn’t press for details, just asking what happened next.

“Then he came in and asked me…”

“?” Qi Yuan looked at Lin Can, who had paused for a long time, “What did he ask you? Speak up.”

Lin Can opened and closed his mouth, his whole body radiating resistance, “Do I have to say it?”

Hey, it was better not to ask; once he did, Qi Yuan became even more curious.

“You must say it.” He insisted.

“He asked if I was the top or the bottom, and said he could do it for love, guaranteed to make me comfortable…”

Although Lin Can took several deep breaths before speaking, by the time he finished, he couldn’t help but cover his face in embarrassment.

He had spent too long in the ivory tower of school and had never encountered someone so bold; a casual remark could blow his CPU.

He silently collapsed for a while, only to realize that the private room had fallen into an awkward silence.

Qi Yuan hadn’t spoken for a long time, and all he could hear was the bubbling sound of the hot pot.

He looked up and saw Qi Yuan sitting in a chair, fingers tapping away at the keyboard.

“What are you doing?”

Qi Yuan’s voice was filled with anger, “Looking for Xie Jun, telling him to sell that guy to the duck shop. If he likes serving people so much, I’ll let him serve enough!”

Lin Can hurriedly stopped him, “He didn’t do anything to me, just let it go.”

“Let it go?” Qi Yuan reacted as if he had heard the biggest joke, “I’m right here, and he dares to flirt with you under my nose. If I go out to film, am I supposed to let you two share a bed at Yu Jing Garden?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Lin Can interrupted him, “What bed are you talking about?”

“I’m trying to stand up for you, and you come to nitpick at me?” Qi Yuan’s tone was harsh.

When he burst into the bathroom and saw that duck sticking to Lin Can, he was already on the edge of exploding. He held back his anger to help, and this person still didn’t appreciate it!

Qi Yuan had never suffered such grievances in his life!

“What does it have to do with appreciation?” Lin Can didn’t want to argue with him, but Qi Yuan’s words were really annoying, “Do you have to connect everything to that?”

“How can I not think that way?” Qi Yuan shouted back, “Do you know how close you were to him at that time? If others didn’t know, they would think you two were a couple!”

Lin Can finally got angry too: “I just talked to him a few words; can you not act like a wife catching her husband cheating in a hotel?!”

“Huh?” Qi Yuan looked incredulous, “What did you just say?”

“I…”

“Lin Can, I see your tail is really high now, not knowing your own weight!”

He dared to say that to him!

Lin Can showed a troubled expression. He clearly wasn’t an impulsive person, but sometimes he would get carried away by Qi Yuan’s energy.

“I didn’t mean it like that…”

“Who cares what you mean!” Qi Yuan didn’t want to hear his explanation anymore, “I think you really don’t know your own surname!”

After saying that, he slammed the door and stormed out, filled with rage.

Lin Can followed him out, only to see him telling the rich second-generation kids who had come with him to “get lost.”

Well, this was really an explosion.

The few rich kids who had been scolded obediently made way, and after watching Qi Yuan walk away, they turned to Lin Can.

“Lin Ge,” someone asked, “What happened?”

Lin Can rubbed his forehead, “I said something wrong.”

The others exchanged glances, then pointed in the direction Qi Yuan had left, “Aren’t you going to chase after him?”

Lin Can pointed at the private room, “We haven’t settled the bill or packed up yet…”

“Oh come on, what time is it? You’re still thinking about that stuff!” Wen Chu was almost ready to kneel before Lin Can, wondering how this person had survived under Qi Yuan all this time with such poor situational awareness.

“Hurry up and chase after him; I’ll have someone bring you the stuff.” Another person said.

Lin Can thanked them and then walked past them.

Only then did everyone realize that this little lover of Qi Yuan’s was taller than all of them present.

“Hiss, so who’s really on top here…”

Someone muttered quietly.

When Lin Can reached the underground parking lot, Qi Yuan had already driven away.

Lin Can wasn’t surprised; after all, the mall wasn’t far from Yu Jing Garden, and he could walk back in a few steps.

Taking a shortcut, Lin Can appeared at the entrance of the Yu Jing Garden community twenty minutes later.

The security guard didn’t dare to stop him at all. After letting him in, he even asked with concern why he was walking back today.

Lin Can honestly replied, “I had a fight with Qi Yuan; he drove back first.”

The security guard looked as if he had just heard some big news, and he didn’t even dare to chat anymore, quickly sending Lin Can home to smooth things over.

Upstairs, the car keys were casually thrown on the carpet, a bit away from the entrance, clearly having been tossed.

Lin Can walked over to pick them up and placed them with the pile at the entrance.

“Qi Yuan, you didn’t eat lunch; are you hungry now?” He knocked on Qi Yuan’s bedroom door.

A loud “roll” came from inside.

Lin Can: “…”

With such a strong voice, he must not be hungry.

He slipped into the kitchen, preparing to make himself a bowl of noodles.

Just as he entered, he heard a loud bang.

The kitchen door was forcefully pushed open.

Qi Yuan’s furious voice roared like a T-Rex breathing fire.

“You say I’m your wife? Fine! Then I’ll fulfill my duties as a wife right now!”

“Take off your clothes! Tie that apron over there on!”
