Early in the morning, He Zheng was awoken by a noise. He opened the door to find Pei Liyan. After yawning, he casually asked, "Why aren’t you sleeping? What are you up so early for?"
"Sleep? Since when do you love sleep so much?" Pei Liyan followed him into the room.
He Zheng continued to lie down, pulling the cool blanket over himself, and lazily glanced at Pei Liyan. "What brings you here so early?"
"Nothing," Pei Liyan answered.
"You definitely need sothing." With his years of brotherhood with Pei Liyan, He Zheng knew he wouldn’t visit so early without a good reason, leaving his beautiful wife behind. "Co on, let solve your puzzles."
After glancing at the so-confident He Zheng, Pei Liyan frowned slightly, "Have you been seeing any won lately?"
He Zheng was taken aback, looking at Pei Liyan with bewildernt and defense like he was seeing sothing extraordinary. "Why are you asking?"
"Do you or do you not?" Pei Liyan’s gaze was piercing, staring into his eyes as if eagerly awaiting the answer.
Now scared, He Zheng’s eyes darted around, suddenly wide awake. He looked at Pei Liyan with confusion and said seriously, "Am I the type of man who randomly picks up won? In your eyes, am I just so kind of womanizer?"
Pei Liyan nodded with utmost seriousness, his expression grave and earnest, "Yes, I’m afraid I have no brother more promiscuous than you."
He Zheng was speechless. "I have such a poor image and place in your heart, huh?"
"Your status is unshakable, but your impression isn’t great," Pei Liyan countered.
He Zheng snorted lightly, eyeing Pei Liyan, "What exactly do you want so early in the morning?" He frowned slightly, his handso face filled with confusion.
"Answer my question first!" Pei Liyan said in a stern voice.
He Zheng rolled his eyes. "No!"
"Alright then." Pei Liyan continued, "When you’ve slept with different won before, have there ever been tis when you didn’t react?"
He Zheng froze, his confusion growing stronger and his face turning sowhat furious. "Old Pei, what are you really trying to get at? Just state your purpose. You’re even asking about such private matters—don’t tell you’re not reacting to Qiao Rui?" He widened his eyes in shock and scrambled out of bed.
He eyed Pei Liyan, full of gossip, "Could it be that you’re having trouble sleeping together?"
"Get lost. Can’t you speak properly?" Pei Liyan cursed. "You’re the one with problems."
He Zheng laughed out loud. "Brother, it’s okay to face your own issues. If you’re truly not interested in her, don’t force yourself. After all, it’s pretty buzz-killing when there’s no interest."
Pei Liyan’s eyebrows knitted together fiercely. "I don’t have any problem."
"If you don’t have a problem, why ask all these questions, and such weird ones at that? It’s like you’re crazy."
"I just want to know how you do it, being aroused by all won," Pei Liyan finally revealed his purpose.
Stunned, He Zheng froze. He looked at his good brother in disbelief, unable to believe he would ask such a foolish question.
"All won?" He Zheng rolled his eyes, speechless. "What do you take for? I’m not so animal bred for seeding. I just used to play around a bit, and now I’ve decided to nd my ways. No more playing. Do you have to paint like that?"
"Okay, let rephrase it!" Pei Liyan stated, "How do you manage your relationships with different won?"
"Don’t tag with that. I have not been juggling different won."
Pei Liyan looked at him. "Do you believe that?"
"In the past, it was just flirtation, mutual need, and that’s all. Plus, I’ve never been with a woman for more than three months and never juggled multiple won at once. I do have my principles."
Pei Liyan stared at him for a long mont before saying, "I’ve never noticed you having much integrity when it cos to relationships."
"Co on," He Zheng protested, "I have my needs too, right? I’ve got to find sowhere to et them."
Pei Liyan looked at him for a while and said, "Forget it, you don’t understand!"
Realizing his quest was in vain and getting no answers, he stood up and headed out.
He Zheng followed behind. "Actually, you wanted to ask why you’re starting to have feelings for Qiao Rui, right?"
Pei Liyan stopped but didn’t turn around. Hesitating, he said firmly, "Who said I have feelings for her?"
"Alright, you don’t have feelings," He Zheng chuckled. "You have no feelings at all, and you don’t want to sleep with her."
Only then did Pei Liyan turn around, giving him a glance. "She’s not that kind of woman."
"I didn’t say which kind of woman she is. But what exactly do you an by ’that kind of woman’?" He Zheng asked, smiling.
Pei Liyan couldn’t be bothered with him anymore and continued walking out.
He Zheng called out, "If you have feelings, don’t hold back. Seize the day, brother."
"I’m not like you, so indiscriminate," Pei Liyan retorted.
"With your own wife, it’s not considered indiscriminate," He Zheng suddenly beca serious, "I just recently began to feel indifferent and realised I was too casual before. Now I want to find a woman I can settle down with."
"A reford rake makes the best husband, good luck!" Pei Liyan walked out.
He Zheng shrugged his shoulders, standing at the door to see him off.
At that mont, Si Ran ca out the door, just in ti to see him standing in the hallway.
He Zheng was wearing a silk pajama that draped beautifully, accentuating his excellent figure.
Si Ran glanced at him and greeted him, "Good morning, President He."
He Zheng saw Si Ran, suddenly reached out, and scooped her into his arms. With the skill of a playboy, he precisely caught Si Ran, enveloping her into his embrace, then smoothly closed the door behind them.
Si Ran was pressed against the door, taken aback and she looked up into the man’s eyes. Luckily, she kept her composure and did not scream, instead trying to steady her emotions and spoke calmly, "President He, what are you doing?"
He Zheng leaned in close, low and huskily whispering, "When your CEO ca to see earlier, I suddenly rembered sothing."
Si Ran, puzzled, furrowed her brows. "President He, let go first."
"Si Ran," He Zheng didn’t let go, just looked at her and said, "I haven’t been seeing any won recently, haven’t had any female friends, almost forgot I was a man. But seeing you now, I rember I’m still a man."
Si Ran could feel the man’s taut body and that certain sothing.
But she pursed her lips and said, "If President He is not confident about being a man, you can ask your previous companions. I’m sure you’ll get an accurate answer."
He Zheng paused, surprised, then laughed. Leaning closer, he brought his face to Si Ran’s neck. His low laughter rang in her ear, and the warm breath against her neck was scalding.
"Si Ran, do you want to test if I’m a man?"
