When Lu Zhi left the Huarong guild, many people saw his unusually flushed lips, and the elusive Boss Shen Qi following behind him.
Gossip is human nature, and after they left, the people at the Huarong guild swarmed together, discussing excitedly.
"So it's true."
"I thought it was just to fool our vice guild leader."
"Why wasn't I born male? Maybe I would have had a chance."
"What are you thinking? Is it about gender? It's about the person, if you're ugly, don't even think about playing for keeps."
"Go away, you're discriminating against ugly men."
...
Lu Zhi's fingertips caressed his tingling lips, secretly relieved to have escaped.
It was just that this person occasionally went crazy; he didn't know what the problem was.
Never mind, it's better not to ask, for fear that if he asked, he wouldn't even be able to leave the conference room.
Lu Zhi leaned out of the car window, his fingertips chilled by the wind. He turned to Shen Qi, who was driving, "Your dad is looking for you, why am I tagging along?"
"I want you to accompany me," Shen Qi's sweet words came out effortlessly. He controlled the steering wheel with one hand, his sapphire blue shirt sleeves rolled up, and the red string on his wrist was particularly eye-catching.
Lu Zhi's expression was blank. He propped his chin with one hand. "Do two men in love have to be so clingy and stay together all day? Isn't that a bit melodramatic, Shen Qi~"
Shen Qi glanced at Lu Zhi's flushed ears and chuckled, "Yes, I'm melodramatic."
Lu Zhi pursed his lips. It wasn't fun without some bickering. Suddenly, he raised his hand and hooked the red string on Shen Qi's wrist, touching the pearl-sized silver bead. "This red string, it looks a bit familiar? Like I've seen it somewhere..."
"Guess?" Shen Qi hit the brakes to wait for the red light and looked at him, "If you guess correctly, you get a gift."
"Are you trying to coax me like a child? A gift, really." Lu Zhi disdained, but he was indeed curious about the red string and silver bead on his wrist, and it did look familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere recently.
The string of this red string bead was not ordinary woven rope; it was like a special material. When exposed to sunlight for a long time, the red string would gradually turn dark gold. The silver bead, the size of a pinky pearl, was intricately carved with a hollow design. Looking inside, nothing could be seen.
"We're here." Shen Qi stopped the car by the roadside, and a smart robot automatically drove the car into the underground garage.
Lu Zhi glanced at their destination, the Special Headquarters. It hadn't even been a month since his last visit. "Why is your dad looking for you here?"
A patrolling security guard saluted Shen Qi. After his optical scanner scanned, the gate slowly opened.
"To process my withdrawal from the Special Department, I need to go in person." Shen Qi lazily lowered his gaze to his optical scanner. "Troublesome."
Lu Zhi was confused. "Why are you withdrawing for no reason?"
Shen Qi glanced at him and chuckled, "Well... the reason is that I already have a family. If I don't keep a close eye, I'm afraid someone will run away. How will the country compensate me with a wife?"
Lu Zhi: ???
"Can you come up with a more ridiculous excuse? Also, whose wife am I?" Lu Zhi rolled his eyes.
Shen Qi's optical scanner swept past the checkpoint gate, the corners of his mouth curling up. "No, no, no, this is not an excuse, it's a fact, darling~"
Down the corridor, two familiar figures were walking towards them.
"Little Qin Qin, still blaming yourself?" Loris's blonde hair was particularly striking at headquarters. He walked over with his arm around Qin Huai.
"Shut up, I told you I'm fine. Can you just let me enjoy some peace?" Qin Huai shoved Loris's hand away with disgust and strode towards another passage, not noticing Lu Zhi and the other person.
Loris drooped dejectedly, but his eyes lit up when he saw Lu Zhi. "Long time no see, Little Lu Lu~ I heard you and Captain Shen got married, do I need to give you a wedding gift? We're all so familiar, we can skip the cash, right?"
Lu Zhi: ???
Lu Zhi's face darkened. "When did I get married? How come I don't know?"
Shen Qi burst out laughing beside him. "Well, it seems I didn't call my wife the wrong person."
