Wen Mingyi took out his phone and found that recording, letting Si Junduo listen to it. “This was what Xu Jingjie said when he came to talk to me this morning. Xu Jingjie was afraid you’d make things difficult for him, so he sold Wenbo out, saying he only did those things under the other’s instructions. With this, he has made up for his past, so don’t make things hard for him.”

Si Junduo was silent. Hearing the recording with Wen Mingyi and Xu Jingjie, his gaze turned frigid.

“Okay,” Si Junduo replied. “I’ll handle this. You don’t have to do anything else.”

Wen Mingyi hadn’t planned on handling this originally, so he nodded his head and kept his phone. “Then make sure you remember not to tell Wenbo about Xu Jingjie’s actions since I’ve promised Xu Jingjie. I don’t want to go back on my words.”

“Alright,” Si Junduo agreed.

Wen Mingyi finished talking about Wenbo’s matter and saw that it was past eight o’clock. He changed out of his clothes and took a shower. Si Junduo sat at the desk for a while, and sent a WeChat message to Wenbo and Jiang Zimo asking them to meet tomorrow afternoon.

Jiang Zimo was very surprised, and replied: What’s the matter?

Si Junduo did not answer his question, only stating: You’ll know tomorrow afternoon.

Wenbo would not suddenly find a person to embarrass Wen Mingyi for no reason. Not before, not after but he chose to do it at this point in time, after he broke off all relations with Jiang Zimo. This was too much of a coincidence.

Wenbo cared about Jiang Zimo, just like how he cared for Wen Mingyi. Jiang Zimo was the one who felt aggrieved and he would inevitably complain to Wenbo, that he felt Wen Mingyi hated him, that the reason Si Junduo broke off relations was because of Wen Mingyi, blaming it all on Wen Mingyi. In order to retaliate, Wenbo probably approached Xu Jingjie to have him teach Wen Mingyi a lesson as a matter of course. Si Junduo believed this was probably the reason Wenbo did this.

Yes, Si Junduo sighed. For Wenbo, even if Si Junduo broke off ties with Jiang Zimo, he had not driven Jiang Zimo out of the Si company. But Wenbo seemed to have no scruples. So why did he have to care about them?

Si Junduo picked up his cell phone, called Lin Mu and Chen Bin, and instructed one item to each other.

Lin Mu and Chen Bin listened to the content of the call. Though a little confused, they quickly agreed. After hanging up, they always felt that the situation was happening a bit too suddenly.

After Si Junduo finished saying his instructions, he began to start on his work today.

Finishing his shower, Wen Mingyi came out wiping his hair while he held a hair dryer in his hand. He saw an empty socket in Si Junduo’s office area so he plugged it in, and explained, “The bathroom’s socket is a little unsteady. Sometimes there’s electricity, sometimes there isn’t.”

“Will inform the receptionist tomorrow.” Si Junduo took the hair dryer from his hand. “Sit.”

Wen Mingyi originally planned to blow his hair, but since Si Junduo was willing to do it for him, he was happy to relax.

He sat down on the chair and glanced at the computer on Si Junduo’s desk. “You’re not finished yet?”

Si Junduo had always been evasive about work matters, simply saying “En”, before adjusting the hot air, and started to blow his hair.

As Wen Mingyi spoke, his hair was blowing. The lowered head revealed a white neck and together with the soft and ink black hair, he looked incredibly obedient and harmless.

Si Junduo looked at him and thought of what Mu Ziang had said. Towards Wen Mingyi, did he really treat him as a younger brother?

What kind of men did he like? Si Junduo had asked himself but he was also unsure.

Since childhood, there were too many people who had liked him. He had been confessed to by countless people, but there was none who touched his heart. So, what type of guy did he actually like?

Si Junduo was unable to answer this question. He quickly threw the question to the back of his mind. No matter what type it was, it had nothing to do with Wen Mingyi.

He could fall in love with anyone, but not Wen Mingyi. Wen Mingyi had never been in his scope for lovers.

Adjusting the wind of the hair dryer, he prepared to adjust the speed and continue blowing, when in a blink of an eye, the obedient youth on the chair was gone, replaced by a greyish looking silly Husky.

Si Junduo: …

Si Junduo touched his fur. It was dry. He kept away the hair dryer, ending this task.

“Come, let’s trace your paws. With this shape, we can make a keyboard for you.” Si Junduo took out the pen and paper.

Wen Mingyi was very cooperative, letting him draw and gesturing to ask at the same time: When will the cat keyboard arrive?

“Soon,” said Si Junduo, “Should arrive in these two days.”

Wen Mingyi was satisfied. Even if he turned into a cat or a dog, he could still be a dragon on the internet! At that time, it might really be a dog behind your desktop. Hahaha!

Wen Mingyi happily let Si Junduo finish tracing his paws for the keyboard design. Afterwards, they entered the bedroom.

When Si Junduo got up in the morning the next day, he saw that it was not a cat-eared youth lying on the bed this time, but a dog-eared youth instead.

The previous verification seemed to show that this semi-animal form would start at 8 o’clock. Until 8 o’clock, Wen Mingyi would still be in the state of either a cat or a dog. After 8 o’clock, he would transform into a human form but retained the small animal ears and tail.

Si Junduo touched the grey dog ears. Like the cat ears, they were also very nice to rub.

Wen Mingyi felt a little itchy in his sleep, so he tossed about in the embrace. His lips touched Si Junduo’s chin. In an instant, Si Junduo froze. Even his heartbeat seemed to stop in this second.

He unconsciously lowered his head, looking at the youth in his arms. His eyes slowly focused on his soft lips, thinking of the unexpected kiss between them last time. The youth’s lips were very soft, it was a touch Si Junduo had never felt before.

Delicate, gentle and too stunning.

Si Junduo stared. His thoughts were complicated. He slowly lowered his head, but the moment he touched Wen Mingyi’s forehead, his mind cleared and he quickly raised his head.

His heart beat quickly and he gently pushed Wen Mingyi to get off the bed.

Woken by the movement, Wen Mingyi rubbed his eyes. “What time?”

“It’s already 8.”

“Time for waking up, I guess.” Wen Mingyi sighed.

Si Junduo ‘en’-ed and continued, “I’ll wash up first.”

Wen Mingyi nodded and laid in bed for a bit longer.

Si Junduo entered the bathroom. He splashed a good handful of cold water on his face before turning off the tap. He recalled the image just now, thinking of thoughts he shouldn’t have had. He almost kissed Wen Mingyi, and while he was still sleeping! This was too despicable!

This can’t continue, Si Junduo thought. He had to sleep separately from Wen Mingyi. Or even if they didn’t sleep separately, they shouldn’t use the same quilt. Otherwise, sooner or later, something would happen!

As these thoughts swirled around his head, he hurriedly finished rinsing his face and left the bathroom.

Wen Mingyi saw that he was done, so he sat up from the quilt and came down from the bed. Si Junduo noticed the dog tail. It was different from the little orange cat’s tail. A husky’s tail was more fluffy; it looked nice to touch.

Si Junduo: …

Si Junduo held his forehead. What was he thinking ah! At this time! He still wanted to caress the tail!

Si Junduo felt that he was really… too powerless to vomit.

Only when Wen Mingyi entered the toilet, did he see those dog ears. Surprised, he rubbed at them. The tactile feeling was not too bad.

“It’s really kind of like Inuyasha now,” he said aloud. “But Inuyasha is a Shiba Inu¹But actually, Inuyasha isn’t a Shibu Inu, I’m not a Shiba Inu.”

Inuyasha doesn’t have a tail either. Why did Inuyashi, a half demon, not have a tail though?

Wen Mingyi pondered as he brushed his teeth.

At 9am, they finished their breakfast and the dog ears and tail on Wen Mingyi disappeared. Only then did they exit the room.

As usual, Si Junduo sent Wen Mingyi to the film set before driving to his office.
Lin Mu and Chen Bin saw his arrival and rushed up to report their work.
Lin Mu’s job was simple. But Chen Bin’s was a little more complex.

“At this time to cancel the cooperation with Feng, according to Plan B’s implementation. Our side must go and talk again with the head of the Ling He Group.”

“Then we will discuss it again.”

“Already made an appointment with Ling He. The time is set for tomorrow afternoon. Is it alright?”

“Not so late, this afternoon is fine. If Feng does not wish to cooperate, Ling He will be the most suitable partner. That’ll be the final for Feng, no need to hesitate. See if there’s any free slot this afternoon. Arrange a meeting this afternoon with the boss of Ling He.”

“Alright.”

Si Junduo entered the office and switched on the computer. Originally, this project was not something that could only be done with the Wen family. It was just that Wenbo was very proactive with this cooperation. After weighing the pros and cons and great consideration, he had decided to sell to Wenbo for profits. Now it seemed that Wenbo did not want this anymore.

If so, then forget it, Si Junduo thought. Anyway, the loss was not on him.

In the afternoon, Jiang Zimo and Wenbo arrived at the venue early.

Jiang Zimo sat in the private room. Seeing Wenbo come in, he felt a slight disappointment. He thought it was Si Junduo. Now, that person was not Si Junduo, and his arrival made a declaration that this was not going to be a two-person world with Si Junduo but a tripartite discussion.

Stunned, he asked, “Junduo also invited you?”

“Yes.” Wenbo wasn’t surprised.

He had asked Si Junduo yesterday night, and knew that Jiang Zimo would be joining the two of them.

Jiang Zimo was suspicious. The three of them had not gathered together for quite a long time. Calling the two of them out for a meal, what was Si Junduo planning?

Seeing him furrowed his brows, Wenbo asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Just wondering why Junduo would suddenly arrange a meeting with us.”

“Isn’t it just a simple gathering? After all, we haven’t eaten together for a long time. Don’t think too much.”

Jiang Zimo inclined his head, still feeling that this meet up was a little weird.

Si Junduo arrived after the appointed time. “There was some traffic jam on the road, so I came late,” he explained.

Jiang Zimo hurriedly replied, “It’s fine, we just reached too.”

Jiang Zimo also poured Si Junduo a cup of tea. When Wenbo saw this, his heart was a little sour.

Si Junduo sat down and didn’t touch the tea. He looked at the two.

“Wenbo, long time no see,” Si Junduo suddenly said.

It was true Wenbo hadn’t seen Si Junduo in a while. Their relationship was normal. In addition, after Father Si and Mother Si went abroad to expand in the overseas markets, the entire group was handed over to Si Junduo to handle. Si Junduo dealt with work and Wen Mingyi every day. There were many people in his address books that he hadn’t met for a long time already.

“Yes.” Wenbo smiled. “But you being busy is the usual.”

The author has something to say:

When not facing Ming Ming, Ge Ge: I want to sleep separately with Ming Ming! Must be separate! Definitely separate!
When facing Ming Ming, Ge Ge: …I can’t say it.
