Chapter 82

Seeing Yoder's puzzled look, Feng Fei Ming explained to him, "Shen Ming Ye's earlier performance was just to confuse me. He waited so long to finally start moving. Today, you didn't really think he was going to the bathroom, right?"

"His behavior these days is very abnormal, secretly plotting to get the family head token in advance. It is estimated that he will hold an internal meeting to seize power from me when he returns, but I am equally prepared. He will not be able to return to the Patterson family today."

Feng Fei Ming has never concealed his cunning and ruthlessness in front of Yoder because he knew that at the beginning, this man was interested in his decisiveness in business and then slowly fell in love with him.

But now, Feng Fei Ming's indifference was too much for Yoder to bear.

"No...no..." It took a while to digest Feng Fei Ming's words, and Yoder subconsciously wanted to explain for the young man. His behavior was abnormal in the past few days? It was all because he was secretly preparing a gift for you!

He looked at Feng Fei Ming incredulously, not expecting this man to be so cold-hearted. Even he, a bystander, could see the reason for Shen Mingye's actions in the past few days. However, Feng Fei Ming, a person who had been spending time with the young man, had such a big misunderstanding.

What exactly does this person think of Shen Mingye? Is it possible that every move of this young man is ill-intentioned in Feng Fei Ming's eyes?

How much does Feng Fei Ming value the Patterson family in his heart that he would keep treating the youth with such a defensive mindset? Does he not know that everything he has now was taken from the hands of the young man?

Yoder's heart became even colder. Surprisingly, even the youth who was so passionate and sincere could not move this man at all. At this moment, his love for Feng Fei Ming finally dissipated into nothing.

Qing Yun walked towards the backstage of the auction. He stopped a waiter and said, "I want to pick up an item in advance. I already submitted my application last night."

A trace of understanding flashed on the face of the waiter he stopped and led him towards the interior, which was not open to guests.

In fact, even if the application has been submitted, the procedure of early withdrawal of the stored item should not be so simple. After all, there is also the calculation of the fee for breach of contract, among other things.

However, before this auction was held, the top had already explained that if a special customer wanted to pick up an item in advance, they would just skip the other procedures and bring him in.

These staff members were even internally teasing the upper management about this hasty action. It was almost as if the whole event was prepared for this customer picking up his items.

Walking into a room similar to a lounge, Qing Yun sat on the sofa and waited. Not long after, a knock sounded at the door.

"Please come in." Qing Yun didn't expect things to be so smooth this time. Still, he was in a hurry to fetch the token and smash it into Feng Fei Ming's face and leave sharply for Ahaz after giving him a good lesson, so he didn't think much of it.

But he remembered that man had something to do with this organization. Could it be that he was secretly running it?

A man with a mustache walked in. He first took off his hat and gave Qing Yun a bow before straightening his back and asking seriously, "Hello, I am the direct person in charge of this auction, Krever. May I ask if you are Mr. Shen Mingye? Can I identify you?"

"Oh? Doesn't your organization claim to recognize only codes and not people?" Qing Yun raised his eyebrows. He was not in the mood for pretense at this moment and directly asked with sharp words.

The corners of Krever's mouth stilled as he thought that this person was different from what the boss said, ah? The on the point question and the scrutinizing gaze made Krever feel some pressure.

But he still smiled and explained: "This particular item of yours is a bit special. When your father stored the item, he added a condition that if the item is extracted in advance, you must come in person to do so."

Qing Yun stepped forward and let Krever scan his pupils and gave him the transaction code: "I already submitted the application last night. Is the stuff over here now? How much is the amount for the breach of contract?"

After confirming the young man's identity, how dare Krever charge him for the breach of contract. He remembered the boss's order and had to bow: "I'm afraid I need you to go to another place with me, and then you can pick up the items personally."

As soon as he heard Krever's words, Qing Yun's face slowly turned cold: "According to the procedure, at this time you should use the code I provided, use the particle teleporter to directly transmit the items I need, and ask me to pay the breach of contract only. What's wrong with your organization? Why do you still need me to pick up the goods in person?"

"No, no, no...it is really that the items you want to extract are stored in a bit of a special place. I promise not to waste too much of your time!" Krever wiped the cold sweat on his head. He did not expect this youth to be so oppressive when he became angry, but he was worthy of the boss's attention.

Qing Yun coldly glanced at him and lifted his chin to signal him to lead the way. This unusual step did make Qing Yun suspicious. He listened to the tone of this Krever, who repeatedly mentioned that he was told to pick up the item personally, but there was no guarantee that it would be handed to him.

What does this mean? Could it be that he has to go through some procedures when he arrives at the place?

Seeing that he was about to get the item, it now gave Qing Yun a sense of uncertainty. He almost thought that someone was playing a role in the situation.

Krever led Qing Yun into a room and then left.

Qing Yun surveyed the room, which was not a meeting room but a luxurious bedroom. The dark red patterned silk bed sheet in the middle of the bed was glowing under the light. A silk robe was thrown messily on the bed, and the sound of running water was coming from the bathroom on the side.

As soon as he saw this scene, Qing Yun could tell which idiot was responsible for this.

He was about to get his things, and this man suddenly brought him such a show. What is the meaning of bringing him to the bedroom? Did he have to sleep with him for one night to get the token?

The veins on Qing Yun's head throbbed. Initially, when the man sent him the code and brought forward the time of the auction to today, he thought the man finally understood things for a while, but now it seems he was too naive.

Qing Yun walked towards the table, where a small box was placed. If he was right, this was what he was looking for. When he opened the box, a ring with the Patterson family crest was lying inside.

He was just about to ignore the man in the bathroom and take the box and leave, but when Qing Yun turned around, he happened to bump into the man's wet chest.

Ahaz held the youth in his arms. He lowered his head and sniffed the fresh scent on the side of the boy's neck. He did not let go and sat at the table while holding the boy.

"You want to leave after taking something of mine? Hmm?" The man's husky voice tinged with flirtation rang in Qing Yun's ears.

"This was originally my stuff, and now I'm just coming to take it away, Mr. Ahaz!" Qing Yun struggled twice and failed to break away from the man's embrace. Instead, he rubbed the man's loose bathrobe away, and his own cheek was directly pressed against the man's hot chest.

"Yours? Or are you going to give Feng Fei Ming?" Ahaz pressed the young man against his chest, not letting him see the sadness and anger in his eyes.

"What's mine can be given to whoever I want." Responding to him was the other's muffled voice.

But the person you want to give it to doesn't deserve to be treated like this! Ahaz roared in his heart but couldn't bear to tell the truth.

He picked up the youth's chin, looked him straight in the eyes, and said, "Now that it's here with me, it should be mine."

Qing Yun simply had to laugh at the man's rogue behavior: "But I have the code, and I can also give the amount for the breach of contract. According to the deal, I can take the item away."

"Baby, you're so naive." Ahaz cupped the young man's chin and moved closer to give him a light kiss on the lips, "The rules are all set by me. Others can take things away like this, but not you. You have to exchange yourself for..."

Saying that, the man lowered his head to kiss the youth's lips again.

Qing Yun turned his head to the side and raised his hand to block the man's handsome face. He sneered in his heart: Huh, bold enough to dare to come to him with this overbearing president routine. In that life, Ning Qian Yuan was not taught to behave, was he?

The more Qing Yun thought about it, the angrier he was. He was looking forward to getting his stuff quickly, hurrying up to finish the task, and then running over to live a good life with this man. But in the end, it was this guy who is giving him a hard time?

Angry, Qing Yun simply moved his hand and stood up to a slap on the man's dog head. I asked you to do something for me!

Ahaz was dumbfounded when Qing Yun hit him. Although he could have easily broken the boy's slim arms, he did not dare to resist at all. He could only hold his head and let himself be beaten, and his heart was unprecedentedly flooded with grievances.

The young man was obedient to Feng Fei Ming, but he could not tolerate even such simple remarks from him?

After two hits and looking at the man holding his head and cowering with an aggrieved look, Qing Yun's heart was filled with discomfort.

This man does not carry memories of each world as he does and does not know the tasks he has to complete in each world. It is already good to be able to follow him accurately from world to world and recognize him every time. How can he ask for more?

Moreover, his performance in this world towards Feng Fei Ming is estimated to have really made the man devastated. That's why he came up with this idea of taking him by force.

To be fair, if it was the man who had to be with others because of some need, even if he knew it was fake, Qing Yun would have exploded, okay?

In fact, Qing Yun does not know that this is the way the man racked his brains to come up with. He did not feel comfortable letting Qing Yun follow Feng Fei Ming but was also afraid that Qing Yun would be sad to know Feng Fei Ming's intention to kill him, so he wanted to forcefully keep him around, isolate his contact with Feng Fei Ming and deal with Feng Fei Ming himself.

Even though he had to endure the risk that the person he loved most would dislike and even hate him.

"Sorry." Qing Yun took the man's furry head into his arms and gently stroked it, "I really need this thing, can I have it?"

Ahaz wrapped his arms around the young man's waist and uttered with a muffled voice: "If it's you who wants it, whatever it is, I can give it to you. Even if you want to give it to others, it's fine, but don't give it to Feng Fei Ming, okay?"

Because when he gets it, he will put away his pretend tenderness towards you, and even...

"But this is the gift I planned for him."

"Do you love Feng Fei Ming?" Ahaz asked bitterly.

Qing Yun froze and opened his mouth, but he could not answer even with his acting skills. It was because what he was doing now was to collect a debt for Shen Mingye, a need to complete his own mission. But if he told this man now that he loved Feng Fei Ming, it would be an attack on the person he loved most.

Seeing the youth's silence, Ahaz finally couldn't help but say his anger towards Feng Fei Ming: "But he doesn't love you at all. Do you know what kind of eyes he is looking at you with? He kept you just to get the token to get the Patterson family once and for all, and he even planned to kill you when he got the token today!"

Ahaz froze after saying this. He shouldn't have said it. The young man will be very sad to know this.

Ahaz thought that the youth would fiercely refute his words, but he did not say anything. The other just lowered his head and silently fondled the pattern on the box in his hands.

The young man's silence made Ahaz panic, and he could not help but smack himself twice. How could he not resist saying these words out loud?

"I don't believe it." The youth bowed his head in silence for a long time before he spoke out, "Even if what you say is true, I still have to see it for myself."

The youth lightly jumped off Ahaz's lap after saying these words and ran outside, dodging Ahaz's obstruction.

"Mingye! Come back!" Ahaz subconsciously chased after him. This whole venue was under his surveillance, so of course, he knew what Feng Fei Ming and Yoder were talking about. If he let the young man hear...

He had just chased after the door when he realized that he was dressed tightly in a bathrobe with the collar still wide open and couldn't help but scratch his hair in annoyance: "Damn!"

Ahaz ordered someone to stop Shen Mingye while he hurriedly changed his clothes.

"Feng...in your heart Shen Mingye is such a person?" Yoder wanted very much to tell Feng Fei Ming the truth about what the young man had done but could not because of his promise to Shen Mingye.

The way he looked at Feng Fei Ming had utterly changed: "Don't you feel even a little bit of his love for you?"

"Yoder, it seems that you have been deceived by him." Feng Fei Ming did not answer his words positively.

Love, of course, he felt it. But it was that moment of indulgence that almost cost him his work, wasn't it? Feelings are false, and only the interests in hand are the most useful thing.

Feng Fei Ming's experiences since childhood have made him very insecure. Other than competing, he could not find any way to settle down. He is very contradictory: he is the one who most desires true love and also the one who most despises such feelings.

And even towards Yoder, his feelings with him were only after careful consideration and planning.

The marriage between the Elmond and Patterson families is essentially a merger. If the marriage can be changed to him, even if the Patterson family is included under the Elmond banner, he is still the rightful head of the Patterson family.

Therefore, even when he was most moved by Shen Mingye, he did not give up the idea of being with Yoder.

Looking at Feng Fei Ming's misunderstanding of the youth, Yoder was so torn that he almost wanted to tell Feng Fei Ming everything that the young man had asked him to keep secret. "Feng Fei Ming, wake up! Have you forgotten, he practiced the tea art hard, just because you like it. He also wrote a lot...for you."

Suddenly, he stopped himself. Yoder looked at Feng Fei Ming, and his eyes slowly sank. He would not stay with Feng Fei Ming and definitely would not let the young man continue to follow him.

Feng Fei Ming misunderstood Shen Mingye?

Then let the misunderstanding be. When the two are separated because of the misunderstanding, when the youth knows Feng Fei Ming's attitude towards him and is sad, he can take advantage of the situation to replace Feng Fei Ming in Shen Mingye's heart and make up for their marriage contract.

The marriage has been broken off? That's not a problem at all. The Elmond family hasn't given a response yet, right? He simply has to ask his father to insist on the marriage contract between the two families and coax the young man. Then, everyone will only think that the previous marriage contract was broken just because he and Shen Mingye had a falling out!

When the two are married, Shen Mingye's love will belong to him.

Feng Fei Ming was also impatient listening to his explanation for Shen Mingye: "Alright, Yoder, you should stop talking. I kept him simply to get the family head token and completely take charge of the entire Patterson family. Otherwise, with my character, how would I keep a potential competitor?"

"In short, after the token arrives today, there is no need for him to live."

"As for his love for me?" Feng Fei Ming snorted, "I'm not interested in a cowardly person like him at all. Even if it's true, I don't care at all because it's you that I love."

"Click."

The door opened.

The young man, with eyes wide open, looked at Feng Fei Ming. A pair of amber eyes seemed too shocked, too disbelieving, and showed an extreme emptiness.

Seeing his shadow in the youth's eyes, Feng Fei Ming was startled, and a plea seemed to subconsciously overflow from his heart.

Pleading for what? His words weren't wrong, were they?

The young man walked into the room step by step. Feng Fei Ming saw the box carefully held in his hands, and an unbelievable speculation in Feng Fei Ming's heart surged.

There had been silence for a long time before Shen Mingye seemed to have digested what he had just heard outside the door.

Yoder looked at the pale young man and wanted to say something. He thought the youth would cry, but Shen Mingye did not.

His eyes seemed so dry that they could not shed tears.

After an unknown period of time, the young man's dry and hoarse voice slowly sounded:

"At the funeral of my parents, many people came. Each of them had a heavy face as they discussed who would take on the family and what to do with the business. Only you, you alone, came up to me and asked: 'Are you okay?'"

Hearing Shen Mingye's words, Feng Fei Ming froze. He could no longer remember this scene from back then.
