Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 70: First World: Perfect Recipe For A Brutal Blood Bath

Qie Ranzhe was glad when Lin Jingxie didn't shy away from his hand which meant his plan to customise Lin Jingxie's to his touches was progressing well even when the man was mad at him. Wen Qinxi felt annoyed each time Qie Ranzhe whispered to him but didn't show it on his face replying in a sullen tone, "Mn," as he finished off the little bird and passed it along to Shuen.

A pleased Shuen admired the cute bird saying, "Lin dage you are so awesome. Are you looking for a girlfriend l can introduce you to some-.....ouch!" after being pinched hard on his thigh under the table. He looked around for the culprit but everyone was fixed on Lin Jingxie as though holding their breath anxious to hear the answer.

"Yes sur-," said Wen Qinxi in a joking manner that was before a piece of Kiwi was stuffed into his mouth by Qie Ranzhe instantly shutting him up.

Shuen not getting the hint foolishly opened his mouth again saying, "l only know boys so can l introduce you to on- ah! Fuck!" after being pinched on his other thigh. Both Machu and Xie Ruen had pinched him on two separate occasions to shut him up.

Wen Qinxi looked up only to see all of them peering at him as though waiting for an answer but before he could say something, Qie Ranzhe interjected reprimanding them, "Too nosy," before feeding Lin Jingxie a carefully sliced piece of durian.

With the surprisingly sweet durian stimulating his taste buds, Wen Qinxi seemed to forget what day it was commending Qie Ranzhe, "Mmmm...that's surprisingly yummy, it tastes sweet," with his anger instantly dissipating before he carried on folding a whale for one other boy missing an origami of his own.

"You want another one?" asked Qie Ranzhe in a low magnetic voice while holding out the chopsticks pinching another slice. Wen Qinxi didn't even look at him submissively opening his mouth entirely focused on what he was doing. He finished folding a panda and a dragon for Manchu and Qie Ranzhe respectively while being fed like this. The boys were holding back smiles while timidly averting their gaze from such a scene stuffed with dog food.

By the time Wen Qinxi was done, his fingertips were sore handing over the dragon to Qie Ranzhe. A thrilled Qie Ranzhe grinned foolishly while staring down at the tiny dragon Lin Jingxie had made for him. To be exact, he looked like a little kid who had just seen a kite fly for the first time. Just as he carefully put it away, the door was suddenly pushed open followed by Zhao Huangzhi strolling in as though she owned the place.

The boys didn't waste any time instantly clearing the table at the speed of light unwilling to be caught up in this impending storm. Machu's muscles suddenly hurt recalling how Qie Ranzhe pushed him the other time when he tried to stop him from killing Zhao Huangzhi. He looked at Qie Ranzhe with an expression that seemed to say 'can l please leave'. Qie Ranzhe slightly nodded at Machu gesturing for him to leave.

Qie Ranzhe subconsciously placed his hand on Lin Jingxie shoulder about to ask her why she barged in as though walking into a toilet but before he could utter a single word, he was ruthlessly pinched right in the waist by Lin Jingxie. Wen Qinxi wasn't stupid, he might have a low EQ but his IQ was high. He already understood that Qie Ranzhe didn't like Zhao Huangzhi even a toddler could come to the same conclusion. He didn't know where he was going to find another girl who could melt this aloof prince's heart so they could pass this level. He decided to think it through when Qie Ranzhe joined the guild but they still needed the sword in Zhao Huangzhi's pocessesion which is why he pinched him to be nice.

Zhao Huangzhi sat next to Qie Ranzhe all smiles like she had seen a majestic wonder but her expression soon froze when she saw how close these two were. Sensing her discomfort, Wen Qinxi swatted Qie Ranzhe's arm off his shoulder while nervously laughing. "Miss Zhao its been a long time," said Wen Qinxi with the hairs all over his body raised in alarm. Zhao Huangzhi might be smiling but her aura was tremendously murderous.

She fake smiled at Lin Jingxie and placed her hand on Qie Ranzhe's arm saying, "Ran-ge can we talk. I brought you something I think you will love," while pointing towards the long wooden box in her servant's hands.

Wen Qinxi understood attempting to give them some privacy but his arm was painfully grasped by Qie Ranzhe forcing him to keep still. He proceeded to remove Zhao Huangzhi hand from his arm saying, "Someone might misunderstand your actions," in a cold tone.

Zhao Huangzhi glanced over at Lin Jingxie who looked like a cat trapped in a corner by a bunch of dogs. She was about to say something else when Lee Jienjie sudden burst in with a delighted smile aimed at Lin Jingxie saying, "Jin-ge! l am sorry l am late hope you didn't wait for long," before pulling him by the arm.

'Why are all the girls in this game so unreserved. This shelter will soon be mistaken for a fuckin brothel if beautiful girls keep walking in and out,' he thought with a perplexed look on his. He didn't have an appointment with Lee Jienjie but was willing to be dragged away by her. 'Hell, even if she drags me to the fuckin south pole l will willingly follow her. I would rather freeze to death than stay here,' thought Wen Qinxi about to let Lee Jienjie whisk him away but he was restrained yet again. This time Qie Ranzhe had laced their hands together like a tangled ball of wool refusing to go.

Wen Qinxi looked at him with a 'what the fuck expression' but Qie Ranzhe was glaring at Lee Jienjie as though he wanted to kill her if she dared steal him away. The atmosphere awkward meter shot up to a hundred in just a split second with Zhao Huangzhi glaring at Lin Jingxie, Lin Jingxie glaring at Qie Ranzhe and Qie Ranzhe glaring at Lee Jienjie. It was a perfect recipe for a brutal blood bath.

Wen Qinxi had to remove himself from the equation otherwise a volcano would erupt with no warning. He spoke in a low tone at Qie Ranzhe saying, "I will be right back. Just give me a minute, okay?" He seriously thought Qie Ranzhe didn't want to be left alone with Zhao Huangzhi on account of what happened the other day and needed someone to accompany him.

Sensing a golden opportunity, Qie Ranzhe shamelessly took advantage saying, "I will let you go on one condition." Zhao Huangzhi who had witnessed their secret exchange was violently bubbling in anger but successfully held back planning plenty of ways to murder Lin Jingxie. It was all his fault involving himself with her man and had to die a miserable death.

"What condition?" asked Wen Qinxi struggling to separate their hands.

"Promise me you will sleep here tonight," he said while tightening his hold, "or you aren't going anywhere." Wen Qinxi's poor fingers were squeezed till they were pale and throbbing. He had no choice but to agree and only then did Qie Ranzhe let him go. With newfound freedom, Wen Qinxi scuttled away with Lee Jienjie leading the way while the system made an official announcement.

"Congratulations boss, Zhao Huangzhi wants to kill you!"

Wen Qinxi, "..."
