Villainous Sick Beauty Chapter 63

TL: Hua

---

Qin Chaoyan’s residence was still the same small rental house as before. Ye Rongxu wanted to give him a surprise, but he didn’t tell him even when he was downstairs. Since the old building lacked an elevator, Chen Jiang carried the person upstairs after they exited the vehicle. Liang Peng and the other bodyguard helped carry the gifts and wheelchair.

When they got upstairs, Ye Rongxu asked Chen Jiang to put him back in the wheelchair. He deliberately tidied up his beautiful and clean-cut formal wear, and then he raised his hand to knock on the door reservedly.

This was the first time he cared so much about the birthday of someone other than his family. Would Qin Chaoyan be surprised? He would definitely be.

He couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly. After noticing, he quickly suppressed it and pretended to cough twice, suppressing the excitement and anticipation in his heart.

However, after knocking twice, no one responded. He knocked again, but still got no response.

Ye Rongxu was stunned for a moment, and then he knocked three times in a row until his knuckles turned slightly red, but still no one opened the door.

Ye Rongxu: “…” Did I knock too softly?

“Uncle Chen, you do it.” He controlled the wheelchair, backing up a bit.

Chen Jiang stepped forward, raised his hand, and knocked a few times. The sound was indeed louder than Ye Rongxu’s knock.

This time the door opened quickly, but it wasn’t the door of Qin Chaoyan’s house. It was next door.

The resident next door was an old lady, who half leaned out from behind the door to look at their group… Except for Ye Rongxu, the others were all wearing black suits as if they were a group of gangsters. She asked vigilantly, “Who are you people? Why are you knocking on this door? If you dare to mess around, I will call the police.”

Chen Jiang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly turned around to explain: “Hello, old lady, we are friends of the resident 602. We know him.”

He looked righteous that it was easy for people to believe him, but when the old lady saw the other black-clad men, she became alert and said, “Friend? Why haven’t I heard Xiao Qin say that?”

Xiao Qin?

Ye Rongxu hurriedly pushed people aside, poked his head out from behind the two bodyguards, and said hesitantly, “Are you… Grandma Zhang?”

The old lady was stunned when she saw him. The young man in front of her had red lips and white teeth, a beautiful face, and an especially well-behaved voice, which made people unconsciously let down their guard.

She nodded subconsciously, but before she responded, Ye Rongxu continued to smile and said, “I heard Qin Chaoyan mention you. His face was… beaten by someone before, and you gave him face cream to cover it up.”

“Oh.” The old lady appeared less worried and nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, you are…”

Ye Rongxu suddenly became shy and embarrassed when saying, “I’m his… boyfriend.”

His voice became a little quieter.

Grandma Zhang immediately realized and said happily, “You are Xiao Ye?”

Ye Rongxu was stunned: “You know me?”

Grandma Zhang said, “Although it’s not often, Xiao Qin is very happy every time he mentions you.”

Then she asked, “Are you here to see him? This is unfortunate. He went to the company an hour ago to work overtime; that’s why he’s not here. Why don’t you come to my house first and sit down first? You can wait here and give him a call to ask when he’ll be back.”

Grandma Zhang warmly received him.

Ye Rongxu’s smile froze. He purposely and sneakily came here to give the other party a birthday surprise, but he went to work overtime.

Isn’t Qin Chaoyan a general manager by name only? The company can’t run without him?

Ye Rongxu was a little confused. When he was thinking about it, footsteps suddenly came from downstairs. Someone was talking while walking upstairs.

“This time, You Bingzhi is behind this. After he was fired by Jiazhao, he has always hated me and Mr. Qin…”

“Did he take a lot of money when he was at Jiazhao? In that case, let’s use this to get him out of this industry.” The person who spoke was neither hurried nor slow, but there was an extraordinary sense of oppression.

And this voice was very familiar, but a little strange.

Familiar because it was obviously Qin Chaoyan who was speaking, and strange… It was the first time Ye Rongxu heard him speak in this tone, like a superior.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the stairs.

Qin Chaoyan’s figure appeared from the corner. He was wearing a black suit, neatly ironed, and his tie was meticulously bound to his neck. His expression was indifferent and calm. When he slightly turned sideways to talk to the person behind him, his raven-black eyelashes blocked some of his uncaring gaze, but it was difficult to block the cold momentum.

Behind him, Manager Lou of Jiazhao was nodding slightly, listening to him speak; his expression was respectful.

This suddenly reminded Ye Rongxu of Qin Chaoyan in his dream. Except for his age, the man under the stairs at this moment seemed to be no different from the one in his dream.

Ye Rongxu was stunned for a moment.

After Qin Chaoyan turned the corner, he soon noticed something strange on the stairs and subconsciously looked up.

The moment his eyes met Ye Rongxu’s, he was stunned for a moment, and then the ice and snow in his eyes melted, and a warm smile appeared.

“Why are you here?” He walked up the stairs quickly; his steps seemed hurried.

This was the Qin Chaoyan that Ye Rongxu was familiar with. He came back to his senses instantly, blinked his eyes, and was about to say something. But suddenly—

“Surprise! Mr. Xiao Qin! Happy birthday, Mr. Xiao Qin!”

A row of black-clad bodyguards behind him suddenly shouted in unison and set off confetti at the same time.

Ye Rongxu: “…”

Qin Chaoyan: “…”

Everyone present was stunned.

After a while, Ye Rongxu turned his head, his beautiful eyes slightly widened: “Who told you to set off fireworks in the corridor?” Who will clean up later?

And did he ask them to shout so loudly? He just told them to say “Happy Birthday” to Qin Chaoyan after seeing him, just like himself.

This is mainly because he suddenly thought that no one had ever wished Qin Chaoyan a happy birthday since he was a child. That’s why he brought so many people. Who knew that this group of bodyguards would make the scene so embarrassing?

Ye Rongxu was so embarrassed that his scalp was numb. Fortunately, Grandma Zhang reacted quickly and said, “Oh, you’re here to celebrate Xiao Qin’s birthday. This is really great. Come on, come on, Xiao Qin, why are you still standing there? Open the door and let your boyfriend in.”

Qin Chaoyan seemed to have finally come back to his senses. Confetti fell on his head and shoulders. He looked at Ye Rongxu with his black eyes, and they seemed to be trembling. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, “Okay.”

Seeing this, Lou Xinyu hurriedly said, “Mr. Qin, since you’re busy, I will go back first.”

Qin Chaoyan nodded, but his eyes were still on Ye Rongxu.

Going up the stairs, he subconsciously pushed the wheelchair first. After a pause, he remembered that the door was not open yet, so he went to open it.

When Ye Rongxu saw him at a loss for the first time, he knew that the other party was really surprised. He smiled and waited for the door to open before controlling the wheelchair and slipping in first.

The bodyguards hurriedly brought the cake and gifts in, but the rented house was too small to accommodate so many people, so they quickly came out and cleaned up the confetti in the corridor.

Due to the limited space, they couldn’t eat the cake together. In the end, it was Grandma Zhang who enthusiastically invited them to celebrate at her home. She also cooked a few dishes and brought out good wine to entertain them.

The bodyguards were not from wealthy families, so home-cooked dishes were more to their taste, and they all praised them.

In addition, the atmosphere at the dinner table was good. Except for Chen Jiang and the other two bodyguards who had to drive, everyone else drank a few glasses of wine.

Qin Chaoyan seemed to be in a particularly good mood today and drank some too.

Ye Rongxu usually doesn’t drink alcohol because of his health, but he recovered a lot after being on the island for a while.

Curious, he quietly put his chopsticks into Qin Chaoyan’s wine glass, dipped a little wine, and quickly retracted them like a thief. Looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly stretched out his tongue and licked it.

Then, he blinked because of the spiciness, like a child who secretly drank adults’ wine.

After sticking out his tongue and licking for a while, he suddenly noticed that something was amiss and looked up in confusion.

Qin Chaoyan, at some point, had been looking at him. His handsome features were slightly drunk, but his eyes were particularly bright, mixed with a hint of depth.

Ye Rongxu froze and instantly felt like he had done something wrong. He quickly put his hands down. After a while, he quietly stretched out his fingers, moved the chopsticks, and put them down as well.

Qin Chaoyan smiled softly. After finishing the meal and the cake, he thanked Grandma Zhang. Then he picked up Ye Rongxu, placed him on the wheelchair, and pushed him back to his place.

The bodyguards were tactful and didn’t follow him, just standing outside the door.

Ye Rongxu remembered that he hadn’t given the gift to Qin Chaoyan yet, so as soon as he entered the room, he excitedly turned his wheelchair to get it. As a result, the room was small, and he accidentally got stuck, so he could only turn to Qin Chaoyan for help.

Qin Chaoyan had no choice but to gently pick him up and put him on the bed and then put the folding wheelchair away.

Ye Rongxu just happened to pick up the painting that was placed by the bodyguard beside the bed, his cheeks colored a little red, but his eyes were hidden in anticipation as he handed the painting over and said, “Here, a gift for you.”

Qin Chaoyan only looked at the packaging and guessed that it was a painting, but when he opened it and saw the content of the painting, he was stunned again—

The handsome and cold young man with black hair sat by the window; his posture was leisurely and elegant, one button of his white shirt was undone, and he tilted his head slightly, as if he was looking at someone with a smile.

Qin Chaoyan paused, looked at Ye Rongxu, and said in a hoarse voice, “I remember I undid two buttons at that time.”

Ye Rongxu snorted: “I don’t want to draw two buttons undone.”

Qin Chaoyan coughed lightly, sat down next to him, and said, “I think there’s one person missing in the painting.”

Ye Rongxu said, “Huh,” leaned over, and asked, “Where is it missing?”

“Here.” Qin Chaoyan pointed his slender finger in the direction of his gaze in the painting and said, “There is one missing Ye Rongxu.”

Ye Rongxu: “…”

“If you don’t want it, give it back to me.” His ears were red, half covered by fine black hair, and he pretended to reach out to snatch it back.

His fingers were slender and white. Qin Chaoyan was afraid that he would hurt them if he used force, so he quickly reached out to stop him and shook his head: “No.”

After a pause, he suddenly put the painting aside, hugged Ye Rongxu tightly, and lay on the small single bed together. He tilted his head and whispered in his ear, “Xu Xu, have I ever said I like you?”

Ye Rongxu’s cochlea itched for a while. He rubbed his already red ears and whispered, “Yeah.”

Qin Chaoyan looked at him without blinking. His slightly drunk eyes seemed not as clear as usual. He asked, “Can I say it again?”

Ye Rongxu hesitated for a moment: “…Are you drunk?”

Qin Chaoyan suddenly hugged him tightly and said in his ear, “Xu Xu, I like you, especially today.”

The voice was cold and restrained, but it was hard to hide a slight tremor.

When all is said and done, he was less than 20 years old. No matter how calm he was, he wasn’t mature enough. The past 19 years had toughened his heart so that the sword of suffering could no longer hurt him, but warmth could easily seep into his heart.

“Thank you for celebrating my birthday today.” He tightened his arms around Ye Rongxu, paused for a moment, and loosened them a little for fear of hurting him.

Ye Rongxu was stunned for a moment and said, “Actually… it’s nothing.”

He paused and whispered, “We should have celebrated with my grandparents and dad, but this is the first year we’ve been together. I want to celebrate with the two of us first, and then…”

His ears blushed as he continued, “We’ll celebrate together as a family in the future.” Then you’ll have a home too.

Finally, he said, “Qin Chaoyan, happy birthday.” Just like what the other party said to him on his birthday.
