Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 555: King Of Pettiness

Such an unexpected encounter took Wen Qinxi by surprise that the smile from earlier froze making him look like the joker after batman refused to acknowledge him. It was like a stiff face minus the makeup making Nu Shen grin with satisfaction.

After seeing these two finally get together she couldn't resist coming over to stir up the ship. A little powerful wave wouldn't hurt anyone, right?

She brushed her long strands from her partially exposed cleavage grasping the attention of the men standing around. She was the very definition of a thirst trap with her red low cut silk dress and a slit that went all the way up to her thighs. What man in their right mind wouldn't take a second glance?

The years had been kind to her accentuating her features into a proper young miss. Wen Qinxi had to admit she looked good but his eyesight wasn't only half-blind but also blinded by the veil of love. This meant the only one in his eyes and the only one who could make him drool was the guy whose view Nu Shen was blocking.

Nu Shen could clearly see his eyes trying to look over her but she didn't move. "Miss Nu, it's been a long time. It's good to see you again," he said but from his posture, he looked like he was ready to make a break for it.

"It's been ages. How have you been? I see you are now a big shot even my dad complimented you. He also said that he wouldn't mind a genius for a son in law at least then he would get an awesome employee at family prices," she said clearly starting something.

"*Cough, *cough..... excuse me?" said Wen Qinxi as he choked on the glass of champagne.

Nu Shen opened her clutch purse and took out some tissue while saying, "How old are you that you have to be this careless... Are you okay?" As she spoke these words, her hands weren't honest. She reached out to wipe Wen Qinxi's face. Coincidentally this little action caught Qie Ranzhe's attention and sure enough, this vinegar jar almost exploded.

The air suddenly became stifling with the intense smell of gunpowder filling the room. Uncle Dai felt a chill that ran through his bones as the expression on his nephew's face darkened. Thinking he was upset about the island thing he suddenly said, "Yo-you can take it. I can even change its ownership to your name just, just don't be angry. You are scaring this old man."

Ever since he was a kid Qie Ranzhe always kept to himself and as long as you didn't start shit with him your life would be smooth but if you provoked him, it would be returned to you twofold.

For instance, when Qie Ranzhe was seven, Dai Yu who was about the same age as well demanded that Qie Ranzhe play with her.

Of course, Qie Ranzhe said no. He didn't want to play the princess and the slave with this spoilt little girl. When he said no in the coldest of manner, Dai Yu wasn't too pleased so she swept everything off Qie Ranzhe's desk breaking his figurines in the process.

Dai Yu was made to apologize and on top of that got spanked by her mother. You would think things would end there, right? Wrong! Two months later Dai Yu came back from shopping and found all her barbie dolls were missing heads even Barbie Ken wasn't spared.

They had to negotiate with a seven-year-old to return the heads and when he finally agreed they were given a treasure map to find the missing heads.

If this isn't being petty then what is? Everyone in the family knows this ancestor is well-deserving of the title King of the kingdom of pettiness without a doubt. The only reason he didn't quickly agree to the Island thing was that he wanted the painting in Qie Ranzhe's office and what better time was there to hustle him for it than now when he was knee-deep in the bliss of love.

Who would have thought his nephew would turn into a demon in human skin? Those eyes were cutting straight into his soul so he yielded. What he didn't realise was that his nephew wasn't looking at him but looking past him which led to this misunderstanding. He was about to calm him down like an FBI negotiator in a hostage situation when Qie Ranzhe just walked away in steady but gut-wrenching footsteps.

When he turned to see where his nephew was going he saw his new in-law being taken advantage of by a girl in a red dress. "Well, the king of petty land won't let that go," he mumbled while wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead.

Nu Shen's slender wrist was suddenly held before it was flung like he just touched something dirty. The meaning seemed clear enough but to Wen Qinxi it played like a fight between a couple in a dog blood drama. That's because he had watched too many of them in Flagship courtesy of that vile system, Jolie.

Qie Ranzhe suddenly pulled him up and held him by the waist in a possessive manner establishing his territory.

His death glare remained on Nu Shen scaring the shit out of her. How could she have forgotten this CEO's feisty temper? There is one thing she forgot that is in this world there are such people one should never prank and this beast right here was one such person.

She wasn't calm at all but she faked it and carried on speaking. Qie Ranzhe was about to drag Wen Qinxi away when she said, "Ah Mr Qie, you misunderstand me. I only came to congratulate you and nothing else. Trust me, no one in their right minds has the balls to rob you so relax."

Nu Shen pulled back her hair once more and continued, "I hope his words were as sweet as the ones in the confession letter he wrote for me in high school.... and yes I read it before you confiscated it from my desk."

Wen Qinxi, "....."

The busted Qie Ranzhe, "....."

Wen Qinxi looked up at him in confusion before his expression abruptly changed to an "oh shit" type of look. This vinegar jar not only stole his love letter but also thought Nu Shen didn't see it.

"Lucky for you I kept this little secret for years. That's because I valued Sailor Luna more than this cute nerd," she said feeling satisfied with Qie Ranzhe's reaction.

"Did you do that?" asked Wen Qinxi with a hint of curiosity.

Nu Shen folded her arms across her chest and said, "Not only that but I also heard you two," as she picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter passing by, "shared a tent at the year-end camping trip but one of you wasn't aware of it. She took a sip before saying, "Yep, your boyfriend is a pervert..... the hardcore kind."

Wen Qinxi, 'WTF.'

He had finally realized something. It seemed Qie Ranzhe was all over him in high school so how dense was he that he didn't see any of this? They even shared a tent for two days straight but he had no idea.
