Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 349 - 350: Uncle, I Have Insomnia
Huo Qinglin’s handsome face instantly darkened. He hadn’t expected Yan Ting to strike directly at his sore spot. Unable to hold back any longer, he snapped, "Yan Ting, no matter how upright or excellent you are, in the end, you can’t even hold on to the woman you love!"
Yan Ting’s gaze stabbed straight at Huo Qinglin like a knife, a sharp warning in his eyes. "This time, I’ll let it go. That’s my forbearance as your elder brother. But if it happens again... you’ll see what your fate will be."
Huo Qinglin dared not underestimate the weight of Yan Ting’s warning. He sneered angrily, "What can you do to me? Kill me? If you kill me, this company will end up in my dad’s hands sooner or later. By that point, my dad will definitely avenge me."
"Killing someone is the pettiest form of revenge. The cruellest is making your opponent wish they were dead." Yan Ting chuckled coldly.
Huo Qinglin had no response. He knew all too well that whatever Yan Ting did, it was always far more ruthless than anything he could manage. He simply didn’t have the power to fight him yet.
Even their revered father had to show Yan Ting some degree of fear, let alone him, still a fledgling without solid wings.
"Grandpa is so biased!" In the end, Huo Qinglin threw all the blame onto Old Sir Huo.
Yan Ting’s face immediately darkened. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Huo Qinglin didn’t get to witness any good drama but instead left with a belly full of frustration. Thinking about how much cultivation and training his grandfather had poured into Yan Ting for managing the company, he felt like an abandoned child, unloved and unwanted.
Now, he had even lost the woman he loved. Huo Qinglin felt as if the world was treating him with unbearable injustice.
Gu Qianxi left the school and didn’t get home until the dead of night!
Alone, he twisted open a bottle of alcohol and tipped it back in one go.
Yet, the heat coursing through his body showed no signs of subsiding. Through his bloodstream, it only burned hotter and fiercer.
A faint trace of that little thing’s scent seemed to linger on his thin lips. Gu Qianxi stood rigidly for a moment, then leaned weakly against the wall by his side. Bowing his head, he let out a self-mocking chuckle.
He had crossed that line. All his meticulous self-control from before had shattered in just one single night.
He didn’t know whether this marked a promising beginning or the onset of a disaster.
But at this moment, his mind was filled with the image of her clear, smiling eyes, brimming with affection, like a spring breeze blowing straight into the furthest reaches of his heart.
The servants he had hired were all on hourly contracts, and now, the villa was eerily silent.
Suddenly, his phone rang, the abrupt sound causing Gu Qianxi’s barely calmed nerves to twitch slightly.
He glanced at the phone and, unsurprisingly, saw that it was Tong Keke calling.
He let out a wry smile, steadied his breath, and answered.
"What’s the matter?"
"Miss you!" Her syrupy, teasing voice carried a hint of laughter. It had an indescribable sweetness as it echoed in his ears.
The fire he had barely managed to suppress flared up again in an instant because of her words.
"Keke, it’s late. Get some sleep."
"How could I possibly sleep? My mind is full of you right now. If I don’t hear your voice, I’m going to go crazy." Tong Keke had just taken a shower and was rolling around on the bed as if she were stir-frying vegetables. The blush on her cheeks refused to fade away.
The moment she thought about how she had been kissed so forcefully and domineeringly by her uncle at the door earlier, her heart started racing uncontrollably.
"Stop overthinking. You have class tomorrow." Gu Qianxi’s voice deepened slightly.
"But I want to hear your voice a little longer. Uncle, sing a song for me," Tong Keke said brazenly.
