The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else Chapter 23.1

Genius Artist – Replacement of the White Moonlight for the Rich CEO

Lu Shijin laid down beside Huo Qi right before dawn, paying careful attention to his movements.

When Huo Qi appeared to be rousing, he closed his eyes and hurriedly pretended to be asleep, making it seem as though he had been sleeping there for the entire night.

Huo Qi slowly woke up. Due to his hangover, he had completely forgotten how he returned to the hotel, so he naturally did not remember the questions Lu Shijin asked him.

He definitely didn’t know about the great scene that had played out on the sofa— merely a wall away— last night.

“Shijin?” Huo Qi patted Lu Shijin’s back, trying to wake him up.

Lu Shijin pretended to have been woken up by him, rubbing his eyes slowly and yawning. “What is it? What’s the time?”

Huo Qi grabbed his phone to check. It was almost eight. He had made an appointment with a big businessman for nine. He would be late if he didn’t hurry.

Huo Qi didn’t have time to ask Lu Shijin about what happened after he blacked out, hurrying to wash up.

But when he got out of the bed, he found himself still dressed in his clothing from yesterday, a strong scent of alcohol on his body.

Huo Qi was very unhappy, “You let me sleep like this?”

Lu Shijin sat up, innocently looking at him.

“I did want to help you wash up, but you were too heavy for me to lift, and you kept clinging to the bed, not willing to go wash up. Oh right, you kept on repeating something like “Ruan Ruan” yesterday, what is it? Someone’s name?”

Huo Qi felt awkward. He didn’t realize he’d spoken so much when he got drunk.

“You heard wrong, I was saying that this mattress was too soft*, making me not sleep well.”

*‘soft’ has the same pinyin as the “Ruan” in Ruan Siheng, just in a different tone

Lu Shijin nodded with understanding, “I see.”

Huo Qi could only go to the bathroom to shower, as he couldn’t go to the appointment smelling like alcohol.

As he stripped, he pretended to casually ask, “I drank too much yesterday, what happened to Huo Lian?”

Lu Shijin replied, “He also drank too much. I don’t know where he went after we left. Husband, you didn’t need to go so far for me, it’s enough for me to know that you have me in your heart.

Huo Qi felt his head pound the moment he thought of Huo Lian, venomously saying, “It’s such a shame he didn’t drink himself to death.” He looked at Lu Shijin. “Shijin, I didn’t refuse to acknowledge our relationship on purpose yesterday. Huo Lian is my uncle after all, and he’s never liked me. If I admit our relationship, I can’t be sure that he won’t tell my father and grandfather. I’m scared that they’ll go after you, that they’ll break up our relationship. Do you understand?”

Lu Shijin nodded with a face full of understanding and emotion. “I do understand. I believe in you, husband.”

“It’s good that you do.” Huo Qi smiled, unbuttoning his shirt and suddenly saying coldly, “Did I say anything else yesterday after getting drunk?”

“No, you just made a fuss after coming back and then fell asleep. Why?”

Lu Shijin’s gaze was clear, without a hint of hiding anything, making Huo Qi believe in him.

Huo Qi’s brows slowly unfurled, “Nothing, I was just afraid that I bothered you. Okay, now I have something to do this morning. Obediently stay in the room and I’ll come back and play with you after I’m done.”

Lu Shijin naturally agreed happily.

When Huo Qi went into the bathroom, the smile on Lu Shijin’s face instantly vanished.

Huo Qi was showering. Lu Shijin laid on the bed and texted Huo Lian.

Lu Shijin:【You can start the things about Ruan Siheng.】

Huo Lian:【It’s 2 AM in China right now.】

Lu Shijin:【Then congrats, it’s even cheaper to buy hot searches right now.】

Huo Lian:【Who’s paying for the hot search?】

Lu Shijin:【??? How many times have you bedded me? And you still want to bring up money? Do you think I don’t take money?】

【Huo Lian has transferred 52000.00】

Lu Shijin:【???】

Huo Lian:【Your payment. Should I send these by day or by month?】

Lu Shijin:【. . .】

Fine, I can’t defeat you.

Huo Lian:【Has he still not left?】

Lu Shijin listened to the sounds coming from the washroom. Huo Qi seemed to be finishing up.

Lu Shijin:【Will probably leave soon.】

Huo Lian:【I called for breakfast, come to my room to eat?】

Lu Shijin didn’t have time to answer before Huo Qi came in. He had already finished dressing up and came in to take his watch.

Although Huo Qi was right at the bed, Lu Shijin didn’t put his phone down and continued texting Huo Lian.

He found that he was being influenced by Huo Lian, beginning to enjoy the adrenaline from “cheating,” addicted to the feeling just after a couple times.

Lu Shijin:【If I go, are you going to eat breakfast or me?】

Huo Lian:【Can’t I eat both? It’s not like there’s any harm. Come over, I’ll be sure to feed you until you’re full. 】
