MMH Chapter 12

The next day, when He Jing woke up, he received a WeChat message from Ye Ting, and the date displayed was 2 a.m.

Wife: [Hubby, the director praised me just now!]

Wife: [I went to sleep. The red date and wolfberry tea today is especially delicious. Love you~ Hubby~ mua~]

Wife: [Forgot to send you my stills.]

Wife: [Photos][Photos][Photos]…

Wife: [Hubby, am I handsome? Do you love me more now?]

There were a total of fifteen photos, captured from various angles.

The youth was dressed in white ancient clothing, carrying a long sword, standing under a blue eave, with light shining on him. Slim waist, handsome face, a rich young master in fresh attire, and on a spirited horse.

He Jing looked through each photo one by one, saved them all, and then replied: [Yeah, good-looking.]

“Good-looking” was a response to whether he was handsome, and “Yeah” was a response to the question of whether He Jing loved him more.

He knew the youth was probably still sleeping at this moment, so he put away his phone and prepared to go to the office.

Before leaving, he glanced at the villa opposite. There were a few piles of cement and sand in the first-floor hall, but no workers were seen. They probably hadn’t started working yet.

On the way, the driver, as usual, brought breakfast from the Zhou family for him. Since there were no servants in the villa on this side, Zhou Nianyuan asked the Zhou family’s servant to prepare breakfast for him, and the Zhou family’s driver came to pick him up and deliver the food.

The morning sun’s crimson light shone through the car window, and He Jing, having finished breakfast, looked at the photos on his phone all the way, feeling very good.

When he arrived at the office, Yang Xuanyang immediately approached him with an apology, “Mr. He, it’s my fault. I should have cleared the person out earlier.”

He Jing gave him a casual glance, “Just handle the person, and that’s it.”

Yang Xuanyang busily said, “Last night, I had the HR department issue the dismissal notice. We’ll provide whatever compensation is due, but she won’t be allowed to appear in any company under the Zhou name ever again.”

He Jing nodded and said, “Prepare for the meeting.”

An employee who had schemed to climb into his bed and was promptly expelled from the company was not something he was concerned about.

Seeing that he didn’t seem to care much, Yang Xuanyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Last night, he received a call from He Jing instructing him to inform HR to dismiss Xiao Yi, ensuring she wouldn’t appear in any Zhou company. He knew Xiao Yi must have done something to upset the boss.

He worked diligently, immediately contacting HR. This morning, Xiao Yi was stopped by security outside the main gate.

He was the one who brought her into the company. Before he knew about Ye Ting’s existence, he had even tried to match the boss and Xiao Yi. Later, he learned that the boss only had Ye Ting in his heart, so he didn’t dare to bring up the matter again.

He thought Xiao Yi had given up, never expecting her to be so audacious, daring to harass the boss at the company.

The boss got angry and kicked Xiao Yi out, a decision he supported. He was just afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.

Fortunately, the boss didn’t take it to heart.

While Yang Xuanyang was feeling relieved, a secretary knocked on the door, holding a bunch of flowers with various colors mixed in – purple, pink, yellow, and white.

The new secretary was still a pretty girl, but much smarter than Xiao Yi. She understood that both bosses were extraordinary individuals, and their status wasn’t something people like them could aspire to. Therefore, she remained quite humble.

This morning, since Xiao Yi didn’t show up, and Mr. Yang had people pack up her belongings, she knew Xiao Yi must have been fired.

A woman who couldn’t recognize her own status, constantly seeking to climb higher, would ultimately not have a good ending.

Thinking of this, she used a sweeter and more professional smile, saying, “Mr. He, these flowers were delivered this morning.”

He Jing nodded and said, “Put them on the table.”

He knew they were sent by Ye Ting. His gaze swept over the peculiar bouquet, and his expression softened.

Seeing his reaction, the secretary smiled and reminded, “These are balloon flowers, representing sincere and unchanging love.”

He Jing looked at the flowers again, his demeanor becoming even more gentle.

Yang Xuanyang gave the secretary an approving look, planning to give her a raise this month.

This kind of secretary was the most suitable. Women like Xiao Yi, who were overconfident and only thought about climbing into bed, were nothing but trouble.

After Yang Xuanyang and the secretary left, He Jing found a vase and placed the flowers in it.

This time, it was a copper-red glazed vase, a gift from a business partner, claimed to be a rare piece from the Yuan Dynasty, and it had been left vacant on the bookshelf by him.

Various flowers mixed together, accentuated by the red vase, appeared unexpectedly charming.

He Jing lightly touched the petals with his fingertips, and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

Unchanging love, huh?

The sincere and unaffected confessions of the young man always made his heart flutter.

At noon, he received a call from Ye Ting, still the energetic and lively voice of the young man.

“Jing-ge, acting is so tiring, but it’s so much fun. The director praised me again… I’m going to the set later. Yesterday, I had scenes with the female lead, and this afternoon, I’ll be with the male lead. There are two scenes with the female lead in the evening. They say both of them are really good actors, and I can learn from them…”

He Jing remained silent, quietly listening to the young man’s chatter. He could imagine the spirited appearance of the young man, and a slight smile curled his lips.

After Ye Ting finished his long string of words, he ended softly with a bit of coquetry, “I just miss you too much… When are you coming to see me?”

Even though it had only been two days since they separated.

He Jing lightly tapped the back of his phone with his index finger.

Although it had only been two days, he couldn’t deny that he also missed the young man.

He recalled the young man’s appearance that day, the soft lips, tempting lip beads, bewitching gaze, and long, straight legs. Every movement and expression seemed like an invitation for a kiss, waiting for him to pluck.

While Ye Ting was still expressing his yearning on the other end, the assistant director called him over for rehearsal. All he managed to say was, “Jing-ge, remember to come see me,” before hastily hanging up.

Watching the phone screen turn black, He Jing lowered his eyes, silently contemplating.

After a moment, he called in the assistant responsible for managing his private life to inquire about his afternoon schedule.

Rarely having any meetings meant he could leave work at a regular hour.

His tightly furrowed brows slightly relaxed; Haicheng was not far from the film and television city, and he could make it back to work tomorrow morning.

However, when he was leaving work, he encountered a small problem in the parking lot.

Xiao Yi blocked his way, wearing a black silk camisole dress that highlighted her figure. She tearfully pleaded, “Vice-President He, are you really so heartless?”

He Jing didn’t even spare her a glance and opened the car door directly.

Xiao Yi clenched her fists tightly. If she missed this chance, she was afraid she wouldn’t have another opportunity to get close to He Jing.

She hardened her heart, untied the straps of her camisole, revealing her chest, and threw herself into He Jing’s arms.

A woman offering herself willingly, he believed no man could resist, especially when she looked tender and innocent, with a voluptuous figure—the type most favored by men.

She didn’t believe He Jing would remain unmoved.

Unfortunately for her, before she could get close to He Jing, a bodyguard from the shadows rushed over and immediately restrained her, rendering her unable to move.

He Jing still didn’t spare her a glance; he simply said to the bodyguard, “Take her to jail.”

Knowing he had a partner, yet still attempting to climb into his bed, such a woman, even if she changed her target, would still be a menace to disrupting someone else’s family. In a way, he considered it a public service to eliminate such harm.

Xiao Yi lay disheveled on the ground, a mix of satisfaction and disbelief. Along with that came hatred and unwillingness.

She couldn’t understand why He Jing wouldn’t even look at her.

Losing her job, and now throwing herself at him with all her might, only to receive such an outcome.

She couldn’t control herself and hysterically shouted, “What does Ye Ting have that’s so special? He’s a man, and he can’t give birth to your child!”

Hearing her mention Ye Ting, He Jing glanced at her with a deep sense of disgust in his eyes.

However, he couldn’t be bothered to waste words with her and simply got into the car and left.

Regarding women like Xiao Yi, he not only felt disgusted but also found their mindset absurd.

In this day and age, it is astonishing that some women still believe that the greatest value in their lives is giving birth to children.

Children…

He had indeed considered this issue. He had already decided that if Xiao Ting liked it, they could adopt, and if the young man didn’t want that, he would treat him like a child for the rest of his life.

*

At the film set, Ye Ting listened to the director’s instructions.

Yesterday, acting opposite the female lead was challenging at the beginning, but after the director explained the scenes to him and the female lead, things went more smoothly.

Today, it was the scene where he encounters the male lead.

The male lead, born in humble circumstances but having numerous adventures, became a prominent disciple at the age of ten. Unexpectedly, eight years later, his entire family was slaughtered, forcing him onto the path of revenge. He coincidentally meets Ye Ting, who plays the role of a young master.

The male lead was played by the newly rising film star, Bai Haoran. Despite being known for films, he accepted the TV drama role after allegedly being drunk and persuaded by the director during a drinking session.

The film star had a good reputation in the industry, at least maintaining a clean image amid many celebrity with scandals.

Ye Ting and the film star acted together, and there was a feeling of being overshadowed.

The film star’s acting skills were indeed impressive.

Ye Ting, however, was not one to admit defeat easily. He gritted his teeth and tried to keep up, but things did not go as planned in front of the camera.

The director called for a break, instructing Ye Ting and telling him to rest for a while.

Ye Ting rubbed his face, silently thinking about how playing the supporting male role was truly exhausting. He even felt it might be easier to play a corpse, lying on the ground for a few hours.

However, thinking of He Jing’s encouragement, he silently cheered himself up again.

He walked to the side to take a break, and his bodyguard opened a thermos for him. He took a sip of the steaming red date and wolfberry tea, feeling a bit more relaxed.

But this tea reminded him of He Jing.

He really missed him.

If only his man were here, he could just throw himself into his arms and absorb the tenderness, reviving his spirits.

The film star approached, smiling, and struck up a conversation with him. “Do you want me to teach you acting?”

Ye Ting snapped out of his thoughts, and glanced at him, not too pleased. He pondered silently whether this person intended to flirt with him or was genuinely trying to help.

If he dared to flirt, he would kick him directly. After all, Hao Yunlong was already injured in the hospital because of him, and he didn’t mind injuring another.

He smiled, “Sure.”

The film star eyed him and said, “But I have conditions.”

Ye Ting crossed his arms, waiting for him to speak.

If he dared to flirt with him, he would attack without hesitation.

The film star said, “Last time I saw your friend, he’s very handsome, and I heard he’s your brother… Can you introduce him to me?”

Ye Ting doubted his ears.

So, this person wasn’t here to flirt with him but had set his sights on He Jing?

The film star looked sincere, “You and your brother probably don’t interfere with each other, right? I’ll be good to him… I can also introduce you to roles as a thank you for playing matchmaker.”

Ye Ting: “…”

If he was flirting with him, he would just beat him up. But this guy was openly hitting on his man, his beloved Jing-ge, right in front of him. He felt like his internal organs were about to explode.

Why endure this? Just beat him up.

He kicked the film star in the stomach.

The film star was unprepared for his sudden attack, clutching his stomach as he staggered back several steps.

Ye Ting approached, delivering another kick.

The commotion caught the attention of the crew, and they hurried over to intervene before Ye Ting could land his second kick.

Frustrated, he pointed at the film star and threatened, “If you dare to have ideas about my man again, I’ll beat you to death!”

The director rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and upon hearing Ye Ting’s words, he almost cried. Was the young master’s temper too explosive? He would easily resort to violence. However, he also understood that it was Bai Haoran who had provoked it despite his implicit warning.

Thinking of this, he glared at the film star fiercely. That’s right!

He pulled Ye Ting aside to soothe the young master.

The film star had been tricked by him, and his character was actually trustworthy. He spoke well of the film star, saying that he liked to tease people, and it must be a joke.

Ye Ting wasn’t buying it, saying angrily, “He had ideas about my man!”

He was about to explode with anger.

The director quickly tried to calm him, “I’ll go and talk to him, make sure he never dares to think about your boyfriend again.”

As the second in command of the Zhou family, if you had the courage to think about it, you should also have the courage to face the consequences.

Ye Ting snorted, “If he mentions my boyfriend again, I’ll beat him to a pulp!”

The young master never bullied others without reason, but he did bully with force!

He had learned martial arts since elementary school, and his combat skills were not acquired for nothing.

The director repeatedly assured him that he would restrain the film star, and only then did Ye Ting calm down a bit.

On the other side, the film star was directed into a dedicated resting room, surrounded by several assistants who applied ointment to the bruises on his abdomen caused by the kicks.

The film star was a bit annoyed, but he wasn’t a petty person like Hao Yunlong. He didn’t hold grudges. He just marveled at Ye Ting’s explosive temper.

This industry had its own rules – unite when suitable, disperse when not. He thought Ye Ting was aware of it, so he brought it up. If Ye Ting wasn’t interested, he wouldn’t force it. Unexpectedly, Ye Ting resorted to violence at the slightest provocation.

A person with such an explosive temper was a first for him.

To make matters worse, the director came over and sternly warned him not to provoke Ye Ting again.

The film star figured out something, it seemed that Ye Ting’s background was quite remarkable.

He heard that Hao Yunlong had offended the young master of the Ye family… Ye Ting, surnamed Ye… could he be that young master?

The film star suddenly felt a bit faint.

Ye Ting was sulking, and the director told him to rest well and prepare for the scene with the female lead in the evening.

As the second male lead and the young master of the Ye family, the director arranged a separate resting room for him. It was now dusk, and the lights were lit up throughout the film and television city. He was eating a boxed meal, looking at the night outside the window, sighing quietly.

While others coveted his boyfriend, he also missed his boyfriend.

Just as he was sighing, the door of the resting room was suddenly pushed open.

He looked up and saw the person he had been thinking about day and night.

Carrying a thermos, He Jing walked towards him slowly.

Ye Ting raised his face, looked over, and unexpectedly saw the person he had been yearning for.

He threw away the chopsticks, pounced directly, wrapped his legs around the man, and exclaimed in joy, “Jing-ge!”

Unfortunately, he was wearing a costume, and the long robe was particularly inconvenient. He only managed to wrap around the man’s calf before slipping down. He tried several times, all in vain.

He felt a bit frustrated.

He Jing chuckled, picked him up horizontally, and placed him on the sofa. “What are you messing around with?”

Ye Ting didn’t speak. Those bright eyes stared straight at the man, and his heart bloomed with joy.

Although they had only been apart for two days, it felt like centuries to him.

His man was really handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose, and thin yet sexy lips. He could hear his heart pounding wildly, and his eyes were full of admiration and love.

He Jing playfully tapped his nose, smiling slightly, “What are you looking at?”

Ye Ting felt a bit shy, curled up in the man’s arms, and hugged the man’s neck tightly, acting coquettishly, “Jing-ge, I miss you so much.”

He Jing protected his back with one hand, not letting him slip off, and used the other hand to caress his earlobe, speaking softly, “What should you call me?”

Ye Ting didn’t react at first.

He Jing didn’t rush him, just kneading his earlobes one after another.

Ye Ting felt itchy from the kneading, and suddenly, he had an epiphany.

His face slowly turned red, not daring to make eye contact with the man. He buried his face in the man’s chest and muttered, “Husband.”

The young voice was as soft as the summer night breeze, even the scent of rouge on his body was intoxicating.

He Jing stiffened all over.

He slowly pushed the young man away, letting him sit by his side, thinking that he should immediately take a cold shower.

Ye Ting sensed the change in the man and felt a bit proud and shy. He reached out to hold the man’s fingertips and whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum, “Husband, I… I’ll help you…”

He Jing’s throat tightened instantly, gazing deeply at the young face blushing like a peach.

This silly young man probably didn’t know how hard he had been holding back.

His eyes gradually darkened, suddenly pinching the young man’s chin and kissing him.

These two days, he had been yearning for the soft lips of the young man and that enticing lip bead. Once he bit onto it, he didn’t let go.

Ye Ting softened in his embrace, unable to utter another word.

They continued like this, neglecting even when the food went cold.

He Jing opened the thermos he brought, saying, “Packed for you. Have a bit.”

Inside were dishes from a well-known private restaurant in Haicheng, including Couple’s Lung Slices and Boiled Fish, Ye Ting’s favorites. He delighted in them.

He Jing smiled and shared a bit with the young one.

He loved spicy food, and Haicheng leaned towards sweet flavors, but unexpectedly, the young one also liked spicy food.

Their tastes even matched. It was destined that he belonged to him.

In the past, he had repeatedly refused, merely because the young one was underage, and there were some factors he hadn’t come to terms with. Now that the young one had grown up, and he had come to terms with everything, there was no need to hold back anymore.

However… he still had to wait until the young one grew up a bit more.

Ye Ting, on the other hand, ate joyfully. After finishing two bowls of rice, he finally put down the chopsticks.

He Jing wiped his hands for him and asked, “Heard you got into a fight again?”

The drivers and bodyguards from the Ye family would report to him regularly, and even Lu Dao would snitch on him.

Half an hour ago, the young one had beaten up the film star. The cause was him, and he couldn’t help but find it amusing and exasperating.

Ye Ting hesitated for a moment, then pouted.

When he fought the film star, he was full of anger. But now, seeing He Jing, he felt wronged. Grabbing onto the man’s lapels, he complained in a soft tone, “Old man, why do you have to be so attractive?”
