MMH Chapter 10

Hao Yunlong was indeed furious.

Ever since he found out that not only had he been abandoned by his financial backer but also personally blacklisted, he had been smashing everything in the hospital room.

Originally, he was waiting for his financial backer to seek revenge for him. However, instead of revenge, he found himself falling into the dirt.

No, not the dirt, but the grave.

The day before yesterday, when he was admitted to the hospital, the doctor took a blood test and discovered that he had contracted HIV.

It must have been from six months ago when he sought excitement at a bar. He was intoxicated at the time and ended up indulging with a few men without taking precautions. The next day, he woke up with a sore backside.

Luckily, Jin Peng was busy and unaware of his promiscuity; otherwise, he would have been the first to finish him off.

Now he considered it karma.

However, Hao Yunlong didn’t believe he was at fault. He blamed God for being blind, blamed Ye Ting for bullying him, and blamed Jin Peng for abandoning him.

Upon learning about his HIV diagnosis, he maliciously wished that Jin Peng, that fat pig, would contract the disease just like him.

But Jin Peng was afraid of death, always taking precautions whenever they were together. It was unlikely that he had contracted it.

This thought made Hao Yunlong even angrier, and he smashed more things.

What infuriated him even more was receiving the news that Ye Ting had snatched the role of the male second lead in the drama.

His agent informed him of the news, and after reading the message, he threw his phone away, trembling with anger throughout his body.

Ye Ting had offended his financial backer and now snatched his role. If he didn’t seek revenge for this, he wouldn’t be able to rest in peace!

Since he had contracted HIV and was on a dead-end path, he thought he might as well go all out.

He clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light.

…

The next day, when He Jing left for work, the opposite villa remained quiet, and the workers had not yet arrived.

He took just a glance and drove away without much concern.

Upon arriving at the office, several executives were gathered at the elevator, seemingly waiting specifically for him. Even Zhou Nianyuan was there, raising his eyebrows at him.

He Jing was puzzled until several secretaries brought 999 bright red roses and placed them in front of him.

Zhou Nianyuan pointed at the flowers, “Do they look nice?”

He Jing: “…Hmm.”

Zhou Nianyuan: “…”

Was that the only reaction?

Zhou Nianyuan learned that his cousin had sent 999 roses to He Jing. He had come to witness the excitement and even planned to tease He Jing a bit. He was disappointed with He Jing’s reaction.

He Jing, in fact, was internally distressed. He had only asked the kid to send flowers every day, not to make such a grand gesture. All he wanted was to give the kid a good scolding.

But he remained calm on the surface, without anyone noticing the roar inside him.

He calmly said, “Send the flowers to my office.”

After speaking, he ignored Zhou Nianyuan and the meaningful gazes of the executives, turning and walking away.

The secretaries followed behind him, carrying the roses. A few girls whispered to each other, gossiping about who sent the flowers.

There had been wealthy young ladies pursuing Mr. He before, offering various flowers, brand-name items, and using various means. However, no one had ever attempted the silly idea of sending 999 roses.

They only had four words for the flower sender: commendable courage.

The girls whispered among themselves, but Xiao Yi remained silent.

It was Xiao Yi who received the flowers. She was one of the secretaries in the assistant’s office, and her desk was conveniently located near the elevator. When there were deliveries, she would usually handle them.

At first glance, Xiao Yi didn’t pay much attention to the roses. The girls in their secretary’s office were all exceptionally beautiful, well-born, and graduates of prestigious schools. They were frequently pursued by wealthy second-generation individuals.

However, when she saw that the recipient was He Jing, she froze in place. It was the flower delivery guy who reminded her to sign on behalf of the recipient.

Among the flowers was a card with a red heart, bearing the words: “Jing-ge, I will love you forever.” It was signed by the ‘World’s Cutest Xiao Ting.’

Xiao Yi knew it was Young Master Ye from the Ye family.

Seeing Ye Ting’s name, she trembled all over.

If it weren’t for the reminder from someone beside her, she probably would have crumpled the card.

She knew about He Jing changing his WeChat name, and she had spent a sleepless night two nights ago. Later, she comforted herself, thinking that although same-sex marriage was legal, two men couldn’t have children. As far as she knew, He Jing was the only son, and his parents were from the countryside. They must care a lot about the issue of descendants. She told herself there was still a chance.

She and the secretaries brought the flowers to the CEO’s office. When they lowered their heads to place the flowers, her eyes were filled with malice. When she looked up again, her usual sweet and charming smile had returned.

No one knew how much she resented Young Master Ye from the Ye family.

He Jing did not notice Xiao Yi’s emotions. Although Yang Xuanyang had mentioned that Xiao Yi had a secret crush on him, he usually dealt with the assistants and secretaries, not directly with her. He didn’t pay any attention to it at all.

As long as it doesn’t affect work, he won’t mind. If it does affect work, he doesn’t need to say anything; his assistant will handle it.

After the secretaries left, he closed the door, looking at the sea of roses, unable to help but smile.

Ye Ting was always so unexpected, yet he could reach into his heart.

The intense red roses were like the young man¹from here on, I’ll change the child to young man since child seems a bit off hehe….‘s surging love, so passionate.

He covered his heart, which was also beating violently.

The young man’s call came just in time. Answering it, the soft voice of the young man came through, “Jing-ge, did you receive the flowers?”

He Jing lowered his head, looking at the bright red roses, and smiled faintly, “Hmm.”

Ye Ting: “I’ll send them to you every day from now on. Don’t accept flowers from anyone else, okay?”

He knew that many young ladies and gentlemen from wealthy families liked He Jing, and two of them were even close friends with the prestigious sisters from the Ye family.

He Jing chuckled softly and remained silent.

He thought, ‘My heart belongs to you, and it has always been you.’

However, he decided to save such cheesy words for when the young man grew older. When the young man truly understood what love was and could be with him until they grew old together, he would then reveal all the suppressed affection in his heart to him.

He just hoped not to scare him in the future.

Ye Ting knew he was busy with work, so after a few words, he voluntarily hung up the phone, not wanting to disturb him.

Of course, before hanging up, he emphasized multiple times that He Jing should remember to send him messages and remember to think of him.

He Jing, indulging him, naturally agreed to everything.

Half an hour later, there was a small meeting. However, He Jing, unlike usual, didn’t review the meeting documents in advance. Instead, he personally found a blue-and-white porcelain vase and inserted nine roses into it.

The blue-and-white porcelain was a unique piece, acquired at an auction. It had been sitting on the bookshelf, finally finding its purpose.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine roses were too many, but he couldn’t bear to throw them away.

After searching for tutorials online on making dried flowers, he found a post suggesting hanging them in a ventilated place for air-drying. After some thought, he hung the roses in front of the French window.

So, when the assistants and secretaries knocked and entered for a brief meeting, they saw the French window adorned with roses.

The scene was truly indescribable.

Yet, He Jing remained calm and composed.

Yang Xuanyang and the other two assistants exchanged glances, all marveling at how impressive Ye Family’s young master was, making their boss behave so… peculiarly.

Only Xiao Yi, her nails digging into her palms, was consumed by jealousy nearing madness.

So, when it was time to leave after work, the assistants and secretaries had all left, but Xiao Yi stayed put, waiting at her seat.

Because He Jing was still in his office.

At 9 p.m., when He Jing came out, she immediately stood up to greet him, saying, “Mr. He, I have some work-related questions. Could you please help me understand them?”

He Jing glanced at her, about to say something when his phone rang—it was Ye Ting calling. He answered, told Ye Ting to wait for a moment, then turned to Xiao Yi and said, “You’re Yang Xuanyang’s secretary, if you have questions, ask him.”

After saying this, he walked towards the elevator.

Xiao Yi felt her head explode. She knew it was Ye Ting calling, and He Jing was entirely engrossed in the person on the other end of the line, not even giving her a second glance.

She clenched her lips tightly, understanding that she should control herself. However, she couldn’t help but feel jealous.

In the end, she took a step toward the direction where He Jing was heading. With an intentional twist of her foot, she screamed.

He Jing, who was consoling Ye Ting about his struggles with today’s performance as the male lead for the first time, turned around upon hearing Xiao Yi’s scream. He saw her disheveled on the ground.

Swiftly diverting his gaze, he told Ye Ting, “Wait for me a minute.” Then, without looking at Xiao Yi, he said, “I’ll call security to come up and take you to the hospital.”

Xiao Yi tightened her fist, unwilling to miss this opportunity. In a delicate tone, she said, “Mr. He, could you… could you help me up?”

She deliberately unbuttoned the buttons of her white blouse, revealing her attractive figure underneath. She had a cunning plan in mind – as long as He Jing got closer, she would use her feminine charm to conquer him…

On the other side, Ye Ting heard the coquettish sounds of a woman and immediately asked, “Jing-ge, is there a woman with you?”

He Jing made a sound of agreement and said, “A company employee.”

Ye Ting grumbled, “Is it that woman named Xiào Yīyí?”

He Jing, exceptionally clever, discerned from the youth’s tone that he cared about Xiao Yi’s presence.

He replied, “Don’t worry about her; I’ve already called security.”

The elevator arrived at just the right moment. He Jing glanced indifferently at Xiao Yi, then walked in without looking back.

Xiao Yi collapsed on the ground.

For some reason, that one glance from He Jing just now felt like he had seen through all her schemes and thoughts. It sent shivers down her spine.
