Saving the overbearing CEO (BOYLOVE)

Wen Qinxi was struck dumb unhesitantly removing Qie Ranzhe's hand off his wrist before responding vaguely, "What do you think?" exiting the room with a coy smile that could wreak-havoc in Hades. Machu gladly showed him out that is before he glanced over to his doomed Marshal while tsking within.     

'You fuckin flirted with him, didn't you?' said the excited system as he exited the car right outside the spa slash hotel harbouring the base.      

'He started it,' complained Wen Qinxi with his heartbeat quickening as he recalled the scene that took place thirty minutes ago. While replaying the scenes in his head with a beatific expression, his communicator suddenly flashed a notification.     

"Fuck!" he yelled looking distraught quavering in anger. His face turned deadly pale with all the blood drained from his face. He could feel his heart sink when he read the earth-shattering message. The concerned Xianxi team members tried to call their leader out of his trance when they saw him frozen stiff in the open elevator.     

Xiao Hua peeked at the communicator and couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment. This vicious cycle was starting all over again making him feel utterly helpless. He patted Zhao Xieshu's shoulder suggesting, "Xie Xie how about we go have some fun tonight? Come on, work can wait," while leading his half-dead friend into the base.

The words 'I will go to war, fight for you and win' were constantly replaying in Qie Ranzhe making him unable to focus on his dinner plate. He wanted to write Zhao Xieshu a message but didn't know what to say plus they had only been apart for three hours and didn't want to appear too clingy. Back and forth he wrestled with himself barely paying attention to the person sitting across him.     

Zhao Huangzhi also noticed Qie Ranzhe was a bit distracted but still insisted on having dinner with him. She couldn't shake the feeling that this was her only chance. She had to seize the opportunity otherwise who knows when the Marshal will make some time for her again.     

Qie Ranzhe had made some work excuse saying he had to cancel their appointment but she still managed to convince him. How can she not convince him when she had bragged to everyone even on Valim Network about this date. Hell, she even rubbed it in Zhao Xieshu's face so she couldn't afford to lose face no matter what. After a one-sided conversation dinner Zhao Huangzhi sent the waiter to bring over the dessert she had specially ordered for the Marshal with a little surprise inside.     

Faced with the famous golden phoenix cupcake an expensive dessert that looked so sweet that it could give him cavities just by looking at it, Qie Ranzhe scowled in disdain refusing to eat it. Why did she have to insist on ordering for him on top of that something, not of his taste?     

"Huan, I can't eat this...it looks too sweet," he said with his stomach already churning just by looking at it.     

Zhao Huangzhi knew he didn't have to finish it to complete her plan and pled him to try it. In his mind, Qie Ranzhe just wanted to get this appointment over and done with so he hesitantly used his fork to break it apart. Zhao Huangzhi peered at him in anticipation, excited for the Marshal to find the ring inside the dessert so she could make her grand confession which she was secretly live streaming on Valim Network.      

She couldn't wait to confess her love in front of millions of fans that way the Marshal will be forced to agree not that she was worried that he wouldn't accept her proposal. She just wanted to leave no room for failure. This would deal with the emperor as well as he will be too embarrassed to retract the engagement. Her plan was perfect but who could have thought just as he was about to take a bite, his communicator suddenly flashed with an incoming video call.     

She wasn't angry about this sudden interruption. As the future Mrs Qie, she should be understanding of her husband's demanding job and accustom herself to such interruptions. Patient, she waited for him to finish while giving him some space.     

Qie Ranzhe's brows knitted together when he glanced at the video call request but his expression soon, his heart elated when he realised it was Zhao Xieshu. He connected his earpiece so he could hear him clearly but Zhao Xieshu wasn't even in sight. The communicator seemed to be placed on the table in a noisy nightclub as the group of omegas chattered away.     

"Xie Xie, stop drinking and say that again," said Xiao Hua while Teng concealed the red blinking light.     

Soon a voice ever so familiar to him spoke in a stammering manner, Zhao Xieshu was obviously wasted. "Big che-st, tall and...um....ah....haha what was l saying? Hahahahaha, yes, yes...serious type," said a tipsy Wen Qinxi praising the interstellar world for having strong alcohol.     

"That's the Marshal you just described. I asked you what type is Nubile Gypsy. You just met with her today remember?" asked Hauidan while nudging Tong who was laughing his ass off.     

"No, no, no, no...I just described Gypsy not th-that.....lying bastard. Let m...let me tell this one tiny thing. He fuckin flirts with anything that moves," harshly waving his hand causing him to bump into a waiter. Soon a loud crashing sound was heard followed by the prince's drunken apologies. "Ohhhh I am sooooorrry....Come I will help," he said leaning forward but he was too drunk causing to tumble to the floor.     

"Shit! Help him up," said a worried Xiao Hua.     

After a few minutes of noisy shuffles, Wen Qinxi finally stood up with Tong's support but his eyes suddenly turned murderous pointed at Teng yelling, "that's her," before jumping over Xiao Hua, "that's th-the green tea bitch l was...tell-telling you about. Come here, let this ancestor teach you a lesson," grasping Teng's collar.     

The others struggled to peel him off while Teng talked some sense into the drunk prince. "Fuck! Xie-dage, it's me, Teng, your xiao-meimei," she said feeling helpless. How could she be mistaken for Zhao Huangzhi?      

Wen Qinxi who had finally realised his mistake suddenly stopped patting Teng's hair apologizing. "Aww dage was wrong. Maybe l should go find that temptress!" Hauidan stopped him and the feed was cut off right after.      

Qie Ranzhe abruptly stood up, excused himself and left with no proper explanation. Zhao Huangzhi was both angry and embarrassed especially when she had gone ahead of herself naming the Livestream 'Sweet Princess' happy ever after'.     

Her gaze coincidentally met her maiden who was still streaming even after the Marshal had already left. She couldn't help but scream, "Shut it off," revealing her ugly side to the entire universe for the first time.
