Chapter 104 – Bullied Until He Passed Out

Chapter 104 - Bullied Until He Passed Out

By the time they left, Shen Zhixue was covered in cold sweat.

He couldn't help but let out a soft, panting sound, his slender, pale fingers unconsciously inserting themselves into Jiang Huizhou's hair, gently pulling at his scalp.

Jiang Huizhou chuckled softly, looking up with a sly expression. "So, can I get out now? Zhi Zhi?"

Shen Zhixue opened his eyes, the corners red and flushed. "...Mm."

Jiang Huizhou took advantage of the situation to stand up from under the desk, his knuckles lifting Shen Zhixue's chin as he leaned in for a kiss.

Shen Zhixue was forced tightly against the chair, gasping for breath as he found himself completely at the mercy of Jiang Huizhou, with no chance to catch his breath.

Jiang Huizhou turned around, holding Shen Zhixue, and placed him on the wide surface of the executive desk.

"Go inside," Shen Zhixue, having completely given up resistance, panted softly. "There's a private resting room inside. Not here. There are important documents on the desk."

Jiang Huizhou nonchalantly pushed the phone off the desk and casually grabbed a file. Glancing at it, he saw it was an equity transfer agreement for Jiang Group. He arched an eyebrow. "Zhi Zhi, you've got quite the appetite."

Shen Zhixue, propping himself up with his elbow on the mahogany desk, was dazed by Jiang Huizhou's moves. Unconsciously, he glanced at the document in Jiang Huizhou's hand and nuzzled Jiang Huizhou's lips with his nose.

"There's no more Jiang Group," he muttered.

Jiang Huizhou didn't catch what he said and leaned in closer, his voice soft. "What? Hmm?"

"The Jiang Group is gone," Shen Zhixue's body was set aflame by Jiang Huizhou, his voice now tinged with a hint of tears. A rare honesty overwhelmed his senses as a cold, clear fragrance enveloped him. "The Jiang Group is gone... Jiang Huizhou, no one will bully you anymore."

Jiang Huizhou's movements paused for a moment.

He looked up, meeting Shen Zhixue's dazed and alluring gaze, then chuckled softly. "Is Zhi Zhi getting revenge for me?"

In truth, he had long grown accustomed to it.

Accustomed to walking alone, accustomed to licking his own wounds.

When he was weak, no one cared if he was hurt because a weak person wasn't worth the concern.

When he became strong, outsiders only saw him breaking through obstacles, strategizing at every step. Those wounds were hidden under the light, unknown to others.

Only Shen Zhixue seemed to possess a magical power. A single action, a single glance, an unconscious word could easily soothe his wounds and scars.

Jiang Huizhou almost believed that he didn't care anymore, that Jiang Yingshan's power was waning and couldn't cause any more trouble.

He told himself that Jiang Yingshan was just a twisted monster created by the empire's distorted system. Even if it hadn't been Jiang Yingshan, there would have been countless others like Zhao Yingshan, Qian Yingshan, Sun Yingshan. What truly sent his mother into a hell of suffering was the empire's unfair rules and systems.

He retained the last bit of filial piety, forcing himself to leave a way out for Jiang Yingshan.

No one thought this was wrong, after all, Jiang Yingshan was his biological father. But no one knew how many sleepless nights he had spent, hating Jiang Yingshan so much that he couldn't sleep.

Only Shen Zhixue knew.

Only Shen Zhixue would feel wronged for him, angry for him, sad for him, and tirelessly work day and night, fighting against Jiang Yingshan for that promise, "You won't be bullied anymore."

Even though just moments before, Shen Zhixue had coldly stated that their relationship was merely one of "mutually beneficial partners."

Jiang Huizhou couldn't stop chuckling softly.

He almost thought Shen Zhixue was working day and night for the Jiang Group, that Shen Zhixue was "using" him.

It turned out that from beginning to end, the one harboring filthy and despicable schemes was only Jiang Huazhou.

His Zhi Zhi, sincere and passionate, pure and beautiful.

Shen Zhixue lifted an arm, wrapping it around Jiang Huazhou's neck, seemingly not hearing his extremely soft inquiry. She just tilted her head back, like a kitten, softly sobbing, her whole body trembling slightly.

"What should we do?" Jiang Huazhou's eyes darkened, the desire in them growing more intense: "I originally planned not to bully you so much, but how can you always find ways to make me—"

As he spoke, Shen Zhixue felt a familiar pain. His suit pants had somehow been pulled down, leaving one ankle lightly hooked.

Jiang Huazhou's physique was excellent, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted. Just looking at his upper body exuded the unique male hormones of an Alpha, especially that segment of his wasp waist, which looked perfect for holding onto.

Shen Zhixue couldn't help but cry out in distress, and Jiang Huazhou's voice became clearer with each deep thrust.

"Make me like you so, so much?"

"Is our Zhi Zhi learning some kind of magic, making me want you more and more every time..."

Shen Zhixue shook her head, unable to hear or speak clearly, only repeating over and over: "Gentler, um."

Fortunately, the CEO's office was fitted with the highest-grade sound-absorbing materials; otherwise, with the noise Jiang Huazhou was making, everyone in the company would have known what kind of scandalous activities were taking place in the CEO's office during the day.

When the fifth call to the CEO's office went unanswered, an employee who didn't know better said, "President Shen must be in trouble in there, right?"

Wan Heqi, passing by with a file, pushed up his glasses and said, "Mind your own business and don't speculate wildly."

"But, there's a document here that needs President Shen's decision," the employee earnestly explained. "President Shen has never been in the company without answering calls before; this is very unusual."

"I just went in to get Shen Zhixue to approve some documents, and he seemed a bit flushed and was sweating a lot. Could he be sick from all the stress of dealing with Jiang Corporation these past few days?"

"Now that you mention it, it's quite possible. Shen Zhixue really hasn't had any rest for a long time. I need to go check on him! What if he faints inside?"

With that, he turned around and ran upstairs.

Wan Heqi tried to stop him but couldn't in time. Though Shen Zhixue had been managing Fengyue Entertainment for just under half a year, he was indeed a wise and gentle leader, beloved by everyone in the company.

Shen Zhixue was pressed against the transparent, mirrored glass door, his legs were wrapped around Jiang Huizhou's waist, one hand forced to grip the door handle. "Not like this, it hurts too much, I... I can't hold on anymore, Jiang Huizhou."

His back rubbed against the cold glass door again and again, his toes pointed straight, with only the parts in contact with Jiang Huizhou supporting him.

"Then how about you say something nice, and I'll carry you to the resting room, alright?" Jiang Huizhou whispered into his ear, gently coaxing him. "You know what I want to hear, don't you?"

Shen Zhixue bit his lower lip and didn't say anything.

The glass door was one-way mirrored. From the inside, one could clearly see outside, but from the outside, all appeared pitch black.

Jiang Huizhou saw an employee pacing anxiously by the door, looking as if they would call the police if they didn't get any news of Shen Zhixue soon.

"Tsk." Jiang Huizhou picked Shen Zhixue up and whispered, "Zhi Zhi, hang on for a moment."

Shen Zhixue looked up with teary eyes, saw the employee outside the door, and nervously biting his lip, nodded.

Jiang Huizhou carried Shen Zhixue to the desk, still not separating from him.

He picked up the phone from the floor and pressed the answer button.

The employee finally got through on the office phone and let out a sigh of relief, then asked nervously, "Mr. Shen, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to call a doctor or an ambulance for you?"

There was no sound for a long time, and after half a minute, he finally heard Shen Zhixue's somewhat normal voice. "I'm fine, just resting. Let the other employees continue with their work."

"Are you sure you're okay, Mr. Shen?" the employee pressed. "Do you need something to eat? You haven't eaten anything all day."

"N-No..." Shen Zhixue's voice trembled slightly. "Don't let anyone come near the office. I'll... I'll come out once I'm rested."

With that, the phone clicked shut.

Wan Heqi walked over and patted the employee on the shoulder. "I think it'll be soon."

Employee: "Ah? What will be soon?"

Wan Heqi gestured and called the CEO's office again.

Half a minute later, Shen Zhixue's voice came through, "Didn't I say not to disturb me?"

Wan Heqi spoke calmly, "Take it easy on him. He hasn't slept right for five days, and today he's only had a couple of sips of coffee. He can't take much more of this. At least let him eat something, or he's going to pass out soon."

The employee was left speechless.

A strange man's voice replaced Shen Zhixue's on the line, deep and sensual, so captivating it set minds racing.

"Understood."

Then came their CEO's muffled whimper.

Employee: !!!

He felt like he'd stumbled on something he shouldn't have!

Wan Heqi hung up the phone and looked at him with an unconcerned expression. "Do you still want to stay here?"

Employee: "...N-no, no! Let's go! Let's get out of here!!"

And with that, he fled the scene at lightning speed!

So, in what kind of situation had CEO Shen taken that call just now?!

How could he be so clueless?! Oh no, he was doomed! CEO Shen was going to fire him for sure!

However, he was indeed worrying for nothing.

Right after the call, Shen Zhixue passed out.

"Why didn't you say so earlier..." Jiang Huizhou muttered as he helped Shen Zhixue get dressed, quickly freshened up, and then put on a mask and sunglasses.

He then carried Shen Zhixue out of the CEO's office and turned on the nearby air purifier.

Everyone noticed the activity in the CEO's office and looked over.

They saw the petite Shen Zhixue being carried by the tall, upright man, with a section of his neck revealed, covered in bright red hickeys.

Wan Heqi shot Jiang Huizhou a reproachful look. "Beast."

Jiang Huizhou tutted. "How come you didn't tell me he hadn't eaten? That's important info, and you didn't share it. Do I still get to be your boss or what?"

Wan Heqi pushed his glasses. "Not your boss anymore."

"...I'll take him back first," Jiang Huizhou said as he used his collar to modestly cover Shen Zhixue. "Keep your people in line."

With that, he left without looking back and called the family doctor on the way to the hover car, instructing him to be waiting at the Jiang family villa.
