The horse ranch spared no expense on maintenance. Even in autumn, the grass and water remained lush and abundant, making the entire place refreshing and pleasant to the mind.
Ji Weiyang was riding along when he suddenly realized that his brother was nowhere to be seen. He pulled on the reins and turned his horse back, only to find Fu Cheng playing with his phone.
He dismounted as well and curiously leaned over to take a look. He then saw that Fu Cheng was searching in the browser: How to coax a girl.
Ji Weiyang: ???
!!!
Could it be that all that traditional Chinese medicine he’d been drinking lately had finally caused him to hallucinate?
Ji Weiyang rubbed his eyes and after confirming that he hadn’t seen it wrong, his curiosity immediately began burning fiercely. He also released the reins and let his horse wander over to eat grass before asking, “Who is this person? They must be pretty important if they need you to coax them. Don’t tell me it’s Auntie Jiang.”
Fu Cheng didn’t hide it from him. “The one who sent the photos last time.”
“Fuck, I knew there was something going on between you two! Otherwise, why wouldn’t you give me her WeChat? This is incredible. The old iron tree is finally blooming!”
“Stop talking nonsense. Do you have any useful advice?”
Ji Weiyang, who had recently been drinking traditional Chinese medicine like crazy, cleared his throat lightly. “Would advice for coaxing a man work?”
“……” Fu Cheng reopened the browser.
Wen Moxue left Fu Cheng hanging for the entire morning. When he finally opened their chat window again, his eyes suddenly widened.
Because Fu Cheng’s method of apologizing had been to send him two selfies taken in front of a full length dressing mirror.
In the first, he was wearing a neat riding outfit: a snow white undershirt beneath a black vest, paired with a pair of white, close fitting riding breeches and tall riding boots. The outfit accentuated his tall, upright figure, giving him an elegant and captivating appearance.
But the focus was on the second photo.
In the second one, he had taken off his top. Without the elegant clothing wrapped around him, the man’s wild, powerful and muscular physique was revealed in its entirety.
His firm, well developed muscles were defined in clean, powerful lines, with a broad, mesmerizing chest and a clearly defined eight pack. His waist was lean and solid yet obviously packed with strength. Combined with his one meter ninety height, he gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure. Every inch of him radiated an intense, powerful masculine presence, practically overflowing with boyfriend material energy.
The snow white, close fitting riding breeches wrapped snugly around his firm, long thighs, giving him a neat and elegant appearance, while the metal buckle on his black belt caught the light and reflected a dazzling gleam.
A sleeping dragon, revealing a terrifying yet arrogantly impressive curve.
Wen Moxue abruptly shut off the screen. For a moment, his face felt burning hot and his heart pounded wildly against his chest.
Photoshop. It had to be Photoshop!
Yet after a moment, Wen Moxue couldn’t help opening his phone again to sneak another look.
Damn it. Wen Moxue was as thoroughly gay as they came and he had absolutely no resistance whatsoever against a handsome Daddy with a body like this and an even better face. He was so overwhelmed by Fu Cheng’s looks that his entire brain had practically gone blank.
Before Shu Yan had gotten together with his boyfriend, he often sent Wen Moxue all kinds of handsome “male bodhisattvas” he came across online. Wen Moxue had therefore seen quite a number of them but he had never once encountered anyone quite like Fu Cheng, someone who had both the physique and the looks, whose bearing carried such an oppressive presence and who could make the person looking at him feel so flustered and weak in the knees.
Wen Moxue couldn’t resist taking one look, then another.
There was so much vigorous vitality radiating from him from head to toe yet that face of his remained cold and indifferent. The contrast created an even more explosive visual effect, making him look all the more seductive. Wen Moxue stared until even his fingertips couldn’t help trembling faintly.
Only after he had finally admired the view to his heart’s content did he let out a long breath, unable to help feeling regretful that such an incredible body had ended up belonging to such a lousy man!
But he had actually managed to force a supposedly proper old man like this into sending a half nude photo. That meant the man had genuinely fallen for him.
Haha.
There was a saying that anything taken too far would have the opposite effect. The old man had only just begun to understand his own feelings and if Wen Moxue kept deliberately putting on airs for too long, it would easily make him feel annoyed. So he stopped leaving him hanging.
A’Xiaoli: AAAAAAHHHH! Screaming!
A’Xiaoli: I was almost knocked unconscious by how handsome big brother is. I felt like I was on the verge of dying just now but then I did a 360 degree carp flip, spun around, jumped and came back to life.
A’Xiaoli: Love big brother. (finger heart)
Fu Cheng sent him a pat on the head sticker.
A’Xiaoli: Big brother, did you go horseback riding? QAQ You haven’t come to the teahouse in ages.
Fu: When are you going back to work?
A’Xiaoli: Next week. Are you coming, big brother? (seductive wink)
Getting him to spend a good amount of money at the teahouse would count as making a profit too.
Fu: Okay.
Wen Moxue clenched his fist and let out a victorious “Yay!”
The old man really was much easier to deal with after prying open that clam shell!
He hadn’t gone to work at the teahouse in quite some time. That day, he had fled in the middle of everything and he had been worried that this might arouse Wen Heng’s idiot suspicion and that the man might leave someone watching the teahouse.
As it turned out, he had overestimated the other man’s intelligence. The other party probably couldn’t have imagined in his entire life that Wen Moxue would secretly take a part time job cross dressing as a woman. So although he was unhappy that he hadn’t been able to see him, he hadn’t suspected anything.
As for Lin Ling, who had held a grudge against him after he had snatched away her black gold client, she didn’t appear to have won anyone over either. Instead, she seemed to be secretly keeping an eye on him herself. Wen Moxue breathed a sigh of relief.
The teahouse had changed into new work qipaos. Since the weather had turned colder, the qipaos were made of somewhat thicker fabric. There was one long sleeved style and another short sleeved style that came with a matching shawl.
Wen Moxue chose the version with the shawl.
He hadn’t come for quite some time, so the customers had all assumed that he had quit. As soon as he appeared again, there were plenty of customers asking for him. Fu Cheng wouldn’t be coming until after work that evening and Wen Moxue had deliberately reserved that time for him.
Unfortunately, plans could never keep up with changes. One customer stubbornly refused to leave, resulting in Wen Moxue still being occupied even after Fu Cheng arrived.
Fu Cheng was a VIP among VIPs, so naturally, no one at the teahouse dared to neglect him. The floor manager had originally planned to prioritize Wen Moxue for his service. Since Wen Moxue was tied up, however, she could only select a male tea server, just as they had done before.
Just as she was making arrangements, Lin Ling, the one who had previously smashed things in anger after her own black gold client had requested Wen Moxue, walked over to the floor manager and said, “Let me go.”
The floor manager frowned. “No. None of us can afford to offend Mr. Fu.”
“I’m not planning to do anything. Why would I offend him? And why can Wen Qianqian go while I can’t? Other than the fact that my face isn’t as surgically altered as hers, where exactly am I inferior to her? Besides, Mr. Fu doesn’t even care about looks.”
The floor manager said, “She knows Mr. Fu.”
“Knows him?” Lin Ling gave a cold laugh. “I heard from Xiao Zhu that the other day, when she went inside to deliver refreshments, she heard Mr. Fu telling Wen Qianqian to leave. Wen Qianqian shamelessly cried and made a fuss until she was allowed to stay. The reason we used to get thrown out was simply because none of us were as shameless as Wen Qianqian.”
Xiao Zhu was the server responsible for bringing out food and refreshments here. The floor manager called her over to ask about it and only then learned that this had happened.
She hesitated, while Lin Ling linked her arm through hers. “Sis, we’ve known each other for so long. Just give me this one chance, okay?”
The floor manager thought it over. Wen Qianqian was a student at a prestigious university, so there was no way she would stay working here for very long. When all was said and done, Lin Ling was the real trump card of their teahouse. If she could genuinely establish a good relationship with Mr. Fu, that would be even better.
“All right. Just know your limits and don’t make him angry.”
Lin Ling happily said, “Okay.”
Fu Cheng was here on a private outing today, so he had come alone without even bringing his assistant.
Holding a tray, Lin Ling adjusted her facial expression behind the screen. She suppressed the smugness on her face and replaced it with a perfectly measured smile before swaying her waist as she walked into the private room.
How dare Wen Qianqian steal her black gold client? Today, she was going to steal away the biggest prize of all from her!
She knew that Fu Cheng preferred peace and quiet, so she didn’t dare make any unnecessary movements or say anything superfluous. After entering, she merely asked respectfully, “Mr. Fu, hello. I’m Lin Ling, one of the tea servers here. Would you like me to brew your tea now, or would you prefer to wait a little while?”
Fu Cheng had originally been looking down at his phone. Without even raising his head, he said, “No need. Have Wen Qianqian come over.”
The smile on Lin Ling’s face almost failed to hold but she maintained her gentle tone and said, “She’s currently entertaining another gentleman and they seem to be having a very pleasant conversation. She won’t be able to get away for a little while.”
Fu Cheng’s fingertips paused. His expression remained utterly indifferent. “It’s fine. I’ll wait for her.”
“……” Lin Ling’s smile completely froze on her face.
But she still wasn’t willing to give up. Remembering the method Xiao Zhu had told her about, the shameless way Wen Qianqian had managed to stay behind, she gritted her teeth and her eyes suddenly reddened.
……
Wen Moxue had finally finished serving his previous customer and had just come out when Chen Jiajia, who was close to him, pulled him aside.
“Mr. Fu is here,” Chen Jiajia whispered.
That was something Wen Moxue had expected. He was about to say that he would go get himself ready when Chen Jiajia lowered her voice even further and said, “Lin Ling took the initiative to ask the floor manager to let her brew tea for Mr. Fu. The manager agreed and she’s already gone inside. She found out from Xiao Zhu about the method you used to stay in Mr. Fu’s private room last time. She’s definitely planning to imitate you. What a shameless way to steal someone else’s client.”
When Wen Moxue heard that someone had actually overheard him playing the victim last time, his old face flushed red.
A little embarrassing.
He knew that because all the tea servers here were paid through commissions, there was naturally competition between them. They were constantly fighting among themselves, both openly and behind the scenes.
However, Wen Moxue had never planned to work here for long in the first place and because he had the advantage of his appearance, he had never paid much attention to it.
If someone wanted to steal one of his customers, he was actually happy to have the workload reduced.
Fu Cheng had always been the target of every female tea server here. As for Lin Ling, she was very beautiful and extremely capable when it came to getting what she wanted. If she imitated his trick of playing the victim, would the old man really soften his heart?
This man wasn’t exactly a good person. If he tried to play both sides, there was nothing Wen Moxue could do about it either. All he could do would be to throw punches at the air in frustration.
Just as he was imagining Fu Cheng showing mercy to a beautiful woman and was already so angry that he wanted to throw a couple of punches at the air, the floor manager hurried over and told him to get ready quickly. Mr. Fu was waiting for him.
Clearly, Lin Ling had failed.
Chen Jiajia immediately burst out laughing and patted Wen Moxue on the shoulder. “Go on, hurry up.”
Fu Cheng’s private room was on the third floor. Wen Moxue took the elevator up and as soon as he stepped out, he happened to run into Lin Ling, who was preparing to go downstairs.
Her face was pale with embarrassment, clearly showing that the old man had forcibly rejected her.
Wen Moxue knew exactly how cold and ruthless this man could be when it came to refusing to give people any face, so he laughed without the slightest bit of sympathy.
Thinking of what she had said to him last time, Wen Moxue didn’t hold back as he threw her own words right back at her. “I’m shameless? Then what does that make you? Shamelessness on super mega ultra mode?”
Seeing Lin Ling’s face instantly turn green, Wen Moxue gave a mocking laugh and turned around before entering Fu Cheng’s private room.
Today, his female disguise didn’t have his hair pinned up. Instead, he wore his long, curly hair loose, with part of it braided into a princess style half up hairstyle. His beautiful features carried a touch of pure, youthful sweetness.
Fu Cheng’s gaze fell upon the cream colored shawl draped over her shoulders. As though remembering something, a trace of darkness flashed through his eyes. He asked, “What are you laughing so happily about?”
“Of course it’s because I got to see big brother. I don’t know why but every time I see your handsome face, the corners of my mouth just rise all on their own.”
Fu Cheng’s lips lifted slightly but he neither confirmed nor denied it.
Wen Moxue sat down in the tea server’s chair opposite him. Just then, the refreshments Fu Cheng had ordered also arrived. The server carried in a tray and carefully arranged the exquisite dishes one by one across the table.
Thinking about how his pathetic, tearful performance in front of this lousy man had now been spread around among all the servers, Wen Moxue felt his toes curling in embarrassment.
It was all this damn man’s fault! He and Fu Cheng were mortal enemies!
Wen Moxue cursed him viciously in his heart. He was just about to reach for the kettle of hot water when he thought of something. Deliberately rubbing his shoulder, he shamelessly took advantage of being favored and said, “My hand is so sore. Big brother, why don’t you brew the tea for me?”
The server’s hand trembled and the exquisite plate of refreshments she was holding nearly slipped onto the table.
Asking a customer to brew his own tea was practically turning the natural order of the world upside down.
And that customer was Mr. Fu, their most important VIP, a major figure whom even the hidden owner of the teahouse would have to treat with the utmost courtesy if he came here. He was also famously fond of peace and quiet and notoriously difficult to serve.
Wen Qianqian must have gotten too carried away from being pampered lately. How could she dare be this brazen?
Just as the server expected Mr. Fu to tell Wen Qianqian to leave and replace her with someone who actually had functioning hands and knew how to brew tea, she watched as Mr. Fu said nothing at all. Instead, he reached out, took the teapot and began filling it with water to boil.
“……???”
Wen Moxue watched with satisfaction as the server walked out in a daze.
Hmph! Go ahead and spread the legend of your brother around.
