Chapter 492: Plan 37: Winning His Boyfriend with Green Tea

His wife, so handsome and fierce—gone!

Mi De An anxiously picked up his phone and dialed.

After a burst of busy tone, came the explanation that no one was temporarily answering.

He wanted to call the country's only good friend, but also thought that today was Jin Chen's birthday, so at this time he'd surely be with He Dage.

He became even more worried.

Mi De An grabbed a bottle of red wine, went into the bathroom to soak, his expression visibly fatigued.

He had pursued Li Cha Sen for nearly a year, and still it was like this; saying he wasn't tired would be a lie.

But he also knew that in his previous failed relationship, Li Cha Sen had suffered greatly and would not easily accept another romance.

Such conflicting feelings left Mi De An lately feeling extremely anxious.

He actually thought he had caught his wife, but she still ran away.

Maybe he should just stay at xm and be done with it, to avoid extra trouble after returning home.

As he was thinking, a Bell Signal suddenly rang.

He eagerly picked it up, but when he saw who was calling, the smile in his eyes faded again.

"What are you doing, my friend? At this hour you're not even sleeping with your wife?"

Jin Chen hadn't originally intended to show off, but since he asked...

"Just woke up, you're really smart."

Mi De An: "……"

He felt his already broken heart was smashed to pieces.

"You better have something going on!!"

Jin Chen's tone was somewhat hesitant: "Have you and Li Cha Sen's relationship actually stabilized?"

He half-leaned against the headboard, upper body bare, with the exhausted He Yuchuan sleeping peacefully in his arms, his warm palm occasionally stroking the person's cheek.

Mi De An: "I thought it had stabilized, but when I came back tonight I found he wasn't there, and I couldn't get through on the phone."

"I don't know where he went."

Jin Chen lowered his gaze at his wife's sleeping face: "I'm not sure either, but there's something I think you should know."

"The message I just received: his family… has arranged a marriage partner for him."

"What!"

The sound of splashing water rang out; Mi De An sat in the tub, his face slightly pale: "How do you know? Why don't I know?"

"Why didn't Li Cha Sen tell me…"

Jin Chen twitched the corner of his mouth; he also wanted to know how these two's romance had turned mute—one says nothing, the other asks nothing.

Quite tiring.

"Anyway, just letting you know, but I think he should…"

"Beep beep beep…"

Jin Chen: "……" What's the rush?

He thought it over and still sent the unfinished message.

——"I think Li Cha Sen will probably refuse, and he won't return to the country anytime soon; you should go check his lab in this city."

As soon as the message was sent, he heard a faint whimper from the person in his arms; oh well, he was still affected by the earlier phone call.

He put the phone on the bedside table, and Jin Chen lay down with the person.

"Chen-chen…" He Yuchuan murmured half-asleep, instinctively curling further into his embrace.

"I'm here, go to sleep."

Jin Chen kissed the corner of his lips, then turned off the night light.

——

However, that message was not seen by Mi De An.

After hanging up, he was utterly dazed, and his phone slipped straight into the tub, soaking.

Moreover, he didn't mind, picked up the nearby drink that had only two sips, and downed it in one gulp.

The dark red liquor dripped from the corner of his mouth into the water, his arm trembling slightly.

After downing a bottle of wine, Mi De An's eyes were somewhat red.

In the end, he still couldn't be with Li Cha Sen.

Li Cha Sen is returning home for an arranged marriage; if he himself is unwilling, he can speak up, and he will surely find a way, even if he can't change his family's view.

At least they could strive together.

But he didn't, and he didn't even say anything to himself.

Mi De An climbed out of the tub, casually changed clothes, and left his residence.

He recalled that after returning from the banquet that day, having greeted Li Cha Sen and heading to xm, people on the street told him there was a nightclub event and even handed him a flyer with coupons.

During the day he scoffed at it.

Now he just wanted to get drunk and call it a day.

Half an hour later, Mi De An entered the nightclub.

But he only wanted to drink, with no other thoughts, he ordered several bottles of expensive wine in one go, and didn't notice he was attracting many people's attention.

Several handsome youths exchanged glances, obviously interested in this big catch.

After a while.

The phone in the tub lit up again, ringing, but after a few rings the waterlogged phone finally went completely dark.

After another stretch of time, nearing 3 a. m., Jin Chen was awakened again by a vibration.

He closed his eyes, one hand instinctively covering He Yuchuan's ear peeking out from under the blanket, the other hand fumbling on the bedside table.

After feeling for the phone, he opened his eyes to look at the caller ID, a weary helplessness between his brows.

What's going on with these two?

"What are you doing?"

Li Cha Sen heard the person's half-asleep tone, paused, and asked, "Do you know where Mi De An went?"

"……" Such a familiar question.

Jin Chen: "About an hour and a half ago, he also asked me the same question."

"He probably went to find you."

"I didn't see anyone in the lab."

"Then how would I know, your dating is really a hassle for friends."

"…… Sorry to bother you." Li Cha Sen knew he couldn't get any information from him now, and quickly hung up.

Jin Chen was holding his wife, preparing to continue sleeping, when he suddenly opened his eyes fully.

Mi De An wouldn't have missed his message; he must think Li Cha Sen has returned to the country.

He blinked, and silently mourned Mi De An's love for three seconds.

Then he continued sleeping.

Having just hung up, Li Cha Sen happened to walk to his residence's door, he verified his fingerprint to unlock it, but there was no sign of Mi De An inside.

He stood there dazed for a long time.

So long that the night wind blew in through the window, making him feel a chill all over.

Last time Mi De An suddenly flew to Huaguo, he also waited a long time at his home.

This time coming to Huaguo, he truly wanted to accept Mi De An.

So after the secretary incident misunderstanding, he became that anxious.

But when he actually heard Mi De An's confession, he couldn't help but think of his previous relationship.

That relationship, which had almost gotten him killed, was a betrayal.

Li Cha Sen knew his retreat would cause Mi De An pain, but he truly couldn't bring himself to cross that mental barrier.

Could it be that Mi De An has finally given up pursuing?

Li Cha Sen clenched his fist, then casually took a windbreaker from the coat rack and put it on, but in his peripheral vision he caught sight of the poster in Mi De An's coat pocket.

He took it out, opened it to look, and his pupils contracted.

A nightclub promotional poster?

Why would Mi De An accept something like this?

After glancing at the event time, Li Cha Sen put on his coat and headed out.

At the same time.

After drinking two bottles in a row, Mi De An finally felt unwell, stopped, and watched the performance on stage.

The seat he had reserved was excellent; even staying quiet in the corner, he could clearly see the performance.

"Hey brother, are you unhappy about something?"

A beautifully dressed, somewhat feminized youth walked over, voice soft and pleasant, eyes half-closed, locking gazes with Mi De An.
