Chapter 86 How Long Are You Planning to Keep Me?
Ji Naitang waited for Cen Muqi to question him, but he waited from morning to night and Cen Muqi still didn’t ask him anything about last night. He didn’t even ask him about his relationship with Yao Yuanjing.
On one hand, he sighed with relief. On the other hand, he wondered if Cen Muqi didn’t ask because he didn’t care.
Zhuo Xiaozhuo sent him a message stating that he was going to C City to film the movie in a few days. He asked Ji Naitang if he wanted to visit him at work. Ji Naitang replied that he would let him now.
“Sweetie Ji, what do you want to eat tonight?” Cen Muqi went to the balcony and asked Ji Naitang, who was holding his phone and spacing out. Ji Naitang looked up at him and didn’t speak. Cen Muqi looked at the phone’s screen and asked, “Which handsome guy are you chatting with?”
When Cen Muqi saw Zhuo Xiaozhuo’s name, he couldn’t help but frown. “He really likes bothering you. Are you two very close?”
“He’s considered a friend.”
“The movie he’s filming should be Director Zheng’s movie, right?”
“En.”
“You introduced him to the director and he’s inviting you to go visit him at work. And you’re still just ordinary friends?” Cen Muqi’s questioning tone contained a hint of jealousy.
Ji Naitang couldn’t help but chuckle, but he didn’t explain. Cen Muqi sighed deeply. He crossed his arms over his chest as he leaned against the glass door. “It turns out that having a good-looking little lover isn’t a good thing. Too good-looking means too charming. I have to be vigilant against this person and that person.”
“CEO Cen can always find an ugly one.”
“Unfortunately, appearances are very important to me.”
“But I’m not good-looking.”
“You’re good-looking enough.”
Ji Naitang slowly smiled. Of course he was happy to be complimented by the person he liked. He took advantage of the warm atmosphere and asked, “How long are you planning to keep me, CEO Cen?”
Cen Muqi was startled, as if he didn’t expect that Ji Naitang would suddenly ask this. But Ji Naitang instantly felt better after he asked the question that he wanted to always know the answer to.
The reason why he was so conflicted and hesitant was because he was afraid that Cen Muqi wouldn’t want him one day. Now that he had directly asked the question, he could mentally prepare himself for it.
He didn’t want to leave Cen Muqi, but if Cen Muqi was tired of him one day and didn’t want to see him anymore, then he would agree to leave even if he didn’t want to.
“How long do you want to stay?”
“CEO Cen, you’re the backer. The power over how long I will stay is in your hands. It’s not something I can decide.”
“What if I hand you this power?”
Ji Naitang bent his head and controlled himself. If this power was given to him, he would certainly stay for a lifetime. But he stayed silent and didn’t say it out loud.
He didn’t know what Cen Muqi meant. He had just asked it casually. He didn’t dare to take a gamble nor could he afford to gamble.
Cen Muqi waited for a while, but he didn’t get an answer. He wanted to ask again when his phone rang. He took a look. It was Leng Qifei calling him.
“Old Cen, did you eat dinner yet?”
“Not yet.”
“That’s good. I’m at the western restaurant at the corner of your street. Come over here and be pleasantly surprised.”
“What surprise?”
“I said it’s a surprise, so how I can just tell you? Hurry up and come over!” Leng Qifei then hung up.
Cen Muqi looked somewhat helplessly at Ji Naitang. “We’re having western food tonight.”
Ji Naitang agreed and stood up. He wasn’t actually very picky about food. He also had an okay relationship with Leng Qifei, so he wouldn’t refuse.
And he was a little curious about what the surprise Leng Qifei mentioned was.
