After Rebirth, I Decided To Inherit the Family Property

Chapter 69 – Gotcha.

“Ah…!”

A harsh scream suddenly shattered the tranquility of the house.

Qin Ke, who was cleaning up the shattered lantern, turned his head and looked at the closed door of the bathroom. Without the slightest hesitation, he went straight over and knocked on the door: “President Xiao Song?”

The tiny movement inside suddenly stopped.

Qin Ke’s curved finger knocked again: “What’s wrong?”

Still no one answered.

Qin Ke frowned and held the door handle downward: “Song Yunran, if you don’t make a sound, I’ll just break the door.”

“No, no!”

Song Yunran’s stammering reply finally rang out, “You you don’t come in, right now …… it’s fine!”

It doesn’t sound like there’s a big problem.

The furrow between the eyebrows of Qin Ke stretched out: “Okay, it’s good that it’s fine.”

How can Song Yunran be fine?

He leaned against the wall with a sad face, staring at the text on the screen that even elementary school students could understand. He hated that he wasn’t an illiterate person who had not received nine years of compulsory education.

He Ziyou said he liked Qin Ke.

Song Yunran would like to justifiably retort back, but unfortunately, several lines of text repeatedly typed in the input box were deleted by himself line by line.

The reason is that there is not enough reason to deny.

Although since childhood, friends around him are laughing at him as the foolish son of the landlord’s family, but Song Yunran himself knows that he is not stupid at all, most of the time he is still very smart.

The actual truth is, he understands that between friends, even if they like each other a lot, they will not have the impulse to kiss each other on the lips.

There is no possibility between father and son, that is perverted.

Song Yunran thinks he is not a pervert, so the only possibility left ……

The only possibility left is that he likes Qin Ke.

He sighed bitterly, and clawed his hair into a mess.

He was hoping that He Ziyou could find an excuse for him to deny his answer with his magical brain, but it turned out to be that he had a demon in his heart.

Song Yunran is almost annoyed, he hates himself for betraying his long-held beliefs.

It was clear that his greatest wish after his rebirth was to be Qin Ke’s father, how did his little mind change qualitatively without him realizing it?

And the time he realized this was the first day he officially became Qin Ke’s father, when his wish was not easily achieved.

I’m such a scumbag, Song Yunran thought, I really don’t cherish it once I get it.

As if hearing his self-loathing, the quiet He Ziyou once again fired up: [I think, you should not dwell on this matter, you should now consider another thing.]

Song Yunran: [What is it?]

He Ziyou: [Does Qin Ke like you?]

“……”

Oh yeah! Song Yunran suddenly realized that he had forgotten such an important point!

[Should I ask directly?] Song Yunran sincerely asked for advice, [in case he said no, then where should I put my face?

This question stumped He Ziyou as well.

He is a theoretical person who likes to surf the internet, but when it comes to the actual practice, he has no experience at all.

The two of them discussed back and forth, and finally came to a conclusion with great difficulty.

Ask, still have to ask.

But a little bit of negotiation skills are needed to leave room on your side to save your face.

[I got it! You use the art of side-stepping to find out what he thinks of you!]

He Ziyou urgently browsed through some emotional chicken soup and studied it now, [For example, what were you doing when you tried to kiss him? Maybe he had the same idea at that time?]

What were they doing at that time?

Of course they were topless in the hot spring.

Then he was compelled by Qin Ke’s appearance, his mind wandered and he wanted to kiss Qin Ke.

The image that came to his mind made Song Yunran uncontrollable.

He rubbed his burning cheeks hard and suddenly raised his eyes and saw himself in the mirror, fully clothed.

The clothes were put on by himself when he got up to go eat ribs noodles.

And when he first woke up, he was wearing a bathrobe provided by the B&B.

!!!

A moment later, Song Yunran was enlightened and knew what to do.

He delayed too long in the bathroom, and when he went out, Qin Ke had finished cleaning up the mess and was sitting on the sofa studying the treasure map.

Song Yunran went straight up and took the treasure map out of his hand and tossed it aside without saying a word.

Then he sat down on the opposite single sofa, and handsomely ruffled his hair. When he thought about it, he crossed his legs and finally put his hands on the armrest of the sofa, assuming the confident posture of a domineering president.

Qin Ke looked at him with doubts.

Song Yunran coldly issued an order: “Turn off the microphone.”

“Okay.” Qin Ke did not object, obediently pressed the switch.

Song Yunran nodded and asked, “After I passed out earlier, you helped me back to the room?”

Qin Jing “hmm”, in fact, was carried back to the room, but he was worried that if he said it out loud, Song Yunran would be ashamed on the spot.

” What about the bathrobe I was wearing?” Song Yunran asked, “Did you also help me put it on?”

Qin Ke said, “Yes, I did.”

“No one else was present?”

“…… No.”

Song Yunran pondered for a moment before continuing to ask: “Oh, in that case ……”

Not good, he began to be nervous again. He hurriedly took several deep breaths and pretended to be calm and gestured towards himself, “Did you, see it all?”

Qin Ke went stiff for a moment.

Although because of the urgency of the situation, he was in a hurry to wrap Song Yunran in the bathrobe, but if you ask him whether he saw, then the answer is obvious.

Song Yunran has been able to figure out the answer from Qin Ke’s expression.

He lowered his voice and asked, “Then you …… cough, are you satisfied with what you saw?”

Qin Ke: “……”

Song Yunran: “……”

Why is he not talking, is it because he’s asked too profoundly?

Not so much, he thinks this question is very simple ah. Is Qin Ke really a bit stupid ah.

He had no choice but to make further explanation on this: “You see, when I was an actor, my face was also very good. And I am tall and have long legs. Many clothing brands like to cooperate with me. I am still in good shape!]

After some explanation, Qin Ke finally picked up his thought process and spoke in a gentle voice: “Well, yes.”

Song Yunran breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s right. So when you saw me during the hot spring, were you particularly nervous? Did you have symptoms of rapid heartbeat and difficulty in breathing?”

Qin Ke seemed to understand something and said with a smile, “Yes.”

Woo-hoo-!

Song Yunran’s eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Great, so when he was flustered, Qin Ke was hiding the same stirring in his heart!

Qin Ke must have a good feeling for him that goes beyond father-son love, but he just hasn’t realized it yet.

Otherwise, with Qin Ke’s calm personality, how could he have the same reaction as him.

“Do you know why you are nervous?” Song Yunran pressed down the urge to cheer loudly and asked in a small voice.

Qin Ke looked at the light blooming in his eyes and slowly hooked the corners of his lips.

Although he didn’t know what Song Yunran and He Ziyou had secretly discussed, Qin Ke could clearly feel that the Xiao Song had eased up from his chaotic emotions. It was as if he had found some kind of balance and was preparing to take the initiative firmly into his own hands.

Qin Ke lifted his eyelids and cooperated by asking softly in return, “Why?”

Song Yunran smiled mysteriously, he knew it, Qin Ke was really not as smart as him.

The moment he thought that he was the one who captured the first opportunity, all the tension he had before left his body instantly.

In its place, there was a kind of excitement and thrill to do something big.

“I can’t tell you right now.” Song Yunran winked and hinted, “But you will soon know.”

At noon on the third day, after the filming at Hua Ling Village was over, several guests were sent to the airport in unison.

Song Yunran went straight back to Yan City, while Qin Ke needed to fly to another city to handle other work.

Before parting, Song Yunran called Qin Ke to the corner: “Are you going home tomorrow?”

“Well, tomorrow night.” Qin Ke asked, “Is the company going to arrange other work?”

Song Yunran said in a serious manner, “Tomorrow night ‘After I Met You’ starts airing, I’m not quite sure in my thoughts, so I want to ask you to assess it together in private.”

After all, the drama is going to go live with the audience, so what’s the point of evaluating it now?

Fortunately, Qin Ke only looked at him lightly and did not doubt: “Then I will go to you directly after I arrive home?”

“Sure.”

Song Yunran nodded, the corners of his mouth curved up uncontrollably, “Don’t forget, this is especially important.”

A few hours later, Song Yunran returned to Yan City and immediately went to work.

He used the fastest speed to discuss the tourism development of Hualing Village and the investment of Lu Jingyi’s film at a meeting with the senior executives of Xinghe, and then handled some scattered work accumulated. Then he announced to Assistant Tang that he would not come to the company tomorrow.

Assistant Tang asked, “Mr. Song, do you need to go out? Do you want me to arrange a driver to pick you up tomorrow?”

“No, I won’t be going out tomorrow.”

Song Yunran paused and suddenly remembered an important thing, “Right, help me order a bouquet of flowers.”

Assistant Tang: “…… what flowers?”

Song Yunran choked for a moment, the words at the edge of his mouth are a little embarrassing.

He looked around with fluttering eyes before stammering in a whisper, “Roses.”

Assistant Tang was shocked, of course he knew what the roses represented, but he couldn’t imagine what Xiao Song was planning to do by ordering roses.

Could it be to confess to someone?

But who would it be for?

Assistant Tang expressionlessly wrote down the president’s request, and when he left the office, Qin Ke’s name suddenly flashed in his mind.

But in the next second, the heartache of losing the year-end bonus made him shiver fiercely.

It’s not possible.

He must have been reading the internet too much recently to see dizzy super talk.

How could the president Xiao Song confess to Qin Ke!

Song Yunran was completely unaware that Assistant Tang had started jumping around.

The next day after waking up, he went out to trim his recently grown hair.

In the afternoon, when he returned home, a large bouquet of bright roses had already been delivered, and his aunt had also started preparing tonight’s meal in advance, as he had instructed.

All things are ready, only waiting for Qin Ke to return.

The whole afternoon, Song Yunran spent in anxiety and impatience.

He thought about it when he was in Hua Ling Village, as a qualified domineering president, he should be like all his peers, as long as he recognizes his own feelings, he will thunderously start to pursue.

He has no experience at all in this area, it was He Ziyou who came up with the idea that the overbearing presidents chase people in a similar way, flowers and candlelight dinners must be prepared for.

However, considering their popularity, Song Yunran could only bear the pain of setting the candlelight dinner at his own home.

Unknowingly, the clock was already pointing to 8pm.

The time when Qin Ke would return is getting closer and closer, and Song Yunran’s heartbeat is getting faster and faster.

After a long time, the long-awaited doorbell finally rang.

Song Yunran almost jumped up and ran to the foyer.

When he saw the figure appearing in the visual doorbell, he hurriedly slowed down again. He smoothed out his hair and cleared his throat before he carefully opened the door.

Qin Ke didn’t lie, he came straight from the plane and didn’t even return to his home.

His suitcase was still at his feet, adding a touch of wind and dust to the reunion after a brief parting.

Song Yunran froze for a moment, realizing that the timing was not right.

Because the look on Qin Ke’s face when he looked at him with a smile seemed to carry a bit of exhaustion after a busy day.

“Won’t you invite me in?” Qin Ke waved his hand in front of his eyes.

“Oh, come in.”

Song Yunran moved aside, thinking how Qin Ke’s voice also sounded a bit hoarse, “Didn’t you rest well?”

Qin Ke pushed the suitcase in: “A little, I stayed up all night shooting a commercial.”

He closed the door with his backhand, and after a pause, he added, “But I slept on the plane for a while, so I should be able to watch the two episodes that aired today with you.”

Song Yunran secretly regretted, he really shouldn’t have been in such a hurry.

If Qin Ke was in a bad mood because of his tiredness at such an important moment, what if he rejected him directly?

Song Yunran’s expression was grave as he took Qin Ke to the living room and asked after some thought, “You haven’t eaten dinner yet, right?”

Qin Ke nodded: “It’s okay, it’s okay even if I don’t eat.”

As if he didn’t realize that the lights in the house were dimmed a few degrees darker than before today, he directly asked, ” Are we going to start watching the drama now?”

The tone of his voice seems to be quite eager.

Song Yunran thought, ‘Could it be that Qin Ke’s intention is to go home and catch up on sleep immediately after accompanying him to evaluate?’

This is not good.

Song Yunran had a bright idea and said, “I haven’t eaten yet either, so why don’t you go upstairs and rest for a while, and I’ll call you when I’ve made dinner?”

“……” Qin Ke looked at him suspiciously, “You are cooking?”

Song Yunran: “…… No, I’ll heat up the rice.”

In order to ensure the perfect candlelight dinner, he made a special trip to learn how to use the steamer to heat up and ensure the taste of the food before his aunt left.

Qin Ke did not speak, but quietly surveyed him, as if trying to see through his inner plans.

Song Yunran swallowed his throat, and at the critical moment made a move to be angry like a boss: “Do you still listen to dad!”

“Yes.” Qin Ke whispered and laughed, “Then I’ll sleep on the sofa for a while.”

Song Yunran’s hanging heart finally fell.

He just wanted Qin Ke to regain his energy to face his confession, as for whether he wanted to sleep in the bed or on the sofa, it was not an important detail.

Song Yunran turned into the kitchen, and rustily checked the notes left by his aunt, and put a delicious dish into the steamer in order to heat it up. In the midst of the slight hum of the machine, he tiptoed into the living room again to bring in the roses he had hidden on the balcony.

When he passed the sofa, Song Yunran looked at Qin Ke apprehensively, but found that the other party had already fallen asleep.

Qin Ke lay on his back on the sofa, his dark eyes tightly closed, long and thick eyelashes covering them. A layer of faint green was smeared on the bottom of his eyes, as if he was sleeping without any vigilance.

The light shines on his face, dividing his outstanding features into deeper shades of light.

Song Yunran slowed down his breathing and unconsciously squatted down.

His gaze slowly moved from Qin Ke’s eyes, to his lips, which had once made his heart and soul flutter.

The feeling of thirst from the hot spring came up again.

I want to kiss him.

Anyway, Qin Ke has fallen asleep, even if he secretly kisses a little, it is okay, right?

Song Yunran lowered his head, and the moment his lips were about to touch each other, his heart suddenly missed a beat.

He stopped moving as if waking up from a dream, and the retreating drum in his heart was deafening.

What is this!

Does the snow from Hua Ling Village freeze your brain?

You are the president of a company, how can you take advantage of people’s vulnerability!

Song Yunran ruthlessly launched a self-criticism. He finally clenched his teeth and decided to stick to the plan.

The moment he was about to get up, Qin Ke’s eyes, which were closed, opened silently.

He had clear eyes, not even a trace of sleep.

Song Yunran was shocked and did not have time to think carefully before he hastily tried to retreat back.

When he stumbled and was about to sit on the carpet, Qin Ke suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, dragging him back.

Qin Ke chuckled softly, “Gotcha.”

“??”

Song Yunran was about to speak, when he saw Qin Ke lazily propping himself up, and leaned over with his head inclined slightly.

There was no warning, and it seemed like he had been ambushed for a long time.

The man’s warm lips wrapped around his lips amidst the earth-shattering sound of Song Yunran’s heart beating violently.

It is a softer touch than expected, but also a stronger attitude than expected.

Song Yunran’s brain was blank, and he didn’t understand why things had suddenly turned out this way no matter which way.

But in Qin Ke’s heart, it is incredibly clear.

If the person you like is a quirky, brainy and startled little creature, then how do you guarantee that when you strike, he will not run away in fear?

The answer is actually quite simple.

Disguise yourself as prey and just wait for him to come over.

The author has something to say: Sorry for the long wait! I didn’t expect this chapter to be so long.
