Certificate Of Conformity Chapter 10

~

Because he wanted information on Xia Ming's true ident.i.ty, Chen Heng holed himself up in the study when he returned and proceeded to use the computer to track down Xia Ming's detailed information. It took him less than three minutes to understand everything there is to know about the other party.

Xia Ming, 23, the only son of the chairman of Xia Group, currently lives with his family in the super-luxurious manor that the Xia Group spent a lot of money to build. He was previously enrolled in L country's most prestigious university as a business administration major. For some reason, he dropped out of school a month ago and returned home in advance without completing his studies.

Dropped out of school for some reason?

Chen Heng raised his eyebrows and pondered for a few seconds. He continued his search and finally found Xia Ming's medical record which contained a lot of complicated data. After spending a few seconds reading the content, Chen Heng turned the computer off and leaned back on his chair in silent contemplation.

Schizophrenia, ah. He really wasn't able to tell.

A small smile was evoked from his thin lips when Chen Heng carefully recalled Xia Ming's behavior. Although the man was indeed somewhat introverted, he could never have imagined that the other party had this kind of illness. However, this also made him more certain that the man was scheming something.

The proud son of heaven of a large financial group was lowering himself to be your average express delivery guy?

Just thinking about it is ridiculous.

It would seem that this Xia Ming was really coming onto him; he just doesn't know whether the other party simply likes him or he has some other purpose. If Xia Ming truly had feelings for him, and Chen Heng deliberately revealed that he still had feelings for Ou Yichen; what kind of reaction would the young man have?

Chen Heng narrowed his eyes; he really looked forward to it.

The afternoon sun was flooding in through the blinds, and brightening up the room. Chen Heng lazily leaned against the wall with a cup of coffee in his hand, and the warm sunlight fell on his shoulders, outlining his slender and well-proportioned figure.

He contentedly took a sip of his coffee and listened to his colleagues' discussion about the latest gossip.

"Hey, did you know that Xu Bin* was dismissed?"

[T/N: I was confused here, Manager Zhao (from Chapter 4) was the manager of the planning who heckled Chen Heng into attending Qi Wei's welcoming party.  Then on Chapter 5, Manager Zhao became Manager Xu Bin (I sticked to Zhao though)… maybe the planning department had two managers? idk Let's just a.s.sume that Xu Bin is Manager Zhao's given name.]

"Xu Bin is the boss' favorite and his boot-licking skills are top-notch, why would he be dismissed?"

"Who knows; anyway this kind of person doesn't have any other skills other than flattering the boss and I've disliked him for quite a long time."

Everyone said a few more sentences on this piece of gossip before they turned the topic to something else.

Upon hearing this news, Chen Heng felt a bit regret in his heart. It truly was a pity, he had originally wanted to teach that condescending Xu Bin a lesson.

When he returned to his seat, Gossip Expert Liu Hao also told him about Xu Bin's dismissal. After all, Xu Bin's position in the company was fairly high, and he was considered as the boss' confidant; to say that he was dismissed just like that was inconceivable.

"Maybe he made a mistake at work." Chen Heng had no idea.

Liu Hao took a look around and after he was certain that no one was paying them any attention, he moved closer to Chen Heng and whispered: “I heard from the others that before Xu Bin resigned, he was called to Qi Zong's office. I suspect that Qi Zong ratted him out to the boss."

Qi Wei?

Chen Heng brows knitted slightly. "Wasn't Xu Bin very enthusiastic about Qi Zong? He even prepared a welcoming party and what not, so it shouldn't have been him."

"I'm positive it's him. The boss hasn't come back from his trip yet, and Qi Zong has the highest authority in the company. I heard that the boss admires Qi Zong and listens to him." Liu Hao said, then his face turned doubtful. "I just don't know when Xu Bin offended Qi Zong."

Chen Heng didn't believe that Xu Bin would go and offend Qi Wei. Looking at his eagerness and enthusiasm for Qi Wei, Xu Bin's just short of having a tail that wags whenever he sees him. How could someone like that possibly offend Qi Wei?

If Xu Bin did offend anyone, then it would be Chen Heng.

Wait a minute, Chen Heng couldn't help but recall the matter of Xu Bin ordering him to apologize to Qi Wei. Don't tell me that Qi Wei dismissed Xu Bin because of him?

Oh, it seems that this Qi Wei values him very much, ah.

After Song Wenze and Ou Yichen reconciled, these two people's ardent relations.h.i.+p appeared to be even better than before. Every time Chen Heng came home from work, he would be greeted by their intimate displays of affection. For example, right at this moment, Song Wenze had his head on top of Ou Yichen's legs, and Ou Yichen was helping him clean out his ears.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Song Wenze glanced at Chen Heng who was changing his shoes by the entrance. In a clingy and sticky manner, he called out: "Brother, you're back."

"En." Chen Heng avoided Song Wenze's gaze and was barely able to squeeze out a smile. "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Apparently very satisfied with the expression on the man's face that looked like he was forcing himself to smile, the youth concealed the dark look that appeared in his eyes and with his soft voice, he coquettishly said: "I love everything that brother makes."

"There's still some dumplings in the fridge. Should we eat that tonight?"

"Okay, ah." The youth's voice had not yet fallen, when his eyebrows furrowed and he hissed, "Yichen, you're hurting me."

Ou Yichen hurriedly pulled out the ear pick and anxiously asked: "Are you all right? Does it still hurt?"

Song Wenze touched his ear and looked at him doubtfully. In Chen Heng's presence, he asked, "What were you thinking just now ah, why do you keep looking at my brother?"

"I…I wasn't."

Song Wenze sneered and sat up straight. He took the ear pick from Ou Yichen's hand and spoke in half truths: "Brother is mine. Don't even think of robbing him from me."

"What are you talking about?" Ou Yichen quickly glanced at Chen Heng. "He is your brother and my good friend; what am I robbing you of?"Ou Yichen's gaze held a touch of complexity as he said this, though it was only fleeting.

The incident at the hotel last time, it would seem that this man has already forgotten about it, but he still hasn't let go.

He is fully aware that he already had Song Wenze; that he shouldn't have feelings for this man that go beyond friends.h.i.+p, that he shouldn't long for him, but he can't control himself. Even though he and Song Wenze are on good terms again, Ou Yichen realized that his desire for Su Yi did not diminish but was increasing instead. It was to the point that he even had spring dreams* about him.

[T/N: spring dream=erotic dream/wet dream]

This has never happened before.

"All right, all right, I'm going to cook, you two better not quarrel again ah." Chen Heng shook his head and turned around to go to the kitchen.

Ou Yichen's gaze unconsciously followed Chen Heng's back until he felt a sharp pain in his arm. He cried out in pain, and Song Wenze growled under his breath: "What are you doing!"

Song Wenze put away his smile; his beautiful face was expressionless.

"I told you, don't even think of taking my brother from me."

"Who wants to take him from you ah." Maybe he was lacking confidence in his answer, but Ou Yichen touched the part of his arm that had turned blue because of the pinch, and whispered: "Shén jīng bìng*."

[T/N:  this means ‘mental case' or ‘neurotic'… but in TMK the MC's name was Shen Jin Bing, since it sounded similar to shen jing bing, her randomly generated game ID was ‘nutjob']

Song Wenze didn't hear it but he was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he laughed and happily pulled on Ou Yichen's arm, leaning his head on the other man's shoulder. "I was just playing with you, I know you like me." As he spoke, he looked at the bruise on Ou Yichen's skin with distress. "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Ou Yichen stroked the youth's hair and emphasized his words: "The person I like is you."

However, even though his mouth kept saying that he liked Song Wenze, Ou Yichen knocked on the door of Chen Heng's room in the dead of night.

The man opened his eyes in the dark, listening to the sounds of movement at the door, he asked: "Who is it?"

"It's me."

Ou Yichen's low voice was heard outside the door.

Chen Heng turned on the lights, put on his slippers and walked towards the door. It opened with a loud creak.

"Is something the matter…..." He was pushed past the door and his back slammed heavily against the wall before the words had even left his lips.

Chen Heng made a m.u.f.fled groan, and the next moment, Ou Yichen's burning hot body covered his; trapping him in his arms.

"Su Yi." Hot breath coming out in puffs sounded in his ear, and the voice of the man trapping him was pained and bitter. "What should I do?"

Chen Heng pushed against Ou Yichen's shoulders with both hands. "Yichen, don't do this."

"I didn't want to do this, but as I slept on Wenze's bed, the person I was thinking of was you." His outstandingly handsome face was filled with helplessness and the man lowered his voice as he said: "Su Yi, I really want you." ”

In regards to Ou Yichen's repeating words and actions; Chen Heng's patience had already been completely used up. His face turned cold. “I can't share you with Ā Ze.”

Ou Yichen heard his words and was silent.

Chen Heng's eyes darkened upon seeing his response, then he suddenly changed his expression. Under the dim light, his clear face was covered by a mysterious and fascinating air.

"If you're willing to break up with Ā Ze completely, I'll give you anything you want." He sighed in Ou Yichen's ear, and his slender fingertips slowly ghosted over the man's throat, feeling it tremble under his touch.

I really want to cut off his neck.

It was in the middle of this ambiguous atmosphere that an implicitly indignant voice rang out from the door. "What are you doing?"

Chen Heng opened his eyes and peeked over Ou Yichen's shoulders to look at the tall and slender young man. At this moment, the other party's pair of beautiful eyes was filled with sadness, anger and grievances; he had a complex look on his face, akin to one you'd see on an abandoned child's, as he stood outside the door alone.

Seeing the youth show such a heart-broken look for the first time, Chen Heng only felt contempt in his heart and pushed Ou Yichen away.

"Ā Ze, it's not what you think, you listen to me."

Just as he was about to walk towards the youth; Ou Yichen, who was beside him, seemed to have woken up and quickly ran to Song Wenze's side. "Wenze, don't misunderstand. I couldn't sleep, so I looked for Su Yi thinking that we could chat for a while."

Chen Heng didn't think that Song Wenze would believe such a stupid excuse, but for some reason, the youth actually reached out and embraced Ou Yichen. While resting his chin on top of the man's shoulder, he stared intently at Chen Heng, saying: “En, I believe you."

I just don't know whether this sentence was said to Ou Yichen or to Chen Heng.

The corner of Chen Heng's mouth pulled up into a faint smile. “It's late, and I'm very sleepy. You two should go back to your room and sleep.”

Song Wenze listened and his eyes flashed. Pus.h.i.+ng Ou Yichen away, he faced Chen Heng and took the initiative to extend his arms. The man paused before reaching out and hugging the youth. Then he heard the youth whisper in his ear: "So, as long as I break up with Ou Yichen, you'll be with him?"

It turns out that he heard everything.

The youth proceeded to gently say: "Brother, I won't give you that chance." Song Wenze withdrew his hands and blinked innocently at Chen Heng. "Good night!"

Chen Heng's lips twitched slightly: "Good night."

After Song Wenze and Ou Yichen left, Chen Heng closed the door, and under the dim light, his eyes seemed to be experiencing a storm.

Since Ou Yichen repeatedly provoked him, he doesn't mind spending a little more time in getting rid of him. Even if the system interfered, he still has the means to get other people to do his dirty work.
