Seduced the Obsessive NPC and Ran - Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Yan Jinge arrived at the entrance of Song Zhengjun’s company with Lin Jiu and the others just as Song Zhengjun was striding toward them. He pulled open the car door and scanned Yan Jinge from head to toe. Once he confirmed Yan Jinge was unharmed, he asked, “How were you bullied?”

Yan Jinge blinked. “Let’s talk at home.”

“Mhm.”

Song Zhengjun hummed in response, acting as if the other people in the car didn’t exist. “I have another meeting to attend. Will you wait for me upstairs?”

“Okay.” Yan Jinge got out of the car, waved goodbye to the people behind him, and followed Song Zhengjun into the company.

The two of them had walked through the company hand-in-hand before, which was essentially a public announcement of their relationship. The employees had gossiped about it for a while and all understood that Yan Jinge wasn’t some little plaything of Song Zhengjun’s-otherwise, Song Zhengjun wouldn’t treat him with such importance.

Now, everyone was used to seeing Yan Jinge at the company. Upon seeing him, they all offered friendly smiles.

Yan Jinge returned their smiles one by one.

While they were in the elevator, Song Zhengjun stared at the jumping floor numbers and suddenly said, “Don’t always smile at strangers.”

Yan Jinge was confused. “?”

He instinctively replied, “They aren’t exactly strangers, are they? They’re your employees.”

Song Zhengjun gave Yan Jinge a long look.

His hands tightened slightly as he let out a breath. After only a second, he whispered, “Forget it, I can’t hold back.”

Before Yan Jinge could ask what he meant, he was pinned into the corner of the elevator.

A gentle kiss descended, pressing against Yan Jinge’s eyelashes.

Then his nose.

Then those soft lips.

The kiss grew increasingly passionate.

Yan Jinge parted his lips slightly, tilting his head back to passively endure Song Zhengjun’s invasion. He only offered a hint of a response occasionally, but even a slight movement triggered a response like a torrential storm.

The sound of their tongues tangling seemed to be amplified countless times within the elevator. It was enough to make anyone blush.

When the kiss ended, Song Zhengjun pressed his thumb against the corner of Yan Jinge’s mouth.

His eyes were dark. “Don’t go back to the guest room tonight.”

As he spoke, the elevator doors opened.

From the corner of his eye, Yan Jinge saw a circle of Song Zhengjun’s assistants standing outside, presumably waiting for him to start the meeting.

His face flushed hot, and he hurriedly reached out to push Song Zhengjun away.

Song Zhengjun didn’t budge.

Seeing that the elevator doors were about to close in front of everyone again, Yan Jinge had no choice but to say, “I promise.”

The corners of Song Zhengjun’s mouth curled up as he naturally took Yan Jinge’s hand. He turned to face the people at the elevator door without a hint of embarrassment. Instead, he looked like a peacock that had successfully displayed its feathers. He raised an eyebrow and said smugly, “What? Never seen a couple in love before?”

His tone was incredibly obnoxious.

The assistants: “…”

Yan Jinge didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He covered half his face with his hand. “…I’m sorry.”

Once the two had walked away quickly and entered the office, the assistants looked at each other.

One of them couldn’t help but laugh. “I didn’t expect Chairman Song to be like this when he’s in love… I used to be quite afraid of him. I felt like he was always so serious when he spoke and rarely showed any expression.”

But looking at it now, even though he was the Chairman, he was still just an ordinary person.

There was no need to be afraid.

“That was hilarious just now.”

“To be honest, I’m already starting to feel second-hand embarrassment for Yan Jinge.”

“By the way, when I was searching for Yan Jinge online earlier, I saw that he actually had a CP from that survival show. His name was Yi Haotian. There were a lot of fans for that ship back then, but it was probably just hype. It must be fake, right?”

“Definitely. Most of those are just ‘pure brotherly’ friendships.”

“The entertainment industry loves that kind of hype. It’s a win-win.”

“But why do I feel like Yi Haotian got all the benefits? Our Chairman’s wife has been constantly scolded by Yi Haotian’s solo fans for ‘clinging’ to him, being a ‘useless pretty face,’ and ‘leeching’ off him…”

“That just proves they have nothing going on. Otherwise, if they were a couple, he’d definitely protect him. Who would do nothing and let their fans treat their lover like that? It’s obvious he was using Yan Jinge as a stepping stone to climb up. Now that he has our Chairman, will he ever have to suffer again? Besides, I looked it up-that star named Yi Haotian isn’t even as handsome as the Chairman. If it were me, I’d definitely choose the Chairman.”

***

While Song Zhengjun was in his meeting, Yan Jinge sat on the sofa and waited.

He casually opened Weibo on his phone.

Yan Jinge wasn’t particularly interested in entertainment news. His social media accounts were currently managed by Lin Jiu. After he joined the cast, the production team had announced Yan Jinge’s role as the Third Male Lead. Lin Jiu had forwarded the post, and now it was flooded with countless comments.

[With Yan Jinge’s skills, he can play the Third Male Lead? Is this a joke?]

[I’m a fan of the original novel, and I’ve officially turned into a hater.]

[Nooo, Wang Li was my favorite character in the original! Even though Yan Jinge is indeed good-looking, he’s just a ‘silly sweet’ type. He might be okay as Wang Jialiang, but he can’t do Wang Li!!!]

[This drama is ruined.]

[I rushed here as fast as I could for the ‘sugar’!]

[This seems to be the first time the two brothers are on the same stage since the group disbanded, right? I’m moved to tears.]

[Sisters, think about it carefully. Jinge’s manager has always been useless, and his resources have been terrible. This role doesn’t seem like something Yan Jinge could land on his own. This must be a resource given to him by our Haotian! Waaa, I believe in love again.]

[Dammit, he’s clinging to him again.]
“Is it fun to leech off my brother’s blood?”

“No way… Did Haotian really give his resources to Yan Jinge?”

“It must have been him. Someone asked about it under his Weibo yesterday, and he responded saying they’re brothers in the same group and need to look out for each other. Although he didn’t say it explicitly, only he would be this kind-hearted.”

“Ugh, he can look out for anyone else, but why bother with that useless pretty boy?”

Yan Jinge raised an eyebrow, gaining a new appreciation for the thickness of Yi Haotian’s skin.

The man was actually taking all the credit for Yan Jinge’s casting in the production.

However, Yi Haotian wasn’t a fool. He hadn’t stated it directly, instead using vague language about brothers looking out for one another. That way, even if it was later revealed that he hadn’t helped, he could claim he meant he was mentoring Yan Jinge during filming.

Regardless, the narrative was whatever Yi Haotian said it was.

Yan Jinge smiled and immediately unfollowed Yi Haotian.

A short while later, Song Zhengjun returned.

Yan Jinge looked up and saw Song Zhengjun standing motionless at the door.

With a deep frown, the man stared at Yan Jinge, his gaze carrying an indescribable, lingering intensity.

Yan Jinge tilted his head. “?”

He felt a strange sensation in his heart.

He felt… as if this Song Zhengjun was different from usual, yet in his heart of hearts, he felt that this version of the man was the one who was truly normal.

Song Zhengjun’s voice was raspy. “Come here.”

Yan Jinge walked over.

As they stood close together, Yan Jinge thought Song Zhengjun was going to kiss him. After a moment’s thought, he proactively tilted his head up slightly. To his surprise, Song Zhengjun pulled a document from behind his back and presented it to him. “Take a look at this.”

Yan Jinge: “…”

Yan Jinge stepped back a bit to take it. After a quick scan, a clear outline of the situation formed in his mind.

“What’s wrong?”

“Any thoughts?”

“…A few.”

“Then follow me.”

Mystified, Yan Jinge followed Song Zhengjun with the document in hand. Before long, they arrived at a glass-walled conference room. It was packed with over a dozen people who all turned to look at them simultaneously, as if someone had flipped a switch.

Song Zhengjun pushed the door open and said coldly, “I’ve brought the person.” He then turned to Yan Jinge. “Feel free to share your thoughts on this document.”

Yan Jinge: “…”

In his previous lives, Yan Jinge had been a CEO. He knew how to make decisions and exactly where the problems lay. He glanced at the lower seats, knowing those were usually for assistants, and asked a few questions. Once he understood the basic situation, he shared his interpretation and concluded, “So, in my opinion, we should be cautious with this investment.”

That was the polite version. During his analysis, every sentence had basically screamed: *This is a trap, and anyone who invests is an idiot.*

When he finished, the conference room fell silent.

“Did you hear that?”

Song Zhengjun scanned the room and asked coldly, “Does anyone still oppose my previous proposal?”

No one uttered a word.

Only then did Song Zhengjun say, “Fine. Meeting adjourned.”

The dozen or so people stood up one after another, heads bowed in unison as they hurried out of the room.

As they passed Yan Jinge, it felt as though they were even holding their breath.

Once they were the only ones left, Yan Jinge asked, “What was that about?”

“It’s nothing major,”

Song Zhengjun said nonchalantly. “I want to pick an auspicious day to go and register our marriage. When that happens, you’ll be the second-in-command of the company. My plan is for you to have decision-making power, but they were a bit worried, so I called you in. I hope you’re not angry.”

Yan Jinge was surprised.

Wasn’t this a sugar daddy relationship?

How did it suddenly turn into a marriage?

Yan Jinge reminded him, “Marriage isn’t a game, and neither is managing a company.”

Song Zhengjun looked deeply at Yan Jinge. “I know. I can bear all the consequences. Besides… this is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. I was afraid that if I didn’t say it now, I wouldn’t get another chance.”

From the moment he had watched Yan Jinge vanish before his eyes, he had gone mad.

To find Yan Jinge, he had forcibly awakened from the void, tearing himself apart and scattering himself across various Small Worlds. Sometimes he was lucky enough to encounter Yan Jinge, but most of the time, he spent his entire life alone until death.

Now that Yan Jinge bore his Imprint, he no longer had to wait passively; he could actively seek him out.

At the same time, his Soul Fragments were gradually being recovered.

And the more fragments he reclaimed, the stronger the resentment and desire in his bones became.

The more time he spent with Yan Jinge, the more he wanted to possess him.

-Why should he continue to waste time?

“Jinge, everything I have, including myself… is yours.”

Song Zhengjun’s dark eyes gazed quietly at Yan Jinge with an unspeakable madness. His finger rested gently near his heart, right over a blood-red thread that only he could see.

“I will be with you forever, through every lifetime.”

The other end of that thread was tied to Yan Jinge’s ankle.

…So, don’t even think about ever getting rid of me.
