Lu Benlai reflexively turned to look at the doorway, only to see that the person whom they had been talking about, Lin Jiage, had returned. So, he instinctively shut his mouth.
On the other hand, Xia Shangzhou, who was too immersed in his game to pay heed to Lin Jiage’s return, noticed that Lu Benlai had gone silent, so he continued on, “Yeah, I feel the same way too, Our boss feels like our dau…”
“Boss!” Before Xia Shangzhou could finish his words, Lu Benlai immediately cut right in to silence him off.
“What boss? Who do you think you’re scaring!” Xia Shangzhou snapped back as he sniped down yet another target in the game. Then, he carried on with the topic they had been talking about earlier, “… Our boss feels like our daughter. I wonder if he’ll return often to meet us after we marry him out.”
Xia Shangzhou even began singing a little when it came to the last few words.
Lu Benlai tried to cough to hint to Xia Shangzhou to stop speaking. However, the rock-brained Xia Shangzhou simply wasn’t sharp enough to catch any hint. He even replied, “What are you coughing about? Are you jealous of my singing? Heh, shall I sing a bit more then?”
Running your mouth needs some skill. Do it well, and you can ruin others. Do it poorly, and you’ll be the one to die… Old Xia, if heaven tries to kill you, I can still pit myself against heaven. But I can’t help you if you dive single-mindedly straight to your doom!
Lu Benlai sat upright as he continued playing the game, making full sure not to respond to Xia Shangzhou’s words at all.
Despite so, Xia Shangzhou still didn’t notice that anything was amiss. He really began singing once more, “… Remember to come home often to take a look~ Come home often to take a look~ Even if it’s just treating gramps to a bun or have some soup~”
But as Xia Shangzhou sang, he felt a chilling air approaching him from behind, causing shivers to run down his spine. He instinctively turned his head around, and before him stood a towering Lin Jiage.
His hand trembled out of sheer shock, causing his phone to crash straight down to the floor. Even his words had reduced to a stutter as he spoke, “B-b-boss, y-y-you…”
Xia Shangzhou kept tripping over the word ‘you’ for a long time, but he was unable to come up with anything else to say. In the end, he chose to zip up his mouth and shoot Lu Benlai a piercing glare.
Receiving Xia Shangzhou’s look, Lu Benlai responded with a shrug to show that he had already tried his best.
The furious Xia Shangzhou shot him a ‘Just you wait!’ expression before turning his attention back to Lin Jiage, saying, “Boss, are you tired? Shall I massage your legs for you?”
Lin Jiage didn’t respond.
With a fawning smile on his face, Xia Shangzhou tried once more, “Boss, are you thirsty? Shall I get you a cup of water?”
As he spoke, he shot to his feet and grabbed Lin Jiage’s cup. He headed to the washroom to wash it clean and filled up with refreshing, clear water before handing it over to Lin Jiage.
However, Lin Jiage didn’t take the cup of water.
Xia Shangzhou thought that Lin Jiage was furious at him for his earlier singing, so he tried to fawn on him with sweet words, “Boss, congratulations on becoming a couple with Little Junior. I wish you two a sweet couple life…”
Before Xia Shangzhou could finish his words, Lin Jiage suddenly seemed to have received the greatest shock in his life. His composed expression suddenly turned icily cold, and he glared at Xia Shangzhou and hollered, “Get lost!”
Xia Shangzhou was so terrified by the menacing air that Lin Jiage was putting off that he found himself unable to breathe.
Just as he was thinking that he was really doomed this time around, Lin Jiage suddenly walked past him and headed straight to the balcony with a vexed look on his face.
After Lin Jiage smashed the balcony door shut forcefully, Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai glanced at one another for a good three seconds before speaking up in unison, “Did our boss fall out of love? Lin Jiage actually fell out of love?”

An inconceivable look surfaced on Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou’s faces simultaneously.
The two of them looked at one another for another good three seconds before speaking up with amazing unison that it almost looked as if they were sharing the same script, “Am I dreaming? This must be a dream, right?”
Lu Benlai shot Xia Shangzhou a disdainful look as he said, “Can you stop talking at the same time with me?”
Xia Shangzhou sneered coldly as he responded, “You’re the one who is copying me! Do you think that I’ll be so bored as to intentionally say the same words as you?”
Lu Benlai shrugged with a seemingly magnanimous attitude and said, “Forget it, I’m in no mood to fight with you now. Right now, I’m more concerned about our boss’ happiness.”
“Hah! What you’re truly concerned about is the number of your goddess, isn’t it so?” Xia Shangzhou unhesitatingly exposed Lu Benlai’s hypocrisy before sighing deeply to himself. “Boss must you feeling horrible at the moment.
“Stop saying words that you don’t mean. I reckon that you’re more concerned about your future and your freedom!” Lu Benlai ripped off the mantle of duplicity that Xia Shangzhou had put on.
Several seconds later, Lu Benlai sighed deeply and added, “But speaking of which, our Little Junior sure is amazing. She actually snubbed our boss! From this day on, Little Junior shall be my idol!”
“There are so many women who have offered their hearts to our boss, but our Little Junior unhesitatingly rejected him. This really reminds me of the song…” As Xia Shangzhou spoke, he began singing once more, “… Those who love me devote their hearts to me, yet I grieve in sorrow over the one that I love…”
Lu Benlai covered his ears as he exclaimed, “Speak properly!”
Xia Shangzhou: “As expected of the goddess that I look up to! She’s like a lone tree that stands proudly aside from the rest of the forest, completely unlike the other shallow women who only looks at faces!”
Lu Benlai: “Hey, what do you mean by ‘other shallow women’? Let me tell you that my future wife isn’t inside that lousy category of yours!”
Xia Shangzhou: “Hehe…”
Lu Benlai: “It’s the truth anyway! If my future wife is really someone who only looks at faces, she would have already given me her phone number the first time we met!”
“Uweh!” Xia Shangzhou clutched his stomach as he feigned a puking action.
It was at that moment that the door of the balcony opened once more and Lin Jiage walked back into the room.
Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai immediately put on a prim and proper look as they called out “Boss!” one after another.
However, Lin Jiage looked as if he hadn’t heard them. He nonchalantly walked past them and entered the washroom.
After the door to the washroom closed, Xia Shangzhou struck his chest as he gasped for air desperately and said, “This won’t do. The atmosphere is simply too heavy, I can’t take it!”
Lu Benlai: “We have to think of a way to console our boss, or else I’ll really die of asphyxiation tonight!”
Ten minutes later, Lin Jiage came out from the washroom.
Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou traded glances at one another before calling out “Boss!” with an exceptionally bright smile on their faces as they gathered around Lin Jiage’s side.
Lu Benlai: “Boss, you also know that girls tend to be reserved and shy. It’s only normal for your first confession to fall through. She just wants to test your true heart!”
Xia Shangzhou: “That’s right, boss! Do you remember a movie called 101 Proposals? The male lead in that show proposed to the female lead 101 times before he finally succeeded!”
Lu Benlai: “Ohhh! I watched that movie too, and it was really heartwarming. Boss, a single failure means nothing at all. Just look at how many times I have been slapped by my future wife in the face—my face is nearly swollen enough to float into the air—but I’m still pursuing her relentlessly!”
Xia Shangzhou: “Boss, don’t worry. You’ll be able to succeed next time. I believe in you!”
