Secretary Chen has a Headache Again Today!!! - Chapter 7
Chapter 7 – “Senior?”
“Young master, I know you don’t like blind dates.”
Facing the two frightened young men at the dinner table, Uncle Zhong was very calm, “So this time it’s Chen Xun’s blind date, so you don’t have to worry.”
Lian Xufeng clenched the chopsticks in his hand,gritting his teeth, “Uncle Zhong, this is the matter of Chen Xun’s lifelong happiness, don’t you want to ask his opinion about it first?”
Both of them turned their eyes to Chen Xun.
The young Omega was in a trance for a moment, pursed his lips, “Dad, I don’t want to…”
“You are almost thirty.” Zhong Bo did not allow Chen Xun to refuse. “Young master, if you don’t get married yet, and have an unmarried Omega following you around every day, how will others perceive that?”
“I don’t care!” Lian Xufeng said bluntly, “It’s Chen Xun’s freedom to get married or not. I don’t care what others think of me.”
But Chen Xun did care.
Uncle Zhong looked at Chen Xun. The Omega had already let go of the cutlery in his hands and sat quietly at the dining table.
Lian Xufeng is a single bachelor in the circle. He is in his prime, has a prominent family background and a successful career. Logically, he should not be short of a partner.
But Lian Xufeng himself is not smart enough, and there are a few suitable Omegas who approach him quite actively.
Some people say that Chen Xun is the Lian family’s “child bride” and was arranged to marry Lian Xufeng since he was a child.
However, this kind of rumor was rarely heard, especially after Lian Xufeng started dating, few people believed it anymore.
Unfortunately… Lian Xufeng repeatedly stood up all his blind dates and refused to cooperate, so some people started spreading the unfounded rumor.
Chen Xun raised his eyes and looked directly into his father’s clear eyes.
He didn’t look at Lian Xufeng’s nervous expression, and said calmly, “Send me the address.”
•=•=•
“You really want to go on a blind date?!”
“Chen Xun? Chen Xun!”
On the long and ancient styled bridge, Lian Xufeng quickened his pace and grabbed Chen Xun’s arm.
Chen Xun turned around, shook off Lian Xufeng’s hand, looked at him with a conflicted look, then turned and walked forward.
“If you are afraid of Uncle Zhong, you can just let me tell him why you don’t want to go.”
Lian Xufeng stood in front of Chen Xun and angrily urged Chen Xun to seek justice.
“A Feng.” Chen Xun called Lian Xufeng.
Lian Xufeng was stunned, and suddenly he couldn’t remember how long it had been since Chen Xun had called him by his nickname.
He then had some hope, grabbed Chen Xun’s wrist and pulled him towards him, pleading in a low voice: “Xun Xun, please don’t go on a blind date, okay?”
‘The heart in my chest was pounding uncontrollably.’
Chen Xun tried his best to control his expression. After a while, he tilted his neck and looked straight into Lian Xufeng’s eyes.
“I want to go.”
The Omega pulled his hand away from the Alpha’s.
“Lian Xufeng, you can’t be so hypocritical.” Chen Xun took a deep breath, “You’ve been on so many blind dates, why can’t I?”
“I am a human being. I have to get married and have children. Do I have to be your subordinate and be lonely for the rest of my life?”
“I…I didn’t mean that…” Lian Xufeng stuttered for the first time in his life.
He couldn’t even think of a reason to stop Chen Xun from going on a blind date!
As soon as Chen Xun saw his expression, he knew that Lian Xufeng was in a mess.
Just like a child who didn’t want his best friend to make new friends, Lian Xufeng just didn’t want to add one more person in between their friendship.
While Lian Xufeng was confused, Chen Xun left first.
The only person left in the courtyard was the frowning Alpha.
The pool water is clear and cool in summer, and the sound of cicadas chirping could be heard in his ears.
Lian Xufeng turned his head and stared at Chen Xun’s receding back, muttering in a low voice: “But, you don’t want to…”
•=•=•
“Knock, knock.”
Just as Chen Xun was about to go to bed, he heard someone knocking on the door.
He stood up and walked to the door, turned the doorknob, and looked at the person who came in puzzledly, “Dad?”
The first thing Zhong Bo saw was Chen Xun’s skin, which had turned red from wearing a collar all day.
He quickly closed the door and asked Chen Xun to sit on the small coffee table in the corner of the room.
“What’s going on?”
Chen Xun flinched when the cold hand touched the gland, but still did not dare to resist his father’s touch.
“Nothing, I just had an allergic reaction a few days ago.”
“Don’t lie to me just like how you lie to the young master.”
Chen Xun was silent.
‘You must never tell anyone about having sex with Lian Xufeng.’
Not to mention his old-fashioned and serious father.
Since childhood, Chen Xun has grown up listening to Zhong Bo’s teachings.. The distinction between servants and masters must be clear, and as an Omega, one must respect and love oneself…
But he didn’t follow any of them. With his love for Lian Xufeng, he gave away his body just after a moment of hesitation.
A hand slowly covered the Omega’s soft black hair.
“Okay, what are you afraid of?” Zhong Bo bent down and stared into Chen Xun’s slightly red eyes. “You should also put on the suppression patch when you sleep, otherwise the pheromones will flow out.”
Chen Xun raised his hand and held his father’s hand on his shoulder, “Dad, I just…I just…”
‘Really like him.’
A teardrop fell on the back of Zhongbo’s hand.
He seemed to see himself from decades ago, the self who was like a velvet flower and could only cry.
“It’s better to give up now than to be torn apart later when both sides get hurt.”
Chen Xun nodded silently. He knew that he and Lian Xufeng could never be together in this life, even if they were highly compatible.
Whether Lian Xufeng loves him or not, there can only be “friendship” in between them.
The cicadas chirped incessantly that night, disturbing the people.
Chen Xun tossed and turned all night, staring intently until dawn, before he got up in a daze and went to work.
•=•=•
Weiming’s employees had recently been feeling a sense of panic as if a dark cloud was looming over their heads.
For some reason, Secretary Chen had been staying in his office all the time. His desk in the president’s office was covered in dust, but he had never been there once.
Not to mention Lian Xufeng.
He had a grim face from morning to night, but his swearing skills had reached a new level.
“What’s going on with you guys?” After finally making it to Friday, Wu Tingmiao couldn’t help but ask one of the protagonists of the gossip.
Chen Xun turned off the computer and blinked in confusion, “What’s going on? Nothing’s wrong.”
“It’s still okay?” Wu Tingmiao sighed, “Do you know how many departments President Lian has scolded recently? Except for Engineer He who has a heart disease, the heads of all the departments have been scolded by him!”
That was indeed true. Although Chen Xun reduced the number of times he met with Lian Xufeng, he still attended every meeting and witnessed Lian Xufeng’s rage with his own eyes.
However, Chen Xun did not think it was his fault. “The overseas business department is not going well. Other departments only care about their own performance and ignore unity and cooperation. It is reasonable to scold them. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Haha.” Wu Tingmiao muttered, “You two are wearing the same pants: capitalists.”
Everyone knows that Chen Xun is Lian Xufeng’s blood pressure medicine. As long as Chen Xun is around, Lian Xufeng can more or less control his emotions and give everyone some face.
But now it seemed like something unpleasant had happened between the two of them. Chen Xun had just turned a blind eye and Xufeng was randomly firing his Samadhi True Fire without distinguishing any targets!
But it was hard for those workers.
“Don’t spread rumors.” Chen Xun absentmindedly leaned on the table and glanced through his phone.
After his father told him about the blind date that day, he sent him the other party’s WeChat address.
The other party is a university professor, a male Alpha, who just turned 30 this year. He is a high-quality man no matter how one looked at him, and is not someone who would fall to the level of a blind date.
However, each family had its own secrets, and Chen Xun didn’t care, so he discussed the meeting time with the other party.
Originally, they wanted to meet during the weekend, but the other party said that there was a seminar during the weekend which he had to attend, so they made an appointment to have dinner together after they got off work on Friday. The other party even insisted that he would come to pick him up after work.
Chen Xun was bored, so he opened the circle of friends of his blind date and took a look.
This person’s circle of friends only had a few posts, all of which were about academic research. But surprisingly, what he teaches is the literature that Chen Xun studied in college.
Wu Tingmiao looked weird. ‘Oh my god, did the weather change today?’
After getting off work, Chen Xun neither worked overtime nor left. Instead, he laid down and played with his mobile phone.
He glanced at the sun outside the window. It didn’t set in the east, did it?
Chen Yan, who was about to get off work, saw the two of them chatting together and came over curiously, “Secretary Chen, Brother Wu, aren’t you going to get off work?”
“Oh, right away.”
“I have a date tonight.”
Wu Tingmiao was startled, and immediately pointed his index finger at Chen Xun, “Date?!”
Chen Xun covered his ears and closed his eyes, “What? I can’t go on a date?”
“No, no…” Wu Tingmiao’s jaw dropped to the ground in exaggeration, “You, a workaholic, actually have the heart to fall in love?!”
That was not the case…
Chen Xun lowered his eyes. It was just to comfort his father and to make himself give up on Lian Xufeng.
‘If the other party sees that I am such a boring Omega, he would probably cut off contact with me quickly and look for another partner.’
As he was thinking about it, his phone suddenly vibrated.
[Bai Ze: I’m downstairs at your company.]
Chen Xun waved his phone at the two of them, raised his eyebrows and smiled, “I’ll leave first.”
“Hey!” Wu Tingmiao was too anxious to stop him, and jumped up and down in the office, “You’re leaving now! Who are you going with?!”
He thought he and Chen Xun were already friends, but he didn’t expect that Chen Xun didn’t even tell him that he was in a relationship!
‘Damn it! Damn it!’
Wu Tingmiao complained about Chen Xun while walking out of the office with Chen Yan, “Don’t you think that guy is too mean? He forgot about me as his friend after falling in love!”
“Who are you talking about?”
Wu Tingmiao thought it was Chen Yan who was asking him, and told without even raising his head, “Of course, it’s Chen Xun!”
The next second, his sleeve was gently pulled, “Brother Wu…it’s President Lian.”
Seeing Alpha’s dark blue face, Wu Tingmiao stepped back in fear, “President Lian! I, I, I didn’t mean to say that about Secretary Chen…”
Lian Xufeng didn’t care how scared he was and quickly asked, “You just said Chen Xun is in love? Who is he in love with?”
Wu Tingmiao scratched his head and stammered, “I don’t know, Chen Xun just said he was going on a date…”
“Very good. They already made an appointment.” Lian Xufeng didn’t know why he was so angry.
But he just felt unhappy. How could a stranger who just arrived easily steal all of Chen Xun’s attention?
‘No, Xunxun is so innocent, what if he gets cheated on?’
He had to go and see!
Before Wu Tingmiao could recover, the Alpha left like a whirlwind, leaving the two of them standing there in a daze, looking at each other.
“What’s going on?” Wu Tingmiao said aggrievedly.
Chen Yan just shook his head in confusion.
As the protagonist at the center of the chaos, Chen Xun was completely unaware of what had just happened.
He followed the crowd out of the building and accurately found his blind date’s car at the door.
A white BMW with a market value of hundreds of thousands of dollars. From his point of view, the other party did not seem like someone who can’t find a partner and could only go on blind dates.
Chen Xun walked towards the white car and suddenly felt that the person looked familiar.
The person got out of the car. The moment he saw Chen Xun clearly, his eyes were full of surprise, “Chen Xun?”
Chen Xun looked towards the direction of the voice and was also stunned, “Senior?”
