Everyday, Boss Is Pretending To Be Weak

EBPW Chapter 43.2

Chapter 43.2 I’m just afraid you’ll get hurt (2)

He Zhou hummed in acknowledgement. “I know. Ah Yi.”

Wen Renyi heard this and a trace of happiness arose in his heart. He held He Zhou’s hand and continued. “Then you…”

“I’m just afraid that you’ll get hurt.”He Zhou said in deadpan.

The room was filled with an awkward silence for a minute and Wen Renyi took a gulp of water silently. He then stood up and calmly said. “Go take a rest first. I’ll be going to the study room to handle some company work.”

He Zhou watched Wen Renyi’s figure as he left. When he returned to the bedroom and closed the doors, he broke out in laughter at once.

Seeing Ah Yi shrivel up was really quite amusing.

Jing University Campus’s Assembly Hall.

Under Ding Zhi’s guidance, He Zhou arrived at the overcrowded hall. Ding Zhi was still in the middle of explaining to him. “Master, it seems that a young entrepreneur is visiting us today. The school had specially invited him to do a lecture so all of the people in our department came over.”

He spoke for nearly two hours without stopping for rest. When the lecture came to an end, the school director invited him for a meal, Qi Zhao smiled and said. “I’ve always heard that Jing University has been hiding hidden dragons and crouching tigers(1). I feel very honored to have seen so many remarkable students today.”

  1. Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers: talented individuals

The director heard this and thought it was natural to call over a few students to accompany them so when He Feng, who was staying in the library, caught news of this, he felt extremely stupefied.

He had always been an introvert. He rarely joined any gathering that was held, so he was unaware that Qin Zhao had come to give a lecture at his school. When he received the notice for companionship, he immediately wanted to refuse it. And when he arrived at the gathering venue, seeing that the person that he was supposed to accompany was Qin Zhao, his feeling of refusal became even stronger. 

But since he was already there, he could only watch how things would slowly unfold.

The director called him over mainly because he had placed first in the entrance exam of his department. Besides that, his performance in school was outstanding and because they wanted to nurture his talents more, they gave him this opportunity. 

He Feng had kept a very low profile. His family background wasn’t disclosed so other people treated him as an ordinary student. As a proclaimed ‘ordinary student’, to be able to see a prominent figure like Qin Zhao as an opportunity to be cherished.

Apart from He Feng, there were also other outstanding students of other years present.

He Feng was taciturn and reticent on the dinner table while all the others gave toasts to Qin Zhao. Since he was the only one remaining immovable, the director panicked and secretly dropped hints to him. He Feng knew that he had to take care of the school’s face so he stood up to give Qin Zhao a toast with an expressionless face.

Qin Zhao appeared extremely delighted at this as he downed a glass down before excusing himself to the bathroom. He even insisted on pulling He Feng along with him.

He Feng also wasn’t willing to stay at the table any longer so he followed him to the bathroom. Qin Zhao let go of his wrist and the first thing he said was. “I didn’t know you were going to come.”

He Feng lifted his eyes to look at him.

“I also didn’t know this would be arranged.” Qin Zhao earnestly explained.

He Feng believed him because Qin Zhao simply had no reason to lie.

Seeing that he still didn’t want to speak, Qin Zhao paused before continuing. “I went back and thought about it for a long time. He Feng, I decided that I won’t treat you that way anymore. I have never harmed your mother and the necklace isn’t that important to me. You can live a free life without anyone to threaten you.”

He Feng couldn’t help but look at him flabbergasted.

Qin Zhao naturally wouldn’t explain to him that when he went back home that night, he had specially consulted his subordinate and had been enlightened with the principle of ‘the more you force someone, the more you push them away’. If he couldn’t give up on He Feng, then he should take a step back. 

“You can head home first and I’ll explain it to them later.“

He Feng nodded. “Thank you.” With this, he exited the bathroom without turning his head back.

“He Feng” Qin Zhao called out to him. “Actually, I’m not as old as you think, I’m only 37 years old.” Seeing He Feng look back at him, he remembered that He Feng was only 18 years old. It seemed that the age difference was quite big so he added one more sentence. “To Xiantian cultivators, 37 isn’t really that old.”

He Feng immediately turned quiet again. He couldn’t help but feel that Qin Zhao’s words were a joke. Although he could sense that Qin Zhao’s attitude was changing, what did that matter to him?

“Goodbye, Mr. Qin.” He Feng left this sentence without a trace of reluctance. Then, he turned around and left. 

Qin Zhou watched his slender and petite figure leave, his lips hooking up into a smile. Goodbye. 

When the feast ended, Qin Zhao was planning to head over to a branch in Jing City to carry out an investigation when his assistant notified him while driving. “Director Qin, Mister Wen Ren just called, he said he wanted to see you.”


T/N: A 19 year age gap.. wow.. idk it seems a little bit old for me. but I guess time should flow differently for cultivators.

    Ahahaha, He Zhou playing a joke on Wen Renyi is too funny.
    Fuck off Qin Zhou, rape is rape. He was so horrible to him, if the author still continues their relationship without some major repentance from that bastard, I’ll curse the author.

    1. Just4reading

      19 year age gap is still better than a 100+ yo vamp and a 18 yo girl..While WRY is thinking of ways to make HZ feel less pain, HZ says that he doesn’t want to hurt WRY. Now they are at a stalemate, whoz gonna top who?WRY might really be to beat up QZ out of blueballed frustration.

  2. Kleep

    I’m…glad he’s changed a bit?

    Thanks for the great translation ♥️

  3. HaiRyuuKi

    So QZ, despite his age, is actually immature in love? He didn’t know the right way to pursue someone? Man. That’s just… smh

    1. Nora ☁

      I mean, HZ doesn’t even know what fucking is, so QZ isn’t the only one lol

    2. Katie Thairu

      Well, he’s a demonic cultivator so him being a twisted freak isn’t really a big surprise.

  4. Nora ☁

    Damn I guess cultivators don’t go to jail lol

  5. beebboop

    he zhou has no mercy!

    also ick? so qz has been raping someone who is barely legal, possibly actually before he was legal. age might just be a number but then jail is just a room

  6. Katie Thairu

    Thanks for the chapter! 😊😍

  7. Izira Williams

    if i saw qin zhou in a fire, i’d crawl out of my wheelchair, go in my house, and get some salt to dump on his aaa (’益’) i’d kill that sonova bbbbb

    One of my close friends is having a relationship with a married man and the age gap is similar as He Feng and Qin Zhou and let me tell yall, age is really a number for adults. There are adults who are mentally mature and there are adults who are mentally barely teenagers. Indecisive, immature, really pitiful. I can see Qin Zhou growing up not knowing anythng about how to love someone, but still!!! If you see someone unwilling, how can you get pleasure from that? That’s just messed up!

  9. Octa Mega

    19 years age gap? Not that far for me. I have seen a cradle robber more shameless than him. *glance at Kaname Kuran who’s real age is 10000+ older than his lover*

    Poor He Feng must have been so trumatized. He even became indifferent to things 😥 Qin Zhao, you’ve ruined someone’s live, at the age where he should be laughing carefreely with friends.
