Rivals of Rebirth

Chapter 35

Intimacy

Translated by Seafall (Cf411)

Han Jin almost frantically hugged Zheng Jue’s neck, pushing him hard against himself, and kissed Zheng Jue’s lips with some urgency, kissing with his tongue fiercely. He even tried to pry open Zheng Jue’s teeth, but he was pushed away by Zheng Jue before he could do it.

“What are you doing in such a hurry?” Zheng Jue pulled his tie with a smile, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Han Jin who was a little dissatisfied.

Han Jin gasped lightly, then raised his head slightly to look at Zheng Jue. Zheng Jue’s lips that had been just kissed by him still had a hint of glistening saliva. Han Jin felt a little restless in his heart, but after listening to Zheng Jue’s words, he reluctantly said, “Didn’t you say that we can give it a try? I understand that a try is like this,” As he spoke, he walked forward with ambiguous intentions.

Zheng Jue’s eyes changed slightly and then he curled up his lips, “In this place?”

Han Jin’s face froze. While this made him a little discouraged, he leaned forward and kissed Zheng Jue again, then whispered viciously, “I will deal with you sooner or later.”

Zheng Jue smiled helplessly: “Although I said we could give it a try, I haven’t experienced such feelings before, so I can’t accept this kind of intensity for the time being.”

Han Jin gritted his teeth angrily then grabbed Zheng Jue’s arm fiercely, and fiercely said, “Are you playing with me?”

When Zheng Jue saw that he was about to go mad, he hurriedly reassured him, “You have to let me get used to it first, all right? I’ve never had such an emotional experience before.”

After Han Jin heard this, the expression on his face softened, and if it was looked at closely, there was a hint of pride in its eyebrows, “Even if you did, nobody had gotten you yet.”

Zheng Jue looked at Han Jin helplessly and cautiously didn’t say much.

Perhaps, it was Zheng Jue’s delusion, but after he gave his answer to Han Jin, the atmosphere between the two of them changed. Han Jin was obviously not as restrained as before, and he became more and more shameless as he spoke.

“Aaron, you said that you’ve been deceiving yourself before, so have you been already moved by me a long time ago? Ai… you said it would be better if you didn’t be so stubborn and figured it out earlier, we don’t need to be so troubled about it,” Han Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Jue, filled with pride.

Zheng Jue couldn’t hold back the twitching in the corner of his mouth. He thought in his heart that he shouldn’t open his mouth right now. Being reminded of his own plan, he suppressed the words that came to his lips and smiled helplessly, without saying much.

Seeing Zheng Jue not speaking, Han Jin became more and more joyful. He had never worked so hard on anyone in his life. It was only Zheng Jue who could make him do these things that he felt stupid after thinking about it.

Han Jin lowered his head and drank a cup of tea before he raised his head and looked at Zheng Jue again. His eyes were so focused that even someone as determined as Zheng Jue couldn’t help it and said, “What are you looking at me for?”

Han Jin tilted his head as he continued to look at him before suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, “I like looking at you, and I want to kiss you.”

After speaking, without waiting for Zheng Jue to respond, he leaned over and kissed Zheng Jue’s lips. This time, even though Zheng Jue’s breathing turned messy for a moment and he frowned a little, he did not push him away.

Han Jin suddenly felt a little bit of joy in his heart. He wrapped his hands tightly around Zheng Jue’s waist, and then his lips gently rubbed Zheng Jue’s lips before the tip of his tongue faintly protruded out and traced the shape of Zheng Jue’s lips.

Zheng Jue’s body slightly froze. His mind was full of thoughts. In the end, he finally decided to slowly raise his arms and hug Han Jin fiercely.

He was no more careful than Han Jin. He almost kissed Han Jin fiercely, and when the tip of his tongue just touched Han Jin’s outer lip. The man obediently opened his mouth and let Zheng Jue drive straight in.

For some unknown reason, Zheng Jue suddenly felt a sense of hostility in his heart. Perhaps, it was because of his unwillingness in his previous life, or perhaps, it was because of Han Jin’s pressing him step by step in this life. His feelings for the person in front of him suddenly became very complicated and led to the emergence of such a scene.

Zheng Jue was a little angry in his heart, but he didn’t know who he was angry with. His lips and tongue swept Han Jin’s mouth as if they were venting their anger, with a slight urgency and ruthlessness. Despite that, Han Jin used his tongue to entangle with him as if to please him, with a hint of lingering kinky feeling.

Zheng Jue is not a hypocritical person. As men were originally sensual animals, he felt so good kissing Han Jin, so good that Zheng Jue’s whole person was almost on fire. Hence, Zheng Jue also let this feeling spread until there was a knock at the door.

Zheng Jue let go of Han Jin’s restraint as if he had just woken up from a big dream. His breathing was a little unsteady. On the other hand, Han Jin’s side looked more serious. His legs turned a little soft that he had to lean against Zheng Jue. There was also shortness of his breath. His originally white cheeks were dyed with a thin layer of redness, and there was also a touch of lust in his eyes that were looking straight at Zheng Jue.

Zheng Jue couldn’t help but smile, then stroked Han Jin’s sweaty hair with his hand, lowered his head, and whispered in his ear, “Okay, someone is coming in. Stop making trouble.”

Han Jin was a little reluctant, but he nodded, then left Zheng Jue’s embrace, and sat back in his seat.

Zheng Jue adjusted his clothes, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with his look, he opened his mouth to let people outside the door come in.

It turned out that it was Dr. Cha from the teahouse who came there to serve tea. Zheng Jue nodded politely, but Han Jin had already returned to his previous indifference. He didn’t even raise the corners of his eyes, making people grit their teeth inwardly.

After that, the two of them got along calmly. Although Han Jin still occasionally made jokes, Zheng Jue was able to take it indifferently, so nothing really happened.

It wasn’t until the two finished drinking tea and were about to leave that Han Jin suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, “By the way, Aaron, my father wants to invite you to his birthday party. Do you want to go?”

“A birthday banquet?” Zheng Jue looked at Han Jin with a puzzled expression. The only possible reason why someone like Han Zizhang could ask him to come over is because of Han Jin.

“Did he find anything?” Zheng Jue’s expression was a little solemn.

Han Jin just smiled when he heard it, “Don’t worry. If he really found something, my father wouldn’t be so calm. If you want to go, just go. He would probably just say a few words since he’s afraid that I’ll be deceived by you.”

Zheng Jue had just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard what Han Jin said, the string in his heart broke again. Han Zizhang was different from Han Jin. Although Han Jin was amazing, he was still young after all and has a good impression of himself, so he will easily be deceived by him. In contrast, Han Zizhang is a real old fox. If he really asked to investigate him, he’s afraid that his little actions could not be hidden from him.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jue only felt heavy-hearted. He glanced at Han Jin who didn’t think too much about it and carefully asked, “Does your father have any dissatisfaction with me?”

Han Jin sneered and waved his hand indifferently, “He has always been like this. Every person who approaches me, he has to check them out. It’s only because you are new to Hong Kong that he is not sure of your character, so he wants to meet you. Don’t worry about it.”

Zheng Jue breathed a sigh of relief and curled up his lips slightly, “Since that’s the case, then I will definitely arrive on time. However, I need to know what your father likes so that I can prepare his birthday gift in advance.”

When Han Jin heard that he was going over, he didn’t know why but he secretly felt a bit delighted in his heart. He secretly glanced at Zheng Jue and found that the corner of his lips was smiling, and it was not the reluctant kind of smile. Thus, his heart became happier and happier. He didn’t even think about Zheng Jue’s question before he replied casually, “He’s mostly arty, so calligraphy books and the likes are fine.”

Zheng Jue’s expression froze after hearing this. It’s easy to say this, but he really doesn’t have anything like calligraphy. It seems that he needs to look for it slowly.

Zheng Jue and Han Jin parted at the door of the teahouse. Han Jin ran to Zhou Chengan to announce the good news, but Zheng Jue went straight back to his company. Han Zizhang’s birthday banquet was both a test and an opportunity. If he handles it properly, then it is undeniable that his position in Hong Kong would also be much more stable.

At this moment, Zheng Jue finally arrived at the company. As soon as he was at the door of the office, he saw Susie guarding the door. Seeing him come back, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Mr. Zheng, there is something wrong with Ms. Lin.”

Zheng Jue’s expression sank, and there was a hint of coldness in the corners of his eyes. He solemnly said, “Don’t worry. Just speak slowly.”

Susie’s tone eased slightly, and then she took a deep breath before she spoke, “Mr. Zheng, let’s monitor Ms. Lin. Someone came back and reported that Ms. Lin met the editor-in-chief of a newspaper owned by Mr. Wen a few days ago.”

“Are you sure it’s a newspaper owned by the Wen’s?” Zheng Jue’s face was ugly.

“It is indeed a newspaper owned by Wen’s. I have known the editor-in-chief before. Although he seems neutral, the force behind him is Wen’s,” Susie’s tone was full of certainty.

Zheng Jue wouldn’t doubt Susie’s sources. He knew that Susie had a lot of gossip sources. He never asked, but as long as Susie could tell him, then it must be true.

“I see. You don’t have to worry about this matter anymore,” Zheng Jue’s expression turned completely cold. While Wen Huaan asked him to make amends to Zhou Chengan, at the same time, he tried to muddy the waters with such a good plan. It’s just that since this matter involves several parties, he doesn’t need to fight alone.

Zheng Jue entered the office and called Zhou Chengan’s personal mobile phone. As soon as the call was connected, he heard Zhou Chengan’s teasing voice, “Mr. Zheng, even if you and Vi have done a good deed, you don’t need to tell me twice. How come you are here again after Vi has just finished speaking?”

Zheng Jue couldn’t help but coughed a few times and seriously said, “Young Master Zhou misunderstood. I am looking for you today for business.”

“Business?” Zhou Chengan seemed to have doubts in his tone, “Isn’t it the matter between you and Vi the most serious business?” After saying that, he humorously smiled.

Zheng Jue rolled his eyes without holding back, “Young Master Zhou, stop joking. Are there any movements on Wen Huaan’s side?”

When Zheng Jue talked about Wen Huaan, Zhou Chengan’s tone became serious, and then he solemnly spoke, “What else can he do other than to win you over?” After speaking, he paused slightly, “Could it be that Lin Su has made a move?”

“Young Master Zhou really is clever. Indeed, Lin Su just met the editor-in-chief of a newspaper under the Wen family. I’m afraid Wen Huaan will make a big move this time,” Zheng Jue said in a deep tone.
