Sex and love, anger and pride [mxm] [✔]

Chapter 8

Shen Wei couldn't believe his ears. It was only early afternoon and the boss was telling him that he could have the rest of the day off if he wanted.

"I want some time with my daughter, she's always out and we haven't spent much time together. Just prepare something to drink and eat then go away, I won't take the hours off your pay."

It wasn't just a free afternoon, it was a paid free afternoon, and it made Shen Wei feel over the moon.
He thanked him and quickly prepared everything. He put a few bottles on the small living room table, with two glasses in the front, then he made a lot of delicious sandwiches, then added some tarts and cookies that he had bought the day before and put everything on the table where the drinks were.

He always did the shopping for Mr Zhu, so he knew what he liked. He considered for a moment if he ought to make a cake, maybe miss Zhu would like that, even if doing it would take some time.

He saw Mr Zhu enter the room and was about to ask him, when the old man saw the table and said, "That's enough, now go before my daughter changes her mind and decides she wants to take the car!"

Shen Wei thanked him again and got out. He took a bus home thinking of what he could do with the time.

He had the phone in his hands before he could even realise what he was doing. The need to share the good news with Yunlan surprised him, and he looked at the text he had just written,
>I have the rest of the day free! Still don't know what to do but I'll think of something. How's your day going?

He hesitated a moment, then he told himself that there was nothing wrong if they texted each other like that, and he pressed send. He smiled, the bus stopped and he went home.

Yunlan read the text and jumped on his seat. He wished he could rush out that minute but today he had an important meeting, so he quickly wrote a reply.
>I have a meeting in five minutes. Tell me when you decide what to do. Want to know you won't do anything crazy while I'm not there to witness it.

He quickly got all he needed and bolted out the door, intending to close that business deal as soon as possible and be free.

As he entered the meeting room he was glad to see that everyone else was coming as well. He took a seat and greeted them all. His phone beeped and he excused himself, it was another text from Wei:
>I've only decided on making myself a cup of tea. I thought I'd add extra sugar to celebrate, but maybe it's better if I don't. Is that too crazy?

He was at work so he kept his laughter inside. He couldn't hide his smile though, and when he raised his eyes and saw that everyone was looking at him, he showed them the phone in his hand saying "I just received another offer..."

Things went as he wanted, he closed a good deal and the meeting ended in record time.

As he was back in his office, he texted Wei:
>Thanks to you it all went splendidly!

The reply was quick.
>What did I do?

>I pretended your last text was an offer from the competition, and they hurried to close the deal!

>Glad I helped!

>So, did you behave as promised?

>Of course, I only added a teaspoon of sugar and no more
Wei wrote and then he smiled. This texting each other was fun after all.

Yunlan considered asking if he could join him at his house, but he had understood how private Wei was and didn't want to overdo it and ruin the day. He had a chance here, if he played his cards well he could have three hours more than usual to spend with Shen Wei.
