The Main Plot Begins

After the race ended, Qi Si wanted to find Augus, but the other man did not reply to his messages, and Qi Si did not dare disturb him rashly.

What if he was holding a celebration banquet with his employer? It might not be appropriate for Qi Si to show up uninvited.

Qi Si considered himself a very considerate pursuer who would not cause the other person unnecessary trouble.

At least not before he had won him over.

[Reckless: The race was amazing! You were incredible too!]

[Reckless: May I treat you to dinner? It's fine if you don't have time. We can make plans another day.]

At this moment, Qi Si had completely forgotten that he had promised Qi Wang he would go home for dinner that night.

Qi Si waited at the club for another half hour or so and watched an exhibition match.

There was still no reply from Augus on his phone.

Qi Si was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up.

Thinking that the other man was probably busy and had not had time to check his phone, he stopped stubbornly waiting for a response.

Just then, Qi Wang called to ask whether he had gone home.

"I'm heading back now. Are you off work, bro?" Qi Si answered the call as he walked outside.

Before leaving, he glanced at Xiao Chou and asked, "What about you?"

Xiao Chou immediately replied, "Young Master Qi, if you're in a hurry, go on home. I still want to play a little longer!"

"Alright. Call me if anything comes up."

Xiao Chou watched Qi Si's retreating figure gradually disappear. The smile on his face faded, and his brows furrowed tightly.

What was going on?

After not seeing him for some time, Xiao Chou realized that he suddenly could not understand Qi Si anymore.

The Qi Si from before had felt no different from all those people who looked down on him, but today's Qi Si made Xiao Chou feel as though he truly regarded him as a friend within his social circle.

Xiao Chou lowered his gaze. His first reaction was not happiness, but a sinking feeling in his chest.

His instinctive thought was, Had Qi Si come up with some new trick to make a fool of him for fun?

"Are you off work now, bro? How about I pick you up, and we can go to the supermarket together?"

"You want to pick me up? I'm still at the company. I'll be done in a little while." Qi Wang had already reached the elevator when he heard his younger brother's words and stopped in his tracks.

"Sure, then I'll head over now."

"Mm. Be careful on the road. I won't be done that quickly, so there's no rush."

"Okay."

Qi Si had his head slightly lowered while talking to Qi Wang and did not notice what was ahead of him.

Only after hanging up and looking up did he see two figures in the distance.

Qi Si froze. Once he recognized who they were, he instinctively ducked to the side.

Qi Si knew both people in the distance. One of them was Bo Fuyu, the male lead of this book.

Qi Si did not recognize the woman standing opposite Bo Fuyu at first. It was not until she turned her face that he recognized her.

Wasn't that Lin Weiwei?

Qi Si had not met Lin Weiwei in person since waking up, but the original owner's memories contained her appearance.

Qi Si had also looked up photos of Lin Weiwei online, so he recognized her at a glance now.

"Lin Weiwei got together with Bo Fuyu this quickly?"

Qi Si carefully recalled the plot he knew, then discovered with some surprise that the original novel did not seem to mention today's racing event at all.

Nor had Bo Yanqi offered ten percent of Wangjiang's development rights as the prize for the race.

So the plot had now completely diverged from the original novel?

Qi Si's heart leaped with joy. If that was the case, then his and Qi Wang's ending would not be the same as in the original story either!

As long as he avoided the protagonist group and did not court death by deliberately provoking them, he would not drag Qi Wang into going against the Bo family for his sake!

Although this meant he would be completely unaware of how the plot would develop afterward, the main storyline probably would not change.

For example, Bo Fuyu and Lin Weiwei would meet and become entangled with each other.

Although the timing made Qi Si feel rather confused, it was not a major issue. In any case, they had met, and from the looks of it, they were about to get together.

Just as Qi Si was thinking this, Lin Weiwei leaned against Bo Fuyu.

Qi Si nearly cried out in shock and hurriedly covered his mouth.

He had almost been discovered!

Qi Si steadied his racing heart and secretly poked his head out from behind the rear of a car, cautiously observing what was happening over there.

He saw that the posture of the two people had changed again.

Previously, Lin Weiwei had been leaning against Bo Fuyu's shoulder. They had merely been lightly touching, so it did not seem overly intimate.

In the brief moment Qi Si had been distracted, Bo Fuyu's hand had already settled on Lin Weiwei's waist, guiding her toward the car.

"Holy shit! Things are moving that fast?" Qi Si could not help exclaiming in surprise as he watched the two get into the car.

Only after Bo Fuyu drove away did Qi Si dare show himself.

He watched the rear of Bo Fuyu's car vanish into the parking lot and stroked his chin.

So this was the start of the main storyline's tortured romance route?

Although the plot now seemed to be diverging from the original novel, Qi Si was still somewhat worried that Shen Shuyu would follow the original plotline.

Qi Si felt a little conflicted. He thought Shen Shuyu had been truly miserable in the original novel.

Although she ultimately ended up with Bo Fuyu, she had been tormented until she was covered in wounds. She had also lost her child and would never be able to have another.

The price of this love was far too high, wasn't it?

Did they really have to have this love?

However, Qi Si did not intend to actively involve himself with Shen Shuyu or Bo Fuyu. Sympathy was one thing, but gambling his own life and his brother's life because of sympathy came at far too great a cost.

He checked the time. If he did not go pick up his brother now, Qi Wang would start worrying.

He got into the car and temporarily put what he had just seen out of his mind.

By the time he picked up Qi Wang, he was still late. He had not expected there to be traffic on the way.

When Qi Si arrived at the company, it had already been over half an hour past quitting time.

More than half the employees had already left, but the lights were still on in Qi Wang's office on the top floor.

Qi Si thought Qi Wang had not finished working yet and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bro, I'm here!" Qi Si pushed open the door to Qi Wang's office.

Upon hearing Qi Si's voice, Qi Wang lifted his head from in front of the computer screen.

When he saw Qi Si, he smiled. "You're here? Sit and wait for me a moment. I just need to wrap things up."

"Okay."

Qi Si sat down on the sofa and watched Qi Wang work with a focused expression.

When Qi Wang said a moment, he meant a moment. Qi Si had not even been sitting for two minutes before Qi Wang shut down his computer, stood up, and put on his coat.

"Let's go."

"You're done? That fast?" Qi Si asked in surprise.

"Mm." Qi Wang raised a hand and ruffled Qi Si's hair. "Are you hungry?"

"Not really."

"Then let's go to the supermarket and buy ingredients first."

"Okay."

The two brothers chatted as they left the company.

The moment Qi Wang left the company, Cao Yu let out a heavy sigh of relief.

He immediately pulled out his phone and made a call. "Hello? Senior! President Qi has left! Should I come find you now, or should we meet in the parking lot?"

"Meet in the parking lot," Zhou Zhi said.

Under normal circumstances, they would already have gotten off work by now.

Who would have thought that Qi Wang had already left his office today, only to return after making a phone call and start working overtime?

As a result, they had no choice but to stay behind and work overtime with him!
