Xiao Mansion.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Early the next morning, while eating breakfast, Jingtong received a call. Because of what the other party said, her expression changed and the spoon in her hand fell into the porridge bowl in front of her with a “clink”, splashing the porridge out.
“Don’t worry, I’ll come right away.” Jingtong quickly pushed aside the chair and got up, but accidentally kicked her foot, which made her gritted her teeth in pain.
Jianmin looked at Jingtong in a panic: “What are you doing? What happened?”
“You come with me.” Jingtong pulled up Jianmin.
“I haven’t finished my meal yet.” Jianmin took a bite of the bun in his hand.
“What else do you care about besides eating, hurry up.” Jingtong grabbed the half of the bun in his hand and glanced in Zhan’s direction without a trace.
Jianmin got up and picked up the stolen bun and put it in his mouth, leaving with Jingtong reluctantly.
After they left, Tingyu finally spoke. “What can make them panic like that?”
“Grandma, there are some things we can’t control. We just need to be happy every day.” Zhan just took a look at Jingtong.
It seemed that something happened to Lingjiao, otherwise Mom would not panic like that.
“Well, you must remember to bring Fei back to me today.” Tingyu reminded him.
“Okay. I’ll go to Jiyang’s place after work.” Zhan remembered. He also wanted Fei to be by his side as soon as possible.
“Why don’t you ask for a leave today, go now, I want to see Fei immediately.” Tingyu was worried.
“Grandma, it won’t be appropriate to ask for a leave after I just went to work for a day, right?” Zhan said, “It’s just a few hours anyway. Just bear with it a little bit.”
Tingyu could only sigh lightly and replied cutely. “Okay, then.”
Zhan kissed his grandma’s face and went to work.
As soon as Zhan walked out, he saw a black Bentley car parked there seemed familiar.
Zhan took a deep breath to calm down. Maybe the car parked here was someone else’s, not for him, he looked forward and walked ahead.
“Mr. Xiao, please wait for a while.”Suddenly a familiar voice appeared behind him.
Zhan froze, turned around slowly and a smile appeared around the corners of his mouth, “Hey, Fanxing. How coincident. Why are you here?”
“It’s not a coincidence. I’m waiting for you.” He replied frankly.
“Waiting for me? What’s up?”
Zhan’s eyes moved slightly. He quickly glanced at the inner side of the car, trying to make sure whether Yibo was inside by seeing through the dark glass window.
Fanxing’s understood what Zhan was worried about. He said, “Mr. Wang isn’t here.”
It couldn’t be better. Zhan got relieved.
But Yibo couldn’t disengage himself. A CEO’s special assistant was unlikely to wait for a small potato like me.
Yesterday I hung up the call from Yibo at the excuse of bad signal. I was sure that he would trouble me.
Yibo sought revenge for the smallest grievance. He arranged his assistant to block me in such an early morning. Did he mean to make me work in a bad mood for the whole day?
“Fanxing, tell me what Mr. Wang wants you to do here.” Zhan faced the reality, trying to figure out how Yibo would “torture” him.
“Mr. Wang arranges me to pick you to work.” While talking, Fanxing respectfully opened the back door, “Mr. Xiao, please get on the car.”
“…”
Zhan’s eyes flashed and his smile froze.
I showed disrespect to Yibo, but he returned me the highest courteous reception. Fanxing was arranged to pick me up. How flattered I felt!
“Mr. Xiao, you didn’t mishear. Please get into the car.” Fanxing seemed to see through him.
“Fanxing, it’s unnecessary. You can get back to your own business. I can go to work myself.” Being a driver really wasted Fanxing talent.
Zhan turned around to leave, but Fanxing stopped him, “Mr. Xiao, please don’t put me in a pickle. I’m worried about Mr. Wang’s blame. He said if I couldn’t deal with such a petty thing. Africa was my destination.”
Zhan frowned. Was it so exaggerating?
“Mr. Xiao, if I am sent to Africa, my wife might get divorced with me…” Fanxing said pitifully. “You are such a beautiful and kind person. I’m sure you won’t be so hardhearted.”
“…”
The words made Zhan feel if he didn’t cooperate with him, he would be a sinner.
Zhan had no choice but get on the car. Fanxing closed the door and became as happy as a fool when turning around.
He sat on the driving seat and drove away happily. He sent Zhan to the Liu Group.
***
Liu Group
Fanxing got off the car and respectfully opened the door for Zhan again.
Zhan got off. He smiled and nodded, “Thank you, Fanxing.”
“Mr. Xiao, I’ll pick you up here at 5.” Fanxing smiled at him.
“Not necessarily. I’ve something else to do after work.” Zhan would pick up Fei from Jiyang, or Grandma would get angry.
“No worries. I’ll do it for you.” After a pause, Fanxing continued, “Mr. Wang invites you for dinner tonight.”
“I really have something to do.” Zhan felt vexed as soon as he heard Yibo name.
“He is sincere. Mr. Xiao, please show your mercy on me. Even if you wanna refuse the invitation, please tell him in person, or I…” Fanxing shrugged his shoulders, making a pitiful face.
“…” Zhan was defeated.
“Mr. Xiao, see you at 5.”
Zhan entered the company. As soon as he went into the lift, he saw Lixian who looked like an urban elite and sent out the charm.
“Morning, Mr. Li.”
“Morning, Mr. Xiao.” Lixian pushed the glasses on the nose with a long finger, “Just now I saw you getting off from the car in front of the company. Is it your husband?”
“No. He’s a friend.” Zhan explained, “He sent me here on the way!”
“Don’t worry. Dating is allowed in our company.” Lixian smiled faintly, thinking Zhan was too nervous.
Zhan looked at him, giving a slight smile and trying to relax himself. He only wanted to work hard and live a good life with Grandma and Fei. Also he wanted the people who owed him repaid a debt as well.
Such as Lingjiao who plotted against him over and over. He wouldn’t let Lingjiao go.
***
This morning the call Jingtong received was from Lingjiao.
Lingjiao stayed in an unimpressive hotel. When Jingtong arrived, she jumped into Jingtong’s arms, crying.
“Mum, mum…. what can I do? What can I do?” She held Jingtong tightly.
Jingtong was painful, but she kept patting on her back and comforted Lingjiao, “Don’t cry. Tell me what’s happened?”
Lingjiao gradually stopped crying and retreated from Jingtong’s arms, “Mum, I, I was raped by Hepeng, purr…”
“Rape” was like a sharp knife cutting into Lingjiao’s throat, making her so painful that she cried again.
“What?” Jingtong’s eyes widened in shock. She couldn’t believe it for a long while. “Why did it happen? Haven’t we planned? We replaced Yubin with Hepeng and then fed Zhan the drug to make them have sex. After that, we took the picture of it as proof to make Hepeng marry him. As long as he got married, he wouldn’t stay in our house. We would live a life as before. We wouldn’t need to see him anymore.”
This was Jingtong’s solution to make Zhan disappear from the Xiao family.
“Mum, it’s Zhan’s fault. He is so wicked. I’m very anxious to scoop out his heart and drink his blood! Or I can’t swallow!” She wore tears in her eyes, looking resentful.
“Who else knows it?” Jingtong asked her calmly?
“No one else except Hepeng and me.”
“What about Zhan?”
“Hepeng didn’t arrive until he left. And the bitch asked a pimp to rape me….” Although it failed, she was still raped by Hepeng.
“So you stayed here the whole night?” Jingtong looked around the hotel and found it really bad.
“I didn’t dare to go home. I called Darren and told him I was staying with you at home.” She rolled the sleeves and patches of bruises were found on her arms, “Mum, I can’t see him for a week. If he finds it, I’m done…”
Seeing the shocking bruises on Lingjiao’s arms, Jingtong just felt extremely angry. She nearly bit her teeth.
Hepeng was such a pervert. He left so many marks.
“Mum, go to Shanghai with me, ok? I told Darren that you would travel there with me. Then I could avoid seeing him. The bruises will disappear in one week.” She pulled Jingtong’s hands.
“We can do nothing else.” Jingtong sighed.
“But I won’t let Zhan and Hepeng off!” Lingjiao bit her lip and the anger made her upset.
“Let’s leave here. We have to give the matter further thought. We should be cautious next time!” Jingtong came to realize that Zhan was no easy to be played.
They had looked down upon Zhan!
“Mum, please help me. Don’t abandon me.”
“Of course.”
“Thank you, mum, I love you.”
Jingtong nodded and helped Lingjiao dress up herself and they left.
She booked the flight ticket on the Internet, preparing to leave, to escape the crisis.
But the name of Zhan became a needle stabbing deeper in Lingjiao’s heart that she couldn’t even have a sound sleep.
***
On the contrary, Zhan gradually got used to the work life in the company and he got along well with the colleagues.
Zhan worked happily the whole day. He didn’t remember the nightmare until he saw Fanxing’s car in front of the company.
Zhan stood there, looked at smiling Fanxing and felt it disturbing.
“Mr. Xiao’s pursuer is so considerate.” Lixian appeared behind him.
“Mr. Li…” Zhan looked aside at Lixian, “We’re only friends.”
“Have a good day. See you tomorrow.” He seemed to ignore Zhan words and strode away.
Zhan felt he couldn’t explain the situation clearly even if he had 100 mouths.
Fanxing opened the door and made a gesture of invitation, “Mr. Xiao, Mr. Wang has made a reservation in the restaurant.”
Just then Zhan phone rang. It was CEO Dong’s call. He asked Zhan to treat Yibo well as he was the biggest customer of their company.
Since the boss had said so, what could I say?
“Please drive me there.”
Zhan sat in the car reluctantly and Fanxing focused on driving.
The car drove stably for a while.
Zhan looked at the views outside the window and said absently, “Fanxing, the colleagues in my company think you’re pursuing me…”
“Ahem- -“
Fanxing jammed on the brakes suddenly. The faction between the wheels and the ground made a harsh noise.
“Mr. Xiao, don’t make such kind of jokes.” Fanxing faked a smile.
If Mr. Wang knew it, I was likely to be killed.
Mr. Xiao was the man Mr. Wang liked. Even if I had enough courage, I didn’t dare to pursue him unless I wanted to commit suicide.
Fanxing felt he was sweating on the back.
“I didn’t say so, but my colleagues. It’s impossible to shut their mouths. Do you know what to do?” Zhan smiled innocently but the implication was that Fanxing better get away and not be around him.
“Thank you. I remember it.” Fanxing restarted the car.
Finally, Fanxing drove Zhan to somewhere tranquil. He took a paper bag from the trunk and gave it to Zhan.
At the first sight, Zhan recognized it was a famous brand, “What do you mean?”
Fanxing looked Zhan who wore professionally up and down, “Don’t you need to change the clothes?”
Zhan looked at himself, “I’m fine. Is there anything wrong?”
“You’d better dress formally so you’ll be prettier.” Fanxing suggested, “Mr. Xiao, please seize the time. Mr. Wang doesn’t like people being late.”
Zhan thought it was really troublesome to change clothes for a meal.
But Zhan took the bag and put on the clothes on the car. When he got off the car, he amazed Fanxing..
What came into Zhan’s sight.
This was the Oriental Pearl Garden Restaurant where the purchase was high-end and membership system was carried out. But nobody was there.
The air was full of the scent of flowers, fresh and natural.
Zhan pushed open the door, but nobody was in the private room.
It was really considerate of Yibo to arrange the meal in such an environment.
When Zhan fingers touched the table, a low but happy voice appeared, “Do you like here?”
Hearing Yibo’s voice, Zhan turned around and then a bunch of beautiful flowers came into Zhan sight.
The White suit with the bunch of flowers in his hand made him look like a childe of the city.
“For you.” Yibo handed the flowers to Zhan.
Zhan glanced from the flowers to Yibo, but Zhan didn’t stretch out the hands.
Yibo shoved the flowers to Zhan’s arms, “Take it.”
He was as bossy as usual!
Zhan gently put the flowers on the table, “Mr. Wang, I come here to tell you I have something else important. I’ll make an apology next time.”
“Mr. Xiao, it won’t take you long to finish a meal.” Yibo elegantly unbuttoned the buckles and took a seat. “And I have an important piece of news to announce today.”
Zhan looked suspiciously at Yibo’s good-looking face, “What on earth is it?”
Zhan thought Yibo was deliberately mystified to detain him.
“I’ll tell you after the meal.” Yibo made a gesture of initiation.
“I’ll make a decision after you tell me.” Zhan learnt negotiation.
“I’m afraid if I announce it now, you won’t leave.” Yibo smiled sneeringly.
“Can you please stop blowing your own horn?” Zhan voice sounded a bit angry.
“Mr. Xiao, hold on.” Yibo reached his pocket, took out an envelope and put it on the table.
Yibo’s deep eyes were tinged with dark light, showing a hint of playfulness. He stared at Zhan for a moment, and his serene eyes reflected Zhan fair and delicate face.
Zhan became a little feverish from his gaze, so he quietly looked away.
“You don’t want to take it and have a look?” Yibo raised his eyebrows a little.
How could Zhan be so calm and not curious at all about what Yibo was holding?
“Mr. Wang, even though money has many benefits and I also like money, not everything can be settled with money. Especially something like posing as Mrs. Wang. What is fake will always be fake. It will never become real.” Zhan looked at the thin envelope. “Mr. Wang is very rich, yet he is only giving me this much. Isn’t it a little too stingy of him?”
Was I this cheap? Or did he think I could be easily bribed?
“What is fake can also become real, but what is real can never become fake.” Yibo’s voice was deep but hinted at something. “As long as I want to, what is fake can become real and what is real can become fake.”
As Zhan listened to Yibo words and met his intense gaze, Zhan felt as if there was an invisible magnetic force pulling him in that he couldn’t help but indulge in it, which made him flustered.
“Mr. Wang, what do you mean?” Zhan even breathed quietly.
“Just take it literally.” Yibo said indifferently as his gaze fell on the envelope. “You’ll know once you open it and take a look.”
Zhan’s sight also fell on the envelope.
The stuff in the envelope wasn’t thick. Considering what he said, it was probably money.
Zhan actually guessed wrong. For someone with status like Yibo, he didn’t need to use cash at all. He could use a cheque or a card, both of which would make things easier.
I didn’t dare to think too much about the things in the envelope. My sixth sense told me that it wouldn’t be anything good!
Zhan quickly retracted his gaze, then turned and took a couple of steps away to escape from this place.
But Yibo stood up sharply and stepped forward in one stride to stop him.
“Where do you want to go?” Yibo looked at him and asked.
“Go home.” Zhan didn’t look up. His downcast eyelashes were long and thick, and trembled out of fear..
“Before you go home, you should take a look at the surprise I prepared for you.” Yibo grasped Zhan hand and pulled him toward the round table again.
Zhan was dragged by him to the round table and heard a commanding voice. “Open it.”
Zhan struggled to withdraw his hand, but he couldn’t resist Yibo’s strength. Not only did Zhan not withdraw his hand, but his other hand was also held in Yibo.
Yibo embraced Zhan entire body and pushed his broad and warm chest against Zhan cold back.
Yibo body was very warm and comfortable, but Zhan still felt cold.
Zhan stubbornly resisted him as Yibo brought Zhan hands toward the envelope on the table. Zhan did not dare to touch it.
“Zhan, what are you afraid of?” Yibo’s thin lips pressed against Zhan’s ear. Although his tone was soft, it made people unable to resist him.
“I’m not afraid of anything. I just don’t want to know what’s inside. I have no interest at all.” Zhan spoke sonorously, partly to convince himself not to be curious.
“Are you not interested at all?” Yibo watched as Zhan forced himself to regain composure and curled his thin lips. “Since you don’t want to look, it might be better to show it to those who want to see.”
“Who are you going to give it to?” Zhan asked him anxiously, revealing his fear.
“The news, the media or your parents, grandma…” Yibo pointed out one by one, as if he planned on letting the whole world know.
“Mr. Wang, don’t make jokes like this.” Zhan curled up his lips out of embarrassment.
Why did I provoke him? I almost killed myself.
I’m not afraid of anything at all now, except for Yibo.
“I deliberately went from Beijing to Chongqing to find an exotic and beautiful place like this. Do I look like I’m joking?” Yibo’s patience gradually disappeared as a result of Zhan’s rejection.
“You don’t want to dine with both of our parents, right? You wanted a legitimate reason, right? Now I am here, and the reason I give you is in this envelope. Why are you afraid at this time? Maybe you will be happy once you take a look?”
Zhan would not be so easily coaxed. “Mr. Wang, I am joking, okay? There was no such thing as a legitimate reason – it was just an excuse to reject you. I’ve never wanted anything the proper way.”
Yibo held him tighter so that Zhan could deeply feel his strong sense of existence. “Since you are worried that you are a fake, then I’ll turn you into the real one. Don’t you think SO?”
Become the real one?
Was he crazy?
Zhan tilted his head slightly, his eyes widening in horror. He couldn’t believe that he didn’t care at all.
“Mr. Wang, what do you want?”
“I’ve said so much, do you still not understand?” Yibo saw him freak out and continued to speak. “The questions that you are thinking of will be answered as soon as you open this envelope and you’ll understand everything. These are things you will face sooner or later. If you don’t face them now, you’ll face them soon.”
Yibo referred to the time when their marriage contract would expire. When they divorce, they would have to meet and face each other.
Of course, Zhan hadn’t thought of this. Regardless of how much Yibo hinted, he didn’t dare to think about it.
“I really don’t understand and don’t want to understand. Mr. Wang, please let me go.” Zhan felt his breathing was going to stop because of the way Yibo held him.

“There’s nothing wrong with me holding my wife. It won’t make a difference even if you called the police.” Yibo started acting shamelessly, gently rubbing Zhan skin over his clothes.
“Just a fake.” Zhan reminded him.
“I said that as long as I want to, what is fake can become real.” Yibo turned Zhan’s body around to face himself. “Have more confidence in yourself.”
Something like this could not be changed with confidence.
He said it too lightly.
After seeing Yibo parents while posing as Mrs. Wang, Zhan heart could never calm down.
His father and stepmother were such good people, yet Zhan deceived them. He had a guilty conscience.
“I-” Zhan just uttered a word, yet Yibo lowered his eyes quickly and pressed his thin lips against him, covering Zhan soft lips with a force that he couldn’t resist.
Zhan did not expect Yibo to kiss him and was not prepared for this moment. At the same time, his brain stopped working.
His kiss was strong and domineering, tangling Zhan up with him as their tongues chased after each other.
Zhan was in a weak position in front of him. He could only endure Yibo madness and brutality until feelings of suffocation hit…
Yibo let go of him at this moment, and both of them panted heavily.

Yibo’s fingertips stroked Zhan reddish lips. “Not everyone can enjoy this right. Only Mrs. Wang is qualified, so what are you waiting for?”
Zhan looked up. His pale face was coloured with shades of crimson, his eyes gleamed, and his lips were red and swollen by his kiss, enchanting like pink cherry blossoms.
Zhan’s gaze fell on his’s face.
Yibo handsome face didn’t show much expression: his eyebrows frowned slightly, his nose had a prominent bridge, and his thin lips pressed together lightly.
The air was very quiet with a faint fragrance of flowers. It was so quiet that they only hear each other’s powerful and fierce heartbeat.
“Be brave.” Yibo thin lips moved slightly, encouraging him.
After Zhan was kissed by him, his mind really became confused.
All Zhan resistance was melted by his kiss. Zhan seemed to have the courage to face the things in the envelope.
In other words, if he continued to not face it, then Yibo would force him to face it and open it. Otherwise, he won’t let him off easily.
Zhan reached out to the envelope on the table and paused for a moment. Finally, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the envelope. It didn’t feel too soft or too hard in his hand and felt like a notebook.
Zhan heart tightened again. He could only take a deep breath.
“It’s not a scourge. It won’t eat you. It’s nothing scary.”
Seeing his appear as if Zhan was ready to sacrifice his life at any moment, Yibo really wanted to laugh but he managed to hold back.
Zhan glared sideways at him. You are relaxed because you’re not the one facing the problem.
Yibo raised his eyebrows.
Zhan opened the envelope, reached in, and took out the contents.
Zhan moved slowly, pulling out the notebook-like thing bit by bit, revealing a red shape. He slowly dragged it out until red covered his entire pupil and he saw the gilded national emblem and “marriage certificate” on the cover of the red book.
His hand shook, and both the book and the envelope fell on the ground and hit his feet.
Zhan took a step back in fear and stared at Yibo with questions in his eyes.
Yibo bent down to pick up the marriage certificate and opened it in front of him.
Zhan clearly saw that the certificate holder column read Yibo and his information.
Xiao Zhan…
No, no, it must be the same name and surname. His wife couldn’t be me. How could it be me?
Zhan didn’t dare to imagine that the person who had entered into a marriage contract with himself was Yibo, the man standing at the top of the pyramid.
“Don’t doubt it. It’s really you. The fake is also you. You are my wife.” Yibo’s words further sealed their relationship as husband and wife.
All of Zhan’s suspicions disappeared as a result of his words.
“So you knew my relationship with you all along?” Zhan frowned.
“When you first came to Wang Group and I met you, I wasn’t sure.” Yibo explained. “It wasn’t until I found the marriage certificate that I had left behind that I was sure you are my wife.”
So he always knew yet he pretended not to know just to trick me and play with me?
Did he want to see me make a fool of myself that badly?
Zhan spontaneously felt humiliated, and anger suddenly flared in his head!
Zhan clamped his hand into a fist then let go, again and again. He breathed deeply in secret non-stop, otherwise he would surely slap him in face!
“You always knew. Why didn’t you tell me?” Zhan suppressed the anger in his heart, trying to calm down his tone.
“I have always hinted at you.” Yibo gazed at him calmly and looked into Zhan’s eyes.
There was fire in Zhan’s eyes, as if he wanted to burn Yibo to ashes.
“Haha, have you?” How come I didn’t notice?
“This only shows that you…” Yibo pointed at his forehead with a finger, suggesting that Zhan was stupid without saying anymore.
“You are a bastard!” Zhan was full of anger in his heart, and after being so insulted by him again, he could no longer maintain his demeanor.
“…”
Yibo, How was I’m bastard?
“You just want to see me getting made fun of. You think it’s fun to play tricks like this, right?” Zhan blamed him aggrievedly, his eyes turning red from the tears that surfaced. “Or are you trying to test me? Afraid that I will cheat on you?”
“But knowing our contractual relationship, you can’t do… to me…” Zhan bit his lip, not knowing how to continue.
“Do what to you?”
“Touching me and wanting to take advantage of me at any time without any room for discussion. Do you know how much pressure I am under? I have always been afraid that the husband I’ve never met will create trouble for me, but I didn’t expect him to be you bastard!”
Zhan felt extremely aggrieved. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he couldn’t help but be sad, so much that he couldn’t hold back his tears.
His eyes were red, and his pitiful appearance made Yibo feel that perhaps he crossed the line.
Yibo stretched out his long arms and took Zhan into his arms, letting Zhan’s head rest on his shoulders while his face pressed against his chest. He was not afraid that Zhan’s tears would stain his white shirt and expensive handmade custom suit.
“Actually, the moment I met you, I didn’t think I would interact with you again in the future. It’s just that what happened later was beyond our control, and you were wronged. But Mr. Wang is only exercising his legal rights. I said this before, it’s just that you are too stupid… so you can’t blame me entirely.” While he explained, Yibo still had to maintain his own arrogance. Very typical of Yibo.
Zhan didn’t stop crying but shrugged his shoulders even harder.
“Okay, don’t cry. If you keep crying, your beautiful face will be ruined and you won’t be pretty.” Yibo coaxed Zhan softly.
“I want to cry. I don’t even have the right to cry anymore?”
Zhan got into a temper.
Yibo smiled helplessly. “Okay, okay, okay. Mrs. Wang can cry whatever he wants.”
Wife’s are really troublesome!
