Zhan went and looked through the peephole.

Why did he come?

“Zhan, are you here? I’m looking for you.” With no answer from Zhan, the person outside knocked on the door several times.

“I’m here.” Zhan opened the door and standing at the door was Yuchen, “why are you here?”

“I need to talk to you.” Yuchen struggles before mustering sufficient courage to look for him, “May I come in?”

“Come in.” Zhan backed off for Yuchen to enter and he closed the door behind him.

Yuchen walked to the living room. Zhan said, “Please have a seat. What would you like? Water, juice, or coffee?”

“Water will do.” Yuchen sat on the soft sofa.

Zhan poured two glasses of water and placed one in front of Yuchen, “Is there any urgent matters that brought you here at this hour?”

Yuchen was not a brash person. His personality was good and very capable, that’s why everybody was impressed by him.

“Zhan, I just can’t accept this.” Yuchen was embarrassed, “I can’t understand why things can get to the extent that you are willing to give up everything here and leave.”

“I’m from Chongqing and all my relatives are over there. What’s even more important is there are some issues that require me to attend to.” Zhan looked very stern and serious.

“Are you in some form of trouble? I can help you.” Yuchen looked worried.

“No, it’s not any trouble. It’s just that these can’t be done by anyone other than me.” Zhan rejected him, “thanks for your offer.”

“What’s there to thank, I have not done anything.” Yuchen shook his head, “Zhan, don’t be too hard on yourself.”

“I know.” Zhan was touched but couldn’t repay him, “You too, you need to take care of yourself after I leave.”

Yuchen nodded, at that moment the two became sullen and the mood became tense.

Yuchen got up, “I’m sorry to disturb you, have a good rest.”

“I’ll see you out.” Zhan walked Yuchen to the door.

Yuchen went out the door and turned around, and looked deeply at Zhan with his pair of jet-black eyes.

“Zhan, I… I like you.” Yuchen could no longer contain his feelings, he reached out to gently embrace Zhan.

His chin rest on Zhan shoulder, “Zhan, I would like to take care of you and Fei, I know that I’m still not good enough but please give me a chance. I will do my utmost best to give you happiness.”

“I don’t believe that you can’t see my feelings towards you. I believe that you also want someone that you can lean on and a family and I want to give that all to you.”

“Zhan, be my boyfriend…”

That gentle, moving proposal was thick and full of affection drifted into Zhan ears…

Zhan wasn’t a cold-blooded person and naturally will be moved, but he has yet to reach the level of love.

“Mr. Cao, you are very talented but now we are only friends and colleagues. I am also not prepared for a relationship, I’m sorry.” Zhan rejected him cruelly.

“I can wait if you are not ready. I’ll be here waiting until you are ready.” Yuchen was very careful with this relationship.

But Zhan did not want him to lower himself, “Don’t wait for me, I won’t be back. You will find someone you really like. Don’t waste your time on someone unworthy.”

Yuchen’s enthusiasm was doused somewhat by him but he persisted, “Waiting for you is my choice, you are the person that I really like.”

“What if I like someone else?” Zhan saw that he wouldn’t give up and became even crueler.

Yuchen stared at him and couldn’t continue, “if you want me to give up, then say no more.”

Yuchen took a deep breath and composed himself, turned, and was about to leave.

At this moment there was a figure at the staircase. It’s was unable to make out the person due to the lighting of the stairwell but his ominous presence could be sensed.

That person came from the staircase and with each step. his identity was revealed.

Long legs, business suit, elitist… and dashingly handsome.

Yuchen looked at Yibo walking towards him and felt surprised and threatened.

“Why is Mr. Wang here?” Yuchen said first.

“The legs are mine and I can go wherever I want. Mr. Cao can’t control me, can you?” Yibo was direct and blunt.

Zhan didn’t expect Yibo to come and this was his home.

How long has he been here?

Was he standing there all this while?

Did he listen in to our conversation?

There were too many questions and made Zhan fluster.

Yibo stood by the door and looked at Zhan, “I flew for two hours, spent forty minutes on the road to get here… aren’t you inviting me in for a rest?”

“Why are you here?” Zhan didn’t move and just questioned him in return.

“Someone sent me two messages and I’m here. I just wanted to ask if this is real.” Both of Yibo’s hands were in his pockets, he smirked under the light and his laughter looked devilish.

“Messages? What messages?” Zhan looked confused at him and looked terrified.

Yibo took out his phone nonchalantly, and launched Wechat and said, “I miss you, I miss you. Twice.”

“Who sent that?” Zhan asked and his heart was pounding.

“Isn’t this you?” Yibo placed his phone in front of him to look.

“Mr. Wang, please don’t harass Zhan.” Yuchen stood between them protecting Zhan, “Please leave.”

Yibo looked at Yuchen who was blocking his arm and standing between him and Zhan. He didn’t like it that Yuchen considered himself a protector of Zhan.

He frowned and glared in disapproval, “Mr. Cao, what right do you have to ask me to leave? If I didn’t hear wrongly, Zhan rejected your proposal so now you are out of the game.”

“You…” Yuchen was stumped, “yes, Zhan hasn’t accepted me but I will convince him to agree based on my actions.”

“Mr. Cao, your constant harassment is meaningless. Aren’t you forcing him?” Yibo said sarcastically, “and who he misses is me.”

“Who missed you?” Zhan said angrily, the problems arrived one after another. He felt so tired of it.

“I know that you’re embarrassed.” Yibo looked at Zhan and smiled.

Yibo pushed Yuchen’s outstretched hand down, “You must be tired, rest for a while.”

Yuchen was agitated and thought that Yibo wanted to lay his hands on Zhan. He stepped forward and blocked him, “Mr. Wang, it’s late now, I’ll walk you out.”

“I’ve no intention of leaving since I’m here.” Yibo squinted and projected his displeasure.

These words were too provocative to Yuchen. To him, Yibo was a scoundrel.

“Zhan, don’t worry, I’m here, I’ll protect you. I will not let him harm a single hair on you.” He was determined to protect Zhan.

“Move aside!” Yibo warned and threatened him.

“No!” Yuchen was not intimidated by Yibo. Perhaps this was the power of love. It can surpass a person’s perceived strength.Yuchen didn’t display any weakness and did not move. The two of them just stared each other down.

Zhan looked at the two of them ready to fight and became very worried.

Yibo wasn’t a bad person but neither was he good. Things can get bad quickly if he is offended.

Zhan won’t be surprised if he punched Yuchen in the face. No one dared to block him.

“Mr. Cao, you should leave. I will resolve this.” Zhan didn’t want Yuchen to be hurt.

“I will leave when Mr. Wang leaves.” Yuchen continued to stare into Yibo’s eyes.

“Mr. Cao, don’t push your luck.” Yibo said coldly with a threat.

Yuchen laughed coldly, he will push his luck today.

Yibo knew the meaning of his laughter and was poised to strike, they look ready to…

“Oh… handsome uncle?” A cute and tender voice that sounded tired and sleepy.

Zhan stepped aside and a small and tender body ran over and hugged Yibo’s long legs.

Fei tucked aside her hair to reveal her face and looked at Yibo’s face.

“Hehe, I’m not dreaming. Handsome uncle is real.” Fei laughed sweetly when she ascertained that she wasn’t dreaming.

In that instance, Yibo’s serious expression changed immediately to one of gentleness.

That version of Yibo will only appear in front of Fei. To everyone else, he was the chilly high and mighty important director.

“Of course, it’s me. Are you surprised and happy?” Yibo squatted down and hugged Fei.

“I’m so happy! I just dreamed of handsome uncle.” Fei wrapped her hands around his neck.

“See, your dream came true.” Yibo used his finger to tap on her nose.

“Why are you here?” Fei was now elated and she was no longer sleepy.

“I know that you miss me and that’s why I came.” As Yibo said this, he didn’t forget to glance at Zhan.

Zhan’s heart skipped a beat when he looked at him.

“I am thirsty.” Yibo hinted at Fei.

Fei understood immediately and released Yibo, stretch out her little hand and grabbed his large hand, “Then come in for a drink, I’ll personally serve you.”

“Fei, you cannot let him in.” Yuchen broke his ploy. He looked at Yibo in contempt for making use of a kid.

“Why? Handsome uncle is my friend. He came from so far away to see me. As a host, I need to invite him into my house. Furthermore, didn’t you hear that he is thirsty? How can I let him stand at the door? Mom and teacher have said that this is very rude.” Fei was like an adult, “Mom, am I right?”

“…”

Zhan was mentioned, “It’s correct, but…”

But he couldn’t find a reason to refuse Yibo from entering.

“You adults find fault over everything!” Fei was getting upset. “Uncle Cao, this is my house, I want to invite my friend in.”

Fei pulled Yibo to the door. Yuchen was unable to block and was afraid of hurting her little pure heart.

Yuchen felt uneasy and remained at the door.

“Don’t worry, Fei is around,” Zhan assured Yuchen.

“Mr. Cao, aren’t you leaving? I won’t see you out.” Yibo said as he saw Yuchen about to leave. He then told Fei, “Fei, say goodbye to Uncle Cao.”

“Uncle Cao, bye-bye.” Fei waved her hand at Yuchen.

Yuchen took back his step and looked inwards, and said softly to Zhan, “I’ll be downstairs in my car. Call me immediately if you need me.”

“No need, go home to rest.” Zhan didn’t want him to be involved any further.

“Remember, I’m downstairs.” Yuchen repeated before leaving.

Zhan closed the door and walked to the living room and asked Fei, “Why did you wake up?”

“I was in the bathroom and heard your voices,” Fei said.

“Go to bed now, you have school tomorrow.” Zhan walked over and wanted to pull Fei away.

Fei lunged towards Yibo and said, “I want uncle to carry me to bed and read me a story.”

“Okay, whatever you say.” Yibo carried the little Fei and went to her room.

The little princess’s room is pink and has several chimes, seashells, some were metallic and some were glass… The room had a lot of other toys…

Yibo placed her carefully onto the bed and covered her with a blanket. He picked up a book of nursery rhymes and started to read.

His deep and pleasant voice was mesmerizing which sounded like piano music, it slowly charmed Fei into a deep sleep.

He closed the door as he exited the room and Zhan asked, “How did you find your way here?”

Yibo turned and leaned into Zhan.

He lowered his head and glared into Zhan eyes, “Did you miss me or not?”

Yibo raised his tone lightly, which sounded particularly seductive.

His warm breath felt prickly over Zhan’s delicate, fair skin.

Zhan felt uncomfortable with him so near. Yibo was so close that the tip of his nose almost touched hims, and their breaths resonated off each other.

His deep eyebrows were before him, and his deep gaze looked like an endless ocean, and also like the starry night sky, which intoxicated and lured people to give in to him.

“Did you miss me?” Yibo seductive voice rang in his ears again and enticed his heart.

Against Yibo’s aroused state, Zhan had no resistance at all; Zhan puckered his lips and nodded, almost as if he was hypnotized.

With his nod, Yibo’s heart pounded, and a surge of excitement began to churn inside him.

“Good boy.” Yibo stretched out his hand to lightly hold Zhan beautiful chin with his index finger and thumb.

He lowered his head, and pressed his lips against his cherry lips; a strong, burning passion swept over them, like dry wood which came into contact with ember, instantly sparking a fire.

Yibo kissed, flirted, and grasped onto him tightly; his kissing skills made Zhan unable to resist at all, as if his entire body was intoxicated in Yibo kisses, and allowed him to have his way with him.

The kissing grew stronger and stronger like a raging storm… The flurry of kisses became erratic.

As he kissed him, Yibo led him towards the master bedroom; he kicked open the door, and pressed on top of him over the soft bed.

Yibo did not give him a chance to refuse, and continued to entangle his body against Zhan, and left him no time to think. His large palm slipped underneath Zhan clothes and stroked his tight, silky skin.

Zhan suddenly snapped to his senses, and immediately stopped Yibo’s advancements.

“Stop, stop-you have no right to do this to me!”

But Yibo didn’t stop, “Zhan, I have every right!”

Zhan couldn’t fight against Yibo’s gentleness, and felt as if he was about to be overwhelmed by Yibo again. Out of desperation, he bit down on Yibo lips.

The bite was so hard, Yibo was forced to let him go due to the pain.

Zhan took advantage of the moment to muster the strength and used his hands and feet to kick Yibo out of bed.

Caught off guard, Yibo fell off the edge of the bed.

Zhan quickly sat up and pulled up the clothes that rested on his shoulders, his chest rose and fell, and his heart was beating like thunder.

Yibo sat on the edge of the bed with one leg outstretched and the other leg bent; his arms rested on the knee of the bent leg. His hair was slightly messy, and with blood on his lips, he looked like a wounded lion, with a dangerous, haunting beauty to him.

“You’re the only one who’s dared to kick me out of bed.” Yibo licked the wound on his lips with his tongue.

“That’s because you crossed the line.” Zhan was like a white rabbit on full guard.

“I can cross it even more.” Yibo stood up sharply, like a big, bad wolf ready to pounce on the little white rabbit.

“Yibo, I’m married!” Zhan couldn’t hide it anymore; this was the only reason he could think of in hopes that Yibo would let him go.

Sure enough, Yibo stopped, stared at him, and curled his lips, “You’re married? Then why do you try to seduce me, again and again?”

“I… How did I seduce you?” Zhan retorted, but his face was flushed.

“You sent the message [I miss you] twice, and just now, I asked if you missed me, and you nodded.” Yibo accused him.

“I didn’t send it.” Zhan denied, “Neither message is on my phone.”

“Oh, don’t tell me that your account was hacked!” Only an idiot would believe this excuse.

“I…” Zhan was at a loss of words for a while, “but it’s true that I’m married.”

“Then who’s your husband?” Yibo sat on the edge of the bed, relaxed, “Let’s talk about it.”

“Why should I tell you?” Zhan rebuked.

I has never seen my mysterious husband either, but how could I tell him that?

“Did he become a bright star in the sky? Or you can’t tell at all!” Yibo was an impeding force, his words pressed closely to Zhan’s heart.

Zhan was completely helpless; he bit his lips and breathed deeply.

“Zhan, even if I believe that you have a husband, why are you telling me this now? Are you playing around with me?” Yibo’s voice gradually Zhan, and the more it did, the more Zhan couldn’t bear the pressure.

“I can’t and don’t want to explain to you the reasons, but it was my fault just now. But I never had any impure thoughts.” Zhan didn’t know how he was bewitched by Yibo and admitted that he missed him. “I apologize.”

Yibo listened earnestly; in fact, he wanted to test Zhan’s thoughts on the marriage contract.

“Mr. Wang, please go back.” Zhan said.

Not only did he not leave, but Yibo also lied down on the bed and said, “I’m tired after sitting on the plane for so long.”

Zhan’s beautiful eyes slightly widened; does he mean to stay over tonight?

“Mr. Wang, I already explained everything to you, please go.” Zhan couldn’t possibly accept this.

Yibo turned his back on Zhan, as if he complied.

“Mr. Wang…” Zhan looked at Yibo’s broad and strong back, “Mr. Wang… you can’t sleep here.”

Yibo didn’t budge; his breathing was stable. Could it be that he fell asleep already?

Isn’t he afraid of wrinkling that expensive custom-made suit?

Zhan looked on at this scoundrel, filled with anxiousness and anger in his heart.

Zhan got up from the bed and passed by him carefully, but just as he was about to reach the door, he stopped, furrowed his eyebrows, and reluctantly pulled a blanket over him.

Zhan left the bedroom and went to Fei’s room, and shared the same bed with his daughter.

I shouldn’t have been softhearted and given him a blanket; such people should catch a cold and suffer.

After Zhan left, Yibo slowly opened his eyes, and wrinkles around the corner of his eyes appeared as he smiled.

Zhan did abide by the contract, and did not say anything; he made himself into a man filled with misery and grievances.

But my dear wife, your husband is right here; I am your husband.

If you knew that I was always by your side, what kind of expression would you make?
