LBOT-44

When Xiao Zhan came from the basement and went upstairs, he was surprised to see Kim Joon in the living room. How in the world did he know about this place?

Kim Yaan sat like a sinner beside him. Kim Joon appears to have already scolded him, based on the look on his face.

Xiao Zhan also looked up and approached them.

Kim Joon, who had been sitting, stood up and frowned, but his expression toned down when he saw Wang Yibo.

The three stood up and walked to the doorway, conversing in Korean.

[What happened? Is this Hong Kong?]

Kim Joon, who was contacted for the first time, was shocked and concerned, so he came right away.

Obviously, he said not to go to save one person even if he was caught, but it was just words, and when something came up, he was worried that his younger brothers would be in danger.

[There was a reason for that.]

Kim Yaan protested, but it didn’t work.

[Reason? I definitely told you not to go anywhere near China. And Sean. It’s also wrong that you lied to me. Do you understand?]

[Yaan was arrested because of me, so I can’t pretend I didn’t know.]

[Is that why you’re locked up in the basement? You’re trying to save me?]

[That’s right. It’s strange no matter how you think about it.]

[It’s not like you to be careless.]

[That crazy guy put a syringe in my neck.]

[Drugs?]

[Not really, but he’s really annoying. I should have killed him then.]

[I agree with that. So annoying.]

[Both of you, be quiet. I heard everything.]

Kim Joon was usually generous with people and laughed a lot, but when he got angry, he was terrifying.

Both Xiao Zhan and Kim Yaan responded with a few words, but then they closed their mouths and looked at their toes for no reason.

Wang Yibo was brimming with energy as he looked at the three. He was leaning against the sofa, applying an ice pack to the area where Xiao Zhan had hit him.

Go somewhere far away to talk. Or do they think I can’t understand Korean?

Thanks to that, Yibo fully understood how much Xiao Zhan hated him. He knocked on the table as the conversation never seemed to end.

The eyes of the three were focused on Wang Yibo.

“I think that’s enough for the conversation, so can you take a seat now?”

The three of them came to the seats across from each other and sat side by side.

Despite their polite demeanor, Kim Yaan and Xiao Zhan both stared at him.

Yibo placed the ice pack on the table. There was still swelling and blood crusts on the corners of his mouth.

Xiao Zhan felt refreshed on the inside. Kim Yaan asked in his ear if he did that, and when he nodded, he was also overjoyed.

Bowen placed a file in front of the three of them after the employee brought out the tea.

Kim Joon was the first to open it. Kim Yaan and Xiao Zhan soon followed suit. It was a contract.

Kim Joon covered the papers and placed them on the table without even looking at the content entirely.

He had already heard the narrative on the way, but it was nonsense.

“I’m sorry. I appreciate the offer, but I decline it.”

Kim Yaan’s eyes widened as he sullenly turned over the back page. It was a one-year contract with Wang Yibo, but the total amount was quite large when the down payment, salary, and case-specific incentives were factored in.

Kim Yaan was taken aback when he saw it and nudged Xiao Zhan with his elbow. Hurry up and read it.

Xiao Zhan saw it as well, but like Kim Joon, he covered it up and threw it in front of him.

Kim Yaan held on to the contract with a sad face until it was snatched and thrown away by Xiao Zhan.

“Are you not satisfied with the terms?”

Kim Joon tried his best not to offend him.

“In the meantime, I’ve received similar offers from a number of companies. But we are more comfortable with the three of us moving as we do now. It is inconvenient to be a part of a group and then receive supervision or instructions.”

Yibo looked at him with an expression asking him to say more.

“Also, there were some unsavory things between CEO Wang and our youngest brother. Wouldn’t it be difficult? When the relationship of trust has already been broken?”

Yibo leaned back on the sofa and muttered to himself as he crossed his arms. It was unfortunate. He looked over at Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan kept a glum expression on his face. His eyes are very lively for someone who has been starving for several days.

Actually, when he hit him earlier, he appeared to be bursting with energy. Yibo was a lunatic who brought a meal and went down for him because he was worried.

“Don’t worry about it. Because I don’t mind. I’m a human being who doesn’t hold grudges.”

When Yibo refused to step down easily, Kim Joon kept his mouth shut. If he looked at the circumstances, it wasn’t so bad, but he was concerned because the relationship had gone wrong before. Xiao Zhan would be in the same situation.

Yibo returned the contract to Kim Joon.

“I’ll give you a few days to stay here and think about it. Aren’t the terms too wasteful to overturn because of the past?”

Xiao Zhan frowned as soon as Yibo smiled.

Kim Joon tried to smile as he cleared his throat. He needs to finish the negotiation and get out of here without any mishaps.

“CEO Wang may have forgotten, but our youngest still has grudges.”

At those words, Yibo straightened his back and looked at Xiao Zhan with friendly eyes.

“How. Shall I apologize here?”

Xiao Zhan flatly refused.

“I don’t need it.”

Yibo lowered his eyebrows.

“I’m really sorry.”

Xiao Zhan snorted, and Yibo immediately continued.

“Next time we have sex, I’ll be sure to ask for your permission first.”

Xiao Zhan’s mouth opened, and Yibo immediately added.

“Still, you liked it when I sucked on your nipple. You agree, right?”

Kim Yaan, who was drinking tea, spat it into the teacup. 🥶

Kim Joon’s eyes widened and his mouth half-opened. 😱

Xiao Zhan held his breath and looked at Yibo confusedly.🙄

In response, Yibo shrugged.

“Don’t your brothers know that you and I had that kind of relationship?”

Kim Joon stepped forward.

“Hey, CEO Wang. It’s too much of a joke.”

Yibo laughed.

“Ask your cute youngest brother if I’m joking or not.”

Kim Joon and Kim Yaan’s heads turned at the same time, their gazes fixed on Xiao Zhan, who sat in the center.

Xiao Zhan clenched his teeth and glared at Wang Yibo, then alternately looked at the two sitting on either side of him and laughed as if baffled.

“Do you believe him? Absolutely not!”

They both said ok then, but when Wang Yibo, who was sitting in front of them, smiled confidently, they became confused.

Looking back, Xiao Zhan never mentioned Wang Yibo during his entire life on the run. He could bring it out like a useless venting if he had a drink, but he avoided it at all costs.

Perhaps that’s why…

When they stared at him intently from both sides, Xiao Zhan couldn’t stand it and jumped up from his seat.

“Anyway, I don’t sign this contract. I’ll be back, so give me my stuff.”

Xiao Zhan lost his temper and walked outside, but when Kim Yaan tried to move, Yibo stopped him and stood up first.

“Don’t worry. I will go out and comfort him.”

After Wang Yibo disappeared, Kim Joon and Kim Yaan made eye contact and looked serious.

“Just now… Did he say he would comfort him?”

“Yeah. You heard it right.”

Kim Yaan looked at his bandaged finger. Yibo put his fingers together quickly because he said he was Xiao Zhan’s brother.

“Is it true?”

“Hmm… You know how much Xiao Zhan likes pretty girls.”

“That’s right.”

They both tried to deny it and looked out the living room window.

Xiao Zhan hurried away, but Wang Yibo grabbed his arm, and Xiao Zhan shook him off.

Furthermore, Xiao Zhan would not laugh or blink an eye at his opponent in this situation, but he was unusually hotheaded and displayed his emotions. It was very rare.

Xiao Zhan now was swinging a stick around. Although it was hard to see, Wang Yibo looked happy.

They should be worried that there would be a fight, but after what they heard a while ago, it looked like a lover’s quarrel.

The two took their eyes off the window and looked at each other at the same time.

It was strange no matter how they looked at it.

Yibo held onto Xiao Zhan, who was huffing and puffing as he walked across the lawn.

Yibo grabbed him again after Zhan shook him off, but Xiao Zhan punched him.

Yibo quickly avoided it, but Zhan couldn’t take it anymore, so he broke a long broom nearby with his foot and swung the stick.

Yibo grabbed it and pulled it while avoiding it.

Xiao Zhan tried to hit him with his forehead when he tried to grab his arm because his body was being dragged.

Yibo was almost hit again where he had been hit before. Yibo dodged and clasped his shoulder.

“Honey, do you have anger management disorder?”

“It seems so. I didn’t know, but whenever I see Director Wang makes me want to kill you.”

As Xiao Zhan was grinding his teeth, Wang Yibo let go of Xiao Zhan’s shoulder and took his wallet from his pocket.

When Yibo found what he was looking for, he put his business card between his fingers and proudly held it out in front of Xiao Zhan.

The words ‘CEO Wang Yibo’ were clearly seen.

He waved it in front of Xiao Zhan eyes and stuffed it into his shirt’s front pocket.

“Thanks to you, I got promoted. Sorry for the late gratitude, but thank you.”

He put his business card in and gently rubbed Zhan’s cheek, so he slapped Yibo’s hand away.

“So, help me a little more. You will not be disappointed with the reward.”

“I don’t trust you.”

“Don’t trust me, trust my money.”

“…”

“I will pay the entire amount you suggested in one lump sum. Including severance pay.”

Xiao Zhan paused. Was he saying he’d pay the down payment, salary, and severance pay all at once?

Xiao Zhan vaguely remembered the amount he’d seen in the contract. Even if the three were not added together, the total was enormous.

Yibo tilts his head and examines his expression as Zhan continues to stiffen his expression while looking at him.

“The terms aren’t bad, are they?”

Xiao Zhan bit his lower lip.

Wang Yibo, who was looking into his eyes, smiled and said something more.

“You can take my dick as a bonus if you want.”
