I Changed My Mind

Giving his father an appreciative look, Xia Jiannan excused himself briefly before heading to his room upstairs.

Despite the fact that they had already moved out to live on their own, Xia Jiannan's and Xia Jinhu's respective rooms at the Old Residence were still well-maintained.

Leaving his nosy younger brother to deal with their parents, Xia Jiannan quickly went to the en-suite bathroom in his room to take a cold shower.

He felt extremely suffocated wearing his business suit. As he was unbuttoning his shirt, Xia Jiannan could not help but frown as he looked at himself in the mirror.

In front of him was a man, not more than thirty years of age. His face was the epitome of perfection, as what other people say. But in the man's darkest depths, loneliness and longing were slowly starting to surface...

Suddenly, the image of a ravishing woman popped up into Xia Jiannan's mind.

She had a porcelain like skin, so fair and tender. Her golden strands of hair were as smooth as silk. Her thin lips were pink and tempting, making him have a sudden urge to kiss them.

But what captured Xia Jiannan's attention the most was the woman's tantalizing eyes which held a scintillating elegance yet had a hint of guilelessness in them.

He was lost in those endless pool of pitch-dark eyes that seemed to be an ocean reflecting a myriad of constellations of stars.

A minute or two had probably passed before Xia Jiannan came back to his senses.

His eyes had a dark gleam in them as he ran his hands through his hair, messing it up a little.

That dark and messy look just now was really sexy!

But Xia Jiannan could not stop himself from thinking about that beautiful woman named Rouxi...

Completely removing his shirt, Xia Jiannan's strong and bare chest could be seen. Each and every line of his abdominal muscles was extremely appealing.

If someone was to barge into the bathroom just then and saw this hot body of his, they would have fainted on the spot or they would have drooled over this Adonis.

However, the very man could just be careless about his own image. Glancing down at his apparent erection, Xia Jiannan laughed at himself mockingly.

It was just a kiss and yet his body was already acting this way. What more if...

He did not continue that thought as he stood under the cold shower stark naked.

. . .

After his older brother had left him with their parents, Xia Jinhu's facial expression contorted into that of a horrified one.

"Mother, father... I'm leaving too. If you may excuse me..." His voice was meek and yielding as he deeply bowed to his parents.

But before he could even take a step backwards, Master Xia had slung his arm over his shoulder.

They looked more like two brothers than a father and a son when they stood next to each other.

"I changed my mind." Master Xia squinted his eyes at Xia Jinhu. "You come with me now."

With that, Xia Jinhu was dragged into his father's study against his own free will.

Looking at their departing backs, Madam Xia could only tilt her head to the side, not comprehending what had just happened.

"Wait!" Madam Xia hollered.

The father and son duo turned to look back at the elegant woman. The older one had a smile plastered on his face like an exquisite gentleman while the young man seemed as though he was facing a huge dilemma.

"What is it, Jinqiu?"

It was Master Xia who spoke first.

Madam Xia did not say anything as she stared at the two men in suspicion, her eyes trailing over to the plastic bag that Xia Jinhu was holding.

Without waiting for his mother to ask, Xia Jinhu obediently held up the plastic bag in front of him and said, "Big bro's 'friend' gave him some good stuff and being the generous that he always is, he decided to share it with me."

Xia Jinhu really struggled to squeeze out the word 'friend' after recalling the heated kissing of his brother and that beautiful woman.

"Oh, is that so?" Madam Xia nodded her head, seemingly satisfied with Xia Jinhu's explanation. "Okay, do your thing. I shall not impose on you any longer."

After his mother left, terror overtook Xia Jinhu's handsome features as he remembered the last time his father had brought him to his study.

'Don't tell me that they are going to send me back to my evil succubus of a grandmother?!'

Thinking about this, Xia Jinhu's shoulders slumped as he felt his doom was coming nearer and nearer.
