That's quite a turn of events

....

After chatting with his mother for a while longer, Guang Ying decided to call it a night.

That night, Guang Ying had trouble sleeping as the matter regarding Xiao Lei was bothering him. Just as he was about to fall asleep, a soft creak caused by the door opening caused him to wake up again.

Based on the lack of footsteps sound, he knew who it was and thus, he did not bother to open his eyes. A few seconds later, he felt a slight dip from his side of the bed before someone kissed him on the forehead.

Opening his eyes slowly, he saw Callum, who was still in his work attire. Callum's tie had come undone, and he was rubbing his eyes as if he had not slept well for a long time.

"Callum?" Guang Ying glanced at the clock perched high up on the wall opposite of his bed and murmured, "It's 3 a.m. Why didn't you just come home tomorrow morning?"

"I can't wait to see you…" Callum whispered as he smiled at Guang Ying. He then took off his shirt before he climbed over to his side of the bed. "Hope you don't mind my smell, but I'm too tired to take a shower now..."

Then, as he looked at Guang Ying who looked sleepy, he took the latter's hand and planted a kiss on the back of it before he said softly, "I'm sorry I woke you up…"

Guang Ying yawned before he replied sleepily, "Well… It's not your fault… I wasn't really sleeping anyway."

As they leaned on their sides while looking at each other, Guang Ying asked softly, "Everything settled?"

Callum sighed. "For now… I've dealt with the deceased family and made the necessary compensation, but just as everything was about to be settled, they found another body that was hidden deep underneath the roubles..."

He then lay back on his back with one hand holding Guang Ying's hand and the other under the pillow. After a brief moment of silence, he continued, "According to the police that I talked to, the body has been dead for more than a decade. They have blocked the area, and it's now an open investigation for potential homicide."

"That's…" Guang Ying was at a loss for words. "That's quite a turn of events…"

Callum closed his eyes and he pulled Guang Ying's hand to place it on top of his heart.

"Yeah… I might have to be away again. XiAn wants me to deal with everything related to that project. So, even if I'm not needed, he wants me to be there overseeing everything," said Callum with an annoyed tone.

"It's good for you… Take this chance to learn more."

Callum glanced at Guang Ying as he replied, "Yeah… Anyway, go back to sleep now. You're tired."

"Can't sleep. An idiot woke me up…"

Callum smirked before he closed the distance between them by hugging Guang Ying. He then raised an eyebrow mischievously and asked in a whisper, "Then, should we?"

"No! Stop thinking about that…" Guang Ying frowned. He then said, "Since you're still so energetic, let's talk about something…"

"But I'd prefer to have your mouth doing something else other than talk…"

Guang Ying glared at him. "Don't make me send you to the living room again…"

"Alright, alright! You're the boss!" Callum said before he took another quick kiss when Guang Ying was not paying attention.

Shaking his head at Callum's playfulness, Guang Ying then told him everything about Xiao Lei. Once he was done, Callum frowned as he gave it a serious thought.

After a long while, Callum said, "She seems to be quite a hassle to deal with. President Fan Lei's missing daughter… If she wants to fight for the child with us in the future, it won't be easy for us to keep her off."

Guang Ying nodded. He had thought about it as well. "She doesn't seem like the type... But I get what you're worried about. As much as I don't want this to be a business transaction, but for the sake of our child, I'll get her to sign a contract."

"Our child…" Callum smiled stupidly. He wondered what would their child look like. Suddenly, he pinned Guang Ying down by climbing onto him. As he was straddling Guang Ying, he leaned down with each of his elbows at each side of Guang Ying's head.

With only mere inches separating their faces, Callum asked, "Now that we have a 'mother', don't you think we need to talk about your reluctance to give me your sperm?"

"Don't make it sound so dirty." Guang Ying frowned. However, he could not take his eyes off Callum's lips and that caused his heart to beat faster than ever.

Callum laughed softly at Guang Ying's words. Then, as he looked at his lover's eyes, he said in a serious tone, "Jokes aside... I don't want to do it without you."

"We still have at least two weeks to think about it," Guang Ying said before he pushed Callum away from him. He then turned over to face the other side so that he could think properly without the distraction that was Callum's face.

Dr. Phillip said that they would begin the process on the first day of Xiao Lei's period, and according to her own rough calculations, she was of the opinion that her next period would come after two weeks.

That was enough time for them to get everything done without waiting for another cycle.

Guang Ying could hear movements from behind him and before he turned around, he was already spooned by his lover. The warmth that was coming from Callum soothed Guang Ying's weary mind and body.

Callum did not say anything. He merely placed a soft kiss on Guang Ying's naked shoulder while he hugged him tightly.

Before long, both of them fell asleep again.
