169 – A Win Win Situation

While their family members, blood related or otherwise, were having a discussion downstairs, Fang had carried off Ren to their study (since the babies were still sleeping in their bedroom) and was pulling off Ren's pyjama top.

Ren was quite amused by Fang's actions. "There really is no need to panic," he said with a slight smile.

Fang glared at him. "If you don't want me to panic, then you have to be as tough as a wall," he murmured. "No, as tough as steel!"

"Wouldn't your nose hurt every time you bumped against me, then?" Ren asked with a laugh.

Fang glared at him, and finally succeeded in removing Ren's top. He sucked in a sharp breath when he saw finger shaped bruises on Ren's pale shoulders – stark in contrast to his light skin.

Tears pooled in Fang's eyes again. "I – I did this…?" he whispered. "I hurt you…"

"It's all right, I didn't even notice, and it doesn't hurt," Ren lied in a rush – he really hated to see Fang cry like this.
