I want to sleep with you!

It was his first love. Lingyun frowned at him as he pressed Yuxuan's hands against the wall viciously, which caused Yuxuan to bite his teeth out of pain.

"Are you a fool or something else? Why in the world do you want to marry him?"

Lingyun yelled, looking left and right hurriedly, to make sure there was no one in the corridor except them.

"That's my wish!" Keeping biting his teeth, Yuxuan growled.

"What if he furled and carried away your properties in the name of marriage?" Lingyun declared.

"He, or you?" Yuxuan sarcastically remarked, causing Lingyun to throw off balance. "Aren't you running off me for the money my fiance offered you?"

Lingyun's body experienced a shudder; his grip on Yuxuan's wrist got loose, and his lips shivered to pronounce the words that his throat was shoving up. At last, his voice came out as cracked.

"H-How Y-You-"

"Do you still think that I will remain blind to your love?" Yuxuan snarled and firmly said, "Not anymore!"

"Why do you want to be like this? I accepted theirs because they threatened me that they would kill you if I didn't accept their offer." with a serious look on his face and voice, he said.

Yuxuan could only splash a flimsy sneer.

"So you did love me?" Asked Yuxuan.

"Yes." His answer was stagger-free.

Again, a scornful chuckle slipped Yuxuan's lips. "Liar!" He growled like a lion.

"As far as I know, my family can't kill me for the properties. If they did, all my properties would be given to homeless people. You need to be careful if you decide to come up with a lie. I'm not old Yuxuan anymore!" He enunciated.

"Get off me!" He shook his hands, but Lingyun clenched his wrist tight and slammed it against the wall.

"You! Leave Zixin alone. That's not safe for you. He is a rich brat. He won't propose to a man instead of a lot of women who were running after him. He must have some secret to marry you out of all women." LingYun explained incessantly, gasping for air.

"Leave Zixin alone."

"That's not safe for you."

Yuxuan tried to pronounce them the exact way LingYun pronounced these two sentences. With subtly narrow eyes, he looked into his eyes and raised an eyebrow.

"The second sentence doesn't seem to fit the first one. This is more like you are threatening me to stay away from my future husband." He caught the hole in LingYun's faking care. A short-term chuckle escaped his lips while he said, "Why?"

Not to delay, assessing the two-second silence of LingYun, where his hot breath only conveyed he was mad right now, Yuxuan pulled his face to a deep scowl. "Do you perhaps have any intention to snatch my husband?"

Judging LingYun's frown and wrath-filled hot breath, Yuxuan confirmed that his instinct was right.

"Loves my husband? For money or his body?" Yuxuan scornfully declared

"Watch your mouth!" LingYun roared.

"Hahn? Watch my mouth? So it is love?" Yuxuan acted surprised.

"Love?"

"Woah!"

"Then what about the person you introduced to us in the morning? Is he a playtoy then?" Now he sounded like he was worrying for that man.

LingYun couldn't digest the sarcastic behaviour of Yuxuan. Because all he knows about Yuxuan is that he is innocent, and anyone can fool him without even trying.

"You think that you can snatch my husband?" Yuxuan queried and challenged

"Try then!"

He then shook off his hand, walking away from him, leaving him annoyed.

................... ................... ...................

A full moon swept its glimmers into the active city as lamps illuminated Yuxuan's huge hotel.

Dinner was made on the dining table. Yuxuan came out of his room, his half-dried hairs telling him it's been only a few minutes since he bathed. As he rubbed his hair using a soft fabric, he looked at the sofa, where his briefly shut eyes felt a shade.

"Hi,"

Zixin waved his hand at him, offering an adorable smile.

Yuxuan dropped his hand. A dissatisfied sigh whirled out of his lips. Yet his hand held that towel.

"What's your business here at this hour?" Yuxuan asked, pointing out the night sky outside the wide-opened window.

"I want to sleep with you,"

Zixin replied shortly, innocently blinking with the same beam as if he had no idea that his words had two meanings.

Within a fading moment, Yuxuan knitted his eyebrows, his muscles tensing, and his steady glaze was about to pierce Zixin, who was just thriving to relook at what his mouth just spilled accidentally to earn Yuxuan's scowl.

Zixin went with deep gasps, shook his head immediately, and stammered to explain what he really wanted to say.

"No-No, I don't mean- thaaatt sleep. Just sleep. Sleep only!"

At last, after a much loud throb of heartbeat that worsened his voice, he delivered.

*Ring Ring*

*Ring Ring*

Yuxuan's phone, which was resting on the sofa table, caught their attention. Yuxuan sprinted to the table quickly and picked up his phone. As soon as he saw it was his father, he hissed at Zixin to say, Be quiet.

Zixin zipped his mouth promptly.

"Hello, Papa,"

Yuxuan voiced incredibly deferentially, heading to his room as Zixin's fixed sight on Yuxuan rolled along with him until Yuxuan shut the door tenderly.

Zixin then got a hold of a book from the table that had picture details about Yuxuan's hotel and began to see those.

Inside the room.

"Yes, Papa. What's with the sudden call? I have already told you that I need some time to think about marrying him," Yuxuan elucidated, leaning on the backside against the door.

"Since when did my boy start to lie like this?"

His mother's disappointed voice came from the other end of the call.

His father hissed at her and revealed, "Zixin told us everything—that you want to marry him right now badly. We are on the way to his hometown. Their family had arranged a marriage the day after tomorrow for your rush. I don't even think you will fall for him like this, Yuxuan."

His father cutely mocked him and continued, "Anyway, he will bring you to his hometown tomorrow; just endure tonight only. Do not cross your line while sleeping in the same bed. Keep that in your mind, my son. He is such a gentleman."

"He?" Yuxuan muttered, grimacing like he strongly opposed his compliment of Zixin.

"Do you understand?" His father asked after ceaselessly spilling. At last, Yuxuan saw a chance to speak.

"Papa, how can marriage be done in one day?" Yuxuan asked and showed some concern.

His mother snatched the phone from his father and said, "You don't worry about that, Yuxuan. My son-in-law's parents have already started the work. Take rest for today."

His mother hung up the phone.

Here, Yuxuan let out a slothful sigh before coming out of the room. Noticing Zixin seeing the picture book casually as if nothing happened, Yuxuan turned into a red-horned head and furiously walked to him.

As Zixin glimpsed Yuxuan's toe tensely tapping on the ground, he moved that book from his sight, gradually browsing his view from bottom to top, only to find Yuxuan's intense frown.
