In the apartment, Li Feng Mian was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed and was looking at Wei Chen who was practically glaring at him.
"The contract... did you read the terms before you signed it?"
Feng Mian asked waving the document in his hand.
"Did you give me the chance to read it? You took advantage of my Father's greediness and made me sign it. You must be happy, Young Master Li," Wei Chen snorted.
Feng Mian smirked, "Yes, I did so what? You and your brother too doll up and attend all those cheap business parties to get attention from those old perverts for money, don't you? I just made it simple for you to get money and I am handsome, unlike those old bastards."
"It's..."
Wei Chen clenched his jaw and closed his eyes to calm himself down and then opened again with eyes that looked forlorn,
"It's not because we wanted to do that... it's because we have a Father who doesn't care about their sons for money and fame. What's our fault in that?"
Feng Mian removed his crossed legs and sat straight feeling something deep inside his heart seeing how dejected the other's eyes were.
"Then why are you putting up with him? It's not like you are minor or something. You can just leave and live your life," Feng Mian questioned.
"You think if I had that chance I wouldn't have done it? But if I left home selfishly thinking about my happiness then what about my little brother? He is still a minor, he can't leave the home with me and my Father will..."
Wei Chen's voice stuck in his throat as his eyes got glossy remembering the last month's incident when he needed to go on a business trip.
He felt something was wrong but still left as it was an urgent matter to take care of leaving Xiao Bo at home alone.
And his Father took him to B city taking that as a chance.
He still remembered how miserable his little brother looked when he came back home.
He was scared and was crying non-stop.
Even if he was in that state Song Yi Ming was merciless towards him. He whipped him until he went unconscious.
If not for Wei Chen who stopped him by saying the good news that their company got the tender and Li's family was defeated his Father wouldn't have stopped and Xiao Bo wouldn't have been alive.
The reporters and the media didn't let Xiao Bo breathe after that incident.
He didn't step out of their home and stayed cooped up in his room sobbing every day.
One day he decided to end it all and jumped into the lake on the backside of their mansion.
If a maid hadn't seen it and informed him, Xiao Bo would have drowned to death. Wei Chen saved him and took him to his room.
That was the day Xiao Bo was regressed.
Wei Chen saw Feng Mian was about to say something but he stopped him.
"And before you start calling my little brother with degrading names again... he isn't like that. He isn't anything like what the rumors say him to be. He is just a kid who is too kind at heart to the point no matter how many times our Father abused him physically to the brink of death, he never said anything back and took everything silently."
Wei Chen's eyes teared up as he felt weak in his legs, he dropped on his knees.
Feng Mian extended his hand in the air to hold the other but stopped himself as the other spoke,
"He isn't a slut or a whore who just wants attention. He is too naive and innocent that he didn't even know his Father was trying to sell him for money and ruin him."
Feng Mian could sense that Wei Chen was being honest.
Cause the other's Father just let his son sign the slavery contract without even thinking for a second just for money.
He got the idea of how both siblings were living in their home.
He understood why Wei Chen got all mad when Li Fan and Mei Lian used offensive language against Xiao Bo.
>>>Am I wrong about him... why am I feeling guilty?
But he immediately shook off his thoughts cause he just wanted to play with Wei Chen while he was in S city for his entertainment and then toss him away when he had to leave.
He was not a person to get into a committed relationship.
He would just play around with pretty boys of younger age and then leave them in about a month to move on to another.
He was a big playboy which was why when Feng Mian talked with Shen Yu, Wang Mu Chen became all protective of his cousin as he knew too well about his friend and business partner.
It was the first time Li Feng Mian showed interest in men older than him. Well, Song Wei Chen doesn't look old at all.
Even though he was 23 years old he looked like a minor with soft but sharp features that added charm to his beauty.
Wherever he went his Oynx-coloured eyes would mesmerize everyone and capture their hearts.
But Wei Chen wasn't someone to mess with as he was stronger mentally than anyone because of the cruel experiences he had while growing up.
He never allowed anyone to flirt with him or take advantage of him.
He would always walk with his head straight, confidence oozing out of him, and would pierce the people through just his gaze as he could smell liars from kilometers away.
Even though he would show himself as a bad guy with arrogance dripping out of every word coming from his mouth he was just a soft-hearted tsundere at heart who secretly craved to be loved.
Feng Mian got the whiff of it seeing him all soft for his Didi.
So, first, he wanted to gain the other's trust which he lost just this morning by cornering him.
>>>He is just like a cornered kitten bearing claws ready to scratch whoever approaches it. First, I have to gain his trust and then tame him... it would be so interesting to play with him while I am here.
Feng Mian as usual would find fun in playing with other's hearts and now his target was locked on Wei Chen who was a tough nut to be cracked.
He wanted to crack him open just to satisfy his ego and pride.
"I..." Feng Mian sighed, "I understand. I was too early to judge you and your little brother. It was my fault so as an apology I will tear off this contract."
Song Wei Chen's eyes widened when he heard that, "What?..." He couldn't believe his ears.
Feng Mian smiled, "You didn't read the contract right? To sum it up you would be my slave until I stay in this city and I have every right over you. By every right, I mean I can use you for any purpose and you have no say in that."
Wei Chen's Adam's apple bobbed down as his eyelashes trembled.
His fingers that were clutching onto his trousers were turning pale.
No matter how worse things got Wei Chen would never want to put his pride down.
To think he would have to be a slave for the man he just met yesterday was a huge blow to him.
He knew what Feng Mian meant by stressing the words 'can use for any purpose'.
He wasn't a fool to not understand what he was indicating and he would never even in his dreams want to become a toy for a man's sexual desires.
Not even after a hundred thousand years.
He would just kill the person who would force himself upon him and then would kill himself rather than go through such a shameful thing.
"Are you really going to tear that contract, why?"
Wei Chen queried cause the other was hell-bent on taking revenge on him for raising his voice against his cousins.
>>>So, why did he change his mind so suddenly?
"Yes. But on two conditions. And for the question why...just because I don't want you to be my slave and I am not inclined to use you for my desires," Feng Mian stated, looking straight into his eyes.
"What..." Wei Chen was hesitant, "... conditions?"
"Simple, just like I asked you this morning. I just want you to accompany me and take me to visit places and also go on some dates with me while I stay here. My second condition is not to go back on your words after I tear down this contract. If you did by now you know right, what I am capable of?"
"Why me...?" Wei Chen asked.
"Because you are just my type and I find you interesting," Feng Mian replied instantly.
Wei Chen's heartbeat suddenly raised as a light pink tint covered his cheeks,
"One last question."
Feng Mian nodded, "Go ahead."
"If that's all you want then why did you make such a fuss this morning?"
Wei Chen was curious cause he acted like a total jerk just before but now he would rip off that slavery contract in turn of him going on dates with him?
>>>Why would he do that? He can just keep the slavery contract and let me do everything he wants...what is he planning?
"I got a little mad as you rejected me and didn't keep your word so I just wanted to teach you a lesson but I didn't know your Father would go to such lengths and insult you in front of everyone. I am truly sorry for that but even if I told you all this before you would have not believed me so I just let your Father write the contract."
Feng Mian looked honest but it was a half-truth-half lie cause indeed he wanted to teach Wei Chen a lesson for rejecting him continuously but he knew that Song Yi Ming was a greedy money-minded person who would go to any lengths.
So he kind of guessed what would he do to Wei Chen and even enjoyed it as he was being beaten by his Father.
Telling that he felt bad was a pure lie as he intended to make him suffer from the start.
"So, what's your decision? Will you agree to my conditions?" Feng Mian asked.
