Chapter 28
Wei Yuhuan felt a pang in his heart as he was stirred by Xie Xiaojiang’s straightforward answer. It was like his five organs and six intestines were soaked in a soup made of hawthorn cake, both sour and sweet.
The person who feels jealous is the one who’s eating vinegar, but the person who’s being jealous feels like they’re eating a piece of honey candy.
But who was Xie Xiaojiang feeling jealous of? Lou Ze?
Wei Yuhuan was thrilled by Xie Xiaojiang’s jealousy, but he couldn’t tolerate his beloved being too heartbroken because of it.
He carefully recalled everything that happened to Xie Xiaojiang before and after his mood changed, and he felt that Lou Ze was the only one who could have caused this trouble.
“What did Lou Ze say to you?” Wei Yuhuan interrogated Xie Xiaojiang, holding him tightly.
Xie Xiaojiang told Wei Yuhuan exactly what Lou Ze had said, without any concealment or exaggeration.
Wei Yuhuan had had a lover before, which was nothing unusual. Xie Xiaojiang was puzzled, however, why Wei Yuhuan had been with Lou Ze while still being with Li Secretary. Why did Wei Yuhuan break up with them? What had Wei Yuhuan done to Li Xiuya that caused Lou Ze to warn him not to get too deeply involved?
Although he repeatedly told himself not to care about what others said and to trust his own instincts, Xie Xiaojiang had to admit that his feelings for Wei Yuhuan had already influenced his subjective judgment to some extent.
Liking someone is not an excuse to disregard logic and reason. Therefore, he wanted to hear Wei Yuhuan’s explanation, hoping that his answer could ease his anxiety.
“Lou Ze was right, I have been with Secretary Li before,” Wei Yuhuan did not deny it, but he was a little surprised that Lou Ze knew about it.
However, there was someone more important to be comforted at the moment, so Wei Yuhuan temporarily put aside this doubt and continued to explain to Xie Xiaojiang, “Lou Ze and I were only in a transactional relationship.”
“Transactional relationship?” Xie Xiaojiang was taken aback.
“He is the type I like, but only in terms of appearance. He had other motives for being with me,” Wei Yuhuan spoke these words with a faster pace, revealing his anxiety and unease. “At the time, he was a newly debuted artist, and his agent wanted me to promote him and recommend him to others. In exchange, he became my underground lover. In other words, our relationship was only a transaction of money and sex.”
Xie Xiaojiang remained silent.
Wei Yuhuan continued, “At the time, I had an agreement with Lou Ze that he couldn’t be with anyone else while he was with me, but he broke the agreement, so we broke up.”
Using a popular phrase found on the internet: “Appearance often determines whether a man wants to know a woman’s thoughts, and thoughts determine whether a man wants to veto a woman’s beauty.”
This phrase also applies to Wei Yuhuan’s criteria for finding a partner: appearance and sex determine whether he wants to start a relationship, but personality and inner talent determine whether he takes that relationship seriously.
With every lover he had, Wei Yuhuan had hoped for a serious future, which is why he was able to speak so passionately about his abnormal views on love in front of Qi Muying and Shao Yongyang.
However, before meeting Xie Xiaojiang, it seemed that the god of love had never favored this seemingly promiscuous man.
Xie Xiaojiang asked again, “What about Secretary Li?”
“Li Xiuya has excellent work abilities, and I admire him, but I didn’t plan on having a relationship with him at first.” Wei Yuhuan spoke cautiously, afraid that Xie Xiaojiang would reject him, have other thoughts, or become angry. This feeling of being overly worried was also something new for Wei Yuhuan.
“Last year, I was in the US for half a year, and Lou Ze wasn’t with me…you understand, I had needs. At that time, Li Xiuya frequently hinted at me, and I…” Wei Yuhuan couldn’t say any more, as if he was reflecting on his promiscuous behavior for the first time.
But Xie Xiaojiang continued to look at him with his clear black and white eyes, scrutinizing him and leaving Wei Yuhuan almost powerless to resist.
Sighing, Wei Yuhuan said, “I think Li Xiuya probably likes me, but I don’t feel the same way, so after we had a relationship, I bought him many things as compensation. When I returned to China, I made it clear to him that we were only in a normal superior-subordinate relationship.”
Wei Yuhuan held Xie Xiaojiang in his arms, not allowing him to have any chance of escaping, “Baby, are you satisfied with my explanation?”
Xie Xiaojiang lowered his eyes, his pitch-black pupils like two deep pools, and there was no emotion visible on his face. For a moment, Wei Yuhuan felt like he was the one being controlled by Xie Xiaojiang, his emotions swaying with this person’s every move, yet he was willing to do so.
Just as Wei Yuhuan was feeling anxious and uneasy, Xie Xiaojiang made a conclusion: “Wei Yuhuan, you’re so fickle.”
Wei Yuhuan: “……”
Hearing this, Wei Yuhuan became even more guilty, and he quickly confessed: “But I only like you now, you’re different from them.”
Xie Xiaojiang’s expression changed slightly, muttering, “You’re so good at sweet talk.”
In his heart, Wei Yuhuan called him “little rascal”: “I swear I’ll only be fickle for you from now on, okay?”
Xie Xiaojiang didn’t answer, but his face already had a little smile on it.
Wei Yuhuan breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to make Xie Xiaojiang happy so badly that he would even show him his heart!
Having made Xie Xiaojiang happy, Wei Yuhuan felt as though he had accomplished a great feat. He hugged him tightly, their foreheads touching as he gently rocked him back and forth, asking, “Are you still angry?”
“I’m not angry.” Xie Xiaojiang nuzzled him and said in a small voice, “I told you, I’m just jealous.”
Wei Yuhuan couldn’t help but smile at his adorable little crab. They exchanged a kiss, and Wei Yuhuan couldn’t resist teasing him, “Don’t be silent, don’t be upset, eat as much vinegar as you want, I’m happy to see you jealous.”
“No way!” Xie Xiaojiang pinched Wei Yuhuan’s arm and protested, “How could I be the only one feeling bad in this situation? That’s not fair.”
Wei Yuhuan: “…”
He didn’t want to be alone and upset. Was that the reason why Xie Xiaojiang was so honest?
Wei Yuhuan was controlled by his temper and character, and couldn’t help but coax him with kisses: “It’s my fault, I admit it and apologize. I was wrong, I’ll make it up to you. Since we’re in France, whatever brand name clothes, bags, watches, or shoes you want, I’ll buy them for you.”
Xie Xiaojiang snorted and didn’t care about what Wei Yuhuan said. He just wanted to wear clothes that fit and Wei Yuhuan had already given him what he wanted.
As for now, Xie Xiaojiang hugged Wei Yuhuan’s neck and whispered in his ear: “I want to make love to you.”
“… “This little devil was really unpredictable!
Wei Yuhuan held back the nosebleed that was about to burst out and rolled with Xie Xiaojiang onto the bed of the five-star hotel.
Half an hour later, Xie Xiaojiang, with a flushed face, rode on top of Wei Yuhuan and moaned as he moved up and down slowly.
Wei Yuhuan held onto his waist and was almost losing his patience from his slow movements. “Baby, you’re too slow. How about Daddy be on top?” he coaxed hoarsely.
“No.” Xie Xiaojiang liked this position, where he could control the rhythm himself and see Wei Yuhuan’s expression of losing control with his movements.
He used his hands to support Wei Yuhuan’s chest and slowly lifted his hips before quickly sitting down, taking all of Wei Yuhuan inside of him. Wei Yuhuan couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, with blue veins appearing on the back of his hands.
Xie Xiaojiang smiled proudly, slightly tilting his chin and said, “Now that you’re with me, you can’t be a player anymore, you know?”
Wei Yuhuan replied, “…Baby, whatever you say goes.”
Xie Xiaojiang grinned.
After another ten minutes of teasing and slow movements, Xie Xiaojiang was tired and hadn’t managed to finish himself off, so he gave up and begged Wei Yuhuan, “You do it now~”
Finally, Wei Yuhuan was granted forgiveness and flipped over like a salted fish, taking Xie Xiaojiang under him and making him feel incredibly pleasured.
On the first day in Paris, the two of them spent the whole day entangled with each other in the hotel due to a “jealousy incident.”
Wei Yuhuan and Xie Xiaojiang have just finished their ten-day trip to Paris. During the trip, Wei Yuhuan took Xie Xiaojiang to visit the Louvre, Versailles Palace, and stroll along the Seine River. They also spent time in bed together. On their last two days, Wei Yuhuan wanted to take Xie Xiaojiang to visit some castles and small towns around Paris, but Xie Xiaojiang wanted to go to Disneyland instead. Wei Yuhuan reluctantly agreed to accompany him, but almost threw up on the space roller coaster and submarine ride. Xie Xiaojiang had a great time and returned with a suitcase full of new clothes and souvenirs.
When they returned to S City, Wei Yuhuan personally accompanied Xie Xiaojiang to register for school. Xie Xiaojiang called him “dad” in bed, so Wei Yuhuan felt a heavy sense of responsibility towards him. However, he had no experience in raising children and only wanted to spoil Xie Xiaojiang. Xie Xiaojiang was a sensible person and Wei Yuhuan was not worried about spoiling him.
They drove in a Porsche to Xie Xiaojiang’s school, but Xie Xiaojiang didn’t realize how expensive the car was and was surrounded by people who envied him. Wei Yuhuan didn’t want to draw attention to himself and stayed in the car while Xie Xiaojiang went to register and pick up his textbooks. He asked his friend Qi Muying to show Xie Xiaojiang around, but Qi Muying was surprised that Wei Yuhuan was worried about Xie Xiaojiang getting lost and needed his help.
While Wei Yuhuan waited in the car and read the news, a handsome young man in a white shirt knocked on the car window and frowned at him.
