Chapter 25

Huo Youqiao’s voice was deep as he said, “Don’t you think if you have the time, you should explain the rumors to Ye Zhi?”

Huo Youcheng smiled, “Since you also call it a rumor, what is there to explain?” He turned to look at his partner sitting in the backseat like a quail, with a smirk on his face, “Do you want my explanation?”

Ye Zhi hesitated for a moment and quickly shook his head.

“You see, he doesn’t even want an explanation. Brother, you don’t need to worry about matters between me and my partner. If you really want to worry about something, then hurry up and find me a sister-in-law.” Huo Youcheng casually tossed the problem back, and indeed, as soon as he mentioned “sister-in-law,” Huo Youqiao stopped pursuing the topic further.

When they arrived home, it was almost one in the morning. Huo Youqiao went upstairs to see his daughter, leaving only two people in the spacious living room.

With his elder brother gone, Huo Youcheng’s smile vanished instantly from his face. When his gaze fell on Ye Zhi, it couldn’t help but carry a hint of disgust. He kicked off his shoes, put on slippers, and then said to Ye Zhi, “Come here.”

Ye Zhi stiffened all over and slowly raised his head.

“Help me take off my clothes.” He smirked, his tone mocking, “It’s your duty as my partner.”

The man was very handsome, different from the youthful charm he had in his teenage years. Now his handsomeness was mature and direct, visually striking. He was also a good clothes rack; the designer suit fit him as if it were tailor-made, with not a single wrinkle. However, unlike Huo Youqiao’s style of wearing, he looked a bit reckless, with one button unbuttoned and the shirt inside unbuttoned up to three buttons, exposing his collarbone.

Ye Zhi helped him take off his jacket.

“Go upstairs.”

Upon hearing this command, Ye Zhi stiffened again, and his slender figure seemed to sway as if made of lead. He waited until his husband’s footsteps faded away before slowly following him upstairs.

The old mansion was very spacious, with a built-up area of ​​more than five hundred square meters. The second floor had a circular corridor, with one side belonging to Huo Youqiao’s master bedroom and the other to Huo Youcheng’s.

As the three met in the corridor, Huo Youqiao gently closed his daughter’s room and turned to see the two coming up.

He glanced at Ye Zhi first. Ye Zhi quickly lowered his head, and Huo Youqiao then looked at his brother, saying seriously, “Since you’re married, you should focus and bear your responsibilities. Don’t act recklessly.”

Huo Youcheng grinned at him, “Brother, I got it.”

Huo Youqiao nodded and turned into his bedroom.

Not long after the two doors closed, when Ye Zhi entered the familiar yet unfamiliar space, his heartbeat accelerated, and his legs felt as heavy as lead. Huo Youcheng lazily sat on the sofa by the window. He raised his chin at Ye Zhi with a smirk, “You have half an hour.”

Ye Zhi pursed his lips and struggled for a few seconds before silently helping the man hang up his suit jacket and then went into the bathroom.

Male betas don’t have a specialized passage for sex, so during intercourse, only anal sex is possible. The reproductive cavity in the colon is usually closed and cannot be easily opened, making “clean” intercourse impossible. In such cases, it is necessary to clean the intestines before intercourse.

Ye Zhi wasn’t very skilled in this matter. After all, they had rarely done it over the past five years. He naturally preferred bonding with his partner, which was hard for betas to accept.

And Huo Youcheng not only disliked him because he was a beta, but also because of the many past grievances, so the times they touched each other were very few.

Every time, rather than making love, it was more like one-sided venting.

Despite knowing that he would be subjected to violence later, Ye Zhi didn’t have the will to resist. Instead, he cleaned his body as thoroughly as possible and tried to slightly dilate himself before the time was up, then put on a bathrobe and walked out.

Huo Youcheng was flipping through his phone, his brows furrowed with impatience. He didn’t look up even when he heard footsteps. Only after Ye Zhi stood in front of him for nearly ten minutes did he turn off the screen and look up at him.

Ye Zhi was very fair, with porcelain-like skin without any flaws, except for a small black mole under his right earlobe. However, compared to the beautiful, he was much inferior, and his expression was not weak but timid, which was annoying to look at.

When Huo Youcheng stood up, he was nearly a head taller than Ye Zhi, exuding an overwhelming pressure. As he walked towards Ye Zhi, the latter instinctively took a step back, causing Huo Youcheng to smile, “Afraid of me?”
