chapter 5-
Plan Your Wedding

"So let me show you, what exactly a warning is."

When was it that Xiao Zhan became so impulsive? He knew that the Young Wang was fuming at that moment and still, still he went on with his rant. Now, the question is, how the hell is he supposed to get out of this?!?!

Well, Wang Yibo can't kill him, true, but who knows if he loses some bones?

Surprisingly, Yibo had no such intentions. Even he didn't know why was he dragging the manager with him when the fault was all his grandfather's but maybe his anger on the moment was too much for him to think rationally. He didn't even realise when he subconsciously pushed Xiao Zhan inside a random room and slammed the doors shut. The room was rather dark but clean, maybe some unused room of the mansion.

"What the- "

Zhan cursed under his breath when he felt a sharp pain across his arm. The Young wang slammed him against that wall and was grabbing his arms rather roughly but Hey! Atleast he is still not dead.

"You- Why are you?!"

Xiao Zhan tried to push Yibo away but the other didn't move a bit. The cold gaze filled with anger and hatred pierced through Xiao Zhan's soul as the Wang gritted his teeth in anger. Why was he even angry at him? He did nothing. Even Yibo had this thought in his mind but no matter what, he just can't feel any less angry at Xiao Zhan. It was as if his whole existence was triggering him, testing his patience, making him want to break something. What was the reason though? Even Yibo didn't know. Maybe just because he thought that Xiao Zhan wasn't someone brave enough to go against him or rather because it was the first time that some random guy did something that Yibo clearly warned him not to.

"Y-you.."

"What happened, manager? Cat got your tongue?! Won't sprout shit anymore? I clearly told you to stay away and let me do what I want but you? All because of what? tryna play all hero?! If you think that the old man will save you from me, you are Wrong! You get it? I can do anything I want. I AM WANG YIBO for fuck sake!"

"I don't fucking care! I already told you that My only concern is my company. The Name Xiao- you keep it out of your bullshit, I won't get involved with you."

Wang Yibo gave in a humorless laughter.

"Who are you kidding manager? You really want me to believe it! Just tell me your price already. I can give you more than that old man is paying you." Wang Yibo said nonchalantly as he eyed Zhan from head to toe as if he was calculating something.

"Excuse me! What do you mean by that Mr.Wang?!"

"Oh? Still trying to play innocent,
I see. So let me elaborate it for you. How much money do you want to drop on your knees as my slave? Drop your price Xiao, the amount you want to be bribed at or should I say- The amount I can throw on your fucking face so that you remove that fake facade of being innocent little shit. I can pay you more than him. Demand as much as you can. I can shower you with anything-"

"Wang Corporations." Yibo was interrupted when Xiao Zhan replied.

"What?"

"You told me to drop my price Mr.Wang didn't you? But guess what, your budget is rather low. But since you said I should Demand my wish, I guess your little estate will work as the down payment. For installments, You can come and serve me as my slave, Or maybe you can be my driver or maybe-"

"Shut The Fuck Up!"

Yibo eyes turned angry red at those words. He didn't expected the nerdy manager to have such guts. The insult that just shattered his ego was breaking that last straw of sanity he held to keep calm.

"Why?" Zhan continued.

"You wanted to buy me. Bribe me which can ruin my company and my family's name. So why Can't I demand for yours? Sell me that Wang Corporation of yours, oh wait! It isn't even yours. You are nothing but a rich kid mooching off his parents money. You have nothing of your own and you wanted to buy me?! Don't make me laugh. Give me what I demanded for but if you can't, then be a good mama's boy and marry to whoever the fuck your family wants you to! I don't give a damn!"

"You!"

Wang Yibo clutched harder and the pain in Zhan's arms was getting unbearable. But there is no way he will give in to this fucker.

"Stay pissed. I don't care. You act all mighty in front of everyone but I know you are just a scaredy cat."

At this point, Yibo wasn't even listening to anything. The others words kept going round and round in his head. 'It isn't even yours' ' You are nothing on your own' these words were piercing his head like spears. His anger was rising every second but he didn't want to become him. No, No matter what, he will never become him. He has to calm down. Fucking calm down! He has to keep his sanity and not go all rampant on the Xiao. No, he has to stay calm.

Trying to stay put, Yibo didn't pay attention to how hard his grip became.

He shut his eyes trying to meditate but unfortunately, all his anger were focused on his hands and fingers. His nails were literally digging inside the other's flesh, his nerves all on show as his hands clutched hard on Zhan. The other hissed in pain but it was low enough to get ignored by the Wang. There is no way Xiao Zhan will give in to him.

"L-leave me."

He whispered slowly as all the pain gushed over his shoulders through the nerves. It was becoming unbearable, the area that Yibo held was slowly getting numb.

"Keep your mouth shut if you don't want me to do something bad. I am trying really hard to stay calm Xiao. Don't make me do something we both may regret." Yibo said, eyes still closed as his brows were frowned hard trying to concentrate.

"I-i don't fucking c-care!"

And with whatever strength he had, Xiao Zhan pushed Wang Yibo away from his body. The Wang Heir stumbled back by few steps but his patience broke. He opened his eyes in a jolt and almost punched Zhan but the sight was rather irksome.

The owner tried hard to act strong but his body can't hide it for much time and so, when Wang Yibo faced Zhan, he saw blood patches on his peach shaded shirt, looking rather fresh.

"What the fuck!?"

Yibo really didn't understand anything at the first glance as he cursed under his breath. He was trying to focus on what was going on but his system collapsed when instead stopping the blood, fat tear drops started falling from the manager's big doe eyes.

Why is this dimwit crying?

"H-hey! Why are you crying-?"

That's when it hit him, seeing Xiao Zhan clutching on his arm in pain.

The strain in his arms was paining his entire torso. He felt like someone tore his arms away from the socket. It hurt like hell. Also, the room being empty and rather dim gave him another sense of danger. Xiao Zhan wasn't phobic to dark but it just made him uncomfortable.

"Y-you asshole."

Xiao Zhan still cursed at the Wang Heir all while he hissed alongside. He still wasn't ready to give in. So what if he cried? It doesn't makes him any weaker.

The Young Wang was dead silent for few seconds, it was his first time seeing someone cry. Usually, he kills them before they shed a tear. It's exhausting and confusing to see someone cry according to him.

But then he did what Xiao Zhan would have least expected.

Wang Yibo walked towards him, ripped his shirt off with his single hand and threw him up on his shoulder, holding him like a sack of potatoes.

"WHAT THE FUCK! Put Me Down RIGHT NOW!"

"Shut up or I'll throw you!"

What the fuck just happened to this young monster- I mean young master Wang? Has he some few screws loose up his head?! Instead of feeling sorry for his animalistic behaviour, he is treating me shitter than before?! Zhan thought but his whining went unanswered as Yibo ignored all his screams and settled on a small chair that was located at the very corner of that room.

Zhan kept on wiggling and resisting but the Wang was rather strong. Plus, to his bad luck, a maid suddenly opened the doors and saw them in this not so innocent position and gasped.

She had her mouth hung open but immediately lowered her head as Wang Yibo glared her. She bowed in apology and left but who knows why she giggled?

Xiao Zhan panicked really hard when that lady saw him. No matter what Zhan did like, pinching Yibo's neck, pushing and slapping his back, pulling his hairs on even biting his shoulders, Yibo remained unfazed.

"You- what the hell are you doing to me? Leave me right now! Ah- My clothes, that woman saw me- it's embarassing! Fuck!" Xiao Zhan's mind was not able to frame complete sentences as multiple thoughts were hovering him.

It was not like he was actually naked. He had his black vest on inside his shirt, like always, and currently he was still in it but that doesn't gives right to this bastard Wang to rip off his shirt! It was Gucci!

Yibo sighed and carefully put Xiao Zhan on the chair and went to find a white box from a drawer present next to the bed.

"What-"

Xiao Zhan was soon hovered by Yibo who locked his legs with his own and pinned him by his wrists.

"Shh. Don't move. It will hurt a bit but endure it."

Wang Yibo was acting totally out of character in which Xiao Zhan portrayed him. The young Wang was suppose to act all bitchy, like an arrogant bastard who was just shouting at him few moments earlier. But what the fuck was with this character? Why can't Zhan push him away when Yibo whispered to him in his ocean deep voice?

What the heck just happened to him?

Yibo lifted Zhan's chin to make the other face him. "Tsk manager."

The Young Wang slowly caressed his cheeks to which Zhan flinched a bit but was transfixed at his place in shock. Yibo was suddenly so soft with him like he didn't just forcefully dragged him and humiliated him earlier.

The way Yibo touched his cheeks with the back of his fingers, slowly and carefully not actually touching him but at the same time, creating goosebumps all over Zhan's body.

But was his cheek hurt? He doesn't thinks so.

Actually, Yibo did it to calm Xiao Zhan but the other was only panicking more.Yibo's eyes finally fell on the scratched red skin of Zhan's arm who was still very much dazed. It wasn't a cut but a minor scratch. The Xiao had a sensitive skin.

"W-what are you doing?!"

Zhan slightly screamed when Wang Yibo held his slightly bruised arm and carefully caressed the scratched skin.

"Shit, It must be hurting." Yibo mumbled.

"No, Why would it moron? Haha! ARE YOU STUPID?! Ofcourse it is hurting you bastard! You're the one who hurt me! How are you not in a fucking cage with how beastly your personality is? Are you sure you are not some werewolf who goes all bizarre on a full moon or some shit like that?" Zhan jerked his hand away and tried to push away Yibo but the Wang was really stiff.

Rather, Yibo tsked and pinned Zhan again, this time holding his both hands with his one up on his head.

"You are really a petal, huh? But that mouth! How have you not died yet with how unruly your language is?! You are really making me feel good for bruising you." Wang Yibo said with a scoff. He slowly caressed the affected area with his fingertips But the latter swerved his face away it away in anger.

"Don't you dare touch me! I have enough of you. I won't tolerate any of this anymore. You are really just a-"

"Asshole? Say something new manager. Your insults are getting boring. At this point, I don't even think you know my real name. Oh wait! You do. You screamed it just few minutes before, in my maner where no one calls me by it. You can get sued for it, you know?" Ofcourse, Wang Yibo was making his fun as he dipped a cotton swap in antiseptic liquid and slowly treated the scratched skin.

"What? I hurt you, so it's even if I treat your wound no?"

Wang Yibo said when he saw Zhan looking at his face in with a judgemental look. His lips parted a bit but then he shut it.

"You need help. Serious Help." Xiao Zhan said in a soft tone for the first time with the Wang Heir as he let the other apply the ointment to his scratch.

"Maybe I do." Yibo smirked suddenly, alerting Xiao Zhan. He is thinking something crooked again.

And yes, he was.

Yibo neared towards Zhan' face and locked his eyes with him.

"Maybe, you can help me. With some private sessions, if you know what I mean."

Wang Yibo's voice suddenly got low by an octave. His hands that held Zhan's wrists slowly moved to his waist and pulled him near his chest.

"W-what are you doing-"

"I thought you were gay? Didn't you told me earlier? Oh no- You shouted that earlier." with that said, Yibo approached Xiao Zhan's lips. The other panicked and quickly put his hand on Yibo's mouth.

"You. are. Not. My. Type. a-and I am also not your type!"

Xiao Zhan tried to look scary, half lidded his eyes and gave his best glare but it only made the Young Wang do something more bold. The other's reactions was amusing to him so he wanted to atleast give him something unexpected.

Yibo licked his hand making Xiao Zhan immediately take it back in disgust. He looked at his hand as if it was something foreign and then to Yibo who made a pout towards him with closed eyes, slowing approaching. Xiao Zhan didn't think twice before pushing Wang Yibo enough for him to land on his hip and did the thing he excels in.

Run.

He ran from that room never looking back again. His heart beating fast and mind clouded with thousands of thoughts as he heard Yibo laughing his ass off at his back

"Don't interfere with my things again manager or your hand won't be the only thing I will lick!"

"Y-you! Shameless Asshole!"

Zhoucheng was tired with everything that was going around him. He was already not positive of getting involved with the Wangs and now, The Young master of the Wang Family, the soon to be groom, was not a bit cooperative. Plus, his idiot brother was acting strange. The workers kept complaining every second about how they don't want to prepare things for Wang Yibo, necessary for tomorrow's media conference.

"Cheng-ge! I am telling you that Young Master Wang is a devil. He hides his horns but I bet he drinks blood at night! That handsome monster, dare he disrespect our Zhan gege. Pretty bastard!"

Yubin stomped his feet in anger. The workers all agreed silently but Jingyi sighed, annoyed.

"That's the tenth time you're saying that brat! And atleast take a side, will ya? Either compliment him or curse him. What's with that parabolic swinging? No actually, Stop this nonsense already and get to work. If Zhan gets to know we are slacking behind his back, he will faint with trauma due to his perfectionist antics."

"You- Demon lady supporting one of her kind! And I am not complementing him but, he is handsome so I can't call him ugly now, right? You tell Cheng-ge, Am I not being a balanced back bitcher?!" Yubin asked in all seriousness but instead got a smack on his head.

"Stop this fuckery already! Instead of denying your work. Do what you all are assigned with, I am going to check on Xiao Zhan first."

The workers all nodded, a little hesitant, but since they can't go against their supervisor, they reluctantly started doing their work. Yubin and Jingyi kept bickering while Zhoucheng left the room.

He pulled out his from his pocket and dialled a contact named- Idiot specs.

"Where the fuck are you?!"

"Don't shout A-cheng. I am- ah somewhere- Yeah"

"Some-what? What is that suppose to mean?! Tell me where the hell are you Zhan!" The receiver sighed tiredly before replying.

"I had an argument with Wang Yibo. Then I ran away from him but now, I don't know where I am. God A-cheng ! This place is such a puzzle!"

"Dumb! Wait there, Let me ask someone for help. Be on line yeah?"

"Hmm. Come soon brother and ah- bring me a shirt."

"Wait- SHIRT? DID THAT FUCKER DO SOMETHING TO YOU-"

"Ah- No. I just kind of tore my shirt by getting snubbed on a small bail of the door knob. Don't ask questions now. And come fast, bye!"

Xiao Zhan cut the call unable to lie anymore. Zhoucheng, on the other hand,decided to look for help but to whom exactly? He raced his mind and only a certain face came up his mind.

I really don't want to but- I don't have other option.

»»

"Zhoucheng!? Wait you-"

"I need your help, Mr. Wang."

Wang Haikuan was surprised to spot the young supervisor in front of his office but soon his face gloomed as the other addresses him so sternly. But he can understand the sour tone behind his voice.

Your brother is a stupid bastard! How can't I expect you to be the same?

Zhoucheng, You can curse me but don't say such thing for about Yibo. I genuinely came here to apologise, no ill intentions.

I don't want to hear anything and I don't care. So please don't waste your time and leave! He is your brother, afterall. I shouldn't have expect anything good.

Well, eventually they fought. Or should I say, Zhoucheng shouted and Haikuan was trying to calm him down. At the end, The Wang gave up and went back to his room not before telling Zhoucheng that he can always talk to him if he needs his help and told him where his home office is.

"My Brother is lost." Zhoucheng said in a low, worried tone.

"Your brother?! Who?"

Zhoucheng mentally slapped himself for slipping off in the heat of moment. He just called Zhan his brother when they clearly are just work colleagues in public's eyes.

"I mean- Xiao Zhan is lost. I treat him like a brother so it just slipped from my tongue."

"Oh? Mr.Xiao? Did he go out somewhere to get lost?!" Haikuan panicked.

"Tch- No! He lost in this mansion of yours. Now help me find him or else I would break you- no I mean I'll break someone's legs!"

Haikuan almost laughed but swallowed it in because if he laugh now, Zhoucheng will for sure hate him more. He was glad knowing that even in anger, Zhoucheng reached our to him first and that Xiao Zhan was just like his brother.

So, he agreed in helping. Within ten minutes, they both found Xiao Zhan who fell asleep in a corner while waiting for his brother.

"God! This idiot- and why the hell he is not wearing his shirt? Ah- it got ripped. Shit, the weather's still cold right now. And this idiot- ugh!"

Zhoucheng cursed at the Xiao on the floor but still picked him up like a baby in his arms.

"Thank you and uhm- Sorry for earlier."

He immediately ran away saying that to Haikuan who was still processing. Did the angry lotus just apologised to him? Well, It could count as a progress right?

Haikuan sighed in contentment,
Fuck! He's cute.

The tiring day in the Wang Mansion was finally over. A new day will begin with rays of sunshine, birds chirping and Xiao Zhan's false expectations of everything going perfect.

"The media conference will begin soon. We have to wait for Mr.Wang Yibo."

The head journalist said as murmurs kept rising more and more in the crowd of the reporters. They were waiting for two hours now and still, The Wang Yibo didn't show up. Zhou lusi came almost an hour ago,, basically as a distraction for the impatient crowd, but it only made the reporters go more gossiping.

'Why is Ms.Lusi alone? Wasn't she suppose to come along with her future husband? Alas! Arrange marriages and it's complications. Is this marriage with Young Wang's will? Why the fuck it doesn't feels like that haha! When will Wang Yibo come? Damn, It's sweaty in here. We should be the first to click Mr.Yibo!'

"Hello everyone." Wang Haikuan said with a bow and gave his best smile, making the crowd go flashing lights.

"Thank you for your patience everyone, Young Wang would join you soon. You all will be patient until then right?!" Haikuan knew what he was doing. That's his impact on almost everyone he meets. The crowd nodded like obedient children, still dazed with his eye to eye smile.

"We would appreciate that."

HaiKuan bowed again before he left. On his way he gave Lusi a stress ball as she seemed a little bit anxious. The lady showed gratitude with mouthing

"Thank you, Haikuan-ge."

Wang Haikuan was never salty with people but seeing how his brother's not wanted future wife called him as they are close, irritated him a bit.

"It's okay, Ms.Lusi." HaiKuan left saying that. He called Yibo but as always, his phone was not answered.

"I can only hope that Bo and Mr. Xiao got along well."

»»

"You, shut up!"

"Why should I? Nerdy manager! You dimwit four eyes!"

"And what about you? Over-sized Idiot! Grown up asshole! Childish Adult!" Xiao zhan said as he intentionally pulled one of the necklaces present around Yibo's neck.

"Ow- You!"

Yibo held him by his collar but the Xiao looked unbothered. He carelessly smacked Yibo's hand away and then continued what he was doing earlier; Helping the Young Wang with his get up.

"Don't talk. Your voice is irritating."

"Yeah? And your voice drips of honey right?" Yibo sounded sarcastic but Xiao Zhan, instead of taking the offence, counterattack with a grin.

"Ofcourse! Is that the reason why you piss me so much? Love this voice eh? I don't do autographs though."

Yibo didn't replied just poked his inner cheek with his tongue and rolled his eyes in annoyance. The Xiao was really acting bold today. He was retorting to all his insults with double the amount of sarcasm, making Yibo speechless.

Now, he regrets asking for Zhan to assist him again.

"..and, Done!"

Xiao Zhan clapped his hands in satisfaction as he was finally able to do the make over of Wang Yibo which he was trying hard to for almost twenty minutes.

"Masterpiece! What should I name it? Jewels on a retard?!"

Zhan looked at the Young Wang to tease him but surprisingly, Yibo was actually at his face. Their eyes met, the smug smile slowing faded from Xiao Zhan's face. He was seeing Wang Yibo again, but it was only the second time he was paying keen attention to that face.

The Young Wang was truly mesmerizing. Especially, his dark brown eyes which are generally half lidded low but at this moment, they were sharp and full. Wang Yibo was clearly staring at Xiao Zhan and he didn't even care a bit about the ten workers around them.

His eyes fell on Zhan's lower lip and then, a cute mole present under it.

"I-it's done-" Xiao Zhan tried to lessen the tension around them but became tight lipped when Yibo suddenly caressed his mole.

"W-what?"

"Its- " Yibo looked in his eyes again, bent towards his ears and whispered in a dangerously low voice.

"...Ugly."

Xiao Zhan stood shocked as he saw the Wang leaving with a smirk of victory on his face. What did he say? Ugly? That's the only thing Xiao Zhan never heard about himself. Well, he thinks that he looks average but...Ugly?

Wang Yibo, that cunt!

»»

Xiao Zhan reached the media conference and took his position alongside Zhoucheng. The younger asked him as if Wang Yibo made him mad but Zhan just replied with a no. It's their personal battle afterall. Whining to his brother like that will make him look like a loser.

"GoodMorning, Mr. Xiao."

It was Wang Haikuan who approached the duo. Xiao Zhan bowed to him in return as the Wang offered him a glass of water, just to start a conversation obviously.

"Was everything- okay?" Wow, Haikuan never thought he will address his brother as a thing but here we go with all the guilt.

"Ah- Don't worry Mr. Wang. It was alright. He will be here soon."

Eventhough, Xiao Zhan completely hated Wang Yibo for some reason, he wasn't angry at him anymore. Well, the day before their first encounter, Xiao Zhan did some research on the Young Master of the Wangs. He saw all kind of rumours revolving around the Wang Heir but his focus was caught by an anonymous comment posted by an inactive user.

️@/Anonymous

"You all really think that The Wang Yibo, who decides every single detail in his life, will get himself strangled in a arranged marriage? Haha. Don't make me laugh. He for sure is getting forced into this guys. Remember that announcement from the oldie? He said that Wang Yibo will overtake the company after his marriage. Isn't it fishy? Like from what I know about our Young Wang by stanning him for almost three years, there is no way he won't inform his fans about this beforehand. Plus, let's say even if he didn't, isn't it weird that he is only getting coronated as the CEO, his dream title, after a marriage?! Why is it so rushed?"

Likes- 12k 573 Replies

Although, Xiao Zhan wasn't much interested but that comment did made him feel uneasy. He brushed it off then but as much interactions he had with Wang Yibo, he started feeling some truth hidden in that comment.

There was no doubt that the Young Wang was getting forced into this marriage.

"That's a relief! Mr. Xiao, I wasn't able to apologise to you for my brother's behaviour. It's just- Yibo is not actually like this. He is just being a bit more moody these days."

Haikuan told him with assurance that his brother was not a bad guy to which Xiao Zhan wanted to roll his eyes but didn't do it.

"Moody?! What is he on, periods?" Zhoucheng began with a glint of anger.

"A-cheng! Mr. Wang, I understand your concerns but I will manage. Although, I think you know the reason for his behaviour. Marriage is not something trivial. It's requires mutual acceptance. Don't you think that's not right the case here?"

Xiao Zhan didn't even realise but he accidentally worded his thoughts out. However, Zhoucheng was unable to understand him.

But that was not the case with Haikuan.

His pupils slightly dilated releasing what the Xiao just said. So, he already knows about the whole situation. Or maybe, he guessed it by now. But Xiao Zhan words also confirmed something else.

If he is speaking about it in open, there is no way he is grandfather's pawn.

"Ah- I'm sorry, Mr.Wang. It's just-"

"No- it's alright. I am glad to see that atleast you can read the room, Mr. Xiao. That reliefs me a lot, trust me on that. I will try that Yibo won't try to do something like last night again. I'll take my leave now. Thank you for your time and understanding." And with that Haikuan left the Xiao brothers.

"What were you two even babbling about? Are you sure we living in same dimension because that- was straight nonsense." Zhoucheng made his annoyance evident as he clearly didn't anything among this conversation. Xiao Zhan just waved his hands in a 'No' telling the younger to rest assured.

"Nothing, A-cheng. It was just Mr. Wang apologising. Go, see where that king of slackness Yubin is. I gave him some work to do and he still didn't reported back!"

Hearing that, Zhoucheng forgot everything and went away in fury to find Yubin so that he can scold him. Xiao Zhan just smiled at that, shaking his head at his brother's antics.

It's nothing I can tell you A-cheng. Because I know what Mr.Wang Haikuan feels. Afterall, He is only trying to save his family's image.

It was already half an hour since Xiao Zhan last saw Yibo. What's taking him so long? From what he remembers, Wang Yibo was well dressed when he left him. Zhou Lusi was sitting their alone, how awkward she must be feeling also troubled the Xiao owner. But finally, his worries subsided when he saw Haikuan reach the podium, making at announcement that Yibo will join them soon.

And just as he said, within the next few minutes, He was here.

"Oh my god! Wang Yibo! Wang Yibo is here, everyone attention!"

The media went nuts as soon as they spotted their today's headline; The Young Wang. Media had this special segment after the Wang Heir as they milk highest views under his name. The crowd became active and loud as they saw Wang Yibo approaching the stage where Zhou Lusi was waiting for him.

His face had this tinted glow which screamed, China's It Boy, and even though Wang Yibo looked as bored as always, people drooled at the sight of him.

The Young Wang wasn't in his suits today, rather he wore the brand who, he himself was an ambassador of. He wore a channel's Royal Blue shirt over which, it was complemented with his one of the favourite coat. Initially, he was supposed to wear a suit but Yibo being the troublemaker he is, denied Xiao Zhan for bullying him.

But the latter was too generous today. He let Wang Yibo wear of his choice without much contemplation as it wasn't such a big deal.

Wang Yibo finally took a seat, spaces away from his soon to be bride even though they were given the same couch which obviously didn't go unnoticed by the media.

"Everyone, It's been a while. It's good to see that you all made it safe and healthy."

Wang Yibo addressed the people from the media with a stern expression but Zhou Lusi gave a sweet smile in return. Xiao Zhan, however, was feeling off. Wang Yibo was definitely playful when they last met. They went along well, atleast they didn't bite each other's neck, and he didn't even resist much for this event. He wasn't even playing random tricks to make it frustrating and was rather cool about this then,

why is he glaring at Xiao Zhan with so much anger and hatred, right in the middle of his media conference?

The reporters discussed a bit among themselves and then went on with their questions, according to the order.

"First we would like to congratulate both of you and wish a happy married life. Mr.Wang, what are your plans for future? We would like to know your take at this marriage since you had made no statements about such a big event of your life."

"Nothing. Pretty much same as always."

"Ah- well, Ms.Lusi?"

"For me, honestly it would make a huge difference. A new place, new family, everything would be overwhelming but I hope that the Wangs would except me with love and care. Ofcourse, I would love them too. Haha."

"Mr.Wang, Is the rumour true that after marrying, You would takeover as The CEO of the Wang Corporations?"

"Certainly."

"But what about Mr.Wang Lun? Has he decided to take some other approach for future?"

"..."

"Is Mr.Wang Lun retiring soon?"

"If I didn't say anything earlier, It means that your question was irrelevant with the occasion."

"Oh-ah, I'm sorry."

"Mr.Wang, As we all are aware of how you like to do things your way. Then, Why did you settled for an arranged marriage? Is it a business tactic or family relations?"

"First of all, I am glad that the public is aware of my antics and still accepts me for that. It's good to be independent with your choices. However, I have no will to answer that question."

"huh? Sir- Well, Alright."

"Mr. Wang, how do you see your future with Ms. Zhou Lusi? Do you have anything particular that you like about her?"

"I could have answered that but all I know about her is probably the name. And that's true, vice versa."

"Wait, What? They don't even know each other?!"

Instant whispers begun when the Young Wang not only straightforward denied to answer questions but also confessed to know nothing about his soon to be life partner. The Wangs were started to feel worried. What is Yibo even doing?!

"Mr. Wang, is rumours about you marrying just the sake of your CEO's title true?!"

"Who knows."

"Sir Wang, is the ring incident really just a misconception? It was weird for it to just break like that. Were you angry on the management for-"

"But it wasn't management's fault. I told my driver to bring me some ring. It wasn't important enough for me to personally do it. He did his job, miserably. He is fired now."

"What?!"

"Wang Yibo asked his driver to get his engagement ring? Is this a game?!"

"Sir Wang, do you really mean it?"

"Why will I lie?"

The media murmurs were like forest fire and the Young Wang was certainly the fuel here. His blunt answers were all going live and it just meant that the whole world was seeing how much he unwanted this marriage.

"What the heck?! Master Wang, what's going on? Your grandson is disrespecting my daughter!"

Lu Jianmin said but he was shushed down by Wang Jiang. The old master who was currently observing his grandson was himself angered enough. This brat crossed every limit of disgrace today! His words is tainting his own image.

Can't he see it?

"What's going on?"

Xiao Zhan thought to himself as he saw Wang Yibo getting more and more disrespectful with his answers. He was visibly confused but one thing was sure, this is not going to end well.

Why is no one stopping him?

Xiao Zhan looked towards the Wang Family seeing them all silent at their place. Except for Haikuan, who looked like he wanted to meddle in between but something was stopping him. As if the fate was not in his side, Haikuan met his eyes.

Please, Do something. My brother's image will be as shattered.

As those were the words Haikuan was trying to say to him. What?! What can he do? He is not a family member. He is an outsider and if he interrupted- it will just cause for chaos. But maybe, just because he has felt this helplessness before, he couldn't help but interrupt. However, before he can someone called him out.

"Are you still going to stand like this, Xiao Zhan? Is this not enough?"

It was Wang Yibo.

All the media people suddenly had their eyes on him as Xiao Zhan froze at his place. What?! What was that supposed to mean?

Comfused, Shocked, scared and anxious- Xiao Zhan was having mixed emotions. Everyone was looking at him right now. Even the Wangs and Zhou Lusi's family. His brother wasn't with him, which just made it worse as Wang Yibo stood up from his place.

"Haven't I suffered enough?"

He spoke in a cold yet expressive tone. What was it, this foreign emotion that he tried projecting?! Xiao Zhan can't frame shit right now. More close Wang Yibo was getting towards him, more panicked he was getting.

"Do you really think I would go to such lengths if I didn't mean it?"

Wang Yibo was just in front of him now. The entire media was surrounding the two as the whole air was so tensed that it made Xiao Zhan feel queasy in his gut. No, this is killing me.

"M-Mr. Wang, I don't-"

"You said I am a coward right? I had enough. I will prove it to you, that I was never a coward. Never, when it comes for you."

And with that said, the Young master of Wang Mansion put his lips against the owner of the Xiao Shop, in front of his future wife and in-laws.

Loud gasp sounded somewhere in the background but Xiao Zhan was too stunned to hear anything. The cold touch over his lips was so foreign to him. It didn't move, just touched his gently as if it was a pretence. It was nothing, there were no emotions conveyed. But it was the first time that Xiao Zhan was touched on his lips, that too with another pair. It was his first. But then- why it has to be like this?!?!?

Xiao Zhan wanted to break it.
But it was like his legs went numb. Numerous flashing sounds were evident to his ears but why couldn't he just move himself and break free?

Wang Yibo was kissing him-no, No! It can't be happening!

Xiao Zhan was getting blank in his head, he was feeling dizzy with everything happening. However, his trance broke when he heard a voice.

"YOU MOTHERFUCKER! How Fucking Dare You?!"

Mouth hung open and eyes widen in shock, Zhoucheng was blazing when he saw what was just happening. Without any further thought, he marched towards Wang Yibo, seperated him from his brother, and punched him in his face.

He was raging in anger ready to land another punch until Wang Yibo held his fist.

"YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU HARASS-"

"Your shouting won't change anything. This is the truth Zhoucheng. The dark truth of me and your boss."
Wang Yibo retorted pulling out a brown packet from his pocket. He opened it and threw everything inside it in front of Zhoucheng.

Zhoucheng was shocked. He knelt down and picked it up in pure horror. "I-it can't be-". But it was too real. The album fell from Zhoucheng's hands as few pictures even fell out of it. He looked at his brother, all stunned.

"Z-zhan, of anyone you could have choosen, Why did you date this bastard?"

It was then that Xiao Zhan actually got out of his trance. Everything around him was only now getting clear in his vision. But what he heard was-

"W-WHAT?"

Xiao Zhan immediately picked up few of them and gave them a look. There were dozens of photos of him and Wang Yibo being close, kissing and rather intimate. He break into a cold sweat, eyes turning teary and face becoming red with embarassment.

The pictures looked too real and at the same time, explicit.

Bonus:)

What was all this?! Why him? Why always him? The reporters didn't hesitate to rub salts up his newly cut wounds. As if the constant flashes on him and the pictures that he held in his hand was not enough, the people began openly speak inappropriately about him.

Wang Yibo dating a boy is truly unexpected. I mean, who would have thought the young wang was a homo?

Looks like The Xiao really did hit a jackpot eh? Lucky bastard.

No doubt Wang Yibo is getting married. Afterall, A boy can't run a family. The Wang Bloodline would end like that.

Wang Yibo really played well. Marrying a girl in public and keeping his boytoy in private.

"He just kissed him! It can't be lie!"

"Who would have thought that such a sweet looking boy would actually be Wang Yibo's lover?!

"He doesn't even looks that masculine maybe that's the reason the young wang fell for him?

"Who knows about these homos? The government legalised homosexuality but it's still disgusting for me.

"Bro, You're homophobic. But they look cute though? And hot..Haha."

Xiao Zhan heard all the words that were thrown at him. Boytoy? Lover? No, he wasn't anything like that. Yes, he was gay but he didn't stoop down this low. Why was he getting degraded as such? Xiao Zhan can't control his tears. He looked at Wang Yibo but seeing how the other was looking unfazed and rather proud, Xiao Zhan understood everything.

He did this for revenge. This is nothing but a joke to him.

So, he did what he could. He collected all those photos with teary eyes and tucked them in the same brown packet and ran away from the place.

I hate him! I FUCKING HATE HIM!

»»

Xiao Zhan went to his room and slammed the door shut. These photos were fake, he knew it but how will he prove it when that bastard went ahead enough to Kiss Him in front of everyone?!

No! NO!

His image, his reputation, his event, his respect, his emotions- everything became a fucking joke! Xiao Zhan was feeling nauseous as he isolated himself away from everyone. He was no energy to deal with the people outside, no answer to give. What will he say to the Wangs who entrusted him with their Heir's wedding?! To Ms. Lusi who trusted him, How will he face her after her spouse kissed him in her wedding's occasion?!

No way, he can't bear it.

There were constant calls from his mother and sister. Maybe the news already reached the public. How will he answer his family that he- NO! Xiao Zhan laughed. He laughed at himself, at how pathetic he was. How Disgusting he was in public's eyes to have an affair with a man he was supposed to get married?! How cheap he was to-

The tears didn't stop.Why? Just why?

The day passed just like that Xiao Zhan kept ignoring all the knocks that his workers and Zhoucheng made at his door. He can't face them.

No, he wants to die.

It was already eight in the night and Zhan had nothing since the morning. His door was knocked again but this time, he actually answered. Xiao Zhan was calmed by now but since he still had no guts to show his face to his brother, he told him to just go.

"A-cheng, I don't want to talk right now. Leave me alone."

Knock!

"I am okay. Don't worry leave."

Xiao Zhan was getting irritated when the knocks didn't stop. Since when did Zhoucheng became so immature? He didn't open the doors anyways. Well, not until they were slammed open by a certain someone.

Wang Yibo.

Xiao Zhan raged in anger on seeing the intruder. He got up from the floor and held him from his collar before punching him without any mercy.

"You Dare Show Your Face To Me-"

Xiao Zhan was silenced when a gun was inserted in his mouth.

"Marry me."

"WHAT?! AFTER ALL THAT YOU-! HAVE YOU LOST IT?!? MARRY YOU? NEVER-"

A bullet was shout right next to his head. Xiao Zhan froze. This is definitely not what he expected. If the bullet missed an inch, he would have been dead by now. The Young Wang was a maniac but- Murder?!

"I don't hear No as a reply. Marry me or I'll kill you. So go ahead, plan your wedding Xiao Zhan."
