Bab 15: This Sun Xia Is Too Petty
"Wow, I was blind. Who would have thought that such an angelic face was that scheming?" Duan Jinhai wiped the nonexistent sweat on his forehead. His skin crawled and was covered in goosebumps as he learned that she harmed and intended to harm two of his close friends.
"I told you so. Look at what kind of people they are first, not their face." Yongliang sipped on orange juice as he leisurely leaned back on the sturdy chest behind him.
They were at Duan Jinhai's luxury apartment as they watched the news.
"Are you gonna press charges? This offense is not light." From accusing and staging an assault to attempted sexual assault, she would receive massive fines and her reputation was in the gutter. If the charges were successful, she could even spend at least 3 to 5 years in prison.
"What do you think, baby?" Ren Jian tightened his hold on Yongliang's waist. He leaned forward to plant a kiss on his cheek.
"To be honest, I don't want to care about her anymore. With her dream of being a top actress shattered, she might as well be good as dead." He also pondered for a while. His nature was not vindictive even if he had lived many lives of misery and witnessed many deaths. There were still some moral principles that he still tried to uphold to not go crazy. As long as they did not cause him and others' deaths, then he would be merciful, but their life in the future would not be smooth.
"I will do whatever you want." Even though Ren Jian was not satisfied with Yongliang's decision, she dared to touch his love after all, he did not voice his objection.
Ren Jian had already informed him that the plot cracked already the moment they... had sex. According to the plot, the one who had sex with Ren Jian would always be his partner, it was Sun Xia and now it became him. The day Sun Xia fell down from heaven was the day it completely collapsed.
The energy could be slowly absorbed while living his life in this world. It might backfire if he took more than he could handle.
Yongliang was happy now so he chose to spend this lifetime with Ren Jian.
Yongliang was correct. Her life dream was to become an actress since she was a child. The documentary of the old Film Empress life was too luxurious and glorious, she knew that she needed to have it. So, she was stubborn and tried to get big roles and shortcuts. It became her own downfall. Getting blacklisted left and right, she could not even get a small role to restart her career. All her life, she only knew acting, without it, she only felt despair.
Ren Jian kept tabs on her for a while until he made sure that there were no more underhanded tactics. She only locked herself at an old complex and never left.

[Ara Ara: So then why did the green tea bitch target Lai Yongliang? Answer?]
[Passerby 30: It's not officially announced yet but Ren President and young master Lai have a special relationship. She must have felt threatened because just before he came, she was the one who accompanied him.]
[Peach Blossom Is Blooming: Wow, this Sun Xia is too petty! WAIT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP?!?]
-------------------------------------
Grandma Lai got better just right when the scandal started to die down. He accompanied her for a few days before packing up to go abroad to finish school. The original Yongliang was pursuing a master's degree abroad and it waited for no one.
"No! I will come with you!" A pitiful figure clung to Yongliang's right leg.
"Honey, you can't abandon your company." He sighed and patted the top of the man's head. He knew it would not be easy to go so he could only use his secret move. "I... only want to date a company president!"
Yongliang knew that Ren Jian really spoilt and indulged him. Every request he made would be achieved even if it was nonsense. Such devotion really melted his heart and made him cherish the man more and more. However, to live peacefully in this world, to not be out of sync, he had to continue living as Yongliang.
As expected, it worked, even if there was some reluctance. To reassure the man, Yongliang allowed him to publicize their relationship and Ren Jian happily did so. The internet started to connect the dots about the incidents between Sun Xia, Ren Jian, and Lai Yongliang at that moment.
[The Internet: The love affair of the rich is very scary...]
However, Yongliang did not realize that publicizing their relationship was not enough.
In an ambiance dining room with lit candles and soft music, there were two figure sitting at the table full of food.
"I'm flying tomorrow so I can't drink a lot." The rich red wine was poured into his cup by Ren Jian. Looking at the serene face made Yongliang feel strange. He thought that this iceberg-turn-dog guy would be showing more of his pitiful appearance before he left. Yongliang's eyes turned cold and he scoffed in his heart.
'So this guy successfully captured me so he doesn't feel the chase anymore? Will he find someone when I leave?' Even though Ren Jian might have crossed over this world with him, to Yongliang, they only met for a couple of months. He fell deeply in this short amount of time. What about the guy who had waited for more than 30 years? Wouldn't his love cool down?
"It's ok, baby. I don't want you to pass out too soon either." It was definitely a provocation for what would happen later.
Yongliang just sat there in silence when Ren Jian went to the corner of the room. Did that guy only want to eat his meat? He knew that this body was not the typical beauty standard. Maybe that was that guy's type? Yongliang had been making progress in his gym routine, and even though it was not the same old body before going abroad, he was getting fit.
"Uh..." If that really was the reason, he needed to reconsider their whole relationship.
"Huh?" Yongliang's rounded eyes looked at the soft and adoring smile on Ren Jian's face. A bouquet of tulips was in his hand. He took the bouquet as his eyes traced the figure who kneeled down on one knee. No way...
"Liangliang, I do not mind waiting for you a little bit longer. But I love you dearly and I want to let everyone around you know that I am yours and you are mine. I promise to be with you and love you in this world and the world after that. I am certain that our love can last for an eternity." Ren Jian took out a red square box from his pocket as he held Yongliang's right hand.
"Will you marry me?" Ren Jian's dazzling gaze full of love and expectation met the teary face. Ren Jian laughed and hugged him into his arms."Why do you cry so easily, baby?"
"Hng... w-why are you holding my right hand? I'm not the wife!**" Yongliang's cold face shattered in an instant and was replaced with unexplainable emotions. How did he doubt this man who waited for him for years? His insecurity got the best of him because of his previous experience and he almost poured his blame onto his devoted lover.
"Hahaha, yes, you're my husband. Let's have a ceremony when you are done with your study, ok?" Ren Jian hugged him tighter and let out a low laugh. In this life, he would also be happy with his love.
"Sniff...um, ok." Yongliang wore the ring and admired the beautiful engraving. This was the commitment of a lifetime. As he was looking adoringly at the ring, his head suddenly buzzed. A melody sounded in his head, this melody was warm and full of loving, like a lifetime of happiness.
"Do you know 'You, me, this life'?" He asked.
Ren Jian stood up in surprise. It was a piano piece that Yongliang wrote as Zhu Bolin that described their blissful life together. He carefully asked.
"Did you remember?"
"No... I only remember the piece and nothing else." He sadly shook his head.
He then met with a deep kiss full of longing. His body relaxed and his arms hugged the other's neck. After his lips got swollen, he finally got to take a breath.
"It's ok even if you don't remember, I will love you and only you."
"... I love you." Yongliang whispered in a small voice. He did it, he said it and he could not take it back. This man would be his and only his forever.
Of course, Ren Jian knew how meaningful that phrase was to Yongliang so he felt incredibly loved. He picked up Yongliang and walked to the bedroom. He whispered into Yongliang's ears.
"You're flying tomorrow so no time to waste." He then licked at the red earlobe.
Instead of responding, Yongliang just hugged the man's neck tighter. That night, sounds of moans and gasps expressed their yearning for each other. The next afternoon, Yongliang took the flight.
**They say that the one in charge of the household (wife) wears the ring on the right hand and the husband wears it on the left.
