"So, is it dangerous or not?!" Ian asked again, facing Hanlu. Now that all their secrets were revealed, Ian wanted to know how Veronica Chime was still standing in glory. Even though Ian ignored the women Hanlu was dating, Ian could not deny that he didn't like Veronica Chime for the sole purpose that the woman was clearly just using Hanlu to feed her fame.
Everyone knows she's acting like a gold digger but couldn't say something because Hanlu was surprisingly still with her despite how high maintenance she was.
"We still don't know yet. The enemy hasn't shown himself so Laotian asked me to play along with her for a month because he didn't want a reckless all-out war with an unknown enemy." Hanlu replied with a sigh, thinking about it made him a little upset that he was made as a sacrifice. If he listened to his older brother, he would not have been able to get Ian back.
"I would never have got you back if I listened to him," Hanlu mumbled and cupped Ian's cheeks. He was really thankful to Tian Zi this time.
"You're right. After a month and so, I would have moved on from you." Ian teased, causing Hanlu to pout and suddenly pulled his lover into a tight hug.
"I would never let you forget me. I could just marry you now so you won't have an excuse to escape from me." Hanlu said, suddenly bringing Ian into a deep thought. He didn't respond for a bit before he finally gazed at the man in front to him. After these past days of falsely having the impression that Hanlu was going to marry a different woman, his heart ached so much that he didn't want that to happen again.
He would rather die than seeing the man he loves with someone else. Even though he loved Lan so much, these past days, Ian was genuinely thinking of dying instead. He was out of his mind. He couldn't think straight. He kept convincing himself to forget Hanlu because he's having another kid with someone else but he couldn't.
He even thought he was hallucinating Hanlu being with him and slept with Henry. Thankfully, Hanlu looked for him.
Now that he knew everything, knowing the whole truth had finally set him free. He didn't want to keep his emotions anymore. For once he wants to indulge himself. He wants to be happy. Drawing away from his thought, Ian once again looked at Hanlu with so much love and trust. He finally decided to give himself fully to the man in front of him.
"Then let's go?! I want to marry you too." Ian suddenly responds, catching Hanlu off guard. His eyes quickly went wide and his mouth dropped open in pure shock.
"W-w-what?!" Hanlu stuttered thinking maybe he was hearing things.
"Let's get married now. I wouldn't mind. Just so if you're forced to falsely marry Veronica, you'll be assured that it wouldn't be valid since you're already married to me." Ian nodded and even gave a reason when in fact, he really just wanted to marry Hanlu. He was afraid that if he let this opportunity pass, he would regret it in the future.
He wants so badly to hold his marriage control with Hanlu, he didn't care if he sounded desperate. He just really didn't want to experience the pain he just went through again.
"I-Ian, a-are you still thinking of this as a dream. This is reality." Hanlu still couldn't believe Ian said what he just said. "I'll really marry you if you keep saying this," Hanlu added holding his chest as if his heart would jump off his chest. Ian saying such pleasant words made his heart go crazy.
"Luu, seriously?!! I already told you I will marry you!" Ian glared this time and pinch his lover's side so hard Hanlu moaned in pain as he squirms in the tub.
"Ow ow ow, it hurts!" Hanlu moaned, snatching Ian's fingers away. He then quickly pulled him to his chest.
"No backsies!" Hanlu whispered.
"Hmmm,"
"Then we must finish now and prepare," Hanlu announced excitedly, as soon as their bodies separated, Hanlu lifted Ian on his arms and got off of the tub. They quickly dried themselves, they each looked for suitable attire and Ian was surprised to discover that the clothes in his walk-in closet were not only his size but there was also size that fits Hanlu. It's as if it was prepared for Hanlu himself.
"Have you been to this mansion before?" Ian asked looking at the one corner where all the clothes hanging were clearly bigger than his frame.
"No, it was my first time here. I even bought the mansion next door." Hanlu revealed as he wore his clothes. It was not a surprise to him that the closet had clothes that fit his size since Henry was his childhood friend and he most probably thought he would soon find Ian if he was not in love with Veronica.
However, despite this, Hanlu was still upset that Henry got to live with Ian for days instead of him. Hanlu was jealous. He had never once stayed overnight in Ian's house. Even in the hotels or his private mansions, Ian would always leave after they did it. He would never lay on the bed beside him. Stay-over for the night. Hanlu had never experienced that and now Henry had beat him to it. Unforgivable!!!
"What?! That three-story modern mansion?! What the fuck are you thinking? I heard that's freaking more than 40 million dollars!!"
"Yeah, but I had no choice. I had to buy it if I wanted to stay close to you and Lan." Hanlu mumbled about being scolded by Ian about spending again.
"Since when did you start living there?"
"Last night." Hanlu innocently replied.
"Then give it back! Give it back now Luu! You're wasting too much money on useless things again. I wouldn't mind if you really needed such a house but clearly that wasn't even your taste and it's too big for you. Very expensive to maintain as well." Ian scolded. Even though Hanlu had a mine full of gold, it was not rational to buy properties he wouldn't even bother to look at.
"But I already said, my assistant would come today and settle the payments. By now he would have settled it already." Hanlu reasoned out. His assistant was a busy body, he did his job pretty quickly so he was sure everything was settled by now.
"Okay, then just sell back. I don't care." Ian replied, sighing.
"Okay. Okay. Just don't get angry. We're getting married, we shouldn't think of irrelevant topics right now, Okay?" Hanlu cooed and quickly massaged Ian's shoulders. Ian quickly understood and nodded. Soon, they finally decided to go out of the room to meet everyone. Both walked down the stairs holding hands and as soon as they reached the end, Lan quickly jumped on both their arms crying.
*Cries* "Mommy and Daddy, took so long. Lan was worried." Lan mumbled now burying his face against Ian while his hand held Hanlu. Seeing this, Hanlu smiled helplessly and lifted Lan on his arms.
"Sorry, Mommy and Daddy made our baby worried but guess what," Hanlu cheered. Lan was silent at first trying to calm down. He wiped his tears dry and soon asked his father, "What?"
"Well, first of all, Mommy is now okay. He won't get sick anymore." Hanlu revealed which made Lan so happy as he looked at his mother who nodded to him in confirmation. Besides, Ian wasn't really sick, his body was just desperate for its pair.
"Really?! Mommy won't get sick anymore?" Lan confirmed again and started crying in joy.
"Yes, baby. I'm really sorry for worrying you so much. Mommy will spoil you from now on, okay?" Ian replied with a doting smile. How could he leave his precious Lan alone for days?! When he was intoxicated, he completely forgot Lan, and now he's feeling guilty. He was such a bad mother.
"hmmm, It's okay as long as mommy doesn't get sick anymore." Lan shakes his head and says instead. He didn't care if he doesn't spoil him as long as he gets to see his mommy every day. Lan missed him so much.
"Aww, my baby is so mature." Ian quickly hugged Lan, preventing his tears from falling. Lan was such a good kid.
"Of course he's my son," Hanlu said proudly and rubbed Lan's head. Ian only rolled his eyes and thought, 'Even your son is more mature than you.'
"Is mommy and daddy okay now?" Lan asked, noticing the two seemed close. He even remembered the two walking down the stairs holding hands. He had never seen the two like that before, they were secretly fighting.
Hanlu and Ian looked at each other before they looked again at Lan with Hanlu having a huge grin and Ian blushing.
"Hmmm, actually. Mommy and Daddy will go marry today." Hanlu revealed, Lan didn't react at first but when the words finally sunk in, Lan had his eyes open wide.
"Really!? Really mommy?! Is mommy really going to marry Daddy today?" Lan squealed excitedly, squirming on Hanlu's arms. His mind is already going wild. He's finally going to have a real daddy time. They will live together in the same house, eat together, watch tv together, go to a family day at school together, go to groceries together, and go to an amusement park together. Lan was obviously very excited.
"Yes, buddy. I'm marrying mommy today so he won't be able to give me excuses in the future." Hanlu answered after Ian nodded to his son still blushing. As the three continued to chat at the end of the stairs, Henry finally walked out of his spot which he was forced to stay in because he didn't want to disturb their reunion.
"Ahh, now I have to find a new test tube. It was going so smoothly." Henry mentioned and leisurely sat on the couch. He purposely made his voice louder so the two could hear him and he was successful as Hanlu's face turned dark hearing his voice.
Henry looked at Hanlu's dark expression and he rolled his eyes internally. "Relax, he's yours. I was never interested in a bonded Omega." Henry said but Hanlu was not convinced remembering what he saw last night with the shadows.
Hanlu quickly passes Lan to Ian and steps forward a little so his son won't see his expression. "Not interested?! Don't make me stupid you nerd. I saw you by the window last night. Y-You were k-kissing." Hanlu revealed his tune with more malice. Surely, he forced Ian and suddenly kissed him cause Ian would never kiss a different man.
Hearing what Hanlu said, Ian had his heart skip a beat. 'Fuck!' he could still remember what happened last night. He was suddenly running a fever and then he suddenly thought of kissing Henry. Yes, he was crazy to even think that but last night he was desperate to get Hanlu out of his mind.
Ian begged Henry to kiss him but Henry didn't, Ian was suddenly feeling dizzy and so Henry caught him. Nothing happened between them and instead, Henry laid him to the bed. That's why when he woke up earlier, he immediately thought it was Henry that he had sex with. His consciousness was going in and out due to the fever so everything mixed up in his mind. He also didn't expect Hanlu would really come.
Ian looked at Hanlu and then to the unmoved Henry, his heart quickly caught up a pace. He didn't have the courage to speak out. Hanlu was a scary man when jealous.
"Hah! I wished I kissed him. But unfortunately, nothing like that happened. Well if you came a day later maybe I would really have." Henry replied with a laugh. Ian was shocked to hear what he said but he was secretly thankful.
"Liar. I saw you two. The shadows." Hanlu insisted. Remembering the blurry images he had seen last night.
"Aren't you just drunk?! Ask your wife now," Henry said, giving up. The way Henry said it, he sounded as if he was saying the truth. But he wouldn't dare ask Ian, he was afraid he would get angry and refused to marry him again.
"Luu, we didn't kiss. Henry is just a friend." Ian suddenly said that Hanlu abruptly turned to face him. He thought for a second and wondered maybe he was really just drunk and was hallucinating the shadows.
"Hmmm, yeah daddy. Mommy won't kiss anyone aside daddy." Lan said that pacified all three adults especially Ian's fast-beating heart.
