Chapter 7

Xiao Zhan understood what Wang Yibo was feeling so he denied his question.

“All people know the name of WANYIE Group’s CEO. But not all people know the actual person. I am one of those who doesn’t know you personally.”

“Is that so?” Wang Yibo did not believe him anymore.

“Are you telling me I am a liar? How come I ended up being accused that way?” Xiao Zhan coldly snorted. Playing tactics.

Wang Yibo froze.

Hell, yeah. Why am I the one who’s angry now when I’m the first one who lied?

Kringgg.

Xiao Zhan’s phone on the center table of the living room rang and vibrated so he stood up to take the call.

It was his girlfriend, Kim Chin. With knitted eyebrows, he answered, “Yes?”

Kim Shin on the other side did not notice the irritation in Xiao Zhan’s voice so she happily exclaimed, “Baby I miss you! Can I go to your pad tonight?”

Xiao Zhan never liked her going to his pad. He looked at the time and it was already late.

What will she do here at this time?

To avoid her, he answered, “I’m sorry but I’m not home. Will call you when I go back. Bye.”

“But I’m on my way!” Kim Chin yelled before the call ended.

Xiao Zhan froze for a moment then he ran to the switch and switched off all the lights. Leaving the house very dark.

Wang Yibo shouted, “Hey you! What happened??”

“Shhh. Quiet.” Xiao Zhan locked the door and looked at the glass wall. No signs of someone outside so he walked carefully to the place they were drinking using the flashlight of his cell phone as a torch. He placed the phone on one side leaving the flashlight open for them to have lights.

“What are you doing? Why did you close all the lights?” Wang Yibo could not understand his actions.

“Hiding from my girlfriend, haha,” Xiao Zhan casually answered.

Wang Yibo’s face darkened. He felt annoyed.

“So you have a girlfriend,” it wasn’t a question but a statement.

“What? Can’t I have a girlfriend? Man, I’m a normal man, don’t tell me you don’t have one?” Xiao Zhan almost blurted out that he knew he had a girlfriend and that she was very popular.

Wang Yibo cannot deny it.

Hell yeah, he has Tin Veeh.

“You lied to me, what will you do to compensate for me? Don’t even try to change the topic,” Xiao Zhan teased.

Wang Yibo was at a loss at words for a second. “Compensate you?” He cleared his throat and said, “Tell me how I can pay you. Money is not a problem to me.” But he thought money wasn’t significant at all. They both have money and power, to begin with.

“Do I look like I’m short of money?” Xiao Zhan mocked him.

As he expected, Wang Yibo thought. Haha.

“Then, do you think payment is appropriate for my lies? You don’t need money, nor a house, nor a job. What will I pay you then?” He felt his body swaying a little and felt slightly dizzy, he was drunk.

Xiao Zhan fell into deep thoughts. Wang Yibo was right, he doesn’t need anything. But he wanted him to pay for his lies or else, he would lie again.

“Stay with me for...”

Xiao Zhan’s words paused in the middle when the bright light of a car stopped in front of the gate. His girlfriend knew the gate’s password so he felt uneasy! He quickly took his phone and put it in his pocket.

Out of choices, Xiao Zhan suddenly stood up, grabbed Wang Yibo’s hand, and pulled him to the room Wang Yibo uses.

“Quickly! Let’s hide!” Xiao Zhan whispered with urgency.

“What is your f’cking problem? Can you tell me once?!” Wang Yibo, not knowing what’s going on, was so angry.

Xiao Zhan made sure that the door was locked, then he pulled Wang Yibo to the corner of the room, without opening the lights, of course, it was very dark. He covered Wang Yibo’s mouth and nose with one hand while his other hand hugged him from the back.

Moments later, awkwardness scattered in the air. Wang Yibo could feel the warm body pressing at his back. He could not move away. Xiao Zhan’s grip was too heavy. He could almost smell his breath from behind.

Wang Yibo cursed silently because he actually liked being held that way.

They heard movements from afar, most probably at the front door. There was knocking and a voice calling Xiao Zhan’s name.

Outside the house stood Xiao Zhan’s girlfriend, Kim Chin. She did not believe that Xiao Zhan wasn’t there because she saw the car parked outside. However, the house was dark, and no signs of light and movements inside. Even though, she knocked and called out Xiao Zhan’s name. After some time and no one opened the door, she left and thought that maybe his boyfriend was not in the City and he traveled by plane so that’s why the car was left outside.

Xiao Zhan was so anxious and nervous that he held Wang Yibo tighter. He commanded, “Don’t make any noise,” or else his girlfriend will catch him hugging a man.

Wasn’t it awkward?

Wang Yibo pulled down Xiao Zhan’s hand covering his mouth and nose with strength then he responded in a very low voice angrily, “I will make a noise if you will hold me this way. Do you want to kill me??” Because he could not breathe.

Xiao Zhan chuckled. It was already like that. When Wang Yibo held his hands covering his mouth, Xiao Zhan noticed that his other hand on Wang Yibo’s waist was actually being held since they entered the room.

Everything from outside suddenly disappeared in Xiao Zhan’s line of thinking and focused on the body in front of him.

While Wang Yibo kept on cursing in his mind. Maybe it was the wine that made him feel hot, unwilling to admit that the hot body at his back was the reason. His forehead and palms began to sweat. His breath was heavy.

Because they avoided making any noises, both remained steady for a couple of minutes. Both having difficulties breathing.

Both having an inexplicable thumping of hearts.

Suddenly after realizing that no one was outside the house anymore, both were profusely sweating.

Out of the blue, Xiao Zhan said in a very hoarse voice, almost a moaning sound, “Stay with me this way, then you are paid off.”

It was a warm body...

No, it was the man in front of him that made him admit he liked what was happening. He liked the warmth and the smell of his body.

Xiao Zhan lost his control or maybe he was really drunk because he followed the urges of his body, he kissed Wang Yibo’s side of the neck and he tightened his embrace.

For a second, Wang Yibo was in a daze.  He tightened his grip on Xiao Zhan’s hand, his body trembled from the kiss and his knees lost the ability to stand still.

This man!

“You want to punish me instead?” Wang Yibo asked softly.

“Punishment? Is that so? Then allow me to punish you, Mr. Wang Yibo.”
