THE GAME

Chapter 30

Wei Ying P.O.V

Not long after I came up, the sound of engines resounded in my ears. It made my heart thump nervously but YanLi's worried smile had me calm on the outside.
There is no use in fighting...How will it benefit anyone if I create a bigger rift than I already have? Xue Yang's carefree life,  my family's reputation, that of the Lans- all that has changed because of my carelessness.  
Jiang Cheng's union with Lan Xichen and YanLi's future. All of that rests in my silence. If I condone the messy rumors in the air by voicing out, I could be the source of my siblings being unhappy.
So I'll be a good son and shut up. I already made my choice...and should live according to it. 

"A'Xian, I'll get you something to eat.", YanLi's care was leaving me soon after feeling it engulf me. The disapproving look on Jiang Cheng's face was the next thing to catch my eye. I admire how strong he is, to defend me even when he needs this union more than anyone else.
Truth is that Jiang Cheng's position as sect leader would be threatened if he does not stay with an alpha. In the long line of the Jiang's, there was never an omega that became a Sect Leader. 'Omegas are weak' is what they say. To let one rule without an alpha was seen as a dangerous game that could cause havoc. Imagine every alpha with power going after Wanyin... Zewujun is the stronghold Jiang Cheng needs to keep YunmengJiang Sect.

"Are you satisfied letting that jade off the hook?", My brother finally said something after Sister left. I chose not to answer him. 

"I never thought I'd see the day where you become a coward. Where is that brother of mine who refused to bend the knee?... Look, I believed Xichen when he said Wangji cared about you. I even thought I could keep you by my side if you truly find respect in Wangji's eyes but he is still nothing but a greedy monster and you have to let him pay!!" his eyes glowed red in anger. Knowing Jiang Cheng tries not to be disappointed in me hurts because he's doing a bad job at hiding it. 

'No time to cry over spilled milk, no need to look for my tears when the river carried it away. I am strong. I am Wei Wuxian.' Keeping such thoughts afloat grew harder by the day. Like holding a load in your hands; the weight does not change but the strain and pain grow by the minute. It didnt dawn on me that I was biting my tongue bloody in an attempt to keep mute. Not until Wanyin rushed to my end and forced my teeth to release my flesh. 

In that instant, I felt warmth again. Jiang Cheng's arms were stronger and held me down as I wept. I hate myself... I hate everything about me. I wish I could disappear into thin air, yet I dont want to die.

"Ahhh, what the hell are you doing in my house!... And who changed my clothes?!"

"Your house? Master Nie, you're in my apartment and I changed your clothes.", Bo Zhen lifted his palms to show that he was harmless. Huaisang now scanned the room properly with his eyes. Bo Zhen expected it to calm him but Huaisang was not convinced the alpha was a saint. He picked up the lamp by the bed.

"Woah!", Zhen swerved the hit and caught his hand. Yanked into the alpha's arms, the omega restricted. 

"Nie Huaisang, you got drunk and mistook my car for your ride. I could not leave you in the middle of the night and you could not tell me where you lived, so I brought you here.", Bo Zhen explained; gripping the other tighter when he tried to get free. Huaisang's pheromones were not too loud. It had a mild sweetness to it when he was angry. Zhen was very polite even when he was getting turned on. 

"Get your hands off me...", Young Master winced from the suffocating squeeze.

"I will if you dont leave...Brunch. Just have brunch, then you can leave.", Bo Zhen grinned.
