As Yan spoke, telling his father to take his mother home, he kept motioning at his father to look at his little brother's hands. FuRen followed Yan's gaze. What he saw prompted him to hurriedly say, "The kids are right. XiaoRan, you must be exhausted. Let's head home first. JingYuan dotes on HanHan so much. Would you really be worried about him not taking good care of our son?"
FuRen kept pushing his wife out of the room as he verbally ushered her out. Then, he whispered into her ear, "Let's head home first. I've got something to tell you."
Ma was still uneasy but, at the sight of her husband's serious eyes, she kept quiet and followed him out.
XueQing and Yan exchanged a glance. "We'll see them out," she then said, pulling TianYang along with her out of the room with Yan following suit.
Now, only JingYuan and YiHan were left in the room. YiHan silently stared at JingYuan for a few moments, then reached out to grab the other's hand.
"JingYuan, you came. I'm so happy," he said with a gentle smile.
JingYuan's heart ached so badly it felt like it was cramping up. His free hand came up and caressed YiHan's soft cheek. "Happy? You're so badly hurt. You scared me. Even now, just thinking about how I found you makes my legs buckle. It's all my fault. I didn't protect you properly. You were hurt right under my watch."
"You're not a fortune teller. How could you predict the future?" YiHan asked, pressing his lips together to hold his smile back. "Say, you've been by my side a lot lately. I wasn't even meant to leave home today. Did you know there was danger lurking around? Unfortunately, I didn't listen to you. I worried you."
The other man grabbed YiHan's hand and rubbed his cheek against it. He kissed YiHan's palm. "You've said it yourself," JingYuan said, distress in his voice. "I'm not a fortune teller. How could I have known there'd be danger? We just got together. Isn't it our honeymoon period? Naturally, I'd want to be by your side every day, every moment. I wanted you to stay home today because I wanted to be able to see you the second I came back. What? Am I too clingy?"
YiHan couldn't hold back his smile anymore. A chuckle burst through his lips. If the world knew the great CEO Mr Mu would talk like a distraught and wronged wife, the Mu Group's stock prices would plummet.
Still, YiHan had to comfort his lover when he's in such agony. "I would never say that. Why would I? These days, I've been doing my best not to burst out laughing in joy. Unlike me, an unemployed man, you're always busy. Every day, my mind keeps making up plans to make you stay away from work. I wanted you by my side. Thankfully, our hearts seemed to know what the other was thinking. Before any of my nonsensical plans were started, you stayed. Look at me. When you're by my side, no one would dare come near me. As soon as you leave me, I get hurt."
Love swelled in JingYuan and he couldn't hold himself back anymore. He leaned down to peck YiHan's nose.
"Little one, you finally learned how to speak to your lover. If things really are as you say, then I must not stray even an inch away from you. Right?" said JingYuan.
YiHan blinked. "Then should I start showering you with praise and flattery, my dear guardian angel?"
"I look forward to it. Do your best. Ah, you must be tired. Was today terrifying?" JingYuan asked. He tenderly touched the bandages on YiHan's wrist. His teeth were clamped down so tightly that blood would be drawn soon.
YiHan spread his arms out and JingYuan swiftly leaned in for a semi-hug, arms hovering around the man in the bed. YiHan tilted his head to kiss JingYuan on the cheek.
"At first, I was a little scared," YiHan said. "Then, Feng Qun brought up that foul desire of his. I'm already in a relationship with you, I thought. If I can't resist him, then I'll drag him to hell with me. I thought I was dead." He chuckled. A tear sliding down his cheek. "But you came. When you were standing before me, my fear vanished. I was afraid of nothing. When I saw you, my heart calmed down. It had never been so calm before. I was ecstatic. JingYuan, you came to save me. Even if I really died, I would've died without regrets."
