THE GAME

An Angry Father

"No fucking way...he reeks of my brother.", Jiang Cheng exposed the second jade as soon he got home. Huaisang spilt the beans beforehand.

" What...", Lan Xichen's eyes went wide when his brother did not deny it.

"Hah! HAHA!... He finally grew some balls! No more Mr Nice Guy.", Jiang Cheng laughed to process the shock on his husband's face.

"This is not something to joke about, Wanyin. What has come over you Wangji!", Lan Xichen raised his voice.

"Fuck you Xichen, stop being selfish for once and congratulate Wangji for manning up...You have my blessing brother in law.", Wanyin smirked.

Xichen, "Jiang Wanyin!...*Sigh* In the past I would have supported this behaviour but things have changed. There is a child involved."

JC, "So what?! Why are you supporting Wen Xu anyway?"

LW, "Brother, I will love Wen Yuan as my own."

"See, Wangji gets it.", Jiang Cheng was hyper.

LX, "Are you listening to yourself? Have you forgotten the terms of agreement with the treaty?"

"Lan Wangji never signed anything... It won't matter if Wen Xu dies.", Jiang Cheng patted Wangji on the shoulder, whispering encouraging words to him as he pulls him away for details.

**********

Lan Wangji arrived at a lodge some forty minutes after work. He punched the password on the lock and went in after the beep. The next thing he does is take off his shoes and hang his coat on the rack.

" You're finally here...How did it go?", a face was smiling at him in the living room.
The jade lay his weight beside the person and handed him a book.

Mo Xuanyu is enthralled by the signature on the first page. Tracing the writing with his fingers, he speaks of how he would have loved to meet the author.

"You could have met him if you came with me.", Lan Wangji had become a familiar companion.

"Naa, if I did that you would not have made a move? Did you get some alone time with him?", Mo Xuanyu asked.

"Mn..."

"So, did you two kiss and cuddle?", Xuanyu bats his eyes with a mischievous grin. He enjoyed pulling Wangji's legs.

"...", Wangji was not going to share the details. He still had no clue why this beta wants to help him.

"Ugggh, Lan Wangji must I teach you everything... Oh, I see you mentioned me in your conversation...", Xuanyu beams at how bold his name was written on the first page.
" Like I always say, if you want that omega to notice you, make use of the cheapest trick in the book.", Lan Wangji was taking advice from a man who has no idea how it feels like to be him or Wei Ying.

"Jealousy is a common language amongst dominants no matter the gender. So do you have a next move?"

"...Im taking my leave."

"Pfft, are you sure you dont want to share it with me?", Mo Xuanyu flings his gift on the centre table and straddles the jade in a playful yet serious way. Lan Wangji's hard gaze does not waver as their nose brush. " Mn."

"Think again.", Mo Xuanyu smiled so callously before landing a kiss on Wangji's lips, " Hanguangjun, stop playing nice. Are you not tired of watching your person whore around while you stay chaste?"

Swiftly, the jade pushed the beta onto the couch, breathing in his cologne."Wei Ying is not that kind of person...don't ever kiss me again."

"Hahaha, when have I ever listened to you, Lan Wangji?", The beta looped his arms around the jades neck and tried again just before Wangji got off.
"I'll see you tomorrow, don't forget to turn in that assignment.", the jade said on his way out.
