Chapter 7

"I'm I interrupting something here?" Wang Yibo's voice whispered between their faces. Xiao Zhan's eyes widened in shock as he stumbled back, his face pale. Yue's eyes also widened in surprise, and she took a step back, sensing the tension.

Wang Yibo's eyes blazed with anger and hurt, but he masked them well with his cold expression. "You're flirting with another woman?! In a drunken state?! How could you, Xiao Zhan?!" Xiao Zhan's eyes dropped in shame, and he stuttered, "Y-Yibo, I can explain..." But Wang Yibo cut him off, holding his hand and saying, "Of course you have to explain yourself, but not here." He started walking, dragging Xiao Zhan's hand.

The scene was starting to draw attention from the other patrons in the bar, and Xiao Zhan's face was red with shame.

Yue's eyes were wide with discomfort, and she took another step back, trying to distance herself from the drama.

Wang Yibo's eyes blazed with a mix of anger and hurt, his voice low and menacing. "You'd better, Xiao Zhan. Because from where I'm standing, it looks like you're flirting with this woman, and that's not acceptable." Xiao Zhan's face was pale, his eyes wide with fear. "Yibo, please listen-" But Wang Yibo cut him off, his voice rising. "No, you listen! I know our marriage means nothing to you, but I have an image to protect. And you're just like all the others, aren't you? You can't resist the temptation of someone new, someone exciting."

Zhuo Cheng, Xiao Zhan's brother, stepped in, "Mr. Wang, it's not what you're thinking. We're just playing a game..." But Wang Yibo cut him off, his eyes fixed on Xiao Zhan. Ji Li tried to hush them, but Xian Zhan murmured, "It's okay, guys. I can handle it."

Wang Yibo's gaze remained fixed on Xiao Zhan, his eyes burning with intensity.

Xiao Zhan knew he had done wrong, and he wore his wedding ring. Wang Yibo was a well-known person in Beijing, and having his husband flirt and try to kiss another woman wasn't okay at all. Xiao Zhan's face was a mix of fear and desperation. "Yibo, please understand-" "I understand perfectly. You're my husband, and you're flirting with another woman. That's not acceptable behavior, Xiao Zhan. Not acceptable at all."

Wang Yibo tried to drag him again, but Xian Zhan resisted. "Yibo, stop," he whispered. "Please." Wang Yibo's grip on Xian Zhan's hand tightened as he dragged him out of the bar. "You're coming with me, Xiao Zhan. We need to talk." Xiao Zhan stumbled along beside him, his heart racing with fear.

When they reached the mansion, Wang Yibo carried Xiao Zhan to the master bedroom, tossing him on the bed and locking the door. Xiao Zhan's alcohol-induced haze was gone, and he managed to stand up on the bed, his big eyes on Yibo, who was trying to strip himself for a hot shower. He was angry at Zhan, and the picture of his husband trying to kiss another woman was raging in his heart.

"Yibo, we need to talk," Xiao Zhan said, even though he didn't have to explain anything to him based on their marriage conditions. But Wang Yibo fiercely tossed him on the bed again, hovering over him, grabbing his hands, and holding them against his head. Xiao Zhan hissed in little pain. "What's wrong with you, Yibo? Why are you doing this? It's not like you love or care about me. We all have our freedom to do whatever we want. I will not allow you to manhandle me like you did earlier."

Wang Yibo grinned, his eyes gleaming with a hint of anger. "The fact that you're still legally my wedded husband doesn't change. And right now, I can do anything I want with you. I have the right." Xiao Zhan's heart raced as he yelled, "Don't you dare touch me, or I will..." But Wang Yibo cut him off, smirking. "What will you do, my dear husband?"

Wang Yibo held both Xiao Zhan's hands with one hand, and his neck chain with the other, staring at the rings. "So you even removed your wedding ring to flirt or try to get intimate with her?"
