I MARRIED MY SOON-TO-BE GROOM

CHAPTER 9

"You’re such a smart aleck. If you don't stop, I'll really leave you here" Grumpy threatened, and it worked. Luna, now obedient as a puppy, followed Grumpy's instructions. "Get on my back" Yibo said, turning around. Luna beamed and gave a thumbs-up to someone in the distance.

"You'll never have a peaceful life again, bro" Woodz muttered from a distance. The truth was, they had planned this to see if Yibo cared about Zhan.

Luna placed his bags around Grumpy's neck and climbed onto his back. "Who told you to buy the entire mall? I thought you had no money" Yibo said as he started walking.

"I just wanted to, hubby. By the way, how did you know I had no money? Were you eavesdropping?" Zhan asked, causing Yibo to deny it quickly. "Why would I care about your conversation? Don't forget, your friends are my friends too," Yibo retorted. "Stop talking" Yibo thought.

"But..." Before Zhan could continue, Yibo cut him off. "If you speak again, I'll really leave you here."

"Okay, okay, I'll be quiet, grumpy husband," Zhan replied.

As they walked, Luna couldn’t help but ask, “Grumpy husband, why do you dislike me so much?” Yibo ignored him. “It’s so boring, no one’s talking” Luna muttered. “If you want me not to leave you here, shut your mouth for once,” Yibo snapped.

Soon, they arrived at Yibo’s apartment. Luna knew about it but had never been inside. When Yibo opened the door, Luna screamed. “Monster, don’t come near us!” as he saw a dog running towards them. “Monster, monster, monster!” he kept repeating. “Why are you screaming? It’s just a dog” Yibo said angrily. But instead of replying, Luna tightened his grip on Yibo, almost climbing onto his arm to avoid the dog.

“That’s my pet, not a monster. Zanzan, go inside” Yibo commanded the dog, which just looked at him, confused by the screaming person behind Grumpy. Luna stopped screaming when he heard the dog’s name. “What did you say? What’s his name? I didn’t hear it wrong, did I?” he asked repeatedly. Yibo ignored him and again told Zanzan to go inside.

“You jerk, you named that beast after me!” Luna exclaimed, pulling Yibo’s ear. “If you don’t let go of my ear, I’ll drop you” Yibo threatened. The dog moved closer, and Luna, now on the verge of tears, trembled. “Please, keep the monster away, I beg you” He pleaded. Yibo couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you afraid of dogs?” Silence filled the room.

But when the dog barked, Luna screamed and clung to Yibo’s ear even harder. “Dad said dogs are monsters that eat people” Luna whispered.

“Zanzan, go inside” Yibo ordered the dog again. Instead of leaving, the dog sat near Yibo’s feet. “Please, I’ll be good, just take the monster away” Luna whispered, tears streaming down his face. Yibo took out his phone and called Woodz. “Come to my apartment right now” he said before hanging up.

“Go live with Woodz. He doesn’t have a dog” Yibo said, walking towards the sofa to put Luna down. But Luna didn’t let go and clung to him tightly. “I’ll stay here because we’re married,” Luna said firmly. “So you want me to get rid of my dog?” Yibo asked angrily. Luna didn’t answer, still shaking in fear.

Woodz must have been nearby because he arrived at Yibo’s apartment within minutes. He was shocked by the scene: Luna clinging to Yibo, his eyes red from crying, Yibo seething with anger, and the dog sitting calmly beside Yibo.

Elsewhere, while Zhan's father was in his office, one of the bodyguards knocked, looking for Zhan.

"Come in," he said. Before they could speak, he asked where Zhan was. "Gov, we went to all the places he might have gone, but he wasn't there. We also followed his friends, and when they went home, they didn't come out of their houses," one of the bodyguards reported.

Zhan's father looked at them angrily. "You're all useless. You can't even find a 17yrs old. What's the point of paying you if you can't do your job?" he shouted. "A 17yrs old? It might be easier to find a camp of people than your son who must be hiding where his horns grew," one of the bodyguards muttered quietly, but his companion nudged him. "Did you say something?" Zhan's father asked. "Nothing, Governor," he replied, bowing his head.

"If I can't find you, I might have to use my own methods to speed up the search," he thought. "I'll hold a press conference tomorrow. Call the Journalist and reporters you know," he ordered his secretary. he looked at him hesitantly. "Is there something you want to say?"

"Gov. I was just thinking, people are still talking about him not showing up at the wedding. If you hold a press conference, I think the situation will worsen. You know the young master, he'll do anything to keep you in the spotlight. His card has been blocked, he can't stay out without money" his secretary explained, making him ponder. "Damn it, Xiao Zhan, if I find you, I'll tie you up. I don't know what to do with you anymore," Zhan's father said, throwing his wine glass.

On the other hand, Woodz asked immediately, "What happened to you? Why are you crying?" as he approached Grumpy and Luna. Instead of Zhan, it was Yibo who answered. "Even the devil can get scared," he said, earning a glare from Zhan, even though he couldn't see it. "Take your new friend and let him stay at your house," Yibo said, about to hand Zhan over to Woodz, but he stopped when he felt Zhan's teeth on his shoulder.

"If you don't get your dog off me, I'll bite harder," Zhan threatened. "You were nice earlier, now you're a devil again" Yibo said, looking at Woodz. "Take Zanzan to your house" he said, with Woodz looking at him as if asking. "The dog?" Woodz clarified. "Are you sure it's really your dog?"

"I'm tired. I don't want to talk anymore, Woodz" Yibo said. Woodz didn't say anything else and took the dog out of the house.

After Woodz left, Yibo said, "Can you get down now? You're heavy."

"You're really grumpy, but thanks," Zhan said, getting down.

"Is this your room?" Luna asked.

"Yes, and you'll be sleeping here..." Grumpy hadn't even finished speaking before Luna was already inside the room.

"Hey, don't just barge into other people's rooms" Yibo said, following Luna.

Luna: "I'm sleeping here."

Grumpy: "You really have some nerve, taking my bed too."

Luna: "I didn't say I'd take your bed. We can share."

Grumpy: "I don't want to."

"In that case, sleep outside, besides there is nothing wrong if we sleep next to each other, we are already married, stop being so dramatic, hubby" Luna said, starting to take off his clothes. Grumpy tried to stop him.

Grumpy: "Don't you have any shame left in you?"

"We're married, and we're both men, what's your problem? You're straight right? unless tot tot tot" Luna replied seductively, continuing to undress. Yibo had no choice but to leave the room.

"Oh interesting, he's straight, like a ruler, my a$$" Luna whispered and laughed loudly.
