Until Next Time - Yizhan

Chapter Forty Nine

BOLD ITALIC illustrates Yibo's subconscious mind, where he engages in conversations with his late grandfather, Lan Xie Yun.

Inside the car, the two of them were silent. Zhan could feel the sexual tension between them. He wanted to be ashamed of what he had done but Yibo didn't say anything about it so he remained calm.

Yibo guided Zhan up the stairs.

"If it were possible that we marry today, I would have done so..." Yibo leaned in and whispered, "So, you can really do whatever you want with me, huh?" Zhan playfully teased.

"I could easily do that without the sanctity of marriage," Yibo said arrogantly. "Just like a while ago, right?"

Zhan was taken aback and quickly squinted his eyes to hide his embarrassment "You concei-" He couldn't finish what he was saying because Yibo's finger covered his lips.

"Don't be embarrased. You know what I'm saying is true because we share the same feelings. But I want to do the right thing, sweetheart. I want to make slow and sweet love to you aboard Precious Shi Ying. On our honeymoon. We will set sail to the Carribean..." he said while shrugging his shoulders. "I don't know why I suddenly feel so honorable when days ago I would have wanted to make you mine anywhere and anytime. Maybe you're a witch. You cast your magic spell on me." Yibo grinned.

Zhan smiled at him, his heart swelled with love. "I-I'm taking a shower..." The words he wanted to hear left unspoken. Yibo's words and actions really make him happy. Above all, Yibo is marrying him.

"Come on, hurry up! I'll be in the dining room waiting for you." Said Yibo.

Yibo was just about to head to the kitchen when he glanced at the portraits on the wall as he turned away from the stairs.

He thought of Zhan's portrait hanging on the wall next to him. The thought pleased him so and smiled.

💚💛❤️ 💚💛❤️ 💚💛❤️ 💚💛❤️ 💚💛❤️ 💚💛❤️ 💚💛❤️

On that day, he and Yibo had just returned from Lan farm. He already met the couple Haikuan and Yifei during Quiren and Carmen's anniversary party, where he was introduced as Yibo's fiancé.

After they had lunch, Yibo showed him around different spots on the island. It would take a few more days to explore all of Gusu Island. Zhan was convinced that hotel guests would shell out a fortune just to catch a glimpse of the stunning view Yibo had just showed him. The final stop on their tour was a serene stream nestled in the heart of the forest.

"This lake is private, too," Yibo helped him off the horse and then picked a wildflower to tuck behind his ear. "This place is so special for my Uncle Cao Yuchen and Aunt Xuan Lulu. Some of their wedding anniversaries were spent in this place."

Zhan looked around, his curiosity piqued. "Why?" he asked, his eyes taking in the stunning scenery. The only sounds were the gentle trickle of the waterfall and the cheerful chirping of birds. Wildflowers in a rainbow of colors dotted the landscape.

Yibo just shrugged. "They never told us why... but we could guess." Yibo grinned. A malicious boyish grin. "Want us to duplicate whatever was that happened here many years ago? We could make it better..."

"Yibo!" Zhan quickly turned around but Yibo grabbed his arm.

"You're blushing, sweetheart..." Yibo chuckled. Yibo bent down and planted a kiss on Zhan's lips. But the kiss became long, and sweet. And when it ended, Yibo 's breathing was shallow and uneven. "You're a temptation..."
