Strategic Marriage

Chapter - 57

As soon as Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo came out of the mansion, Zhan hugged Yibo tightly. Yibo was caught off guard but he returned the hug.

"What's wrong, Zhan ge?" Yibo asked in a low voice.

"I am sorry. I am really sorry, Yibo. I didn't protect you well." Zhan said and buried his face on the crook of Yibo's neck.

Hearing Zhan's words, Yibo felt a lump on his throat. He gulped down and patted Zhan's back.

"You don't have to apologize, Zhan ge. You are not at fault. Who have thought that something like this would happen? Besides I am strong enough to protect myself. You don't need to protect me." Yibo said and Zhan broke the hug.

"But I still want to protect you." Zhan said.

"You protected me. You stood against your cousin and choose to believe me. That's a lot for me." Yibo said and held Zhan's arms.

"Thank you, Zhan ge. Thank you for choosing me over others. Thank you for standing up for me." Yibo said while staring directly in Zhan's eyes.

"I will always choose you over anyone and I will always protect you." Zhan said and hugged Yibo tightly.

"Mn." Yibo hummed and returned the hug.

They stood at the entrance of the mansion untill the driver came with their car. They got on their car and headed to their home.

Zhan and Yibo was sitting on the bed while treating each other's wounds. Zhan had cut the corner of his mouth while Yibo's hands had been bruised because of punching Xiao Sheng.

"That bastard dared to hit your handsome face. If he ruined your face then I would have ruined his face." Yibo said while gritting his teeth as he applied ointments on the corner of Zhan's mouth while Zhan chuckled.

When Yibo finished his work, Zhan held Yibo's hand and stared at the bruised on Yibo's hands. He sighed and started to treat the bruise.

"You have already ruined half of his face and bruise your hand. Instead of treating the bruise, you are fussing over a small cut." Zhan said and shook his head.

"Even if it's a small cut. It still on your face while mine is on my hand." Yibo said.

"Well, do I look ugly?" Zhan asked.

"Yeah, you look very ugly. Don't ruin your handsome face or I won't want to anymore." Yibo said jokingly and playfully glared at Zhan.

"As you wish, Your Highness. I will listen to Your Highness and won't let someone happen to my face. I don't want Your Highness to abandon me." Zhan said while acting pitiful and pouted.

Then both Zhan and Yibo looked at each other and laughed out loud. As they laughed, their heart feels at ease.

"It's done." Zhan said and kept the first-aid box away.

"By the way, you said that Sheng inappropriately touched you before. Why didn't you tell me about it?" Zhan asked while frowning.

"What should I say? Should I say that your cousin's fingers brushed against mine and made me uncomfortable?" Yibo asked.

"Yeah, you should have said that. Then I would have taken action." Zhan said and Yibo shook his head.

"What would you do? You would have gone to Xiao Sheng and confront him. But Xiao Sheng would refused it and claimed it as a misunderstanding. Then others would take advantage of it to threw dirt at us. I don't want that to happen. I am an adult and a successful businessman. I know what will be good for me, good for us. That's why I didn't make a fuss about it and avoided Xiao Sheng. But tonight Xiao Sheng had gone too far. Well, this also gives me advantage as I was able to expose his dirty face." Yibo said and Zhan sighed before nodding his head in understanding.
