My Rich Fiance (On Hold)

Chapter 13

"So the marriage wasn't much of one. But more like of a partnership than a marriage" Xin Ci sarcastically stated while serving dinner to both his daughter and Yezun. Needless to say, Yezun agreed somehow to what this man said. They partly are engaged to save the inheritance of the twin but what has come to cross his mind is, "What will Wei do when he learns about his future groom to be his boyfriend?".

"So Zhao Yunlan is your brother? What a pleasant coincidence, they are actually dating and none of them knows that they are set to a mariage by both our families. Then the unthinkable happened" sighed Yezun as he averted his eyes to see the little girl watching him close with tender fond eyes. "Do you like daddy's food?" The little girl nodded in objection.

"I like you more, can I marry you when I grow up? Please stay single, please" Yezun simply nodded, maintaining a calm composure. But his insides were quivering fearing Xin Ci's possible reaction.

"You!" The expression on her father's face changed abruptly, as she did not expect that he will be somehow mad at her for saying this. "How could you be this easy and propose to a man in front of me, have some manners" The serious face he made quickly changed into a tender and smily one before he laughed at her innocent nativity.

Yezun breathed in relief "You seriously scared me"

Xin Ci leaned over and lift a borrow saying all in a sarcastic tone "As if I am handing you my precious daughter. You need to fight for her" He retrived his body when Yezun felt his breath fading away from his face.

"I'd rather fight for her dad" Yezun softly suggested making it look like a joke.  

Xin Ci jumped from his seat looking extremely disturbed and angry "Mei if you are done eating go to your bed quickly" The sudden action gave Yezun a good scare. Xin Ci came to stand in front of him, they were so close that the distance between their faces was less than one centimeter. 

He voiced his thoughts loud and robust "From this moment on, I advice you not to joke about this ever again especially in front of the girl. I thought I had made myself clear about us" Yezun was unexpectedly intoxicated with his emotional whispers of rejection, with heart beating fast. He propped him on his thick chest with hands, but forget to revolt him.   

Yezun said something that got Xin Ci to choke on his saliva "The more you are this cold and reject me, the more I love you unconditionally" His deep eyes were so mysterious and attractive, as if a vortex was hidden inside. Yezun's lowered his head, while he closed his eyes without escaping, as meek as a cat.

"I apologize for kissing you, I don't want to give you hope. A relationship between us is impossible, I can only be a friend no more" His sent indulged Yezun that he didn't focus on his words. After a while, there was a dull thud. Xin Ci shoved him away gently, "I think you should go home for tonight" The man definitely did not expect that Xin Ci would be so sharp tongue, especially since he had been nice to him the entire time.

Xin Ci's voice was as cold as ice. After a while, he glanced at Yezun once and then walked towards the door without uttering another word. "Yeah, sorry for coming unannounced" Yezun stood up briskly, knocking over his chair. The sound of the crash was so loud in the quiet kitchen, he didn't even finish his dinner.    

Yezun stood by the door when he said in a mock-up serious tone. "I guess we shall stop here, I can no longer bear the pain inside my chest anymore" He gave Xin Ci one last gaze with a genuine smile before he went out walking quick paces trying to run away before he could go back crying and pleading.

"Why do I feel hurt as well, seeing him leave broken this way kills me deep inside" Xin Ci closed the door when he stood there for a moment recalling all of Yezun's confessions and sweet smiles and tenderness. He felt regret and guilt for being this cold and harsh but he has no intention in bringing him down with him into his messy life.
