19. April

Yibo's POV

I sat there and watched my father and the princes talking about today. I could feel Zhan-ge's presence behind me and that was the only thing that calmed me down a little. But I noticed my mood getting worse every day. I was not sure how long it will take before I totally freak out.

Yi Fei entered our house two hours ago without telling anyone. Well, without telling me. It seemed like my father knew it. I could see that at his reaction once she rung the doorbell. Not surprised at all. He hugged her, welcomed her and complimented her.

Her reason for coming was because she wanted to have breakfast with us. Her father had to arrange the press conference which will happen in a few days and also the safe transfer of the crown from Myanmar to China. Therefore he would not breakfast with us.

Of course I had to take part in the conversation but no matter what, I could not share the excitement. Like I already said, I did not care where the wedding will be held. Its not like I was asked if I wanted this wedding in the first place.

I decided to chose the third or maybe the fourth location no matter how it looked. I had no energy to visit 7 places and the earlier I got rid of the princess, the better.

After the breakfast I excused myself to get ready and while my father just waved his hands to show me he had listened, Yi Fei smiled at me. The same smile like always. Her eyes telling me how happy and excited she was, her cheeks turned slightly red whenever I looked or smiled back at her. When I first noticed that I thought that she was behaving like a 16 years old girl but later I realized that her behaving was that of a woman who was madly in love for the first time and I was just the unfortunate one who was loved by her.

I retreated in my room followed by Zhan-ge. Whenever my father or Yi Fei was near, he talked less. It was a safe move but I liked to talk to Zhan-ge. He was the only one, except my brother and Zoey, who I could talk to, who listened and understood me.

I wanted to change my clothes but with Zhan-ge watching my every move, I was embarrassed. I did not feel like that when we were in jail but now I did. So I decided to change my clothes in the bathroom. Once I was done, I came out, ignoring the amused looks Zhan-ge threw at me.

I took my phone and when I turned around, Zhan-ge stood right behind me. I flinched in shock before glaring at him.

"Stop scaring me!" I said annoyed, trying to hide my embarrassment. I was an adult and should not get easily scared but I could not help myself because .... usually it was my father who did these things and that freaked the hell out of me.

"Sit down!" He ordered and I frowned. I wanted to pass him but he hindered me from doing that. "Yibo, sit down." He said, more gently now. I sighed and did what he wanted me to do, waiting for him to tell me the reason. But instead of saying something he knelt down in front of me, just like yesterday, and pulled up my trouser leg, revealing the bruise.

"The medicine seems to work." I said surprised. The bruise was still very dark but at least a little lighter than the day before. While he was applying more of the ointment he looked at me in amusement.

"I told you my saliva is working." He winked and I rolled my eyes at his teasing.

"Yeah, sure. Its all thanks to your saliva." I shook my head in amusement. "Why not making a medicine out of it?" I joked.

"Not a bad idea. I will earn a lot of money." He said and rolled down my pants again. "And for my friends it will be for free." He grinned and unbuttoned my shirt to get access to my bruised hip. He caressed it and I was ready to grit my teeth but to my surprise it was not hurting that badly anymore.

Zhan-ge leaned in and softly pecked it. Then he looked into my eyes and while I was hypnotized my his eyes he stuck out his tongue and licked the bruise multiple times until someone knocked on the door. I tore my gaze away from him and wanted to button my shirt be he shook his head and waved the ointment in front of my face.

"I still have to use this." He smiled and I let him apply it with soft movements while I tried to control my irregular heartbeat. Lately it behaved unusual which I found very troublesome.

"Yibo? Are you ready?" Yi Fei's voice sounded in front of the door.

"Yes, one minute." I answered her and pushed Zhan-ge gently away. "Enough. Yi Fei is waiting." I said, stood up and walked towards the door. I opened it and saw Yi Fei standing there.

"Can we go?" She asked and I nodded. "Great!" She entwined our arms and pulled me towards the stairs.

I looked back and saw Zhan-ge following us with a straight face. He looked kind of annoyed but I had no time to ask him why his mood suddenly dropped as my father waited for us downstairs.

"Yi Fei, I hope today you have as much fun and success as yesterday. This evening I will meet Qilin, so I will be home very late. Yibo, be nice." He said. For others it might sound like he was teasing me but I knew better. I nodded obediently and father let us pass. We walked towards the car and once everyone was seated and buckled up, the car drove off.  

We arrived at the first location after 40 minutes. While driving, it was quiet. Mostly because we were still a little tired but Yi Fei rather rested her head on my shoulder and relaxed than talking nonstop about the wedding. I liked the quietness but not the proximity of the princess.

Once we arrived I nudged her softly before climbing out of the car. Zhan-ge was next to me within seconds, even closer than the princess usually was. I looked at him confused but did not asked him. We walked towards a man in his 30. He greeted us before introducing the first location.  

I did not listen to anything that man said and let Yi Fei handle everything. She seemed to like the location but it was not the perfect one in her opinion. Mostly because she saw that I had no interest this one. She wanted me to like it as much as her, just like with the wedding dress, repeating over and over again it was our wedding and we should chose everything together.  

 It was the same with the next location.

Yi Fei seemed to like this place a lot more but when she sneaked gazes at me and saw my disinterest she shook her head to the guide, telling him to put it on list in case we would not find a better place. I frowned at this. Why was is so important for her that I like the location too? I mean we would only marry there, not live there.

But as annoying I thought it was, I suppressed the urge to tell her my opinion. While she looked around I followed her, trying to listen to her pro and contra list. Zhan-ge was always next to me, and with next to me  I mean very very close. I knew he was my bodyguard but what he was doing was a little too much in my opinion. Despite that I liked his presence. It was the only thing that allowed me to not get too frustrated. I felt a lot calmer whe he was next to me than Yi Fei.

"Yibo, what do you think?" I heard Yi Fei asking me and I tried to look at her as if I was listening the whole time.

"Good points but ... I am not convinced yet." I answered and saw her nodding.

"You are right. We still have 5 more locations to visit." She said and walked up to me, entwined our hands and looked at the guide. "Lets go to the next one."

I looked to Zhan-ge, wanted to check if he was still following me and when I did so he looked even more annoyed than before. I shook my head in confusion while walking back to the car.

Then it happened. It was the third location and I felt it again. The feeling that someone was watching me. First I did not realize it and followed Yi Fei. We were at the beach and could hear the sound of the sea. It was beautiful. Very.  

While Yi Fei was not convinced because of the sand, I liked it a lot, especially the sand. Imagining walking over it with bare foot made me smile. This was the prefect location when you marry the person you love. That is the reason why I definitely did not want to have Yi Fei's and my wedding here. Had I had the chance to marry someone else, someone I chose and someone I  fell in love with, it would be here.

Yi Fei looked a little more and I stood there, close to the sea and was breathing in the fresh air. I could not prevent a smile leaving my lips. I felt at peace here and the more I time passed, the wider my smile got.

"It seems like you just found your dream location...." I heard Zhan-ge's voice next to me right after hearing the sound of a camera and I instantly opened my eyes.

"You are wrong." I answered but I heard him chuckle.

"I don't think so. Look here." He showed me his phone. He made a photo of me and I actually looked pretty happy. I glared at him.

"Delete it!" I ordered but he shook his head.

"No. I like your smile, Yibo. I never saw you really happy before. When we were both in jail.... I could see that you were more carefree than now, not really happy but you laughed. I wanted to see that laugh again but with all the things happening right now I understand that you are not able to laugh. This photo here is the closest to it. I will keep it and there is nothing you can do." He grinned and I huffed before looking back at the ocean.

Then I felt it. I turned around, looked to all sides but could not see anyone.

"What?" Zhan-ge asked me.

"I don't know. I feel like someone is watching me again...." I answered unsure and within seconds he was in front of me, watching our surroundings carefully. I just had to laugh.

"Is that really necessary? You are not even a real bodyguard. You watched way to many movies."

"I was in the military, only for a few weeks but the training was hard and I learned a few things." He answered absentmindedly.

"Military? Really? Why did you want to go there?"I asked curiously but he shook his head and looked at me.

"We should go to the princess. I don't care what happens to her but I do not want to lose my job.... or you."

"You really like being a bodyguard, huh?" I raised my brows.

"No, I like being your bodyguard." He smirked at me and before he could see my face changing its color I quickly walked ahead. "Hey, why so fast? Did I say something wrong?" I heard his amused voice but I ignored it. The feeling being watching was not there anymore but I kind of have the feeling it was not the last time I sensed it.

Yi Fei stood with the guide and looked relieved once she saw me. "Where were you Yibo?"

"Looking around."

"And? What do you think?"

"Its not the right one. I liked the one before this better." I lied, not wanting to marry her at his amazing place.

"I feel the same." She laughed and turned towards the guard. "Please remove this location from the list and then lets see the next one."

'Her preferences are totally different than mine...' I thought. 

"Lying is a sin..." Zhan-ge whispered softly in my ear and when his lips brushed against my ear shell I shuddered and glared at him in annoyance. I hate the impact he had on me and was a little bit relieved I never had any friends before or else I would feel like this more often than necessary.

I shook my head and let Yi Fei pulling me gently to the car. One glance at Zhan-ge told me his mood once again changed as he frowned and looked annoyed.

'He had some serious mood swings...' 

On our way to the next location my stomach grumbled. I was hungry. It was 3pm and the last thing I ate was the breakfast. I heard Yi Fei giggle.

"Driver, what is the nearest restaurant?" She asked amused.

"Its the Lanting Restaurant, princess."

"I heard of it. A few politicians suggested it when they visited us in Myanmar. Lets go there." Yi Fei said and driver nodded.

Once we entered the restaurant I already knew the food wouldn't be any better than the one we had yesterday. I sighed silently and thankfully the princess did not hear it. I took the menu and tried to find something eatable which was almost impossible but at the end I chose a dish called 'duck on green clouds', hoping it would taste good. Yi Fei chose something else and then we waited for the food.

"Yibo, from the three locations we saw til now, which one was the most suitable one in your opinion?" She asked me curiously.

"The second one." I lied and saw her smiling happily.

"I think so too. I like it that we have a similar taste." She said and then looked behind me. "Mr. Xiao, is it possible to let me and Yibo... having some time alone?" She asked him and inwardly I begged Zhan-ge to not go.

"I am sorry, princess. But my job is to protect Yibo. I cant let him out of my sight. I hope you understand that." He answered and I almost smiled.

"Guess it cant be changed. I am satisfied that you take your job seriously, Mr. Xiao. How about you sit down and eat with us?"

"Thanks, princess. But I am on duty. I will eat something later. Something more .... delicious." He answered and I chuckled. 'Lucky Zhan-ge ...'

"What is so funny?" Yi Fei asked amused and I shook my head.

"Nothing. Look, the waiter is coming" I said and soon our food was served. Her food looked like it was a mix of liver pate and caviar and I tried my best to not throw up seeing her plate.

When I looked down on my plate, it was not any better. There was duck, as big as my fist lying on a green cloud of different green vegetables. 'Great...' I thought.  

During lunch Yi Fei talked about how she liked exploring china's best wedding locations with me. She was happy that it was only us and that our fathers were not included. In her opinion we spent too less time together and I did my best to not roll with my eyes hearing this.

"I am glad you like my country." I answered with a forced smile. He put down her cutlery and reached out her hand to lay it over mine.

"Me too. And I cant wait to show you Myanmar next weekend. I already booked a ship just for us so we can have sightseeing tour, we also will have a carriage ride through Inwa and will visit Bagan. I know its not that much but we have only two days. Once you moved into the palace we have more than enough time to visit every place in Myanmar. But you can look up if there is anything you want to see, I can still change the plans for next weekend." She said excitingly.

"I trust you. You know your country the best. Lets do what you planned." I answered. I had no time looking up something which did not interest me at all. I felt bad being like that but it was the truth and I did not want to change it.

"I promise we will have a lot of fun." She said before continuing eating. She kept holding my hands and I did not dare to move my hand away. I only ate half of the duck before I surrendered. I just could not eat more of this.... thing.

So all I did was waiting for the princess to finish eating while concentrating on the only thing that kept me from going crazy, Zhan-ge. Thankfully he stood very close to me and I smiled inwardly.  

Back in the car on our way to the next location I made a decision. The fourth location will be my choice. I did not want to visit three more after this one. So once we arrived I looked around and tried my best to make big eyes. It was not that hard considering that the location looked very nice. The view was amazing and therefore it was easy for me to act like this the location I was looking for. I liked having water around me.

 Yi Fei had her back towards me, so I could not see her face.

"This is amazing." I said and looked at Yi Fei's back. "I thinks its perfect. Look at the view, Yi Fei. Isn't it beautiful?"

I waited for her to either say I was right or I was wrong. But I did not expect her reaction. She turned around, run up to me and jumped into my arms. I was so shocked I almost let her fell on the ground but thankfully I quickly pulled myself together. Not that the picture in my head of her falling on her behind wasn't quite funny. Because it totally was....

"Yibo!" She shrieked in my ear and I flinched.

"Y-yes?"

"I love you so much."

"O-okay.... Why so suddenly?" I asked her confused and saw Zhan-ge suppressing a laugh. He was amused about my question despite looking annoyed once again.

'What is with him and his mood?'

Yi Fei let go of me, pressed her palms against my cheeks and smiled. "My love for you is everything but suddenly, Yibo. Its just ... I saw you were not very happy with any location we have seen so far and I slowly was scared we wouldn't find anything. When I saw the picture of this location and the picture of second location in a brochure I already knew I wanted to have the wedding in one of these locations. I am so happy, Yibo."

"Ah... I ... I am glad, I guess....." I stuttered. 

"Yes, me too. Your father was right when he said we are a match made in heaven." She laughed and kissed me. Well, it was not one of her usual kisses. It was more like multiple pecks on my lips and cheeks.

'Shit... did I made her fall for me even more? But I am juts acting!' I thought panicky. Then, when she let go of my lips, I felt it again. I looked to Zhan-ge and as if he could read my mind, he came closer and look around carefully.

While Yi Fei hugged me, I watched Zhan-ge moving slowly, watching him looking into every direction and had to admit that he looked handsome. I mean not just handsome but ... now I could see what probably most of the women around him saw. 

'He is hot! Especially faking the bodyguard....' I was embarressed at my thoughts and felt my face heating up.

"I am sorry, did I scare you with my overreaction?" Yi Fei laughed embarrassed and I tore my gaze away from Zhan-ge, back to my fiance.

"Ah, a little. But its okay." I smiled awkwardly and she winked at me. Then Zhan-ge stood next to me and shook his head slightly to tell me he could not see anything. As the feeling was gone too I just shrugged my shoulders.

Yi Fei walked up to our guide to tell him that we chose this location and would not see the others. I sighed in relief and sat down on a chair.

"Tired?" Zhan-ge asked me.

"A little." I answered truthfully.

"Is it still there? The feeling, I mean?" He asked me and I shook my head.

"No, its gone. Maybe it is just coincidence?" I tried to think positive.

"Three times in two days? Definitely not." Zhan-ge answered and I sighed. Zhan-ge patted my back and where his hand touched me, I felt a tingle. 

"Yibo!" Yi Fei called me and walked up towards us. "Yibo, I am sorry. My father just called. A few politician wants to meet me in two hours. I know we promised to have the weekend for ourselves but .... it seems to be very important. That does not mean I think our wedding is not important. I just-"

"Yi Fei!" I interrupted her. "I don't mind. We found our location and the robes already. I will bring you home." I said to her. Inwardly I was very happy to have some time for myself and a look at Zhan-ge showed me he knew about that. 'That means I can spend some more time with Zhan-ge alone....' I thought excitingly. 

"You are really okay with that? Its our wedding after all and...."

"Yi Fei, its okay, really. Let me bring you home, okay?" I said and she nodded.

Once Yi Fei was gone I leaned back and relaxed. Today was even more tiresome than yesterday. It was 6 pm now and despite the fact that my father would not be home, I did not want to go back.

Suddenly the car drove off and I opened my eyes. To my surprise I saw Zhan-ge sitting behind the wheel, the previous driver nowhere to be seen.

"Zhan-ge? What are you doing? Where are we going?" I asked and he grinned at me.

"You will find out soon. Now relax, no annoying princess is in sight. Lets have some fun."

I laughed and closed my eyes again. I did not know what Zhan-ge planned but I trusted him.

I must have fell asleep because when I opened my eyes and looked at the watch, it were 7:30pm.

"Why did you not wake me up?" I asked him.

"You looked like you needed sleep. To be honest, you still look like it."

"Where are we?"

"In front of one of the best restaurants I know." He answered and pointed and a big sign. Domino's Pizza.

Just seeing this sign made my stomach grumble and I heard Zhan-ge laughing. "I thought so. Lets go."

"Wait! Do you have a hat or something?"

"No.... Hm..... Wait here, I will quickly get you one" He answered and left. I looked at Domino's Pizza and my stomach grumbled again. 'I am so hungry....'

Zhan-ge came back 10 minutes later and gave me a cap. I raised my brows and looked at him questioningly but he just winked and signaled me to follow him.

We entered the restaurant and chose a table hidden in the back of it, away from any windows. Thankfully with the cap on, no one recognized me but the people, most of them are women, were following us with their eyes. Not because of me but their attention were glued on Zhan-ge.

"Is there no place we can go without others staring at you?" I asked him and was surpised about my annoyance.

"With a face and body like mine? Not possible. Don't be jealous, you have all my attention." He answered amused and I rolled my eyes and looked towards a group of waitresses. They seem to have a dispute but after some minutes and a few rounds of scissors stone paper a waitress jumped up in victory before walking towards our table. She had long black hair and wore short jeans and a white blouse. She obviously was a Japanese and a look on her name tag told me her name was Yuki.

"Hello gentleman, may I take your order?" She asked us friendly.

I took the menu and decided to go with the Pizza Waikiki. Zhan-ge did not even look at the menu and ordered the same pizza as me.

"Alright. Drinks?" She asked Zhan-ge.

"A beer." I answered but her attention stayed on my bodyguard.

"Two beers please." Zhan-ge said and the waitress nodded before leaving again. I sighed and observes the other customers. I saw a little boy jumping up and down, waiting desperately for his pizza while a woman, obviously his mother, told him multiple times to sit down. The little boy ignored her until he saw a waitress walking up to their table, he immediately sat down and once the pizza was served his mother allowed him to eat.

I had to smile. This was a scenario I wanted to have on my own in the past. But my mother died and with a father like James Huang..... I stopped watching this happy family and when I looked at Zhan-ge I saw him observing me.

"What?" I asked him.

"Nothing." He answered and I frowned.

Just then our waitress came back with our order. I rolled my eyes seeing that the first two buttons of her blouse were open which wasn't the case before. Once she put down the plates she leaned down quite a bit, letting us, or rather letting Zhan-ge have a perfect insight into her blouse. 

"Excuse me, Miss. But your blouse is open. I don't think this is the suitable dress code for waitresses working here so you should button it. Its not a pleasant sight and I don't want to loose my appetite." I said and earned an annoyed glance from her.

"I am sorry, Sir. I did not realize it was open. I hope I did not distracted you." She forced a smile and after a wink at Zhan-ge she walked away with excessive swaying hips.

Zhan-ge did not say anything but I could see he was very amused with what happened. I ignored him and started to ate my delicious pizza. The first bite made me realize how hungry I was and without caring how other might look at me, I devoured the pizza within 10 minutes.

"That was the best pizza I ever had!" I announced satisfied and drank my beer.

"I am sure of that." He said amused before eating his pizza.  We did not talk much but I felt good. Eating food I like with a person I like is better than planning a wedding I did not want with a person I did not love. 

I watched Zhan-ge eating and my eyes stayed on his lips. I stared at them and thought about how he kissed me yesterday in the changing room. When he licked over his lips I realized what I was doing and quickly looked away feeling my face heating up. 

Once his plate and our  beer were empty, the waitress walked up to our table.

"We want to pay!" I said before she could flirt or ask us if we wanted something else. I gave her my credit card and payed for everything. Before she left, she gave Zhan-ge a piece of paper with her phone number on it. I shook my head and walked ahead.

I climbed into the car and watched Zhan-ge leaving the restaurant and stepped aside. It seemed like he was waiting for something and when 5 minutes later another customer left the building, Zhan-ge walked up to him. They talked for a while a few minutes later Zhan-ge joined me in the car.

"What was that? Did you know him?" I asked him curiously.

"No, I gave him the number of the waitress and told him she wanted to meet him." He grinned and I started to laugh. I would pay a lot of money to witness their meeting and seeing the face of the waitress when she realized her date was not Zhan-ge.

Zhan-ge smiled and started the car. "I love it when you laugh." 

I stopped and blushed. "Stop talking nonsense..." I mumbled and he raised his brows. 

"I do not. I want you to laugh more when you are with me. Where do you want to go next?"

"How about-" I was interrupted by my phone which started to ring. It was a message from my father telling me to come home immediately. I sighed dejected. "I have to go home...."

Zhan-ge did not say anything but drove me home as fast as he could. I had the feeling that my father was not in a good mood.

"Where were you?" My father asked me strictly. "As far as I know Princess Yi Fei was at home around 6 pm due to a meeting with a few politicians. We have 9 pm now and you just came home, so where were you!?"

"I had a little fun. Is that not allowed?" I asked back.

"Fun? Eating Pizza in a shabby restaurant in public while everyone could recognize you and waitresses can flirt with you is having fun? Didn't I tell you to stay away from women?"

"Are you spying on me?" I asked in disbelieve.

"I have to check for what you are using my money! Despite being furious, I did not say anything about you spending 5.500.000 Yuan for the wedding robes. It is actually a good thing showing the royals we are serious about the wedding. But spending my money for something useless like pizza and beer while flirting with other girls? Was I not clear enough with my speech two days ago?"

"Got it. Next time I use my own money! Happy!?"

"Wang Yibo! I dare you to go against me! Why did you not attend the meeting with the politicians at Yi Fei's side? You are her fiance and we could have make more connections but you just left! Do you even know what kind of deals we might have missed!? Why did you go to the restaurant? With whom did you flirt?"

"I did not! I was just eating like a normal citizen!"

"You are a king for god's sake! When are you finally understanding that you cant just do what you want!? I got a call from a reporter who told me about his colleagues having pictures of you inside that restaurant! How dare you to lie to me?"

"I did not! I never flirted with anyone!" I tried my best to not scream but I was annoyed, furious and devastated. Couldn't I live a normal life at least until the wedding? Was that too much to ask for?

"Mr. Xiao! What happened inside the restaurant?" Father asked Zhan-ge who turned towards him and told him the truth.

"Nothing, Sir. We just ate and then left. The waitress was interested in me, not in Yibo. No one knew about his identity due to the cap he was wearing."

That seemed to calm my father a little, he actually believed a bodyguard more than me, but he was still very angry. "Keep a close eye to him! Especially when you follow him to school starting tomorrow. I already called the university and they allowed you to attend to protect my son. Don't let any woman near him, understand!?"

"Yes, Sir." Zhan-ge answered and I could see he was not happy to be ordered around by a person like my father.

"And you!" Father pointed at me. "Don't you dare to do anything that can harm our reputation! This is my last warning. Let me remind you that my men are still watching that woman and her brat! Now go to your room! I put a few books inside for you to read. Mr. Xiao, I will prepare a room for you and your colleague. Starting tomorrow I want at least one of you to sleep here in order to watch my son. Clear?"

"Yes, Sir." Zhan-ge answered and followed me upstairs.

Once I was in my room I freaked out. I grabbed whatever was near me and smashed it onto the ground. I was angry, I was furious. I felt like a prisoner in my own life which more or less was the case.

"Calm down, Yibo." Zhan-ge said and I looked at him in disbelieve.

"Calm down? How the hell am I supposed to calm down!? Did you not see what happened just now? Huh!?" I yelled and threw a vase on the floor.

"I saw it. And I know you are angry. But nothing will change if you destroy your room."

"I don't need it anyway. I will move to Myanmar in two weeks, you forgot!? I can do whatever I want because its my father who needs to pay for this, not me! As no one really cares what I want, I will just enjoy my life until its over in two weeks." I shouted in frustration and turned around to look for more to destroy but Zhan-ge walked up to me with quick steps and turned me back to him.

"Calm down." He repeated and I glared at him.

"Don't tell me what to do! Who do you think you are!? You are here to protect me, not to order me around. Now let go of me or I will do something worse than destroying my room." I hissed and fought against him but of course I was not strong enough. Not being able to let out my frustration made only angrier. "Let go!"

"Fine." Zhan-ge said and let go of me. I stumbled backwards and hit the edge of the bed which made me fall on top of the bed. Zhan-ge did not lose a second to climb on top of me.

"What are you trying to do?" I hissed dangerously.

"I will make you calm down....using my own way." He smiled innocently and once again used me for his own benefits by kissing me while his hands held mine in place.

When he thought that I would let him have his way without defending myself, then he was wrong. I did not want to be a substitute for one of his women. I tried to free myself but it was not possible considering his strength, albeit I was pretty sure he was not using 100 %.

His tongue licked over my lips, asking to be let in but I pressed them together not giving him any chance.

"Come on, Yibo. Let me in." Zhan-ge whispered and licked my ear shell making me shuddering. "I know you like it when we kiss. Hm?"

He was right and that made me gritting my teeth. I felt his tongue sliding down my neck and when he bit it very softly I flinched. Not out of pain but I was scared he might left a mark there and my father would see it.

"Zhan-ge, no! Sto-" Zhan-ge used this chance to insert his tongue deep into my mouth. I fought against him but the longer his tongue played with mine and he sucked on my lips the weaker I got. Well, not weaker but calmer.

When I was furious only minutes ago, now the anger left second by second. Zhan-ge felt that and let go of my hands to gently hold my face for a deeper kiss.

Zhan-ge was right when he said I liked kissing. Kissing was addicting like a drug and right now it seems like Zhan-ge was my dealer. I know I should stop him, especially when we he was just using me to have fun. I hated it that only one of his kisses was enough to control my emotions within minutes.

'Didn't I tell myself I would have some fun before the wedding? Sure I was using my only friend but ... he was the one who started this. Next time I will be quicker in avoiding him. Right now.... right now I will use him just like he is using me. One kiss will not kill anyone and somehow I was actually calming down.' I thought and kissed back. I tried to stop thinking about the fact that kissing my friend was making me happy and ... craving for more. 

Zhan-ge smirked against my lips, I could feel that, but I ignored his satisfaction. This was only an exception. Only for today!

I don't know how long we kissed or what happened next because, as embarrassing as it might be, I fell asleep.

Xiao Zhan's POV

Hearing what that asshole said to his son made me furious. I always thought my parents were the worst when they did what they did but Wang James Huang was definitely right behind them.

All that man thought about was reputation, connection, money and status. He would do everything to make sure Yibo is marrying the princess. He was totally using that woman's feelings for Yibo for his own benefit and it seemed to work.

Yibo was very angry right now and I could see how helplessly he was. Not only in this moment but the whole day as well as yesterday. Everyone could see that he has no feelings for the princess except the princess herself. It was the first time I could understand the statement: Love is blind. She was so madly in love with Yibo that she could not see how Yibo really feels and every time Yibo said or did something which coincidentally matched with her, she thought they were fated.

And whenever they were close to each other or that woman kissed Yibo, I got very angry. The only thing that calmed me down was seeing how Yibo did not enjoyed their moments the slightest. After I watched Yibo for the whole day, be it with that princess or alone, I realized what I was trying to find out.

I always knew that I wanted to sleep with Yibo. Since the beginning I felt this urge to .... devour him but I also knew there was something else. And now I realized that it was not only physical desire for him, I actually fell in love with him. When it happened and how I don't know but it was not important right now.

Seeing him pushed into a corner by his own father with no way to escape or fight back, he looked so vulnerable that I wanted to protect him. Me being his bodyguard was the best thing that could happen and I will take my job very seriously. I knew he only saw a friend in me but I will change that. It shouldn't be that easy as I was 100 % sure he was jealous seeing other flirting with me. He surely had feelings for me too!

Just like HaoXuan decided to chase after his police officer, I will do the same with Yibo. I would chase after him and make him fall for me. I know I am not able to stop the wedding but I can at least show him how it feels to love someone and be loved back.

To be honest, I found my own thoughts totally cheesy especially when I was a successful playboy but .... I did not regret them.

I followed Yibo upstairs and the moment he was in his room he started to destroy it. He was more that furious and he was devastated not being able to go against his father. I knew he wanted to protect people dear to him. I understood that his father was unscrupulous and would actually do everything to prevent Yibo from hindering his plans.

Yibo started to shout and yell and I could see he was not seeing nor thinking clearly, he even yelled at me, saying hurtfull things he did not mean. I needed to calm him down as soon as possible and that is why I kissed him. Sure, there might be another way to calm him down but I knew that this one was the easiest and fastest (and most satisfying) way to accomplish this. Maybe I was take advantage of Yibo's vulnerability but I could not stop myself.

Once Yibo stopped fighting against me and kissed me back and smiled. 'I am sorry HaoXuan, but despite promising you to not sleep with him right away.... I cant stop now.'

I took Yibo's face into my hand and kissed him as deep as possible before starting to unbuttoning his shirt. I let my hand wander his chest up and down and heard a few muffled moans coming from Yibo. I took off his shirt and kissed his chest down to his hips. I stopped when I saw the bruise and once again I got angry. I took eyes off the bruise quickly and started to take off his pants before moving my lips back onto his, kiss him passionately.

When I felt no response coming from his side I looked at his eyes and saw them closed. Only seconds later I realized that he actually fell asleep and I laughed.

"Come one... really, Yibo? Now?" I asked him but got no answer. "I cant believe it..... you-... Forget it, only this time I will forgive you. Only this time...."

I shook my head in amusement before my eyes fell on his bruises again. I caressed them softly, took out the ointment and applied the medicine. Then I put away his clothes and walked to his wardrobe to get a pajama. Once I managed to dress him without throwing myself on him, I covered him with his blanket.

I saw a few books laying on the bedside table and when I read teh titels I gritted my teeth. All of them were about loosing virginity and how to have sex. I took the books and put them into a bag, deciding to take them with me. 'Sorry, Wang James Huang. He will not need these books. I am a far better teacher and can show him everything he needs to know ... and more.'

"Yibo..." I whispered into his ear. "Stop letting the princess touch you or I will have to punish you! You are mine and I hope you will realize your feelings for me soon. Don't let me wait." I gave him a last long kiss and left with the books. I hoped he would wake up but he was in a deep slumber.

Once I was home I took off my shoes and walked towards the kitchen to get myself another beer. HaoXuan seemed to be not at home, probably stalking his target. I chuckled about the fact that we both seemed to have fallen in love unintentionally. Whereas my future with Yibo has not chances, HaoXuan was better off. It would not be easy to make Officer Song fall for him but .... as I know my friend was would not give up.

After I drank my beer, I walked up the stairs towards my room when I heard something out of HaoXuan's room. 'He is home?' I thought surprised and walked up to his bedroom. The door was not closed and I walked in. But before I could say something I stopped and just stood there. The scenario in front of me was ... yeah, what was it? Interesting? Yes. Unexpected? Definitely! Unpleasant to see? Not at all.

'Maybe I should try this too someday?' I thought amused. HaoXuan, who was concentrated the whole time, looked up and smirked mischievously before signalizing me to get out. I raised my brows but walked out of the room as quiet as I could.

I waited in my room until I heard a familiar voice. "You- You freaking pervert asshole! I will file charges against you! You just wait! Stay way from me! I swear I will ... Argh-. I hate you! Pervert!"

I looked out of the room and could see Officer Song running down the stairs with a tomato red face and messy clothes. As if he was chased by the devil himself, which actually was kind of the truth considering HaoXuan's nature, he left the house as fast as he could.

"You are back early..." HaoXuan smirked and I looked at him.

"Well, sorry but I live here too. Next time close your door and put a note on it. Something like 'Devouring my meal, please do not disturb' for example." I answered amused.

"I'll remember it for the next time."

"You seem to be very satisfied right now, huh? Had a lot of fun?"

"You saw it, or not?" He grinned licked over his lips. "But I am sure he had just as much fun as me."

"If you say so.... But it looked interesting. Never thought you like this stuff..."

"Neither did I. But it seems like my Ji Yang is the one who gets totally excited over this. But hey, I will do everything for him and to be honest ... it does make a lot of fun. I realized it when he handcuffed me yesterday but today.... I only returned the favor. He was really really excited."

"Sure. That must be the reason why he cursed the hell out of you. Poor Officer... being chased my the devil ....Aren't you scared he might run far away?" I asked him amused and he grinned.

"Nah, he will not. Even if, he cant run away from me. I will find him everywhere. Moreover... I bet after tonight he totally forgot about that MianMian and will only have my image in his mind."

"I doubt that.... ." I hinted at what I saw earlier and laughed when he pouted.

"Well.... my voice and my touches he will surely remember. Believe me when I say that very soon he will fell in love with me, that is if didn't already."

"Poor Officer Song... had to leave this house being in this condition." I shook my head and laughed again. I told my grinning friend to take a shower and went to bed.

To be honest I was quite jealous that HaoXuan could do all these things while I couldn't. But my friend was like this. Wild and unruly, tying his best to get what he wants. But he would never do something the other did not want and I bet, if Officer Song really truly did not want what happened earlier, HaoXuan would have definitely stopped.

'I guess Officer Song is just like Yibo, slow in understanding their own feelings. But I think right now Officer Song is closer to the truth than Yibo... Maybe I should help Yibo a little.' I thought and tried to made plans so that he would realize about his feelings.

to be continue.....

Hey, Xiao Zhan, tell me what you saw! I want to know too!! 

I guess HaoXuan has more .... achievements in his love life as Xiao Zhan right now ^^ At least whatever Xiao Zhan saw seemed to be interesting. I like it that he decided to chase Yibo now. Lets see where this brings him.... :)
