Meng Yao who just received the news of canceling of his deal with Japanese company scoffed. He couldn't believe what suddenly happened that his entire business was at stake. He quickly phoned the Japanese company for their sudden change of decision. They told him that someone informed them about the ugly things about Mengs and their company.

"Damn it!" Meng Yao hit the car door. "How did they find about us?! Didn't you hide our information from them?" Meng Yao glared at his secretary who just nodded his head. "Shit! Now drive to my apartment. I want to make everything clear to me."

After a few minutes, Meng Yao reached his apartment. He quickly took a shower and slipped into bathrobes. Taking a bottle of wine, he sat on the couch.

"Wang Yibo..." Meng Yao let out a heavy breath. "It's all because of you. I won't spare you!" He put his lips on the mouth of the bottle and drank the wine until he emptied one-fourth of the drink. "Even Xiao Zhan won't do anything. Your father dared to mess with me!? Now just get ready to face the consequences.

Suddenly the phone rang and he turned his head in the direction of the sound. Cursing, he received the call. When he answered the phone, an annoyed expression was evident on his face but as he started talking on the phone, his expressions changed into a devastating one. When his phone call was ended, the phone in his hand slipped and fell on the ground, breaking it.

"No! No! Nooo!" Meng Yao collapsed on the floor. "It...it cannot happen. No!" Meng Yao's hands were trembling badly. "How!? How my empire collapsed in a few minutes!? How...how everyone dumped us?!" Meng Yao looked at the wall blankly. "How did the Meng Groups get exposed!!?"

°°°°°°°°°°°

"Yibo, are you mad at me?" Zhan pouted while Yibo turned his head away from Zhan. "Yibo...look at me. Yiibooooo..."

Zhan and Yibo were sitting on the couch while Zhan was pleading Yibo and the latter was reluctant to forgive Zhan.

"What!?" Yibo said, irritated.

"Aigooo...you are scolding me!" Zhan made a babyface. "I want to cry. Aaaaaa..."

"Stop being childish." Yibo glared at him. "What do you want?"

"My boyfriend's attention," Zhan said making puppy eyes.

"Why?!" Yibo arched his brows. "You ignored me during breakfast and then left me alone. How come you suddenly remembered me!?"

"Yibo, I am sorry," Zhan said snaking his arms around Yibo's waist.

Suddenly Zhan's phone rang and he looked at the display. "Woah! It's Hao Xuan." Zhan smiled and put the phone on speaker.

"Hm...Hao Xuan, what's up?"

"Zhan, did you watch the news?"

"What news?"

"Idiot Zhan, turn on the television and check the news. If you are too lazy to do that, then open your phone and check it. It's about Mengs."

"Mn. I am checking."

Zhan ended the call while a smile formed on his face. Yibo frowned on seeing the sudden smile on his boyfriend's face.

"Why are you smiling?" Yibo arched his brows. "Why the news is about Mengs?! What did they do this time?"

"Check it yourself," Zhan said as he leaned his back, resting on the couch and closed his eyes.

Yibo shook his head and turned on the TV. Yibo's eyes almost popped out seeing the headlines.

'THE MENG GROUPS HAS COLLAPSED!'

"Zhan! What is this!?" Yibo traced Zhan while his eyes were stuck to the TV screen. "The Meng groups..."

"They got what they deserved." A smirk appeared in his face. "They dared to lay their dirty eyes on you and expected nothing in return!? Impossible!" Zhan growled.

"Zhan!" Yibo looked at Zhan while shock was written all over his face. "Y-you did this f-for me?"

"Of course!" Zhan's gaze grew darker. "I protect what is mine. I also got the news that they were planning to torture you." Zhan's blood boiled on remembering the news. "How. Did. They. Think. That. I. Will. Let. Them. Go easily!?" Zhan gritted his teeth while he smacked the table in front of them.

"Zhan, calm down." Yibo hugged Zhan tightly.

"Yibo..."

"Shhh...calm down. Everything is alright." Yibo tightened his grip even more while his hand glided through Zhan's soft hair, messaging the scalp.

Zhan felt an unknown warmth and calmness engulfing him through the hug. After a few seconds, Zhan closed his eyes, nuzzling into Yibo's neck while his arms got wrapped around Yibo.

Yibo smiled as he felt the other relaxed in his arms. He gently broke the hug and looked into Zhan's eyes. "ZhanZhan, you know, whatever you do, I cannot help but fall deeply in love with you." Yibo smiled and softly implanted a soft kiss on Zhan's forehead. "Thank you ZhanZhan." Yibo smiled.

Zhan smiled. "Don't you want to check the news how the Meng groups got collapsed?" Zhan took out his phone and gave it to Yibo.

"Huh!?" Yibo's jaws slacked on reading the news. "All the companies took back their shares and boycotted against the Meng! How?"

A triumphant smirk crept over Zhan's face. He looked at Yibo. "Yibo, watch the news. I am coming in a few minutes." Saying so Zhan went to his room while Yibo watched the news. On reaching his room, Zhan closed the door. A big smile appeared on his face as he remembered something.

*flashback*

Zhan left Yibo in the morning after breakfast and left to meet the Japanese company investors before Meng Yao. They reached the hotel where the investors of the Japanese company were resting.

"Sorry for the trouble but we had to come this way. It's really urgent." Yu Bin said bowing to the CEO of the Japanese company.

"It's okay. Can you please tell us what brought you here? I have a business meeting at 10 am." The CEO of the Japanese company said politely.

"That's why we came here," Zhan said maintaining his composure. "Please don't sign any contract with the Meng Groups."

"Mr. Sean, that deal is a very big deal for us. It's highly profitable. Why won't I sign it?!" The CEO asked, sitting on the couch while Zhan and Yu Bin were sitting on the other couch.

"Mr. CEO, actually the Meng Groups aren't the same as they seem to be." Yu Bin said in a low voice and gave a pen drive to the CEO of the Japanese Company. "Please put this pen drive to the laptop and you will find why we are forbidding you to sign the deal."

The CEO of the Japanese company looked at them and then drifted his gaze to the laptop. His eyes widened in watching a few videos.

"These..." The CEO looked at Yu Bin and Zhan.

"This is the truth about the Meng Groups, Mr. Takumi." Zhan sighed. "They are not the gentlemen as they seem to appear. CEO Meng Yao is the most wanted and most dreaded mafia leader ever. They threaten other companies to sign contracts with them. And the clips which you are watching are some proofs about their crimes." Zhan explained and then told the CEO about the attack of the Mengs on him and Yibo in the woods.

"Thank you, Mr. Sean, for helping us." The CEO stretched his hand for a handshake. "If you weren't here to warn us, then perhaps I would have committed one of the greatest mistakes of my life."

"No mention please." Zhan smiled. "Being a CEO, I think it's my duty to help other CEOs from falling into the traps."

"Mr. Sean, can we sign a contract with your company? I have heard a lot about you." The CEO smiled with hope in his eyes. "Our Company is a good one and we do use herbal things for skincare products."

"Mr. Takumi, your company is really a famous company and I would like to be your business partner." Zhan smiled gently.

"Thank you, Mr. Sean." The CEO smiled. "Then, I think we should sign the contract as soon as possible. How about signing tomorrow?"

"Mr. Takumi, I may not be able to come tomorrow." Zhan gently bowed to him. "But my business partner Li Bowen will take care of this. Sorry for the inconvenience."

"CEO Li is your business partner!?" The CEO gasped. "No doubt both of you are so efficient at such a young age."

"I hope you don't have a problem if Li Bowen comes to sign the contract." Zhan smiled.

"Of course, we don't have any problem." The CEO smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Takumi." Zhan and Yu Bin stood up. "I think we should leave. We have to take care of certain things."

"Sure." The CEO smiled and both Zhan and Yu Bin left the hotel.

"I am sure Meng Yao will die due to heart attack." Yu Bin chuckled while driving the car. "What an intellectual you are Zhan! Canceling the deal with Mengs, you took the deal for yourself. Really Zhan, I really admire you."

"This is beginning for Meng Yao," Zhan said messaging the area between his brows. "It's time for Mengs to collapse." Zhan took out his phone and called Xuan Lu.

"Shijie, ask our father to cancel his contracts and deals with Meng Groups"

"Zhan, are you sure? It's a risky step."

"Shijie, I have already planned everything. I cannot go back now. The Mengs will collapse today for sure. I have already told Hao Xuan about it. Ziyi's company don't have relations with Meng Groups, so I didn't tell her."

"Okay."

Zhan ended the call and called Li Bowen.

"Bowen, everything is alright. Send the video clips of Meng Yao and his crimes which Yu Bin sent to you to the media. Don't miss a single clip."

"Mn."

Ending the call, Zhan closed his eyes and leaned back to rest his back on the car seat.

"Xiao Zhan, you are really ruthless when it comes to destroying someone." Yu Bin said making a pity fave while his eyes were focused on the road.

"It has to be done, officer Yu," Zhan said with his eyes closed. "Just arrest Meng Yao but don't be too harsh on him. I still have to confirm something about him. Keep him in jail for 3-4 days and then let him out."

"Copy that young master Xiao." Yu Bin chuckled. "Zhan, I really feel how lucky Yibo is to have you."

"Hm?" A faint smile appeared on Zhan's lips and he gently opened his eyes to look at Yu Bin.

"You are so protective of Yibo and your friends. Look at me, I feel so lonely." Yu Bin said making a sad face.

"Yu Bin, I think I know a big secret about your love life and I am not going to tell it now. Drive me home. Yibo must be waiting for me."

*end of flashback*

Zhan washed his face and went downstairs to join Yibo.

"What took you so long?" Yibo said while he was watching the news.

"I am sorry sweetheart." Zhan put his head on his boyfriend's shoulder. "I am not feeling well. I think I need warm hugs."

"You are so tricky." Yibo smiled and side hugged Zhan. "By the way, do you know that all the companies boycott Meng Groups? All companies broke their contract with them." Yibo told Zhan frowned upon not received any expressions for Zhan. "Hey! What's wrong with you? Why aren't you surprised by this news?"

"Yibo..." Zhan nuzzled into the other's warm neck.

"Hm?" Yibo hummed as a pair of strong arms snaked around his waist.

"You are so soft." Zhan hugged Yibo tightly. "You smell so nice."

"Zhan..." Yibo closed his eyes, feeling soft feather-like kisses on his neck.

Zhan's lips traveled from Yibo's neck and captured his lips. Yibo hummed in the kiss when Zhan's hands touched his soft bare skin under his shirt. Zhan kissed Yibo slowly yet passionately making the latter melt in his arms.

After kissing for a few minutes, Zhan broke the kiss. "You are so beautiful Yibo," Zhan said cupping Yibo's face while the latter looked at Zhan with his half-closed lids. "You are so innocent. You know, it's too tough for me not to devour you."

"Who is holding you back?" Yibo said with a faint smile.

"I won't do anything to you until our marriage." Zhan kissed Yibo's forehead and hugged him. "Yibo, I feel so tired. Can you help me to fall asleep?"

"Sure." Yibo smiled and tapped on his thighs. "Here. Put your head on my lap and sleep." Yibo smiled.

Zhan smiled and the other's innocence. 'How did this cute Yibo act as a playboy? Too soft for being a jerk.' Zhan put his head on Yibo's lap and lifted his legs on the couch. Yibo softly glided his fingers through Zhan's hair, messaging the scalp to make the latter relax.

Zhan tried to stay awake and look at Yibo but the latter's hands were so efficient that his soft touches made Zhan's lids heavy and soon sleep conquered him.

*takes out a deep breath*

I have a few words to say

1. My exams are getting started from March 12 and with end on 25th March. During this time I won't be able to update any of my stories.

2. This is more important one.

After the school exams, I have a lot of entrance exams for college. On 3rd May, there is one of the biggest Medical entrance exam in my country. In the middle of May, there is another exam. Then on 1st June, 16th June and so on, I have many exams.

So I had two options.

I. To take hiatus for two months and completely concentrate on studies and crack any one of the entrance exams.

II. If I fail to crack any of the entrance exams. Then I have to take hiatus for 1 year and go to another state for coaching classes.

So I have decided to choose option I. 1 year without wattpad will be a new hell for me. So I decided to take the 1st option. But with a few changes. I will not take complete hiatus from wattpad for 3 months. I will update my stories but they will be very very slow. Even slower than tortoise or snail. So, please do compromise with me for this trouble.

And my seniors and jiejies and Shijie,

Please do bless me so that I can crack any one of the entrance exams with good marks and find a good college and continue wattpading. *bows* *touches feet for blessings*
