TCBHIWAF Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Ill Intentions

After the meal, the sun was just right.

The two went to the Seaside, found a comfortable spot, and lay down on beach chairs to bask in the sun.

The warm sunlight sprinkled over them, dispelling the fatigue from the morning’s work discussions.

Lin Yu squinted slightly, feeling the caress of the sea breeze, and said contentedly, “Sunbathing is so comfortable.”

Ye Xingchen turned to look at him, his eyes full of tenderness: “Yeah, it’s good to relax once in a while.”

After basking in the sun for a while, the two got up and strolled along the coastline.

The waves gently lapped at the beach, leaving shallow marks.

Lin Yu bent down to pick up a seashell, examining it carefully in the sunlight. The patterns on the shell’s surface were colorful under the refraction of the sun.

He smiled and handed it to Ye Xingchen, “Look, this shell is so pretty.”

Ye Xingchen took the shell and looked at it.

“Not bad, let’s take it back and collect it.”

Lin Yu was taken aback, then laughed, “It’s just a seashell, it’s not like it needs to be collected.”

Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu intently, and said seriously, “I cherish everything you give me.”

As soon as these words were spoken, an ambiguous atmosphere instantly filled the space between them.

Lin Yu’s face flushed slightly, his eyes darting around a bit, and he stammered, “Ye Xingchen, do you know that sometimes when you talk… it makes me feel…”

Before Lin Yu could finish speaking, Ye Xingchen suddenly reached out and pulled him closer, then brought him in front of him and sat down on the sand, letting Lin Yu sit between his legs, embracing him.

Lin Yu was a little dazed by this sudden action, and hurriedly asked, “What… what are you doing?”

Ye Xingchen rested his chin lightly on Lin Yu’s shoulder and said softly, “Just sit here for a while.”

Lin Yu remembered that Ye Xingchen usually loved cleanliness, and asked suspiciously, “Aren’t you the most cleanliness-loving person? You’re just sitting on the ground?”

Ye Xingchen tightened his arms, hugging Lin Yu even tighter, and whispered in his ear, “I just don’t like other people touching me. If others misunderstand that I have a cleanliness fetish, then so be it. But you’re different, you can touch me however you want.”

The warm breath sprayed on Lin Yu’s ear, causing him to tremble slightly, and a blush spread across his face.

Lin Yu’s heart was full of sweetness and shyness. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Xingchen directly pressed him into his arms.

In the distance, a woman wearing black sunglasses, a black mask, and a black baseball cap, with one hand still in a bandage, was holding a telephoto camera, a flash of excitement in her eyes.

She had been staring intently at Lin Yu and Ye Xingchen, finally capturing their intimate behavior. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

She murmured to herself, “Finally, I finally got the shot.” She kept pressing the shutter, recording the scene of the two.

Here, Lin Yu slowly came back to his senses, turned around, and faced Ye Xingchen.

He reached out and gently stroked Ye Xingchen’s face, his fingertips slowly sliding along his contours, his eyes full of deep affection.

Ye Xingchen also gazed at Lin Yu, his eyes burning and focused, raising his hand to hold Lin Yu’s hand, and gently kissing the back of his hand.

Then, Ye Xingchen lowered his head slightly, their noses gently touching, their breaths mingling together.

Lin Yu tilted his head slightly, closed his eyes, and Ye Xingchen kissed him, the kiss was gentle and passionate, as if to pour all their love into it.

The sound of the waves and the wind seemed to stop at this moment, and the whole world seemed to be left with only the two of them.

After a long time, the two slowly separated, forehead to forehead, gazing at each other, their eyes full of love and attachment.

Ye Xingchen said softly, “No matter what the future holds, I will never let go of your hand.”

Lin Yu nodded gently, his voice trembling slightly, “Me neither.”

And the woman in the distance had photographed all these intimate actions…

A complex look flashed in her eyes, as if she was calculating something, then she quietly put away the camera, and her figure slowly disappeared at the end of the beach.

The two were immersed in this sweet atmosphere for a long time before slowly getting up, holding hands and continuing to stroll along the coastline.

The setting sun gradually slanted to the west, dyeing the sea into a crimson color, and the afterglow sprinkled on them, casting long shadows.

Back at the villa, Ye Xingchen turned on the stereo, and soothing music flowed in the room.

Lin Yu walked to the window and gently pulled the curtains, the light in the room became soft and ambiguous.

Ye Xingchen hugged Lin Yu from behind, gently kissing his neck, and Lin Yu tilted his head slightly, giving him more response.

Ye Xingchen turned Lin Yu around, and the two hugged each other and danced slowly in the living room, their footsteps moving gently to the rhythm of the music.

Lin Yu’s head rested on Ye Xingchen’s shoulder, feeling each other’s heartbeat. At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world was only them and this soft music.

After the dance, Ye Xingchen led Lin Yu to the sofa, and the two sat down side by side.

Ye Xingchen picked up the fruit on the table, carefully cut it into small pieces, and used a toothpick to pick up a piece and feed it to Lin Yu’s mouth. Lin Yu smiled and opened his mouth to eat it, and then fed the same to Ye Xingchen.

…

On the other side.

After returning home, the mysterious woman did not rush to spread the photos.

She sat at the table, a smug and cunning expression on her face, “As long as there is enough money, she can still consider not sending them out. After all, no one would refuse money.”

The next day, Ye Xingchen went to work as usual.

Not long after arriving at the office, Secretary Zhang brought in a courier, saying it had just arrived.

Ye Xingchen looked at the courier without a sender and felt a trace of doubt in his heart.

He gently tore open the package. Inside was an envelope and several photos.

The first photo was exactly the scene of him and Lin Yu interacting intimately on the beach yesterday.

There were also photos of them watching the stars on the mountaintop.

There were even photos of them kissing in the snow abroad.

…

Ye Xingchen’s face instantly darkened. He opened the envelope, inside was a note with a phone number and a line of text.

[If you don’t want the photos to be leaked, contact me at this number.]

Ye Xingchen squeezed the note in his hand slightly, his knuckles turning white, and a flash of anger and determination flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the person behind this was ill-intentioned and obviously wanted to make a big deal out of it and seek benefits.

After Ye Xingchen saw these photos and notes, his brows furrowed slightly, and multiple thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

He realized that this might be an opportunity to make his relationship with Lin Yu public, but before that, he had to deal with his engagement with Qin Wanwan.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Xingchen immediately called Qin Wanwan.

“Qin Wanwan, I need your help with something. Let’s issue a statement saying that we are just acting together due to family arrangements and have no romantic relationship.”

Qin Wanwan on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then sighed softly!

“Okay, you’re the sugar daddy, you can decide. I also thought that this marriage contract was a restraint and it was time to make a break.”

Soon, Ye Xingchen and Qin Wanwan simultaneously issued statements on their respective social accounts, stating that the two were only engaged in marriage due to family interests and had no romantic relationship.

This news instantly exploded on the Internet. Netizens discussed it, and various speculations and comments flooded in.

[How could there be no romantic relationship???]

[What’s going on? It’s not easy for a woman to appear next to the Capital City Prince.]

[I felt something was wrong before. How could he suddenly have a fiancée…]
