    Chapter 34

    When he woke up again, Tan Zhiyu found that Xing Yang had indeed left his side.

    Boss Xing said he was going home to feed the cat, and the blurred image of him fastening his clothes looked just like a dissatisfied customer, a cold man who wouldn’t even leave a few bills on the bedside table before leaving.

    Why isn’t he back…

    That fat cat seemed to be more attractive than himself.

    Tan Zhiyu had never imagined that he would dare to compete for affection with a cat. He lay in bed, hugging the small bear that Xing Yang gave him, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He felt a bit humble.

    Such a bright and shiny beauty like him, delivered right to Xing Yang’s door, and after a passionate night until three-thirty, he rubbed his waist and went next door to feed the cat and hasn’t returned, which made Tan Zhiyu feel extremely insecure.

    This man is really hard to deal with!!

    Since he couldn’t sleep anyway, he scrolled through Weibo, where recently there were photos from the set, showing his handsome face again. His photos often appeared on trending searches, something Tan Zhiyu was already used to. However, there was also a trending topic that caught his attention: 【President Chi is secretly happy again; the life of a pampered man】.

    That President Chi referred to the one who had tortured his wife before finally winning back the divine being—Chi Yanchuan.

    His lover, Jiang Ye, seemed to share a few similarities with Xing Yang—silent, stable, and gentle. To say that Chi Yanchuan wasn’t a likable character would be accurate; he was just another rich kid who looked down on people because he hailed from wealth.

    How did he manage to win Jiang Ye back?

    Chi Yanchuan was originally an award-winning actor, who left the entertainment industry after inheriting the family business. Now, he shared family happiness on Weibo every day; yesterday, he even received an everlasting flower from Jiang Ye for Children’s Day.

    Tsk…

    How did he do it?

    So, he opened Chi Yanchuan’s WeChat and asked, 【How did you attract your wife? What do you do every day?】

    Chi Yanchuan responded anxiously: 【?】

    Tan Zhiyu tossed his marriage certificate, which was pixelated, over: 【Please teach me.】

    Seeing this, Chi Yanchuan relaxed a bit since it wasn’t based on his own wife and quickly sent over a dozen product links.

    《Omega Attractiveness Law》《Couple Psychology》《Ten Details You Shouldn’t Get Wrong, You Will Succeed》《Seven Micro-Expressions to See Through the Heart》《How to Take the Initiative》

    Chi Yanchuan: 【Tested and effective!】

    Tan Zhiyu: 【Thank you】(pressing palms together)

    Tan Zhiyu had done well in high school and college and had worked for many years without reading. Besides, he was never the kind of person who would be easily fooled, so…

    These books…

    At first glance, they didn’t seem too bad!

    After making the purchase, he couldn’t sleep. Even with just a wall separating them, he missed Xing Yang.

    What to do? He really wanted him.

    On the other side, after feeding the fat cat, Xing Yang had to leave after also having some heart protection snacks with it. He felt guilty for spending so little time with the cat recently.

    However, his back really did hurt; he had thought about just sleeping at home, but he had promised someone he would go back to accompany him.

    As he opened the door,

    Tan Zhiyu was bare-chested, with claw marks all over his back and chest, the thin skin’s texture clear, leading down to his V-line.

    The alpha was hugging the little bear, leaning against the marble wall in the hallway, waiting for him with hopeful eyes.

    “I thought you forgot about me.” Tan Zhiyu stood up and walked towards him, naturally lowering his head to bury his face into Xing Yang’s neck and shoulder.

    Just an hour ago, they had been taking a shower together in the bathroom, and they still smelled the same from the body wash.

    “I promised you that I’d sleep with you. How could I not come?”

    “I thought you were going to pull up your pants and leave, be an unfaithful man and not take responsibility.”

    Who is really the alpha here?

    “Am I not here?”

    “It was you who wanted to date me, and you have to prioritize me, otherwise, I’ll dump you.”

    “Okay.” Xing Yang whispered with a chuckle, “I’ll remember that.”

    Tan Zhiyu moved to the side to let him enter the room.

    Xing Yang wrapped his arms around Tan Zhiyu’s back, leading him further into the room. They fell into the soft large bed, and from behind, he teased, “You changed the password but didn’t tell me the code…”

    Is this what he calls testing?

    “You’re being insincere. It’s easy for me to dump you.”

    Xing Yang chuckled softly, holding his hand and kissing it, “Your birthday.”

    “That’s more like it…”

    Tan Zhiyu didn’t dig deeper into whether this was true or not. Anyway, he was satisfied just hearing it. Xing Yang was tired, and he had to nudge him to get a goodnight kiss; he was already breathing steadily.

    Holding onto the warm person, Tan Zhiyu felt for the first time a sense of fulfillment, an appreciation for the bedroom. He began to grow attached to this bed.

    The bedroom was no longer just a place for him to recharge his sleep; it had become an ocean for him and Xing Yang to kiss.

    Why did he ever think Xing Yang looked ordinary?

    Judging someone solely by their appearance to determine that first impression, that’s truly contemptible.

    Looks are predestined; Xing Yang is so gentle that even if he got angry with him, he would only lightly slap him in return, and besides, it felt good.

    The next morning, Xing Yang should have taken a day off but was forced to get up early.

    Investment payments required a meeting, and stock dividends needed to be discussed again. The construction of Star Sea Amusement Park was officially underway.

    Xing Yang made breakfast, two bowls of porridge and creamy pasta. Just as he was about to leave, the bedroom door opened.

    “Why aren’t you sleeping a little longer?” Xing Yang took off his apron and hung it up.

    After working late, Xing Yang took a while to recuperate. He walked lightly but felt awkward in some spots, not too comfortable.

    Tan Zhiyu: “Are you really leaving like this?”

    Xing Yang: “What else would I do?”

    “The house is clean, breakfast is ready, and your schedule starts in the afternoon, so you don’t need to wake up early.”

    Tan Zhiyu: “?”

    Tan Zhiyu stared dumbfounded as Xing Yang changed clothes for himself, momentarily unable to comprehend how he could be so cold!

    What was the difference from before “testing”? Was it that…

    Xing Yang just noticed he had cried yesterday and wanted to comfort him, or was it merely that he saw his handsome face and made an excuse to sleep a bit?

    How could he! Not even a good morning kiss!!

    He ran out after him! Does Xing Yang still not know what’s going on?

    Heh, what a cold-hearted man.

    “You think that just because you leave like this, I’ll bow my head and take the initiative to get close to you?” Tan Zhiyu leaned against the door, inexplicably saying.

    Xing Yang tugged at his tie: “What are you saying?”

    He hadn’t heard clearly; he had been focused on the report sent by Secretary Wang about the star endorsements: “I’m leaving. There’s no time for the morning meeting.”

    Tan Zhiyu: “Oh…”

    He wanted to smash Xing Yang’s phone.

    What does Xing Yang mean? Last night was so passionate, yet now in the early morning, he had to pull up his pants and leave. Was last night not vigorous enough? !!!!!

    He gritted his teeth, vowing that next time he would make Boss Xing so tired that he couldn’t get out of bed, it was definitely his fault! No! Today was a goji berry meal.

    As Xing Yang reached the door to change his shoes, he suddenly turned around: “Oh right.”

    “What is it? Did you forget something?” Tan Zhiyu stood up from the sofa, oddly looking forward to asking.

    “Make sure to eat breakfast; reheating the pasta will make it too soft.”

    Tan Zhiyu: “… Oh.”

    Seeing the defiant look on his face, Xing Yang chuckled softly: “Just kidding.”

    He walked over and kissed the side of Tan Zhiyu’s face, which tasted of cream.

    “Good morning kiss.”

    It was gentle and sweet.

    Tan Zhiyu murmured: “I never said you could do that; you initiated it yourself.”

    “Yes, yes, dear Mr. Tan, I’m heading to the company now; can you go back to sleep a little longer?”

    “We are dating, right?” Tan Zhiyu asked.

    “Yes.” Xing Yang replied.

    “Yesterday you didn’t give me a goodnight kiss.”

    Xing Yang leaned down and kissed the other side of his face: “Consider it made up.”

    “This is you coming over on your own.”

    Xing Yang fondly nodded: “Yes, yes—”

    “Well then, since I’ve never dated before, you should be a little accommodating to me in the future. Go to work now.”

    Xing Yang smiled, his dimples evident: “Alright, alright—”

    What beautiful dimples…

    He wanted to kiss him one more time.

    How to trick him? Tan Zhiyu decided he would thoroughly digest the books Chi Yanchuan gave him, and in the future, he would definitely make Xing Yang become that kind of domineering CEO.

    With teary eyes, he pressed himself on the bed, using a deep, husky voice: “Say you love me, I’ll give you my life.” That kind of “life-giving literature” CEO.

    He was certain he could dazzle Xing Yang to the point of foolishness. He swore he would!!!

    After a long while, Xing Yang finally went out, just as he stepped outside, he rubbed his waist, looking a bit twisted.

    He hoped he could pamper Mr. Tan a little; next time he wouldn’t be so forceful…

    Really could hardly walk…
