Chapter 243 A Forced Melon Can Be Very Sweet

As night fell, inside a luxurious villa on Main Star, men and women dressed to the nines mingled, their every gesture exuding the noble and elegant air of the upper class.

Three women make a drama, and even though they were the wives of high-ranking federal officials or influential figures on Main Star, they still couldn’t resist gossiping and digging for dirt.

“I heard Miss Su will be performing her new song tonight.”

“Will her rumored boyfriend show up?”

“That mysterious man always stays behind the scenes. I really want to see who he is.”

“Grandpa Su holds a banquet every three years, and the General never misses it. Will he come this time? Have you seen the Star Network forums? Will he bring his little lover to the party?”

“Little lover? Would a serious and upright man like the General play the sugar daddy game?”

At that moment, two tall and slender figures walked in through the villa’s carved gates. The man, who was half a head taller than everyone else, wore a well-tailored black suit, which accentuated his tall and sturdy physique and imposing presence.

The chattering in the banquet hall came to an abrupt halt as a flurry of gazes, some curious, some probing, some fervent, and some with hidden disdain, swept over the man in the white suit.

Zhou Zhou’s bangs were swept back, revealing a fair and handsome forehead. His thick eyebrows slanted towards his temples, and his slightly upturned phoenix eyes seemed to sparkle with flowing light. His red, thin lips were slightly raised in a faint smile, and his whole person exuded a lazy, rogue-like aura.

At that moment, the dazzling lights fell on the two of them, casting a layer of dazzling brilliance.

The aloof and handsome General Pei versus the rogueish, long-legged, and slender-waisted little fox.

“Damn, my nose is itchy.” Someone in the crowd murmured softly.

“Good heavens! You’re bleeding from your nose!” The man next to him exclaimed, his face full of astonishment.

“To be able to witness the General being gay in my lifetime, I have no regrets even if I die.” A girl with cute, permed hair covered her nose, completely dazed by the sight. The man next to her quickly pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered his girlfriend’s nose and mouth, half-embracing her as he walked towards the restroom.

General Pei was undoubtedly the central figure of this banquet, especially since he was accompanied by a man suspected to be his little lover.

Su Wanxing walked through the crowd, heading straight for Pei Yanlie. Coincidentally, he was wearing a white suit similar to Zhou Zhou’s. Although he was slightly shorter than Zhou Zhou, his handsome appearance was impeccable.

“General, I’m very glad you could take time out of your busy schedule to attend my grandfather’s birthday banquet. My grandfather is waiting for you in the lounge on the second floor. Please.” Su Wanxing bowed slightly, gesturing for Pei Yanlie to go upstairs, his proper and elegant posture revealing the upbringing of the Su family’s young master.

His gaze shifted to the squinting Zhou Zhou, a strange emotion flashing quickly in his eyes, and then he politely smiled: “My grandfather insisted on talking to the General alone, so…”

The meaning in his words was self-evident. Zhou Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his eyes to look at the expressionless man. Pei Yanlie lowered his eyes to meet his gaze, reached out and brushed away a small strand of hair that had fallen between Zhou Zhou’s eyebrows on the right side of his face, “Don’t run around, I’ll have A’Hu follow you.”

[Who is A’Hu…]

Zhou Zhou thought of Pei Yanlie’s bodyguard in the book, and his eyelids twitched. A’Hu and A’Biao, and now there’s A’Hu?

A’Hu responded and came behind Zhou Zhou, his strong figure almost bursting through his suit. His face was cold, hard, and dark, unsmiling. Children would avoid him and cry.

Before leaving, Pei Yanlie reiterated: “Don’t leave the banquet hall, wait for me to come back obediently.”

Zhou Zhou lazily said “Okay,” and hooked the corners of his lips, looking at Su Wanxing’s darkened face, the joy in his eyes contrasting with the other’s expression.

Su Wanxing suppressed the surging jealousy in his heart, his hand behind his back pinching the flesh of his palm hard.

Little fox spirit, I’ll see how long you can be smug!

Thinking of what he had traded with the research institute, Su Wanxing’s brow smoothed out, and the anger in his heart was swept away.

Soon, the person next to General Pei can only be me.

[Sometimes a dark face, sometimes a perverted smile, could it be a case of unrequited love, a bit of a mental problem?]

Zhou Zhou frowned, observing his expression with mixed feelings.

Pei Yanlie squeezed the soft flesh of his palm, and Zhou Zhou withdrew his hand, warning him in his mind to be careful of Su Wanxing.

Pei Yanlie nodded almost imperceptibly, and strode towards the second floor.

The surrounding guests wanted to get close to Zhou Zhou and strike up a conversation, but the strong presence of that huge man’s eyes was too terrifying, and no one dared to approach.

The banquet hall became lively again, and Zhou Zhou slowly walked to the wine tasting area, casually taking a glass of light golden wine that emitted a mist.

He lightly lifted his chin, took a sip, and listlessly looked around at the various guests, until he saw a familiar figure.

That’s, Little Mustache?

Little Mustache’s unchanging white shirt and glasses were gone. At this time, his whole temperament was completely different from before, as if he had been greatly stimulated.

Is this the effect of being dumped?

Zhou Zhou slowly shook the wine in his glass, sighing: “It seems that being dumped is a good thing. With his appearance and figure, why worry about being single?”

Hu Wenxu seemed to have just seen him, and a hint of pain flashed in his eyes. He hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind to walk up to Zhou Zhou.

“Zhou Zhou, can we talk?” His voice was completely hoarse, and his reddened eyes were vaguely moist.

Zhou Zhou looked at the clearly haggard Hu Wenxu in front of him, and then looked towards the second floor. Thinking that Pei Yanlie wouldn’t be able to leave for a while, he nodded.

It’s time to make a clean break, let Hu Wenxu recognize the facts, love cannot be forced, and a forced melon is not sweet.

Zhou Zhou covered his mouth and coughed lightly, his mind uncontrollably recalling how he had been forcibly bent by Pei Yanlie in the first place, feeling a little guilty for some reason.

Facts have proved that a forced melon can also be very sweet. At least he is now very grateful for Pei Yanlie’s domineering, if it weren’t for his initiative, he might never have any intersection with General Pei in this life.

“A’Hu, I’m going out with a friend for a while.” Zhou Zhou turned his head to look at the stiffly standing bodyguard.

A’Hu turned his gaze to Hu Wenxu, saying matter-of-factly: “Young Master Zhou, the General told me to stay by your side at all times.”

Zhou Zhou curled his lips, thinking that although Hu Wenxu was not much different from a makeover, his many years of getting along with him made him believe that the other party would not do anything excessive.

“Forget it, just don’t get too close.” Zhou Zhou glared at him, and took the lead to walk out.

Hu Wenxu’s fingers trembled slightly, and his dark gaze swept over the bodyguard whose muscles were all knotted up.

He didn’t plan to do anything. Zhou Zhou was his childhood friend, and also the person he genuinely wanted to protect, how could he possibly hurt him?

The two of them came to the front yard of the villa one after the other. Although the surrounding lights were dim, there were no places to hide in sight, so the security was high.

Zhou Zhou didn’t think too much, and said directly: “Speak, I’m all ears.”

He leaned his back against the stone lion in the courtyard, still holding the glass of wine in his hand, occasionally raising his head to take a sip.

Hu Wenxu pursed his lips tightly, suddenly reaching out to snatch the wine from his hand, drinking it all in one gulp. Under Zhou Zhou’s dissatisfied gaze, he opened his mouth and said: “Are you and the General, serious?”

“Don’t doubt my sincerity, it can’t be more real.” Zhou Zhou restrained the expression on his face, his tone solemn and serious.

Hu Wenxu tightly gripped the wine glass, his Adam’s apple rolling with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice: “I’m a little unwilling, what should I do?”

“We’ve known each other since we were kids, you know what kind of personality I have. I know that what I did before had a bit of a scumbag attribute, but I didn’t have any substantial relationships with those girls either. Before I met Pei…the General, I was a die-hard straight man, there’s no doubt about that. It’s just that, this thing called love came when it came, I’m not gay either, I just like him as a man, if it were anyone else, it wouldn’t work, including you.” Zhou Zhou looked directly into his eyes, the love in his eyes when mentioning Pei Yanlie undisguised.

Hu Wenxu’s heart ached unbearably, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, he seemed to hear the sound of his heart breaking.

He lowered his head, his whole person exuding a decadent and dejected aura, “Can I have a hug, just once, and I won’t bother you again in the future.”

He couldn’t say the kind of lie that even if he didn’t love him anymore, they could still be brothers, it was just deceiving himself.

Zhou Zhou paused for a moment, and hugged him openly, Hu Wenxu’s whole body stiffened, and said with a sigh: “Sure enough, I’m still too soft-hearted. Zhou Zhou, go to the second floor to find the General, don’t ask why.”

Before the bodyguard could take any aggressive action, Hu Wenxu quickly took two steps back, looking at Zhou Zhou with red eyes, many evil thoughts flashing through his mind, constantly pulling at his sanity.

Go take a look, see what your beloved General and Su Wanxing are doing.

He basely hoped that the General was not a gentleman, and hoped that Su Wanxing’s plan would go smoothly.
