Chapter 43

Ye Weian was about to drive Zhou Huaichen home when he received a WeChat message from his silly younger brother.

I'm a Couch Potato: "Bro, are you coming back tonight?"

I'm a Couch Potato: "If you're staying over at your husband's place, can I go home first?"

Ye: "He's your brother-in-law."

Ye: "No, keep working on the documents."

I'm a Couch Potato: "Bro, you're so cruel! I just set off some fireworks, I said I was sorry, isn't that enough?! I don’t want to read documents or go to work, bro, can’t you let me off? I'm begging you, please!"

I'm a Couch Potato deleted a message.

Ye: "I saw it."

Ye Jia, who had been happily eating fruit in the study, immediately choked.

After Ye Weian left, he had been openly slacking off. Even Grandpa Lin took pity on him and brought him plenty of snacks and fruit.

If he weren’t afraid that Ye Weian might suddenly return, he would have snuck back home already.

His original intention was to text his brother to ask if he was coming back. If his brother was staying over at his brother-in-law’s place, he could sneak away early.

But he couldn't resist, and jokingly added an extra line.

It’s over.

His brother was going to add it to his list of offenses again.

Ye Jia was despairing.

...

Ye Weian gave a light snort, put away his phone, and decided to punish his silly brother tomorrow.

The car moved forward, passing through a long tree-lined path of tall sycamores, and entered the Zhou family villa.

Ye Weian’s thoughts started drifting.

— "We’re here! Time to bother my piggy!"

Zhou Huaichen gazed at him for a moment before suddenly calling out, "Wei An."

Ye Weian absentmindedly replied, "Hmm?"

Zhou Huaichen held his hand and said, "I need to confess something to you."

His expression was serious, forcing Ye Weian to snap out of his distraction. "What is it?"

As briefly as possible, Zhou Huaichen confessed about Mr. Zhu and Zhu Ziyan’s visit to arrange a marriage proposal.

"I’ve already spoken with Hong Ke. Hong Ke promised to keep his family in check and make sure this doesn't happen again," he said softly.

Ye Weian nodded. "Alright, I understand."

As long as Zhu Ziyan didn’t harm others like Yan Qing did, he wasn't too bothered.

Moreover, Zhu Hongke had helped him a lot. Even if it was just for Zhu Hongke’s sake, he wouldn’t make a big deal about Zhu Ziyan.

With a straight face, he glanced at Zhou Huaichen and said, "It’s because you’re too charming."

— "Too tempting."

Zhou Huaichen’s lips curved into a smile, he leaned in, and kissed him. "Babe, don’t be jealous."

The car happened to stop in front of the villa.

Ye Weian nipped him lightly. "Let’s get out."

— "I’ll show you who's boss in bed."

Zhou Huaichen gave him an amused glance.

Who would be teaching whom a lesson remains to be seen.

After handing the suitcase to a servant, Zhou Huaichen and Ye Weian entered the villa.

Zhou San and Zhou Si, the two daughters, came meowing and circling around them.

Ye Weian hadn’t seen his daughters in a long time, so he knelt down to play affectionately with them.

The two daughters hardly remembered him, tilting their heads to examine him with the same expression as the first time they met.

Ye Weian: "..."

— "How sad, the daughters don’t recognize me anymore."

— "It’s all because A Chen was away for too long."

But soon, he wasn’t sad anymore because the two daughters didn’t remember their other father either.

Ye Weian felt balanced out. "Fair enough."

Zhou Huaichen: "..."

He tweaked Ye Weian’s ear and chuckled. "I’m going to shower. Play with the daughters for a while."

Ye Weian immediately stood up.

— "Shower?"

— "Together! Let's go together!"

— "How can I hint to A Chen that I want to shower with him and feel his abs?"

System: "Just say it directly! Host, you’re a zombie king, why are you shy?!"

Ye Weian: "..."

Good point.

He looked directly at Zhou Huaichen. "I want to shower with you."

Zhou Huaichen: "..."

His eyes darkened like ink as he stared intently at the person before him.

After a long pause, he let out a soft sigh and reached out to Ye Weian. "Come."

Ye Weian was thrilled.

—"We can try the bathroom play from that boss-secretary romance trope!"

Zhou Huaichen gave him a meaningful look, then took his hand and led him upstairs, pushing open the door to his own bedroom.

His bedroom, much like the man himself, was sturdy and spacious, with an air of abstinence.

But Ye Weian didn’t bother taking it in, pulling Zhou Huaichen toward the bathroom. "You’ve been on an international flight for so long, you must be exhausted. Let me give you a massage!"

Zhou Huaichen suddenly grabbed his hand.

Ye Weian paused and glanced at him: "?"

Zhou Huaichen swept him up into a bridal carry before heading into the bathroom.

Ye Weian: "!"

But in the end, the two only helped each other out once.

Ye Weian pouted.

His A Chen was just too big on formalities—he insisted on pursuing him properly, meeting each other’s families, and getting engaged before taking things further.

Ye Weian: "…"

Ugh! How long would he have to wait?!

The System offered him a suggestion: "You could just tie A Chen to the bed! Then he’d be helpless against your advances."

Ye Weian: "…What kind of stuff have you been reading lately?"

The System immediately excitedly suggested: "There’s a girl in the Super Topic who just posted a restraint-play fic about you and A Chen! It’s fresh off the press—go check it out!"

The System: "A Chen gets tied to the bed by you, and you ride him… Ah, I didn’t understand the rest."

As a System, its comprehension was limited. Things like "peak pleasure" were beyond its understanding.

Its own peak pleasure was probably just becoming a higher-level System. ┓( ´∀` )┏

Ye Weian asked the System for the link, secretly deciding to check it out later.

After their shower, Zhou Huaichen carried Ye Weian back to the bedroom.

Perhaps due to working nonstop and then sitting on a plane for over ten hours, Zhou Huaichen was exhausted. He quickly fell asleep holding Ye Weian.

Ye Weian hadn’t felt sleepy at first, but the man’s grape fragrance was so comforting. Curled up in Zhou Huaichen’s arms, he gradually drifted off as well.

When they woke up, it was already past eight in the evening.

The two went downstairs hungry. Uncle Wang smilingly brought out the hot meals he’d prepared in advance, deliberately including a specially made Cistanche and mutton soup.

Ye Weian, not knowing what it was for, took a sip and found it quite tasty.

But Zhou Huaichen took his bowl and handed it back to Uncle Wang. "Please give this soup to someone else."

Ye Weian: "?"

—"Even though I brought this pig back myself, stealing food from me still makes me unhappy."

—"Man, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because I spoil you!"

As a zombie king, he wouldn’t allow anyone to take food from him!

Not even his beloved.

Zhou Huaichen leaned in and whispered a few words in his ear.

Ye Weian: "…"

Oh, so that’s how it was.

Then he and A Chen really didn’t need any tonics.

They were both in great shape—they could go upstairs and go at it all night without feeling the least bit weak.

Hmm… He was already feeling a bit unsatisfied. If he drank that soup, he’d probably get a nosebleed.

Once he’d studied that restraint play properly and tied A Chen to the bed for three days and three nights, then he could ask Uncle Wang to make that soup to replenish themselves.

The System was speechless: "Three days and three nights? Why don’t you aim higher?"

Ye Weian ignored it.

Given how much stamina he and A Chen had, three days and three nights was a conservative estimate.

The System: "…"

…

After dinner, Ye Weian played with the girls for a while, and Zhou Huaichen took him home.

On the way, Ye Weian stroked Zhou Huaichen’s abs and said, "You have to visit the two silly boys often too, and bond with them. Otherwise, they’ll forget you as well."

Zhou Huaichen gripped his hand tightly, restraining the urges within, and said hoarsely, "…Okay."

Ye Weian’s restless hands had no intention of stopping their fun; they kept stroking and fondling.

Zhou Huaichen: "…"

He pulled Ye Weian onto his lap, holding him firmly by the waist. "Baby, behave."

Ye Weian hummed, stole a kiss, and said, "I’ll let you off this time."

The car drove through the night and arrived at the Ye family residence.

Zhou Huaichen ultimately didn’t want to leave Ye Weian, so he got out of the car with him, planning to see him to the door before leaving.

Ye Weian leaned close to his ear. "Grandpa Lin should already be asleep. Why don’t you stay the night?"

—"Stay the night, heh heh heh."

Zhou Huaichen: "…"

He took his hand and walked steadily inside, casually replying, "Sure."

Ye Weian looked at him suspiciously.

That's all it took?

Zhou Huaichen's lips curved into a slight smile as he entered with him.

But as soon as they entered, Ye Jia's loud voice echoed from the living room: "Brother, is that you? I saw your car in the yard. Weren’t you supposed to stay over at your husband’s place? Why are you back? Didn't he satisfy you... Bro... brother-in-law?"

The moment he saw Zhou Huaichen, Ye Jia’s eyes widened in shock.

...I’m done.

That was the only thought left in Ye Jia’s mind.
