Chapter 79: Touch Him and I'll Cut You Down. No Exceptions.

Given Bai Siyan's abilities, if he wanted to stop Bai Weijing, he could have easily held his ground downstairs and kept the other man from moving an inch.

But Bai Siyan also wanted to talk to him about the break-in at the paragliding base, so he allowed himself to be dragged inside.

But the moment the door closed, Bai Weijing started tugging at his clothes.

Bai Siyan was still wearing the down jacket he'd worn to the paragliding base at noon. The other man's movements were so sudden and swift—before he could react, the zipper was already down.

The zipper tab fell to the floor with a crisp clatter as Bai Siyan's jacket fell fully open, revealing what was underneath.

Just a plain white pullover T-shirt underneath.

If Bai Weijing's hand had reached just a bit further and grabbed the hem of that T-shirt when he pulled the zipper, all the marks Wen Qi had left on him not long ago would have been exposed.

During his heat, he'd been barely aware, and he had no clue what dirty talk he'd let slip in the middle of it—enough to make Wen Qi gnaw marks all over his body like he was chewing on a bone.

The most prominent one was on his collarbone.

If that T-shirt had been lifted, you wouldn't even need to imagine—one look would be enough to picture exactly how intense things had gotten.

Bai Weijing wasn't stupid. He'd definitely start wondering why someone of Bai Siyan's standing would end up tangled with Wen Qi at a time like this, and let Wen Qi go to town on his body.

At that thought, Bai Siyan instinctively reached one hand down to tug at his T-shirt hem and the other up to cover his neck, trying to protect both spots.

But before his hand could reach his neck, Bai Weijing grabbed his arm.

"Did you hurt your neck? Why are you hiding it?" Bai Weijing asked, his voice full of concern.

Bai Siyan tugged twice but couldn't pull free from Bai Weijing's grip. He raised his voice and snapped, "Let go!!"

"Answer my question first."

"Back off, while I'm still being nice."

Bai Siyan's face darkened, his displeasure obvious.

Only then did Bai Weijing let go and take half a step back.

"Siyan, you know I mean no harm. I just want to make sure you're not injured. Let me see if you got hurt anywhere, or bumped into something, hmm?"

Bai Weijing's voice was soft—more like coaxing than talking.

"I'm fine."

Bai Siyan smoothed his T-shirt down, then immediately changed the subject. "But why are you so sure I would have fallen? Don't tell me you knew the paraglider was broken? And that you're the one who sabotaged it?"

"Don't bother testing me."

With the issue out in the open, Bai Weijing had no intention of hiding anything. He went straight to the point.

"That kid falling—yeah, that was my doing. I just didn't expect you to go down with him at that moment."

He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking softly as he rubbed them, and continued:

"Once a person's dead, they've got nothing left. Haven't you always been obsessed with becoming the Patriarch of the Bai Family? So why—why would you risk your life for some worthless little duck?"

Bai Siyan was at a loss for words.

So he just kept his mouth shut.

After all, to outsiders, it really did look like he'd rushed over and grabbed Wen Qi the moment he was pushed off.

So of course, everyone assumed he'd done it for Wen Qi.

But who could possibly know he was actually selfish—that he'd done it purely for himself?

To Bai Weijing, Bai Siyan's silence was as good as a confession.

"Ha~"

A feeling that was equal parts anger and jealousy spread from his chest, surged up his throat, and flooded his mouth.

Bai Weijing reached up and touched his brow, his slender fingertips lightly covering his eyes. "Do you really like him?"

Like him?

Bai Siyan didn't think so.

To him, Wen Qi was no different from a nutrient solution.

All he needed was a top-tier Alpha's pheromones.

But as for that top-tier Alpha—so far, Bai Siyan hadn't thought about swapping him out for anyone else.

So he answered honestly, "No, I don't."

Only then did Bai Weijing's expression ease a little, and he lowered the hand covering his eyes.

"Then... what if I said I need that little duck to stay far, far away? If he comes near you again, I'll kill him?"

Bai Siyan's gaze swept over him coldly. "Anyone who touches him, I'll cut down. No exceptions."

"And you still claim you don't like him!" Bai Weijing's voice, which had just settled, exploded again in an instant.

Bai Siyan frowned, a little surprised.

Bai Weijing had always been a smiling tiger—he rarely ever showed negative or volatile emotions.

But now, within just two sentences, his emotions were swinging wildly—happy one second, furious the next.

Weird, really weird.

So he asked, "Whether I like him or not, you seem really invested in it. Why? It's not like I'd let him get in the way of anything important, or marry an Alpha and disgrace the Bai family. So why is Big Brother upset?"

This time, it was Bai Weijing's turn to go quiet.

Bai Weijing looked at him, his mouth opening and closing twice before he shut it again. In the end, he didn't say a word.

After waiting half a minute with no response, Bai Siyan got impatient. He pulled a cigarette from the pack on the table and headed for the balcony to light it.

But as he passed Bai Weijing, the other man grabbed his arm.

Bai Weijing finally said:
