The Wealthy Old Man Carried a Child After His Divorce - Chapter 16

The moment Fang Xu finished speaking, the expressions on Fang Yang’s face shifted uncontrollably before he eventually turned on his heel and stormed away, his face dark with rage. The movement caused Bai Yifeng’s shoulder to twist. Looking at Fang Yang’s retreating back, Bai Yifeng indignantly flipped him the middle finger. The sight made Fang Xu chuckle. “Brother Feng, he cannot see that.”

“I do not care; it makes me happy.” Bai Yifeng was genuinely fuming. He grabbed Fang Xu’s hand and placed it on his own shoulder. “Massage this for me. It hurts like hell.”

Fang Yang had been reckless with his strength. If Bai Yifeng had not adjusted his posture in time, his entire collarbone area would likely be bruised red by now. Hearing his request, Fang Xu used two fingers to pull aside the collar of the formal suit. Seeing the distinct, reddened finger marks on the shoulder, he was about to go find Fang Yang to “reason” with his fists when the Beta pulled him back. “Not today.”

Bai Yifeng did not stop him permanently; he simply told him the timing was wrong. He was not the saintly type and was actually quite prone to holding grudges. It was not just Fang Xu who wanted to punch Fang Yang; he wanted to as well.

But it should not be today.

First, there were too many prying eyes. Second, it was the old man’s birthday banquet. It was best not to cause a scene, especially with a crowd of reporters waiting outside.

“It just hurts a little. A massage will fix it,” Bai Yifeng said softly. “We have been away from the hall for too long. Let us head back.”

“I will listen to you, Brother Feng.” Fang Xu’s hands moved skillfully as he rubbed and kneaded the area. Once Bai Yifeng called for him to stop, he tidied the Beta’s clothes and tie. “Let us go.”

Bai Yifeng took a deep breath to steady himself. He naturally took Fang Xu’s hand and led the Alpha, who was a full head taller than him, back toward the hall with an aggressive stride.

Fang Xu looked at the expression on his face, hesitant to speak. However, the moment they returned to the old man’s side, Bai Yifeng’s attitude shifted instantly. He smiled and poured a glass of wine for the patriarch. “Grandpa, Xiao Xu has something he wants to tell you.”

They had decided before coming that they would inform the old man about Fang Xu awakening the Secret Covenant. This had been Louis’s suggestion; the matter could not be hidden from the patriarch. However, once it was made public, it meant everyone would know Fang Xu’s secret.

“No one dares to mess with me anyway. With the Secret Covenant, they will be even more afraid,” Fang Xu had said before they left for the ancestral home. “And even if it is just for your sake, Brother Feng, I have to tell Grandpa. That way, no one will bully you.”

He did not tell Bai Yifeng that the Beta’s entry into the medical department was already a done deal. After all, Bai Yifeng was joining the medical department of Fang Xu’s own army; getting someone in was just a matter of a single word. Not to mention, the medical department was so short staffed right now that even a cook passing by the door might get dragged in to help.

Under his command, he would protect Bai Yifeng thoroughly beneath his full wings. By then, not even his big brother would be able to touch a single finger of Bai Yifeng’s.

However, the Alpha had not expected him to bring it up at this specific moment. Bai Yifeng seemed to read his mind, quietly squeezing his fingers as if to say: “Don’t worry, I know what I am doing.”

“Xiao Xu?” The old man took a sip of his wine, mostly medicinal wine that was not harmful to his health. Hearing Bai Yifeng’s words, he looked at Fang Xu. Just then, Louis arrived with Fang Yang and Ye Lang in tow. “Patriarch, the Eldest Young Master invites you over to cut the cake.”

With Louis interrupting, the old man pushed Fang Xu’s matter aside. He happily took Bai Yifeng’s hand and led him toward Fang Yang. Bai Yifeng was stunned. Was the old man actually trying to rekindle things between him and Fang Yang?

The two men, who had just had an unpleasant confrontation a short while ago, locked eyes and simultaneously turned away in disgust. Bai Yifeng came to a halt. Sensing his resistance, the old man looked back and smiled. “Yifeng, come and help this old man cut the cake.”

Faced with this invitation, the nearby media members raised their cameras and aimed them at the group, ready to capture the most important moment of the night. Whoever stood by the old man’s side was the one who would be highly valued.

“Grandpa, Xiao Xu still had something to tell you just now.” Bai Yifeng curled his lips into a smile. Fang Yang suddenly felt that whenever he smiled like that, nothing good would follow. He watched as Bai Yifeng pulled Fang Xu over and patted his back with great concern. “Xiao Xu, say it yourself.”

He could see that the old man was only close to Fang Xu on the surface; in reality, he still favored Fang Yang. Therefore, he could not let the old man have his way right now. Since all the cameras were pointed at them, Bai Yifeng was going to back Fang Xu up!

Because he was over a decade older than Fang Xu, this gesture looked to others like an elder caring for a junior. Although people were curious why a Beta who had already divorced Fang Yang was standing by the patriarch, everyone’s attention was currently focused on Fang Xu, so few paid him much mind.

As the younger brother of the current head of the Fang family, Fang Xu was brave and fearless on the battlefield, defending the Imperial Star. At home, he was a well-behaved junior, and his relationship with Fang Yang had always been praised as a model of brotherly respect.

Today was the old man’s birthday. Once he spoke, regardless of what he said, it would steal the spotlight. It all depended on the old man’s reaction.

What was Fang Xu going to say?

Behind them, Fang Xu gripped Bai Yifeng’s hand tightly. He was not nervous at all; in fact, he was quite looking forward to it. He knew what Bai Yifeng wanted to do and was secretly delighted by their shared intuition.

Bai Yifeng wanted to take his revenge right now.

That was exactly what Bai Yifeng intended. He did not want to go home and ruminate over the loss he had suffered today a dozen times before regretting why he had not retaliated on the spot. Fang Yang valued his reputation above all else, so Bai Yifeng was going to make him lose face spectacularly.

Currently, he did not have the power to face Fang Yang as an equal, so he brought out his young boyfriend, Fang Xu. Since it would happen sooner or later anyway, saying it now allowed him to vent the anger he had just endured.

In the distance, Louis, who had left earlier, pushed out a massive cake. Seeing the group at a standstill, he thought to himself that this was bad. He had suggested that Fang Xu tell the old man, but he had not suggested doing it under these circumstances.

But he could no longer stop Fang Xu.

Not to mention, the Alpha was actually enjoying himself. “Grandpa, I have a surprise for you.”

As his voice fell, the long black hair of the Fang Xu everyone knew turned golden in an instant. However, even more eye catching than this little trick was the sudden appearance of a giant dragon tail behind him!

Bai Yifeng had just finished thinking to himself that this looked like some “chunibyo” magical boy transformation when the surrounding area, which had suddenly gone silent, erupted into chaos.

Startled, Bai Yifeng looked up to see Fang Xu smiling at him as if asking for credit. He simply reached out and rubbed the guy’s fluffy head. As he lowered his hand, he met Fang Yang’s gaze, which was filled with shock and disbelief, and a sliver of jealousy that left Bai Yifeng utterly confused.

“This one is a great shot!”

Bai Yifeng was lying across Fang Xu’s lap. He was currently shirtless to make it easier for Fang Xu to apply the medicine.

Fang Yang had used too much force in his anger, leaving Bai Yifeng’s back and shoulder flushed red. Although he claimed it was nothing, he was very cooperative with Fang Xu’s movements.

Hearing his words, Fang Xu looked down at his brain-computer. The first thing that caught his eye was a line of bright red text. One might have thought something terrible had happened to Fang Xu: “Second Son of the Fang Family Awakens Secret Covenant! Giant Dragon Tail Shakes the Audience!! Click to See Fang Yang’s Humiliation and Rage!”

Fang Xu: “…”

“Do not worry about the headline; look at the photo!” Bai Yifeng enlarged the photo and waved it in front of him. “How handsome.”

“You think I am handsome, Brother Feng?” Fang Xu helped him up from his lap and took the pajamas from the side to help him dress. Normally, Bai Yifeng would not let him do these things even if he wanted to, but right now he was busy reading the news and did not pay much attention to Fang Xu’s actions. He raised his arms whenever told to do so. Fang Xu could not help but smile. “Brother Feng is so well-behaved.”

Bai Yifeng paused and put down the brain-computer to stare at him. Fang Xu thought he was about to get angry, but instead, he heard him say, “Where is the tail? I did not see it clearly last time or yesterday. Let me see it.”

Fang Xu was very obedient. To avoid tearing his clothes like yesterday, he took off his pajama top. Bai Yifeng took it from him and instinctively lowered his head to sniff it. After completing the action, both of them froze.

“I, uh, I was just smelling it.” Bai Yifeng placed the Alpha’s pajama top on his lap, pretending nothing had happened. Fang Xu, however, leaned in and stole a quick kiss on his lips, smiling. “I am right here. Why do you not just smell me directly, Brother Feng?”

Bai Yifeng turned his face away, subconsciously changing the subject. “Where is the tail?”

“Here.” Fang Xu placed the released dragon tail beside his leg. The Beta looked at the massive silver-white tail. The scales on it were as dazzling as gemstones, making one want to test their texture. But as Bai Yifeng reached out to touch it, the barbs on the tail suddenly stood up. If Fang Xu had not pulled him back, his hand would have been full of holes by now.

“Careful, Brother Feng,” Fang Xu said apologetically, taking Bai Yifeng’s hands and placing them on his own lap. Bai Yifeng was wearing long-sleeved and long-panted pajamas, but Fang Xu was not afraid of the cold and was wearing only a tank top and shorts. The moment Bai Yifeng’s palms touched the flesh of Fang Xu’s leg, he felt the heat radiating from him. “What is wrong? Why are you so hot?”

“I am a bit excited, Brother Feng.” Fang Xu let go of one hand to scratch his head, whispering, “Other than the enemies who died by my tail, no one has ever touched it. You are the first.”

Bai Yifeng was in a good mood and was about to tease Fang Xu when he suddenly felt something was off. He looked down and came face to face with a very energetic Little Fang Xu.

Bai Yifeng: “…”

So, it was not just the person who was excited; this part was excited too.

“Brother Feng, I am going to go take care of this.” Fang Xu gently let go of him and prepared to head to the bathroom, but Bai Yifeng pulled him back. “Brother Feng?!”

“I will help you out this once.” Bai Yifeng generously pulled back his shorts and took a peek inside. Very good, Little Fang Xu was very healthy. “But only this once.”
