The Wealthy Old Man Carried a Child After His Divorce - Chapter 9

When Bai Yifeng woke up, there was someone else beside him.

Fang Xu was a completely different person when he was asleep compared to when he was awake. When he was conscious, he always faced Bai Yifeng with a face full of smiles and boundless energy, as if he wished he could stick to him all day long. That youthful vigor was something Bai Yifeng found difficult to handle.

He simply could not endure it.

But now, Fang Xu was sleeping beside him with his clothes on, lying on his side toward Bai Yifeng. He slept peacefully, as if everything could return to a state of tranquility as long as the Beta was by his side.

Bai Yifeng was in no hurry to get up. He had woken up once around 4:00 AM, and Fang Xu had not been there yet. It was only past 6:00 AM now, and Fang Xu had likely just returned and fallen asleep not long ago. It was better not to move and wake him.

At first glance, Fang Xu looked very similar to Fang Yang. However, Fang Yang usually wore a hypocritical smile and was full of impatience when facing Bai Yifeng in private; standing next to him felt suffocating.

As for Fang Xu, Bai Yifeng curled his lips into a slight smile, propping himself up on his arm to watch the sleeping face. Even in sleep, Fang Xu gave off the feeling of sunlight resting on one’s shoulders.

A sunny puppy.

Bai Yifeng did not know why he associated him with a puppy. Every time he saw Fang Xu running toward him or pouncing on him for a hug, Bai Yifeng would have that illusion.

He could not quite explain his feelings for Fang Xu. At the moment, he only wanted to continue this current life and learn a little more about this world every day.

He already knew that the main planet he was on was also called the Emperor Star, the capital of this primary star system. There were more than a dozen other planets in the system, most of which already possessed civilizations. However, there were always uncivilized humans who attempted to attack or occupy the Emperor Star. Although their attacks were negligible, a swarm of mosquitoes could still be irritating.

He also learned that the Emperor Star was currently very powerful. Although the actual person in power rarely made public appearances, the people lived in peace and prosperity.

This was exactly the kind of life Bai Yifeng had hoped for: not having to go out much for socializing, having a small space to stay in alone, and not having to worry about money. Although he had gained a roommate, the roommate was rarely home, so there was not much of a change for him.

Bai Yifeng reached out with his fingertips and gently brushed Fang Xu’s golden hair. This guy clearly had a pair of watery puppy eyes; why did he happen to have such a head of noble golden hair?

The hair felt soft and smooth to the touch, and it was clear that it was well-maintained. Bai Yifeng chuckled softly, only to see Fang Xu move. Bai Yifeng thought he was about to wake up, but the boy simply reached out, pulled him into his arms, and fell back asleep.

Great, now he could move even less.

The temporary mark Fang Xu had left on him before leaving last night had indeed been a huge help. Throughout the night, he felt a sense of inner peace. He did not need to specifically seek out Fang Xu’s pheromones to satisfy his craving because the pheromones were hidden in his blood, wrapping him gently from the inside out like the closest embrace in the world.

Bai Yifeng relaxed his body and indulged Fang Xu’s possession of him at this moment. He closed his eyes, intending to sleep a bit longer, but unexpectedly, the doorbell rang.

He was startled, and his movement happened to wake Fang Xu. However, Fang Xu only held him tighter and mumbled, “It is fine, it is Louis.”

“Mr. Bai, I thought you were already awake.” Louis stood at the open doorway of the bedroom, still wearing his well-tailored tuxedo. Behind him were large plush rugs, and at his feet was a bean bag chair for people to lie on at any time. To be honest, the sight of that tuxedo here felt too disjointed.

But the person in question still maintained that indifferent expression, saying word for word, “I was entrusted by the Second Young Master to deliver food to the two of you.”

“Deliver food?” Bai Yifeng froze for a moment, then looked down and pushed Fang Xu. The latter buried his head into Bai Yifeng’s lower abdomen, seemingly intending to ignore anything that would disturb him holding Bai Yifeng to sleep. Bai Yifeng had no choice but to call his name: “Fang Xu, what is this about the food delivery?”

“Hmm?” Fang Xu was clearly not fully awake. He had only slept for an hour or two that night and could barely open his eyes. Furthermore, being beside his beloved, he wished he could sleep forever. But this obviously would not work. The Alpha could only force himself to stay alert and said to Bai Yifeng, “In two days, I am going out on a fifteen-day mission. During this time, no one will know where I have gone. Louis will come to deliver food every day; you just need to eat.”

“Precisely.” Louis nodded. “Mr. Bai is not good at cooking; it is best to leave the matter of meals to me.”

Bai Yifeng did not expect him to be so thoughtful and did not know what to say for a moment. It was Louis who reminded them, “Just let the Second Young Master continue sleeping. Mr. Bai’s and the Second Young Master’s meals are separate.”

Their tastes were different, so naturally, the meals had to be separate.

Bai Yifeng wanted to get up, but Fang Xu kept holding him and refused to let go. “Fang Xu, let me go eat.”

“Alright.” Fang Xu said it, but his hands did not loosen. Bai Yifeng did not know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing how well-behaved he was with his eyes closed, he simply lowered his head and gave him a kiss. Fang Xu did not expect him to do this and widened his eyes in astonishment, which allowed Bai Yifeng to slip away from his grasp.

Watching Bai Yifeng walk toward the dining table while chatting and laughing with Louis, Fang Xu could not help but roll over while hugging Bai Yifeng’s quilt, burying his head in it and laughing uncontrollably.

Brother Feng kissed him voluntarily!

The food Louis brought was very good, though it likely did not come from the ancestral home. Hearing Bai Yifeng’s question, Louis nodded and explained, “This was prepared by a hotel the Second Young Master frequently visits. I picked it up on my way here; it is on a direct route from the ancestral home to this place, so it is no trouble.”

With those few sentences, he addressed everything Bai Yifeng wanted to ask. Bai Yifeng hesitated before finally asking, “Is Ye Lang still bullying you?”

“Mr. Bai, Ye Lang is now the Eldest Young Master’s prospective fiancé,” Louis said calmly. Bai Yifeng smiled bitterly and replied, “Then won’t he have an even more direct reason to bully you in the future?”

“Mr. Bai has never bullied me.” Louis suddenly chuckled. He had told Bai Yifeng before that he was over sixty years old, but he looked forty at most. Bai Yifeng marveled at how mysterious the age logic was here and said, “Why would I bully you? I cannot get a salary for it.”

Louis would not stay long. To avoid making Fang Yang suspicious, he left quickly after delivering the food. Before leaving, he could not help but remind Bai Yifeng, “The Eldest Young Master has been looking for you.”

“Looking for me for what?” Bai Yifeng was stunned. Didn’t Fang Yang hate him the most?

Louis shook his head. “In short, Mr. Bai, be careful with everything.” After saying that, he turned to go downstairs.

“Louis, wait.” Bai Yifeng stepped forward and grabbed him. “Why are you telling me so much?”

“Mr. Bai, I am loyal to the pure dragon lineage, not the Fang family, and certainly not the Eldest Young Master,” Louis said solemnly. “Even though technology is advanced now, I have never given up my faith.”

“Faith?”

“For now, the Second Young Master is my faith. I will follow all his arrangements,” Louis said. “He needs me to protect you, so I must complete this task in my own way, regardless of the duration.”

Bai Yifeng was dazed by what he heard. In his hesitation, Louis had already pulled his hand away and disappeared around the corner. He had no choice but to prepare to close the door and call Fang Xu to eat something before sleeping again. But at that moment, he suddenly saw a rather familiar figure walking past behind Louis. He wanted to see more clearly, but the person had already vanished.

He could not help but become more vigilant.

“You think you saw Ye Lang?” Fang Xu had just finished eating when he heard Bai Yifeng confess what he had seen earlier. Fang Xu’s expression turned solemn; the people following Fang Yang were not to be trifled with, and even Ye Lang was not simple.

Fang Xu had always suspected that Ye Lang was the one who framed Bai Yifeng and drugged him in the beginning. If Bai Yifeng had not run into Fang Xu but had run into someone else instead, Fang Xu would likely have slaughtered the person responsible, regardless of whether it was Ye Lang or not.

“Do not be so violent.” Bai Yifeng poured himself a glass of juice, took a sip, and then said, “Do you think he came here to find me or for something else?”

“Ye Lang does not work for free. Without someone giving him a hint or a command, he would not work properly,” Fang Xu said softly. “Could my brother have told him to follow?”

This was the most reasonable explanation. Ye Lang had always believed in Fang Yang’s words without question. Compared to the three-faced Louis, Ye Lang was more like Fang Yang’s loyalist, following orders willingly. But he had one weakness that was easy to exploit.

He could not ignore the temptation of money.

Being with Fang Yang was always about getting money from him to spend. Having finally secured Bai Yifeng’s original position, how could he possibly sneak out alone to play at being a stalker?

He should have been staying obediently in that position.

“Alright, do not overthink it,” Fang Xu smiled. “Brother Feng, are you full? Shall I go wash the dishes?”

“Wash the dishes in a bit. Come here.” Bai Yifeng patted the sofa beside him, signaling for him to sit. Once he sat down, Bai Yifeng asked, “Do you want to do it?”

Fang Xu stood up abruptly with a swoosh; Bai Yifeng almost saw an afterimage. “What are you doing! You gave me a fright!”

“Brother Feng, are the words you said true?” Fang Xu was both surprised and delighted. Why did he suddenly take the initiative to ask for it?

Bai Yifeng simply asked, “Are you doing it or not?”

“Yes!” Fang Xu stepped forward and scooped him up in his arms. He could not wait. Before they even reached the bedroom, he pressed him against the wall and gave him a deep kiss. His knees also pushed open Bai Yifeng’s knees, squeezing in forcefully without a word. When their lips parted, both were panting. Fang Xu’s eyes looked at Bai Yifeng in a watery, pitiful way.

Bai Yifeng originally wanted to tell him not to use so much force, but seeing him like this, he eventually just sighed. He reached one hand behind the other’s head to stroke the long golden hair he had been eyeing for a long time and pulled him closer. “Do as you like.”

It was a compromise, but also a faint expectation.

Having received permission, Fang Xu picked him up by the waist with one hand and closed the door with the other, making a loud thud. Subsequently, all moans were isolated behind the door.

In the Fang family ancestral home, Ye Lang told Fang Yang everything he had seen. However, when the latter heard that Bai Yifeng had appeared in Fang Xu’s house, he was not angry; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Lang’s heart turned cold. Fang Yang did not care about him at all. He claimed not to care about Bai Yifeng, but wasn’t he actually incredibly concerned?

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Fang Yang pulled him into his arms and let him sit on his lap, showing a smile for the first time in days. “My brother must be worried about me, so he is helping me keep an eye on Bai Yifeng. You are my fiancé.”
