Shen Ruozhen thought that he and Xiang Mingzhang had done all the things in bed, but he didn't know that there was something so excessive. If he had his eyes open, he would definitely step away, but Xiang Mingzhang wiped his eyelids and he couldn't see anything.
The sensations of his body were so clear that they were terrifying. Shen Ruozhen thought he was quite knowledgeable, but he could not describe the pleasure he felt. All he could utter were embarrassed groans.
Xiang Mingzhang asked him at this moment, do you like this
Shen Ruozhen's face was flushed, as if he had been in boiling water or stepped on a raging fire. He was stunned for a while, and reached out to wipe Xiang Mingzhang's wet lips. Before he touched them, Xiang Mingzhang rushed over and rubbed his lips wet as well.
"Ouch..." Shen Ruozhen had no time to dodge and was grabbed by Xiang Mingzhang behind the head, forcing him to taste the obscene taste.
After they separated, Xiang Mingzhang praised: "It's not too bad, but a little strong."
Shen Ruozhen had never been so embarrassed before: "Stop talking."
Xiang Mingzhang then said: "It's just too fast. Haven't you done it in a long time?"
Shen Ruozhen's breathing was uneven and his drooped eyelashes trembled. He couldn't stop Xiang Mingzhang from asking questions, so he just said "hmm" honestly.
Xiang Mingzhang pressed the issue further: "How long has it been? Have you been nursing him since he was injured?"
Shen Ruozhen said: "I... don't really want to."
"Why don't you want to?" Xiang Mingzhang asked, "Are you not feeling well and not in the mood, or do you just want me to help you?"
Shen Ruozhen admitted defeat, raised his arms and wrapped them around Xiang Mingzhang's neck, getting close to him, pretending to be stupid while begging, "Don't bother me, I don't understand these trendy words."
Xiang Mingzhang sneered. He was clearly torturing himself. He said, "Then let go. I want to take a shower."
Shen Ruozhen said: "Hasn't it been washed?"
Xiang Mingzhang wrapped Shen Ruozhen's lower body with a blanket, then picked him up and walked to the bedroom, saying, "I just took a hot shower, now I have to take a cold shower."
Shen Ruozhen was put on the bed by Xiang Mingzhang. He lay on his back and lost consciousness after the extreme numbness. Until the sound of water came from the small bathroom, he woke up half-way and got out of bed in a daze.
Pushing open the bathroom door, Shen Ruozhen called out, "Xiang Mingzhang."
The figure in the shower room paused after hearing the voice, and Shen Ruozhen asked again: "Do you want me to come over?"
The shower was turned on to the maximum, and the water was flowing loudly, but it couldn't drown out Xiang Mingzhang's passionate gasps. It seemed that he was destined not to be a gentleman, so he responded, "Come here."
Shen Ruozhen walked towards the shower room, and as soon as the door opened, he was dragged in by Xiang Mingzhang. He was fooled, Xiang Mingzhang was not taking a cold shower at all, the water was scalding, and humid mist quickly spread.
The two people's entangled bodies blurred into one, and Xiang Mingzhang knew how to hold back and was much gentler than usual.
It was almost midnight when he returned to the bedroom. Shen Ruozhen changed into his pajamas. His skin had been soaked in hot water for a long time, so it was thin and red. Xiang Mingzhang checked his scar and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Shen Ruozhen shook his head dazedly and closed his eyes sleepily.
Xiang Mingzhang turned off the alarm clock. The next morning, Shen Hezhen slept for nearly three more hours. He woke up and sat on the bed to check his phone. Fortunately, there was no important news.
At the bedroom door, Xiang Mingzhang was already dressed. He had prepared several sets of clothes in the apartment according to Shen Ruozhen's size, and also brought a suit. He asked, "What are your plans for the morning?"
On a normal working day, Shen Ruozhen had to go to work at the company, but he slept too long and was destined to waste half a day.
No matter what time it is, Shen Ruozhen is never impatient. He always rinses his face before getting dressed and is very organized. He even made two phone calls in the middle to adjust his work schedule.
Buttoning up his suit, Shen Ruozhen touched Mo Baikong's lapel in front of the mirror.
Xiang Mingzhang glanced at it and said, "There's a brooch missing."
They were tied to the yacht, and the red agate brooch that Shen Ruozhen was wearing was taken away by Uncle Qi, and one of the embellishments was knocked off in the chaos.
The brooch was sent for repair, and Shen Ruozhen said, "I won't dare wear it again after it's repaired."
Xiang Mingzhang said: "Jewelry is meant to be worn. Don't throw it away because of fear."
Shen Ruozhen thought positively: "Fortunately I didn't lose it, otherwise how would I explain to my aunt."
Xiang Mingzhang walked closer, gathered Shen Ruozhen's dense hair behind his head and reminded him: "You blocked a bullet for me, and your pocket watch was broken, and you are still worried about these things."
Shen Ruozhen said: "Because it was given to me by your mother, after all, it's because I care about you."
Xiang Mingzhang chuckled: "Shen Xingda is so sweet during the day, was it because I served him too well last night?"
Shen Ruozhen's cheeks heated up when he thought of last night. While Xiang Mingzhang was getting his bag, he went to the living room and quietly checked if there were any stains on the sofa. Fortunately, it was clean.
Xiang Mingzhang called Xu Liao over. A familiar SUV was parked downstairs of Bomanjia Apartment.
There was an extra round pillow on the back seat of the car. It was simple and exquisite in Chinese solid color. Xiang Mingzhang reached out and patted it, thinking of the clothes that Bai Yongti liked to wear.
The car fragrance on the center console has been changed. Shen Ruozhen sniffed it and found it was sandalwood. This was the smell in the room where Bai Yongti worshipped the statue of Guanyin.
Xiang Mingzhang said: "Has my mother been out recently?"
Xu Liao started the engine: "No."
After returning from New Zealand, Bai Yongti stayed in Manzhuang, not going out or contacting anyone. That trip seemed to have passed without leaving a trace.
Xiang Mingzhang said: "That trip out is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one. Let's wait a little longer."
The SUV merged into the traffic in the center of the street. Xu Liao asked, "What are you waiting for? You called me here, is there something wrong?"
Xiang Mingzhang told Xu Liaoqing what happened in the hospital yesterday and said, "I promised to let Xiang Long come back. You contact the United States and start working on it."
After listening to this, Xu Liao said, "Since coming out of the California drug rehabilitation center, Xiang Long has been in a sanatorium."
Shen Ruozhen was slightly surprised: "Quit drugs?"
Xiang Mingzhang said calmly: "It's the bad debt from the past two years."
Shen Ruozhen sneered at Xiang Long's actions, but he didn't expect that he had been addicted to drugs. He thought that if Xiang Xingzhao hadn't done that and felt guilty, he would probably have a different feeling towards his son.
He asked curiously: "When Xiang Long was still alive, how did Xiang Xingzhao treat him?"
Xiang Mingzhang said: "Xiang Long is the third child and the youngest. My grandmother died of illness when he was less than four years old. Xing Zhao was busy with work and didn't care about the family. He felt sorry for him because he lost his mother at an early age, so he indulged him a little."
Xiang Long's academic performance was average, and he was pushed by his family to go to private school. He had no business skills, so he studied art, film, painting, and everything else, and traveled around the world looking for inspiration.
Xiang Long was born with a weak character and had a strong father like Xiang Xingzhao, so he was almost obedient from childhood to adulthood. It was also because of his obedience that Xiang Xingzhao did not have too high expectations of him.
One day, Xiang Long went to the company to run errands for Xiang Kun and met Bai Yongti.
At that time, Bai Yongti had just graduated. She studied business English and went to Xiang Yue for a job interview. Later, Xiang Long pursued Bai Yongti and the two of them got married. They probably had a short period of happiness, but Xiang Long was essentially a second-generation rich man who lacked responsibility. When Xiang Mingzhang was two or three years old, he reverted to his old ways and left for several months under the pretext of filming a documentary, completely ignoring his family.
Bai Yongti wanted a divorce, and had been entangled with the Xiang family for several years over the issue of custody. Xiang Mingzhang was too young to remember the details at the time, and said: "I don't know when Xiang Xingzhao had evil intentions. Maybe he prevented Xiang Long and my mother from divorcing, and his purpose was not pure at all."
Xiang Xingzhao used threats to force Bai Yongzhan to stay with him. Xiang Long was shocked when he found out. After all, no one can accept such a thing.
However, Xiang Long did not dare to resist Xiang Xingzhao. He was unable to protect his wife but felt humiliated. He vented his resentment on Bai Yongti and also disliked his son Xiang Mingzhang.
Xiang Mingzhang said: "He spent more and more time away from home, and finally left home. He moved to many countries and squandered his money, and would secretly ask for money from his uncle and aunt."
"Your aunt and uncle wouldn't hide it from Xiang Xingzhao." Shen Ruozhen asked, "Didn't Xiang Xingzhao let him go home?"
Xiang Mingzhang said: "No one in the family has ever resisted Xiang Xingzhao, especially Xiang Long. I remember that in the first few years, Xiang Xingzhao said that Xiang Long was not allowed to go home. He was very angry, and perhaps because..."
Suddenly, Xu Liao stepped on the accelerator and overtook two cars in a row.
Shen Ruozhen understood that without Xiang Long, Xiang Xingzhao had no psychological burden. Those years were the darkest and most painful time for Bai Yongti.
As Xiang Mingzhang grew up, he had both ambition and ability, and was the one most like Xiang Xingzhao among the two generations.
Xiang Xingzhao made up for his debt to his son by giving double to his grandson. In fact, because he was satisfied with and valued Xiang Mingzhang, he calmed down his anger towards Xiang Long who left home in anger.
As people get older, they care more about "reunion", and Xiang Xingzhao hopes Xiang Long can come back. But Xiang Long has been away for too long and has lost contact with her, and her whereabouts are unknown.
Xiang Xingzhao began to look for Xiang Long. It was impossible for him not to care about his own biological son. He was also worried that something might happen to Fang Xiang Long outside, which would damage the reputation of the Xiang family and the company.
Xiang Mingzhang said: "After I took over, I found Xiang Long. He was living with a foreign woman at the time."
Shen Ruozhen asked, "Does he feel at ease?"
Xiang Mingzhang said contemptuously: "Later, the woman found him useless and kicked him out of the house. He became so poor that he couldn't survive and wanted to come back."
But it was too late. Xiang Mingzhang concealed the truth from Xiang Xingzhao and controlled Xiang Long's life over the years.
At the current situation, Xiang Xingzhao is willing to do everything to get Xiang Long back, not to mention the blood-thicker-than-water father-son relationship, because he knows that Xiang Long will never have a good ending in Xiang Mingzhang's hands.
Shen Ruozhen felt like there was a stone pressing on his chest, making him feel stuffy.
He thought of Xiang Xingzhao's appearance. As he aged, his swollen desires faded. He wanted to dig out a little affection from the corners? Fatherly love? It was really disgusting and ridiculous.
The SUV slowed down and stopped at the gate of a business club.
Before they got off the car, Xu Liao turned around to confirm: "After completing the formalities, can we bring Xiang Long back directly?"
"No." Xiang Mingzhang said, "Xiang Xingzhao is waiting for his son to see him off, but he also needs the other party to be willing."
Xu Liao asked: "What do you mean?"
Long before he had a stroke, Xiang Xingzhao had already made a will, leaving most of his remaining shares to Xiang Long, both as compensation and as a support for that loser Xiang Long.
Xiang Mingzhang said: "Xiang Long came back like this, who knows if it's for his father or for the inheritance?"
Shen Ruozhen understood: "You want to test him."
"No." Xiang Mingzhang said, "Prepare a transfer agreement for Xiang Long. I want to take advantage of the situation."
