Chapter 31 Engagement Baby, I Love You

The air became stagnant, and Yu You seemed to have lost all ability to react. His cat-like pupils widened, and his lips opened blankly.

Jiang Xunzhou did not rush him. With a smile in his eyes, he waited patiently for his answer.

"This isn't very good..."

Yu You's cheeks burned intensely. He shifted restlessly on Jiang Xunzhou's lap, feeling a bit nervous. He didn't even know what he was saying. "Aren't you a big fan of mine? If this gets out, won't I become a big fan?"

Jiang Xunzhou had never expected this answer. He was stunned for two seconds, his shoulders shaking.

Yu You was embarrassed by his laughter, and his ears turned red: "I have a strong sense of professional ethics."

"Haven't we slept together so many times before? How can I change my identity from being a sponsor fan to being a husband fan?"

Jiang Xunzhou's tone was casual, a hint of smile in his eyes. "Besides, everyone knows we're getting engaged. You sleeping with me isn't just a fan, it's legitimate and reasonable."

He placed his palm on Yu You's waist, smiling: "Besides, you've slept with me so many times, baby, you don't want to abandon me and don't want to be responsible for me, right?"

"How can you say 'abandonment after having sex'?" Yu You was accused of this out of thin air, his voice rising with anxiety. "We signed a contract, that was agreed upon from the beginning—"

"I did sign the contract," Jiang Xunzhou admitted frankly, "but I regret it now."

Assistant Wan knocked on the door outside: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Yu's suit has arrived."

Jiang Xunzhou patted Yu You's butt: "Baby, I'll go get some clothes."

Yu You almost jumped up, and dodged to the side in a hurry.

When Jiang Xunzhou opened the door and brought in his suit, he saw Yu You curled up in the corner of the sofa, looking at him warily, with his two white legs tucked together.

Jiang Xunzhou was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Yu You's face turned red like a steamed crab. He mustered up the courage to ask, "Did you just say that... just to sleep with me?"

Otherwise, why would he always slap his butt? It's obvious that he has bad intentions towards his butt!

What he was thinking was almost written all over his face. How could Jiang Xunzhou not understand it?

"Just to sleep with you?"

Jiang Xunzhou repeated it.

It was just a casual slap just now, but now he really wants to press the boy on his legs and spank him to teach him a lesson.

"The last time I slept with you, I had to drink tonic soup for at least a week to make up for it. Do you think I confessed to you just to sleep with you? Do I like you, or do I like drinking those tonic soups?"

Jiang Xunzhou put his dress aside, took a few steps with his long legs, walked in front of Yu You, grabbed someone who wanted to run away when he saw the situation was not good, grabbed his waist, and locked him in his arms.

"You didn't tell me, how should I know you're working so hard?"

Yu You felt extremely guilty, his eyes dodging, but he still insisted: "What if you just like to drink nourishing soup..."

Jiang Xunzhou laughed out of anger and slapped Yu You on the butt.

Without reducing the force at all, there was a snapping sound that was particularly crisp in the room.

Yu You's cheeks were burning hot, he covered his butt and hid back, almost fainting from shame: "You...!"

"Yes, I just like to drink nourishing soup."

Jiang Xunzhou's eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's discuss it in the evening - how much I really like this tonic soup."

Yu You's danger alarm buzzed in his mind.

There was another knock on the door: "Boss Jiang, lunch is here."

Yu You was stunned for a moment: "...You haven't eaten yet?"

Jiang Xunzhou didn't say anything, let the person go, and went to open the door.

Assistant Wan called out to Mr. Jiang, then stepped aside to have a few servants bring in the food. He reminded her, "President Su told me to tell you that you need to finish your makeup by two o'clock at the latest, otherwise you won't be able to make it to the ceremony."

Jiang Xunzhou nodded: "I know."

After all the hassle, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Jiang Xunzhou sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and ate a little.

Yu You hesitantly squeezed over and asked in a low voice: "...Have you not eaten all this time because you've been looking for me?"

As soon as he came back, he gobbled it all up and started eating. If he had known earlier, he would have left some for Jiang Xunzhou.

"How can I have the mind to eat if I don't find you?"

Jiang Xunzhou pinched Yu You's cheek and said with a smile, "Go change your clothes first, and then the makeup team will come over to style you."

Yu You hummed, then remembered something and said hurriedly, "Honey, my iris bracelet is still in the house where I was kidnapped! I was afraid I'd run away and there would be no evidence to prove I was kidnapped there, so I stuffed my bracelet under the sofa."

Jiang Xunzhou said: "Stretch out your hand."

Yu You understood immediately, his eyes sparkling, and he held out his wrist to Jiang Xunzhou.

A familiar coolness fell on my wrist, and the iris diamond sparkled.

Jiang Xunzhou lowered his head and buckled the iris bracelet back on Yu You's slender wrist. He curled his lips and said, "There's a locator in it. Don't lose it again next time. Got it?"

"Is there a locator?"

Yu You was stunned for a moment, then thought about it. Jiang Xunzhou's parents had been in a car accident due to the power struggle within the group. His current identity was Jiang Xunzhou's partner, and the danger level was also high. It was normal for him to have a locator in his bracelet.

"I know." Yu You nodded obediently, "I won't lose it next time."

Jiang Xunzhou's expression softened, and he praised in a low voice, "Good boy."

Yu You felt his cheeks, which had finally cooled down, begin to heat up again, and hurriedly said, "I'll go change my clothes first."

He took his own suit and went to the bathroom to change. When he came out, the makeup team had arrived and surrounded Yu You.

Jiang Xunzhou left his room to Yu You and went to his brother's room to change clothes and do makeup.

The makeup team had dealt with Yu You several times before and congratulated him: "Xiao Yu and Mr. Jiang are getting engaged today! Are you happy?"

Are you happy?

Yu You snapped his fingers and looked at the teasing looks around him. He finally felt a little bit of reality about the two of them getting engaged and became nervous.

But he had clearly agreed to the engagement according to the contract, and it wasn't real.

Yu You said nervously, "Happy...right?"

He was surrounded and had just finished his makeup when Jiang Mingyan happened to come over to join in the fun.

Jiang Mingyan's eyes lit up as she came in: "Wow! Little Fish Baby, your look is so pretty!"

"Yeah?"

Yu You felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

The boy has a small face, red lips, white teeth and soft hair. The stylist specially dyed his hair a few strands of blue to make his eyebrows and eyes look more gorgeous and delicate.

The noble snow-white dress fits her slender figure, with a thin waist and long legs. The blue rose on her chest adds an embellishment. She is as beautiful as the little prince who walked out of a picture.

"That's for sure!" Jiang Mingyan said without hesitation, "When my brother sees you, he'll be so mesmerized he can't even walk!"

Yu You felt that Jiang Mingyan was exaggerating a bit, but at the same time he couldn't help but vaguely look forward to Jiang Xunzhou seeing his reaction.

As he was speaking, footsteps were heard outside the room.

A tall and straight man appeared at the door wearing the same white suit and a blue rose pinned on his chest.

All the black hair was brushed back, revealing his deep and sharp facial features. The moment his dark eyes saw Yu You clearly, ripples appeared in them and they glowed faintly.

Jiang Mingyan was straightforward and asked with a smile: "Brother! Isn't the little fish baby cute?"

"It looks good." Jiang Xunzhou nodded, his eyes fixed on Yu You, "It's so beautiful that it makes my heart flutter."

Jiang Mingyan joked, "Ouch, ouch," and the people around her also laughed in good-natured manner.

The atmosphere was so lively and real that Yu You's cheeks began to feel hot again, and he couldn't help but feel a very secret joy and happiness rising in his heart.

"Baby."

Jiang Xunzhou's eyes held a tender smile. He took a few steps forward and extended his hand: "It's time to go to our engagement ceremony."

Yu You stared at Jiang Xunzhou's large palm for a few seconds.

This is for the contract.

Yu You reminded himself, and then calmly placed his palm in Jiang Xunzhou's, tilted his head, and smiled, "Okay, husband."

The sunshine in the spring afternoon is just right, the golden light falls all over the ground, and it makes people feel warm when it shines on their bodies.

On the lush green lawn, an arch made of blue and white roses cascades like a waterfall. The soft petals sway gently in the breeze.

Important guests in formal attire have already taken their seats on both sides, waiting for the newlyweds to enter.

The emcee in a tuxedo was delivering the opening speech at the front.

Before the official entrance, Jiang Xunzhou held Yu You's hand and waited at the entrance, whispering, "Are you nervous?"

The guests thought Yu You was overthinking it. His heart was beating so fast it was about to burst out of his chest, but he tried to stay calm and said, "I'm not nervous."

Jiang Xunzhou smiled, and wrapped his large palm tightly around Yu You's hand, and whispered, "But I'm nervous. Maybe it's because I've dreamed about this day over and over again, and when this moment comes, it doesn't feel real."

Yu You was stunned for a moment.

"——Now we would like to invite two newcomers to enter!"

Warm applause came like a tide.

Yu You had no time to think, nor could he hesitate for a moment.

He was swept forward by the waves. Amidst the blessing gazes of all the guests, his mind was almost blank and he lost the ability to react. It was as if he was mechanically being led forward by Jiang Xunzhou's hand.

Walking through the carpet covered with rose petals, walking through the dreamy rainbow bubbles floating in the sky, walking through the sound of wind, cheers and romantic wedding march, we walked under the rose arch in the hustle and bustle.

Yu You raised his eyes slightly and looked into Jiang Xunzhou's eyes which were filled with tenderness and affection, and his heart seemed to be gently touched.

The emcee led the speech and handed the microphone to Jiang Xunzhou.

The rose arch let in fine light and shadow, which fell into Jiang Xunzhou's eyes, as if countless soft fragments of light were sparkling.

“The word ‘like’ is something I could never have imagined existed before.”

"Why do I find someone cute when I see him? Why do I think about him all the time? I think about him when we meet and even more when we're apart. Why can't I help but tease him, provoke him, and play tricks on him, looking forward to seeing his reaction? Why do I always find excuses to get closer to him again and again?"

Jiang Xunzhou smiled and said, "When I realized that this was love, I suddenly felt it, and then all my emotions were affected by you, and they all had a reason."

"——Baby, I love you."

The sound of the spring wind seemed to stop in the boy's ears, leaving only the low voice of the man in front of him and his own heartbeat like a drum.

Jiang Xunzhou's gaze on him was so intense and focused that Yu You's palms began to sweat. He couldn't tell whether Jiang Xunzhou was doing this for the contract or was genuinely confessing his love to him.

——That’s so unfair.

Yu You couldn't help but wail in his heart.

During their engagement ceremony, he could neither hide nor escape, and could only stand here and listen to the whole process.

"The rest of my life is a very long journey, but thinking about your presence in the future makes it worth looking forward to."

Jiang Xunzhou's thin lips curved slightly. "Thank you for appearing before my eyes. Regardless of the past, regardless of the reasons, I only know that from now on, I will stay by your side, with loyalty, unchanging love, eternal trust, and firm choice."

"Even if time changes, I am still willing to be your devout believer, loyal fan, and the partner who will always be by your side."

"There will be many people in this world who love you, but I swear, I will be the one who loves you the most and will love you forever."

"Little fish baby, are you willing to accept it?"

Yu You's head was buzzing, he couldn't hear anything, and he felt dizzy.

Jiang Xunzhou in front of him showed a helpless yet indulgent look. He took a step forward and gently wiped his face with his warm palm. He lowered his voice and coaxed gently: "Baby, why are you crying again?"

Yu You then realized that his tears were falling down in big drops, and his face was covered with them without him realizing it.

"I, I didn't cry." Yu You's voice trembled.

Jiang Xunzhou smiled and said, "Yeah, I didn't cry."

Then he asked gently, "Baby, are you willing to accept my love?"

Yu You sniffed his red nose and whispered, "...I do."

The whole venue was filled with applause, laughter and cheers.

Jiang Xunzhou took the ring, held Yu You's fingertips, and half-knelt to put it on his finger.

Behind him is the rainbow smoke rising into the sky, which is brilliant and dazzling like a dream against the sky blue background.

At the dinner, Yu You and Jiang Xunzhou, as the two newlyweds, came out to socialize briefly, and then went back early with the help of Su Qiuling and Jiang Junran.

Jiang Xunzhou was still talking to Jiang Qingyan on the road. The last time Su Qiuling and Jiang Junran had a car accident, he refused to believe that it was caused by their two uncles and just thought it was an accident. This time, the evidence together with the evidence of the last car accident that had been finally collected was placed in front of him. He finally believed it and was completely disappointed.

Originally, no one informed the old man, but he heard about this incident through some means and secretly found Jiang Qingyan.

Jiang Xunzhou was talking about serious matters, and Yu You sat beside him, thinking again and again, glancing at him several times with a conflicted expression.

After Jiang Xunzhou finally finished talking to his brother, he hung up the phone, held Yu You's hand, and explained, "Sorry, baby, I didn't mean to ignore you just now. I just wanted to resolve the instability as soon as possible to prevent the kidnapping from happening again."

"It's okay, I don't feel left out." Yu You mustered up the courage to ask, "Do you really like me?"

Jiang Xunzhou said helplessly: "What do I have to do for you to believe me?"

"Then I'll go back and tell you something." Yu You stared at Jiang Xunzhou eagerly, "After you've listened to me, we can consider our matter again. If you want to regret it by then, it's still not too late."

Jiang Xunzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I won't regret it."

Yu You was unconvinced: "I haven't told you yet, how do you know you won't regret it?"

"I just know it." Jiang Xunzhou raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Have you forgotten my engagement vows? From now on, I will stay by your side with loyalty, unchanging love, eternal trust and firm choice."

Yu You asked hesitantly, "Did you write this oath before... or after...?"

He was embarrassed to say directly that he liked the word.

What I want to ask is: when did you realize that you liked me?

Jiang Xunzhou easily understood what he wanted to ask and frankly admitted: "I wrote the wedding vows after I realized I liked you. Every word is my true thoughts."

Then he changed the subject: "As for when I started to realize that I liked you..."

Yu You stared at Jiang Xunzhou eagerly, his body leaning forward slightly, with an eagerness that he himself didn't even realize was there.

Jiang Xunzhou pinched the tip of Yu You's nose and said with a smile: "It's still a secret now. In exchange, I'll tell you after you tell me tonight."

Yu You asked anxiously, "Why not now?"

Jiang Xunzhou said, "We have to leave some surprises for our wedding night."

Wedding night.

These three words rushed into Yu You's mind, causing his cheeks to flush. He said, "I agreed to marry you at the engagement ceremony because of the contract, not because I really agreed to it."

"I know." Jiang Xunzhou nodded, not caring at all, and occasionally kneaded Yu You's fingers for fun. "But no matter what the reason, baby, you promised me, you can't go back on your word."

Yu You couldn't help but say, "I remember when we first signed the contract, you told me not to have any other ideas."

Jiang Xunzhou remained calm: "I did say that, but I didn't forbid me from having other thoughts about you."

Yu You was shocked by Jiang Xunzhou's shameless and specious theory.

Is this possible?

Jiang Xunzhou added: "And as the financial sponsor, I have the power to change the contract at any time, and now I allow you to do so."

Yu You warned: "Don't bully me because I don't know the law. Once the contract is signed, even if you are the party A, you can't change the terms at will."

Jiang Xunzhou happily replied, "It doesn't matter. Our contract was never meant to be seen in public, and it's not even legal. It's just a private agreement."

Yu You’s eyes widened.

How could there be such a person? He said all the good and bad things by himself.

Jiang Xunzhou added, "Although the contract agreement is no longer valid, we can sign a new marriage agreement to share my wealth and property, and spend my money reasonably."

Yu You became even more wary: "Why does it sound like you're trying to impress me with money?"

"Yeah, think about it again. After all, it's a good deal to promise me."

Jiang Xunzhou made no secret of his intentions. He leaned closer, opened his thin lips, and spoke in a gentle, alluring tone, "As long as you agree, my body and all the property under my name will belong to you from now on."

He took Yu You's hand, pressed it against his abdominal muscles, and asked with a kind of straightforward seduction: "Don't you like it?"

Through the thin fabric, the soft palm can still feel the strong and smooth lines of the abdominal muscles underneath, which are slightly tense and full of power.

Yu You wanted to solemnly declare that he was not the kind of person who coveted beauty and money, but as soon as his palm pressed down, he subconsciously touched the hard muscles twice, then reacted, struggled to retract his wrist, and said, "Be serious!"

Jiang Xunzhou suppressed his laughter: "Okay, I'll be serious."

Then he leaned back, pulled off his bow tie, and unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt. The lines of his chest muscles were faintly visible between the open collar. Because he was inevitably fed a few glasses of red wine at the dinner party, his wheat-colored skin was faintly revealing a sexy blush, which rose and fell slightly with his breathing.

His dark eyes stared at Yu You with a half-smile, and he slowly turned the silver ring on his finger.

Jiang Xunzhou's fingers were slender and powerful, with distinct lines. At this moment, he was casually turning the ring, reflecting the silver light. In his casualness, he had an indescribable attraction.

Yu You didn't know where to look. He turned his head away in a hurry, his face flushed, his heart beat faster, and he hid in the corner.

He tilted his head, revealing the tips of his emerald-red ears from his soft hair, and the slender snow-white neck below was also covered with a faint pink, which was extremely attractive.

Jiang Xunzhou's gaze lingered on the side of his neck, and he easily recalled the delicate and soft touch of that skin, as well as Yu You's pitiful and lovely reaction as he curled up in his arms after he bit it.

——She was sensitive and delicate, sobbing and shaking badly, with red eyes, and she was acting coquettishly, calling her husband softly and asking him for more.

His Adam's apple rolled unnaturally, and he looked away. He felt that his trousers were a little tight, and sat with his legs crossed as if nothing had happened.

The car stopped at the door of the villa.

The two got out of the car, tacitly said nothing, and went upstairs one after the other.

Yu You twisted his fingers, feeling uneasy: "How about we go to the study to talk?"

Jiang Xunzhou also had the same idea and nodded: "Okay."

They entered the study, Jiang Xunzhou took out the signed contract and placed it on the table, then hugged Yu You and sat him on his lap.

Yu You stared at the contract on the table in amazement: "What is this?..."

"This contract is no longer valid with me," Jiang Xunzhou explained. "You have another contract, and I'm handing it over to you along with this one. It's up to you to decide how to handle it."

Yu You asked embarrassedly: "Then, if I don't agree to you, but want to continue to uphold the contract, are you still willing to follow the agreement above... and accompany me?"

He also knew that this was not a good thing, but he was not sure whether Jiang Xunzhou would believe and accept what he said.

If Jiang Xunzhou doesn't believe or accept it, it means that he can't fully accept Jiang Xunzhou's love, but because of the passionate period, he needs someone to accompany him.

He hoped it was Jiang Xunzhou.

After all, he didn't know when it started, but he no longer had the thought of looking for someone else when he was in a passionate phase. Even when he was flustered by Jiang Xunzhou's strange attitude, when he found that his body showed the signs of a passionate phase, the first person he thought of was still him.

Jiang Xunzhou pinched Yu You's cheek and said, "Of course I do. Baby, no matter what you ask, as long as you want, I'm willing to do it."

His tone was so indulgent that it didn't sound like he was agreeing to the terms of the contract, but more like he was agreeing to a proposal.

Yu You's cheeks burned even more intensely. He mustered up some courage and sat in Jiang Xunzhou's arms. His clear eyes looked at him, a little uneasy, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you remember I asked you if you believed in the existence of the ABO world?"

Jiang Xunzhou's eyes were soft and filled with a kind of pity, and he whispered, "Baby, I remember."
