063: "But I really am getting married."

Huai Yan's body stiffened, and her mind went blank.

He hadn't expected Fu Tingyu to return so quickly.

The man returned from the company in almost half an hour.

Normally, it takes an hour.

Huai Yan barely realized what was happening, quickly pushed Jiang Ze's hand away, and pulled the iron chain back.

“Sir,” Huaiyan called weakly, her eyes brimming with tears, “I…”

Jiang Ze's hand suddenly went empty, and he subconsciously looked at the boy.

In the boy's eyes, there was fear, dread, and also love.

Ignoring what shouldn't be there, Jiang Ze knew the boy was afraid.

He quickly composed himself, who had been somewhat flustered, and stood in front of Huaiyan.

"Yan Yan," Jiang Ze said, "Don't be afraid. With me here, no one can lock you up."

The boy shook his head in fear, took a step back, and tears instantly streamed down his face.

He wanted to distance himself from Jiang Ze and sever ties with him.

So that Fu Tingyu would forget this point when he was doing the accounting.

But Jiang Ze firmly believed that he was afraid and was reluctant to move.

The current scene makes it seem as if the two are on a united front, working together to deal with Fu Tingyu.

The man, however, was isolated and helpless.

This realization inexplicably made the boy feel sad.

But Jiang Ze blocked his way, so he couldn't get out at all.

“No, sir,” Huaiyan pleaded, looking at Fu Tingyu, “I didn’t…”

"I told you!"

Jiang Ze suddenly grabbed Huai Yan's pale wrist, trying to comfort her, "You don't need to be afraid, you don't need to try to please him, he already has someone else!"

The boy looked into the man's eyes, his pupils dilating slightly.

Yes, Fu Tingyu has a fiancée.

Perhaps the two of them will get married and have children in the future.

As long as the plot unfolds normally, Fu Tingyu's future has nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, Huaiyan was caught in a dilemma.

He could only remain silent, meeting the man's gaze, trying to find a flaw in the other's eyes.

“I didn’t expect President Fu to be this kind of person,” Jiang Ze sneered, mockingly saying, “He has someone else outside, yet he still clings to her.”

Fu Tingyu didn't move, and upon hearing this, his expression didn't even change.

“I didn’t expect it either,” the man’s voice was deep and husky, as if brewing some kind of storm, “that Young Master Jiang would meddle in other people’s family affairs.”

"What family matter?!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ze suddenly raised his voice, glaring fiercely at Fu Tingyun without showing any emotion.

Even in this situation, Fu Tingyu is still pretending to be calm.

Jiang Ze scoffed. The man clearly looked like a virtuous gentleman, and no matter what, he would remain unmoved by temptation.

I never expected him to be such a hypocrite.

"You call this a family matter?" Jiang Ze glared at him. "You locked him up because you wanted to take him for yourself, didn't you? You already have a fiancée, why can't you let him go?!"

Huai Yan's heart stirred.

If Fu Tingyu were to object at this point, he would trust men one last time.

He can stay as long as the other party says in person that he "does not have a fiancée".

Surprisingly, Fu Tingyu did not refute it.

The man simply watched the farce unfold in silence.

His dark red eyes were fixed on Huai Yan.

It was a cold, chilling gaze.

"Baby." Fu Tingyu's voice was a little tired, and he ignored Jiang Ze's madness.

He asked the boy softly, but his words were incredibly cruel: "You want to go with him, don't you?"

The boy's eyes trembled, and he subconsciously avoided the man's gaze.

He didn't dare answer the question and could only bury his head and look at his toes.

Even though the two had once shared intimate moments, like lovers.

Fu Tingyu also uttered countless sweet words and loving phrases when he was moved by emotions.

But sometimes, Huaiyan was still afraid of him.

At this moment, Huaiyan looked just like a child who had made a mistake, standing there helplessly.

“Yes.” Jiang Ze answered first, helping the boy answer, “He just wants to leave with me and never wants to see you again in his life.”

Jiang Ze's words were particularly harsh.

And they showed no mercy to Fu Tingyu whatsoever.

However, Huaiyan did not agree with Jiang Ze's words.

The boy still cowered, trying to hide himself.

He didn't check the news on his phone and didn't know if what Jiang Ze said was true.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance that it's true, Huaiyan has to leave today.

What if it's fake?

What if the fact that Fu Tingyu had a fiancée was just something Jiang Ze made up to trick him into leaving?

This idea was quickly rejected by Huaiyan.

Fu Tingyu just now didn't refute Jiang Ze's words, so there's a fifty percent chance.

It's true.

And now, just in time, is the best opportunity to leave.

The boy naturally didn't know how to answer Fu Tingyu.

He would rather be Jiang Ze, dragging him away by force.

“Host,” 073 reminded him, “you can’t leave. You have to protect Fu Tingyu.”

The boy paused as soon as he finished speaking.

Yes.

He cannot leave Fu Tingyu now.

Because the final major plot point is about to begin.

If he were to leave Fu Tingyu, Jiang Ze, or Jiang Zhi, he might make a move on a man.

Jiang Ze has the protagonist's halo; if he succeeds, all the missions will fail.

He cannot leave a man just because he has a fiancée.

Huaiyan nodded obediently, her voice trembling as she tried to hold back a sob: "I...I know."

No matter how wronged you feel, you must not act impulsively.

Jiang Ze, however, did not notice the boy's unusual behavior.

All he knew was that Huai Yan had wavered and wanted to leave with him, to escape Fu Tingyu.

So Jiang Ze turned around and tried to grab Huai Yan's wrist.

But at this moment, Fu Tingyu's lips curved into a very faint smile.

No one noticed.

The man already knew the ending.

"Come here." Fu Tingyu said in a calm tone, addressing the boy, "Baby."

Jiang Ze was taken aback.

Before he could even react to the situation,

The petite and handsome young man had already passed by him and timidly walked up to Fu Tingyu.

The chains on his wrists and ankles made a dragging, dull thud.

"gentlemen."

The boy obediently grabbed Fu Tingyu's hand, wanting to explain something, but in the end he just let out a soft cry.

Asking your fiancée questions now would be like asking yourself a cruel joke.

"Yan Yan!" Jiang Ze's eyes widened in shock at the sight. "Come back! Didn't you say you were coming with me?"

Huaiyan gripped the man's palm and gave it a sharp shake.

He secretly observed Fu Tingyu's expression, afraid that the man would be angry.

However, the man's expression still revealed no emotion.

Huai Yan guiltily looked away and apologized to Jiang Ze: "But...but now, I don't want to go with you."

Then, the situation evolved into Jiang Ze staring at Huai Yan in disbelief.

“You’re lying.” Jiang Ze denied the boy’s words with absolute certainty. “Yan Yan, you clearly want to leave him.”

As he spoke, Jiang Ze coldly shifted his gaze to Fu Tingyu: "You know he has someone else outside, so why should you wrong yourself?"

When Huaiyan's secret was exposed, her already not-so-sharp tongue immediately gave way.

The boy stood beside Fu Tingyu, his eyes lowered weakly, his face pale.

It's not that he doesn't want to leave.

Rather than staying here and getting in the way of Fu Tingyu and his fiancée, it's better to follow Jiang Ze and step into another tiger's den.

The boy's silence immediately quieted down the two people facing off inside the room.

Jiang Ze suddenly found himself short of breath.

His eyes were mostly red, and he turned his anger towards Fu Tingyu: "If you're still a man, you should let him go."

"No, that's not it," Huai Yan's soft, choked voice rang out.

With tears streaming down his face, the boy finally managed to gather his thoughts.

Even knowing that Fu Tingyu might have someone else, he still didn't want to leave the man's side for even a moment.

Perhaps he should immediately follow Jiang Ze and retaliate against Fu Tingyu.

But just now, when the boy saw the man standing alone at the door of the room, his heart softened instantly.

He was conflicted; he wanted to stay by Fu Tingyu's side, yet he also hoped that he would be the only one by Fu Tingyu's side.

But Fu Tingyu could never be alone.

Men are born to be the center of attention and surrounded by flowers.

"Jiang Ze, you should leave." Huai Yan rubbed her swollen eyes and hid behind Fu Tingyu. "I stayed here voluntarily."

Even his first time with Fu Tingyu was entirely with his consent.

Otherwise, with 073 around, Huaiyan could abandon the mission and leave the world at any time.

They won't give Fu Tingyu any chance at all.

"You..." Jiang Ze clenched his fists, wanting to say something more.

After thinking it over and understanding the current situation, he still didn't choose to confront it head-on, and only said, "Yan Yan, what if you regret it?"

"You can come to see me anytime."

After saying that, Jiang Ze took a deep breath, brushed past the two of them, and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as Jiang Ze reached the door, he was restrained by two bodyguards standing outside.

Huaiyan had no interest in listening to what happened next.

He was indeed grateful to Jiang Ze for saving him.

But Huaiyan was also well aware of the desires behind Jiang Ze's purpose.

Especially after seeing the love marks all over his body.

"You want to leave."

After the room fell completely silent, Fu Tingyu turned his head and began to speak calmly.

It was as if he had already discovered the boy's thoughts.

"No, I didn't..." Huaiyan retorted subconsciously, tears welling up in her red and swollen eyes again.

Fu Tingyu remained silent.

Even after all this time, men still excel at remaining silent.

He picked Huaiyan up and gently placed her on the bed.

“I don’t have a fiancée,” Fu Tingyu suddenly said.

"Ah..." The boy blinked, somewhat surprised.

Half surprise, half joy.

Fu Tingyu took the initiative to explain to him.

Fu Tingyu has no fiancée.

This idea almost overwhelmed Huaiyan.

But before they could even be happy for a minute...

Huaiyan then heard Fu Tingyu's cold, deep voice, yet filled with tender affection.

“But I am indeed getting married.” The man looked up and stared straight at him.
