Xu Zhiyuan returned the next night.

Jin Nan had just experienced a big battle during the day. When he got home at nearly eleven o'clock at night, he found Xu Zhiyuan sitting in the living room with his coat on and his suitcase still at hand.

On the table was a box of Jinnan's favorite cake, the shape of which was intact, and the cream was almost melted.

Jinnan approached, but before he reached him, Xu Zhiyuan heard the footsteps, raised his head, rubbed his tired brows, and smiled.

"I'll let the housekeeper rest first. Have you been drinking? I'll make you some hangover soup."

Jinnan took the phone out of his hand, hugged Xu Zhiyuan's waist and sat directly in his arms. She buried her soft head in the crook of Xu Zhiyuan's neck and sniffed the air like a puppy.

"Brother." Jin Nan said sullenly, "Those guys outside are bad, help me deal with them."

Xu Zhiyuan lowered his eyes, his gaze swept across Jinnan's fragile neck, and stripped off his suit that was tight due to force.

Jin Nan had obvious dark circles under his eyes. Feeling Xu Zhiyuan's outstretched hand, Jin Nan put his face close to his and rubbed it lovingly.

Jinnan has grown up, but he is still the same child who looks at Xu Zhiyuan awkwardly, wants to get closer but is hesitant. He has no one he can trust in the world anymore, Xu Zhiyuan is the only one.

Xu Zhiyuan will not let him down.

"Leave the rest to me." Xu Zhiyuan blindfolded him and moved slightly closer. When Jinnan felt his breath, he opened his mouth by himself.

Jin Nan waited for a long time, until he felt a little uneasy, and asked anxiously: "No kiss? I didn't drink..."

The second half of the sentence was interrupted by a passionate kiss. Jin Nan felt dizzy from the kiss on the back of his head. Even though he had learned to dodge the teeth, it still hurt.

Some were sucked, and some were bitten intentionally by Xu Zhiyuan.

The old Xu Zhiyuan would definitely not dare to do this, but Jin Nan was too indulgent to him. The tolerance of Jin Nan gave Xu Zhiyuan a feeling that even if Xu Zhiyuan retaliated and paid back all that Jin Nan had done and had not done, Jin Nan would nod and agree.

He can give a lot with just a little bit of love, and the same goes for Xu Zhiyuan.

"Xiao Nan, you'll stay home starting tomorrow." Xu Zhiyuan whispered in his ear, "I want to lock you up so you can only see me every day."

Jin Nan's back went weak after hearing this. He couldn't think of a response for a long time. His rationality had long been disconnected and he couldn't find any reason to weigh the pros and cons.

He just felt extremely happy, happier than being hugged tightly or penetrated deeply.

He has been waiting for Xu Zhiyuan's true face for a long time.

Jinnan bit Xu Zhiyuan's shoulder so hard that it almost drew blood. He then released his teeth and licked it carefully. "Okay, I've prepared everything."

"What?" Xu Zhiyuan breathed heavier.

"Chains, handcuffs, and..." Jinnan said, "I've prepared everything. I was planning to use them to tie you up if you tried to escape."

But Xu Zhiyuan did not leave. He always stood behind Jinnan and loved her more than Jinnan thought.

Some secrets are buried in the abyss. Since Xu Zhiyuan is willing to open his heart and confess, Jinnan will also be honest.

They are the same, from the beginning to now.

"I won't run away." Xu Zhiyuan hugged Jinnan tightly, his movements gentler than before.

Jinnan felt that this force was heavier than ever before, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

"Xu Zhiyuan."

"Um."

Jinnan thought of the night when there were only Mars. They stayed in the dark for too long, their words were hidden, and their hearts became opaque.

Since Xu Zhiyuan is a coward, a stingy fool, let him be brave.

He is not afraid.

"I've never told you this officially." Jin Nan leaned over to his ear and spoke word by word, "I. Love. You."

Xu Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, then replied dryly, "Okay."

Jinnan narrowed his eyes and stared for a long time, a little annoyed: "Is this how you deal with me?"

Something was changing. Jinnan had always sensed it, but now it was clearer.

"You're really not going to work tomorrow?" Xu Zhiyuan's nose touched his, his voice gentle.

His voice was a little hoarse from exhaustion. When Xu Zhiyuan wasn't styling his hair, it would just hang down obediently, plastered against Jinnan's cheek. His eyes were bloodshot, thick with lust.

He may not be very close to Jinnan, but he likes her so much that he is willing to endure it.

Jinnan couldn't refuse him anymore.

The next day, Jinnan slept until the afternoon.

Xu Zhiyuan's watch and shirt were placed on the bedside. As if he was afraid that Jinnan would not be able to find him when he woke up, there was a note under the watch.

Jinnan picked it up and took a look. It was the recipe for the day written by Xu Zhiyuan for him.

As he had said yesterday, Jin Nan did not go to work today. Xu Zhiyuan did not restrict his movements. Jin Nan got dressed, got up and walked around, only to find that all the car keys in the house were gone.

There are no restrictions on movement, but you are not allowed to go out.

While having lunch, Jinnan took a photo. Xu Zhiyuan, who was sitting opposite him, came back after more than ten minutes and told him to eat more vegetables.

Jinnan: "Brother, my butt hurts."

Xu Zhiyuan was typing when the screen lit up for about half a minute, and it took a long time for him to reply.

"The medicine is in the master bedroom on the second floor. Take some for yourself. Wait for me to come back in the evening."

Jinnan could almost imagine Xu Zhiyuan's panic as he typed these words. To deal with this cold-faced, warm-hearted man, Jinnan had his own little tricks.

As for the consequences, we will talk about them later.

After finishing a nutritious meal, it was still early. Jin Nan checked his contacts and found that none of his close friends could accompany him.

Lin Jiaze's small company had just gotten back on track, and it was a very busy time. Li Hongfang had been irritated by Jin Nan a while ago, so he left the kitten with him and Lin Jiaze and went abroad.

The Li family's ban on the second young master was temporarily lifted for one month. I wonder where Li Hongfang is feeding whales now.

The kitten Monica followed Jinnan with her tail erect, and she went up the stairs much more easily than Jinnan.

Jinnan was restless, wanting to play games, but he couldn't sit still. He ended up curled up on the sofa in the audio-visual room, hugging his cat and sighing silently.

It’s not easy to be a canary.

Xu Zhiyuan dug the person out at night. Jinnan was almost asleep with a blanket in his arms. He was covered in cat hair, and his hair was licked into a mess by Monica.

Seeing Xu Zhiyuan, Jin Nan reached out subconsciously, but he couldn't sit up and almost sprained his waist.

"Alas, what are we going to do with our lives from now on? If you give me a few twists, I'll just fall apart."

Jinnan rubbed his waist and stood up. He turned around and saw Xu Zhiyuan staring at him and actually smiling.

"Are you laughing at me?" Jin Nan leaned forward, pretending to be angry, and was wondering whether to kiss or hug her first.

Xu Zhiyuan put his arm around his waist, rubbed it twice, and apologized: "I'm sorry."

Jinnan smiled and took a bite. The culprit showed no remorse at all and was visibly in a very happy mood.

"Are those guys still making noise?" Jin Nan asked in a low voice.

Those guys, of course, were referring to Hua Lin's dishonest shareholders. Everyone was simmering with dissatisfaction towards Jin Nan, the young and inexperienced heir, but they didn't dare to express it.

Jin Nan became famous throughout the company for monitoring Xu Zhiyuan. People who were familiar with him believed that this young master was putting too much pressure on General Manager Xu.

Is Xu Zhiyuan someone who can be manipulated forever? Judging from his past behavior, the moment he truly takes power will be the death of Jinnan, the dandy young master.

Jinnan's absence from work marked the beginning of his "loss of power".

At least that's what people outside think.

The fact was that Jinnan's legs were numb from sleeping and he couldn't walk, so Xu Zhiyuan had to carry him down the stairs.

Jinnan: "Zhiyuan, can you come back early tomorrow?"

Xu Zhiyuan: "What's wrong?"

Jinnan: "My house is too big. I'm afraid of ghosts."

Xu Zhiyuan: "...Okay."

On the day when the news that Geng Guangsong was under investigation reached home, Jinnan took Ms. Monica, who had gained weight at home, to make a cake, and his hands were covered with egg liquid and cream.

The phone rang for half a minute before it was hurriedly picked up. The person who called was Lu Yiqing. She quickly reported the news and packed up everything and sent it over.

Jinnan was certainly not oblivious to what was happening outside, but there were very few things that required him to worry about, or perhaps it could be said that Xu Zhiyuan had prepared too much.

This was a revenge that Xu Zhiyuan had planned long ago.

He had already begun preparations when Jin Licheng assigned Xu Zhiyuan the manpower to conduct his own investigation. Finding the real culprit behind the scenes was not enough; he wanted to settle the matter thoroughly and bring it to a clean end.

Xu Xingwen, bodyguards, bribed criminals, and even Jin Nan were all part of his plan.

Geng Guangsong still had a look of surprise on his face when he was taken away. He didn't expect Xu Zhiyuan to attack him. After all, what he did was secretive enough that no one knew about it except Jin Licheng.

Jin Licheng is already dead.

Geng Guangsong thought that Jin Licheng would not open up to his adopted son, and his biological son was such a clumsy and uncivilized fool. How could there be anyone in the world who would settle accounts with him?

However, he was wrong.

Jin Licheng is not a dictatorial person, and Jin Nan is not that stupid. Geng Guangsong's only breakthrough is the ambiguous relationship between the two. When Jin Nan and Xu Zhiyuan stand on the same line, Xu Zhiyuan no longer has a weak spot.

Taking advantage of Hualin's turmoil, Xu Zhiyuan took over a large number of Geng Guangsong's resources and connections. From beginning to end, Jin Nan did not show up, and he was still the young master with clean hands.

When the first snow fell in Lido Jinnan, Jinnan took the verdict and Xu Zhiyuan to Jin Licheng's tomb.

The small pine tree planted a year ago seemed to have grown taller. Jinnan placed white chrysanthemums on it and looked at the middle-aged man with a handsome smile on the tombstone.

In the past, he was teased and amused by this unreliable old father, and they did not have much feelings for each other. In the secular sense, Jin Licheng was not a good person, at least he had let down a lot of people who were sincere.

But he never had a family in his life, and the only person he let down was Jinnan's mother, who had no way to make amends and could only treat Jinnan twice as well.

Jin Licheng is a prodigal son, an imperfect person, and an incompetent father.

Jinnan was not qualified to judge him, and neither was Xu Zhiyuan.

"Daddy, Zhiyuan and I are together." Jinnan carefully wiped the dust from the grave. "If you were still alive, you would definitely be furious to hear this news, but there's nothing I can do. You can't control me now."

As he said this, he showed a triumphant smile, and Xu Zhiyuan looked at him helplessly.

Jinnan squatted for a while, then sat down cross-legged and slowly recounted everything that had happened in the past year. Xu Zhiyuan sat beside him and listened, reminiscing about the distant past.

A single, prodigal son of advanced age, a child without parents, this family only began to slowly function after Jinnan joined. Xu Zhiyuan was already past the age of longing for family warmth, but at this moment, he missed many people.

Uncle Jin, Mom and Dad, did you see it?
