Just then a woman's voice interrupted them.
"Yibo?!"
Xiao Zhan flinches to the loud voice and pushes Yibo with all of his force. His face flushed in scarlet because of what probably might have happened if not with the voice who interrupted them just now. He internally questioned himself for neither fighting nor rejecting Lan Yibo's shameless attempt but thanked heaven anyways for the unsuccessful attack because it would be awkward working with his client who had just stolen his first kiss and a top of that he is a male!
Lan Yibo didn't even wince and move a little after his strong push! The man is incredibly strong and was just staring at him with his impassive face.
"Yibo?" The woman spoke again with annoyance this time because he was ignored by the two; and so this time, Wei Zhan and Lan Yibo looked at the owner of the annoying voice.
She was standing outside the door, crossing her hands on her chest; sulking. She's petite but her beauty outshines even though her sour face is evident due to whatever reason it is! She was wearing a golden yellow dress matched with her for sure- a Jimmy Choo brand of leather sandals, yellow-painted nails, and ruby- red lipstick shade. Her skin white- smooth and healthy; her shoulder-length wavy hair so good on her. She's a masterpiece! "So gorgeous like a Fairy!" Zhan internally mumbled, "Yellow might be her favorite color".
While Wei Zhan was busy admiring the beauty in front of them, Lan Yibo frowned, obviously hating the woman's existence and her interruption earlier.
"Yibo you don't give me that face!" the woman said shockingly, "Are you not happy seeing me?".
She was no other than Princess Aster of Lanling Jin. After her talk with King Quiren, she also talked and lied to his father so that he can come to the human world and be with Prince Lan Wangji. She decided not to be demure towards him anymore and show him his feelings before it's too late. Coming here with the low-leveled Encanto's who used to be Lan Wangji's representative and telling her he is Lan Yibo in the human world.
"What are you doing here Aster? I don't remember inviting you here"
She went to Yibo, "Your father told me you're here and he wanted me to be here. You look good in these clothes", she says, pouting and attempting to hold Yibo's arms but the other man immediately avoids her just before she can touch him.
Aster's face paints a pained reaction from Yibo's avoidance like she has a contagious disease and she's not allowed to talk or touch him. But immediately composed herself "it's just the beginning Aster, patience" she reminded herself as she expected this already.
Wei Zhan looked at the two puzzlingly.
Her gaze went to Zhan. "And you are?"
Lan Yibo was about to answer but Zhan as fast as the Flash, he extends his hands "Hi, I'm Wei Zhan from The Creative Lab"
"Oh," she said and then Aster looked at the hand extended in front of her. "What do you want me to do with your hand?"
"A-ah?" Zhan tilted his head questioningly and then looked at Yibo. Yibo immediately grabbed the hanged hand and pulled him inside the house. Aster abruptly follows; her mind almost in havoc while looking at the two.
Yibo secretly chuckles in delight while looking at Zhan's reaction as he astonishingly surveys the house with his mouth agape
He expected this, but seeing his actions made him proud to himself.
Wei Zhan looked at Yibo completely ignoring the woman in a golden- yellow dress. "Wow! Who designed your house M-Mr. Ah, Y-yibo?"
Yibo smiled at him "so cute even you stutter" he mumbles.
Aster looked at Yibo in surprise as that was her first time seeing the Prince smiled. It is well-known in Elysian that the Second Prince of Gusu Kingdom never showed his emotion publicly that's why her eldest brother Prince Zixuan questioned him why of all Encanto's in Elysian she liked the Prince the most; he looked like a living dead, as he showed no emotion at all. But all those remarks easily faded away seeing the smile and she is so determined to see that again.
"Me. I designed it myself" Yibo says
"Wow! How did you do it? I mean just wow! It's my first time seeing a simple and tiny house from the outside but the inside is just so magnificent!" he commented
Aster is getting impatient and tired listening to Zhan's feedback.
"Aren't you two hungry? I mean, I cooked" she interrupted
Yibo looks at her sharply as if telling her to go away, go back now to Elysian. But Aster is stubbornly in love with the Prince and she won't accept defeat, not yet.
"Uhm I am actually hungry already," Zhan says.
"Then let's eat together!" Aster announces and dashes off to the kitchen
Lan Xichen saw a familiar silhouette walking towards the last door of Pleasure House. The man is wearing a purple and white Hanfu and even he can only see his back from which he was standing, he can clearly identify the person.
"Jiang Cheng!" Lan Xichen confidently called the person as he was sure that no one was around in the underground area of the house. It has 2 rooms only; left aisle and right aisle rooms and are exclusively for VVIE (Very Very Important Encanto ) only.
The purple clothed Encanto halted his step and quickly turned to see the owner of the voice who had just called him, "fuck" he internally groaned; afraid that someone has come to know his secret. But as far as he knew before coming to the Pleasure House, he made sure that his disguise is perfect that no one would see or know him as the Prince of Yunmeng. That's why he traveled this far from his home to avoid things like this.
Lan Xichen showed a smug smile as this is the second most unexpected event so far in his life- after Lan Zhan's sudden announcement that he'll marry Zhan.
He used his prowess to approached the other hastily and within a flash, he's already in front of Jiang Cheng- just an inches away from him.
"Xichen?! Lan Xichen, what are you doing here?" Jiang Cheng almost popped his eyes out of surprise.
Lan Xichen can't help but laugh as he was amused looking at a very embarrassed Prince. "Same business as yours?" He replied teasingly. "Wanna join? My room is over there".
Obviously, Jiang Cheng was not happy with Xichen's invitation. "No thanks!" He replied frustratingly and proceeded to his room but Lan Xichen spoke playfully "Fine. Maybe next time? Don't worry our secret is safe with me" he chuckles as he went his way to his room. Jiang Cheng on the other hand has lost his interest to having sex in the house.
It's been 2 months since Mr. Lan approved Wei Zhan's design and supervised the making of the yacht. To be clear, it's not really necessary for Zhan's presence to be there but Lan Yibo insisted and every time he called the Creative Lab office, his boss would just allow him to do whatever Mr. Lan's decision was.
There's this one time when Ms. Yang Mi, uninvitedly went to the supervising warehouse where the yacht is assembled. She literally made a scene and dragged Wei Zhan out of that warehouse and when Lan Yibo saw the entire drama he drastically almost went berserk, scaring the whole out of shit Ms. Yang Mi has. Wei Zhan obviously doesn't like the woman but he felt pity when Lan Yibo's men dragged the woman out and warned her not to come back again.
As for the second Prince of Gusu, he has no intention of returning Zhan in that company.
As also for Wei Zhan's POV, he already adjusted Lan Yibo's attitude and the woman that is named Aster. The worst adjustment he went through was the horrible foods the two are accustomed to. The food that always served is Bland like literally! He tried sneaking salt once but Aster got furious and scared at the same time.
A/N: it is believed that Encantos don't like salt.
For Mr. Lan, he didn't know that he could be that shameless as he always reminded him of his long-overdue three kisses.
And today is no exemption, but this time is different As he was cornered in the tiny hallway going to his room. Lan Yibo pinned him in the nearest wall and kissed him hungrily without hesitation.
Wei Zhan didn't know why he reciprocated the kiss. Somehow the kiss felt right especially when Lan Yibo talked between their kisses like "I've been wanting to do this to you Zhan" "you're mine, mine only" these phrases give an indescribable warmth to his heart. Zhan's kisses were a mess, thankfully Yibo is a good kisser and manages to be the in-charge of that sweet and steamy kisses.
They entangled their hands and both laughs after sharing the passionate kiss.
Moreover, all of the happenings had shocked the Princess of Lanling. Now that she's sure that Prince Wangji is serious about the human, she had to do her job- to eliminate Wei Zhan in anyways just for him to disappear in their lives so that she can have the Prince all by herself.
And an idea popped on her mind.
To Kidnap Zhan and throw him to a slave house.
