Bing Wen had travelled from Shanghai a few days ago worried about his bestie who didn't answer his calls for a full week. The moment he reached Beijing, he went to Hao Tieng's family home thinking he would still be unemployed since his parents were filthy rich.
Hao Tieng's mother was extremely happy to see the blonde, filling his stomach with food till he couldn't anymore. Since Lu Feng and Bing Wen had some unsorted romantic history, they avoided each other like the plague. The moment he found out Hao Tieng had actually gotten a job in the best interior design company in the City. He didn't waste anytime, cursing his bestie for not informing him about everything that happened the last 2months.
Bing Wen had waited for Hao Tieng at his desk for a good five minutes. When he saw a beautiful meimei coming out of the black doors infront of him. Even though he was gay he found himself drooling over her. Finally mastering the energy to speak he asked "Excuse me Miss. Do you know where I can find Xiu Hao Tieng?"
"His currently talking to The CEO. He'll be out in a second." Bi Yu answered making her way towards the elevator.
***************
"Boyfriend?" Bing Wen asked looking over at the hand tightening possessively around his blushing bestie's waist. He had a crush on Hao Tieng back in highschool but was rejected since Hao Tieng wasn't gay. Bing Wen atleast wanted to remain friends with Hao Tieng hoping that one day the stud would fall for him. Although it was awkward at first, they made it work with Hao Tieng setting Bing Wen up so as to make the dude forget about him. And now, the same guy was standing right infront of him next to a possessive male god.
"Let go of me." Hao Tieng said trying to free himself from the possessive Quadbrid. Seeing that his efforts were of no use. He looked straight into Gang Zhi's eyes, making sad puppy dog eyes "Atleast let me talk to my bestie. He came all the way from Shanghai just to see me. Now let me go." but his eyes clearly didn't work as Gang Zhi just put on a grin.
"Just let me borrow Xiu Hao Tieng for a few minutes and I promise I'll bring him back." Bing Wen said. Seemed like Gang Zhi actually listened to the blonde as he freed Hao Tieng.
Hao Tieng didn't waste any second, gripping Bing Wen's wrist leading them both outside.
Gang Zhi, on the other hand hadn't let go of Hao Tieng because Bing Wen kindly asked him to but because of the sudden mention of the name 'Xiu'. All this time he didn't really know Hao Tieng's full name or identity and there was a big chance that he was somehow related to Miss Xiu.
"So..... are you gay now?" Bing Wen asked gritting his teeth. He was jealous of The CEO. The bastard got what he always wanted. Hao Tieng knew that the blonde might actually be angry with him. Since he had rejected him multiple times on the basis that he wasn't attracted to guys and yet here he was impatient for the time Gang Zhi would pound into him mercilessly.
"Well...No, am not." he answered
"But he just said your his boyfriend."
"Our relationship is not yet official but I do like him. Although he seems cold."
"So..Ur gay."
"I mean I am not attracted to other guys it's just him." Hao Tieng realized the unsatisfied look the blonde gave him and tried to rephrase his words. "I'm only attracted to Gang Zhi not any other person whether male or female. But...." he added trying to change the topic.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Bing Wen looked at the blue eyed male before he yelled at him. "You bastard. I've been calling you for the past week but you weren't answering and I got worried. Then when I reached, I went straight to your house despite the fact that Lu Feng was there, hoping to find you but you weren't there. So I asked your mother, Ms. Xiu and she told me where you worked. Do you know how worried I was you bastard? Why didn't you tell me you and Shao Mei broke up? What happened last week anyway?"
"Last week . My feelings were kinda everywhere. I had a lot going on in my head that I didn't bother about the outside world." Hao Tieng answered forgetting to mention about his suicide attempt. Gang Zhi who had been listening in on the besties' conversation froze when he heard "Your mother,Ms Xiu."
Now he was certain about his suspicions. 'If Hao Tieng is the son of Miss Xiu, how come he didn't know about supernatural creatures. But what if he really is her son then that would make him a...' he shook his head multiple times to get the thought out of his head. Although it would be exciting for Hao Tieng to be Miss Xiu's son, he really didn't want him to be.
Storming out of his office. He paused next to the two guys. "I hate to interrupt your gossip but I unintentionally heard you mention Miss Xiu and was curious about her second name." Gang Zhi asked hoping he didn't sound ridiculous. Hao Tieng and Bing Wen eyed each other before Hao Tieng asked. "Why do you want to know my mom's other name?"
"Trust me baby. Just tell me the name." Gang Zhi answered planting a kiss on Hao Tieng's fingers. The gesture sent chills down Hao Tieng's spine as he answered. "Sying Lian Xiu. Now are you gonna tell me why your suddenly curious."
Gang Zhi completely froze 'It can't be. Hao Tieng is her son. How can he be related to The Queen of Dragons and not even know it?' He snapped out of his daze and looked straight into Hao Tieng's eyes. "I need you to take me to her."
"Why?" Hao Tieng asked furrowing his brows. Gang Zhi thought of a simple way to lie to Hao Tieng. There was still a chance that he was completely wrong. That it was just a coincidence that they had the same exact name and if it was true then his mother had a reason for not telling him.
"Because I think she's in danger."
