"Can I speak to you for a moment..?" Suddenly he heard a voice.
Lee Fengge wiped his tears and looked back. Seeing the face that was so tender yet similar to that person's face made him instinctively nod his head.
"Thank you.." Xiaochen said politely.
"Well, I don't think this is an appropriate place to talk. We should move to the garden.." Saying this Xiaochen began to walk. Lee Fengge followed behind. For each step he took he began to get nervous.
...….
Lee Fengge looked at the person standing in front of him. He looked more or like that person. The obvious similarity is their hair.. Xiaochen looks much more delicate and cute. Anyone can tell that they are blood brothers just from their looks. Suddenly Lee Fengge remembered what happened in the Mall that day. He mistakenly thought that they were dating.
Remembering it made him feel more and more embarrassed.
'How can I even misunderstand their relationship.Even a fool can tell that they are brothers…' He sighed internally.
"I must have disturbed you.." Xiaochen's voice brought him back from his thoughts.
"No… It's not like that.." Lee Fengge said.
"Well, I really didn't get any chance to formally introduce myself.. Hello, I am Gu Xiaochen, Current CEO Gu group and Younger brother of Gu Weicheng.." Xiaochen said, extending his hand.
Lee Fengge looked at Xiaochen's hand and then glanced at his face. Don't know why, he knew that Xiaochen was smiling and was greeting but he felt no friendliness from that smile. And the way Xiaochen introduced him also made him feel uncomfortable. Still Lee Fengge extended his hand and responded with a smile.
"Hello, I am Lee Fengge. Executive Director of Lee group." They shook hands.
"You must be wondering why I called you here..Right..?" Xiaochen said looking at Fengge with a friendly smile. If Bai Zen saw this smile, he would have immediately realised this smile is exactly the same as the one he showed to those old geezer's of Gu group before.
Though Lee Fengge didn't know anything about it, still his instinct told him there is no friendliness in this conversation. So he stood silently. His smile also disappeared.
"Oh.. you don't have to look so serious. I just want to have a friendly chat with a fellow person.." Xiaochen said playfully.
Lee Fengge didn't say anything and looked at Xiaochen with questioning eyes…
"Don't look at me like that, at least we shared a fiance before, so we can be called fellows." Xiaochen chuckled. Lee Fengge looked at Xiaochen and frowned. He could hear the sarcasm in that voice.
Lee Fengge sighed.
"Does Young master Gu hate me because you think I am the reason your ex fiance broke up with you..?" He asked uncertainly.
"Whoa… Do you think I am foolish enough to hate you just because you helped me escape from a sc*mbag, who i really wanted to get rid of?. And a selfish baste*d like him won't do anything for others, I know that much." Xiaochen tilted his head and looked at Fengge. Seeing the confusion and question in Xiaochen's eyes he smiled which didn't reach his eyes.
"But you are not entirely wrong with the part where you said I hate you.." He looked at Fengge with the same smile as before.
"But the reason is entirely different though." He said.
Lee Fengge narrowed his eyes..
"Well, I don't think apart from your ex-fiance's matter, I had ever done anything that could make the second young master Gu feel offended and hate me." His voice was firm and deep.
"Yeah.. you are right." Xiaochen nodded his head and walked forward.
"I was confused too. I was wondering why I hate someone who helped me so much. In fact, with our background and personality, we should have been best friends. You know.." Xiaochen said
"Then…."Lee Fengge was about to say something but suddenly got interrupted.
"But today, I suddenly realised the reason for this.." Xiaochen stood in front of Lee Fengge who looked at him in confusion.
"I just don't like that aura from your body." He paused and shook his head.
"No..No..No..More specifically, I don't like that aura staying ON your body.." Xiaochen said. But the previous friendly smile suddenly disappeared from his face and it turned entirely cold..
Lee Fengge flinched. And he looked at Xiaochen in shock and took a step back.. He suddenly realised what Xiaochen is specifying.
Ordinary omegas can never feel each other's aura. Especially if the Omega is bonded. But there were exceptions. Like how a mother can realise who the child is just from the familiar feeling. A family can easily identify each other's Pheromones. Most importantly, if it's on another person, they can feel it when they get close to them. Fengge clenched his fist.
"I..I don't understand .." He said without looking at Xiaochen.
Xiaochen chuckled.
"You clearly know what I am saying." He tilted his head and said,
"I know my brother.. From childhood, he was the one who raised me because our parents loved us but didn't really have much time for us. So, we are everything to each other and now we only have each other." Xiaochen finally showed a sincere smile in nostalgia but Fengge didn't feel any better.
"So what I am saying is, my brother will never do something that I hate." Xiaochen looked at Lee Fengge and his face became grim.
"But I know my brother and he is too stubborn. If he wants something nobody can stop him from making it his, including me. Even if I hate it, he will definitely make me change my heart. Usually I am happy with it too." He narrowed his eyes.
"But in this case, I really don't want to change my mind." Xiaochen sighed.
"However, I just can't win against my brother. I can never persuade him if he decides on something…" He half closed his eyes in resignation and then glanced at Fengge.
"But you are an intelligent person right..? You should know what suits you and what doesn't... My brother is too good for you. Don't you think so.?" Xiaochen paused.
"You understand what I am saying.right?"
Lee Fengge pinched his pants uncomfortably. Of course he understood. He himself thinks so too. Gu Weicheng is someone who he could never even dream to get. But understanding or knowing it doesn't mean that hearing it from someone else won't hurt. He bit lips and said with difficulty.
"You don't have to worry, I don't have that kind of relationship with Mr.Gu.." He said.
"And I don't think someone like the eldest Youngmaster Gu will like someone like me. He.." His voice cracked. He swallowed his saliva and made his dry throat wet again and said with difficulty.
"He only did this because he wanted to help me at that moment. There is nothing else between us. You don't have to worry."
The moment he said that his heart felt a pain like a needle stabbed it and he couldn't talk anymore.
Xiaochen looked at Fengge in silence for a moment and said
"Well, I hope it's the truth." he smiled.
"After all, it's better for all of us. And if you can stay with your dear fiance and get married to him, for the happily ever after with ending."
Fengge stood silently and clenched his teeth.
"You don't need to feel bad, Okay..? I only have one brother so I am too sensitive when it comes to him. And I really want to find a partner who is perfect for my brother and can make him really happy." Xiaochen patted Lee Fengge's shoulder to remove dirt from it and straightened his collar in a friendly manner.
"So, you should just take care of your own Fiance and ask him for this type of help in the future. You know rumours these days are scarry.." Saying this he distanced himself from Lee Fengge.
"Okay then. Sorry for taking up to your time andHope we can have a happy co-operation." Xiaochen walked away with a smile which disappeared the moment he turned around.
Lee Fengge looked at the disappearing person. His whole body felt powerless and weak. He looked at the dark sky up above. The Moon can't be seen. The stars also felt dim. In the corner of his eyes something sparkled and then slid through his chin and fell down on the ground.
In that brightly lit building, the colourful light bulbs covered the entire fences of the garden. He stood in the middle. The brightness reflected in his beautiful face. A scene which can capture anyone's heart but his back looked extremely lonely.
[AHN : Don't worry, in the near future, these two will become so close that two of their husbands will get a headache separating them. 🤭🤭. Lol I am a bad author giving spoilers.. 🤫🤫]
Xiaochen looked back for a moment and walked inside.
He knew what he did wasn't right. And he didn't want to interfere in his brother's relationship. But.. But he doesn't know why. Whenever he imagined his brother with that omega, he always felt an uneasy feeling. As if his brother would fall into danger if he stayed with that person.
Moreover, he clearly understands his brother. He would never get too close to an omega if he didn't like them and marking them only means one thing, that his brother already chose that person as his life partner.
Xiaochen closed his eyes and bit his lips.
He trusts his brother and his choices. But he just couldn't accept this time.
Xiaochen knew he could never persuade Weicheng if he made a decision. And the only way he came up with was talking to the other party. But now….
Suddenly he hit something and was about to fall. But the person in front of him caught him on time and stabilised his body.
"Why are you walking like that? You should look ahead and don't close your eyes while walking. What will happen if you fall.."
A familiar voice made him look up.
"B..B...Brother…" He called.
Weicheng looked at his younger brother. Seeing his face he narrowed his eyes.
"Did you do something wrong.." He asked suspiciously.
"Wha…What..?" Xiaochen flinched.
"I…I didn't.." He pursed his lips.
"Oh really, then why do you look so guilty? Your whole body is saying you did something that you regret right now.." Weicheng dais with a frown.
"Tha..That…" Xiaochen didn't know what to say. And he didn't dare to look at his brother. He clearly knows, the moment he makes eye contact, he won't be able to hide what he did a moment ago..
He looked down and said..
"I…I….I… I was.. I was… I was taking a walk in the garden.. And..And I knocked over a flower pot.. it has such a beautiful flower on it which was destroyed by me.." He said in a breath and hid his hand behind and crossed his fingers.
"Oh.." Weicheng looked suspiciously.
"Is it really it.."
"Yes.." Xiaochen said firmly. Weicheng silently looked at his little brother.
"Okay then. I will send someone to compensate the hotel for their loss.." he said..
"No Need.." Xiaochen said hastily. Seeing the suspicious look on his brother he added.
"I already compensated them.." He looked down.
"It's just that i accidentally destroyed that beautiful flower.." His nose turned red.
Weicheng sighed.
"It's alright then. You should go home. Don't stay up long. I called the driver and he will drop you home.."
"Hmm.." Xiaochen nodded his head and walked forward. Weicheng looked at his brother and then turned his head towards the direction Xiaochen came. He tapped his forefinger on his legs and then followed behind Xiaochen.
When they reached the front door, a car was parked there. Weicheng opened the car door and put his hand above Xiaochen's head and made him sit on the back seat.
Xiaochen didn't say anything all the time. Weicheng closed the door.
"Brother…" Xiaochen called..
"Hmm.." Weicheng bowed his head and looked inside the car.
"If.. maybe if I…" He pursed his lips.
'If I made a mistake and hurt someone dear to you, will you hate me..?' He wanted to ask but couldn't.
Weicheng looked at his brother and took his hand which was on the car window.
"ChenChen…Everybody makes mistakes. So if you are feeling really guilty then try to make amends for it, and make sure that you won't make the same mistake ever again.. Okay..?"
Xiaochen bit his lower lips and looked down.
"Go home. Take a rest. I will come back late.." Weicheng said, patting his head. The driver started the car and it moved forward. Weicheng looked at the disappearing car. He put his hands in his pocket and walked back.
In the car, Xiaochen looked outside the window. He was in deep thought. Suddenly his phone rang.
"Hello…"
"Young Master, everything is ready.." Bai Zen said.
Suddenly Xiaochen remembered something and took a deep breath.
"Okay.. I will get there in a minute.." He said and hung up the call.
'O should forget about it for now..' He turned back to normal and said to the driver.
"Uncle, please go faster.."
"Yes young Master.." Driver replied and increased the car speed.
...….
It past midnight,
A car stopped in front of the Gu Mansion.
Weicheng got out of it and walked towards the entrance. Usually butler Bai or other servants will open the door for him. But nobody was there. He slowly opened the door. The whole home was extremely silent. All the lights were turned off. He frowned and was about to turn on the night lamp when suddenly the door closed on its own from the behind.
Weicheng stopped his steps and looked back but didn't see anyone.
His dominant Alpha senses become extremely alert.
He walked inside the home cautiously.
The moment he was approaching the switch board, the lights suddenly turned on, blinding his eyes. Before he could react, he heard a blasting sound.
"SURPRISE.." Xiaochen jumped in front of him.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.. BROTHER.." He said popping the party popper. Everyone including Butler Bai started to clap his hands.
Weicheng looked at the happy faces of everyone, and shook his head with a smile.. He knew they were all inside the moment he entered the home, and were hiding. Still he played along and reacted accordingly to see what they were up to. But never expected it to be this.
Weicheng raised his eyebrows. And looked at his enthusiastic younger brother. A warmth filled in his eyes.
