Wu Xiufan entered the kitchen and called out to Alex, who was preparing a snack.
Alex turned around, only to see Wu Xiufan walking away. He quickly caught up, entering the bedroom.
Wu Xiufan placed a chip on the table, his eyes filled with emotion. "Was this Yu Xuan's doing?" he asked, referring to the recent attack on Alex.
"I don't know," Alex replied, his gaze shifting to the chip.
"Why didn't you fight back immediately?" Wu Xiufan asked, his voice laced with anger. Although the video didn't capture the entire fight, Alex must have handled the attackers.
"They were nobility," Alex explained. "I didn't want to cause trouble for you, Sir."
Wu Xiufan's breathing paused as he processed Alex's response. "Why did you start fighting later?" he asked, his voice filled with anger.
Alex calmly explained, "They broke my communicator, preventing me from answering your call."
Wu Xiufan remembered the failed call a few days ago. Alex had been attacked while he was trying to reach him. Realizing Alex's selfless act, Wu Xiufan's expression darkened.
Alex, despite the humiliation he suffered, had prioritized Wu Xiufan's peace of mind. He had only fought back after missing Wu Xiufan's call. Wu Xiufan understood that Alex's world revolved around him.
Wu Xiufan squeezed Alex's hand tightly. "Listen to me," he said, his voice filled with determination. "If anyone bullies you, no matter who they are, fight back fiercely. Don't hesitate, even if it's the Queen herself. Your safety is paramount."
Alex nodded, understanding the gravity of Wu Xiufan's words.
Wu Xiufan held Alex close, his mind replaying the disturbing scenes from the video. His eyes darkened with a murderous rage.
He couldn't believe Yu Xuan's actions. Despite their strained relationship, Yu Ze had become a Covenantor and was a potential successor. Yet, Yu Xuan continued to harbor malice, first sending Yu Ze to the distribution center and now orchestrating this attack. Wu Xiufan's anger burned fiercely at the thought of Yu Xuan's cruelty.
Several notable scandals involving children of lower nobility rocked the city. The young nobles were exposed for sexual misconduct with minors, organizing gambling rings, and possessing contraband items. Unlike previous incidents that could be settled with money, Wu Xiufan's involvement ensured public scrutiny.
The eight individuals who attacked Alex were prominently featured in entertainment headlines, their identities revealed without exception.
The public was baffled by Wu Xiufan's sudden interest in these seemingly trivial matters. Only those involved in the scandals could guess the real reason behind his actions.
As the mastermind behind the scandals, Yu Xuan couldn't escape the consequences. He was not only expelled from the capital university but also alienated many of the capital's nobility. While outsiders might not have known the full story, the news spread rapidly within the inner circle.
Yu Xuan had brazenly encouraged a group of privileged young nobles to provoke Wu Xiufan's associates. His reckless actions demonstrated a disregard for consequences, not only for himself but also for the other young nobles who were now caught in the crossfire. These young nobles, fearing Wu Xiufan's wrath, were forced to admit their wrongdoing
Yu Cheng, the head of the Yu family, received a package containing compromising photos of Yu Xuan and evidence of his mother's misconduct. The revelation left him furious, nearly causing another stroke.
Yu Cheng understood that his younger son had offended Wu Xiufan. Without Wu Xiufan's forgiveness, the Yu family's prospects in the country, especially in the capital, were bleak.
Yu Cheng's thoughts turned to Yu Ze, his other son. He realized that only Yu Ze, Wu Xiufan's lover, could possibly calm Wu Xiufan's anger.
"What are you looking at?" Wu Xiufan entered Alex's room, finding him staring intently at his laptop screen.
"Capital University," Alex replied.
"Why are you interested in that?" Wu Xiufan asked, wrapping his arm around Alex's waist.
"I saw that Yu Xuan was expelled recently," Alex explained.
"He brought it upon himself," Wu Xiufan said, recalling Yu Xuan's academic struggles and the Yu family's efforts to secure him a place at the university.
Wu Xiufan glanced down at Yu Ze, his heart filled with pride. Unlike his brother, Yu Ze had relied solely on his own abilities to gain admission to the university two years earlier. However, becoming a covenantor had dashed those hopes.
"Do you want to go to university?" Wu Xiufan asked, his voice soft.
"I'm your attendant," Alex replied.
"Attendants can go to university," Wu Xiufan said, nuzzling Alex's ear.
Alex tried to act nonchalant but couldn't hide his excitement. He tapped the screen, examining the capital university's curriculum. "The classes are demanding, and the commute would be long. I wouldn't have enough time to care for you properly."
Wu Xiufan chuckled. "If I didn't need your care, would you still want to study?"
Alex hesitated, his gaze meeting Wu Xiufan's. "Sir, do you really not need me?" he asked, his voice filled with uncertainty.
Wu Xiufan: "…I meant what if."
"If you didn't need me to look after you, then I'd have more time to study. But…" Alex continued flatly, "Why should I sacrifice the time meant for looking after you to go and study?"
Alex turned to look at him, with a gaze that seemed to say 'Just quickly tell me why'.
Wu Xiufan: …How can he be so adorable?
"Studying can help you expand your knowledge to become more outstanding than others." wu Xiufan had on a stiff expression, trying his hardest not to reveal his delight.
"I've been learning everyday, computers, mechanics, medicine, defense, music, cooking, etiquette…" Alex listed them one by one.
Wu Xiufan listened quietly, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"However, we've recently been making love a lot, which reduces my learning time. But not to worry, it doesn't affect my learning progress."
Wu Xiufan: …He can't hold back anymore, he must give it, that is, love, to him fiercely!
Wu Xiufan pressed him down onto the sofa and whispered softly beside his lips, "I like listening to you speak, so tell me more about how you usually learn?"
"There are videos that teach you online…"
Wu Xiufan's lips slid down his neck, slowly exploring the parts that were exposed by his open shirt collar. "And then?"
"I choose two different courses to learn everyday…"
Wu Xiufan caressed his waist and unbuckled his belt.
"..."
"Why did you stop talking?" wu Xiufan put him against the arm of the sofa and buried his head in his neck.
"What… should I talk about?"
"How do you feel when you're learning?"
"Hot."
"Oh? Hotter than now?" wu Xiufan moved his fingers.
"….About the same."
"How about now?" wu Xiufan moved forwards, slowly squeezing himself inside of alex.
Alex stopped talking. He bit his lips, his eyes hazy as he stared at the man on top of him.
Wu XIufan panted slightly, his hip exerting strength as he thrusted heavily.
"Beep beep beep," at this point, the phone line sounded. Immediately after, the voice of the head butler said, "Sir, Young Master , the head of the Yu family, Yu Cheng called, requesting to speak to Young Master
Wu Xiufan's expression darkened as he said in a low voice, "Tell him he's busy right now."
"I will." The head butler could hear moaning and sounds of thrusting and added absently as an afterthought, "Sorry for the disturbance, please continue."
Wu Xiufan… At such an urgent moment, can the existence known as Butler please not cut in?
Alex's mind was momentarily pulled away from the present moment, lost in thought about Yu Cheng's intentions. He was fairly certain that Yu Cheng had come to him on behalf of Yu Xuan. This realization sparked a strategic thought within Alex. He saw this as an opportune moment to complete his mission.
With Yu Xuan's desperate attempt to end his life, Wu Xiufan's fear tactics, the Yu family's tarnished reputation, and the exodus of influential figures from the family, it was clear that the Yu family was facing a dire crisis. Their situation was akin to a house of cards on the brink of collapse.
Alex's mind was lost in a whirlwind of thoughts while his body was subjected to a jarring physical assault. He was forcefully lifted and then thrown down with a sickening thud. The pain jolted him back to reality, his body now straddling Wu Xiufan in a position that was both intensely hot and full.
After dinner, Alex received another call from Yu Cheng, who expressed a desire to meet with him. To Alex's surprise, Wu Xiufan insisted on accompanying him. They agreed upon a time and place for the meeting.
The following afternoon, in a private dining room of a luxurious restaurant, Yu Cheng arrived early, eagerly awaiting the meeting.
At precisely 5 o'clock, the glass door of the private dining room slid open, revealing Alex and Wu Xiufan walking in together, hand in hand.
Yu Cheng stood up to greet them, inviting Wu Xiufan to take a seat.
Wu Xiufan, though still recovering from his stroke and discharged from the hospital ten days prior, exhibited visible signs of his ordeal. His face remained somewhat stiff, and his movements were slightly awkward.
Yu Cheng placed the menu in front of Wu Xiufan, offering him a choice of dishes.
However, Wu Xiufan dismissed the gesture, declaring, "I'm not here to eat. State your purpose."
Yu Cheng carefully put down the menu and began to speak, "Your Excellency, I am aware of my son's transgressions and the offense he has caused you. I understand that I have no right to seek your mercy, but as his father, I cannot stand idly by. I implore you to give him another chance. I pledge that from this moment forward, I will keep a strict watch over him and prevent him from causing further trouble."
