Chapter 36: Extra chapter
#1
Ethan: Xiya, where will you go? Can I follow you?
Xie: (Still pulled up a guard around him) Why would you follow me? Go do your job. Stop bothering me.
Ethan: (Stared at Xie with a pair of pitiful eyes, his expression looked as if Xie had wronged him) I only want to spend my time with you. It's been a while since the last time we met each other.
Xie: We're not that close. You're a bother. (Said in a deadpan tone)
Ethan: Xiya...(Tugged at his sleeve and acted coquettishly without shame) Please? Please? I only want to accompany you. Aren't we friend? Please?
Xie: (Sneered at him) Since when? I recalled that you were always bullying me since our younger days. At that time, I still had an engagement relationship with your sister. Every time we meet, you will threaten me, oppress me and ask me to do menial tasks that only a servant should do. I remembered it well even though I was only seven.
Ethan: (His hands went stiff, and his expression turned dreadful) I...I don't seem to remember any of that... (Eyes flickered uneasily as guilty conscience flooded him) Are you sure that I'm-
Xie: The perpetrators always forget about the evil deeds and wrongdoings they inflicted on their victims. If I listed everything I experienced from seven to eleven years old, It could be compiled into a scrapbook!
Ethan: (Choked) I'm sorry!
Xie: Too late! Go away, you pest! (Unceremoniously kicked him off the car and slammed the door directly in front of his face)
Ethan sat on the ground like a wounded puppy, and there was a trace of longing in his eyes.
Xie: (Gave him a cold snort and ruthlessly closed his car's window)
Ethan: ... (Well, he was doomed to be single for the rest of his life. Because of his severe sis-com, he will likely lose the chance to court his soon-to-be wife)
-A/N: He is still Arthur's legal wife. You should not covert someone's wifey-
A pair of expensive leather shoes stopped beside him. The sound of pebbles crushing underneath these shiny-looking footwears attracted Ethan's attention.
Ethan lifted his head. His eyes darkened as he met a pair of cold-looking eyes that exuded a severe low pressure. The tension between them heightened as they engaged in a heated staring contest. Sparks that shot out from their eyes intensified in the air.
Isaac: (The corner of his thin lips imperceptibly curved upward as if mocking the man on the ground. He openly ridiculed this man who he regarded as an enemy at first sight)
Ethan: ... (This person irked him up. His mocking smile had somehow got under his skin. He really wanted to beat him senselessly to wipe off the annoying smirk from his face. Ethan gritted his teeth and declared in an angry voice) You, let's fight! (Finally exploded)
Isaac: Gladly. (Smirked)

The night before. 2 a.m.
Alaric: I...cannot sleep. (Black circles underneath his eyes)
He looked at his left in dismay. A man with a peerless appearance slept soundly beside him, unperturbed, completely disregarding other people's suffering.
His whole body pressed over Alaric's small frame, and his four limbs entangled with Alaric, hugging the boy tightly enough to suffocate him.
Alaric: ...(He didn't know whether to cry or laugh in this situation)
Alaric stayed awake the entire night due to Xie's dishonest sleeping posture. He finally fell asleep at five a.m as his tired mind succumbed to his sleepiness.
Xie(in his dream): ...(mumbled incoherently) So soft and...fragrant. This pillow is...very comfortable...
If Alaric is still conscious, he will roar in anger, "I'm not a pillow!"

Arthur walked back and forth in his office with a worried expression. He was concerned about a specific person who chose to run away from home while he was outside.
Secretary: Stop walking in circles! You still have many documents to approve, and I need your signature for several official letters. Please sit down and do your job, President!
Arthur: Why didn't he call me?
Secretary: Why should he call you? (Said in an incredulous tone)
Arthur: He's been away for three days straight but not once did he call me to inform his whereabouts and situation. What if he is in danger?
Secretary: The bodyguard that followed him will surely inform you if something did happen to your wife, President.
Arthur: But...
Secretary: Besides, the man that goes with your wife is not an ordinary person. Prince Xie will be safe no matter where he goes, so stop worrying.
Arthur: Because of him, I cannot settle down, stupid! Such a high-quality man, I'm afraid that my wife's heart might waver and has a second thought. If he gets tempted by the man's appearance...
Secretary: Then, congratulation, President. You might have successfully acquired a green hat on your head(cuckolded).
Arthur: ...
Arthur: Secretary Li...I will deduct your salary this month.
Secretary: Oh yeah? Do it if you dare, President. I will take my complaint to the board of directors and The Labor Office. After that, I will resign and go farming in the countryside. Let's see if you will ever get another secretary as good as me, who can stand your temper and personality.
Arthur: ...(The man who had changed secretary innumerable times knew he had lost this fight even before he started) Put the documents on the desk. I will check it later.
Secretary: No way. I will not get out until you sign them all.
Arthur: I must find a way to fire you, Li Yuan.
Secretary: Good luck, then.
