Chao forcefully threw his cell phone on his bed after watching the public opinion shift to A-Xuan. I can’t believe I slept with all of them for nothing. Now not only has his reputation been washed clean but he gained a lot more fans.

He picked up his cellphone and read A-Xuan’s last Weibo post:

"Thank you to those who believed in me even when those lies were being spread everywhere. I don’t understand why someone would maliciously ruin someone else’s life like that. These past few weeks have been extremely difficult but knowing that you were there supporting me made it easier."

Don’t take a breath yet because I’m not done with you. I’ll only be done with you the day you die as my mother did! It’s fine; it’s just a setback. He has another president in his hand, so he’ll just use him.

The old man accepted his condition only after he swore that he would sleep with him three times a week. Chao felt disgusted but right now he’s glad he didn’t burn that bridge.

A-Xuan sent a video to each of the presidents and left for work. After getting dressed and coming out, he walked to the set and saw Daquan sitting on his chair.

He instinctively walked to him. When Daquan saw him coming, he pointed at a chair far from him.

His name was written on it, A-Xuan walked and sat on it, waiting to be called by the director. He is extremely angry and didn’t even try to conceal it.

Every day on set when he and Daquan would wait, he would always sit on his lap. He was so used to it that he went for him directly. Plus he liked being in his tight embrace like he never wants him to leave.

But now his stinky husband got him a chair. He can see what he is doing, and all the good points he earned ever since he entered this world are gone.

He was more than forgiving to him, and he dared to push him away. Fine, then we’ll see who will regret it in the end.

Daquan looked at the youth’s angry profile. He knows he’s angry. He was used to having him on his lap too, but after this morning, he felt like he needed space from him.

The morning after that kiss, he heard a strong voice telling him that he has to keep this person by his side. At that moment, he couldn’t kid himself anymore. He doesn’t want to give up on him after the end of the contract, a year, or ever.

If he feels this reluctant to be away from him after two weeks, how bad is it going to be after a month or more? His parents taught him early on that love isn’t real.

His whole life, he never saw them in love, and they were very open about their relationship with him. Since he was a kid, they told him that the only thing that mattered is power and money.

Once you have it, you’ll need nothing more. So he worked hard and opened his agency, and now he’s the rich and famous film Emperor. They were right. After that, he didn’t want for anything more.

He likes sleeping with a new man every month; he liked not knowing anything about them and just calling them to do the deed and have them leave. But with A-Xuan, the first time he came to his house, for some reason, he packed a bag.

First, he would never go to another person’s house. He would always call them at his house and toss them out when he was done. Second, not only did he go to his house, but he wanted to spend the night with him.

Spending the night changed into having breakfast, lunch, and having him on his lap close to him at all times. This morning when he kissed him, he felt this shot of electricity go through his body, and it felt so good.

It happened the first time he pulled him on his lap and he laced their hands, but he thought he imagined it. But today he felt it clearly. He ran away because he knows he’ll never accept having him. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He treated their relationship like a business deal so, of course, A-Xuan doesn’t think much of it. Furthermore, he saw the way he reacted to Muyun’s proximity. He was blushing.

He always believed that A-Xuan only showed his real emotions in front of him, but he did it in front of someone else. When he saw the way his eyes were shining while looking at Muyun, he felt his heart clench.

Plus, with the way he treated him, he’ll never fall in love with him. He’ll give him some space so that he’ll be able to think about his next move.

At lunch, A-Xuan locked himself in his dressing room, eating alone while watching a show on CF. The entire crew was getting crucified for their horrible behavior toward A-Xuan.

Daquan was sitting expressionless, listening to his right hand threaten the crew. When he finished, he added that anyone who dares to do anything will not only be fired but pursued to the fullest extent of the law.

At that, everyone blanched, and Chao almost spat out blood. He already told Daquan he wouldn’t do anything to A-Xuan through the crew. Did he really have to do this?

Any power he had over the agency now is gone. People are no longer going to respect or fear him; they’ll feel that way about A-Xuan. Chao watched Daquan’s departing back, thinking.

His eyes opened wide in shock. Has Daquan fallen for A-Xuan? Is that why he’s protecting him? No, no, this is Daquan. He would never fall for anyone, let alone someone as pathetic as A-Xuan.

There’s a simple way to know for sure. Chao went to his dressing room, calling a number.

During the day, the crew was incredibly thoughtful. They were always worried about A-Xuan. They made sure he wouldn’t suffer the smallest grievance, or they would be the ones suffering.

They all saw how Daquan would always eat with A-Xuan when usually he would eat in his office and how he would keep him close between scenes.

But they believed he was working with Chao, one would make his life miserable behind the stage, and the other would pretend to care for him, and they would have a big reveal where they would admit they are working together.

But when they saw his eyes when he hit the heads of the costume department and said anyone who dares to hurt A-Xuan will be fired, they realized that he was actually serious.

They quickly stopped messing around with him and forgot Chao’s previous instructions. A-Xuan couldn’t care less about their change of attitude.

No amount of bullying can get to him. On the contrary, he would give them plenty of opportunities. All of it will be used against them in the future.

He knows that Chao put them up to it, but what kind of cowards would all turn against a single person? Especially when that person is sweet and inoffensive?

It’s a good thing he’s got enough footage before Daquan stopped them, especially that little scene that morning.

He has already sent footage of the crew’s harassment to the three press companies. It will be up by tomorrow morning, and he’ll send that little scene from that morning as an extra.

At the end of the day, A-Xuan undressed and left for home. When he entered, he immediately stopped in place. He felt a shift and cursed inside while resuming walking.

Seriously, you keep your distance from me, and you dare to bug my entire house? His husband has this weird need to always look over him like he feels he might disappear if he doesn’t have eyes on him when they are apart.

A-Xuan never minded because he would sometimes watch over him too when he missed him, but this time he is angry.

Even though his husband’s soul would recognize him when he would look him in the eyes after he entered every world, he still feels angry about his past.

Plus, with everything the original went through, he should be glad that he didn’t grind him to dust.

But now he’s avoiding him. A-Xuan knows how he feels, but how is he supposed to forgive him if he doesn’t talk to him? He knows how big of a worrier he is when it comes to him, and he saw how he started to spiral.

A-Xuan ate and went to his room. He took a shower and was on the phone with Muyun for an hour before falling asleep.
