A-Xuan went to the master bedroom and entered the walk-in closet. He took off his shirt and looked for another one. After a while, he asked:

"What?"

Yang Jian came in further and asked:

"Why did you do that?"

"Fine next time I won’t get involved in your business."

"That’s not what I meant and you know it."

A-Xuan took his pants off and explained:

"Despite his selfishness that gambling addict still loved his daughter. Even after he sent her to the brothel he would go see her every two days. I wanted him to see the person he cares most about giving up on him before he died."

A-Xuan put on a new shirt and pants and was about to leave but Yang Jian carried him and put him on top of one of the commodes.

He asked:

"What if he would’ve killed you?"

A-Xuan smiled and said:

"I knew he wouldn’t, even if he did I would’ve disarmed him before he even tried."

"My first judgment of you was indeed right."

A-Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"What judgment?"

Yang Jian tightened the hold he had on him and said:

"I knew you were a master manipulator."

A-Xuan held onto his neck and said with a cunning smile:

"I am, so you should be scared."

Yang Jian smiled.

"I’m not, you wouldn’t do anything to me."

"Well, you should be. I don’t believe in feelings of love. Sex is just a release nothing else. You think the same so you shouldn’t say that."

Yang Jian looked at him intently and after a few beats, he looked away feeling complicated. If he would’ve heard that two weeks ago he would wholeheartedly agree but now...

He feels like A-Xuan is the man from his dream. Everyone thinks the reason he collected all those beautiful men and women is that he doesn’t believe in love only in lust but the truth is that he’s been searching for someone and every one of his pets looked like the person in his dream.

The more he collects the closer he feels to find that person. These past five years he had the same dream every night. A person would call him but he could never see his or her face clearly.

Ever since he had the first dream he couldn’t have any relationship with anyone and started to fill his courtyard with people who looked like the person in his dream.

But he couldn’t have sex with any of them which proved that they weren’t the person from his dream. When he first met A-Xuan he didn’t think much of it he was only slightly interested.

But when he saw him enter the living room he felt differently, he was relieved he survived. When he wiped his tear off his face he felt electricity go through his body and a voice in his head told him he was the one he was looking for.

He ignored it and lied to himself pretending he was only interested in his body because he didn’t want to be disappointed again. But over time he got to know him better and spent every night with him.

After the first three nights, he realized that it wasn’t just sex it was more. The best moment was when he would wake up in the morning with A-Xuan in his arms.

He ignored those feelings but today when the man pointed his gun at A-Xuan he felt like the gun was pointed at his heart. That picture in his dream became clear, it’s A-Xuan.

But now he’s worried because he wants more. What if A-Xuan doesn’t want more? What if he hates me for trying to kill him and only came because his father told him to?

Despite his behavior, he saw his fear for his father. Yang Jian looked at him feeling on edge. A-Xuan caressed his cheek soothingly to calm him. He saw his husband’s life and he knows that he’s been searching for him.

These past two weeks he could see him struggle to admit he is falling for him. So he put a plan in motion to deal with his sister and his brother-in-law. A-Xuan kissed him and let go when he felt he was calmer.

He walked out of the walk-in closet and stood near the door as he said:

"I have to go home tonight."

Yang Jian stood in front of him:

"If you need something I can send someone to get it."

"It’s fine I want to see my family too."

Yang Jian looked at him unsure as worry flashed through his eyes. A-Xuan approached and reassured him:

"I’ll be back quickly, if you miss me when I’m gone just look at this."

A-Xuan handed him a tablet and explained in a soft voice: 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"It’s linked to the camera on my cellphone you’ll be able to see everything I see."

Yang Jian relaxed and took him in his arm with a smile.

A-Xuan smiled as he hugged him back. He feels guilty not coming into this world sooner. He saw all the things he had to do to inherit the throne.

He had to handle the entire clan on his own when his brother abandoned him, after that he couldn’t trust anyone anymore. A-Xuan leaned back and kissed him.

Yuwen Zhu entered Yang Zan’s office with a beautiful smile. Yang Zan sat back and asked:

"Did you miss me already?"

Yuwen Zhu sat in one of the chairs in front of his desk and said:

"I did but I also have good news. You want to take over the Yang clan, don’t you?"

Yang Zan narrowed his eyes and asked coldly:

"Why are you asking that?"

Yuwen Zhu immediately lost her frivolous smile and said cautiously:

"You couldn’t take over it before because you had no leverage over Yang Jian but now you do."

The air in the room became colder as Yang Zan asked:

"What leverage?"

Yuwen Zhu called for someone out and a man in black entered. Yang Zan looked at his big stature and recognized him.

"Why is my brother’s bodyguard here?"

"Listen to what he has to say."

The bodyguard approached him and said with disdain:

"King Jian has changed ever since A-Xuan came into the estate. He sleeps in the master’s bedroom every night and when leader Yang his home he spends all his time with him. He has never let one of his pets out of their courtyard let alone sleep in his bedroom. Today he even let him deal with one of his clients. When the man pulled a gun to A-Xuan’s head he got up terrified for his life. I’ve known him for five years and he’s never cared for anyone that way. If after two weeks he let him make decisions for the clan then how is it going to be after two months?"

Yang Zan leaned back on his chair with a smile. He already knows all of that and from what he saw it’s more than feelings. He knows the reputation Yang Jian has outside is that of a Don Juan but he knows that’s not the case.

He’s been looking for someone for years now and it seems like he finally found him.

Yang Jian has been obsessed with that person from his dream for years to the point where it took over his life. In a way, he understands and knows that if he kills A-Xuan his brother will be destroyed, and so will he.

After getting pictures and videos of him every day from his spy on the estate he became addicted. He couldn’t have a good day if he didn’t see him. He knows that it’s because it’s him.

Yuwen Zhu looked at Yang Zan with a smile. She knew once she talked to him about A-Xuan he would try to kill him to destabilize his brother. Once A-Xuan’s dead she’ll go comfort him and he’ll forget him quickly.

I just need to spend a night with Yang Jian and he’ll fall for me just like everyone else does. Her father will finally understand that she’s more than a pretty face. She’ll command the Yang and Yuwen clan. No one will be able to stop me.

After fooling around with Yang Jian for a little while A-Xuan was driven to his father’s house. When he saw that they were headed in a different way he looked outside the window and frowned.

He peeked a the driver and then asked timidly:

"You’re sure this is the right way?"

The man looked at him through the mirror and snarled:

"Shut up!"

A-Xuan immediately closed his mouth and looked down. When they reached an abandoned factory the car stopped. The driver got out of the car and opened the back door.

A-Xuan looked up at him scared, he smiled and forcefully pulled him inside. A-Xuan entered the huge abandoned space and saw a couch and a table.

They were 10 men looking at him viciously like he was prey. The driver tied his hands behind his back and violently pushed him onto the couch.
