Spoiled Rotten by the CEO After a Contract Marriage - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: When Wenchen Had a Crush on You

You Wenchen looked at him with a smile: “Otherwise, are you planning not to shower tonight?”

They still smelled of hospital antiseptic. How could they rest without taking a shower?

Yang Yuyang clenched his fists: “I’ll shower, I’ll shower.”

It’s just a shower between two grown men; there’s nothing to be embarrassed about!

You Wenchen was amused by his look of martyrdom: “Are you that nervous?”

“Who said I was nervous? I’m not nervous at all.”

Yang Yuyang was, in fact, nervous. He was afraid he might lose control and sexually assault You Wenchen, only to be arrested for hooliganism later.

You Wenchen took off his glasses and set them aside: “Let’s go to the bathroom then.”

Yang Yuyang’s face instantly flushed. You Wenchen taking off his glasses made his little brain conjure up some explicit images.

He reluctantly shuffled into the bathroom, as restrained as a little eunuch serving the emperor for a bath.

You Wenchen really wanted to get closer to him, but seeing him so frightened, he held back.

“I can manage to wash myself. Why don’t you step out? You look like you’re vibrating.”

Yang Yuyang took a deep breath: “I’m not shaking because I’m scared.”

It’s excitement, admiring the CEO’s male model physique up close.

You Wenchen let his arms drop: “Then help me take off my clothes.”

Yang Yuyang stepped forward and slowly began to unbutton his shirt. He had only unfastened three buttons when You Wenchen grabbed his hand.

“You should go out.”

Yang Yuyang was a little disappointed: “Why?”

He hadn’t seen anything yet.

You Wenchen leaned down and whispered something in his ear.

Yang Yuyang’s eyes instantly darted down, and he panicked.

“I can do it myself. I’ll call you if I need anything, okay?”

“Okay, okay. I’ll go out first then.” Yang Yuyang scrambled out.

You Wenchen sighed. He had overestimated his self-control. He wondered if his words had scared the little lamb, but if he hadn’t left, Yang Yuyang would have noticed soon anyway.

Yang Yuyang ran outside and let out a silent scream, punching and kicking the little lamb cushion repeatedly.

Why was he so spineless, scared away by one sentence from You Wenchen? It was such a perfect opportunity just now! If he had been a little braver, they might have already gotten down to business.

After his frenzy, Yang Yuyang lay face down on the bed in a gloomy posture, contemplating the probability of You Wenchen being interested in him.

If he wasn’t interested, he wouldn’t have said those things, would he?

But if he was interested, why didn’t he confess?

Is he waiting for me to take the initiative? I wouldn’t mind being active, but last time I was, he didn’t give me any direct feedback.

Yang Yuyang had a strange habit: whenever he thought hard, he liked to roll around.

He forgot he was currently lying on the edge of the sofa. With one roll, he fell with a smack onto the floor.

“Ah!” The little lamb wailed in pain.

You Wenchen heard the noise outside and rushed out without even putting on his sleep pants.

“Yangyang, what happened?”

Seeing Yang Yuyang sprawled on the floor, he pulled him up and gently rubbed the spot where he had hit himself: “Does it hurt badly? Do we need to go to the hospital?”

It took a while for Yang Yuyang to recover: “No, no, I’m fine. Are you done showering?”

“Yes. Let me check if you have a bruise.” You Wenchen stood up to examine him.

Only then did Yang Yuyang realize You Wenchen wasn’t wearing his sleep pants.

The little white lamb instantly turned into a little pink lamb. Was he allowed to see this?

You Wenchen saw his face flush and realized his current attire was inappropriate.

“Sorry, I rushed out when I heard you shout.”

Yang Yuyang was completely red-faced but tried to remain calm: “It’s fine. We’re both men. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, you’re not naked.”

You Wenchen saw him sneaking glances and showed him openly: “Yes, we’re both men. Look all you want.”

Yang Yuyang was too embarrassed to stare openly. He grabbed his pajamas and scurried into the bathroom, using cold water to shower away the restless thoughts in his head.

By the time he finished, You Wenchen was already resting in bed.

Yang Yuyang kept his footsteps light. Once he lay down, he watched You Wenchen’s handsome profile over the little lamb cushion.

So handsome. I’ll get him sooner or later!

He moved the little lamb cushion aside, scooted closer to You Wenchen, and fell asleep contentedly leaning against him.

Once Yang Yuyang was asleep, You Wenchen opened his eyes and placed a kiss on his forehead.

…

“Brother Wenchen, are you alright! I heard you caught a knife barehanded last night? Even if you’re a real CEO, you shouldn’t be so reckless!” Si Li burst in early in the morning with his brother to see You Wenchen, yelling right from the door.

Si Miu tapped him on the head: “Keep your voice down.”

Si Li pouted. Wait until I become your wife’s sister-in-law. Let’s see if you dare hit me then!

Yang Yi, wearing a small apron, greeted them with a smile: “Hello, I’m Yangyang’s father. They haven’t woken up yet. Please come in and take a seat.”

Ou Huanhua only ate the breakfast he made, so he had sent the cook home and was preparing breakfast himself.

“Hello, Uncle Yang. You look so young and handsome.”

Yang Yi handed him a box of freshly baked cookies: “You must be Xiao Li. So cute. A gift for you.”

“Thank you, Uncle!” It was easy to win Si Li over. A box of cookies was enough to max out his goodwill.

“Uncle, how is Brother Wenchen doing?” Mu Junyu was still very concerned.

Yang Yi shook his head: “I don’t know. They haven’t gotten up yet. I’ll go call them later.”

Ou Huanhua had already gone upstairs: “Yangyang, are you awake?”

You Wenchen opened the door: “Good morning, Mother-in-law. Yangyang is still asleep. I’m waking him up now.”

He had been awake for a while, just watching the adorable little lamb sleep.

Ou Huanhua nodded: “Okay. How is your hand? Does it still hurt?”

“No pain. Thank you for your concern, Mother-in-law. Please go downstairs and have breakfast.”

“Alright. Tell him to hurry up. Guai Guai (Mu Junyu) and the others are here.”

You Wenchen left the door open and went into the room to wake Yang Yuyang.

Yang Yuyang was groggy: “You’re up? Do you need me to help you brush your teeth and wash your face?”

“I’ve already washed up. You should go brush your teeth quickly too. Your cousin and the others are here.”

“Oh, oh.” Yang Yuyang yawned, threw off the covers, and stood up, walking forward with his eyes closed.

You Wenchen rubbed his head: “Watch where you’re going. Don’t fall again.”

Yang Yuyang still kept his eyes closed: “I won’t fall! I walk very steadily! Ouch!”

Just as he finished speaking, his toes hit the leg of the table. The pain made him hop on one leg, clutching his foot.

You Wenchen approached him, trying not to laugh: “I told you to open your eyes when you walk.”

Yang Yuyang took the opportunity to take advantage of him, leaning against him and whining dramatically.

“It hurts so much, it really hurts. Don’t move, it really hurts.”

Si Li, who came up to check on them: ?

Wow, they’re doing this first thing in the morning. How shameless.

Yang Yuyang moved away only after he had enough free cuddles. This time, he didn’t dare walk with his eyes closed.

By the time they came downstairs, everyone was halfway through their meal.

“Come, sit, sit! Time to eat.” Yang Yi warmly invited them.

Yang Yuyang was flattered: “Dad, why are you so polite today?”

Before he could sit down, Yang Yi nudged him aside with his butt: “How dare you eat! Wenchen, the patient, woke up earlier than you.”

You Wenchen defended him: “Yangyang took care of me for a long time last night, which is why he’s tired today and couldn’t wake up.”

“You don’t need to speak up for him. I know what kind of person he is.”

“Move aside! You’re blocking me from feeding him.” Yang Yuyang pushed Yang Yi away and sat next to You Wenchen to feed him.

“Yangyang, I have some important matters to attend to today. Be a good boy and stay home, and take good care of Wenchen, alright?” Last night’s incident left Ou Huanhua traumatized, inspiring a brief moment of tenderness.

Yang Yuyang obediently said: “I know, Mom.”

After the two elders left, Si Li smirked: “Yangyang, Brother Wenchen is injured. You should restrain yourself a little.”

Yang Yuyang was confused. Restrain what?

“Stop pretending to be innocent! I heard everything just now.”

Yang Yuyang was even more bewildered. Heard what?

You Wenchen smiled suggestively, neither admitting nor denying anything.

Si Miu cleared his throat: “Shut up.”

Even if he heard something, he shouldn’t be discussing it at the dinner table.

Si Li settled down after being scolded and asked about You Wenchen’s injury: “What exactly happened with the injury? Has the attacker been dealt with?”

At the mention of this topic, everyone’s expressions turned serious.

“I sent him to the police station yesterday. He’s still there. What do you want to do about him?” Si Miu asked You Wenchen.

You Wenchen’s expression was complicated: “I don’t know.”

Su Wang was a terrible person, but his family had shown kindness to Su He.

Su He always remembered their family’s kindness, and might not agree to severe punishment. He had to consider his mother’s feelings.

Just as he thought of this, Su He rushed in.

“Wenchen, are you alright!”

She had heard from Auntie this morning that You Wenchen was injured and rushed over without even combing her hair. Seeing her son’s hand, Su He’s eyes immediately reddened.

“How did you get such a bad injury?”

“It’s nothing, Mom. It looks worse than it is. It doesn’t actually hurt.”

You Kuanshen, who followed her in, was also greatly alarmed. The gentle man, who had been calm for most of his life, rarely lost his temper: “Who did this!”

You Wenchen hesitated but told the truth: “Su Wang.”

He recounted the entire sequence of events and waited for Su He’s final decision.

Seeing the atmosphere growing tense, Yang Yuyang took Mu Junyu and Si Li back to his room to play.

“Why aren’t we listening anymore?” Si Li still wanted to curse. What kind of person is that? He was helped with so much money and still acts like such a jerk.

Yang Yuyang leaned against the door: “Because I’m afraid I’ll start swearing.”

If You Wenchen hadn’t told him, he wouldn’t have known the person was Su Wang.

Su He and You Kuanshen were civilized people; his foul language would ruin the atmosphere.

Mu Junyu’s expression was also ugly: “That bastard! Even if You Wenchen forgives him, my dad won’t!”

Yang Yuyang was like another son to them. Mu Zicheng would be furious if he found out.

“Shh, let me listen to how they handle it.” Yang Yuyang still wanted to hear Su He’s reaction.

They heard silence downstairs for a long time. Finally, Su He spoke: “Wenchen, you can handle it however you like. Don’t worry about me. I no longer owe them anything.”

She had never been this angry. Being able to speak so calmly was her limit. If Su Wang were in front of her, she would probably hit him.

She was grateful for the Su family’s kindness in raising her, but how could he repeatedly harm her child?

“Calm down.” Being married for many years, You Kuanshen knew how angry his wife was right now.

Su He wiped the tears from her eyes: “I’m sorry, Wenchen. I caused you trouble. I should apologize to Yangyang later too. He must have been frightened.”

“What are you saying? Yangyang and I don’t blame you.”

The three people eavesdropping upstairs were relieved. Thank goodness Su He didn’t cling to that old sentiment.

“That bastard. Can we go to the police station and beat him up?”

“Forget it. Let them handle it. Let’s not make things worse.”

Mu Junyu saw that Yang Yuyang was in low spirits, so he changed the subject: “You didn’t tell You Wenchen about what I mentioned last time, did you?”

“I didn’t tell him. I promised you.”

Mu Junyu tugged on his arm, acting spoiled: “Then tell me, who is Second Brother dating? I’ve been thinking about it for days. I can’t eat, and I’ve lost nearly three pounds.”

Yang Yuyang exposed him: “You were just shouting about going for barbecue with me last night, and now you say you can’t eat?”

Si Li quickly tried to skip the topic: “Exactly, stop pretending. How about we watch some anime?”

“No. I just want to know what kind of person managed to win over Second Brother. If you won’t say the name, tell me if the person is a man or a woman, okay?”

Yang Yuyang rubbed his nose: “Does gender matter?”

“I’m curious! Second Brother’s taste is so unique. Could the person be transgender?” Mu Junyu got goosebumps at the thought.

He could respect everyone’s choices, but he wasn’t sure if his parents could accept it.

“I’m anxious and excited right now. I’m afraid the person is a younger brother with a huge chest and an afro.”

Si Li gritted his teeth: “Can’t you think something good about your Second Brother?”

“I want to, but Second Brother is really strange. He once wanted me to get an afro for him to look at. I suspect his partner is not normal either.” Mu Junyu analyzed reasonably.

He couldn’t fathom that Mu Xun, with his avant-garde aesthetic, would ultimately choose Si Li.

However, Si Li was sometimes a bit abnormal too, so Mu Junyu’s guess wasn’t entirely wrong.

Yang Yuyang cleared his throat: “Stop asking. I’m asking you a question for my friend. He’s a novelist collecting material on romance. Tell me how you and Si Miu got together.”

He had already gotten tips from Si Li last time. Now it was time for Mu Junyu.

Mu Junyu was very interested in this topic and immediately forgot about Mu Xun.

“The story begins on a dark night five hundred years ago…”

Yang Yuyang pushed him: “Nonsense! You’ve only known him for less than a year. Tell me properly. What exactly happened? Maybe your story will win a Nobel Prize.”

“Oh, you already know the gist. We met through Xiao Li, lived together, exchanged glances, and finally got together.”

“Details? Who chased whom first?”

Mu Junyu thought about it: “I guess I chased him first.”

But before he could chase much, Si Miu confessed first.

Si Li interjected: “If you ask me, the sparks in your love were too random. You got married a month after I went abroad.”

“What are you talking about? He confessed to me before you left.”

“What?! You were having a secret relationship behind my back!”

Yang Yuyang urged: “Stop interrupting! How did you pursue Si Miu?”

Mu Junyu thought for a moment: “By acting spoiled. When a man acts spoiled, the ‘older brother’ soul flies.”

He often acted spoiled at home, so he was very good at it.

Yang Yuyang touched his face: “What exactly counts as acting spoiled?”

“That’s a profound question. Let me think how to explain it. Ah, the way your dad talks to your mom—that’s being spoiled.” Mu Junyu snapped his fingers.

Yang Yuyang finally understood: “I get it.”

He could try that trick!

…

In the afternoon, Wang Dahai arrived with a car full of gifts to apologize to You Wenchen. The fierce-looking, big man even shed a few tears over You Wenchen’s hand.

“It’s all my fault, brother. I made you suffer.”

He had only found out at noon, or he would have rushed over last night.

You Wenchen was a little helpless: “Brother Hai, this has nothing to do with you.”

“How can it not? If I hadn’t invited that scoundrel to the gathering, it wouldn’t have come to this. I’ve already dealt with that scoundrel. I guarantee he won’t appear again.”

Yang Yuyang nervously asked: “You didn’t… silence him, did you?”

“Of course not! I found loopholes in his company and reported him directly to the police. Embezzling fifty million is enough to keep him locked up for life.”

Wang Dahai looked like a gangster, but he was a law-abiding citizen.

Yang Yuyang sighed in relief. It was good that he didn’t resort to violence.

“This whole thing is still my fault, sigh.” Wang Dahai started taking responsibility again.

You Wenchen quickly interrupted him: “Brother Hai, I told you it’s not your fault. What is this?”

He didn’t want Wang Dahai to continue, so he changed the subject.

Wang Dahai tore open the outer packaging. Inside were two stones that could be assembled into a heart shape.

“I originally wanted to give this to you at your wedding, but I brought it along today. I had these stones blessed by a professional. They guarantee your everlasting love.”

Yang Yuyang quite liked the gift: “Thank you, Brother Hai. That’s very thoughtful of you.”

The rough old man is quite romantic.

Wang Dahai smiled: “Thoughtful? Wenchen is the thoughtful one. He did so much for you when he had a crush on you. I thought at the time if someone treated me like that, I’d marry him right away.”

Yang Yuyang was confused: “What crush?”
