Spoiled Rotten by the CEO After a Contract Marriage - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Extreme Possessiveness

On the way home, You Wenchen suddenly said, “Your friends are quite interesting.”

He had heard everything they said in the restroom, as the two of them hadn’t closed the door when speaking in hushed tones, and Yuntian’s voice was loud anyway.

Yang Yuxiang smiled sheepishly: “I thought you’d find us childish.”

“Not childish. Everyone has their preferences; it’s understandable.”

Yang Yuxiang looked at his profile and asked curiously: “Then what are your preferences?”

He had tried to figure out You Wenchen’s preferences lately but couldn’t deduce anything.

You Wenchen looked at him: “Guess?”

His preference was far away yet right in front of him.

Yang Yuxiang had no clue what he truly liked, so he made a random guess: “You’re always in the study. Is it because you like reading?”

Every time he returned home, You Wenchen would go into the study. He initially thought it was for work, but who works that late?

“Something like that. I enjoy admiring some famous paintings in there.”

“Your taste is indeed very refined.” You Wenchen admired famous paintings, while he only watched animations.

You Wenchen smiled faintly: “They are all personal preferences. There’s no distinction between refined or vulgar.”

Yang Yuxiang felt very comfortable talking to him. He seemed to constantly accommodate him and never let the conversation become awkward.

After getting home, Yang Yuxiang took out the cosplay outfit: “You try it on first.”

You Wenchen deliberately acted clueless: “This looks a bit complicated. It’s my first time encountering this; I might wear it incorrectly.”

Yang Yuxiang thought for a moment: “How about I wait outside for you? If you run into any trouble, just call me in to help.”

“Just come right into the room, but turn your back to me.”

He wished Yang Yuxiang would look at him more.

Since he didn’t mind, Yang Yuxiang naturally didn’t mind either. He went into the room with him and turned his back.

You Wenchen put on the pants and started acting like a clueless novice: “Can you teach me how to wear this?”

Yang Yuxiang turned around to look at him, his heart once again shaken by the sight.

I have to take the opportunity to sneak a touch later!

No, no, that’s immoral!

But with such beauty in front of me, what does morality matter!

While fighting an internal battle, he helped him sort out the clothes, putting them on him one by one.

This cosplay outfit had many subtle details. For example, the top was particularly short, completely failing to cover You Wenchen’s abs. His powerfully muscled core was captivating.

“It seems a little small.” You Wenchen moved his arms. It wasn’t just a little small; it was too tight.

Yang Yuxiang’s eyes widened. The tighter it was, the more prominent the shape became. You Wenchen’s muscle definition was incredibly clear now.

“What’s wrong? Doesn’t it look good?” You Wenchen actually knew Yang Yuxiang was satisfied but still asked in a subtle, teasing way, wanting to hear the praise.

Yang Yuxiang’s face was flushed. He was becoming more shameless, staring at the man for so long.

“No, it’s particularly good-looking. It’s too good-looking, that’s why I can’t look away. It’s a waste that you’re not doing cosplay or in the entertainment industry with a face like that.”

If he were in the entertainment industry, he would be absolutely dominant.

“As long as the person I like likes it, it’s not a waste.”

Yang Yuxiang glanced at him, then quietly changed the subject: “That makes sense. If the clothes are too small, I’ll ask them to exchange them for a larger size. Do you need my help taking it off?”

“No need. You should try yours on too. If it doesn’t fit, we can exchange both at the same time and save the hassle of running back and forth.”

Yang Yuxiang initially wanted to use a different room to change clothes, but seeing You Wenchen’s composure, running back and forth felt a bit dramatic.

He was also confident in his own figure, so he simply turned his back to You Wenchen and started changing.

You Wenchen initially kept repeating the principles of a gentleman in his mind, but then a little devil flew out from somewhere, whispering in his ear: “He doesn’t know whether you’re a gentleman or not. It’s fine to take a look.”

Perhaps because his self-control was excellent in other matters, he had zero self-control when it came to Yang Yuxiang. He couldn’t resist sneaking a couple of glances.

Yang Yuxiang seemed to have finished changing and was adjusting the angle of his clothes.

He was wearing a pink short skirt with ancient-style elements. The top was fully covered, only exposing half of his arms. The skirt, however, was incredibly short. This outfit was too short to wear outside; it could only be used for indoor photoshohoots.

The good thing was, it gave You Wenchen an eyeful.

Yang Yuxiang’s legs were beautiful—not excessively thin. His thighs had a little meat, and his calves were slender, making them very well-proportioned.

Most importantly, he was naturally fair-skinned. His bright, pale skin was stunning.

Yang Yuxiang admired himself in the mirror for a moment and then walked confidently in front of You Wenchen: “Does it look good?”

“Of course it looks good. It suits you very well, but you can’t wear it out.”

“Naturally. The skirt is so short; I’d be afraid people would say I’m flashing them if I wore it out.” Yang Yuxiang grew more satisfied the more he looked, taking two selfies in the mirror with his phone.

You Wenchen somehow moved right behind him. Yang Yuxiang linked his arm through You Wenchen’s and took a picture together: “Can I post a teaser for my fans? I’ll blur your face.”

He wasn’t sure if You Wenchen minded being photographed.

“Sure, blurring it or not is fine.” He also wanted to announce his relationship with Yang Yuxiang as his other half.

Yang Yuxiang thought about it and still decided to put a mosaic over his face. After all, You Wenchen was a big business owner. What if his business partners misunderstood?

“Oh right, this pose requires you to carry me. You can do it, right?” Yang Yuxiang felt a little unsure. What if he couldn’t?

You Wenchen proved it with immediate action, hoisting him onto his shoulder.

Yang Yuxiang was startled when he got up there: “Put me down first, put me down.”

You Wenchen held his arm with one hand and his waist with the other, reluctant to let go of the warm contact: “Aren’t you worried I can’t do it? I can hold you up longer to prove it.”

“You can, you can, you absolutely can! Put me down first. I have a slight fear of heights.”

You Wenchen quickly put him down: “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you have a fear of heights.”

Yang Yuxiang rubbed his temple. After recovering, he smiled widely: “I’m fine, really. I just wasn’t used to it when I first went up, but it got better afterward. You’re so amazing; you carried me up there without even breathing hard.”

He thought You Wenchen would be strong, but he didn’t expect him to be this strong.

You Wenchen smiled: “I like to work out regularly.”

Maintain a good body to provide my loved one with a happy life.

Yang Yuxiang pinched his own arm: “I think I should learn from you. I’m really too lazy.”

He was the type to work one day and rest for ten. Every New Year’s Day, he would tell himself he’d get abs, only to forget about it by the second day of the new year.

“Your figure is just right; you don’t need excessive exercise.”

“It’s not really body anxiety. It’s just that my stamina is poor. My parents always say I can’t keep up with them.”

Someone who sleeps until noon like Yang Yuxiang naturally couldn’t have good stamina.

You Wenchen considered this: “Then you can come to the gym with me in the future. We can exercise properly and enhance your physical strength.”

“Sounds good! Let’s go tonight!” Yang Yuxiang was eager to execute his ideas immediately.

“Okay.”

His old house had a gym, but his new house hadn’t had the equipment set up yet. You Wenchen took him to a members-only gym in the city center, which had all sorts of equipment and professional coaches constantly offering advice.

Before entering, You Wenchen sent a message to the owner, asking him to send the coaches home for the night.

He knew all the necessary fitness knowledge and didn’t need anyone else to interrupt them.

Yang Yuxiang changed into his workout gear, wearing a pink headband that revealed his smooth, full forehead, making him look energetic and cute.

“Where do we start?”

“Warm up and stretch your muscles to prevent cramps during exercise.” You Wenchen taught him a few warm-up routines hands-on.

Yang Yuxiang put in a lot of effort and was sweating even before getting on the equipment.

“I’m a little thirsty.” He looked around. There didn’t seem to be anywhere selling water.

Usually, someone would proactively bring water at this time. Today, because You Wenchen had cleared everyone out, no one brought them any.

You Wenchen used a towel to wipe his sweat: “Wait here for me. I’ll go get you some water.”

“I want ice-cold Coke!”

“Try not to drink anything cold during exercise. Be a good boy and listen.”

Yang Yuxiang pouted: “Fine.”

You Wenchen went to find water for him. Yang Yuxiang, meanwhile, studied the various exercise equipment.

He thought gyms only had treadmills and barbells; he didn’t expect so many different machines.

“Hello there. Is this your first time at the gym?” A man in workout clothes, who seemed to pop out of nowhere, greeted Yang Yuxiang with a big smile. Judging by his expression, he was clearly trying to flirt.

Yang Yuxiang politely responded and found an excuse to move away from the man.

He didn’t like this kind of flirting.

The man didn’t give up and followed him: “What are you calling?”

Yang Yuxiang looked at him innocently: “I’m not calling anything.”

“…I mean, what’s your name?”

“Li San.” (A common placeholder name)

The man forced a laugh: “Don’t joke around. Look, let me buy you a drink, and we can be friends.”

He was also here to work out today. He was in the restroom when the boss cleared everyone out, so he wasn’t asked to leave.

When he came out, he bumped into Yang Yuxiang. It was rare to see such a cute younger man, and he started having ulterior motives.

Yang Yuxiang rubbed his nose. Did he look like someone who couldn’t afford water?

“I’m sorry, I don’t drink water. I’m about to work out. Please go somewhere else,” Yang Yuxiang didn’t want to get tangled up with him.

The man was repeatedly rejected but was still persistent. He went to his locker, took out his bag, retrieved a bottle of water and a pill from inside, secretly slipped the pill into the water bottle, twisted the cap on tightly after mixing, and offered it to Yang Yuxiang with an eager expression.

“If you don’t want to add me, fine. We met by fate; let me just buy you a drink.”

Yang Yuxiang saw that the cap had been opened, making him even less inclined to drink it.

“Sorry, I’m really not thirsty. If you’re thirsty, you drink it yourself.”

“Don’t be such a spoilsport.”

Yang Yuxiang pinched his temples. If this man continued to pester him, he wouldn’t just be a spoilsport; he would embarrass him.

Seeing Yang Yuxiang about to leave, the man seized the opportunity and tried to grab him from behind. Before he could touch Yang Yuxiang, someone grabbed his collar and threw him over the shoulder with a heavy slam.

Before he could react, his chin was grabbed, and the water bottle was emptied down his throat.

You Wenchen finished pouring the water in with a blank expression. How dare he flirt with Yang Yuxiang right in front of him! He must have a death wish.

He was already furious. Seeing the man’s body begin to change after drinking the water, he instantly understood what had been added to the water, and his anger intensified.

He actually dared to put something like that in the water! What did he intend to do to Yang Yuxiang?

Yang Yuxiang was also shocked. He had merely guessed the man would put something in the water, but he hadn’t expected him to actually do it.

You Wenchen grabbed the man’s neck: “You really don’t know when to quit.”

He rarely got this furious; the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.

The man struggled desperately but couldn’t break free. Just when he thought he was going to die here, Yang Yuxiang rushed forward to stop You Wenchen.

“Let go, let go quickly! He’ll really die if you keep doing this.” He thought You Wenchen was just teaching the guy a lesson, but he didn’t expect You Wenchen to choke him for so long without letting go.

Yang Yuxiang’s voice pulled You Wenchen out of his raging emotion. His voice returned to normal: “I just wanted to teach him a lesson. Did I scare you?”

Yang Yuxiang was so timid; he couldn’t afford to scare him.

Yang Yuxiang wiped the sweat from his forehead: “I’m fine. What should we do with him now?”

You Wenchen pushed up his glasses: “Of course, we hand him over to the police.”

They contacted the police to take the man away. As he was being led out, the man, terrified by You Wenchen’s chilling gaze, couldn’t stop trembling.

Yang Yuxiang gave a middle finger to his retreating back: “Serves you right! You should be arrested for doing something like that!”

If You Wenchen hadn’t been here today, who knows what would have happened.

You Wenchen suppressed his anger and said tenderly: “Did I scare you?”

“I’m fine. I’m very brave. Let’s continue working out.” Yang Yuxiang put the incident out of his mind.

You Wenchen also acted as if nothing had happened and continued leading Yang Yuxiang through his workout.

The two sweated profusely before heading home. While showering in their respective bathrooms, both were thinking about the same thing.

Yang Yuxiang rubbed his hands, creating many bubbles, and stared blankly at them.

To be honest, the man hadn’t scared him; You Wenchen’s reaction had. He truly felt that if he hadn’t intervened, You Wenchen would have choked the man to death.

It should have been a terrifying thing, but he actually thought… You Wenchen’s reaction for his sake was quite manly.

Forget it, forget these weird thoughts. You Wenchen probably wouldn’t be that violent.

You Wenchen stood under the cold shower. The bulging veins on the back of his hand slowly subsided.

His possessiveness towards Yang Yuxiang seemed to have become even more extreme. He needed to control it and make sure not to scare Yang Yuxiang.
