Liu Xue walked to Feng Yuzheng’s side while speaking. She had a pair of beautiful eyes, but they were filled with poison.

“Yuzheng, we must make everyone think that Feng Ruiran is a lowly bastard who secretly takes drugs and fools around with others so that we can completely cut off his escape route! Don’t forget how that little bastard’s mother died; you’re also responsible for this matter! If he gets the Feng family in the future, neither mother nor you will have a good life!”

Upon hearing Liu Xue’s words, Feng Yuzheng closed his eyes.

He took a deep breath and finally nodded. “I understand; I will find someone to arrange things at the casino.”

Liu Xue breathed a sigh of relief when Feng Yuzheng finally agreed, and a smile appeared on her face. It was as if she had already seen Feng Ruiran become a street rat that everyone shouted and beat, and his destitute figure being kicked out of the house by Feng Yan.

Upon hearing this, Bai Rui’s brows furrowed. According to Liu Xue’s words, the death of the original owner’s biological mother, Xiao Ling, should also be closely related to this mother and son. It was as despicable as expected; he just casually threw a bait, and they obediently ran at it.

At night, Bai Rui’s room welcomed an unexpected person.

Bai Rui had just finished taking a shower when he heard the sound of knocking on the door. He hurriedly wrapped a towel around himself and opened it, only to find Feng Yuzheng standing outside the door holding a glass of milk.

Bai Rui raised an eyebrow and looked at the other person in confusion, but still showed a smile. He turned around and let him in.

Feng Yuzheng walked into the room he hadn’t been in for many years and naturally placed the milk on the bedside. He then sat on a nearby chair and watched Bai Rui quietly.

Bai Rui didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, he just picked up a towel to wipe his wet hair and asked with a smile.

“Big brother, why did you suddenly remember to bring me milk?”

Feng Yuzheng’s eyes couldn’t help but linger on Bai Rui’s bare upper body, and the burn scar on his shoulder was clearly visible. It was from when he was young; a servant accidentally spilled freshly boiled water on him, but Feng Ruiran rushed up and pushed him away.

The little soft child shouted loudly for his brother and rushed forward; even though he was injured because of him, he still smiled and comforted him by saying it didn’t hurt. He was like a beam of light in his dark past.

Feng Yuzheng once hated his identity as an illegitimate child and was jealous of Feng Ruiran. Jealous that he was born with such an outstanding life and jealous that his mother was backed by the Xiao family. So, he conspired with Liu Xue to kill Xiao Ling.

But it was only after arriving at this home that Feng Yuzheng truly understood. Feng Yan was selfish, and Liu Xue was greedy and indifferent. Only the little Feng Ruiran was sincere to him, but he became more and more spoiled under the instigation of Liu Xue.

And he, because he already knew how Feng Ruiran’s mother was killed, couldn’t really get close to him. But recently, that cute and well-behaved Feng Ruiran seemed to have returned.

Feng Yuzheng stared intently at Bai Rui, involuntarily reaching out his hand to touch the scar on his shoulder, but was dodged by Bai Rui.

Bai Rui didn’t like to be touched by others; it was just a subconscious reaction. It was only after reacting that Bai Rui remembered Xiao Zhan occasionally rubbing his forehead and caressing his cheek. Perhaps Xiao Zhan was really special to him.

“Ruiran.”

Feng Yuzheng didn’t seem to expect Bai Rui to avoid him, so he pursed his lips and approached him again.

Bai Rui seemed oblivious but secretly left Feng Yuzheng’s side and walked to the wardrobe, quickly putting on his nightwear. Then, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Feng Yuzheng with confusion.

“Big brother, you haven’t said what you came to see me for.”

Feng Yuzheng shook his head; he looked at the blush on Bai Rui’s cheeks from the hot shower, and was subconsciously attracted to him. A pleasant smell lingered on his body, and he watched as a drop of water slid down Bai Rui’s slender neck.

Feng Yuzheng swallowed his saliva, and then a warm current flowed through his body. Feng Yuzheng’s eyes widened in shock, then he suddenly stood up and rushed out of the room.

Bai Rui looked at Feng Yuzheng’s hasty departure and raised an eyebrow. Then he nonchalantly complained to Lao Hei in his sea of consciousness.

“What’s wrong with Feng Yuzheng? Why did he come here?”

Because Lao Hei had kept the system open to monitor Feng Yuzheng, he naturally saw the other’s physical changes more intuitively. After a moment of silence, he responded with disbelief in his voice.

“Just now, the male lead’s part seemed to stand up for you.”

Bai Rui’s expression dulled, and his lips twitched. Lao Hei was obviously gloating.

“Xiao Rui, you are indeed a male beauty. However, Feng Yuzheng seems to have some ulterior motives towards the original owner. Tell me, if he really tells you that he likes you, what will you do?”

“What else should I do?”

Bai Rui sneered.

“Let’s not talk about the blood relationship between Feng Yuzheng and the original owner. Even if he likes Feng Ruiran, has there ever been a woman around him? If it weren’t for him, how could the original owner lose everything in the casino and be drugged and photographed like that? If this is considered love, then I can’t afford this love!”

At this moment, Feng Yuzheng, who rushed back to his room, looked at his body’s change and revealed a strange smile.

It turned out that he had always had such thoughts towards Ruiran. Feng Ruiran was the sun in the sky! Behind him was the Xiao family and that despicable Xiao Zhan. How could he possibly get him!

Feng Yuzheng’s expression turned grim as he thought of this, and then he remembered his previous plan with Liu Xue. That’s right! As long as Ruiran lost everything, he would no longer have any reliable barriers, and all he could rely on would be him.

Feng Yuzheng was thinking excitedly but didn’t notice that his expression had become a bit crazy. He sat on the chair, leaned against his forehead, and laughed softly as he spoke.

“Ruiran, my baby. Don’t worry, soon you will completely belong to brother. Brother will love you well, after all; when the time comes, the only one you’ll be able to rely on will be me.”

After two peaceful days, Zhao Ran, Feng Ruiran’s former close friend, called him and said it had been a long time since they last met, inviting him to go out and play together. Bai Rui refused without hesitation and hung up the phone, insisting that he didn’t want to be contacted in the future and wanted to say goodbye to his past life.

If it was a normal situation, Bai Rui wouldn’t explain so much to such insignificant people, but this Zhao Ran was Liu Xue’s person. Bai Rui knew that Liu Xue wanted to frame him through Zhao Ran in order to achieve her plan. However, using her little henchmen to deal with him seemed too idealistic.

Bai Rui hung up the phone and saw Xiao Zhan across from his desk looking at him. He immediately showed a perfect smile.

“Xiao Zhan, why are you still distracted while working?”

Xiao Zhan’s face showed an unnatural blush as he coughed lightly and responded.

“I just heard what you said, Xiaoran… you did the right thing.”

“What did I do right?”

Bai Rui blinked in confusion, but soon realized that Xiao Zhan heard him tell Zhao Ran that he wanted to reform himself.

Perhaps because he didn’t often praise others, Xiao Zhan’s tone was a bit stiff. However, Bai Rui was aware of Xiao Zhan’s personality and knew that the other was showing care, which subconsciously improved his mood.

Standing up with a smile, he walked over to Xiao Zhan’s side. His arms wrapped around Xiao Zhan’s sides, and he fastened them to both sides of the table. From the back, it looked like a young man was embracing a tall man.

Bai Rui lowered his head, pretending to be looking at the documents in Xiao Zhan’s hand, and casually asked, “What are you doing?”

The distance between the two was very close, and Xiao Zhan could feel the young man’s breath on his cheek. Being surrounded by him involuntarily swayed Xiao Zhan’s mind.

Xiao Zhan turned his head and looked at the young man’s lips, which was close at hand. His wet lips were so captivating that it instantly caught his attention.

Xiao Zhan felt crazy, because he felt every cell in his body clamoring to kiss those lips. The young man’s eyes were full of amusement, yet it was still clear and beautiful.

But it couldn’t be like this! He was Sister Ling’s child! Xiao Ran trusted him wholeheartedly!

Xiao Zhan felt guilty about his filthy thoughts and instinctively loosened his tie, feeling a bit suffocated. Taking a deep breath, he tried to speak to the young man in a cold tone.

“It’s just some ordinary documents, Xiaoran; go back to your seat and work.”

“I just wanted to ask what you’d like to eat for lunch. If you don’t feel comfortable, you can take off your tie.”

As Bai Rui spoke, he reached out and gently loosened Xiao Zhan’s tie. He pouted slightly, revealing an innocent expression.

As the slender fingers of the young man moved in front of him, Xiao Zhan felt his proud self-control gradually crumbling. He quickly lowered his head and stopped looking at the young man beside him.

His response sounded frantic: “I have a dinner party to attend at noon, so I won’t have dinner with you today.”

“I see.”

Bai Rui nodded thoughtfully and slowly returned to his seat. Using his hand to prop up his chin, a disappointed expression appeared on his face.

Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief at the young man’s departure, but when he saw the disappointed expression on the young man’s face, he couldn’t help but feel a little excited. However, he soon fell into self-condemnation again.

This feeling was both painful and sweet. Xiao Zhan suddenly realised that the young man across from him was like a poppy, poisonous but addictive.

Before noon, Xiao Zhan quickly left the office. Bai Rui looked at his hurried pace and pursed his lips, staring at Xiao Zhan’s back with a hint of determination in his eyes.

In fact, it wasn’t only Xiao Zhan who was seduced and attracted to Bai Rui; Bai Rui also became attracted to Xiao Zhan as they got along with each other.

Xiao Zhan, in terms of appearance and other aspects, was in line with Bai Rui’s preferences. However, after flirting with the other for several months and not even getting a kiss, Bai Rui felt a bit regretful.
