Yu Zi had always been annoyed by Xie Dongcheng’s boldness on the night he confessed. He hated feeling like he had lost control.

Today, he was determined to regain some ground.

Xie Dongcheng’s vision blurred for a moment, feeling a bit lost. He couldn’t do anything about it and could only let Yu Zi have his way.

Yu Zi used his fingers to part the fabric of Xie Dongcheng’s shirt, exposing his chest and abdomen directly to the light.

Since the arrival of summer, Xie Dongcheng hadn’t been using sunscreen, and his skin had darkened slightly. The deep tan of his abdominal muscles was particularly enticing under the light.

Yu Zi pushed the wine bottle and glasses aside with a clatter, clearing a large space on the table.

Then, he slowly sat on the table, looking down at him from above.

In the next moment, Yu Zi stretched out his toe and lightly tapped Xie Dongcheng’s chest.

Xie Dongcheng lowered his eyelids slightly and glimpsed through the gap in the ribbon, seeing the arch of Yu Zi’s foot. His feet were well-maintained and had hardly seen any sunlight, contrasting with the rest of his body, giving them a somewhat unhealthy paleness.

It was only then that Xie Dongcheng remembered that Yu Zi had taken a bath before dinner, realizing that he had planned this in advance.

Soon, Yu Zi gently pressed his foot against Xie Dongcheng’s chest, the pale sole of his foot rubbing against his taut skin inch by inch.

The icy touch and the warm skin created a beautiful scene in the night.

After only three or four seconds, Xie Dongcheng couldn’t help but let out a soft moan.

“Who is the master?” Yu Zi leaned in to look at him, his expression seemingly affectionate, but his tone demanding.

Perhaps due to shame, or perhaps because Yu Zi was too overwhelming at the moment, Xie Dongcheng felt unable to move.

Seeing that he didn’t answer, Yu Zi asked again, “Who is the boss?”

“It’s you.” His sense of shame almost burst through his heart, but he could only answer softly.

“I didn’t hear you.” Yu Zi deliberately shook his head. “Who is your master? Answer properly.”

“You, you are my boss,” Xie Dongcheng was stimulated by his actions, lifting his head slightly, his voice trembling.

Seeing his expression, Yu Zi clicked his tongue, then lowered his head to see the changes in his body.

“What’s wrong, Xie Dongcheng? Are you a pervert?”

Xie Dongcheng couldn’t refute, but he couldn’t stop the most direct reaction of his body.

Sweat beads had already formed on his forehead, enduring to the limit. Yu Zi no longer teased him and leaned over to whisper in his ear, “Here or the bedroom?”

“The bedroom.” Xie Dongcheng replied in a low voice, then forcefully untied the red velvet ribbon in front of him, attempting to carry Yu Zi away.

However, Yu Zi firmly pressed him down with his legs, bending down to hook his chin with his fingertips. “Good. Then let’s stay here.”

Xie Dongcheng finally understood. Yu Zi wanted to challenge him directly. He wanted to control the situation entirely, making him completely submit.

The scenes that followed were more shocking to Xie Dongcheng’s heart with each passing moment, leaving him no time to react.

Yu Zi was like a white fox that had escaped from the Thousand Year Snow Mountain, all his weaknesses were deliberate, all a disguise.

An hour later, with the shirt scattered on the ground, Xie Dongcheng leaned back against the chair, breathing heavily, while the wind outside the window rustled loudly.

Yu Zi lay on his chest, their heartbeats almost synchronized, gradually slowing down from the intense rhythm.

Yu Zi’s moist fingertips slid over his shoulders, finally embracing Xie Dongcheng’s neck, whispering softly in his ear, “Good boy.”

…………………

The day of the banquet arrived quickly. Xie Dongcheng’s black shirt was sent for a thorough dry cleaning in the end.

Xie Dongcheng sprayed the perfume bought by Yu Zi and changed into a brand new outfit. The two of them drove to the venue of the party.

This party was different from previous ones, as most of the attendees were well-known real estate developers from the northern city. Before setting off, Yu Zi was a bit nervous. His family had many dealings with real estate developers in the past, and he didn’t want to encounter old acquaintances here.

The party had not yet begun, and most people were mingling freely in the courtyard. Despite the scorching weather, many were still dressed in suits and leather shoes.

Xie Dongcheng still wasn’t quite accustomed to such occasions. He smoothed out the slight wrinkles on his shirt a few times when nobody was paying attention and anxiously asked Yu Zi, “Am I okay like this?”

Yu Zi chuckled and gestured towards the people inside, “Look at those men in there. Which one of them looks as dignified as you?”

Yu Zi spoke the truth. Most of the ladies present were mature and elegant, while the men who had worked their way up in the real estate industry had picked up some oily habits. They were either pot-bellied or oily-haired with powdered faces. Xie Dongcheng’s tall and sturdy figure stood out among them.

The two of them, dressed in black and white, did attract some attention as they walked through the crowd. Soon, they found a comfortable corner, ready to seize the opportunity.

However, while Yu Zi was lost in thought, he saw a familiar figure.

“Sister Lin?!” Yu Zi called out to the person’s back.

The lady quickly turned around, her face showing surprise, “Yu Zi? What are you doing here?”

Seeing this, they quickly approached. Xie Dongcheng also greeted Sister Lin.

“We’re catering for this party. The organizers invited us to join.” Yu Zi extended his right hand to shake hands with Sister Lin. He still felt a bit guilty about the wine purchase that didn’t go through last time.

Sister Lin didn’t say much, but she was as friendly as ever.

“Sister Lin, why are you here?” Yu Zi casually asked.

“Oh,” Sister Lin hesitated for a moment before telling him the truth, “The host of today’s event is the same person who wanted to buy wine from you last time.”

Yu Zi was stunned. He hadn’t expected the northern city to be so small. Now he could only be thankful that he hadn’t met this buyer in person before, or it would have been quite awkward.

Seeing his silence, Sister Lin continued, “The buyer’s name is Yan Ming, but we all call him Paul. He’s the CEO of XY Real Estate’s Greater China region.”

After saying this, Sister Lin picked up a name tag from the table and showed it to him.

Yu Zi nodded. XY Real Estate was a famous property developer in the northern city. Last year, they had acquired two massive plots of land at a premium, gaining considerable attention.

“He bought the wine last time for this party?” Yu Zi asked.

“Yes,” Sister Lin nodded.

Where did he get the wine later? This aroused Yu Zi’s curiosity. Could he really have sent someone to buy it from a French winery? In such a short time, unless he took a flight to buy it, there wouldn’t have been enough time. And one person couldn’t possibly bring back so much quantity.

Sister Lin exchanged a few words with them before being called away by other acquaintances.

The early summer evening was still warm, and in order to cool down, the attendants turned on the fans, causing the roses in the garden to sway gently.

As the warm breeze blew and the evening sun’s rays enveloped the courtyard with the fragrance of flowers, a young man stepped onto the front of the courtyard where the spotlight was focused.

The man picked up the microphone, tested the sound twice, and then began to speak, “Dear guests, good evening, everyone. Welcome to our early summer party. For this party, Paul specially had me purchase dozens of bottles of fine wine from top French wineries for everyone to enjoy.”

After he finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked onto the stage from the side.

Yu Zi guessed that this man must be Paul. He looked a bit gray-haired, but obviously well-groomed. He wasn’t too tall, dressed in a well-tailored gray suit, and wearing luxury brand shoes familiar to Yu Zi. From top to bottom, he exuded an aura carefully crafted by wealth.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, there was a burst of enthusiastic applause from the audience. Yu Zi knew he had guessed right.

At the same time, the attendants at the party had already started bringing out the wine, carefully placing them on the long table in the center of the venue.

Yu Zi glanced around and indeed saw the wine he had been looking for. The bottles were neatly arranged in a row. He couldn’t help but sigh, truly worthy of the CEO of the Greater China region of Xuyang, with such extensive connections. He had searched for so long and only found two or three bottles, and in the end, he had been tricked by Wang Jing. Yet, in such a short time, he had managed to gather them all.

The attendants opened the bottles and carefully poured the wine into the glasses in front of the guests.

Yu Zi stood in the back row and did not immediately get his hands on this batch of fine wine. He looked through the crowd and saw that many had already raised their glasses and started drinking. These urban elites in suits and leather shoes were toasting and enjoying the wine. Their voices kept reaching Yu Zi’s ears.

“It truly deserves to be from a top winery.”

“This taste is something I’ve never experienced before.”

“Indeed, this winery and vintage are of top-notch quality.”

Compliments wrapped around praises for the wine, floating in the air at the party.

The crowd in front of Yu Zi finally dispersed, and he and Xie Dongcheng finally approached the long table.

There happened to be two glasses of wine on the table, and they each took one.

Just as Yu Zi was about to lift his glass to take a sip, his gaze was drawn to a bottle on the table. The bottle seemed to have been left there by an attendant, and there was still half a bottle of wine inside.

However, that wasn’t important. What mattered was the bright red fingerprint on the front label of the bottle.

That red fingerprint looked particularly familiar. Yu Zi extended his thumb and gently pressed it onto the label of the bottle. It fit perfectly, it was his own fingerprint.

It was on that stormy night when he accidentally left the red fingerprint with ink.

This bottle of wine, he would never forget. The fake wine Wang Jing sold him unexpectedly showed up here!

“I’ve had wine from this vineyard in France before.”

“To think such collections are available, Paul is truly remarkable.”

“The flavor from this vineyard is truly different.”

The praises around him continued unabated.

Seeing Yu Zi touching the wine bottle without moving, Xie Dongcheng gently patted his shoulder, “What’s wrong?”

Yu Zi took a deep breath and turned to him after a while, “Wang Jing, that scoundrel, turns out he was right about something.”

Xie Dongcheng didn’t understand, “Wang Jing? What did he say?”
