Jealousy – Marked by Kiss Marks

---

A lot of search results came up for Chi Yao, but the first one wasn’t someone familiar. As they continued scrolling down, it seemed there was no relevant information about Chi Yao.

So someone wondered if Chi Yao might really be in a sugar baby relationship.

However, upon reflecting on Chi Yao’s usual behavior, his seemingly calm demeanor hid a certain eccentricity. There was an incident when someone accidentally knocked something over, and it landed on Chi Yao. The other person apologized, but Chi Yao’s glare could have made one think he was about to kill.

At that moment, the air around them felt thick, and many people didn’t dare to breathe.

Moreover, just now, the way Fu Rong and Chi Yao interacted seemed to indicate that Fu Rong had walked behind Chi Yao when they got in the car, while Chi Yao sat directly inside.

If Chi Yao were genuinely mingling in the entertainment industry, perhaps as an influencer or some other role, it might be plausible that he was being kept by someone.

But it was clear that he had no interest in the entertainment world, only in this villainous character.

Interestingly, it seemed that no one had Chi Yao’s contact information; the company also hadn’t signed him on, as they had only found him as a temporary hire.

Chi Yao’s identity had become a mystery among them.

One actor, who wasn’t a lead but played a secondary male role, would later attend a gathering with some friends outside the industry about a month later. During that time, by chance, he saw someone who looked a bit like Chi Yao and immediately approached him, calling out Chi Yao’s name.

The boy who was grabbed turned around, looking surprised.

Clearly, although he wasn’t Chi Yao, he was familiar with the name.

So the young man pulled him over and asked a couple of questions, getting some information about Chi Yao’s identity from the boy, and mentioned Chi Yao and Fu Rong in passing.

This boy was the one Chi Yao had approached earlier, using this boy to shake off Shen Ling.

However, Chi Yao took care of that; the boy had been pushed out of the entertainment circle by Shen Ling and had since opened a small clothing studio with his own money. He still knew some people and was trying to squeeze into higher circles, and his studio was doing reasonably well now.

He had almost forgotten about Chi Yao when suddenly someone popped up asking him for information about Chi Yao.

Initially, the boy had felt a bit jealous and resentful towards this person, as his face was similar to Chi Yao’s, but as time went on, he adjusted his feelings. He always knew that people were different, and leaving the entertainment industry meant he couldn’t move forward anymore. He had come to terms with it; it was okay not to advance, as he didn’t have much background. His face might be good-looking, but his intelligence didn’t seem to match, and he wasn’t very good at charming others.

He was content with running a studio and making a little money, just enough to get by.

He never expected that one day he would hear about Chi Yao from someone else. Gradually, he found himself changing his view on Chi Yao and wanting to get closer to him.

He was also puzzled about something else: that day when he went to find Chi Yao, he was pulled away by Chang Feng, and then he accidentally ran into Fu Rong, who clearly mistook him for someone else.

It seemed like there should be some connection between them, but then Fu Rong realized he had mistaken the person.

The boy felt something was strange about this; he guessed it had a lot to do with Chi Yao.

He had gathered a little information: Chi Yao had married Fu Rong and had a child.

Knowing that those two had a child made the boy even more envious.

However, he had no opportunity to meet Chi Yao; there was no intersection between them.

Now, with someone asking him, the boy looked at this person’s expression and felt that they seemed to know Chi Yao. Could it be that he also had a chance to see Chi Yao, to meet the person he resembled?

The boy shared everything he knew and learned from this minor actor that Chi Yao had actually gone on to act in web dramas.

Given his background, it was astonishing that he would act in a web drama.

The boy regretted not having the opportunity to act alongside Chi Yao.

He told the actor that he had met Chi Yao once and even had a meal together, though this was a bit of a lie; however, he hoped the actor would still take it seriously.

Neither of them had Chi Yao’s phone number, but the actor left his number with the boy, saying that if he ever wanted to arrange a meeting with Chi Yao, he hoped they could all get together.

After the actor returned to the company, he found out that the previous executive director had Chi Yao’s phone number, so he asked the director for it.

He just didn’t know how to invite Chi Yao out; he felt that any reason he could think of seemed inappropriate.

For the time being, the actor put this matter aside and decided to wait until later.

Once the web drama was finished, Chi Yao had more free time.

Their baby was about to turn one, and Chi Yao hadn’t decided whether to eat out or not, but many people were already asking him where he would be so they could free up their schedules.

With too many people involved, Chi Yao simply decided to celebrate the baby’s birthday at a restaurant. Since he and Fu Rong both owned hotels, they could choose any place, and they picked one with a large garden pool.

The weather was pleasantly cool, not hot or cold, making it a good season for swimming.

The rooftop at home had already been remodeled by Fu Rong into a swimming pool.

Sometimes, Chi Yao would take the baby to the pool at home; the little one clearly enjoyed it and played happily in the water.

Chi Yao kept a close watch, ensuring the baby wouldn’t get into any trouble.

Occasionally, after the baby fell asleep, Chi Yao would pull Fu Rong to the pool, and they would engage in some beneficial activities for their health.

Being in their own home, they had taken precautions so that no one else could see them, but the sky above was completely visible. Chi Yao wrapped his arms around Fu Rong’s back, their bodies rising and sinking in the pool’s water.

Looking down, Chi Yao could see the two wings above Fu Rong’s shoulder blades, and occasionally, his nails would scratch the surface, leaving marks and adding a special dark red pattern to the wings.

Chi Yao loved anything that made him happy; as long as he was joyful, he would pursue it.

Compared to Fu Rong, Chi Yao was much more playful.

Sometimes, Fu Rong felt that although there was not much age difference between him and Chi Yao, they were actually two different types of people.

He couldn’t be as carefree and flamboyant as Chi Yao; however, it was Chi Yao who added vibrant colors to Fu Rong’s otherwise gray life.

He was grateful to have met Chi Yao; otherwise, he felt that his entire life would seem meaningless.

Unlike the things Chi Yao liked, Fu Rong would accommodate Chi Yao. As long as Chi Yao remembered that he was at home, he could play however he wanted outside.

Fu Rong thought this way, but for some reason, more and more people were gathering around Chi Yao, and there were often people confessing their feelings to him. Although Chi Yao would directly reject them, there was one time Fu Rong happened to see it; he noticed that Chi Yao shook his head and said he already had a partner. Fu Rong still felt displeased, so he went over, wrapped his arms around Chi Yao, and kissed him directly.

He wished he could mark his name on Chi Yao’s body, letting everyone know that Chi Yao was his and that no one should attempt to steal him away or think about getting close to him.

It would be best if those people disappeared quickly and didn’t look at Chi Yao with affectionate eyes in places he didn’t know about.

Seeing those admiring gazes and knowing that Chi Yao wouldn’t agree, Fu Rong still felt very possessive.

As a result, sometimes in the early morning, when Chi Yao left the house, Fu Rong would catch him and hold him close, leaving marks on Chi Yao’s neck. This way, Chi Yao would have his mark on him.

Chi Yao noticed Fu Rong’s little actions due to his overflowing possessiveness but said nothing about it.

However, with Fu Rong doing this every day, the marks on Chi Yao’s neck never faded. Over time, Chi Yao grew unwilling to cooperate.

Whenever Fu Rong leaned in closer, Chi Yao would directly refuse him.

No matter Fu Rong’s expression, Chi Yao would turn and walk away.

If this person were allowed to continue, he was afraid he would end up with marks all over his face. Chi Yao touched his neck, where the marks had just faded, only for new ones to appear. He thought he couldn’t indulge Fu Rong any longer.

He wondered where he hadn’t made it clear enough; Fu Rong was getting more and more jealous. He couldn’t just keep Fu Rong from going out, could he?

That day, Chi Yao took the baby with him to the park. It was currently the season for blooming flowers, and there was a park holding an art exhibition, so Chi Yao decided to go by car.

When he had the time, Chi Yao would take the baby out to explore and let him interact with the outside world, ensuring the baby didn’t stay cooped up at home all the time.

Xue Zhongming and Chang Feng had been busy lately, so Chi Yao hadn’t contacted them and decided to wait until they were free to arrange a gathering.

Another person called Chi Yao, someone named Feng Ming, who he hadn’t known well before but had been getting closer to lately.

Feng Ming could be considered a third-generation rich kid; his family was well-off, and while he enjoyed playing, he also knew how to work and manage his money.

He had a somewhat similar personality to Chi Yao’s, especially not long ago when they had all gathered at a hot pot restaurant. There had been a situation where another customer accidentally knocked over their bowl and blamed the waiter, then stood up to kick the waiter.

The man ended up kicking him to the ground, clutching his stomach and breaking out in a cold sweat. The restaurant manager came over, but the man was still shouting that he was from the city government, threatening that if they interfered, he would ensure the restaurant couldn’t continue operating.

The manager wanted to avoid affecting other customers and just wanted to defuse the situation quickly, but that guy wasn’t backing down. Seeing the manager being so easy to bully, he picked up a bowl and smashed it over the manager’s head.

No one dared to step in, fearing trouble.

Feng Ming also didn’t intend to get involved; he didn’t want to make waves. Suddenly, Chi Yao threw something over, hitting the man squarely on the back.

The man immediately turned around angrily, asking who it was, and Chi Yao raised his hand, saying it was him.

The man approached aggressively, but before he could reach Chi Yao, Chi Yao kicked him in the knee, making him kneel.

Chi Yao grabbed the man’s hair and asked, “What’s your identity? Speak clearly.”

The man threatened to kill Chi Yao.

At that moment, Chi Yao wore a proud and defiant expression, which immediately caught Feng Ming’s attention.

Feng Ming absolutely loved that attitude. Later, he helped drag the man out of the hot pot restaurant, calling for someone to come over. A few days later, they managed to get the man arrested on charges of causing a disturbance. As for him being someone from the government, it was better not to let such a person sully their reputation.

Feng Ming made a point to note that the man was directly suspended from his position.

Feng Ming liked Chi Yao’s personality, which suited him perfectly, so he often took the initiative to invite Chi Yao out. That day, he knew Chi Yao was going to see the flower exhibition, and since he was nearby, he drove over.

After wandering around for a bit without exerting much effort, he quickly found Chi Yao.

Chi Yao was standing next to a flowerbed with his son; Feng Ming clearly saw someone taking pictures of them, rather than the blooming flowers.
