Confession – Your Genes are the Best

---

“It’s all fake,” Chi Yao said to Fu Rong.

Fu Rong’s eyes were still bloodshot; he held Chi Yao’s hand tightly, as if letting go just a little would mean losing him and returning to that place without Chi Yao and the baby.

“I’m not sure,” Fu Rong shook his head, his head still uncomfortable and pounding.

Chi Yao raised his hand to press on Fu Rong’s temple.

“Have you not been resting well lately? Also, you care too much about me and the baby.”

“That video, the one from the web drama, of course, is fake. Everyone saw it; how could it be real? Worrying causes chaos; the baby and I are both fine; nothing will happen to either of us.”

Chi Yao softened his voice; he weighed his words carefully, choosing not to mention his rebirth or the previous life to Fu Rong. He knew Fu Rong would definitely believe him, but he also knew that mentioning it might make Fu Rong more concerned about him and the baby. Just one video had made Fu Rong feel that he and the baby would leave him. If Fu Rong knew about the previous life and that those things were real, that they would both die, he would only feel more guilt.

Just now, when I thought Fu Rong really fell off the cliff with the car, in that moment, Chi Yao surprisingly felt a desire to jump down with the baby.

He realized that he also love Fu Rong.

Yes, perhaps he had love him since the last life, from the moment this person stood before the gravestone, shedding tears for him and the baby. It might even be earlier, when he saw Fu Rong in the morgue before his family, coming to take a look at him and the baby.

Chi Yao thought that perhaps from that time, he already had Fu Rong in his heart.

“Don’t worry, we’re all here. No one will leave,” Chi Yao said, hugging Fu Rong. The man’s broad and tall back seemed to have become fragile at that moment.

“You originally…” Fu Rong thought of a question.

“Why did you disguise your identity?” He wondered why Chi Yao had come close to him under false pretenses and slept with him.

This question had always lingered in Fu Rong’s heart.

“I know my body is different from ordinary people.”

“I had a surgery in another place earlier. That was real; I had a benign tumor in my stomach. During the full-body checkup at the hospital, they found I had two sets of reproductive organs.”

“Later, after my body healed, I considered whether to have that set of organs surgically removed, but before that, I wanted to try.”

“I hadn’t thought about having children; I just wanted to see what my body was like.”

“You, Fu Rong, I’ve always been jealous of you. You’re a heartthrob in the eyes of the public, like a mirror reflecting my darker sides. Perhaps when I was jealous, I actually liked you a bit.”

“So, I seized the opportunity. Plus, you’re so outstanding; your genes are too good. If I were to have a baby, I think your genes would be the best.”

“You wanted to… borrow my genes?”

Fu Rong hesitated before speaking.

“Yes,” Chi Yao nodded, laughing as he stroked Fu Rong’s handsome face, wiping away the tears that had just marked his cheeks.

“Are you angry?”

“If I hadn’t discovered it, would you have intended not to tell me about the child?”

“Yes.” Chi Yao admitted this point. He originally planned to raise the child alone, never considering telling Fu Rong.

Because their personalities were too different, and from any perspective, it seemed impossible for them to be together.

Fu Rong sighed in relief; as long as that was the reason, he was glad he discovered the truth.

Otherwise, having Chi Yao raise a child alone would be too difficult.

“Let’s go back. To our home,” Chi Yao said to Fu Rong.

He turned around, opened the door, got out of the car, and went to the other car to bring the baby over, placing him in the child seat.

This car had a lot of space. Fu Rong also got out from the other side. After the baby arrived, he leaned down to kiss the baby’s hair.

The baby seemed to know something; he raised his little hand to touch Fu Rong’s face, saying, “Daddy, don’t cry. It’s okay.”

Both Fu Rong and Chi Yao smiled.

Fu Rong kissed the baby’s little hand and sat in the driver’s seat. In his haste to leave, he hadn’t brought a driver, so Fu Rong drove himself.

Before they started, Chi Yao in the back seat asked, “Do you want me to drive?”

Chi Yao was concerned that Fu Rong’s emotions weren’t quite stable.

“It’s okay. Seeing you and the baby makes everything fine.”

With these two accompanying him, nothing was a problem for Fu Rong.

At the same time, Fu Rong actually had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Chi Yao, but after thinking about it, he held back.

Chi Yao didn’t want him to overthink, so he decided not to dwell on it.

The three of them returned home.

The baby had also been startled. After they got back, he ate a little and then fell asleep. Fu Rong and Chi Yao sat together in the back garden, holding hands. Fu Rong lay on Chi Yao’s lap while Chi Yao stroked the man’s tousled hair.

Fu Rong closed his eyes and leaned against Chi Yao’s chest, dozing off for a while.

Fu Rong’s phone rang. His eyelids flickered, but he didn’t answer. Chi Yao took the phone.

It was Fu Rong’s assistant calling. Since Fu Rong had left in a hurry, as if something was wrong, the assistant had previously called Fu Rong but received no answer, so he tried again to check.

Chi Yao answered the call: “Yes, it’s fine. He’s resting. Anything can wait until tomorrow.”

Chi Yao then turned off the phone.

He knew that for Fu Rong, nothing at that moment could be more important than him and the baby.

At that moment, Chi Yao could only thank the heavens for giving him and the baby a second chance.

Although the discussions about Chi Yao on the internet hadn’t escalated, there were always some people with nothing to do who liked to twist the truth, finding pleasure in smearing others. Suddenly, some insiders emerged, claiming to know Chi Yao.

They said that Chi Yao was of a common identity, together with Fu Rong, and was being supported by Fu Rong for money. This web drama was just a test, and he only had a pretty face to attract people.

If such a person became famous, the entertainment industry would be too dirty.

What the other party said sounded almost believable, even releasing some photos that surprisingly included Fu Rong. In those photos, Fu Rong and Chi Yao were getting into a car, appearing very intimate in their poses.

Although this was spreading in a small circle, the number of people jumping on the bandwagon to criticize Chi Yao suddenly increased. Some people hid in the shadows, thinking they could vent their language violence behind a screen, saying the most insulting things they could.

The person in charge of Chi Yao’s company had been closely monitoring the situation. Initially, they wanted to have the posts deleted immediately, but remembering Chi Yao’s personality, they thought it might be better for him to know. While some might endure the smears, Chi Yao would absolutely not.

Looking at the previous comments from these people, it was absurd; they practically wanted to catch anyone online to curse at them, as if to showcase how awake and intelligent they were, while everyone else were fools.

The person in charge collected the accounts of those who had been the most vocal in criticizing him. Without waiting for Chi Yao to give instructions, he immediately arranged for someone to investigate. Although the internet seemed to be anonymous, the louder someone barked, the more their personal information was exposed. Within just a couple of days, they managed to gather the personal details of those individuals, including their jobs and company information.

None of them really had much ability; they were all just half-baked. They couldn’t express themselves so recklessly in real life, but online, they became kings of online insults.

After collecting all the necessary information, the person in charge finally mentioned it to Chi Yao. Fortunately, no one had attacked the baby. While there were some people who had exposed information about the baby, the attackers probably hadn’t noticed, which was why they hadn’t targeted the baby. If they had dared to attack the baby, the consequences would have been even worse.

Chi Yao spent two days accompanying Fu Rong. After that day, Fu Rong’s health deteriorated; he caught a cold and had a doctor come to their home to administer IV fluids.

Fu Rong held Chi Yao’s hand tightly. A man who had once been so strong was now brought low, grasping Chi Yao’s hand as if afraid he would leave once he closed his eyes.

Chi Yao had no other choice but to stay with Fu Rong. Once Fu Rong’s condition improved a bit, Chi Yao invited a friend over. This friend wasn’t very close, but he had studied some psychology, so Chi Yao asked him to talk to Fu Rong.

It seemed they talked for an entire afternoon, and Fu Rong’s condition improved significantly, looking much better.

Chi Yao thanked his friend, who waved it off, saying he should be the one grateful to hear about their relationship.

Neither Chi Yao nor Fu Rong mentioned the earlier issue again. It wasn’t that they were hiding anything from each other, but because they both loved each other and didn’t want to worry the other.

Chi Yao learned from the person in charge of the entertainment company about the slanderous comments directed at him online over the past few days. These comments were completely untrue. Seeing the people crazily insulting him, Chi Yao thought even the barking of dogs was more pleasant to hear.

He instructed the person in charge to handle the situation, telling them to sue the perpetrators. He didn’t want apologies; he just wanted those people to lose their jobs.

The person in charge nodded; the company had plenty of money. They hired specialized lawyers and slowly began to sue those individuals.

The online trolls, particularly those who had been the most aggressive, suddenly received court summons for defamation and insult charges, being brought to court.

Initially, they thought it was a minor issue, a lot of noise but little action. Gradually, they realized it was serious, but by that time, it was too late for regrets.

What awaited them were legal troubles.

After handing over the matter, Chi Yao didn’t pay much attention anymore. The director soon learned Chi Yao’s true identity—that he was the real power behind the company. Only a few senior executives knew this, as Chi Yao rarely visited the office. The director nearly broke into a sweat when they had to get the company’s owner to act.

Chi Yao stopped taking part in the web drama to avoid any incidents like the one at the grave. That day had truly frightened him, and he didn’t want a repeat.

Chi Yao distanced himself from the entertainment industry, trying to reduce the time spent out or going out alone, especially since he was now a family man. He wanted to spend more time with the baby and Fu Rong.

Chi Yao was often at home, while Fu Rong seemed busier with work. However, no matter how busy Fu Rong was, he always returned home at night. If he was out, it would be no more than two or three days.

In the past couple of days, Fu Rong had gone out again, and the baby had been taken to play with Fu Rong’s parents. Chi Yao was at home with his phone. He could easily make plans with someone but felt he should take care of a particular matter.

Since he had some free time, he decided to go.
