While Yan Xiao was investigating Father Ye’s contacts, the Ye family was mired in chaos. Ye Yao had been detained for 21 days after his arrest. However, his debt continued to grow beyond 80 million yuan, with high-interest rates snowballing his debt to a princely sum each day.
With Ye Fei unwilling to help, Father Ye resorted to asking the Wang family for help. He hoped that they could talk to the creditors to delay the deadline. After all, Wang Zhao was the root cause of Ye Yao’s gambling and drug habit.
But how could a family that raised Wang Zhao into such a rascal be willing to help? Father Ye was unceremoniously thrown out, with the Wang family implying that it was Ye Yao’s fault for leading Wang Zhao astray. Father Ye almost vomited blood at their words.
Whatever that could be sold had been sold, down to the Ye matriarch Wang Lingling’s bags and jewelry. However, 20 million yuan was left unpaid.
“Cry, cry, cry, all you know is how to cry!” Father Ye shoved Wang Lingling away and gave the chair next to him a violent kick. “The reason he is like this is because you spoiled him!”
Wang Lingling wiped the tears off her face, and held Father Ye’s arm as she sobbed, “Darling, those loan sharks are inhumane! What if they find A-Yao when he comes out of jail! You have to help him!” She continued to sob as she faced Father Ye with watery eyes. “If something happens to A-Yao, I won’t live anymore!”
In the past, Father Ye had loved Wang Lingling’s tear-struck pear face when she begged him mindlessly, giving him a sense of superiority as the household master. Now, that same lovely face simply irritated him.
“Then die!” He shoved Wang Lingling’s hands away and coldly replied.
Wang Lingling had been with Father Ye for 23 years. Even when she was a mistress that could not be seen in public and Ye Fei’s mother was still alive, she had never suffered such grievances. She froze, before crying even harder.
The nameless fire in Father Ye’s chest burnt fiercer as his frustration grew, and he pointed at the door. “Cry and you’ll be out of the door! Damn, marrying you is useless! F*ck, marrying you is useless! You can’t even suggest an answer at crunch time!” He leaned on the table to catch his breath, and stared at Wang Lingling with bloodshot eyes. “Even giving birth to such a wastrel! I spent half my life trying to build my fortune and he squanders it all!”
“Do you regret marrying me? Are you regretting it?” Wang Lingling’s love struck brain refused to function. Father Ye’s words had provoked her into rushing forward to scratch and claw at his face, screaming. “How about you! Why do you just refuse to sell Dingyuan! Is it because Dingyuan was left to you by that woman? Have you not let her go in your heart yet?!”
Her words pierced Father Ye’s inverse scale. He hated people who gossiped about his humble origins and how he had needed that woman to climb up the social ladder. Furthermore, the woman who spoke was the same woman who had shared his bed for more than 20 years. Father Ye kicked Wang Lingling to the ground and looked down at her.
“Get out.” Father Ye’s face was calm, but his eyes were filled with hostility. He stared daggers at Wang Lingling, as though he could cut her to pieces. This was not a look that Wang Lingling had seen before, and she shivered before stumbling to her feet. She turned on her heel and ran out of the study in fear.
The door was closed with a click, and Father Ye sat in front of his desk with a gloomy expression. When he was thirty years old, he suffered from testicular atrophy, and since then he had been unable to sire a child. In this life, he could only have two sons: Ye Fei and Ye Yao.
Ye Fei is gay, and now he was someone else’s plaything. For his bloodline to continue, nothing could happen to Ye Yao.
Father Ye sighed, got up and opened the safe at the corner of the study.
There laid a pile of gold bars neatly stacked. According to the current market price, they were worth about 10 million yuan. Father Ye gently stroked it; this was his last insurance, and something left behind by his former wife.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never touch it.
Father Ye grabbed two gold bars, when his fingers caught onto several pieces of paper. He frowned and was about to put the papers back, but stopped when he saw its contents.
It was Ye Fei’s insurance plans. Father Ye’s expression changed, and he stood motionless for a long time. Only when the light in the study dimmed did he slowly put the gold bars back into the safe, before searching the safe for all of Ye Fei’s insurance contracts.
There were several critical illness insurance plans, with a total sum insured for more than 60 million. Father Ye closed his eyes, and slowly stroked the contracts with his palm.
Ye Fei was his first child, and in better times he had loved his eldest son sincerely. However, as Ye Fei grew older, that boy started to resemble his first wife more and more. Father Ye felt uncomfortable every time he looked at that face.
In addition… Father Ye picked up the phone and entered eleven digits. Ye Fei was not as much a fool as Ye Yao. If he had found out about that, what would he do?
Father Ye’s teeth clenched as he pressed in his contact’s number. It took three times before he was finally contacted. The other party whispered, as if he was afraid of being found out.
“What’s the matter?”
“Is that thing still there?”

Ye Fei scrolled through the suggested website with disgust. Lighters, sneakers… Each entry had been given before; after all, he had been friends with Gu Ruijia for more than ten years.
Ye Fei threw his phone away and clicked his tongue. “What the hell, no one is reliable. Brother Yan, what did you give Cheng Minghao for his birthday?” He looked up at Yan Xiao.
“Nothing. “ Yan Xiao reached to stroke Ye Fei’s face with gentle fingers.
Ye Fei: “…”
Okay, this… was typical of Yan Xiao. He sighed, and rubbed Yan Xiao’s shoulder in return.
“Just thinking about this costs me a lot of brain cells.” Yan Xiao could not bear Ye Fei to fret even over something like this. Though he knew that he was not good at social undercurrents such as this, he attempted to help Ye Fei solve the issue.
“Give him what he likes.”
“He likes sports cars, collects red wine, and also likes pretty girls,” Ye Fei thought for a while, “I can’t afford sports cars, and I can’t get red wine. I can’t introduce someone to him, can I?”
Yan Xiao said “buy”, and continued with a dangerous “I have the money”.
Ye Fei laughed. “Forget it, it’s too expensive, there’s no need for that.”
Yan Xiao was silent for a while. “What red wine do you want?”
“Why, you have?” Ye Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“It’s in the wine cellar,” Yan Xiao told Ye Fei, “I got it as a gift from someone else.”
“Wine cellar?” Ye Fei was dumbfounded, before he remembered that Yan Xiao’s villa had a dedicated wine cellar, and he had never visited the place. This roused his curiosity.
“Let’s go and have a look.”
The villa’s wine cellar was built underground, and had a floor area of about twenty square meters. Light brown solid wood wine racks were firmly embedded in the walls. Bottles of red wine were then neatly placed on the racks.
“I can’t believe you have so many treasures hidden.” Ye Fei was dazzled as soon as he entered the door. There was everything from well-known old wine brands to newly popular emerging brands.
“It’s not hidden.” Yan Xiao solemnly responded.
Ye Fei could not help but laugh, before he deliberately teased him, “Oh, then I get to handle all of these?”
“Yes.”
“You mean whatever’s yours is mine?”
Yan Xiao affirmed and clasped Ye Fei’s hand in return. Ye Fei widened his eyes and smiled innocently at this honest person.
“What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is mine, okay?”
Yan Xiao nodded without hesitation. “Okay.”
Ye Fei felt that Yan Xiao was truly too earnest; he tiptoed and kissed the corner of Yan Xiao’s lips. After a pause, he pressed Yan Xiao’s lips again, and purred, “Just kidding. What’s mine is also yours.”
In the end, Ye Fei chose a 1992 Romanee-Conti. Though it was not the most expensive wine in the cellar, it was produced in the same year that Gu Ruijia was born.
Gu Ruijia chose to throw his birthday bash at a hotel and chose to invite only a few close friends for dinner. As Ye Fei’s partner, Yan Xiao was naturally invited.
After receiving the wine bottle from the two of them, Gu Ruijia was satisfied and did not let go of it. Afraid that the quality of the wine would be damaged if it was kept in a booth with a high ambient temperature, he even deposited it in the hotel’s wine cellar to protect it.
Yan Xiao contemplated Gu Ruijia’s delighted face. Would Ye Fei be so happy if he received a gift?
“Finally, you’ve done something decent.” After returning, Gu Ruijia sat down next to Ye Fei and clinked glasses with him, “Come on, cheers.”
Ye Fei had a high alcohol tolerance and did not refuse. He downed the champagne in one shot to the applause of Sun Qiong, Zhou Zhensheng and Cheng Minghao.
“Brother Xiao,” Gu Ruijia turned to Yan Xiao again, and thrusted another glass into his hand. “I know you don’t drink alcohol, this one is non-alcoholic.”
Yan Xiao looked down at the colorful drink, paused, before picking it up for a sip. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Gu Ruijia waved his hand and grinned, “How is it? Is it delicious? I like this drink very much.”
There was a lingering sweet taste in his mouth, Yan Xiao frowned slightly, and slowly spat out a word. “Yeah.” As he pondered if he needed to take a second sip to prove his words, the cup in his hand was snatched away.
“Let me taste it.” Ye Fei raised his head and drank the rest of it.
“Damn,” Gu Ruijia glared at him, “If you want it so badly, just order another. Why did you rob Brother Xiao?”
Ye Fei licked his lower lip, and smirked. “I just like to drink what he drinks, mind your own.”
Gu Ruijia was too choked to utter a word. After a moment of speechlessness, he gave an angry “Go on and flirt!” before he ran off to play a card game with the others, unable to tolerate Ye Fei’s sheer audacity.
Ye Fei took a bottle of water from the coffee table and handed it to Yan Xiao. He winked, leaned over and said softly, “I’ll drink it for you.”
Yan Xiao looked at his eyes shining under the light, and wondered how he could show his tenderness. After a moment of silence, his hand made its way under the table to clasp Ye Fei’s palm in his. Ye Fei was taken aback, before his lips curled in content.
At the same time, Gu Ruijia, who was extremely absorbed in the game, stretched out his elbow and knocked Sun Qiong’s phone away.
“Damn, you really know how to choose the opportunity,” Sun Qiong gave an ominous smile before he bent over to pick up his phone, “I’m about to reply to the girl I just found pretty recently…” When he saw the scene under the table, he abruptly ended his complaint.
“What girl, you haven’t finished yet.” Gu Ruijia was annoyed when someone kept him waiting and he nudged at Sun Qiong. When the latter remained silent, he followed Sun Qiong in bending down to have a look. “What’s wrong, have you seen…”
Gu Ruijia too fell silent.
“Have you been bewitched?” Cheng Minghao found the two puzzling and threw away the dice he had on hand. Both he and Zhou Zhensheng peeked below the table too.
Cheng Minghao: “…”
Zhou Zhensheng: “…”
A strange scene emerged at the booth. Ye Fei and Yan Xiao were snuggled together in their own world while four men with bent backs were peering under the table with dead fish eyes.
Due to the loud music playing in the booth and the attention Yan Xiao and Ye Fei had on each other, the couple did not realize the activities had stopped.
A minute later, it was Cheng Minghao who came back to his senses first.
“I say,” he straightened up and drummed his fingers on the table, “You two, stop holding each other. Take pity on us single dogs, okay?”
Ye Fei raised his head to four matching pairs of jealous eyes. While stunned, Ye Fei did not feel embarrassed in the slightest. “Okay, then we’ll hold hands in the future when we can hide it.”
The other four: “…”
“Just play with us,” Gu Ruijia picked up the dice and rattled it, “You two will have plenty of time to get bored in the future.”
The words “Plenty of time” pleased Yan Xiao. He let go of Ye Fei and pushed the bottle of champagne on the table to Gu Ruijia.
Gu Ruijia: “…”
It appeared! The boss wanted to get him drunk again! This was too damn familiar!
At the end, it was Gu Ruijia’s celebratory party. Ye Fei finally joined the group, with Yan Xiao watching from the side as usual.
They did not think of playing truth or dare. After all, they have known each other for so many years; how would they not know each other’s darkest secrets? Instead, they picked a dice game with simple rules: the one with the highest points wins, with the winner getting to flick the forehead of the one with the lowest points.
“Come here, let me show you how lucky your father is.” Ye Fei rolled up his sleeves, picked up the dice and threw it on the table.
Ye Fei: “…”
Gu Ruijia roared with laughter. “Father, your luck is only one point.”
For the four of them, this was the perfect opportunity to get revenge after being force-fed dog food. They were all gearing up and eager to try, but in the end, Cheng Minghao was luckier and scored a six.
“Brother Fei,” he circled his thumb and middle finger with a sinister smile, put them to his mouth and blew at them, “I’m sorry.”
Ye Fei raised her face and mocked, “Come on, who is afraid of whom?”
Cheng Minghao glanced triumphantly at Yan Xiao next to him, and flicked Ye Fei hard on the forehead.
Even though Ye Fei had been prepared, he hissed in pain. Yan Xiao gazed at Cheng Minghao with no expression.
Cheng Minghao was fortified with alcohol, and no longer afraid of the sky and the earth. You think it’s fair for you to spread dog food but dare to glare at me for taking my small revenge? Seeing that Ye Fei did not pay attention, he quickly flicked his forehead twice.
Ye Fei’s skin was white and thin, and after the triple flick attack, it had turned red. Yan Xiao turned to survey him for a few seconds, before he stood up.
Cheng Minghao thought that Yan Xiao was going to punch him, and vigilantly brought his fist to his chest in alarm. In the end, Yan Xiao did not approach him. Instead, he bent down and picked up his phone from the sofa.
When the danger was averted, Cheng Minghao’s itchy mouth struck again. “What are you doing, Brother Xiao, are you taking pictures to identify the injuries?”
Gu Ruijia and the others could not hold back and erupted into cackling immediately.
“No,” Yan Xiao slowly replied as he clicked into WeChat and started typing, “I plan to inform the welfare and benefits department that your leave for the new year is to be canceled. ”
Cheng Minghao: “!!!”
Cheng Minghao sobered up instantly.
Thanks for the chapter. We finally got to see who harmed YF’s mom and himself in his past life. I hope he does not get to harm YF in this one.
Yup yup! Don’t worry, this is a HE~ Happy ending, everything will turn out well! 😚
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Someone is petty~ And it was YF’s father in the end… Scum ><
Thank You for the new chapter (•‾⌣‾•)و ̑̑♡
Such a good for nothing scumbag of a dad!! His way of thinking is way too backward too. You have one excellent son, one useless son. So what if the excellent son is gay?? He can flourish your company so much more then the dumbass ye yao could ever 🙄
The last part tho.. Rip cheng minghao 😂😂
Right? When Ye Fei was teasing Yan Xiao with his “and what’s mine is also mine,” I thought how his father would actually be very well off right now if he had agreed to something like that as easily as Yan Xiao did.
To him, the excellent son is someone else’s child and can’t even continue the bloodline. It’s him who is the most important lol… and he doesn’t want his blood to be ‘polluted’ by the first wife.😂
Also, being gay doesn’t mean you’re sterile =_= but apparently surrogacy is very frowned upon/taboo in China
Great chapter! All that angsty drama at the Ye home, then the wine cellar, and now all the fun at the party that even Yan Xiao is playing a part in!
Thanks for the chapter
Time to revenge poison his garbage dad.
Thank you for the chapter~♡
CMH – how silly are you??!! 😂😂😂
😁😁😁
Lol, courting death! 😂
I feel sad about Ye Fei’s last life, some parents are really just not worth the bother.
