Chapter Index

    As a highly authoritative psychologist both at home and abroad, Lin Yuran had never felt so discouraged. She had to admit her failure. She couldn’t cure Feng Yan. The man’s intelligence was too high, so high that he could deceive everyone, including her, if he so wished. He was willing to proactively tell her about his intense interest in someone because he considered her a friend he could confide in. But if she tried to stop him from getting that person, he would surely turn on her in an instant.

    Lin Yuran was very worried about the ‘toy’ he had set his sights on, but there was nothing she could do… No one could bear the consequences of defying him.

    “You don’t have to worry, Dr. Lin. I won’t kill him. I couldn’t bear to… To me, he’s more important than the rabbit was back then,” Feng Yan said softly, his smile hazy. That smile was beautiful, like a red spider lily blooming in hell, exuding a thick scent of death and decay.

    “That would be for the best… I’m afraid you’ll be too frantic and scare him off. Do you need me to prescribe some medication to help you calm down?” Lin Yuran asked, hesitating.

    She was afraid that in his madness, he would resort to forceful means and make an irreparable mistake.

    “No need. To me now, he is the best medicine. Thank you for listening to my thoughts.”

    Feng Yan stood up, in a cheerful mood. After their chat, he missed his little nouveau riche even more. What was he doing now? Could he be thinking of him too?

    Outside the consultation room, Li Yushu, who had come with him, saw them come out and hurriedly stood up.

    “How is Xiao Yan’s condition?”

    Lin Yuran coughed awkwardly. “Perhaps I’ll be receiving his wedding candy soon?” The implication was that her son had found someone he was determined to have, and she needed to keep an eye on him to prevent another tragedy.

    Li Yushu was at a loss for words, but she ultimately just smiled and nodded. She had guessed as much, which was why she had frantically pushed her son to come for psychological treatment. It was also why she had immediately accepted her son’s sexual orientation, even though same-sex marriage was not legal in the country. A maddened Feng Yan would frighten others, but he was her only son. His illness only made her heart ache for him.

    Inside the elevator, the mother and son were silent. Finally, Li Yushu broke the silence, “How are things… between you and that Bai family boy?”

    “Very good. It won’t be long before you’ll be drinking tea from your male daughter-in-law,” Feng Yan said with certainty, his thin lips curling up.

    “You brat, take it easy. Don’t scare him away,” Li Yushu said, patting his arm and repeatedly reminding him.

    “I’ll try?” he replied perfunctorily, licking his lips.

    He wanted to take it slow, but his little nouveau riche was too tempting, constantly challenging his self-control every time they met. He was no saint; he couldn’t remain unmoved in the face of temptation.

    Ding—

    The elevator reached the first floor and the doors opened. The mother and son inside came face to face with Shuang Yu, who was standing outside.

    Feng Yan’s smile grew even brighter. He was about to greet him when his face instantly turned grim. A cold glint flashed in his peach-blossom eyes as he stared intently at the middle-aged woman Shuang Yu was supporting.

    What kind of ill-fated relationship was this? Why did he have to run into them even at the hospital!

    Shuang Yu was extremely embarrassed and intended to turn around and walk away as if he hadn’t seen them. But Feng Yan gave him no chance to escape. He rushed forward in a single stride, slinging an arm around his shoulders in a feigned display of intimacy, and asked with a brilliant smile, “What a coincidence, Yu. Who is this? Aren’t you going to introduce us?”

    His voice was inexplicably sinister and terrifying. After saying this, Feng Yan leaned close to Shuang Yu’s ear and spoke through gritted teeth, “What, found your next meal ticket so quickly? I think there’s something wrong with your eyes. You passed up a peerless beauty like me for an old, ugly, and sick woman!”

    It was like he was whispering, but the volume was just loud enough for both women to hear. The atmosphere became incredibly awkward.

    “What nonsense are you spouting… I’m sorry, Auntie Chen. My friend speaks without a filter. Please don’t mind him.” Shuang Yu apologized awkwardly to the middle-aged woman.

    “Ahem… Is Mr. Bai not feeling well? Do you remember me? We’ve met once before. I’m Feng Yan’s mother.” Li Yushu wished she could smack her son with a hammer. She awkwardly greeted him to divert attention.

    “Hello, Mrs. Feng. I’m in perfect health, thank you for your concern. I’m here today to visit a friend. This is the mother of someone I know. I ran into her in the garden, and since I was heading the same way, I was planning to walk her back to her room.” Shuang Yu greeted her humbly and explained his relationship with the middle-aged woman.

    “I didn’t realize Yu was so warm-hearted, even helping the mother of an acquaintance… Mom, why don’t you get admitted to the hospital too? Yu is so kind, he’d surely be willing to take care of you.” Feng Yan narrowed his eyes dangerously, sizing up his mother as if considering whether to break her arm or her leg to get her hospitalized so Shuang Yu would have to care for her.

    Feeling a chill run down her spine from her son’s overly dangerous gaze, Li Yushu kicked him, signaling him not to go too far. Breaking your old mom’s leg just to chase a boy, is your name Shameless or something?!

    “You loose-tongued brat… It’s rare for you to meet a good friend, so go have fun with him. I’ll head back first. Bring him over to the house to play when you have time.” Li Yushu didn’t dare obstruct her son’s wife-chasing plans; retreat was the best strategy. She was afraid if she was a step too slow, her son would break her leg!

    “Since the auntie isn’t feeling well, she shouldn’t walk. It will tire her out, and tire out my Yu as well.” Feng Yan’s expression was indifferent as he glanced at the sallow-faced, wrinkled middle-aged woman, his tone filled with imperious disdain.

    Intimidated by his powerful aura, the woman’s face paled as she stammered, “Th-that… Young Master Bai, if you’re busy, please go ahead. I-I can get back on my own.”

    “I’m not busy, Auntie Chen. It’s on the same floor anyway, let’s go up together.” Shuang Yu helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose and shot Feng Yan a warning look, signaling him not to ruin his plans.

    But Feng Yan was unmoved. He hated how Shuang Yu always gave him a cold look but smiled at others. Raising a hand to summon a nurse, he ordered directly, “Go get a wheelchair and push her.”

    He stood like a roadblock in front of the elevator, forcefully holding onto Shuang Yu to prevent him from leaving. Left with no choice, Shuang Yu had to compromise. Soon, a young nurse came over with a brand-new wheelchair, and Chen Dongyun was forced to sit in it. Just as the nurse was settling her in, Feng Yan suddenly pulled Shuang Yu into the elevator.

    “You two take another way.”

    As the command was given, the elevator doors closed. At the same time, Feng Yan violently pushed Shuang Yu’s hands above his head, pinning them with one hand while the other braced against the wall by his ear, striking a handsome wall slam pose.

    Shuang Yu was trapped between his body and the wall, unable to move. This damn height difference. Shuang Yu’s heart seethed with hatred. The original host’s height was similar to his, around 182 centimeters. But the man before him was at least 188 centimeters tall. This awkward position forced him to look up at him!

    “What kind of crazy stunt are you pulling now!”

    “Who is she!”

    They both spoke at the same time, their voices full of accusation.

    “What’s it to you…” Shuang Yu’s eyes filled with disgust.

    Before he could finish, Feng Yan suddenly lowered his head and kissed him fiercely as a punishment. His handsome peach-blossom eyes were filled with a raging storm, so ferocious it was as if he wanted to devour him whole.
