Chapter 041 “Want to eat meat” (03/12)
Not long after, a guard’s voice rang out from outside the door, “My lord.”
Xie Chenyang: “What is it?”
“All of the Liu family’s properties have been confiscated, and Her Excellency has set up a private storehouse for Your Lordship. Do you wish to take a look at it?”
Xie Chenyang opened the door to the room. The guard lowered her head and handed over a set of keys. “This is the key to Lord Yu’s personal storehouse.”
Xie Chenyang reached out and took the keys. “Where is your lady?”
“Her ladyship is at the medical officer’s place.”
Taking the keys back to his room, Xie Chenyang was puzzled: [What did he go to the medical center for? Is he sick?]
You Huang, who had just returned: “I think it’s because of the injuries on your back.”
[I want to eat meat.]
You Huang: “Didn’t you just eat it?” The skin on your mouth is broken.
[That’s just scraps of meat, not enough. I think intimacy can be addictive; my lover and I are old husbands for a few lifetimes, but it always feels like it’s not enough.]
Xie Chenyang collapsed on the bed and closed his eyes. “Ah~ I don’t believe he won’t come looking for me.”
You Huang: “……” Went crazy.

Currently, Fan Wenze had already left the medical officer’s place and had arrived at his study.
He sat in front of his desk and took up a brush, but was unable to write for a long time.
His eyes moved to the medicine bottle next to him, and after gazing at it, elegant characters appeared on the paper one after another.
Once he finished writing, he folded the paper into an envelope and tucked the bottle in his pocket. Walking out, he handed the letter to the guards he had brought with him from the Yao Kingdom. “Deliver this letter to my mother as fast as you can.”

When the sun set in the west, Fan Wenze finally appeared at Xie Chenyang’s wide open door.
Xie Chenyang flopped down on his pillow and stared at him with sulky eyes. “You finally bothered to come and see me.”
The tone was comparable to that of a disgruntled wife.
Fan Wenze took out the medicine bottle from his pocket. “This is the medicine I obtained from the medical officer. Take it daily before going to bed and apply it; the injuries on your back will soon be fine.”
Xie Chenyang did not take it and instead stated, “I’m hungry.”
“The kitchen has already prepared dinner.” Fan Wenze placed the medicine bottle on the bedside. “Get up.”
Xie Chenyang reached out. “I’m a bit tired, Ah-Ze, you pull me, ah.”
Fan Wenze gripped his hand. Xie Chenyang followed the momentum and got up, taking the opportunity to lean over and kiss him again. “I heard your guards calling me Lord earlier.”
Fan Wenze softly replied, “Since you have made a decision, then I will marry you; it’s just that …… we won’t be able to have children.”
“What children?” Xie Chenyang clasped his hand. “We have each other and that’s enough.”
If you want to have a child, you’ll have to wait until we return to the original world.
Fan Wenze’s eyes deepened slightly at his words, and he didn’t move to take his hand back. “Good.”
The dinner at the government office was hearty, and Xie Chenyang ate with great satisfaction.
Outside, two guards stood on the left and right.
One of them, Yan Yan, whispered, “Did you see? The lord’s mouth.”
The one next to her, Yan Yu, frowned. “Stare less at the lord.”
Yan Yan: “I can’t just keep looking over. I can see it, the lord’s mouth is all chewed up; Her Excellency is so rough.”
Yan Yu: “Didn’t I say to talk less?”
Yan Yan scowled. “It’s only the lord. He won’t be bothered by us.”
Yan Yu: “……”
Yan Yan: “But the lord still has injuries on his body, right? Isn’t the lady too ……”
“I don’t mind, oh~”
Xie Chenyang had just walked out with Fan Wenze, when he happened to hear them and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “As long as my lady wants it, I’ll give it to her even if I’m crippled, hahaha!”
Yan Yan dropped to one knee and said in fear, “My lord, I–”
Yan Yu also knelt down. “My lady, my lord, Yan Yan was unwitting, she did not mean to offend.”
“Don’t panic, don’t panic, the lady won’t hold it against you.” Xie Chenyang poked Fan Wenze’s waist. “Right, My lady.”
Fan Wenze grabbed his mischievous hand. “Let’s go back to your room.”
“Hmm~”
After they left, Yan Yan and Yan Yu raised their heads and stared at each other in disbelief.
Yan Yu swallowed her saliva and stood up. “You were right, but with the Lord’s…favor like this, even the lady won’t be able to help herself, right?”
Yan Yan: “Did you just call him slutty? You mean slutty, right?”
—–
While they were eating, Xie Chenyang’s room had been transformed.
The cabinet was filled with new clothes and a dresser was set up with a wide variety of jewelry and accessories.
Xie Chenyang looked at the newly changed red bed sheets and brocade quilt, teasingly saying, “Does your lordship want to marry me tonight?”
Fan Wenze’s eyes shifted to the mandarin duck bed sheets. “It’s not something I ordered; they probably misunderstood what I meant.”
The guards who arranged this: Didn’t you say to get all the necessary supplies for the lord? The lord has everything, but you still don’t have a wedding ceremony?
“Oh? Your lordship doesn’t want to have a wedding night with me?”
Xie Chenyang tugged at his lapel, revealing his good-looking collarbone.
Fan Wenze raised his gaze upwards and looked at his face. “I have already sent a letter to my family, stating our business. When I’ve handled the affairs of Lanzhou City, are you willing to go back to Yao Kingdom with me?”
Xie Chenyang pulled his robe down further. “Yes.”
The corner of Fan Wenze’s eye twitched, and with a cold face, he went forward to gather his robe back up. “When we return to the Yao Kingdom, we will then organize our wedding. It’s inappropriate for you to not have a junior attendant. I’ve had someone go and buy two junior attendants, so don’t refuse.”
“…… Alright.” Xie Chenyang was somewhat disheartened.
[He has changed–I’m like this and he is still not touching me.]
You Huang pertinently remarked, “Is it because you’re shorter than him?”
[????]
[Although I’m shorter, he certainly cannot beat me in a fight.]
You Huang: “……” I thought he had changed; the result is still only thinking about fighting all day.
Fan Wenze told someone to buy a young attendant beforehand. Seeing that he consented, he then said, “Then I have them come to meet you?”
Xie Chenyang: “There’s no rush.”
Xie Chenyang reached out and picked up Fan Wenze in his arms.
Without any defense Fan Wenze subconsciously reached out and wrapped his arms around Xie Chenyang’s neck, his legs encircling his waist.
Xie Chenyang grinned. “Ah-Ze, I’m strong, yes?”
Fan Wenze looked confused.
You Huang: “…… Are you a child or something?”
Xie Chenyang slightly raised his chin. “Ah-Ze, lower your head.”
You Huang: “……” Crap, his voice, damn seductive.
Fan Wenze’s heart fluttered and obediently bowed his head, his lips pressed against the other.
After the kiss ended, Xie Chenyang placed Fan Wenze on the bed, slightly panting. “Ah-Ze won’t sleep in a separate room from me, right?”
What room next door, might as well just have one room.
Fan Wenze grabbed his sleeve and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. “Not allowed.”
Xie Chenyang huffed. “After all this, it’s still not allowed?”
He stood up fiercely and abruptly stiffened.
[I …… my back ……]
You Huang: “I told you earlier to take it easy. This body is originally weak; you might have the will, but you do not have the strength. You have to properly cultivate.”
Fan Wenze’s hand fell because of his movement and calmly withdrew. “We have known each other for less than a day.”
He didn’t know if Xie Chenyang was desperate to get out of his predicament or if he was genuinely using his body because he wanted to reciprocate his favor.
In this world, it was not easy for a man to survive alone.
He no longer had any family; his mother was a former governor and had already remarried, so his status was awkward.
But …… the way he looked at him, it was genuinely deep love.
The first time you meet …… will not have such strong emotion, right?
Xie Chenyang did not know that his eagerness to act had already made his lover suspicious; he only wanted to stabilize his new identity.
With a dark face, he proceeded to slump straight onto the bed, pretending to be angry. “Since your lordship is unwilling to get married tonight, it’s almost dark, so please leave.”
Fan Wenze frowned slightly. “You’re angry?”
“Leave quickly,” Xie Chenyang said in a deep voice. “If you don’t, I don’t care if you’re willing or not, I’ll directly pull you into bed.”
When Fan Wenze thought of Xie Chenyang holding him for nearly a quarter of an hour and kissing him while sweating a bit, he could clearly see his strength. Moreover, Xie Chenyang’s back was injured. If he really wanted to use force, he was afraid that his hands and feet would be tied up, and he would really be able to get away with it.
Fan Wenze stood up and said softly, “I’ll have someone bring over those two junior attendants.”
Xie Chenyang clenched his teeth and did not say anything.
Fan Wenze frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment before leaving.
As soon as he left, Xie Chenyang couldn’t hold it back and gasped a few times: [Mother save me!]
You Huang: “Don’t remember?”
[Daddy help me!]
You Huang was quite bemused: “You are so capable of bending; your mom and dad come with empty talk?”
[I am an orphan. Having met you, do you not treat me like a son? You’re even the matchmaker between me and my lover. From today onwards, you’re both my parents!]
“Drop the Mother title.”
[Okay, Father, don’t say anything else. Quickly save me! I’m so uncomfortable, ah!]
You Huang pressed the back of Xie Chenyang’s head with one hand, kneaded his back with other, and fell into a deep contemplation.
This …… really felt like an old father taking care of his unintelligent son.
When Xie Chenyang relaxed, You Huang returned to the space and poked the group leader.
You Huang: [Group leader, is my host an orphan?]
Team Leader: [Why do you care if he’s an orphan or not?]
You Huang: [He said he is an orphan]
Team Leader: [What’s wrong with you? An old system, and still you do not know? Their memories are false. Whatever they say is their truth]
You Huang: [Then he is an orphan.]
Team Leader only answered back after a long time: [Yes, but he has a Master.]
You Huang politely said his thanks.
Thinking to himself, after bringing so many hosts, there has not been any host who wants to recognize him as a father.
Is it possible to have a host son ……?
——
After Fan Wenze left, he had his people bring the young attendants he had bought over, and instead of returning to his room, he stood in the courtyard with a frown on his face.
The few personal guards he brought from the Yao Kingdom were all surnamed Yan.
At this moment, those who were escorting him were none other than Yan Yan and Yan Yu.
Yan Yan had always been bold, and seeing Fan Wenze appearing stuck in thought, she walked up to him. “Is there something troubling you, my lady?”
Fan Wenze: “You go and check ……”
“Check what? Check on the lord?” Yan Yan instantly caught on to the point.
This thought had flashed across Fan Winze’s mind.
Fan Winze paused. “That’s–Don’t check on him.” Just …… believe him for once.
Although there were many mysteries, perhaps…Xie Chenyang really fell in love with him at first sight and had to be with him?
Didn’t he also bring someone home the first time they met, indulged in his nonsense, and …… kissed him?
Yan Yan: “……”
—-
The two young male attendants had already arrived outside Xie Chenyang’s door at this time, good-looking and cute, looking only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Xie Chenyang looked at them; for a moment, he didn’t know what he would need these two children for.
“What are your names?”
“My name is Shen Shu.”
“My name is Zhao Xiaofeng.”
The guard who brought them here said, “If the lord doesn’t like the names, he can give them new names.”
Xie Chenyang waved his hand. “No, just use their original names.”
The guard handed him the body deeds of the two junior attendants. “They will be Lord Yu’s personal attendants from now on, so Lord Yu can teach them as you like.”
Xie Chenyang took the body deeds and tsked lightly.
Teach.
These words carried a lot of weight.
After the guard left, Shen Shu inquired first, “It’s almost dark. Does Lord Yu wish to bathe? Then I will ask the kitchen to boil water.”
“Go.”
After Shen Shu left, Zhao Xiaofeng was left behind. He was a bit overwhelmed. “My lord, I–Do you need me to do anything?”
Xie Chenyang shook his head. “Go play by yourself. Don’t leave the courtyard. I’ll call you if there’s anything.”
This courtyard belonged to Fan Wenze’s residence; almost all of those inside were his personal guards. The rest were also well-protected. Nothing would happen to those two children here.
With them running around outside, who knew if they would encounter any gods or ghosts.
“Okay, my lord.”
Seeing Zhao Xiaofeng turn around, Xie Chenyang suddenly said, “Wait.”
“My lord?”
“Go find the lady and tell her that I have something important to tell her.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Xie Chenyang looked at Zhao Xiaofeng’s back as he left and harrumphed.
You want to wait until we’ve gone back to Yao Country and organized the wedding before eating meat? Dream on!
