Bai Yanfei was still flustered. His grandmother said he was too nervous and told him to relax. But he felt things weren't that simple, so to avoid worrying his grandmother, he started to hypnotize himself.
But when the night was deep and quiet, he could never fall asleep, tossing and turning. Ling Zeyu, who was next to him, had already fallen asleep due to overexertion, but he had been unable to fall back asleep since waking up in the middle of the night.
He didn't fall asleep until almost dawn. When Ling Zeyu was getting ready to go to work, he saw that Bai Yanfei was still asleep. He didn't wake Bai Yanfei. He had been feeling a bit resentful these past few days, and he hadn't made things easy for Bai Yanfei every night.
No one can stand such torment, especially since he is still young and vigorous. When his desires are aroused, he won't soften no matter how much Bai Yanfei cries.
Bai Yanfei woke up in the afternoon. He had been too tired lately. Ling Zeyu kept calling Xiaofei's name in bed. Ling Zeyu stopped calling "Xiaofei" and started calling "Bai Yifei". He couldn't even deceive himself.
Even though he knew that Ling Zeyu didn't have feelings for him, his heart still ached uncontrollably.
Su Kai had been asking him out these past few days, with Wen Xiuyuan always by his side. Bai Yanfei didn't know what had happened between them, but things seemed to be going smoothly, so he felt relieved.
This afternoon was the day they went to try on clothes. Bai Yanfei washed up, dressed, and had the driver take her there.
When he arrived, he was alone. Su Kai and Wen Xiuyuan were both groomsmen. He waited outside the fitting room for half an hour, but Ling Zeyu did not arrive.
Su Kai frowned. He and Wen Xiuyuan came to try on their best man outfits today. Originally, he didn't want to agree to be a best man, but Bai Yanfei had no one else but him, and he couldn't bear to see Bai Yanfei suffer such grievances, so he agreed.
Unexpectedly, Wen Xiuyuan also came to join in the fun, so the two of them became best men.
"Go and contact Ling Zeyu. Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Su Kai couldn't bear to see Bai Yanfei continue waiting so foolishly, so he pulled Wen Xiuyuan outside and urged him to contact Ling Zeyu.
"So you're already using me? I'll definitely ask for payment."
Wen Xiuyuan brought his cheek closer to Su Kai, and Su Kai impatiently kissed Wen Xiuyuan on the cheek.
"Okay, hurry up and make the call."
"What's the rush? How could I possibly be satisfied with just a kiss on the cheek?"
Wen Xiuyuan wrapped his arms around Su Kai's neck, kissed him, licked his lips, and then made a phone call to Ling Zeyu.
"Where are you? When are you coming? Did you forget you still need to try on clothes?"
"It's tailor-made, no need to try it on, I'm not going."
After saying that, Ling Zeyu slammed the phone down. Wen Xiuyuan shrugged helplessly: "See? Whether you make this call or not, the outcome will be the same."
"Does he expect Xiaoyan to try on clothes all by herself? Is Ling Zeyu even human?"
"Honey, be careful later. If you show any sign of liking Bai Yanfei in front of me, I'll get jealous."
Wen Xiuyuan touched Su Kai's face, his fingers brushing across Su Kai's carotid artery: "If you don't want to lose even the friendship with Bai Yanfei, I hope you will cooperate with me."
"You... shameless!"
"How could I have fallen for you if I wasn't shameless?" Wen Xiuyuan said nonchalantly, putting away his phone. "Let's go try on some clothes. I'm quite looking forward to seeing you in a suit."
"snort."
Su Kai didn't know how to bring up Ling Zeyu's absence to Bai Yanfei, but Wen Xiuyuan was more direct. He didn't have as many concerns as Su Kai, nor did he care about Bai Yanfei's feelings.
He never paid much attention to people who were not related to him, so he spoke calmly.
"Zeyu is busy, he's not coming."
Chapter 50 Going Through Fire and Water
Bai Yanfei seemed to have anticipated that Ling Zeyu wouldn't come. He picked out a suit himself, which was all custom-made and fit perfectly. However, he was worried that their figures might change in the short term, so he came to try it on.
After he went in, he changed into a white suit, which was a bit loose around the waist and needed to be altered.
He actually lost weight, which Bai Yanfei found unbelievable. These past few days, Aunt Wang had been cooking delicious food for him, and he had eaten it all because Ling Zeyu complained that he was too thin. He didn't expect that he would still lose weight.
There were three suits in total, and Bai Yanfei tried them all on. Apart from the waist not fitting properly, there was nothing else that needed to be altered.
Wen Xiuyuan urged Su Kai to change his clothes, and when he saw Su Kai in a suit and tie, Wen Xiuyuan whistled in a roguish manner.
“I didn’t expect you to look so respectable in a suit. Next time…” Wen Xiuyuan whispered in Su Kai’s ear, “Next time you wear a suit, let’s try it on.”
"Dream on." Su Kai hates wearing restrictive clothing; he prefers loose, baggy clothes that are comfortable to wear.
"Go try on the other black one, that one looks good too." Wen Xiuyuan handed Su Kai another suit, eagerly anticipating his suit-wearing session with Su Kai.
After changing his clothes, Bai Yanfei discussed the size of the clothes with his employees, as the size of the clothes had to be altered.
Faced with the tailor's accusations, Bai Yanfei had nothing to say.
"How did you lose weight in just a few days? Other people gain weight and need to alter their clothes, but you lose weight and need to alter your clothes."
"Feel sorry."
Bai Yanfei really didn't know what to say. He had a bad stomach, didn't gain weight easily, didn't eat much, and had poor digestion. Lately, he hadn't been sleeping well and often suffered from insomnia, which had caused him to lose a lot of weight.
Wen Xiuyuan was still teasing Su Kai over there. After Su Kai changed, he felt that the clothes fit him well, so he didn't try on any more.
"I'll go check on Xiaoyan. He's lost weight again recently. Is Ling Zeyu abusing him?"
"You want to know? We're going to Zeyu's house for a free meal later, then you'll see what kind of life Bai Yanfei lives."
Su Kai thought Wen Xiuyuan's suggestion was good, and he nodded: "Okay."
"But I have conditions. I don't do business at a loss, you understand?"
Wen Xiuyuan smiled maliciously, and Su Kai stared at him intently before finally nodding.
He understood perfectly what Wen Xiuyuan meant, and his anger and hatred dissipated because of Bai Yanfei.
Now only Wen Xiuyuan can help him, and only Wen Xiuyuan can let him get close to Ling Zeyu. He desperately wants to know what kind of life Bai Yanfei is living.
Bai Yanfei was completely lost and dejected the whole way, but Wen Xiuyuan still insisted on showing affection in front of him. Su Kai looked very unwilling, and when Wen Xiuyuan tried to kiss him, Su Kai pushed him away.
"Wen Xiuyuan! That's enough!"
Wen Xiuyuan's eyes instantly darkened, and he stared straight at Su Kai.
"We'll talk about what to do when we get back. I'm not used to being intimate with you in public."
After saying this, Su Kai turned around and glanced at Bai Yanfei, who still looked lost and listless, as if he hadn't seen what they were doing.
Bai Yanfei locked himself up, isolating himself from the outside world. Only Ling Zeyu could ignite his passion for life.
The driver took them to the villa, and Ling Zeyu narrowed his eyes when he saw Su Kai.
"Why did you bring him along?" Ling Zeyu looked at his friend with displeasure.
Wen Xiuyuan put his hand on Su Kai's shoulder, and the two acted intimately.
"I brought my boyfriend over for a free meal at your place, what, that's not allowed? Then I'll leave?"
Ling Zeyu remained silent for a while.
"Come in."
"Is the company very busy lately?" Bai Yanfei forced a smile; he wouldn't let himself look miserable in front of Ling Zeyu.
"We're making prototypes based on your design drawings. We'll launch a few sets of products to see how they perform."
Upon hearing that Ling Zeyu was doing this for him, Bai Yanfei's previous gloom vanished.
"My design? The company adopted it?"
"Otherwise? You think the competition is just for show?" Ling Zeyu looked at Bai Yanfei's gaunt face, but ultimately didn't say anything harsh.
"Ling's competitions have always been fair and just, and I will not abandon my principles for personal reasons."
Hearing Ling Zeyu say that, Bai Yanfei felt as sweet as if she had been coated with honey.
In other words, Ling Zeyu approved of his manuscript, which is why he won first place.
Seeing Bai Yanfei cheer up after just a few words from Ling Zeyu, Su Kai suddenly realized that he had underestimated Bai Yanfei's feelings for Ling Zeyu.
"See? Bai Yanfei could never have you in his heart. Zeyu could make him go through fire and water with just one word."
Wen Xiuyuan breathed intimately into Su Kai's ear.
Chapter 51 I Want to Marry Him
Su Kai regretted coming to this dinner.
He also realized that Bai Yanfei's feelings for Ling Zeyu were not something he could interfere with with a few words.
Seeing Su Kai's expression, Wen Xiuyuan left the Ling family with his men, satisfied.
"I've already told you, Bai Yanfei is not someone you can have. You might as well think about our future together."
Wen Xiuyuan gently stroked Su Kai's nose, an ordinary gesture that Su Kai found nauseating.
"You promised me you wouldn't tell him I like Xiaoyan."
"yes."
"Then don't use that to threaten me anymore."
Wen Xiuyuan paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, I promise you."
"But now, have you given up?"
Wen Xiuyuan moved closer to Su Kai, his beautiful face right in front of Su Kai, but Su Kai was no longer amazed by such a stunning appearance.
Beneath that face lies a filthy heart.
"When will you fulfill your promise to me?" Wen Xiuyuan asked ambiguously, lifting Su Kai's chin.
"what ever."
"I have no interest in dead fish. We'll keep your promise when you're full of energy again."
...
Bai Yanfei was thinking that his manuscript could be turned into a work of art. He still remembered the red jade that Su Kai had given him as a birthday gift. If it could be inlaid in his work, it would be a collectible treasure.
With the wedding day drawing ever closer, Ling Zeyu didn't bother Bai Yanfei the night before. Afraid of having insomnia, Bai Yanfei took two sleeping pills.
He had to get up early the next day, so he set his alarm and looked forward to the wedding.
The media will be there to broadcast their grand wedding live. Grandma will also be there to see his happy smile.
Bai Yanfei fell asleep while having a sweet dream.
Ling Zeyu, however, couldn't sleep all night. He turned over, and even though Bai Yanfei was asleep, she had a sweet smile on her face.
