Chapter 50: Teasing Him
Lin Yuan sensed that he wouldn’t be able to escape the man’s clutches again tonight. His expression darkened slightly.
Shen Yanzhou gave a light laugh and stopped teasing him. He patted his own lap. “Sit here.”
Lin Yuan sat on his lap.
Shen Yanzhou used a small spoon to scoop up some medicine, blew on it gently, and tested the temperature slightly with his lips before feeding it into Lin Yuan’s mouth.
“It’s bitter to death!” Lin Yuan shouted after swallowing a mouthful.
Shen Yanzhou quickly stuffed a piece of unwrapped chocolate into his mouth. Only then did Lin Yuan stop shouting. His small mouth was pressed shut tightly, accelerating the melting of the chocolate.
Shen Yanzhou looked at the half bowl of medicine remaining and felt a bit worried. “Baby, if we eat it this way, I’m afraid your body won’t even be recovered before your blood sugar hits the roof.”
Lin Yuan swallowed the chocolate in his mouth. “But it really is so bitter!” He looked at the man piteously.
“How about this? Drink one mouthful and eat half a piece of chocolate?” Shen Yanzhou suggested.
Lin Yuan shook his head. “No! Half a piece won’t cure the bitterness!”
Looking at his childlike, coquettish appearance, Shen Yanzhou’s heart softened completely. Unable to do anything with him, he said again, “Then how about you drink this whole bowl in one go, and then you can have two pieces of chocolate. Will that work?”
Lin Yuan thought about it with a frown, then nodded and reluctantly agreed.
Shen Yanzhou broke into a smile. He unwrapped two more chocolates and then picked up the small bowl. “Come, Brother will feed you.”
Lin Yuan pinched his nose and leaned toward the bowl. His handsome brows were tightly knit. He closed his eyes, steeled his heart, and drank the remaining half bowl of medicine in one go.
Shen Yanzhou quickly held the chocolate to his lips. Lin Yuan stuffed both pieces of chocolate into his mouth, one on each side. His small face instantly became round and bulging.
Shen Yanzhou laughed. He kissed both of the bulging cheeks. So cute! His eyes shimmered, and his gaze was fixed on the boy’s face, unable to look away.
“Baby, you have to brush your teeth after eating chocolate, or you’ll get cavities,” he said softly.
While chewing, Lin Yuan nodded.
“Alright, go brush your teeth and take a bath!” Shen Yanzhou let him off his lap. “Shall Brother help you wash?”
Lin Yuan shook his head. “I’ll wash by myself.”
Shen Yanzhou didn’t insist. He lowered his eyes slightly and added, “Mm, avoid the wounds.”
“Mm,” Lin Yuan answered and walked toward the bathroom.
When Lin Yuan came out of the bathroom, as usual, he had his bathrobe wrapped tightly around him. By this time, Shen Yanzhou had already bathed in the bathroom of the adjacent room and was leaning against the headboard.
His lower body was wrapped in a white bath towel, and his sturdy upper body was shamelessly exposed.
Lin Yuan’s gaze uncontrollably fell upon him. The light-honey-colored, firm, and well-proportioned muscles were a perfect combination of strength and beauty. They showcased an ultimate temptation, making his vision blur.
The man had an unlit pure black cigarette between his lips, and his head was tilted slightly. In his sharp amber eyes, there was a swirl of wicked, restless, and flirtatious amusement. He stared at him with that faint smirk, his seemingly casual gaze actually piercing through to the bone.
Lin Yuan felt intimidated, and his footsteps involuntarily slowed.
“Come here,” Shen Yanzhou commanded softly.
Lin Yuan’s small hand instinctively tugged at his collar again. He dragged his feet to the bedside.
Shen Yanzhou reached out and pulled the boy toward him with a forceful movement. Lin Yuan lost his balance and almost fell onto the bed, but he was immediately caught by Shen Yanzhou’s strong and powerful arm and pulled into his embrace.
“Why are you always so clumsy?” Lin Yuan, who had been startled, complained in a low voice.
Shen Yanzhou laughed. “Little thing, you’re even starting to badmouth Brother? You have some nerve!” As he spoke, he gave the flushed small face a gentle kiss.
Lin Yuan obediently let him hold him. He felt that his embrace was very comfortable. He felt that if the man weren’t a cold-blooded and emotionally unstable madman, being held by him would actually be a very wonderful thing.
“Ge, I’m sleepy. Goodnight!” he said cautiously. His heart was a bit apprehensive. When feeding him medicine earlier, the man said he wanted to “eat” him. He prayed that he had already forgotten and would let him off tonight.
Shen Yanzhou gave a muffled hum. “Sleeping so early?”
Lin Yuan: “!” His heart tightened!
“I’m a bit tired, and… maybe because of the medicine, my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable.” He told a lie, hoping to get away with it.
Hearing this, Shen Yanzhou became nervous. “Hmm? Your stomach is uncomfortable? Should I call the family doctor over to have a look?”
Lin Yuan quickly shook his head. “No, no need. I… I’ll be fine after I sleep. When sleeping, the gastric mucosa will automatically repair itself!”
Shen Yanzhou stared into his clear dark eyes and easily read his little scheme. He gave a light laugh. This little thing really has a strong desire for survival!
“Mm. That’s good. But did you forget what I said earlier?” Shen Yanzhou became slightly serious, intentionally teasing him.
Lin Yuan’s face fell a little. Holding onto one last shred of hope, he asked, “Wh-what words?”
“I said, I’m not full yet.”
Lin Yuan’s brow furrowed instantly, and the words in his heart blurted out, “You still haven’t forgotten?”
Shen Yanzhou: “…”
Lin Yuan resigned himself to fate and lowered his small head. He became dejected and didn’t make a sound.
Shen Yanzhou burst into laughter. He gently tilted his chin up, forcing him to look directly at him. “How could I forget? Little dummy!”
His voice softened. “Actually, I was intentionally teasing you. Your body needs rest; Brother can’t bear to touch you, understand?”
Lin Yuan looked into those beautiful amber eyes, a look of doubt in his gaze. He was being so gentle right now. Was he such a gentle person? If only he could always be like this!
Lin Yuan nodded gently and answered in a small voice, “Mm, I understand.”
“Say it, is Brother good?” He held him tightly, lowering his head to gently rub his nose against his.
“Mm. Good.”
Shen Yanzhou observed the expression on his small face carefully, making sure he wasn’t speaking against his heart. He gave a relaxed smile. “I’ll save up for these few days. Once you’re fully recovered, you aren’t allowed to miss even once; you have to pay me back everything.”
Lin Yuan’s face was crimson, and he pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Shen Yanzhou placed him carefully on the bed and held him gently. “Goodnight, Baby!”
On the next morning, as soon as Shen Yanzhou arrived at the company, special assistant Yue Ping walked in.
“President Shen, I have something to report. Please look at this first.” As he spoke, he handed a document to Shen Yanzhou with both hands.
Shen Yanzhou sat in his executive chair, opened the document, and scanned it briefly. “Mm, that restless little uncle of mine wants to stir things up again?”
Yue Ping nodded. “This Secretary Zhao has been with the company for two or three years. He was always quite steady before; I didn’t think he would be turned by your uncle.”
Shen Yanzhou turned to the next page. “He was pulled into the water by Shen Juan because his wife is sick and they have no money for treatment?”
Yue Ping: “Yes. Starting from two months ago, your uncle has been depositing five hundred thousand into his account every month.”
Shen Yanzhou closed the file, his long fingers tapping lightly on the mahogany desk. He narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.
“President Shen, should we handle him like the others who bit the hand that fed them?” Yue Ping asked.
Shen Yanzhou waved his hand. “No.”
“First Hospital, right? He goes there every night to keep watch? Accompany me there after work today; I’ll have a talk with him there.”
Yue Ping was a bit confused. This didn’t seem like his master’s usual style. Before, when they caught spies planted by Shen Juan, Old Master Shen, or other groups, Shen Yanzhou would destroy them without a word. Why was he being so conciliatory today?
