[Side CP Extra] Their Second Life (End)
Just getting rid of Chen Muyuan wasn’t enough. There were too many illegitimate children in the Chen family. If he didn’t eliminate future trouble quickly, there would be a next “Chen Muyuan.”
So he used his power to force Father Chen to drive all the illegitimate children to District H, never to return. If Father Chen dared to have private contact with them, he would leave Father Chen with nothing.
Father Chen had always been selfish and indifferent to family affection. After Xiang Wanxing threatened him, he drove all the illegitimate children to District H without a second thought.
Xiang Wanxing thought he had handled it well enough, but he didn’t expect Chen Zirui to notice something was wrong.
He used to think Chen Zirui was easy to fool, even worrying about his low IQ. But now it seemed Chen Zirui understood everything, only willing to be fooled by him.
After the news of Chen Muyuan’s murder was released, Chen Zirui hinted at it several times in front of him, trying to get information out of him.
Xiang Wanxing didn’t intend to lie to Chen Zirui intentionally, but the fewer people knew about this kind of thing, the less trouble it would bring.
He wasn’t fully confident he could keep it hidden. To prevent Chen Zirui from being implicated, he could only choose not to tell Chen Zirui the truth.
Of course, he was prepared for exposure. He contacted a lawyer to draw up a property agreement.
If something happened to him, this agreement would take effect immediately, transferring 80% of his pre-marital assets to Chen Zirui.
If they were married by then, there would also be a divorce agreement.
Xiang Wanxing wasn’t sure if Chen Zirui truly loved him. From the time they met until now, every progress was won by Xiang Wanxing using money.
He knew Chen Zirui followed him only to live a good life.
He didn’t blame Chen Zirui for having ulterior motives; it was all his own choice.
So if something really happened to him, he was willing to let Chen Zirui go.
Every time he thought of this, Xiang Wanxing rejoiced that they hadn’t marked yet.
He was afraid of becoming a puppet of pheromones, and also afraid that Chen Zirui, out of a sense of responsibility, wouldn’t divorce him even if something happened to him one day.
On Xiang Wanxing’s birthday, Chen Zirui drank a bit too much.
It was just the two of them in the villa. Seeing a flush already appearing on his cheeks, Xiang Wanxing took the wine glass away, went to the bathroom to fill the bathtub with hot water, intending to bathe Chen Zirui personally.
When he finished adjusting the water temperature and walked out of the bathroom, Chen Zirui was no longer in the living room.
Xiang Wanxing had to search room by room, finally finding Chen Zirui in the cloakroom.
A suitcase was on the floor, and Chen Zirui sat on the ground, packing clothes into it.
Xiang Wanxing frowned, walked up, and pulled him up.
“Chen Zirui, why are you packing clothes in the middle of the night?”
Chen Zirui looked up at him, breaking his arm free from his palm.
“Xiang Wanxing, don’t worry about so much. You hurry up and pack too.”
Xiang Wanxing was stunned, asking in confusion, “Why pack luggage?”
“I heard District H is the safest. Let’s flee there.”
Xiang Wanxing became more confused the more he listened. He simply pulled the person into his arms and asked patiently, “Everything is fine, why do we have to flee?”
Chen Zirui bit his lip. After a long while, he said slowly, “Xiang Wanxing, I know what you did. Although Brother Gu told me to believe you, I can’t sit and wait for death. Let’s run away. Anyway, Xialin went abroad, and I have no other relatives; it doesn’t matter if I never come back.”
Xiang Wanxing finally understood the meaning in his words. His expression became complicated. After a long time, he heard his own voice, somewhat choked.
“District H is very poor. Are you not afraid of suffering hardship?”
“Not afraid.” Chen Zirui answered without thinking, “It’s not like I haven’t suffered before. Did you think I forgot my roots just because I have money?”
“But once I leave District B and lose the identity of the Xiang family head, I am nothing.” Xiang Wanxing faced his own nature frankly for the first time, his smile bitter. “I am an Omega that anyone can bully; I can’t protect you at all.”
“I can protect you.” Chen Zirui patted his chest, vowing solemnly, “Don’t forget, I have been in the military. I’m not tall, but I’m good at fighting. I was even a school bully when I was studying.”
Xiang Wanxing’s eyes felt sore. He rubbed his head. “But I won’t know how to make money if I go there. We will starve to death.”
“It’s fine as long as I can earn. I asked around; there are many manual labor jobs in District H. I have strength all over my body anyway, worrying about having nowhere to vent it.”
Xiang Wanxing was moved to tears by these words. He lowered his head, wiping his tears with his hand.
When he looked up again, his usually cold brow held a trace of tenderness.
“Fool, we won’t go to District H.” Xiang Wanxing laughed. “Chen Muyuan’s death has nothing to do with me. Don’t think too much.”
“Really?” Chen Zirui said hurriedly, “Don’t choose to lie just because you’re afraid of suffering.”
“You’re already willing to support me; what kind of suffering would that be?” To stop him from worrying, Xiang Wanxing said firmly, “If I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it. They can’t force me to admit to this crime.”
Chen Zirui observed Xiang Wanxing’s face carefully, then breathed a sigh of relief. “Scared me to death. I thought you killed him. It made me have nightmares every night, all scenes of you getting caught.”
Xiang Wanxing pinched his face. “Worried about me that much?”
Chen Zirui glared at him grumpily. “You are my boyfriend; of course I worry about you.”
Xiang Wanxing laughed and hugged him tighter.
“I thought you only cared about my money.”
Hearing this sentence, Chen Zirui was genuinely a bit angry and couldn’t help struggling.
“You hurt my heart too much. How can you say I only care about money? I even agreed to your proposal. My performance is so obvious, do you still not understand?”
Xiang Wanxing hurriedly kissed his lips ingratiatingly. “Sorry, I’m too insecure. Because I’ve always used money to maintain our relationship, sometimes I dare not confirm your feelings for me.”
Chen Zirui stopped struggling, then cupped Xiang Wanxing’s face with both hands.
His eyes were sincere and brave. “Xiang Wanxing, I love you. No matter what you become in the future, I will follow you. So, do you have a sense of security now?”
Xiang Wanxing gazed deeply at him, tears emerging in his eyes.
“I have it.”
He would also follow Chen Zirui forever.
Only to be Chen Zirui’s Omega.
