Two weeks passed, during that time A-Xuan got into a serious relationship with Jinyan. He told her that he wanted to marry her in the future and that he wouldn't accept her dating anyone else.
Jinyan was thrilled and immediately ended the relationship she had on the side. The reason A-Xuan didn't destroy her immediately is that he wanted to make sure she didn't have contact with any of her backers.
If she did, once her extracurricular activities became public, she would be able to convince them, but if she broke up with them and they found out she was dating a guy who has more power than them, they'll be so angry that they would never take her back.
It would be even less likely after the release of her schemes. After checking, A-Xuan was satisfied. She completely cut off her relationship with the 4 men and they were pretty angry.
During that time, they didn't see each other much since A-Xuan was working on damage control after the scandal with Yunchen. After everything went public, Papa Cao told him to stay at home until everything calms down.
Every night at dinner, Papa Cao would gush about how good of a job A-Xuan was doing at work. He put every one of his eggs in his basket, which is exactly what A-Xuan wanted.
He acted like the perfect son, which infuriated Yunchen even more. A-Xuan could see him getting more and more neurotic, and since Yunchen couldn't destroy him with the pictures, he decided to destroy him mentally.
The original has always been more fragile mentally than other kids, the whole family knows that without them he wouldn't be able to survive. With his mild temper, he had a hard time making friends, so all he could rely on was his family.
Papa Cao used that to control him, so why wouldn't Yunchen use that too? Like father like son.
Yunchen got a hold of the adoption papers and made copies. He decided to wait until the crisis at the company passes and people forgot about his scandal to post it online anonymously.
With the shareholders and board of directors being all old school, he knows they won't agree with a stranger taking over a family business. Cao Empire has been inherited from father to son, so logically they would ask for Yunchen to take over.
When A-Xuan found out his plan, he felt like he was helping him. His company's shares in the market are growing day by day, they're already ahead of Cao Empire.
Very soon he'll dump Jinyan using her scandal as an excuse, and if by then Yunchen doesn't release the adoption papers, he'll do it himself.
Even though he knows that Papa Cao won't go against the shareholders and board of directors, he still wants to see what he'll say when they ask him to place Yunchen as the new heir of the company.
Even if he's almost done with everything, A-Xuan felt down more and more every day. Three days after Wu Jing left, he did a press conference saying that the whole engagement was his father's idea and that he never acknowledged it.
He talked about how Wang Ling used that to help Wang Inc and Wang Zi Wei to act as she pleased.
He finished by saying that he never addressed it because he didn't even know it was happening since to him they were no engagement, to begin with.
After the press conference, he thought that he would call him or text him to pave the way to a relationship but he didn't do any of that.
But then he realized that everyone knows that he's officially in a relationship with his niece so he must know too.
No matter how difficult it is, A-Xuan has no intention to abandon his revenge against her for the man he has feelings for.
Even if it's his niece, his work is more important and if he doesn't understand his need to take down Jinyan then they're just not meant to be together.
A-Xuan has a sliver of hope because he knows how vindictive Wu Jing is, Wang Inc is proof.
After the announcement, Wang Inc's stock went down, and Wu Jing put the word out there to boycott the company. Wu Corporation is massive and you don't want them as an enemy so it was pretty easy to destroy Wang Inc.
After breakfast, A-Xuan got in the car to go to Xuan Tech, the company is expanding and he needs to spend more time there.
He entered his office and started working, after a while he heard a knock:
"President, Mr. Wu is here to see you."
When A-Xuan heard that, he got up and impatiently looked at the door. He missed Wu Jing those past two weeks. Before when he did, he would just hack his office camera and watch him but he couldn't even do that this time.
He never called him or texted, he understood why but it doesn't change the fact that he missed him like crazy. Wu Jing walked in. The assistant left and closed the door. Wu Jing looked at the youth looking back at him.
His eyes were sparkly and he seemed excited. Is he excited to see me? Did he miss me as much as I missed him?
Wu Jing walked closer and asked:
"Hey, I know I came here unannounced but can we talk? It's not business-related."
A-Xuan nodded and led him to the couch. He sat, and Wu Jing sat in front of him.
Wu Jing seemed very uncomfortable. After a few seconds, he looked up at him and asked:
"Are you in love with Jinyan?"
At those words, A-Xuan immediately stiffened. So you want to have this conversation today? Good, then at least today I'll know if after I finish my mission you'll stay by my side or I'll directly leave for the next world.
A-Xuan asked with a hint of sarcasm:
"Are you worried about my intention as her uncle?"
Wu Jing looked back, feeling complicated. No, I'm worried you don't love me as much as I love you. He asked again impatiently:
"Are you in love with her or not?"
A-Xuan answered smugly:
"Not."
Wu Jing released a breath he didn't realize he had taken. He asked earnestly:
"Then why are you with her?"
A-Xuan looked back, feeling his heartbeat quicken. This is it, the moment of truth. If he can accept my revenge, then he'll be mine, and if he doesn't...
A-Xuan put on an act of confidence to give himself more courage and said:
"She's been using me all this time because she knows that I'm the heir of Cao Empire. Jinyan just wants to secure herself a future so she purposefully gave me hints that she wanted us to be together while screwing four different guys. I made our couple official so she would dump all her back up and decided that when she thought she had me, I would release pictures of all her extracurricular activities so everyone can see who she is and enjoy while her life turns into hell."
A-Xuan looked at Wu Jing without evading so he wouldn't miss the smallest reaction. He doesn't want him to say that he doesn't care about his revenge but actually feel the opposite.
But the reaction he was expecting never came. Wu Jing was laughing! Laughing! What the hell is going on, did I break his brain?
After he was done laughing, Wu Jing got up and sat next to the youth. He pulled him closer and took him in his embrace. A-Xuan sat there not moving an inch, feeling astonished.
Wu Jing asked while caressing his cheek:
"Baby, I missed you. Did you miss me?"
Feeling lost in those beautiful grey eyes that he missed so much, A-Xuan unconsciously nodded. Wu Jing laughed and pulled him closer in his embrace, he kept caressing his cheek gently but the words he said next were anything but.
He said threateningly:
"You better not have done anything with Jinyan."
A-Xuan smiled. That man will never change, always a vinegar jar.
He answered, putting his hands around his neck:
"I can't do those kinds of things if I don't have feelings for the person. I feel disdain for her so, of course, I wouldn't."
A-Xuan used the messy state of the Cao Empire to evade her, she obviously couldn't have her perfect future if the company isn't prospering so of course, she wouldn't say anything.
Wu Jing was pleased. He tightened his hold and said:
"When are you going to end the relationship?"
"I was waiting until we talk to decide."
Wu Jing asked:
"Why?"
"I was nervous that you wouldn't want to be with me when you find out about my plan. She's still your niece after all."
A-Xuan bowed his head not wanting to see conflict in his eyes. Even though he said that he wouldn't go through with the relationship if he felt the least bit of resistance from Wu Jing deep down he knows that he can't let go of this person.
Wu Jing pinched his chin and lifted his head, he said earnestly:
"Ever since I was a kid I didn't have much interest in anything. I took the reign of Wu Corporation very early on and that's all I focused on. I convinced myself that it was fine if I didn't care about anything except the company, but then you came at breakfast. For once you didn't evade my eyes and looked back, It was like a veil was lifted off. Baby, the second you looked into my eyes I wanted you. It was like that day you left with a piece of me, I felt drawn and I couldn't stop thinking about you. The more time passed the more I realized that I've genuinely never cared about anything besides you. Seeing Jinyan's schemes every day just made me disdain her even more. I never had any affection for her to begin with, I only took her in for my brother. But seeing her use you like that I decided that, I'll do anything to have you. I would do anything for you and I'll accept every one of your choices no matter what they are."
A-Xuan looked at him shocked, no one has ever bared their soul like that to him. He felt excited, nervous, and a little shy. He felt his face getting hot so he wanted to bow his head but Wu Jing was pinching his chin intently.
A-Xuan started to blink rapidly, not knowing what to say. Wu Jing cut the silence and said:
"Baby, I love you so much. Do you understand?"
A-Xuan felt his whole body relax after those words, he didn't realize how much he wanted to hear that. The person he loves loves him back.
He looked at Wu Jing without evading and said timidly:
"I-I love you too."
Wu Jing smiled and kissed him.
A-Xuan felt his soft lips press on his own. At first, it was a sweet kiss but then it turned into something devastating.
Wu Jing's tongue pushed inside, invading his mouth. When his tongue ran across his, A-Xuan felt the same shock of electricity he did before go through his body.
That feeling made him addicted, and he forcibly sucked on his tongue. It felt like the most delicious candy he ever tasted.
Wu Jing could feel his excitement and pulled him onto his lap, impatiently ran his tongue across his teeth and pushed his tongue deeper. A-Xuan kept sucking on it until he had no more oxygen left in his brain.
When Wu Jing saw that the youth was running out of breath, he let go and looked at him. His eyes were misty, and his lips were red and swollen. They were incredibly eye-catching, and Wu Jing couldn't stop himself from kissing him again.
He sucked and nibbled on his lips until he was satisfied, even though he felt like no matter how long he kissed A-Xuan he would never feel satisfied.
They looked into each other's eyes, panting, their breath intermingling. A-Xuan could feel Wu Jing's erection and licked his lips. At that sight, Wu Jing's eyes darkened.
He changed the subject to calm himself down:
"When are you leaving Cao's mansion and ending it with Jinyan?"
A-Xuan tapped on his cellphone while saying:
"3 days, I already met a lawyer to sign the release of all my shares of Cao Empire. Yunchen plans on leaking the fact that I'm adopted so the shareholders will put pressure on my father to elect him as the new heir. Hopefully, he'll release it in two days, if he doesn't I'll do it. After that, I'll make public the fact that I'm the president of Xuan Tech and the partnership with Wu Corporation."
Wu Jing tightened his hold and asked through squinted eyes:
"What about Jinyan?"
A-Xuan gave him a peck on the lips and said with a smile while showing him his phone:
"I already released the pictures, I was only waiting for you to come back to do it."
Wu Jing smiled happily and asked:
"Good, then you'll move in with me, right?"
Even though it was a question, it felt more like an order. A-Xuan answered hesitantly:
"I..."
Before he could finish, Wu Jing grabbed a hold of his lips and kissed him.
This time it was different, it was intense and urgent. It felt like Wu Jing wanted to swallow him whole.
Wu Jing pulled back and asked again:
"You're moving with me, right?"
A-Xuan was still in a daze after that kiss but was still alert enough to shake his head no. Wu Jing captured his lips again, this time it was even more intense and A-Xuan could feel his lips getting sore.
He pushed him back and said angrily:
"I don't want to live with you and your niece, okay? So it's not happening!"
Wu Jing was a bit dumbfounded for a few seconds then said:
"I meant just you and me. I already transferred the money left from her inheritance and sent someone to pack her junk, she'll be gone by the end of the day."
A-Xuan looked at him suspiciously:
"Really?"
Wu Jing chuckled and said:
"Really, my love."
A-Xuan smiled and said happily:
"Okay then, I'll move in after they fire me as the heir."
He hugged Wu Jing tightly. "You're mine now so you can never escape me."
He let go when he heard his phone ring. Jinyan was calling but he ignored it and chased Wu Jing out. He saw those eyes darken, with him here he wouldn't be able to get any work done today.
At the end of the day, he left and drove home. Before he entered his bedroom, he put his game face on.
