Chapter 6 - Destined

Translator: humu

What is love? With the pheremones secreting, this might cause two complete strangers to meet, become acquainted, be attracted to each other and fall in love.

However, when one of their pheromones develops a resistance, there will be no future. Even if they were childhood lovers.

Honestly, it was too much. Why were those people, who initiated a break up, so uncreative? If it wasn’t “ You’re very good, but I don’t deserve you. You can find a better one ”, it was “ We just aren’t compatible .”

If it was falling out of love, then just say so. If it was a non-mutual feeling, then so be it. Wasn’t it better to just say it directly? What’s the point of saying so much rubbish? If I were as good as you described me to be, it would be ironic to give me up. To talk about incompatibility now was even more ridiculous.

Turning his head with unfaltering confidence, he dusted off his clothes, not wanting to bring any dirt back. From that moment on, Xu Le locked up his heart. He previously thought that his life would drift by just like this, but had never expected to have met……

“Hey, I’m talking to you, how can you be so disrespectful!” The speaker puffed up his cheeks, rambling with dissatisfaction. It was as if the speaker didn’t seem to realise that such an action would appear somewhat strange on a person above 180cm.

“PFFT-” Xu Le swore that he definitely didn’t do it on purpose. He really couldn’t hold it in any longer, so it ended up being disrespectful.

“Sorry, sorry, it’s not on purpose.”

“What’s there to apologise for? If you wanna laugh, just laugh. It ain’t anything bad, but I still feel kinda unhappy.” The small wheat coloured face leaned in suddenly. He stared right into Xu Le’s eyes for a good amount of time, making sure that there weren’t any peculiarities in Xu Le’s eyes before nodding his head with satisfaction.

“Xu Le, male, 27 years old, currently living alone, dated once, the partner was the neighbour, Hu Kai…… Aye~ Your taste is really bad!” The tone this person used was as if he was bosom friends with Xu Le. But that man simply didn’t know that even if they were close buddies, no one would talk to Xu Le in this manner. It was as if the male’s brain was flooded with water, looking for death.

“Hm…… Future partner is Li Qianfeng…… Huh?! Li Qianfeng?! No way!?”

Perhaps it was the triggered emotions, but with one careless move, the two’s lips were plastered together, with absolutely no gaps in between, forming a perfect harmony.

“…… Manager Xu?! Teacher Li?!” After the “ding” from the elevator, the doors gradually opened. Under the eyes of the CEO’s secretary, Xu Le and Li Qianfeng remained still. Then, the doors slowly closed. As if nothing had happened before.

In the elevator, the first person to react was Li Qianfeng, whose astonishment hadn’t faded from his face. Mumbling in rambles, he said, “That’s not right, isn’t my other half Angela?!”

“That was my name before college.” Although it wasn’t good to interrupt matters regarding himself and his other half, Xu Le was unable to hold himself back.

Li Qianfeng frowned as he looked at Xu Le, scanning him from head to toe. Lastly, Li Qianfeng’s eyes paused at that pale and beautiful face, “Obviously shorter than me, whiter than me, prettier than me…… But it’s actually a guy! And could even make me…… Oh good heavens, why did you have to do this to me!?”

.

Laying atop the massive bed, Li Qianfeng was so exhausted that he couldn’t even find the energy to lift a finger. His wheat coloured skin was coated with various sized kiss marks, the anaerobic brain had no ability to think of other things.

With a bared body, Xu Le carried his bigger and heavier lover in a princess-style, pressing a kiss on that pink flushed face with a look of pampering.

“…… Wu… No more…… So tired…” The hoarse voice wasn’t as melodious as before, but to Xu Le, it had the ability to turn up his lust at the speed of light.

"

"

Xu Le had indeed exhausted his lover, but there wasn’t any choice. Who asked his lover to selfishly leave the house for a week, before getting Xu Le’s permission? Even if it was for work, that wasn’t allowed. How could a perfectly healthy male, at the prime of his life, abstain for so long? If it wasn’t for Li Qianfeng’s total exhaustion, he wouldn’t have released Li Qianfeng so easily. From this day on, Xu Le vowed to raise and feed his lover, for his personal happiness, as well as for his nightlife.

“…… Wu, I’ve already eaten… Enough…” Li Qianfeng, who couldn’t muster up any remaining energy, protested with dissatisfaction after realising Xu Le’s evil intentions. Li Qianfeng’s physical condition was already considered excellent in comparison with others. It was clearly Xu Le who was an anomaly. Was he not afraid of dying from excessive ejaculation?! Besides, how could Li Qianfeng have given him a heads up? If Li Qianfeng had mentioned this beforehand, it would end up with either Xu Le guarding him with absolute security, and not giving Li Qianfeng any chances of leaving, or it was Xu Le proposing a condition, draining Li Qianfeng of any strength to step out of the door. Li Qianfeng was always getting all sorts of looks from the people of the same profession. No matter how thick skinned he was, Li Qianfeng would still inevitably feel embarrassed.

After cleaning his lover, Xu Le carried Li Qianfeng as he changed the bed sheets. Then, Xu Le gently and quietly cuddled Li Qianfeng before falling asleep. At this moment, Xu Le truly felt that his life had no regrets. If Xu Le hadn’t met him…… It was a future he didn’t dare to imagine.

When the sun shone its brightest on the next day, Li Qianfeng stirred awake in the warm nest. Stretching up a hand to rub his sleep-filled eyes, Li Qianfeng felt that the spot beside him no longer carried another’s warmth. Seemed like he woke up a little too late.

Floating through the air was a thick scent of delicious food. Li Qianfeng’s tummy started jumping enthusiastically. To be completely honest, other than the matters of the bedroom, Xu Le was an incredibly perfect partner, absolutely amazing.

“Qiangfeng, time to wake up for food~” A voice hollered from downstairs. Li Qianfeng was also a little embarrassed to continue lazing in bed. He put on the clothes prepared at the bedside and combed through his hair with his hands. It was only after washing up, did he then slowly walk down the stairs.

An apron-wearing Xu Le looked even more refreshing than the spring breeze. As compared to the slow-moving Li Qianfeng, who required the support from the handrails and supporting his waist, that bright smile on Xu Lu’s face was so dazzling that it made others wish to destroy it.

Once the last dish was served, Li Qianfeng’s head was pressed down, having Xu Le’s appetiser extracted from his body.

Upon release, Li Qianfeng took harsh breaths. Every kiss felt like suffocation. Who knew if one day, he would die from this method of suffocation. Thinking of this, Li Qianfeng shot Xu Le an extremely dissatisfied glare.

“Qianfeng, if you don’t stop looking at me like this, you can just dream of eating.”

“…” Was Xu Le serious? Giving him a glare and Li Qianfeng’s food was gone?! How could there be such a person! Must strongly rebel!

“If you continue to seduce me with those eyes, don’t think about getting out of bed for the next 3 days.”

"

"

“……” Eat, just eat, I didn’t hear anything, didn’t see anything, nothing happened, absolutely not.

It was about enough to have gotten two days of rest since returning from overseas. Although he didn’t lack money, Li Qianfeng enjoyed his work. Slinging on his backpack, Li Qianfeng’s long legs aided him in swiftly disappearing from Xu Le’s view, who had wanted to send him to work.

After changing his route twice, Li Qianfeng didn’t head towards his workplace. Instead, he walked into an international hotel chain, directly riding the elevator up to the top floor.

To stand at such a high altitude, was he not cold? An elegant male held a glass of wine in his hand, appreciating the view outside the window while his brows were tightly knotted.

Li Qianfeng remained quiet as he stood behind that male, not uttering a single word.

Once the sound of the footsteps disappeared, no voice was heard for a long while. The male became unhappy.

Turning around, he strode to Li Qianfeng, reaching out a hand to point at Li Qianfeng’s solid chest. With a pouting mouth, the man looked even more immature than Li Qianfeng. Yet, he looked very pretty. If it wasn’t for the little bump at the throat, everyone would have misunderstood him for a female.

“Why are you not talking! You aren’t willing to see me, is that it?! Are you hating me for being too old?! You abandon your old love for a new plaything, right?! Or do you think that throwing me to another will smooth everything over?! I’m telling you that it’s not so simple! If you don’t settle this matter quickly, I’ll continue to linger and haunt you. Otherwise, my surname isn’t Lai! Humph!” Li Qianfeng looked at the male who kicked up a fuss out of nothing and sighed. Li Qianfeng seemed to have aged in a short moment.

The male continued to jab relentlessly. He didn’t even mind if his finger turned red. In anycase, if he couldn’t get a word out of Li Qianfeng, then he would not cease.

The two were at a standstill, refusing to cave to the other.

Aye~~ A sigh came. The male knew that he won.

“What do you want me to do then?!” Li Qianfeng deeply felt that he was entering a huge pit, but he didn’t have a choice. No one had ever won against this person, unless he surrendered.

“Hm~ About this, I realised that I didn’t bring money with me when I left my house. Money isn’t omnipotent, but without money, one couldn’t do anything. Besides, I’m currently upset that there’s no one to accompany me for a stroll. You see……”

“Got it, I’ll accompany you. Happy?” Heaving another sigh, Li Qianfeng felt that the meaning of his life was to torment himself. But if there wasn’t him, there wouldn’t be a person named Li Qianfeng.

No, that’s not right. Xu Le wasn’t one who went overboard in his imagination. But Li Qianfeng has been too quiet recently. He was so obedient, it made one suspicious.

Putting aside that there was always another person’s scent on Li Qianfeng, it was the same scent consecutively these few days. There was no answer even if Xu Le asked. Could it be….. No, definitely not.

Xu Le originally thought that even if they broke up, it wouldn’t amount to anything. It wasn’t as if he hadn’t experienced it before. But the moment there was a possibility that Xu Le might break up with Li Qianfeng, it felt as if his heart was getting carved out of its spot, hurting terribly.

If Xu Le didn’t have Li Qianfeng, Xu Le was lost, not knowing where and what he should do.

Xu Le’s change didn’t go unnoticed by Li Qianfeng. However, the other side had drained him of any other energy to deal with the change here. Li Qianfeng currently just wished to send the ancestor off quickly, before confessing to his lover.

One didn’t plan to explain, the other didn’t dare to ask. A murky undercurrent flowed under this seemingly peaceful surface.

Xu Le’s company welcomed a batch of newly hired employees. Although they were new, it only applied to this job. Amongst this batch of ordinary employees, there was a man that Xu Le found very familiar. That’s right, it was Xu Le’s childhood and first love, Hu Kai.

Many years had passed since Xu Le last saw that guy. To say that Xu Le hated him was false, to say that Xu Le still loved him was completely nonsensical. To put it simply, Xu Le felt gratitude. If it wasn’t for Hu Kai, perhaps Xu Le wouldn’t have met his current lover.

Sweeping his fluffy hair dashingly, Hu Kai displayed his perfectly styled appearance.

“Hi, hello, I’m surnamed Hu, and Kai is my name. May I ask for this beauty’s name?”

The extremely old-fashioned pick up line nearly made Xu Le’s secretary gag in disgust. But on the account that her boss was present, she could only eye that man with disgust.

Perhaps it was his tremendous change, but Xu Le’s first love didn’t even remember what Xu Le looked like. Xu Le coldly uttered a line, “Long time no see!”

This sentence managed to knock Hu Kai and the secretary dizzy. Could they have met before?

“Manager Xu, have we met each other before?” Hu Kai asked cautiously. Hu Kai didn’t recognise the man in front of him, deeply afraid that he might have accidentally offended Xu Le for not remembering him. If it was like this, Hu Kai’s life wouldn’t be easy.

Xu Le eyed the man indifferently, not even a single wave arose in his heart. It wasn’t that Xu Le didn’t see through the other’s antics. It’s just that Xu Le wasn’t a person who would mix personal life with professional life. If you have the capability, then speak with the facts.

“Don’t you know what my surname is? Why are you asking for my name? Oh right, I used another name before, perhaps that’s more familiar to you. Angela.”

“…”

Working like a worker bee for the past few days, running all over for a certain guy, Li Qianfeng was truly exhausted to the bone. Upon returning home everyday, he would take a shower, eat then enter dreamland the moment his head touched the pillow. Who the hell cares if you were Sun Wukong creating trouble with the Heavens, or Ne Zha messing with the seas, or any other demons, Li Qianfeng blocked it all out.

Seeing Li Qianfeng sleeping soundly, Xu Le secretly felt that something was wrong.

Two days ago, Li Qianfeng vomited a few times after eating, yet he said that he didn’t have time when Xu Le wanted to bring him to the hospital. Just what in the world was Li Qianfeng so busy with, that he could even neglect his own health?

Was Xu Le really about to lose him? No! Absolutely not!

“Oh please, aren’t you tired of shopping for so many days?!” Li Qianfeng, who wasn’t a shopaholic, really couldn’t endure it any further, “Xu Le has been starting to worry about me recently, I don’t want him to have any wild thoughts.”

"

"

A dissatisfied speck of light flashed across the male’s eyes.

“Tsk, what’s the point of wanting such a useless man? It’s already been so long, but he hasn’t made any moves, he deserves to think wildly!”

“I forbid you from speaking of him like this! It isn’t his problem from the start!”

“If it’s not his, then whose is it. Don’t tell me that you want to say it’s yours? Or is it mine? Or is it ‘his’? HUH?!” The male’s ugly expression turned even worse. Everyone in a 5 metres proximity all retreated, backing away from the overbearing ruthlessness that could choke a person. Only one fearless person walked closer to the male.

“May I ask what you are doing to my man?” With one arm protecting Li Qianfeng, Xu Le stared directly at the male without a shred of fear.

Although he felt some heartache thumping in him, when Xu Le saw Li Qianfeng walking so intimately with someone else, the other person definitely couldn’t harm Li Qianfeng in any way, regardless of the other person’s identity.

“Your man?!” Reaching out a hand with the intention to pull Li Qianfeng over, the male had his hand slapped away by Xu Le. Xu Le retreated a few more steps back, while shielding Li Qianfeng.

The male didn’t rage, but smiled instead. Lifting up the hand that had been slapped red, his smile was particularly bright. That alluring face chilled everyone’s heart at that moment.

Li Qianfeng flew to the male’s side hastily. With a coaxing voice that seemed as if he was fighting for favour, Li Qianfeng spoke, “Let’s go home and talk, okay? Alright?”

Xu Le looked at Li Qianfeng and the male in confusion. From his memory, Li Qianfeng had almost never treated him like this. Was this a clear sign that Xu Le was, once again, abandoned?

Staggering back a few steps, Xu Le couldn’t believe it…… Could it really be….

‘I’m sorry, Qianfeng, I couldn’t leave you with a smile… I’m sorry, I couldn’t fulfill my promise to you. I really couldn’t see your retreating figure…’

Turning around, he left with the quickest speed he ever used in his life.

“No—-!”

Pouting angrily on the sofa, Li Qianfeng was truly going mad from anger. No one knew who the anger was directed to. In any case, the tan face turned even darker.

“Baby, don’t be angry. Daddy didn’t mean to. Who knew he would react like that? Daddy isn’t you, so how would I know it would end like this? Besides, you didn’t remind me.”

“So it’s my fault? HUH?!”

“No no, it’s all Daddy’s fault. Daddy shouldn’t have ever done this……”

At 2 am, in the wee hours, a person’s footsteps transmitted from the door.

The door opened and shut. Then, the incoming person turned on the lights noisily. 4 people met face-to-face.

“Who is he?” Li Qianfeng glared at the stranger, with a tinge of redness in his eyes.

“Who are you guys?!” Hu Kai immediately asked, donning a look that screamed, ‘This is my house’.

Xu Le had intended to answer, but upon seeing Li Qianfeng’s reddish eyes, words couldn’t come out. Xu Le didn’t know how to face Li Qianfeng, and didn’t know what Li Qianfeng’s intentions were.

“What the heck do you think you are doing? The first love returns, so you want to throw away my baby son?! HUH?!”

Son?!

Xu Le, who caught the key word, was stunned as if someone bashed his head with a stick. Xu Le had never thought of that possibility before. All sorts of possibilities ran through his mind, yet the only exception was this.

“…Le, you don’t want me anymore?”

“No!” Pushing away Hu Kai that was supporting him, Xu Le rushed over, ignoring the left foot that was accidentally hurt just now.

In such a heartwarming scene, who would dare to interfere and break it? If there was anyone to blame, it would be himself. Back then, Hu Kai left such a warm lover for other people’s money. If time could be rewound, Hu Kai definitely wouldn’t have acted so stupidly. It was only a pity that everything couldn’t restart.

Hu Kai took another glance and tactfully left.

“No, it’s not like that. Qianfeng, you’ve misunderstood. How could I ever not want you. Unless you don’t want me, I would never ever leave you. I was only…” Xu Le explained everything from head to toe.

Listening to Xu Le’s words, Li Qianfeng felt that he was also in the wrong. Li Qianfeng clearly felt Xu Le’s changes, yet he left it be and did not address it as soon as possible. Thus, Li Qianfeng was still the main culprit in this misunderstanding. However, it’s great that they have cleared things up. It was just that they forgot about the presence of another, who had been eavesdropping in on their conversation.

Grabbing Li Qianfeng’s right hand, the man tugged at it for a while, then changed to the left and did the same. A smile gradually dyed onto the person’s beautiful face. What differed from the previous smile, was that this smile was true joy emitting from the depths of his heart.

“Amazing. Little rascal, I approve of you. Heh heh, but you must first and foremost give me the full power to name your first child.” Who knew if the first grandson would look like his lover.

A child?! This frightened Xu Le and Li Qianfeng to death.

“I wouldn’t betray Qianfeng!”

“I’m expecting?!” Li Qianfeng was even more flabbergasted than Xu Le. Li Qianfeng positioned both hands on his flat tummy. The shine in his eyes flowed with a maternal light.

That opposing voice was blocked. Xu Le looked at Li Qianfeng in astonishment.

“Don’t tell me, Qianfeng hadn’t told you that he was born from my lover?”

It truthfully wasn’t that Xu Le looked down on Li Qianfeng’s dad. Although Li Qianfeng’s appearance was very exceptionally alluring, he wasn’t a female to begin with. It was obvious that he wasn’t the one who gave birth. Only, what did this have to do with anything?

The doorbell rang out of the blue. Li Qianfeng’s dad stood and acted as the master of the house as he opened the door. The person, who hadn’t even entered the house, heard Li Qianfeng’s dad speak coquettishly, “Wife, lemme tell you, Baby’s pregnant! I really wish that the child will look like you.”

“En, got it. Let’s go home.” A deep and hoarse voice travelled from the door. Connecting this voice that was unique to only males to their previous conversation, Xu Le was lost with no directions, as if getting bashed from Halley’s comet.

What were the impossibilities from this world? Holding his one year old son, Xu Le felt that if there was really something impossible, that was him ever leaving Li Qianfeng.
