Although Pei Zhen was grateful that his parents accepted his coming out, he couldn’t help feeling like a let-down given the expectations they had placed on him.
When his father cooked bull’s penis, liver and all that, Pei Zhen had already felt that something was not quite right. He realized that it really was for THAT reason.
“How can our Pei family member be the bottom party?” Xiao Long Nu’s voice reverberated through the phone, even Fu Sichen could hear it. “Not possible!”
“D-Dad…” With the man who topped him next to him, every word that his father was saying was like a slap on his face, and it stung. “Let’s not talk about it now.”
“If I don’t talk about it now, your heart will soften, and what if that guy from the Fu family took advantage of you?”
Pei Zhen was sullen.
He had already been taken advantage of!
Stop talking about it already; your son has lost his virginity!
Besides, the bottom party didn’t have to expend any effort, actually… that’s quite fortunate.
Of course, Pei Zhen didn’t dare to say that out loud to his father, for fear that it would infuriate the old man.
After the big hoo-ha, he finally convinced him.
In any case, his parents had accepted Fu Sichen and the fact that they were an item. Pei Zhen had no more worries and bantered with his father for a while to distract him from the topic.
After he hung up the phone, the characteristic arrogance of Little Brat Pei returned. He stretched out an arm across Fu Sichen’s shoulder. “Darling, you don’t have to worry. From now on you are part of the Pei family! I will pamper, love, and protect you all your life!”
The 1.8-meter tall man tip-toeing to place his hand across the shoulder of the 1.9-meter tall man wasn’t the most comfortable action for Pei Zhen.
Fu Sichen smiled slightly and looked at Pei Zhen with a tinge of iciness in his eyes. “Oh, it’s my honor.”
Looking at Pei Zhen’s dad, it wasn’t hard to see where Pei Zhen got his arrogance and self-confidence.
Initially, he was going to tell Pei Zhen something else about himself. However, seeing that Pei Zhen was so adept at taking things into his own hands, Fu Sichen kept quiet and decided not to say more.
“And now?” Fu Sichen asked, “Are you going back to the office?”
“Yes, Xiao Nian must be at the end of the rope now.” After all, he was the one who was breaking the contract with the agency. Xiao Nian was a manager and wouldn’t be able to represent the artiste fully.
He did a mental estimation of his savings and assets, and asked before he left, “What about you, are you going back to the office? When you talk to them, you can let them have my name. There’s no need to be afraid. My heart is with you.”
Fu Sichen tried not to roll his eyes.
He smiled at Pei Zhen and said, rather calmly, “I’ll rely on you, Hubby.”
Pei Zhen was elated by Fu Sichen calling him ‘Hubby’ and had no idea that Fu Sichen was doing it through gritted teeth. It was almost as though he’d forgotten that he was the bottom party.
They each went their own ways, back to their respective agencies to settle the situation.
Knowing that he had his family’s support, Pei Zhen had no other worries. Besides, he had his darling to protect and look after, and it filled him with a great sense of purpose, given that was what a man should be—swift and decisive!
Having checked his bank account to see how much savings he had, Pei Zhen was confident and resolute upon arriving at the agency. He ignored the looks he was getting from the people around.
“Pei Pei…”
The front-desk receptionist called out when she saw him, and at once was filled with complex emotions. Before she could even say much, her eyes well up in tears.
She was considered a reasonable fan, having accepted Pei Zhen’s coming out. Only, the situation was causing considerable commotion throughout the agency. She had a bad feeling that she’d never see Pei Zhen again.
At least, not in the agency.
“Where’s Xiao Nian?” Pei Zhen flashed a friendly smile at her. He’d always been generous and kind towards his fans.
“I’ll tell him you’re here.” As she said that, she couldn’t help but add, “Pei Pei, can you not leave the circle?”
