Huang Dewei's eyes slowly opened as he adjusted them. He rubbed them, slowly sat on the bed, and looked at the unknown surroundings. He was confused for a while as to where he was, but then slowly his memories rushed back to him and his eyes widen. He realised he was in Wang Lei's room. He panicked got up as he looked around and he was nowhere in sight. Huang Dewei quickly decided to run off from here before Wang Lei would return. He does not remember much from last night but all he knew was he was very drunk when he came here and he complained about Huizhongi's behaviour. Huang Dewei quickly straighten his clothes and run towards the door to vanish away from here when he heard him right behind him

'Where are you running off?' Huang Dewei stopped in his track as he slowly turned over and looked back towards him who was standing with just a towel on while his hair was all wet... looking at the circumstances it looked like he just had taken a shower. Huang Dewei bowed down as greeted him.

'My apologies, I ask your forgiveness, your highness.' Huang Dewei said

'For what are you apologetic for?' Wang Lei asked while seriously looking at him.

'For my misbehave from last night.' Huang Dewei replied back still looking down

'Do you remember everything from last night?' Wang Lei asked

'No, just about the complaint regarding the ruler of Qi and then sleeping on your bed. I am sorry for causing your inconvenience. I don't know how dare I sleep in your bed. I ask you mercy, your highness.' Huang Dewei said as he bowed down again and Wang Lei stares at him. He does not remember his confession regarding Xin Ying.

'Come and get me to dress up.' Wang Lei gave him an order changing the topic as he walked and stood opening his arms for him to start dressing him. Huang Dewei slowly stood back up and was taken aback by his request but without a word, he nodded his head and walked toward him. He put on a white undergarment robe and then put over his red Emperor over him as he started to dress him. Emperor or any royal garment clothing usually have two to three layers. It is usually not just one layer robe. After putting on all layers of the robes on him, Huang Dewei came and stopped in front of him to tie the robe from the front when Wang Lei spoke up

'You said you wanted a picture with me?' Wang Lei said and Huang Dewei looked up at him confused clearly indicating that he does not remember saying anything like this

'Did I say that? I must have lost my mind.' Huang Dewei said as he laugh off thinking it was a joke while Wang Lei was seriously looking at him. He really does not remember telling him his secret of why he was here? He really confessed his biggest secret and like a fool, he does not remember anything at all. Huang Dewei went back to tie his robe while Wang Lei was intensely staring at him.

'Do you want to leave from here Huang Dewei?' Wang Lei asked and Huang Dewei looked up at him astonished and surprised

'...No...why?' Huang Dewei replied unsure whether why he was asking him something like this.

'You said last night you wanted to leave from here. You don't remember but you said a lot of nonsense to me last night, Huang Dewei?' Wang Lei said and Huang Dewei's eyes widen as alarmed and panicked looked towards him and then he quickly bowed down again.

'I ask your forgiveness, your highness.' Huang Dewei said as he closed his eyes over his stupidity. What the hell did he tell him last night? He should never have gone to drink alcohol. Huang Dewei thought as he cursed himself.

'I think you deserve a punishment.' Wang Lei said and Huang Dewei looked up at him as he nervously gulped in.

'If you think I deserve punishment then you can give me. I will accept because I know I deserve it.' Huang Dewei said as he looked down embarrassed thinking about what he has done to make Wang Lei angry again. Wang Lei stares at him and sighed. He really does not know that he told Wang Lei about his and Xin Ying's relationship and thinking about them makes Wang Lei angry and jealous again. Wang Lei looked at him for a brief second and then he pulled him towards him as Huang Dewei shocked looked up at him at their closeness.

Wang Lei with an expressionless face, look at him then he moved his hand and untie his robe from the front as exposing his chest. Huang Dewei was frozen in his place as Wang Lei's one hand was on his wrist keeping him in his place. Huang Dewei really had no idea what Wang Lei wanted from him when he felt Wang Lei grab his nipple between his finger and pinched it.

'Ahh...' Huang Dewei screamed in pain as he was stunned looking at him who does seem distant and cold. Huang Dewei was staring as Wang Lei pinched him harder and Huang Dewei hissed in pain again as he bite his lips. He felt throbbing and aching pain where he was pinching yet he felt his other nipple was sensitive begging for some attention from him, but he could not dare say that to Wang Lei.

'Do you know why you are getting the punishment Huang Dewei?' Wang Lei asked coldly as he pulled his nipples moving him closer to him when more and Huang Dewei screamed again painfully as he put his hands over his shoulder to endure the pain trying not to make any sound.

'Because I cross the line with you which I should not have because we only share a professional relationship...I should not even be standing here.' Huang Dewei said as he closed his eyes. He could feel pain in his nipple which was sore by now, but Wang Lei just harder his grip on it out of pain Huang Dewei hugged him.

'Please forgive me...I am sorry, Wang Lei.' Huang Dewei whispered begged him in his ear while his eyes were shut closed and called his name as he apologised again, Wang Lei's anger calm down as he quickly let go of his nipple and pulled him away while making him look up towards him.

'You get the punishment because you said you wanted to leave which is not possible. Whatever reason you came here I don't care but you can't leave now until I told you to leave, got it?' Wang Lei said as he warned him and Huang Dewwei was looking at him. He had no intention of leaving Wang Lei hence he had no idea why he was even saying that to him anyway. Huang Dewei thought as he nodded his head puzzled as he looked down innocently. Wang Lei looked at his nipple which was all red and sore due to pinching.

'Stand here and wait...' Wang Lei said and walked away and he came after a few seconds with medicine in his hand. He moved and put medicine over his red and sore nipple and Huang Dewei was even more surprised looked towards him. What Kind of odd behaviour was that? Why he give him punishment then he gave him cure as well. Does he care about him or not? Huang Dewei was confused.

'Go and get freshen up and then come back to work.' Wang Lei said as tied back his robe and Huang Dewei quickly nodded his head and then walked off. Wang Lei sighed as soon he was out of the door and wore his clothes. Today they were having a meeting with Huizhongi to make a deal and he knew what decision he needed to make when there was a knock and he heard Cheng announcing that Chen Ju was here. She entered inside she greeted him and Wang Lei greeted her back

'Why are you here Chen Ju?' Wang Lei asked as he sat down on the sofa

'I am here to discuss your meeting with Huizhongi which is happening today.' Chen Ju said as Wang Lei nodded her head and signal her to sit down on the sofa too. She sat down in front of him.

'Tell me what do you want to discuss?' Wang Lei said while starting off the conversation.

'From the meeting day, as much I observe, I believe I know the way we definitely can seal a deal with him.' Chen Ju said in a serious tone

'What way?'

'I believe he wanted Huang Dewei. We can trade him and give him as a gift to him.' Chen Ju said as he convey her idea and dislike expressions took place over Wang Lei's face

'That is not possible.' Wang Lei strightout rejected her idea.

'But why? That is the best way and something that has been happening for generations. Trading people as sex toys for political gain has always been proven beneficial for us.' Chen Ju said from her political point of view

'Well, now it is going to get change. Using people like this without their consent like they are not human with feeling and emotions need to get change.' Wang Lei replied back keeping his calm.

'Are you doing this because it's Huang Dewei?' Chen Ju asked

'No, I would do it for anyone from this nation. I am not trading people for political gain anymore. My nation people whether they are rich or poor deserve to live with pride.' Wang Lei replied back truthfully and Chen Ju sighed

'That is not something you can change that easily.' Chen Ju said while being realistic

'Well, I will try at least.' Wang Lei replied and Chen Ju just nodded her head

'Anyway, what is your relationship with Huang Dewei? I saw him getting out of your room.' Chen Ju asked curiously and a little hurtfully while Wang Lei sighed

'Why does everyone keeps asking about our relationships. We share no relationship other than master and servant. There is nothing.' Wang Lei replied back

'Good to hear but that day you felt strange to me while you were talking with Huizhongi.' Chen Ju said as he confessed her concerns.

'How strange?' Wang Lei asked

'You sometimes scare me regarding Huang Dewei, Wang Lei.' Chen Ju confessed and Wang Lei was also surprised by her statement.

' How do I scare you?'

'It's just sometimes it feels like you would even kill people for him Wang Lei and that's scary. It seems like that guy has control over you. If he is bad news then he will ruin you.' Chen Ju said and Wang Lei looked at her then just laugh

'You are worrying too much Chen Ju. There is nothing between us and neither I am stupid to kill people for some servant.' Wang Lei said as he smile and Chen Ju sighed but somehow even Wang Lei felt like he was lying. He felt she was probably right that he would kill people for Huang Dewei. He can kill people who would hurt him.

'Good because I do not trust that guy neither should you.' Chen Jus said whereas Wang Lei said nothing in response. He could not even say that he already blindly trust him.

'Anyway, do you need me for anything?' Chen Ju asked and Wang Lei looked towards her who was lovingly looking at him and he knew where she was hinted at.

'No, I don't need you for anything else.' Wang Lei replied truthfully and Chen Ju sighed as she spoke up

'I heard you were in Xin Ying's room again last night?' Chen Ju asked in a jealous-filled tone and Wang Lei looked at her as he replied to her

'Yeah, I had something to discuss with her.' Wang Lei replied

'But you always used to come to me for discussion then why her this time?' Chen Ju complained bitterly

'It was something personal.' Wang Lei simply replied

'Are you thinking of having the crown prince with her?' Chen Ju asked and Wang Lei just sighed

'I am not planning anything with her.' Wang Lei replied and Chen Ju sighed sadly

'Well, I will be going now. I hope you will make a good deal with Huizhongi since it's very important to us.' Chen Ju said as she stood up and Wang Lei just nodded his head while she walked off. All he knew was that he had made his decision and a decision that most likely most people won't like. He was feeling pressure over him and was a little worried about how others will react, but then he also feel like whatever decision he had made would be best for his nation.

Wang Lei said as he stood up and walked towards the mirror and put on the hairpin Huang Dewei gave him. He had no idea why he keep wearing that hairpin but he does. He liked it as he could feel his presence when he wore his hairpin. That hairpin was precious to him just the way Huang Dewei was to him. Wang Lei thought as he looked towards his bed where he was sleeping last night and he suddenly missed his presence. His mind and heart were in a fight regarding Huang Dewei and he had no idea who will win it. He had no idea whether losing Huang Dewei was a bigger loss or having Huang Dewei was the bigger challenge. Either way, he wanted to keep him by his side as long as he could. His life felt empty without him and his feeling like this for him was equally surprising to Wang Lei. He just wanted Huang Dewei to be with him today...tomorrow...and forever.
