Reborn as his Shadow - Chapter 25
Xia Qifan added, “Xiao Yao didn’t have time to pay as much attention to the company’s affairs either, he was helping you boss. Xiao Yixiu just abused the chaos to find a good reason to increase his power.”
Xiao Ying tapped his finger on his knee as he thought, “Alright, don’t pay attention to him, just be sure to hold the important things in our hands. I don’t have the power or the ability to expel him from the Xiao family yet.” Having long made plans to get rid of Xiao Yixiu, Xiao Ying was in no rush to act, “He is still my half brother after all, if he doesn’t make a large mistake there will be no reason for the board of directors and my father to deal with him,” his finger stilled as he looked at the three in front of him, “what matters now is our own development. We need to gain a firm foothold in the Xiao family before we get entangled with him, don’t let his actions impede our progress.”
His eyes were serious as he instructed his friends, “I need you to infiltrate these subsidiaries quickly; I will be taking control of the headquarters once you’ve done so.” Xiao Yao had already made plans to retreat from the business before he went crazy, it shouldn’t be too hard to convince him to go back to them.
“Be aware of the Zhao family, neither the father or daughter is easy to deal with. I’m sure that they will be acting soon once they hear the progress we’ve made,” Mo Jingxuan reminded.
The group froze before nodding and replied, “Thank you, we will pay attention!”
Mo Jingxuan relaxed in Xiao Ying’s arms and waved indifferently at the three of them, “Don’t be so polite. I will always be by Xiao Ying’s side in the future, it will be embarrassing if you always act like this.”
They all agreed, but for Mo Jingxuan who appeared so suddenly, it was definitely impossible for them to accept him immediately.
Xiao Ying saw everything in their heads and deliberately reminded them, “You just have to remember, he is my lover, him saying something is the same as if I’ve said it.”
The coldness in Xiao Ying’s eyes did not escape Zi Bo’s attention, and he quickly responded before the other two, “We know!”
Mo Jingxuan smiled and didn’t pay much attention to them.
Xiao Ying was happy with Mo Jingxuan’s attention on him and dismissed the three of them, “Okay, you guys go back first. I’ll go to school tomorrow and once I’ve caught up with the matters at school, I’ll start bothering with the company.”
“Huh? I haven’t eaten yet!” Xia Qifan protested.
Ren Yue echoed her agreement, “It’s rare for us to come to Xiao Ying’s house, let’s have a meal before leaving!”
Watching the play on the sidelines, Mo Jingxuan patted the leg of the person beside him and got up quietly. Xiao Ying followed his lead, and they passed the three friends to go upstairs directly. When passing them, Mo Jingxuan was kind enough to smile, which incited Xiao Ying to glare at them as he walked by.
The three people who were left hanging in the living room, “…”
Shaking his head, Zi Bo took the lead to leave. Walking to the door, he turned his head to say to the two still planning on mooching off a meal, “Single dogs are never welcome as light bulbs.”
Dejectedly getting up, Xia Qifan pulled Ren Yue with him to follow Zi Bo’s steps in disappointment, “I still want to observe that Mo Jingxuan….”
Ren Yue nodded, “I also intend to do so, I don’t know where he came from. Why did he suddenly become the lover of boss? Although he is good looking, that doesn’t hide the fact that he is a man, and they are even so sticky at home.”
“The strangest thing is, we grew up with boss and have never once heard him mention any lover. He was sick so we didn’t see him for a while and now he has a boyfriend?”
Zi Bo was walking in from still, listening to the conversation behind him. As the two stopped talking, he turned back and said unhurriedly, “There is no need to ask more questions, this is the boss’s private matter. But as the boss’s subordinates, it is still necessary to check Mo Jingxuan.”
Ren Yue agreed wholeheartedly, “Leave this matter to me, I’ll ask my brother to send someone to investigate.”
Zi Bo didn’t speak, continuing to walk forward calmly.
Xia Qifan scowled at him from behind, “Pretentious fox!”
Zi Bo paused, but continued to walk forward as if he didn’t hear.
Ren Yue lowered her head to hide her smile, sighing in her heart; the old days are finally back!
The boss had been their center and backbone since before they could remember. During this time when he wasn’t present, they really couldn’t settle down and didn’t know what to do. Now that their leader was back, she knew it would be okay; they had a goal they could work towards and were moving forward even after just one meeting.
Study room——————————-
Xiao Ying was looking through the pile of materials he’d been given when he remembered something, raising his head to say to the man beside him, who was engrossed in a drawing, “Baby, come with me to school tomorrow. We can stop by Nandun on the way and get you a change of clothes, mine are too big.”
Mo Jingxuan hadn’t brought any clothes when he came over, only what he was wearing on him. That set had been ruined from day one when Xiao Ying cut the sleeves off it, so he had been wearing Xiao Ying’s clothes these days. Of course, Butler Qin had noticed immediately how ill-fitting they were, but Xiao Ying was too restless during that time and was calmer when Mo Jingxuan was wearing his clothes. Mo Jingxuan felt it was harmless and had been wearing them since.
Mo Jingxuan nodded and put down his pencil, “I also need some underwear.”
Xiao Ying got up to crowd Mo Jingxuan, sniffing the fragrance of tea on his body as he said in a hoarse voice, “Xuan can only wear my underwear.” My underwear!
Struggling with his morals for a second, Mo Jingxuan agreed, “Then I will send you to school tomorrow and buy it myself. The school strictly prohibits non-students from entering and leaving. I don’t have a student certificate and can’t go in, and you have been absent for so long that it will be hard for you to catch up if you delay going back any longer.” He still has to take advantage of the time when he and Xiao Ying were separated to stop by the Mo’s. The stock market had skyrocketed in these past two days, and it was time for him to act. He didn’t plan on being negligent or underestimating his enemies in the slightest, but he didn’t want to have to pull Xiao Ying forward to help with this either. He can’t let him confront the mo family because of such trivial matters like himself.
Hearing that he wanted to leave him, Xiao Ying’s face darkened, “No, you have to stay by my side!”
Mo Jingxuan rushed to comfort him, “I won’t leave! I won’t leave! I’ll find a way to wait for you in the dormitory. I’m not a student of your school, it’s already a violation of the regulations to go in. Wouldn’t it be obvious that you’re taking the lead in making a special case if I stick to your side at all times? You’re about to graduate, there is no reason to make a scene only for such a small amount of time. Baby, you—”
Xiao Ying interrupted him, repeating, “You must stay by my side!”
Mo Jingxuan didn’t speak; he knew it would be useless to say anything right now. He leaned forward instead and kissed Xiao Ying deeply, pressing his tongue against his jaw and dancing with the tongue that chased after his.
The study was filled with sounds of liquid sloshing together as their saliva intertwined.
Xiao Ying pressed the man in his arms forcefully, gaining the lead as he hooked the tongue that was wantonly exploring his mouth. Kissing him deeper, he naturally inserted his hands into the clothes of the man in his arms, playing with the smooth skin under them until he pressed the pink protrusion on his chest. As if he had found his favourite treasure, Xiao Ying’s hands excitedly scraped and pinched the small strawberry, helping it grow as it began to harden beneath his ministrations.
“Uh—” His sensitive body was being played with harshly, and Mo Jingxuan couldn’t stay silent, even as he dishonestly reached for the man’s lower part himself. Unsurprisingly, he touched a fiery hot bulge and deftly released it from the cloth holding it down. Xiao Ying let go of his lips, letting him sink down from his lap, his aim clear…
After satisfying each other, Mo Jingxuan was once again in the man’s arms and said persistently, “I will wait for you in the dormitory tomorrow!” Not waiting for Xiao Ying’s refusal, he compromised, “I will wear the positioning watch you customized for me!”
Xiao Ying let out a deep laugh and closed his eyes, “Hehehe, so Xuan has learned to seduce me purposefully now?” He suppressed the crazy uneasiness in his heart, forcing himself to give the young man a little freedom.
Mo Jingxuan turned around and saw that he didn’t seem to be angry, so he nodded carefully, “Well, now that I know it works!”
The smile on Xiao Ying’s face was even more apparent as he listened to his words. Holding Mo Jingxuan sideways, he opened the drawer on the right of the desk and took out a blue velvet box. Opening it carefully, he removed the exquisitely crafted men’s watch from inside, “Don’t take this off at all and wait for me obediently in the dormitory. I will settle my matters as soon as possible, and we can buy clothes for you together afterwards.”
Mo Jingxuan raised his hand expectantly, letting Xiao Ying put it on him.
Kissing Mo Jingxuan’s hand lightly, Xiao Ying told him, “I’m about to graduate and we won’t have many chances to go back to school in the future. Next time we do though, let’s get you a student certificate. I have always wished I could take you in human form to look at your favourite places, to be able to respond openly when you’re gushing about your favourite flowers instead of listening so as to seem normal.”
With sore eyes, Mo Jingxuan hugged the man’s muscular waist tightly, “Definitely! We’ll go look at everything together next time!”
The following morning, Mo Jingxuan was wearing a pair of Xiao Ying’s clothes that fit slightly better, though still loose, and they went to school under the escort of the driver.
Mo Jingxuan had initially planned to sneak in over the courtyard wall, but Xiao Ying didn’t want him to be wronged and stubbornly pulled him in with him under the disapproving expressions of several guards. Unfortunately for them, their backgrounds were nowhere near large enough to do their jobs in this case.
Xiao Ying personally sent Mo Jingxuan to the dormitory, frowning when he noticed someone had gone through and cleaned it. It was absolutely spotless! He checked the refrigerator and found that it was also clean, containing only a bottle of water. Not thinking much of it, though, he went downstairs to buy a separate bottle of water for his lover, not forgetting to lock him in as he left.
At this moment, someone else received the news that Xiao Ying had finally returned to school after so long and was rushing to the senior dormitory with an exquisite notebook in his hand.
