The President’s Man - Chapter 291
While Xiao Lei’s problems had settled, Luo Guangying and Callum’s relationship was being put to a test.
Callum and Luo Guangying were having dinner together when Callum, as usual, started flirting with the waitress who served them. He did not think too much about it since it was only a game for him, but Luo Guangying was another case.
“Man, it was nice to have such a pretty waitress serving us. Usually, we only get waiters here…” Callum muttered happily as they were leaving the restaurant. Since the restaurant was near their apartment, and it was a breezy night, they decided to walk instead of taking the car.
When he realized that Luo Guangying did not reply to him, Callum glanced at him and asked in a gentle voice, “Are you alright?”
Luo Guangying had always been a quiet person, but lately, he was even quieter than usual, as if there was something that was bothering his mind.
Without breaking his stride, Luo Guangying suddenly said, “Callum…”
“Yeah?”
“Do you like br*asts?”
“Of course!” Callum replied with a grin. “I’d love them even more if you have them.”
Luo Guangying glanced at him briefly before asking, “Where did you go last night? You were back late.”
Callum thought for a moment. “Erm, I was out drinking with some of my school friends. I didn’t invite you since you didn’t like to hang out with strangers. I messaged you about that, didn’t I?”
He quickly took out his phone to check, but before he could find anything, Luo Guangying said in a rather accusatory tone, “Didn’t you meet Detective Qing yesterday?”
“Huh?” Callum tried to think about the events of last night. He got a little too drunk, and the memories from last night were a little hazy to him. “I think I did. Oh yeah! Now I remember! She was sent here to help out with some detective work, and we just happened to bump into each other.”
“What a coincidence,” Luo Guangying mumbled under his breath.
Callum was confused as to his behavior as he watched Luo Guangying walk in front of him. Suddenly, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he jogged toward his partner before asking in an adorable manner, “Oh, is my wife jealous?”
He thought that Luo Guangying would get mad and hit him, like how he used to do. But to his surprise, Luo Guangying merely looked at him with a pained expression.
“Callum, do you prefer a woman?”
“What?”
“This… Us… How long do you think it would last?”
“What are you talking about?” Callum frowned. “Stop talking nonsense.”
Luo Guangying stopped walking and turned to look at him. With a sigh, he said dejectedly, “You used to like women, but then you chose me. One day, you’d get bored of me, and you would realize that everything between us is a mistake and leave me for another woman.”
“No, I won’t,” Callum said with a stern voice. “You’re the only one I love.”
“Didn’t you say that to all your previous women? One day, you’d find another woman who you would love.” Luo Guangying then turned around with the intention to keep walking.
However, Callum grabbed his arm and dragged Luo Guangying into an alley. He then kissed Luo Guangying on the lips, completely ignoring the man’s attempt to push him off. “Do. You. Really. Think. I would do this to any other woman?”
He then pushed his bulging manhood against Luo Guangying and whispered, “You’re the only one who can get it up now!”
Luo Guangying pushed him away and wiped his lips angrily. “That’s now! What about the future?”
“Who cares about the future? We are living in the now!” Callum said angrily. He did not know what was wrong with Luo Guangying lately, and even though he tried his best to be patient with his lover, he was slowly losing his patience.
“I care!” Luo Guangying snapped. He then ran back to their apartment, completely ignoring Callum who was shouting behind him.
When he got back home, he went straight to their shared room and packed his stuff.
Callum who arrived a few minutes after him rushed into their room and stopped Luo Guangying by taking all his clothes out of the luggage. “What are you doing?! What is wrong with you lately?! Can you please talk to me?!”
“I want a… break!” Luo Guangying snapped, but his voice and his hands were trembling, and he had to keep his arms folded to stop himself from changing his mind.
“What are you talking about?” Callum’s expression turned thunderous as he glared at Luo Guangying. “You’re not getting a break from this, from us!”
He grabbed Luo Guangying and threw him onto the bed before straddling him. Luo Guangying tried to push him back, but he was obviously weaker than Callum, and Callum soon locked Luo Guangying’s wrists with his own hands.
He then leaned down to kiss Luo Guangying, simple-mindedly hoping to change the man’s mind with his kisses. But when he felt something wet on his cheeks when he kissed Luo Guangying, Callum’s body froze, and he opened his eyes, only to see tears falling down from Luo Guangying’s cheeks.
“Why…” Callum asked. He released Luo Guangying’s wrists and gently cupped the man’s face. “What’s bothering you? Did someone say something to you? Please tell me.”
“I can’t do this anymore…” Luo Guangying replied as he closed his eyes. “I can’t… Please…”
Callum could not bear to see him cry, and his heart felt as if someone was slicing and dicing them into pieces. With a pained voice, he asked, “Is that what you really want?”
Luo Guangying nodded.
Callum tightened his jaws and after a few seconds, he nodded. “As you wish.”
He got off Luo Guangying and said in a cold voice, “You don’t have to leave. It won’t do Lin any good if she keeps moving about. I’ll move back to Du Mansion.”
“Callum…” Luo Guangying muttered his name as he sat on the bed.
Without looking at him, Callum said in a flat, emotionless voice, “This is the last time, Luo Guangying. I won’t take this sh*t anymore. If you want to talk, you know where to find me.”
With that said, he walked out of the room, and when Luo Guangying heard the sound of the front door closing, he finally and completely broke down in tears, no longer holding back any of his emotions.
He did not want to do it, and he tried to tell himself that Callum would never abandon him, but the photos that were sent to him earlier during dinner broke him.
It wasn’t much; it was just a photo of Callum with his hand around the shoulders of Detective Qing as he whispered something to her ear.
However, when Luo Guangying saw those photos, Old Master Shenlong’s words reverberated in his mind over and over again. Ever since he saw the first batch of photos that Old Master Shenlong sent to him, he had not had a good night’s sleep. Even when he was sleeping, he found himself dreaming about Callum and Detective Qing together, of Callum leaving him for the woman.
And with this photo, he found himself unable to look at Callum anymore.
He was afraid.
Terrified even.
Callum was the first person whom he had fallen truly in love with, and he was afraid that one day, Callum might wake up and decide that he was no longer in love with him.
If so, it would be better for him to end things for now.
It was weak of him, and he knew that… but he couldn’t do anything about it.
