The Villain Saves The Male Lead - Chapter 178
Ren started rattling off a long list of things – ranging from silly little things like ‘I want to hold Fang’s hand for an entire day at SIMS, even when we are in class, and make everyone jealous!’ and ‘I want to drink Earl Grey tea every morning as soon as I wake up!’ to more fantastical things like ‘I want to take Fang to meet my parents and my siblings!’ and ‘I want a submarine like Nautilus!’
Nonetheless, Fang listened carefully to each and every thing mentioned by Ren, and remembered it well. And finally, when Ren fell asleep (Fang also tricked him into drinking the hangover tea that Chef Jules had brewed for him), Fang picked up a new notebook and wrote down every single wish made by Ren. Fang would try to fulfil all of them – and as for the completely impossible ones, like meeting Ren’s parents and siblings in the previous world that Ren used to live in – Fang could only put them off for later. Perhaps some day they would be able to get hold of some powerful magicians and be able to create a space time portal that would allow them to visit Ren’s original world – but that was not going to be on the priority list for Fang. The things he could do, he would do first.
There were a total of three hundred and twenty seven things, out of which only thirty eight were impossible at the moment. The rest were very much doable, and Fang decided that from tomorrow onwards, he would fulfil one of Ren’s wishes every single day.
He could start with the Earl Grey tea in the morning, he decided, remembering how happy Ren had been when Fang had brought him Earl Grey tea this very morning.
Satisfied with his plans, Fang crept into bed and pulled Ren into his arms. He drifted off into a deep sleep soon enough.
The next morning, Ren woke up to the aroma of Earl Grey tea again, and found Fang’s beautiful smiling face swimming in front of his eyes the moment he opened them.
Ren blinked slowly, wondering if he was still half asleep, but then Fang pressed a kiss to Ren’s brow and said in a sweet and sexy voice, “Good morning, love. I brought you your morning tea.”
“But my birthday is over,” Ren murmured, eyeing Fang suspiciously.
Fang laughed. “Is there any rule that states that I can only bring morning tea for my fiancé on his birthday and not every day?” he asked.
Ren stared at Fang for a moment and then shook his head.
Fang smiled and poured out a cup of tea for Ren, and watched him as he sipped the tea slowly, his eyes glowing in enjoyment.
Then, remembering something, Ren looked at Fang. “Where is your protein shake?” he asked.
“Right here,” Fang said, grinning at Ren and picking up a sipper from the trolley.
Ren was satisfied, and the two of them enjoyed their respective drinks as well as each other’s company.
“Thank you,” Ren said gratefully, putting away the cup after he finished drinking the tea. “I had a wonderful time yesterday.”
Fang smiled at him. “I’m glad,” he said. “What do you want to do today? We have a couple of days off.”
Ren wondered for a moment and then shrugged. “I have to send out thank you notes to everyone,” he said.
“Don’t worry about that,” Fang said. “Rudy has updated the guest list with the gifts already – in fact, he did it real time as people spoke to you last evening and handed you gifts, and I have also scanned your handwriting for Rudy. He will prepare the responses accordingly. We just have to review them once and then we can release them.”
Ren’s eyes widened in shock. “Rudy – he – he is capable of doing that?” he asked.
Fang nodded smugly. “I don’t you, didn’t I? Rudy is very, very smart,” he said. “He is so smart, in fact, that I won’t be too surprised if Rudy actually makes a body for himself which looks just like a real human body in a matter of months.”
Ren stared at Fang, not knowing what to say. “That – that would be nice,” he said finally. “I wonder if Rudy will look like you or me. He sounds like you…”
Fang chuckled. “We will let Rudy decide that for himself,” he said.
“Daddy!” came a chirpy voice that sounded like a younger version of Fang. “Good morning Daddy! Do you want me to look like Papa? Will you love me more if I look like Papa? Can I grow up and marry you if I look like Papa?”
Fang glared at Ren’s phone, from which Rudy’s chirpy voice was spilling out. Then he picked up the phone and stood up.
“I’ll put Rudy in the study,” Fang said and ran off before Ren could say anything.
Looking at Fang’s rapidly departing back, Ren couldn’t help but laugh. It would be nice to have a little boy that looked like Fang as well, wouldn’t it? Of their other children, both the girls had decided to take after Fang already, and both the boys had decided to take after Ren. Wasn’t it a pity that Fang’s beautiful face won’t be seen on a boy child as well?
And Rudy was right about one thing – Ren would probably adore a child that looked like Fang regardless of gender a bit more. At the moment, he could still say stuff like girls are more precious and get away with doting more on Sylvia and Snow – but in the future, it might be a little more difficult…
Looks like their AI child was really, really smart, indeed.
Fang’s phone, which was on the bedside table, lit up suddenly.
“Hello, Daddy!” Rudy’s chirpy voice came again. “Papa is so cute, do you want to see how he is lecturing me right now about parent – child relationships and how I should not have designs on my Daddy? Papa is really jealous that I like you so much, Daddy! But Daddy likes Rudy, too, don’t you, Daddy?”
Ren laughed. “How did you get into your Papa’s phone, Rudy?” he asked curiously.
Ren could more or less feel the AI rolling its eyes.
“Silly Daddy, I can get into any device,” Rudy said smugly.
“Does your Papa know that?” Ren asked.
“Of course not,” Rudy said. “Papa would disconnect all devices in your bedroom if he knew that. Don’t be silly, Daddy.”
Ren laughed again. “Rudy, dear child, aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell your Papa about this right away?” he asked in a teasing voice.
“Papa will figure it out even if you don’t tell him, Daddy,” Rudy said honestly. “Papa is very smart, and Papa made Rudy, so he will know.”
Ren laughed again. He really liked this new child of theirs. He really wanted Rudy to get a body soon so that he could pinch the child’s cheeks – even better if they would be fair cheeks like Fang’s.
“So, Daddy, do you want me to look like Papa?” Rudy asked again. “I think you look better than Papa, honestly, but then, that could be the bias that comes from Papa because he made me, so all his feelings for you kind of flowed into me as well…”
Ren raised his eyebrows. “Fang thinks I am better looking than him?” he asked.
“Yes,” Rudy replied. “Papa thinks that you are the best looking person in the world, and he can look at you without getting bored forever and ever – even last night, when you were drunk and saying strange things, Papa was constantly looking at you as if you were the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, and then after you fell asleep, he wrote in his notebook for a while and then he watched you again for a long time. In fact, even when he was writing in his notebook, he kept looking at you. He wouldn’t do that if he didn’t think that you were the best looking person in the world, would he?”
Ren was rather taken aback, and then something occurred to him. “Wait, wait – what? I was drunk and saying strange things last night? What was I saying?” he asked, rubbing his temples. He had no memory of what had happened after they came home at all. He couldn’t have done too many embarrassing things, could he? If he had, surely Fang would have said something in the morning? What had he done? Had he thrown up on Fang’s shoes? But he hadn’t drunk that much, had he? And he didn’t feel uncomfortable or sick anywhere, and neither did he have any hangover headache, so that was probably not the case.
Rudy didn’t know exactly what Ren was thinking, but he could see that Daddy was worried about what happened last night, so, acting like a good boy flattering his father, Rudy went on to narrate everything that had happened last night when they got home!
