The Villain Saves The Male Lead - Chapter 182

Princess Una rolled her eyes. “You never think anyone is worthy of you,” she said. “I’m just afraid that you wouldn’t even be able to recognise your perfect partner even if they were right in front of you because you have dated so many people with so many different characteristics that you are too confused and you don’t even know what you like or want in your partner.”

Prince Uno frowned at his sister. “Just because you found Zeus and he is well matched with you – that doesn’t mean that you can look down on me. Besides, you have hardly dated anyone other than Zeus. There were just those two boys from college, and even those didn’t progress beyond the first date,” he shot back.

Princess Una laughed. “Of course. I met those two and knew that they were not what I was looking for – so why would I waste any time with them? And as for Zeus – I knew the moment I laid my eyes on him that this man was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with,” she said, smiling at her fiancé.

Zeus flushed and took Princess Una’s hand, bringing it to his own lips and pressing a kiss on the back of his hand. He had seen Fang and Ren do this quite often, and he wanted to do the same to his fiancée as well.

“I am the one that fell head over heels in love with you the first time I saw you,” Zeus murmured. “You were simply walking down a corridor, and to me, it seemed like the entire world had disappeared and there was just you. You didn’t see me at the time. But I really, really wanted to impress you, so I enquired about you and then I started dressing up and turning up in the library around the time you did, so that I could pretend to have run into you accidentally. But I didn’t know that you had gone off to another city for a seminar, and waited in the library for an entire week, wondering if you had found out what a creep I was and stopped coming to the library. Just when I was thinking if I should go to your class to apologise, you turned up at the library and came up to speak to me yourself…” Zeus’s cheeks were flushed and his eyes glowed brightly as he spoke of the first time he had spoken with Princess Una.

Princess Una laughed fondly and patted her fiancé on the shoulder in a reassuring manner. “You were never a creep. You looked like a fallen angel sitting on the steps of the library with the rosy sunset in the background, and I thought that you were the most beautiful man I had ever seen and that this was the face I wanted to see every day for the rest of my life,” she said. “I wanted to take a sneaky picture of you, but then I thought it would not be nice to do that without your permission, so I went up to speak with you.”

“How sweet,” Ren murmured, watching the couple with a smile on his face.

Prince Uno rolled his eyes. “At least they were adults at the time,” he said, narrowing his eyes at Ren. “You started dating a child.”

Ren paled, but he didn’t say anything. After all, it was true, he thought to himself bitterly. Fang had been just a child when they had started dating – if they had waited until Fang became an adult, would they still have the same relationship?

A warm hand caught Ren’s cooling fingers, and warmth spread though him suddenly.

“Don’t speak to my Ren like that,” Fang snapped at his older cousin brother. “Besides, I was already of age by the standards of the Dragon Nation when Ren and I started dating, so you are the last person that should be complaining about something like that. In any case, Ren wasn’t the one who chased me – I was the one chasing after him. And even then, he didn’t do anything until I was legally of age. It was very frustrating.”

Ren flushed when Fang said the last bit.

Prince Uno laughed. “Cousin Fang is really protective of his beloved, it seems,” he said lightly. “Good for you.”

“I tested Chairman Ren the first time we met, too,” the Dragon Queen spoke up. “Nephew Fang was there, too. I tried to entice Chairman Ren with many things – but he refused to budge. I knew then that these two were a couple truly devoted to each other.”

Fang remembered the fight he and Ren had had after returning from their meeting with the Dragon Queen that first time, and he was quite embarrassed. Ren had not even hesitated to stand on Fang’s side at the time…

Warmth filled Fang’s heart and he couldn’t help but lean in and kiss Ren on the cheek. To be honest, he wanted to do more, but it would be a bit improper, and they had already been a bit inappropriate earlier today when they had come in for breakfast.

Ren looked at Fang and smiled. “Fang deserves nothing less than my whole hearted devotion,” he murmured. “If I couldn’t even do that, what right would I have to stand by his side?”

“If you don’t have the right to stand by Fang’s side, then there is no one in the world that does,” Wolf said. “You were a bit of a dense idiot initially, but once the two of you started dating, I don’t think I have seen anyone so devoted to their partner as you.”

“Wolf is right,” Fang said. “You have given me way more than I deserve, Ren, but I am very clingy and selfish, and I’m going to stick to you for the rest of my life. But I promise that I will work heard to grown into someone that fully deserves all the care and affection and love and trust that you have given me.”

Ren blinked. “Who says that you are unworthy?” he asked coldly, ready to scold whoever did so.

Fang laughed warmly and stuffed a strawberry in Ren’s mouth. “Don’t get angry, love,” he said with his purple eyes twinkling like amethysts in the sun light. “I don’t think that there’s anyone left in the world who would dare to say that any more after all the action you have taken to protect me.”

“Good,” Ren said with a satisfied smile. Then he turned to the Dragon Queen. “We can take our private jet to the Dragon Nation tomorrow morning, if you think that is suitable?” he asked.

Prince Uno raised his eyebrows. “You have a private jet?” he asked, surprised.

“It is inconvenient for the babies to travel, otherwise,” Ren said lightly.

Prince Uno blinked and shook his head ruefully. “I am wishing that I could be fifteen or twenty years younger and put myself up for adoption to you,” he said.

The Dragon Queen threw a napkin at her son. “Have I mistreated you all these years, you unfilial child?!” she scolded.

Prince Uno caught the napkin and shook his head. “No, no, Mother, I’m not saying that at all,” he said, flashing her a bright smile to appease her. “But just look at how Chairman Ren dotes on his babies – doesn’t it make you jealous and want to be one of their babies as well?”

“I must say that I agree with Prince Uno on this matter,” Zeus spoke up. “I have no complaints against my own Dad and Mom, but really, seeing how Chairman Ren indulges and pampers his children really does make me want to be his child, too.”

“Indeed,” Princess Una spoke up. “Chairman Ren really dotes on his babies so much that it makes me want to be a child, too. And the amazing thing is that the babies are still so obedient and sweet little ones despite the pampering!”

The four babies immediately launched themselves at their precious Daddy and glared at Prince Uno, Princess Una and Zeus in a threatening manner. And then Rudy spoke up from Pax’s phone (since Fang had left Ren’s phone and his own phone in the study) in a peeved voice, “We don’t need Auntie Una and Uncle Uno and Uncle Zeus to become children and hijack our Daddy!” There was a pause and then Rudy spoke again, this time to Fang, “Papa! Do something or Daddy will be stolen away by your relatives! Do you want Daddy to be taken away like this? What if they decide to keep Daddy in the Dragon Nation to pamper them and send you back to Cosmopolis with the rest of us?!”

The other four babies, who were clinging to Ren for dear life at the moment, also turned their eyes towards Fang, looking at him pitifully, as if blaming him and urging him to protect their Daddy from being hijacked by other people.
