Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 700: A very jealous man

When they entered the mansion everyone had gone upstairs to their rooms probably preparing for breakfast. The butler led the pair to the secluded cottage especially prepared just for them. They had put so much effort into preparing this. There were roses adorning the entryway, their petals soft and fragrant. Champagne chilled in an ice bucket, and chocolates in a silver tray.

Aromatic candles were flickering and casting warm light. A banner hung above them written, "Congratulations on your wedding."

"If there is anything you would like don’t hesitate to inform any of the service staff around," said the butler before turning to leave.

"Let’s go see the bedroom," Qie Xieling suggested. Luo Muchen agreed and he was dragged along the stairs.

The second-floor suite opened up to a panoramic view of the ocean. It was like a canvas of azure waves stretching to the horizon. The balcony was spacious with a retro French tea table.

The rest of the room was a symphony of luxury. There were cream-coloured walls, billowing curtains, and a king-sized bed adorned with rose petals. There was a walk-in and their clothes had already been unpacked and arranged for them.

The bathroom had marble floors, a sunken tub, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the ocean. Qie Xieling was already imagining the two of them soaking in warm bubbles while drinking champagne and feeding each other chocolates.

Luo Muchen nudged him, his smile soft. "Do you like it," he murmured.

"I love it," he said as he leapt onto the bed, the soft mattress yielding beneath him.

"Mu Mu," he called, patting the space beside him. "Join me!"

Luo Muchen chuckled, his eyes filled with affection. He lay down, arms behind his head, gazing at Qie Xieling. "Finally alone," he murmured.

Qie Xieling nestled close, their lips brushing. "Finally," he whispered before kissing Luo Muchen and the two of them rolled on the bed.

Ten minutes later Qie Xieling was grumbling with his lips swollen while getting out of bed. Ahhh, his family promised they wouldn’t mess with him but his father had called him to come and have breakfast. The two of them soon reached the main villa’s terrace.

"Where is Dad?" Qie Xieling asked as he sat down at the breakfast table.

"He is inside. He said he has a surprise for you," replied Wen Danzhe.

Qie Xieling didn’t know what his parents were planning neither did he guess. He was just drawn to the delicious breakfast in front of him. All his complaints vanished from the first bite.

Six bites in and his dad approached him with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Lin Lin," he said, "come with me. I have something to show you."

Intrigued, Qie Xieling wiped his mouth with a napkin and followed him into the house. There, standing in the lounge was a human-like android. She wore an elegant summer dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders.

"Shit," he swore recalling how Jolie had been eerily quiet lately. The last time they argued about something stupid he asked her what she was going to do to him when she was stuck in the virtual world. This was his favourite line each time they quarrelled. It seemed now they were on equal footing.

"Lin Lin," Jolie called, her voice melodic. "Little brother!"

"No no no fucking way," he said stumbling backwards before he turned and sprinted towards the beach. Jolie laughed as she chased him like the terminator. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Luo Muchen watched from the terrace, bemused. "What’s going on?" he asked.

Wen Danzhe chuckled. "Sibling rivalry," he said

And so, on that sun-kissed beach, Qie Xieling ran and Jolie chased before tackling him like a football player.

"You think he is okay?" asked Luo Muchen ready to go in and save his husband but Qie Ranzhe stopped him.

"He can handle it. Let them resolve it themselves," he said and sure enough Qie Xieling got up but he didn’t go far. Jolie was just too excited to see him.

***

Qie Xieling lay on the bed, the cool breeze from the ocean rustling the curtains and caressing his skin. He was half naked, his body glistening with a sheen underneath the dim light. He looked through the pictures they took today when he heard the bathroom door creak open.

Luo Muchen stepped out, his toned chest on display, a shaving stick in his hand. Qie Xieling’s brow arched in curiosity as he watched his husband approach the bed.

"What are you doing?" He asked, his voice low and sensual.

"Trying to shave my butt," Luo Muchen replied, a hint of embarrassment in his voice. "I need your help."

Qie Xieling couldn’t help but laugh. "You don’t need to do that," he said, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

"But you have such a smooth butt," Luo Muchen pouted. "I want one too."

Qie Xieling’s eyes softened as he looked at his cute husband. "I got waxed," he said, his voice gentle. "It’s not something you can do yourself. I only did it because my nana and grandma set me up."

Luo Muchen’s face fell as he realised that someone else had seen his bare bottom. "Who did it" he asked, his voice tinged with jealousy.

Qie Xieling, "..."

"It was a professional very straight person," Qie Xieling said having realised someone was guzzling down vinegar. Who was he kidding, if it was him he would blow his top as well and require tons of coaxing.

He ran his fingers through his man’s hair trying to soothe Luo Muchen’s ruffled feathers. "I promise I won’t do it again. If needed you will wax it for me. Come on, don’t be mad."

Luo Muchen sulked for a moment, but then Qie Xieling pulled him close, their bodies pressed together, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss. As they kissed, Qie Xieling’s hands began to wander, his fingers tracing patterns on Luo Muchen’s back, his touch sending shivers down his man’s spine.

Luo Muchen’s annoyance vanished. His mind was now consumed with desire as his lover’s hands explored his body. He forgot all about his jealousy, his thoughts focused solely on the man in his arms.

Turns out Luo Muchen was very chilled. The entire honeymoon he never mentioned it again. He was a very good-hearted man.

LIES... he held a grudge and not on Qie Xieling but the person who did it for him. That very night he had someone send him the information on who, where and what about that person. He was a straight man of steel but he was cheating on his wife with multiple women and had three illegitimate children.

So what did Luo Muchen do? He exposed his harem claiming that he was doing society a service and preventing further heartbreaks. In conclusion, Luo Muchen was just as jealous as his father-in-law. The only difference was that he operated in the shadows like the bogeyman.
