[T/N: As usual, because it’s done in a rush, there will be some mistakes until Klee proofreads it within the next 48 hours.]
By evening, the guests were gone, leaving the helpers to tidy up the garden.
After busying themselves for the entire day, the family finally got to sit back and relax.
Old Madam Shang drank her tea while she asked the couple, “Yushang, why don’t the two of you go have some rest first?”
“It’s okay granny. The luggage is packed, we’ll be leaving in an hour.”
“That’s good. Remember to give me a call when you’ve reach there. Relax, have fun and take good care of Changning.”
“I got it, granny.”
The couple returned to their room to do some simple tidying up. Watching Changning moving slightly sluggishly, Yushang wrapped his arms around his lover’s waist, “You should sleep once we board the plane. I’ll wake you up when we’ve reached.”
Changning returned a gentle smile, “Okay.”
As the plane took off, Changning fell asleep comfortably beside Yushang. The past few days had exhausted him out. Plus, they had woke up very early that morning, dealing with the guests and that worrying Yin family. Finally, he had a chance to rest. With Yushang’s warm body temperature beside him, Changning fell asleep easily.
The noise when the plane was descending woke Changning up. As he opened his eyes, he could see that handsome face along with those deep, alluring voice, “Did the noise woke you up?”
Changning who was still a bit dazed out shook his head, “Have we reached?”
“Hm, we’re alighting soon. Put on a sweater, you’ll catch a cold.” With that, Yushang grabbed the sweater by the side and put them on his wife.
The plane door opened and Yushang had his arms around Changning as they alighted. The butlers of foreign race were all waiting for them as they stood at the side, waiting for their master’s order.
Yushang gave his instructions to the butlers in fluent French as their luggage were picked up and they left for the residence.
The private plane landed at the parking airfield that was within the ancient castle’s compound. It was still quite a distance away from the residential area, hence the butlers had prepared a car.
Soon, the car stopped at the residence’s doorsteps. Yushang had his hands on Changning’s waist as they walked into the gigantic ancient castle.
Although they had seen how spectacular and imposing the French ancient castle was from the magazines, but seeing the magnificent structure standing before them was an overwhelming experience as the gigantic structure and mysterious aura surrounded them, making it impossible for their eyes from looking around.
The medieval European styled furniture and decorations surrounded by the atmosphere that was filled with the aristocrats’ lavish taste of choices. The exquisite engraved ornaments, colorful art works were everywhere that when one was standing among them, they could imagine how the French royalties had lived back then.
Changning who had slept on the plane was now feeling very afresh. He walked and touched the structures along the way, stop at some spots and then rush off to the next target, fleeting around like a lively little chick. The new experience had sparked Changning’s adventurous soul as his smiles were filled with surprise and amazement. Yushang who was following right behind him was watching his cheerful lover. His eyes were filled with happiness and love as he felt reassured that it was the right decision to bring Changning to this place.
As Yushang followed his lover’s adventuring journey, he also made a call to his grandmother to inform that they have reached safely.
When it was about mid-noon, seeing that his lover didn’t seemed to be planning to stop any time soon, Yushang decided to grab Changning’s hand, “Babe, you can explore after we have lunch. Everything here is yours, you can see it anytime.”
Although Changning was aware that he was overly excited, but he couldn’t hide his love for this place, “Okay.” He beamed his sparkling eyes at Yushang, “When we’re done with lunch, I’ll go check things out, can I?”
Seeing his lover’s watery doe-eyes looking at him, Yushang felt his throat getting dry as his heartbeat picked up its pace, and his body feeling warmer. He smiled helplessly as he knew that he had fallen deep for this man. Suppressing the desires from his body, Yushang cupped his hand on Changning’s cheek as he couldn’t bring himself to reject his lover, “Okay then, just one hour though. You have to get some rest, understand?”
As if he had gained something incredible, Changning nodded his head enthusiastically, “Hm, I got it. Let’s go eat now.” He rubbed his stomach shyly, “I’m hungry.” He chuckled as he blinked his eyes.
Yushang pulled his lover closer to press a kiss on his lips, “Let’s go then.”
The lunch was sumptuous. The foreign butlers were dedicated in their tasks as they had prepared everything beforehand including their master’s preferred taste in food.
Yushang ate his own food while he took care of his wife, occasionally adding food to his plate, refilling his drink and even wiping the food stains on his mouth.
The helpers were stunned beyond words. Was this really their poker-face and cold-blooded master? Although Yushang did not travel to France frequently, and even staying at the castle was a rare case, yet the butlers and the helpers knew how stoic face and silent their master was. He was a man who reeked of danger making no one willing to go near him without a reason. That was why every time that Yushang had visited, the helpers would try to stay out of his way except for the butlers, and very few of them even dared to stay near him for more than two minutes.
However, the master that they were seeing today was vastly different – was it because of that young gentleman? If that was the case, then perhaps it wouldn’t be too much of a shock for their master to react that way.
After the couple had their lunch, Changning’s interest was still raging. He coaxed and pestered Yushang to do his own things and promised that he would be back an hour later. After getting his wish, Changning begun his adventurous journey.
The dedicated butler followed along with Changning and fulfilled his role as a tour guide, answering every question that Changning had in mind.
An hour passed very quickly as the butler politely reminded his master that it was about time to look for his husband.
And so, while Changning was debating internally with the term husband, he did obediently return to the residence to find his lover.
When the doors to the study room was opened, Changning had a smile plastered on his face as he walked over to Yushang.
Yushang took his lover’s hands and motioned him to sit on his lap, “Enjoying your time?”
“Hm, it’s too amazing here. I think if there’s plots about ancient castles in my novels, I would know what to write now.”
“That much inspiration?”
“Of course.” Changning’s eyes sparkled as if he had all the knowledge sealed within them, “It’s not believable if I write things that I’ve never experience before. But if I use my real experience to and use words to express them, then the whole feeling would be completely different.”
Yushang reached out his finger to pinch his lover’s nose, “I know you’re very eloquent in language, so I decided to bring you here. I want you to have fun while gaining some valuable experience.”
Changning pressed a gentle kiss on Yushang’s cheeks, “Thank you, for giving a thought for me.”
The older man returned a nudge on his lover’s cheek, “I’ll do anything for you, as long as you’re happy.”
The couple exchanged a long and passionate kiss and just before Yushang had lost his rationality, he decisively let go of his little lover and pulled Changning into a hug as he calmed himself down.
Changning who was unaware of what he had just escaped from and had avoided the fate of getting devoured by the older man, enjoyed the warmth and pampering that Yushang provided.
Yushang who later calmed down, took Changning to the bedroom where there was a super large-sized bed. Yushang pulled Changning into an embrace as they gradually fell asleep.
When Changning woke up, it was already four in the afternoon. He touched the side of the bed to find that it was cold. Seemed like Yushang had woken up for quite some time.
Noticing the sound coming from inside the room, the butler knocked on the door and walked into the room with the helpers after gaining permission from Changning. They promptly assisted him for a quick washup.
Knowing that Yushang was in the study room settling his work matters, Changning changed his clothes and then went on to look for his husband.
When Yushang who was burying himself with work saw his energetic lover, he couldn’t help but feel blissful in his heart, “Have you slept well?”
“Hm. When did you woke up? Why not sleep awhile more?”
“I just woke up not long ago. There’s some matters to settle.”
“Managing such a listed company must be tiring, isn’t it?”
“It’s okay, I got used to it.” seeing how worried Changning was, Yushang pulled his lover into his arms, “Is Changning worrying about me?”
Changning tried to push the man away but failed, so he gave in and relaxed into those arms, “You wished. Who would worry about you.” He grumbled as his gaze turned elsewhere.
Yushang tightened his hold on his lover and planted a kiss on his face, “Thank you babe.”
Since when did this fellow become so emotional? He wondered, “There’s no need for that. You’re the one who said that we’re husband and wife now, right?”
“Yeah, we’re husband and wife now. The kind of relationship that have the closest ties between us. So, babe, how long are you planning to let me wait?”
It was obvious that Changning knew what Yushang was referring about, but he still felt that he wasn’t prepared yet. Plus, who would mention such things so blatantly? Won’t he feel embarrassed? “W-What are you saying, I-I don’t understand.”
Yushang knew that his lover was still nervous or maybe even scared about it, so he did not plan on forcing him, to put those thoughts aside for now and accompany his lover to relax for the next few days. “You’re smart, Changning. How could you not understand what I’m trying to say? Then again, since Changning wasn’t prepared yet, we shall enjoy ourselves for a few more days first, as long as you’re happy.”
Feeling relieved after hearing Yushang’s words and knowing that he would not force him, Changning then replied, “Hm, I want to see that lavender field, that Chinese parasol tree and I heard there’s a lot of fountains here. I want to see those too.”
Seeing how relieved his lover was, left Yushang unsure if he wanted to laugh or cry. He knew that he was almost at his limit and hoped that he would not mess things up in the end. Yushang sighed defeatedly in his heart as he gave in to his troublesome lover, “Sure. I’ll accompany you to see those things. Then, give your husband some reward, okay babe?”
Watching how defeated Yushang was, Changning felt like laughing yet worried that his husband might get upset, so he returned a generous kiss as a form of comfort.
After they had dinner, Yushang accompanied Changning as the strolled around the castle.
The couple held their hands together as they slowly walked along the pathway. The rings on their hand sparkled under the evening moonlight as it complimented one another. “Yushang, you’re saying that this castle’s yours? When did you buy it?”
“It was a gift to my grandfather from his old friend. Back then it was my sixteenth birthday so old gramps gave it to me as a birthday present. If I must deal with some work in France, I would visit here once or twice.”
“Grandpa must dote on you a lot, otherwise he wouldn’t have given you such a big present.”
“Hm. I grew up along side with my grandfather, so I do have a close relationship with him and granny dotes on me a lot too.”
“I can see that. Granny’s love for you is not on the normal range. So, thanks to you, granny values me too.” Changning said with honor.
“Granny dotes you because of your talent and personality. Your status as my lover is secondary. I’m the one who felt honored.”
Taken aback by how shameless Yushang was, Changning suddenly felt embarrassed, “Who compliments their own people in such a way, aren’t you scared of getting laughed by others?”
“But my Changning is a highly talented man, my dearest babe. Of course, he’s the best. Those people are just jealous that they can’t catch your attention.”
“I can’t believe your skin is thicker than the castle walls.”
Yushang did not mind the refute as he wrapped his hand on Changning’s waist. They strolled along and made small talks. Yushang introduced the castle’s history, the past owners and the glory and darkness that the castle had experienced. Changning listened intently as interrupted occasionally as he continued listening to Yushang’s deep voice, telling those touching stories.
When it was about nine in evening, Yushang brought Changning back to their bedroom and dismissed the butlers and helpers. He personally helped Changning with the bathtub water and the pajamas then pushed him into the bathroom, letting Changning to wash up on his own.
When Changning came out in his sleeping attire, Yushang then took over the hairdryer to dry his hair. When it was all done, he tucked his lover onto the bed and went to wash up on his own.
After a few minutes, Yushang walked out from the bathroom as they were some water dripping off his hair. Changning took over the towel and to dry off his hair in a gentle and serious manner.
When they were done, Yushang then took away the towel from Changning’s hand and placed them onto the side cabinet. Then, the couple shifted themselves underneath the blanket as Yushang switched off the lights, leaving only one dimmed wall lamp on.
The room was surrounded with ambiguous atmosphere. Underneath the blankets, Yushang’s warm hands were gently caressing Changning’s waist, drawing circles as he smoothed along the skin.
Changning’s slightly tensed body betrayed his nervousness. Even though they had been sleeping together for some time, but such intimate touches like today was a first time. Yushang’s big hands moved along as if it was filled with magic, making those skin tingled as his hands touched them.
Yushang then flipped his lover over and leaned down on Changning. He locked their lips together as they shared a passionate kiss that was different from usual. The kiss was overbearing and rough as if hoping to blend their bodies together. Yushang caught his lover’s lips as he nibbled them harshly, drawing a little irony taste in his mouth mixing with the growing desires.
Those warm hands slipped underneath Changning’s shirt as it caressed the soft skin. It moved towards those pointy nubs as Yushang gently squeeze on them. Changning subconsciously moaned softly, making Yushang’s body even more tensed than ever.
His other hand moved long the loose sleeping pants and then slipped under the soft material. Brushing through those coarse hair and firmly wrapping his fingers onto that erected member.
Changning trembled as all his senses were focused on that one part of his body. Along with Yushang’s stroking him, the sensation built up as the first release arrived very quickly.
The inexperience body relaxed limply as Changning panted heavily, trying to calm the intensity that his desires had ignited.
Yushang pulled his lover’s hand and wrapped them around his hard member. Those slightly cold fingers touching on his heated skin made Yushang moaned in pleasure. He guided those hands to stroke along his member and just when Changning’s hands were getting tired, Yushang grunted softly and ejaculated onto their hands and clothes.
Yushang relaxed himself onto Changning’s body and recollected himself after a few minutes. He gently leaned forward to kiss his lover’s forehead that was covered in small beads of sweat. The lips then moved onto his eyebrows, his nose and finally onto those slightly swollen lips, gently licking and sucking them for a long time.
Changning moved his sticky body to protest the main culprit for neglecting his duties as well as telling Yushang that he was feeling uncomfortable.
Yushang chuckled with his deep, hoarse voice as he spoke into Changning’s ears, “Babe, do you feel good?”
The blush on Changning’s cheeks became even deeper as he gently pushed away the man lying on top of him. Changning’s voice was slightly hoarse as well after their first intimate interaction, as he replied like he was whining, “Stop saying that, it’s all your fault. Get up quickly, it’s hot.”
Knowing that it was the first time that his lover had experienced what had happened, Yushang kissed on the edge of Changning’s lips and continued asking, “Tell me, did I serve you well? If you don’t say it, I won’t get up. It’s not that bad sleeping like that too.”
Is it really okay for a chairperson to act so shamelessly? Changning thought mindlessly but gave in to coax his husband, otherwise they might end up sleeping just like that, “Hm, it’s good.”
Yushang returned a satisfied kiss on his lover’s face, “Receiving a praise from my wife is something worth celebrating for a lifetime.”
And so, the Chairman Shang who got his sweet taste of love and his wife’s approval, giddily went off to help his wife clean up again, changed the bed sheets, not forgetting a goodnight kiss and then blissfully went to sleep with his wife.
