Chapter 69
When he reached the end of the spiral staircase, his fingers suddenly felt empty, and a feeling of disappointment even rose in Yoder. He helped Feng Fei Ming walk inside the room while twiddling his fingers distractedly.
This was the pure childish emotion that people with heavy hearts like Yoder wanted and expected the most.
Yoder looked at Feng Fei Ming with a complicated gaze, who was oblivious to the love poem on the armrest. He was unaware that his gaze was actually mixed with a bit of jealousy.
He opened his mouth, thinking that to have the entire handrail neatly engraved with letters, the young man must have prepared for a long time. So, it seemed that he should notify Feng Fei Ming, who was not aware of this.
But for some reason, Yoder didn’t end up saying anything about it.
He helped Feng Fei Ming sit on the bed, and even though he entered his beloved’s bedroom, Yoder’s heart unexpectedly could not raise any thoughts.
He even turned his head to avoid Feng Fei Ming’s gaze and casually chatted with Feng Fei Ming: “You are now in a difficult situation, but if you get……”
“Fei Ming!” The door of the room opened, and the brown-haired teenager barged in. Behind him was the cold-faced butler.
Feng Fei Ming did not even notice that the moment Shen Mingye barged in, he moved his body back, pulling a distance between himself and Yoder.
Yoder also did not notice Feng Fei Ming’s movements because he also focused on the youth. Looking at the eyes that only reflected Feng Fei Ming’s figure, a slight bitterness somehow emerged from him.
There is a marriage contract between him and Shen Mingye, isn’t there? This thought somehow popped up in Yoder’s mind again, bringing him not the usual disgust but some lingering helpless emotions.
But……Shen Mingye has never acknowledged their marriage contract. Now, he has even made a formal statement to invalidate their marriage contract.
Yoder, who was originally happy because of the marriage contract’s dissolution, is now full of bitterness.
Looking at the two people’s eyes suddenly both on himself, the teenager seems to finally realize the rudeness of his actions. Embarrassed, he lowered his head and said to Feng Fei Ming: “I watched Mr. Yoder help you in, so I was worried about what happened to you……”
“It’s fine. I’m just a little tired.” Feng Fei Ming beckoned towards Shen Mingye, signaling him to come over. Yoder’s concern brought Feng Fei Ming the joy of conquering a strong man, while the youth’s sincerity brought Feng Fei Ming a heart full of warmth and flattery.
Yoder nodded towards the young man in a complicated mood and then continued his conversation with Feng Fei Ming. “If you get the Patterson family’s head token, it should be easy to calm down the turmoil within the family.”
As soon as Yoder’s words came out, Feng Fei Ming’s eyes flashed a dark look.
How could he not want to get his hands on the family head token? The turmoil of the past few days had long made this thought run wild in Feng Fei Ming’s heart. But he still didn’t mention it to Shen Mingye because with Feng Fei Ming’s cautiousness, he would rather find out the information and get the token himself than let Shen Mingye, who might be on his opposite side, know his thoughts and take action.
In addition, Feng Fei Ming had not yet noticed another worry in his heart. In case he directly asked Shen Mingye for it, would the youth be angry and disappointed when he knew of his desire to completely control the Patterson family?
Now Yoder’s words solved all of Feng Fei Ming’s worries, both by asking Shen Mingye for the token and by perfectly preserving Feng Fei Ming’s image.
Suddenly hearing Yoder mention this, Shen Mingye, who was listening intently to the conversation between the two, froze and subconsciously said, “The token……I……”
Feng Fei Ming looked with a critical gaze at the young man who seemed to be still thinking about Yoder’s words, and his eyes slowly darkened. If the young man really loved him as much as he showed, he would definitely present the family head token with both his hands, wouldn’t he?
Fei Ming had already decided that if the youth really did not hesitate to give him the family head token, in the future, even after he was with Yoder, he would never treat the boy poorly.
If……as he thought of another possibility, Feng Fei Ming lowered his eyes to cover the coldness in his eyes.
Even though he thought this in his heart, Feng Fei Ming said, “That is something left to him by Mingye’s parents. I can’t take it.”
Hearing Feng Fei Ming’s words, Qing Yun wanted to laugh out loud. The token was a relic left to him by Shen Mingye’s parents, but the Patterson family’s property was not?
The sarcasm in his heart was going to overflow, but his face showed anxiety and apprehension mixed with thinking. Shen Mingye opened his mouth but eventually bowed his head in silence.
Feng Fei Ming has been watching him. He saw that the young man’s eyes were entwined with apprehension mixed with doubt and did not say anything the whole time. His heart slowly plunged downward.
Shen Mingye’s silence simply splashed Feng Fei Ming with a bucket of cold water. The warmth that had just risen in his heart over the past two days shattered with nothing left.
Feng Fei Ming even snickered in his heart. Even if you don’t want to give, why pretend that you don’t know what they are talking about?
Even though this result made Feng Fei Ming feel a rare hint of pain, he was not too surprised and even had a feeling that this was really the case rising in his heart.
Feng Fei Ming’s eyes were dark as he looked at Shen Mingye.
No one would give such sincere and passionate emotions for free, would they? His suspicions have been correct since the beginning.
Yoder was also watching Shen Mingye’s expression. It should be said that his attention had been on him since he came in. Unlike what Feng Fei Ming thought in his mind, Yoder felt that the confusion and the desire to speak in the youth’s eyes did not look fake. This confusion was not like not understanding what they were saying, but rather like an effort to remember and think.
It seems like an effort to try to remember what the important information is.
"
"
Yoder even laughed at the distressed expression on the boy’s face. This child would not have forgotten where the family’s head token had been put, right?
In fact, Shen Mingye really forgot, so much so that Qing Yun is now trying to search his memory only to get some vague information.
In the end, Feng Fei Ming excused himself to rest and kicked both of them out.
His suspicious nature made him not give trust to anyone. For this reason, the very same reaction of Shen Mingye had a very different effect in the eyes of Yoder and the eyes of Feng Fei Ming.
Feng Fei Ming’s gaze at Shen Mingye slowly turned cold as he closed the door to the room. Sure enough, he shouldn’t have any expectations for this person’s feelings.
There was clearly nothing to give, but he acted like a victim and labeled Shen Mingye as a liar just because of his momentary hesitation.
On the hallway, outside the door, Shen Mingye called out to Yoder. His fingers squeezed the hem of his coat as he wanted to say something.
Yoder looked at the person who had taken the initiative to call out to him for the first time, his eyes smiling and his tone gentle: “What is it?”
Ahaz stood behind the teenager. When he looked at Yoder’s smile, he simply wanted to smash this face.
In the beginning, he went out of his way to find himself and ask for the dissolution of the marriage contract, but now he is smiling so gently at the youth. Is there something wrong with this person?
A great sense of crisis rose in Ahaz’s heart. He suddenly realized that although he followed the young man from time to time in the robot’s body, but in a real sense, compared to Yoder and Feng Fei Ming, Ahaz himself was still a stranger to the teenager, wasn’t he?
“That……marriage contract……” The other’s words made the smile on Yoder’s face fade. He remembered that he had previously given the youth a promise that he would find a way to persuade his family to recognize his marriage contract’s dissolution.
"
"
Now the young man pulled him, what he wanted to ask was actually this matter?
“Father is not available these days, so I have not been able to see him.” After dropping such a sentence, Yoder left without staying much longer.
As he descended the stairs, the love poem on the stairs once again reached Yoder’s mind with the touch of his palm, but this time his heart was surprisingly stifled.
The young man can break through his shyness for Feng Fei Ming and express his love in such a passionate and romantic way, but for his actual fiancé, the few occasional conversations are all about breaking off the marriage contract?
Looking at Yoder’s subtly bitter back and then at Feng Fei Ming’s closed room door, Qing Yun pulled out a sarcastic smile.
The heartache that Shen Mingye had experienced, he wanted to make these two people taste it all, and this was just the beginning.
After walking into his room, Qing Yun began to rummage through the boxes.
After entrusting the token to that organization for safekeeping, Shen Mingye’s father had long ago given Shen Mingye the code number to retrieve it. He was also afraid that Shen Mingye would forget, so he wrote the code number on a piece of paper to keep well.
Unfortunately, Shen Mingye really does not care about this kind of thing. At first, he thought about storing it properly, and as a result, he did not even remember where he had placed it.
Just now in Feng Fei Ming’s room, seeing the young man’s silence, Ahaz guessed that he had forgotten about the item.
Because no one understands the teenager better than Ahaz. He is really not interested in the money and power that others tend to be interested in. This token, which symbolizes the Patterson family head’s status, is estimated to be less precious in Shen Mingye’s eyes than a book by a great novelist of the last century.
“Forget it if you can’t find it. You should go down and have something to eat. Just now, you were too focused and missed lunch.” Ahaz looked at the youth who kept searching around in the room and approached him with a warm voice.
"
"
This kind of persuasion often occurred these days because Shen Mingye would be immersed in creation and willfully refused to eat, so Ahaz had to persuade him painstakingly like an old mother.
Although the youth is the primary master of the robot butler, his safety is the highest task. If Shen Mingye really willfully ignores Ahaz’s reminders again and again, Ahaz will have to use some “tough” methods.
Just like now, Ahaz wrapped his arm around Qing Yun’s waist. He carried the young man who had gotten into the cracks of the bookcase into his arms, ignored his struggle, and took him to dinner forcefully.
“What are you doing? Let go!” Qing Yun’s eyes widened at the man’s unexpected action, and he unkindly tugged at the man’s bow tie.
The tightness of the bow tie does not cause any discomfort to the man in the robot’s body. The man easily restrained Shen Mingye’s struggle and turned the youth in his arms. He also circled the thin ankles before lowering his head to the other’s ear and saying in a warm voice: “Look, the Young Master should eat well.”
Somehow hearing teasing from the man’s flat tone, Qing Yun gritted his teeth, but he quickly calmed down, looked at the man, and inwardly snickered. When he learns the man’s true identity, this man will spend the rest of his life kneeling on durian!
Ahaz, who has always been sensitive to certain danger signals, finally put the young man down gently under a certain ominous feeling.
Qing Yun glanced at him with a smirk and a cold hum before sitting at the table and prepared to eat.
Ahaz looked at the young man’s capricious and arrogant eyes and felt a tingle in his heart. Recently, Shen Mingye has become more and more casual with him. Ahaz especially liked the other’s unrestrained manner. Still, while he was relieved, he was also vaguely worried that if the youth knew his true identity, would he still treat him like this now?
After serving Qing Yun with his meal, Ahaz’s gaze swept through the young man’s tossed objects in the room. In fact, even if he could not find the code, it does not matter. If the teenager wants it, the Patterson family’s family head token would be perfectly placed on his desk tonight.
But…… he didn’t want to make it easy for Feng Fei Ming.
