Luo Songran underestimated the extent to which this man controlled him. He wanted to run a few laps in the car park today, but to his surprise, when he entered, there were no cars at all. All that remained on the large track was a bumper car. Yes, the kind of bumper car you find in children’s amusement parks.

He stood expressionless by the side of the track, thinking about how to pick a fight with Duan Yizhou later. This couldn’t go on. He felt like he was going to lose his mind.

“Mr. Luo, long time no see,” the manager of the car park approached with a smile. “We’ve got a new car today, the only one of its kind in the world, custom-made for you. Would Mr. Luo like to try it out?”

Luo Songran looked at the manager with a deep gaze. “Are you serious? How much did Duan Yizhou pay you?”

The manager still smiled. “Mr. Duan pays our salaries.”

Luo Songran frowned. “What?”

“Mr. Duan bought the car park. From now on, this will be your exclusive car park. Mr. Duan said that there will only be one car here in the future, so you don’t have to worry about someone tricking you while you’re driving.”

Luo Songran was speechless. He really couldn’t believe this. “What if I want to ride a motorcycle?”

The manager was prepared. He beckoned, and a young man pushed out a motorcycle.

Luo Songran looked puzzled as he walked over to inspect the motorcycle carefully. After a thorough examination, his expression darkened. This was nothing but an adult version of a children’s motorcycle.

He turned and left the car park.

“Hey, Mr. Luo, aren’t you going to try the car?” the manager called after him.

Luo Songran walked away quickly, as if he were being chased by a ferocious beast.

He was going crazy. What was Duan Yizhou up to?

Not only that, but even at school, things were the same. Especially his roommates, their attitudes towards him had completely changed from before. They used to be carefree, but now they were cautious, almost treating him like a deity. They were attentive, serving him tea and water.

When he asked if they wanted to go out and play, their expressions were full of fear, as if it were some unforgivable sin.

“No, no, we’ve been studying a lot lately. We’ve decided to return to the dormitory promptly after 7 p.m. and not step out of the dormitory afterwards.”

“Yes, I’ve been preparing for the English proficiency test recently. I’ve decided to go to the library at 5 a.m., so don’t look for me for any entertainment activities that cost more than fifty cents recently, even if it’s free.”

“By the way, RanRanl, my five alpha brothers said they can’t come out temporarily either. They have to prepare for the provincial competition.”

Luo Songran was speechless. He couldn’t think of anyone else who would do this besides Duan Yizhou. Was this man retaliating against him for not abiding by the rules? It must be intentional.

Neptune Technology Group, Luo Songran parked his car at the entrance and walked straight into the lobby of the group. He was furious.

The security guard at the group immediately stepped forward to stop him from parking at the entrance. “Hello, who are you looking for?”

“I’m looking for Duan Yizhou,” Luo Songran said, lowering his eyes to the guard blocking his way. He reached out and brushed past him, then walked straight to the front desk and said to the receptionist, “Hello, please help me contact Duan Yizhou and tell him that Luo Songran is here to see him.”

The receptionist was startled by the imposing aura of the handsome young man in front of her. Could this be one of their boss’s romantic interests? With a smile, she asked, “Do you have an appointment?”

“I don’t think I need one. Just call him directly,” Luo Songran said.

The receptionist, upholding the company’s good service image, had no choice but to dial the internal line of the CEO’s office. As soon as the call was connected, she said, “Mr. Duan, there’s a young man named Luo Songran looking for you.”

The reply from the other end of the phone immediately changed her expression. After hanging up the phone, she quickly walked out from behind the front desk and approached Luo Songran with a perfect smile. “I apologize for the delay. Please follow me now.”

The CEO on the other end of the phone had said:

— In the future, when Luo Songran comes to the group, let him come up directly. He’s my husband.

Following the secretary to the exclusive high-rise elevator, Luo Songran happened to see someone getting off on the first floor. Suddenly, he felt very angry, his chest rising and falling with his breath. Even the elevator was making him angry.

The receptionist noticed something was wrong and quickly supported him. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Just then, as the elevator doors beside them opened, out came the CEO’s assistant, Jiang Yi. He froze for a moment when he saw Luo Songran, “Young Master? What are you doing here? Are you here to see Mr. Duan?”

“Take the elevator apart,” Luo Songran said calmly.

Jiang Yi, “What???”

Luo Songran remained expressionless and repeated, “Tell Duan Yizhou to dismantle the elevator today.” With that, he turned and left.

The receptionist was puzzled. Jiang Yi was at a loss. 

Ten seconds later, the executive elevator descended to the first floor, and the doors opened. Duan Yizhou stepped out, not noticing Luo Songran’s presence. “Where is he?” he asked.

“He’s gone,” the receptionist said awkwardly.

Duan Yizhou frowned, “Why?”

Jiang Yi hesitated before pointing at the elevator, “Your little friend said to dismantle the elevator. He wants you to dismantle it today.”

Duan Yizhou’s expression froze momentarily, “Why?”

The receptionist spoke truthfully, “I felt like he was in a bad mood. When I was about to take him up to see you, you happened to come down. The elevator had just gone up a second before we arrived here.”

Duan Yizhou fell silent.

Jiang Yi didn’t know how to react. Although he also found it absurd, “So…?”

“Dismantle it,” Duan Yizhou said.

Jiang Yi’s eyes widened, “Huh?”

Duan Yizhou replied calmly, “Give everyone the afternoon off today. Arrange for someone to come and dismantle the executive elevator.”

Jiang Yi was speechless. 

Truly, their CEO was becoming more and more unpredictable. Who spoils their spouse like this? The CEO next door really should learn something from him. Duan Yizhou had recently noticed that his little troublemaker at home, two months pregnant, was in the worst mood and appetite. Not only was he picky with food, but if he didn’t get what he wanted, his temper was particularly bad, and a bad temper led to outbursts.

Especially recently, he had been fond of mentioning abortion to provoke Duan Yizhou’s anger. Perhaps he just wanted to pick a fight with him, thinking he was being too controlling, deliberately provoking him. And he had to admit, sometimes he did give in to this little troublemaker’s pregnancy cravings, but sometimes he still got frustrated.

For example, he recently learned to cook two dishes for Luo Songran, both of which were his favorites, one was tomato beef stew and the other was shredded chicken. But no matter how he cooked, the result was always the same:

— It tastes bad.

There was even one time when this guy threw a tantrum and poured the freshly cooked dish right in front of him. In that moment, he suppressed his anger and chose silence. Not being angry or sad was impossible. He suppressed his emotions and silently cleaned up the dining table. In the end, he asked if this little troublemaker wanted to eat something else. The little troublemaker said he wanted to sleep, so he said, “Then go to sleep.”

After the little troublemaker fell asleep, he stood silently in the kitchen, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness. How could this be happening? Was there something he was doing wrong?

And such things continued.

Night fell.

“Why does this taste like this? It’s sweet and salty. Didn’t you taste it when you made it? It’s really bad.”

“I said I wanted cupped mousse, not cupped cake. Are these two the same?”

“Duan Yizhou, I’m really fed up with you. I said I don’t eat onions, why did you still add them?”

“Duan Yizhou, can’t you be more gentle? My waist really hurts.”

“Duan Yizhou, I found that you really can’t do anything. You can’t cook, you can’t massage, you can’t even please me!”

Wearing an apron and massaging his little troublemaker, Duan Yizhou couldn’t take it anymore. He moved his hands away from Luo Songran’s waist and took off his apron, throwing it onto the nearby coffee table with some force.

The commotion caught Luo Songran’s attention, and he glanced back, seeing the man’s stern face. His mood improved slightly, and he huffed, “What, can’t take it anymore? Abort it then.”

Duan Yizhou walked out without a word.

Seeing that Duan Yizhou had no reaction to his words, Luo Songran quickly stood up, glaring at his retreating figure, and scolded, “You dare to get angry with me? Show me a face? Where are you going?”

“To take a class.”

“What?” Luo Songran didn’t catch it and asked again.

Duan Yizhou turned around, facing the little troublemaker who seemed ready to worship the heavens, and said expressionlessly, “I said, I’m going to take a class on being a good husband, to learn from others.”

Luo Songran paused for two seconds upon hearing this, his lips slightly curved as if being coaxed, and then he raised his chin satisfactorily and beckoned Duan Yizhou over, “Come here.”

“What for?” Duan Yizhou thought he was a patient person, and the only one who could make him angry was Luo Songran, but he was also the one who had him wrapped around his finger.

Recently, Luo Songran had been mentioning abortion a lot, and while it made him angry, he absolutely couldn’t let go of this child. Because this child could completely integrate the super memory chip in Luo Songran’s body with him. Moreover, he was the child’s other father. Luo Songran was young, but he wasn’t. He was a thirty-two-year-old adult man, and he knew very well how much harm this would cause Luo Songran if he did this.

And if a beta casually aborted a child, it was very likely that he would never be able to conceive again in his life.

“Hug me,” Luo Songran opened his arms towards Duan Yizhou.

In the living room, this barefoot handsome young man was like a proud swan. It was clearly him who had done wrong, had a bad temper, was unreasonable and spoiled, but when he opened his arms to ask for a hug, he was completely helpless.

Duan Yizhou took a deep breath, exhaled, and repeated the process several times to suppress the anger that had been ignited by the past few days, then walked up to Luo Songran, gently and effortlessly hugged him as if holding a child.

Luo Songran wrapped his legs around Duan Yizhou’s waist, hugged his neck with his hands, and sat back in Duan Yizhou’s strong and powerful arms, looking down at him, “Don’t get angry with me.”

“Where would I dare to get angry with you?” Duan Yizhou replied helplessly, sitting down on the sofa, subconsciously protecting Luo Songran’s lower back so he wouldn’t lean back.

“Your face just now was so dark,” Luo Songran’s pretty face carried a displeased expression, frowning and accusing, reaching out to poke Duan Yizhou’s stiff chest, “You were angry with me.”

Duan Yizhou reached out and held Luo Songran’s hand, his disdain reflected in his eyes. “RanRan, I’ve been working hard to learn, learning to cook, learning to take care of you, learning to comfort you.”

“I know,” Luo Songran replied calmly. “You don’t have to learn. I don’t mind. Worst case scenario, we can just terminate the pregnancy. You won’t have any burden, and neither will I.”

After saying this, Luo Songran felt a bit smug because he knew he had angered the man, thinking he was immune to getting angry. But when he saw Duan Yizhou’s face darken completely, the grim expression made him feel a bit nervous. He lowered his gaze, puckered his lips, and muttered, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Luo Songran, you can be irresponsible to yourself, to me, and to your child, but I cannot be irresponsible to what I do, to you, and to this child,” Duan Yizhou said sternly. “You can throw tantrums all you want, but this is a life, not something to play around with.”

With that, he set Luo Songran down on the nearby sofa and stood up as if to leave.

“Hey hey hey—” Luo Songran immediately stood up and hugged his waist from behind. “Where are you going?”

Please don’t go to tattle on me to dad!

“To see a doctor!”

“Huh? Why see a doctor?”

Duan Yizhou took another deep breath. “To see a Chinese medicine doctor and check on my liver.”
