Chapter 143: Chapter 143 : Feng Jietang’s First Scandal

It just had to be Lang Yuxuan.

Feng Jietang was so shocked that he almost let out a scream.

Thankfully, he was able to stop himself in the last second.

And then, he almost choked from fright when a voice piped up somewhere above him.

"Interesting development."

Yan Renzhong, cuddling Shen Jingwei in his arms, was lying on the couch with his head propped up his elbow. He shot Feng Jietang a knowing smile, bordering on devious.

Feng Jietang crawled backward on his arms and legs, distancing himself from Lang Yuxuan with a remarkable speed.

"I didn’t do anything!" He hissed at Yan Renzhong urgently, as if trying to convince the latter.

Yan Renzhong’s smile grew wider.

"Are you sure?"

"I mean..."

Feng Jietang looked down at himself and saw that he was still fully clothed. So was Lang Yuxuan.

He heaved a sigh of relief.

"We didn’t do anything," he confirmed with absolute certainty.

"To be frank, that is quite a bold assumption. A kiss, for example, is still something," Yan Renzhong remarked. "It’s not exactly nothing."

"..."

"What about a heavy make-out session? It still counts as something."

Feng Jietang turned as pale as blank, unsullied paper. "Did I?" He gaped at Yan Renzhong before turning to look at Lang Yuxuan, who was still sleeping soundly. "Did we...?"

Yan Renzhong shifted his position on the couch, careful not to wake Shen Jingwei up. He shrugged.

"If you don’t remember, you can only ask Lang Yuxuan. Let me give you a word of advice, Feng Jietang. Our industry demands a high level of propriety from their celebrities. You wouldn’t want to run away from your responsibility as a man."

"I... I..."

The knot at Feng Jietang’s throat bobbed up and down rapidly.

How did a fun night of watching TV spiral down into a disaster?

What the hell happened last night?

Ahhhhhhhh...!!!

"Not to mention that you are a seasoned actor and Yuxuan is but a newcomer. From a rival company to boot. If you don’t take a good care of him, your reputation is going to be ruined."

Feng Jietang gaped at Yan Renzhong in disbelief.

"I..."

Yan Renzhong was basking in schadenfreude for a good minute before Shen Jingwei stirred awake.

He pushed himself off Yan Renzhong’s chest, rolled to the other side, and almost tumbled from the couch.

Fortunately, Yan Renzhong’s sturdy pair of arms were there to pull him back to safety.

"Careful there. Good morning, my Jingbao," Yan Renzhong pressed a kiss against Shen Jingwei’s cheek.

Shen Jingwei lifted his hand and caressed along Yan Renzhong jawline.

"What kind of nonsense have you been feeding Feng Jietang...?"

Feng Jietang gaped at Shen Jingwei, who slowly opened his eyes and looked at him.

Behind him, Yan Renzhong burst into laughter.

"I didn’t feed him any sort of nonsense," he claimed.

"Of course you do, naughty Yan," Shen said, pursing his lips together in slight indignation.

"Nothing happened between the two of you last night," he clarified on the spot. Feng Jietang was so relieved that he almost collapsed then and there.

"Really?" He asked, his voice brimming with hope.

"Yes, really," Shen Jingwei confirmed.

"I was the last one of us to remain awake. I carried Senior Ye and Ruoye to my bed, and then I cover the both of you with the only other extra blanket I have. If anything, you might end up cuddling into each other during your sleep. Absolutely innocent."

"I don’t know about that," Yan Renzhong said as he lined up some kisses along Shen Jingwei’s neck. "Our cuddling has been far from innocent," he whispered, boldly biting into a sensitive spot on Shen Jingwei’s neck.

"Ah...!"

Shen Jingwei quickly got off the couch to escape Yan Renzhong’s seduction.

It was early in the morning and they were not alone, damn it!

Still shocked with his own predicament, Feng Jietang was too distracted to notice.

"Never again," he vowed. "In my three years of acting career, I have never found myself in such a compromising situation. I am going to repent, and change my ways for good."

"Good morningoahhhhmmmm..."

The three men turned to look at Ye Lingxia, who just emerged from the bedroom.

"Little Shen, thank you for being a gentleman. As a sign of my gratitude, I shall buy you a larger bed."

"..."

That was Ye Lingxia’s subtle way of saying that Shen Jingwei’s bed was smaller than her bathtub, and that he was too poor for her taste.

Lang Yuxuan and Lin Ruoye were the last to open their eyes.

As soon as they awoke, their stomachs started rumbling.

In response, Shen Jingwei raised both hands in resignation.

"I am deeply sorry, esteemed guests, but you depleted my food storage in a single night. I offer to buy you some breakfast through delivery service."

"No need," Ye Lingxia said with another big yawn. "I saw a breakfast stall nearby. Let us go there to eat something. My treat."

They washed their faces one by one and tidied their appearances as much as they could before going downstairs and heading toward the breakfast stall.

Two huge, three-tiered bamboo steamers stood in front of the stall, manned by an elderly couple.

"Young men, young women! Welcome, welcome. Feel free to pick the dumplings you want!" The elderly man cried out when the six people approached their stall.

"We have pork dumplings, chicken dumplings, and vegetable dumplings!"

"I will eat anything," Feng Jietang weakly said as he lowered himself onto an empty seat. "You guys can pick for me."

"Same," Yan Renzhong muttered. "I will wipe the bowls and chopsticks for all of us."

Left behind by the ladies, Lang Yuxuan, and Shen Jingwei, the two rivals stared at each other.

"It was not funny just now," Feng Jietang glared at Yan Renzhong.

Yan Renzhong snickered, flashing his teeth at Feng Jietang.

"Why are you such a tight-ass? I thought that you were used to holding a man."

"Not that it concerns you, but Little Shen is the only man I am comfortable to hold."

Yan Renzhong arched a brow at him.

"I see."

Feng Jietang clenched his jaw at the rival sitting before him.

"Little Shen told me about his feelings for you and I have accepted it. What about you? Do you love him or are you just toying with him again?"
