Chapter 5 Awkward Silence

"Please wait for me here, Mr. Xiao," Wang Yibo said and hurriedly left the car upon reaching the cheap hotel he rented earlier even before Xiao Zhan could say a word. He was very thankful that he rented another hotel. Tsk tsk.

Xiao Zhan followed his gaze to the man who entered the hotel. Until now, he could not figure out his motive. He dialed a number on his phone, soon the call connected.

"Send me current details about CEO Wang Yibo of B City. Give me an answer as soon as possible." Then Xiao Zhan hung up the phone without giving any chance for Zu Zhan to reply. He took a stick of a cigarette then opened the window at his side. He smoked while waiting for his 'secretary'.

Zu Zhan on the other side was taken aback. He thought that refusing his boss was not an option. But somehow he was very curious about why his boss wanted to know about WANYIE Group's CEO whereabouts. Now, even he got curious.

Seeing Wang Yibo come back from the hotel, Xiao Zhan narrowed his gaze and looked at the man walking to the car. Now he could see him clearly without him noticing it. He was very satisfied with his looks, really pleasant to the eyes. And he could not take away his gaze.

Damnit.

This man. I like him so much.

However, Wang Yibo was in a daze. He wasn't afraid but he felt some kind of nervousness inside of him. Too many things occupying his mind. He doesn't want to fool Xiao Zhan anymore.

What should I do?

"What are you waiting for?" Xiao Zhan asked the dazed man. "Hurry up and get inside. It's getting cold outside."

Wang Yibo immediately came back to his senses and did what was told.

The night was long.

Wang Yibo carefully followed Xiao Zhan who removed his shoes and entered the wide bachelor's pad house. So he also removed his shoes before entering the house.

"Is this your residence?"

"Yes. This is one of my residences in the City. I also have a villa but there's no reason to live in a very big house. I prefer living alone here," Xiao Zhan explained with a proud smile.

The interior decorations were all neat and classy. With the touch of unique and very high-quality products. Glass walls were all over the place, and high technology gadgets were all in their designated places. Actually, all the details of the house from exterior to interior designs were his choices.

"You have good taste," Wang Yibo cannot hide the admiration in his voice.

"Did you like the designs?" Xiao Zhan carefully asked. He sat on the soft couch in the living room and gestured to Wang Yibo to sit and feel comfortable.

Wang Yibo sat down but was confused.

Why is this man treating me so kindly?

Wasn't I am only a secretary?

"Yes. But I'm wondering, Mr. Xiao. Do you often treat your staff so well?" Wang Yibo cannot help but question his curiosity.

Xiao Zhan smiled and replied, "I feel comfortable with you so I'm treating you well." Emphasizing the word 'you' to make Wang Yibo understand that he only meant him and him alone. He stood up and walked to his room but stopped before opening the door, looked at Wang Yibo intensely, and said in a low voice, "Be my companion. I'm lonely." Then he entered the room to take a bath and to change his clothes.

Xiao Zhan's husky voice did not escape Wang Yibo's ears. His heart suddenly jumped off his chest. He swallowed hard.

What is this feeling?

Why does the house suddenly feel very hot?

Wang Yibo stood up with trembling knees and walked to the balcony. He looked at the moon in the sky for a few minutes then he took out his phone and called his girlfriend. He needed someone to ease the uneasiness inside of him.

"Hi honey, how are you?" he asked right after the call connected.

"Hon! Where are you?! I went to your office but no one knows where you are. I cannot contact you the whole day!" Tin Veeh's angry voice roared from the other side of the phone.

Wang Yibo immediately pulled away from the phone from his ears or he will be deaf.

"I have some important matters to do. I'm away for a few days so don't look for me. I'm not in the city. I called to let you know that I'm fine. I'll hang up now, take care, Honey. Bye."

He ended the call immediately.

Sigh. Wrong move.

If not because of the arranged marriage their parents have planned for them since he was young, he would never like to marry her. It's not that she was undesirable but he simply didn't like her as a partner. Marriage was a sacred union of two people, for him, he wanted to be with the person he loved for the rest of his life. Not because of an arranged marriage. He wanted to feel how to love and be loved, even though he was a CEO, in his heart, he dreamed of a happy married life.

"Are you scared of me?" Xiao Zhan found Wang Yibo on the balcony after he changed his clothes. Seeing him so helpless, he felt guilty.

"Why should I? Are you a devil?"

"Haha, do I look like one? Look at me," Xiao Zhan demanded.

Wang Yibo turned around and looked at the man not far away from him. Wearing a pair of black silk pajamas while wiping a towel on his wet hair. He blinked many times and his throat went dry.

This man! What is he doing to my senses?!

"I wanted to rest if you may," Wang Yibo politely said, trying his best to keep calm.

"I already told you, I need a companion." Xiao Zhan pointed to the door beside his room and continued, "Use that room, do your thing and come back here. Let's have some drinks. You aren't going to refuse me, don't you?"

Could I refuse? Wang Yibo thought, then he squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhan carefully. He had something in his mind but he refused to say it so he went to the room instead and brought his things. Once in the room, he felt conflicted although the room was quite comfortable because it was manly and very neat, his heart was in a mess.

Following his gaze at Wang Yibo's back entering the room, Xiao Zhan grinned. He really liked him a lot.

He looked at the sky and wondered why he was feeling that way. It was the first time he felt so interested in a man. Never in his entire life had he felt that kind of affection, even towards his girlfriend.

Am I abnormal?

Remembering Wang Yibo's face, Xiao Zhan could not help but smile broadly.

What should I do to ease this curiosity?

When his stomach growled, he ordered food from the restaurant and went to the kitchen to prepare the drinks. He just wanted to drink a bit and have some talk with Wang Yibo. Nothing more.

Also, he wanted Wang Yibo to confess the truth about himself.

Thirty minutes later, the delivery food arrived, just in time when Wang Yibo left his room.

"Let's eat. Come here."

Xiao Zhan called Wang Yibo as soon as he saw him walking out of his room. He was wearing black shorts and a white t-shirt. No air of arrogance nor elegance in his outfit, very simple and homely. His messy damped hair increases his charisma.

He looked away immediately and pretended on preparing the table. His heartbeat was beating fast.

Initially, he wanted to drink but his mind suddenly changed so Xiao Zhan said, "Let's eat so we can take a rest afterward," with a trembling voice and not daring to look at Wang Yibo's blue eyes.

Wang Yibo was confused.
