Chapter 61 - My Husband (1/2)

Ten minutes later, Zhong Yan felt like he had said the most number of refusals he ever did in his life.

“No, I’m not wearing it,” said Zhong Yan pitifully in the corner of the sofa as he held the rabbit.

“You promised me earlier, are you going back on your word?” Adrian was dressed in his black gold-rimmed formal military uniform and was holding a white terrycloth onesie.

The fabric was very soft, and there was even a hood on the fluffy set of pajamas. Two large bunny ears hung softly down from the top of the hood. One could tell at a glance that this was not designed for adults, but who knew why it was available in an adult’s size?

Adrian said, “I’ve already changed into my uniform, we promised to exchange.”

Zhong Yan raised the little rabbit to his eyes and pretended he never saw Adrian’s clothes. “Then quickly take it off. I didn’t see it, and I’m not looking!”

“Really?” Adrian stepped forward to take the rabbit away from his hands and placed it down on the coffee table. He stood in front of him and leaned down. “Then, I’ll take it off now, okay?”

He straightened his body and slowly undid the topmost golden button of his uniform. The former dignified abstinence was destroyed by that loose button, and there was a slight feeling of bold uninhibition added in now. Zhong Yan stared at his well-defined fingers without looking away, then up at his deep and tender eyes, only to feel the air getting hotter, and his breaths growing shorter.

But those hands stopped at the second button and stopped moving.

Zhong Yan had always been a very patient person, but he couldn’t bear it anymore in just a short dozen seconds. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you…stop?”

“Dear, you’ve been watching for so long.” Adrian reached out to stroke his cheeks and said in a gentle whisper, “You’re not going to tell me you haven’t seen it, right?”

Zhong Yan met his eyes, then, he suddenly felt like running away as soon as he found a gap. Adrian quickly grabbed his waist and secured him to his embrace with one hug. He moved close to Zhong Yan’s ears and chuckled. “What are you running for? You think you can run without paying for your meal?”

Zhong Yan who had failed to escape complained, “What kind of stupid clothes are you buying! If anyone photographs you…then wouldn’t everyone find out I’d be wearing that?!”

“Don’t worry, I had my guard buy it. I assure you nobody knows.” Adrian caught him with one hand and brought the pajamas over. “Hurry up, are you changing yourself or do you want me to put it on you?”

“Don’t wanna.”

Zhong Yan refused him outright. Adrian made a move as if he was going to take off his button, but Zhong Yan quickly reached out to stop him. While the two were messing about on the sofa, Adrian’s terminal suddenly sounded.

“What is it?” Adrian picked up and asked, his voice still sounded cheerful.

But after hearing what the other side had to say, his expression slowly turned serious. Zhong Yan who was resting in his embrace had also sat up when he saw his expression and put away his smile.

Adrian gave him a comforting look while he said, “Got it, I’ll head over immediately”

“What happened?” Zhong Yan asked as soon as Adrian ended his call. “You’re going to headquarters now?”

Adrian carried him up and returned him to the wheelchair. “No. I’m going to a nearby planet. Stay home like a good boy, okay? You don’t have to wait for me for dinner, and just sleep before me…”

Before he could finish, Zhong Yan managed to ask cautiously, “Did Qu Yongyi confess?”

Adrian was surprised, and said helplessly, “How are you so smart? Yeah, the person who was interrogating him just told me he was willing to testify, but he insisted on talking to me face to face. I’m going there now to the holding center nearby.”

“I’m going too,” Zhong Yan declared.

“No. You still haven’t recovered from your injuries completely, so just stay at home,” Adrian refused. But more importantly, he knew that Qu Yongyi definitely wouldn’t be in good shape after being interrogated for so many days. He didn’t want Zhong Yan to see things like this. The direct visual impact may make Zhong Yan think that he was a cruel man.

Zhong Yan insisted, “I want to go. I used to work with him and I’ve collected a lot of his biographical information. I might be able to help. What’s more…” He recalled the shocking moments of that day, and a look of hate could be seen flashing past his eyes. “In case you have no more use for him after he confesses, I want to be the one to fire the gun.”

Astonishment could be seen in Adrian’s eyes. He raised a brow. “Have you fired a gun before?”
