8 THE BLOOD-CHURNING REUNION (1/2)

”Oh!” Xuan Tianyi said nonchalantly. Still staring into Hua Zhendan's face, he quickly added, ”Xuan Tianmei isn't here, she's running an errand.”

Hua Zhendan frowned, disappointed at Xuan Tianyi's lack of reaction. Was it that Xuan Tianyi was expecting to see him here, so he wasn't surprised or was it that Xuan Tianyi didn't recognize him at all? The possibility of either conjecture being true was equally appalling.

”Okay,” Hua Zhendan said as he moved his body from the doorframe and walked towards Xuan Tianyi. If Xuan Tianyi didn't recognize him, he'd make him.

”Have we met before?” he asked.

Xuan Tianyi looked up at him and chuckled. He then said, ”You don't look bad at all. As a matter of fact, you're my type. If you want to grab a drink together later, you just need to ask.”

Hua Zhendan frowned. He knew firsthand what this shameless person was trying to imply. It was possible that Xuan Tianyi didn't recognize him. Scrap that, it was evident that Xuan Tianyi didn't remember him.

Was he such a lousy fuck that one night had been so unmemorable for Xuan Tianyi?

Shit! He probably hit on people in this manner all the time. Was there any person sane enough that he would be able to resist the charm and beauty this man exuded? Xuan Tianyi probably had so many partners all the time. It was no surprise he didn't remember him.

While he had managed to build a home in his head for the both of them to live in that night, Xuan Tianyi had already moved on to the next person. Or people.

Xuan Tianyi sighed and said, ”If you're shy, then I'll ask. Do you want to grab a drink together later? Hmm, the bill's on you though,” he chuckled, seemingly embarrassed.

This combination of aggression and embarrassment was usually guaranteed to make anyone's blood boil. Xuan Tianyi knew that. It wasn't something he faked though. It came naturally to him. It was his charm that's worked on many men in the past. Surprisingly, Hua Zhendan seemed unmoved.

He moved closer to Zhendan's ear and whispered, ”I'm versatile.”

Pained, Hua Zhendan stared into the unapologetically pretty face of Xuan Tianyi and asked, ”So, you don't know who I am at all?”

Surprised at this question, Xuan Tianyi moved backward and stared at Zhendan. With a quizzical look on his face, he asked, ”Who are you?”

Hua Zhendan bit his tongue. It would be shameful to say he was a one-night-stand Xuan Tianyi didn't call back. He looked at him and said in a bitter tone, ”I'm Xuan Tianmei's boss, Zhendan.”

The effect of this sentence wasn't one Hua Zhendan would have predicted. He watched as the Xuan Tianyi who was being so provocative just moments ago recoiled and was now as shaky as a mouse drenched with water.

”I... I'm sorry. I didn't know,” Xuan Tianyi stammered.

Satisfied at his reaction, Hua Zhendan chuckled. If he knew he could get the other person's submission with this method, he would've tried it a long time ago. Perhaps that night they met. Perhaps Xuan Tianyi wouldn't have dared to forget him so carelessly. ”What's your name?”

Looking down, Xuan Tianyi stammered again, ”Xu... Xuan Tianyi. I'm Xuan Tianmei's brother — twin brother.”

Feeling enlightened, Hua Zhendan gave Xuan Tianyi alingering look. It was rare for male and female twins to look identical, but Xuan Tianyi and Xuan Tianmei did. Both had the same height, same upper and lower body lengths, the same face, and while Xuan Tianyi could be said to be a pretty guy — as he was more beautiful than he was handsome, he came out slightly in the essential parts of the human anatomy where Xuan Tianmei went in. This pair had to be the most beautiful set of twins heaven ever created.

Hua Zhendan stared at Xuan Tianyi, with bitterness and hatred burning his heart. He nodded and said, ”I see.”

He stared at Xuan Tianyi who now looked feeble and calm. With a face and body like this, he could easily pique Calvin Klein's interest in his agency.
