Chapter 64 (1/2)

“What do you intend to do, Zinan?” Sun Xi Mu lit a cigar and leaned back slowly against his chair.

“What do you say I should do?” The door was pushed open and the handsome man walked in, followed by his manager. He sat down on the double sofa and continued, “Which newspaper would dare publish such an article without your consent, Chief Sun?”

The manager dripped cold sweat. Was the Boss really behind this? What was his intention? Is he bored with Ou Zinan, so he wants to ruin him? What a sick rich man! Those in the room couldn’t help but look at Ou Zinan with sympathy.

Sun Xi Mu was indeed guilty as charged. But he had to do it, otherwise, there’d always be a sense of fear and uncertainty. He’d wanted to tell everyone in the world, ‘Ou Zinan is mine, you can’t have him’. He couldn’t stand seeing everyone’s fanatical looks, couldn’t stand that they were competing to chase his shadow, couldn’t stand the online mobs fantasizing about how they wanted to take Zinan to bed.

Every moment of the day, he lived in panic and torment, he only felt a moment of peace when they were deeply entangled. He never wanted to pull out from him, he just wanted to be one with him forever. All so he couldn’t suddenly disappear, so he couldn’t go somewhere he couldn’t follow.

But these ideas were inexplicable and crazy, Sun Xi Mu couldn’t say them to Ou Zinan. So, when he’d gotten the call from the newspaper, he didn’t know what to do, he panicked.

Now, he was uneasily awaiting his lover’s decision.

“You can do whatever you want.” He walked over to the sofa, and stooped to his lover’s shoulder.

Zhou Yun Sheng expressionlessly looked up at him, waiting for his guilty face to be full of cold sweat, before he slowly opened, “I want to hold a press conference and come out of the closet. Prepare it.”

“Out of the closet? With who?” Sun Xi Mu’s voice was hoarse.

“You’re asking with who? I’m going to announce our relationship. I’ll dare to come out of the closet, then go abroad to spread my wings. C’s Country market can kiss my butt.” Ou Zinan gave a contemptuous smile.

Lee Li and the manager looked the Boss, cold sweating. This proposal was too bold, their hearts were about to explode! Boss absolutely won’t agree. An artist coming out of the closet is nothing, a financial giant coming out of the closet would cause all of Sun’s stock to take a hit and the losses will be in the billions.

But the two were stunned again, Sun Xi Mu unexpectedly smiled. His smile was relaxed and revealed infinite pleasure. He took out a black velvet box from his suit pocket and handed it to the young man.

Zhou Yun Sheng wasn’t hypocritical, he opened the lid and put the pair of rings on their ring fingers.

“Do I need to kneel to propose?” Sun Xi Mu pulled his tie and seriously asked.

“If you’re willing.” Zhou Yun Sheng smiled.

Sun Xi Mu immediately knelt down, he held his lover’s left hand, pious, and gently kiss its back. The love overflowing from his eyes was suffocating. Lee Li and the manager couldn’t stand it, they hurriedly looked away and fled.

In the afternoon, in Sun’s five-star hotel, Ou Zinan held a press conference. He and Sun Xi Mu were side by side, wearing the same style of silver-gray suit and their hair was carefully combed, they looked radiant.

No one dared to pressure Sun Xi Mu, so the reporters’ questions were very restrained. When someone asked if the photo was true or false, Zhou Yun Sheng nodded at the microphone, “The photo is true, I like men”.

Somewhere in the country, someone cursed in front of the TV screen, someone started crying, others felt depressed, but no one could stop him from continuing.

“And my lover is now sitting by my side.” He put both hands on top of the table, and smiled a satisfied and gentle smile, “In my most helpless time, in my sadness and despair, when I was lonely, only he stood by my side and gave me selfless help. In this world, I can’t trust anyone, except him. I can’t love anyone else but him. There were no unspoken rules, no exchanges of interests or harassment. We are truly in love.”

In front of the TVs, the dissatisfied audience suddenly quieted. They remembered how Ou Zinan had fallen into despair. If not for Sun Xi Mu, would he have been destroyed? In such a situation, he really has no reason not to love Sun Xi Mu.

Sun Xi Mu’s heart trembled. It jumped wildly and almost burst from his chest in great joy, but his face only had a faint smile. He leaned over to the youth and printed a kiss on his forehead, then he slowly opened “Yes, we’re really in love, and we’re getting married. We won’t need anybody’s approval or blessings. This is the end of today’s press conference.”
