283: Harmony

Wang Ning'an asked: "What happened just now?"

The two were sitting in the lounge at the airport, waiting to board the plane. There was still around half an hour before their plane took off, so plenty of time. Although his intuition was not as sharp as Wang Cheng's, Wang Cheng's sudden movements served to tell Wang Ning’an that the man who just brushed past them was a little suspicious.

"I suspect that he has something to do with the people trying to steal the jade pendant, because he was specifically planning to snatch your luggage. After I switched positions with you, he didn’t have as good of an opening, so he gave up," Wang Cheng said.

"It seems like we are being tracked."

Wang Cheng nodded. "I was thinking the same thing. If this piece of jade is so important to them, there will also be many situations similar to this in the future."

Wang Cheng and Wang Ning'an were vigilant after this episode. However, the other party had no idea their thoughts were seen through.

Wang Cheng and Wang Ning’an’s tickets were first class. By the time they entered, half the passengers were already inside, putting their baggage away. However, the brothers didn’t bring any luggage, only a small case that Mama Wang requested for them to take, filled with special products.

Their seats were right next to each other. Wang Cheng first let his elder brother sit on the inside. When he was about to sit down, a woman that was in a rush accidentally bumped him. When Wang Cheng turned his head, the woman immediately said sorry with an apologetic expression.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to run into you."

Wang Cheng glanced at the woman, "It doesn't matter, just be more careful next time."

"Thank you, my apologies."

The woman apologized again, then wore a hesitant expression.

Wang Cheng acted as if he couldn’t see her.

The woman asked, "Sir, can I request something of you two?"

"What is your request?"

The woman glanced at Wang Ning'an, who was already resting, and said, “The thing is, I get a little airsick, so I usually sit near the window to feel a little better. But this time, my seat isn’t near the window. So I’d like to ask, could you ask your brother to switch seats with me?"

A meaningful glint flickered through Wang Cheng's calm eyes. Under the woman's expectant gaze, he said, "Sorry, no, my brother also gets airsick."

The woman seemed to choke a little, and her expression lost its congeniality. "Is that so? Then forget about it."

The woman hesitated for a moment before turning and leaving.

"That woman was quite suspicious," Wang Ning’an opened his eyes and said.

"Yeah, they were stupid enough to think that sending a woman over would lower our vigilance. As a result, she exposed their involvement even more obviously," Wang Cheng lightly mocked. He could call her bumping into him a coincidence, but there was something else that was strange about all this; ever since he’d gotten on the plane, he hadn’t called Wang Ning’an his elder brother once. However, the woman spoke as if she knew that Wang Ning'an was his brother. Clearly, she knew of their relationship in advance.

"This woman is most likely a pickpocket."

"How do you know?"

Wang Cheng said: "When she bumped into me, I felt her hand touch my pocket. She was quite quick, she must be a veteran. Now I am increasingly curious about the role of that jade pendant; why is the other party so determined to take it?"

"No matter what, our safety comes first."

Wang Ning'an was worried that, in the end, the other party would not hesitate to cross great lengths in order to achieve their goals.

"Don't worry, brother." Wang Cheng indifferently waved his hand. "The Imperial Capital is my territory. Since those people have investigated us, they must know my identity - if so, they will definitely not dare to appear as blatantly in front of us as they are appearing now. Also, do you still not recognize my ability? Even if five or six people fought together against me, they wouldn't be my opponent."

"Don't be afraid of what might happen 10,000 times, but what might happen just once*. No matter how good your fists are, can they compare to a gun? It's better for you to be careful," Wang Ning'an said.

[T/N: *don’t take things lightly, consider many consequences and possibilities.]

"Okay, I will try and be more careful."

Once the plane landed, Wang Cheng and Wang Ning'an walked out of the airport. It seemed like no one new was arranged to approach them. The other party was probably afraid of beating the grass and startling the snake too early, so there were no suspicious people around.

Chu Yifeng drove over to pick them up in person.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu," Wang Ning’an said politely.

"It’s no trouble to drive family members," Chu Yifeng replied, successfully choking Wang Ning'an.

Although Wang Ning'an already knew of the relationship between the two, he never spoke about it with Chu Yifeng. His impression of Chu Yifeng was limited to rumors, so even though the man was already together with his brother, he still wasn’t immediately close with him. Also, he’d always thought that Chu Yifeng was a very cold person.

"Big brother, we’re all family from now on, no need to be so polite to him," Wang Cheng said, snickering.

Wang Ning'an glared at him. Was he really his brother? Not even ashamed when saying such a thing.

Chu Yifeng dropped Wang Ning'an off at his apartment. Wang Cheng watched him go upstairs before leaving, rest assured. On the way back home, he called both sides of his family. By the time he hung up his phone, they had already driven up to Binhai Garden.

Wang Cheng had no intention of cooking so late at night, so Chu Yifeng ordered takeout.

"Has anything happened with my maternal aunt recently?" Wang Cheng scooped up his last bite of rice before serving himself another bowl. The rice they ordered was the finest rice, fragrant and soft - this was one of the reasons why he liked this restaurant’s takeout. He went to buy this same type of rice grain later on, but it didn’t turn out as fragrant and soft as the restaurant’s. Only then did he realize that they also used their own secret recipe when cooking the rice.

"Your grandfather now has a strict hold on her, so nothing has happened for the time being." Chu Yifeng added a handful of celery leaves into Wang Cheng's bowl. Wang Cheng couldn't just ignore it, so he ended up eating it. "This celery is quite tasty, you should try it as well."

Then he put a handful into Chu Yifeng's bowl. After trying it, Chu Yifeng found that it was not tasty at all, and looked at him with a smile: "Since you think it’s so tasty, the rest of the celery leaves will be yours."

Wang Cheng calmly said, "I have to share the best things with you, ah."

"I am not a vegetarian."

Wang Cheng answered, "What a coincidence, I am not a vegetarian either."

Chu Yifeng suddenly stretched out his hand and flicked his forehead, "You need to be patient, I was just giving you mental preparation for my intentions for tonight."

Wang Cheng: "..."

Wang Cheng attempted to escape after eating, but Chu Yifeng, who finished washing the dishes, caught him and dragged him upstairs. Wang Cheng used wanting a shower as an excuse to escape, but he ended up being taken into the bathroom to have a lovebirds bath, where he was washed both inside and out - he was especially scrubbed clean inside.

The next day, just as the two left the house, Wang Cheng received a call from Yuan Xia.

"What’s going on?"

Wang Cheng put away his mobile phone, and brightly responded: "It's Yuan Xia. His operation was successful, so he is now undergoing observation at the hospital."

Chu Yifeng knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "That's great. Do you want to go to the hospital to see him?"

"Let’s go and see."

After they arrived at the hospital, the two went straight to the special research building. Yuan Xia was in a special condition so he had to stay there after the operation. There were several other pregnant husbands in the building, some of whom came for their regular check-ups.

Eric was telling a pregnant husband what precautions to take. When he saw Wang Cheng, his blue eyes suddenly lit up - he asked the pregnant husband to wait for a while before striding towards Wang Cheng.

"Dear Mister Wang, I am very happy to see you again. Have you come to agree to let me perform the IVF surgery on you?" Eric was very enthusiastic and intended to give Wang Cheng a hug. However, he was stopped by a hand halfway. He turned his head to see a tall man with handsome, deeply-outlined features. Judged by his own standard, this man could definitely be called the best of the best.

Wang Cheng smiled and shook his hand instead. "Doctor Eric, I am also very happy to see you. However, I came to see my friend."

Eric had guessed his reason for coming, and was not particularly disappointed. He knew that it was not easy for a man who had never considered having a child to undergo IVF surgery. The pregnant husbands who came to their hospital for surgery usually came as a last resort.

"That’s alright, I can wait for your response. I wonder what this gentleman’s name is?"

Eric was very interested in the man who came with Wang Cheng. According to his visual observations, this man's body was also first class.

When he saw Doctor Eric’s eyes gleaming towards Chu Yifeng, Wang Cheng thought he was imagining the perfect pregnant husband again. He was struck by his own thoughts and quickly explained: "This is my partner, Chu Yifeng."

"Mister Chu, it is my honor to meet you." Eric held Chu Yifeng's hand excitedly, his expression seeming to be on the verge of sobbing in joy.

Chu Yifeng frowned.

"I knew that Mister Wang's partner must also be an outstanding man. As expected, at a glance, your physical fitness and health are no worse than Mister Wang’s. If I can create the perfect child in this lifetime, I will die with no regrets. I’m begging you, if you ever have such intentions in the future, you must come to me." Eric was almost incoherent through his joy.

Chu Yifeng smiled. "As long as my partner agrees to it, I don't mind."

Eric immediately turned towards Wang Cheng. "Mister Wang..."

"Stop." Wang Cheng couldn’t bear it and interrupted him; the doctor was speaking as if he would do the surgery right here and now as long as he agreed. "Let's talk about this later. Where is Yuan Xia’s ward? We want to visit him."

Eric was a little disappointed, but he also knew that he was being too eager. He fixed up his expression and said, "Mister Yuan is in Ward 302, on the fifth floor. Don’t worry, his condition is very stable."

"Thank you. Then, we’ll stop bothering you." Wang Cheng nodded politely at him before going to the fifth floor with Chu Yifeng. There were more pregnant people on the fifth floor, some had come alone and some with partners to accompany them. Each face wore a bright smile. For many homosexuals, having a child was a luxury, causing them to cherish this process even more.
