What Ivanov regretted the most, was probably that day on the cruise ship when he had carried the drunk Chen An to his room, yet he didn't even do a single thing to him!
The furthest distance in the world, was not 'I love you, but you didn't know about it', but it was while Chen An was showering, he just sat outside the bathroom like an idiot.The original poem could be found
Stupid, truly stupid!
He felt regret; it was so regrettable!
He couldn't stand living with regrets in his life. As he shook the white wine in his hand, his eyes shone with maliciousness: "I promise, as long as you finish this bottle of wine, I'll let you guys go."
Chen An didn't say another word, he grabbed the wine bottle, tilted back his head, and began chugging. Watching the man gulp down wine as if it were water without hesitation, Ivanov who was beside him was slightly stunned but then laughed. He clapped his hands while nodding in praise: "Beautiful, I like it!"
Chen An was really different from anyone he has ever met before, usually, people would express suspicion and distrust towards him. Although he didn't know why this man believed his words, to Ivanov, he really liked this feeling of being trusted.
"Uhmp! Uhmp!—–" Chen Yang who was gagged felt furious as he watched Chen An drink the bottle of white wine like his life depended on it. He persistently struggled to stand up, but the bodyguards beside him would press down on him every time he tried to.
Everything that was happening in front of his eyes dealt a huge blow to Chen Yang, the hands that were being twisted behind his back were clenched into a tight fist. He desperately wanted to do something but couldn't. He could only watch as Chen An was forced to drink wine in order to save him.
Unprecedented humiliation and resentment were like an inferno, burning uncontrollably in his heart. His hands were balled up with so much force that protruding veins began to show but Chen Yang was helpless as he stared intently at Chen An drink.
He couldn't do anything, he could only watch, he was powerless.
He has lived for more than 20 years, but this was the first time Chen An saw the cruelty of 'the strong eat the weak' world, it was the first time but it impacted him deeply. The impact was so deep that he would never forget this event for the rest of his life.
For the first time in his life he felt the need to be strong, he wanted to be stronger, strong enough so that he and Chen An won't ever have to suffer today's humiliation again!
When his anger reached its peak, surprisingly Chen Yang started to calm down, he didn't struggle anymore since it was useless to do so.
He quietly watched everything that happened and silently told himself to firmly remember everything that has happened today in his heart.
He wanted to remember it in his heart for a lifetime, if they could safely leave this place today, he will use everything that has happened today to continuously motivate himself to become stronger.
It's not that Chen An couldn't drink, it was just that his constitution changed so now he got drunk easily.
Regardless, to finish a full bottle of wine wasn't an easy task. He had drunk half of the bottle, but he already felt like he couldn't drink anymore.
His stomach felt like it was on fire, it was burning, feeling immensely sore. He tightly held the wine bottle in his hand, after taking a deep breath, he threw back his head and continued to pour wine down his throat.
From the time he lived in an orphanage as a helpless orphan, he has already experienced abandonment again right after being adopted. From being a weak child at the bottom of society, even with his lowly existence, he crawled his way up to become a powerful international figure. What kind of pain and suffering has he not endured?
He knew when to adapt to circumstance, but he also remembered every humiliation that he experienced, like this situation today.
After his rebirth, he had lost his wealth, his former status. He struggled for 20 some years to earn all his achievements yet everything vanished overnight, drinking the strong alcoholic drink he mourned for the life he had lost.
He was Chen Zhang An, yet he wasn't Chen Zhang An. Now he was Chen An, Chen An who had no money, no power, Chen An who had to start everything again from scratch.
After Chen An had emptied the entire bottle of wine, the front of his clothes was soaked from the spilled wine, and it seemed like his body was completely swallowed by the alcohol. Soon the alcohol began to take effect, assaulting his stomach with chaotic throbbing.
Chen An took a deep breath, trying to maintain sobriety but the people and objects in front of him began to blur. There seemed to be so many Ivanov and each watched him with a complex expression. The smirk on his face grew wider, causing Chen An to feel irritated.
Head feels so dizzy, so lightheaded …..
He doesn't like the feeling of getting drunk, everything was spinning.
His body involuntarily fell backward, but before his back could hit the table, Ivanov stepped forward accordingly and wrapped his arm around his back to stop his fall.
"I like how intoxicated you look, An." Lowering his head, he smiled as he watched Chen An clutch his stomach uncomfortably. Ivanov extended his hand to stroke the man's stomach, while slowly caressing the man's chest and abdomen over the wet liquor stained shirt, his voice deepened, sounding a bit husky.
"Does your stomach feel uncomfortable An?"
"Fuck off!" the thoroughly drunk man's eyes were cold as he raised his hand towards Ivanov's face giving him a sounding slap across the face.
The fierce slap had left Ivanov slightly stunned before he forcibly grabbed Chen An's shoulder and pressed him down on the table.
Some bodyguards turned a blind eye to their boss's actions, obviously, this wasn't the first time Ivanov has done this kind of thing.
Pushed down on the table following the heavy slap he gave Ivanov in his drunkenness, he had lost his rationality along with his strength. The discomfort in his stomach made it hard for Chen An to struggle, so he could only passively endure as Ivanov violently ravaged his mouth with his kiss.
Ivanov felt like the man lying underneath him was a willful big cat, incessantly using his paws to scratch his body. The way he pushed against him weakly, resisting him as he struggles to escape, made it seem like the man was trying to seduce him instead.
Chen An wasn't the first person he had ever kissed and he will not be his last but this was the first time he has ever lost control when kissing someone, this man was really irresistible.
Although this man's body wasn't perfect or the best looking,this man was really addicting making him crave him more and more.
This erotic display left Chen Yang stunned, gaping at this scene, even Lu Feng who was not far away on the side could only stare, taken aback by this live show.
Clearly, this man was a stranger to him but when he saw this man named Chen An lying beneath Ivanov, Lu Feng couldn't help tightening his grip on his wine glass.
An inexplicable sense of discomfort and an indefinable rage was growing stronger with great intensity, almost reaching the critical point of erupting.
"Enough, Ivanov!"
Lu Feng's shout instantly stopped Ivanov. Ivanov reluctantly bowed his head to quickly plant a light kiss on the man's lips that were swollen from his biting.
"I keep by my words." As he glanced at the empty bottle at the side, Ivanov straightens up his body and took a deep breath as he tried to calm down his boiling emotions.
"Let him go."
Ivanov ordered the bodyguards to let Chen Yang go. No longer restrained, Chen Yang immediately crawled up from the floor and walked a few steps to the table to help up the drunken Chen An. He promptly took off his coat and draped it over Chen An's body.
"Take good care of your uncle. When he wakes up, remember to tell me, I will come find him."
He lightly bit his lips. Ivanov didn't want to stay here any longer, he needed to leave before he changed his mind.
"I made you wait, Mr. Lu." Straightening his clothes, Ivanov smiled and then walked to Lu Feng's side, "Let's go."
"You have a terrible hobby." Lu Feng criticized Ivanov and glanced at the man who was nestled in Chen Yang's embrace, without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and left with Ivanov.
He dedicated a lifetime worth of feelings solely to that cruel and unfeeling man, he couldn't spare to give any affections to another person in this world.
He couldn't, he wouldn't allow it.
