Wang Lei looked at the other side of the bed as his gaze fell on Huang Dewei who was sleeping on his stomach with his back facing him. Wang Lei sighed as he lovingly stares at him. Slowly his gaze fell on his arms where sleeves were moved due to him sleeping carelessly and he could see blue and red marks on them. It was the beating marks.

Wang Lei moved slowly and got hold of his arms as he looked at his arms with painful expressions. Wang Lei knew he was not showing him but he was probably in a lot of pain and agony....He was suffering in silence. Wang Lei thought as he softly touched the marks when Huang Dewei's eyes flew open. He quickly get up and moved away from him. Wang Lei looked towards him who was panicked and agitated.

Wang Lei felt sorrowful about how much he does not want to show his scars and wounds to him. Wang Lei wanted him to share his pain with him, but Huang Dewei was too ashamed to know the ugly scars and marks on his body to him.

'What are you doing?' Huang Dewei asked as he put down his sleeves covering his arms and looked at his robe to make sure it was all tie while Wang Lei sighed and got hold of his arms.

'Weiwei, don't you trust me?' Wang Lei said and Huang Dewei quickly shook away as he pulled out his arm from his grip.

'No, I don't want to show you my ugly sight.' Huang Dewei said as he looked away. His back was facing Wang Lei

'I will be going now...' Huang Dewei quickly said and was about to get up but Wang Lei pulled him back in his arms and put his legs around his waist locking him between his legs. Huang Dewei stopped in his place a little startled as his back was touching Wang Lei's back when he heard him whispering in his ear.

'There is nothing about you that I would find ugly...Just have some trust in me.' Wang Lei whispered in his ear softly and Huang Dewei felt him untie his robe. Huang Dewei wanted to stop but he could not as Wang Lei slowly moved away his robe putting it down as his upper half was exposed. Wang Lei looked at his naked back as he was shocked. His whole back was filled with pale and red wounds and scars. Anyway, could tell that he was beaten for days.

'Oh god....' Wang Lei said as trailed his hand over his naked back and Huang Dewei slowly closed his eyes as he moved backwards and put his head over his shoulder helplessly.

'Did all this happen on Li Qiang's order?' Wang Lei asked as he touched his naked chest and stomach and Huang Dewei hissed in pain. In response to Wang Lei, Huang Dewei nodded his head as he looked towards him and touched Wang Lei's face.

'I look ugly, isn't?' Huang Dewei asked fearfully and insecure as they looked at each other and then Wang Lei bend down and kissed the back of his neck. Huang Dewei was a little taken aback as he was not ready. Wang Lei untied his legs around him and softly pushed him down on the bed as his back was facing him. Then Wang Lei bend down and softly started trailer down kissing his back on his scars. Huang Dewei felt an electric current flow through his body as he closed his eyes and bites his lips to stop himself from moaning as he felt Wang Lei kissing him all over his naked back. Huang Dewei gripped hard on the bed sheets as he felt every single practical and hormone inside his body reacting to Wang Lei's touch.

He felt Wang Lei sucking on his scars leaving more marks but this time these marks were not painful...It was like Wang Lei was trying to replace the memories of his previous painful marks with new love marks. Wang Lei went back up towards his neck and bite him as Huang Dewei moaned.

'I told you there is nothing ugly about you.' Wang Lei whispered as he moved and turned him over. They were facing each other this time. Wang Lei got hold of his hand over his head as they stares at each other when Huang Dewei put his legs around his waist, move forward and put his lips over Wang Lei. Without a second, Wang Lei responded back as they kissed. They broke away from the kiss breathlessly and looked at each other as Huang Dewei spoke up

'Kiss me more. ' Huang Dewei pleaded and Wang Lei did not even waste as he accepted his request and started trailer down kisses from his mouth towards his neck towards his chest. He licked his stomach as Huang Dewei clenches his hands over the bed shirt and closed his eyes. Wang Lei moved back up as he moved and grabbed his nipples between his lips and Huang Dewei gasped.

Huang Dewei arched his back as he moaned loudly. Wang Lei sucked on his nipples as he licked him and Huang Dewei was sexually turned on. He never knew he was so sexually sensitive to Wang Lei's touch that it can make him feel that aroused. Wang Lei slowly moved up and looked toward him as Huang Dewei opened his eyes.

'You are so beautiful.' Wang Lei said he lovingly touched his face then moved and kissed him again on his lips

'I don't want to, but we should stop here for now.' Wang Lei said and Huang Dewei looked towards him as he shook away his head

'No, touch me more please...' Huang Dewei said depressantly as he begged and Wang Lei stares at him and softly smile

'If I touch you more then I won't be able to keep my control Weiwei, I don't want to break my promise.' Wang Lei said as he break himself free from his legs and sat back up while Huang Dewei felt cold and miserable as he lost his touch. But he nodded his head as he put on his robe and started to tie it down

'And I will ask Cheng to send you better and best medicine available for your scars. Go back to your room and rest.' Wang Lei said and Huang Dewei looked towards him as he nodded his head and got up from his bed.

'Then I will be going, your highness.' Huang Dewei said as he bowed down and Wang Lei nodded his head in response while he turned over and walked out. Wang Lei sighed as he called out to Cheng who came in running and he order him to provide the best medicine to Huang Dewei with another order. The second order was going to get stormed inside the palace but he did not care because some people needed to learn some lessons and he was going to teach them.

It was late in the night and stars were brightly shining above the sky. Huang Dewei took off his robe as he stares at himself in the mirror. His body was filled with marks and scars, but there were marks now that he finds pleasing especially the mark on his neck. Huang Dewei touched as he could not help and smile. He always turns him on and then he just left him suffering. There was so much more Huang Dewei wanted from him than just a few kisses. He was losing his patience and he hopes it does end well for him regarding whatever was between him and Wang Lei. Huang Dewei thought when there was a knock on his door. He put back his robe and opened his door and there was Cheng sending on his door frame. They greeted each other as Cheng passed down the medicine to him.

'Your highness, send this for you.' Cheng said and Huang Dewei nodded his head as he got hold of that medicine. Wang Lei never forgets his promises. Huang Dewei thought as he smile and looked at him.

'Just you know, his highness has fired all the guards who work under Li Qiang...all the guards who took part in beating you...I am telling you this because Li Qiang would not just sit still about this matter so you should be ready about it.' Cheng said as he told him about the second order he received from Wang Lei and Huang Dewei was shocked and terrified upon hearing his words.

'What?'

'I am just coming from firing them...there is a storm in the guard area about their getting fired from their job...and they all think it is because of you.' Cheng said and Huang Dewei was thunderbolt as he just nodded his head and Cheng walked away. He put away the medicine on the table and run out. He reached Wang Lei's residence and entered inside his chamber without a knock. Wang Lei looked up at him from the file he was reading.

'Did you fire guards working under the minister of war?' Huang Dewei asked breathlessly since he came here running.

'Yes.' Wang Lei responded back calmly like he knew Huang Dewei would come and ask about it.

'Why? Is it because of me?' Huang Dewei asked while trying to keep his calm.

'They almost kill someone without proof...that is unfair and injustice.' Wang Lei replied as he closed away from the file and stood up from the chair

'They were only following your father-in-law's order. If he is still in power then why only guards are fired? Huang Dewei asked questioning his decision without a fear.

'So he could learn the lesson.' Wang Lei replied

'Wow...what a way to teach a rich man lesson by getting rid of poor people's jobs. Why do you always make things hard for me?'Huang Dewei said as he sarcastically laugh and Wang Lei was surprised by his tone, but more hurtful by his words.

'I make things hard for you?' Wang Lei asked shocked and downhearted

'Yes, there is now more gossip about us.' Huang Dewei gave him a reply as he frowned annoyed.

'Oh yeah...I am sorry I always forget how much Huang Dewei hate having gossip with me.' Wang Lei replied statistically as he taunted him. He was getting angry at Huang Dewei's behaviour now as well.

'You can't do that...Take it back.' Huang Dewei said as he demanded

'I can't do that.' Wang Lei replied trying not to lose his patience

'You can be such a heartless jerk sometimes.' Huang Dewei screamed was irritated and frustrated

'You are crossing the line now Huang Dewei.' Wang Lei warned him as he glared at him.

'We have already crossed the line.' Huang Dewei replied sharply by referring to the line which had been crossed between them. The way they were all over each other, they both knew it was more than a professional relationship and they definitely have crossed the lines already beyond what they should ever have.

'Do you not trust me at all, Huang Dewei?' Wang Lei asked as he sighed helplessly but before Huang Dewei could say anything, the door opened and Li Qiang angrily entered inside

'Have you lost your mind?'Li Qiang asked as he entered inside

'Just because you are my wife's father, does not it give you the right to talk to me like this?' Wang Lei snapped as he was already annoyed and his presence made him even more fuming with anger. Li Qiang understood his bad behaviour as he bowed down and greeted him

'You should not have done that, your highness. That is wrong.' Li Qiang said making his tone go soften and more respectful

'Then you should not have beaten my personal guard without proof.' Wang Lei replied as Li Qiang glared at Huang Dewei as he spoke up

'Are you doing all this for your whore?' Li Qiang said pointing toward Huang Dewei

'Lover...he is my lover.' Wang Lei screamed as he corrected him and this time even Huang Dewei was shocked by his response

'...Hence be careful with the language you use regarding him...I will not tolerate it anymore.' Wang Lei warned him and Li Qiang sighed whereas Huang Dewei felt his heart was beating happily with his words. Lover? Did he just call him his lover? That is something he always wanted from his mouth. He could not believe if he actually heard him calling Huang Dewei his lover. Huang Dewei felt butterflies inside his stomach as he was stunned.

'I did all that for you. That is unfair to treat those poor people like this.' Li Qiang said as he tried not to use bad language for Huang Dewei, but with his tone, it was obvious that he hates Huang Dewei with passion.

'I understand that's why those guards are just fired from working as your guard...I never said they are fired from working in the palace. they have given different posts to continue working for this palace...for me...for this nation...but not for you.' Wang Lei responded to Li Qiang, but he also looked toward Huang Dewei like he was responding to him and telling me how he did not know about his whole plan and came jumping on him. Huang Dewei felt embarrassed as he looked away.

'If you have nothing else to say then you can go.' Wang Lei said as he looked at Li Qiang who felt defenceless. He found no other way at this moment so he nodded his head and walked out. He made all those guards trained for years to become his loyal to do anything and everything he says now they were fired. Wang Lei was trying to divide them and rule them which he had done successfully. Li Qiang's team of guards was gone who used to do his all work whether it was legal or illegal. His years of hard work were gone and now he probably had to start from the start again. Huang Dewei looked up at him as he spoke up

'I apologise.'

'You have zero trust over me...you always think worse of me.' Wang Lei complained heartbrokenly and Huang Dewei felt more guilty and regretful.

'Please forgive me, your highness.'

'Just go from here and leave me alone.' Wang Lei ordered coldly then turned away from him. Huang Dewei sadly and remorsefully sighed and with one last gaze he walked out of his room with slow depressed steps.
