Chapter 119 - Knew All Along?

* * *

The blanket he was using to cover his body fell into the carpeted floor as Ian indulged himself into the kiss. He believed Hanlu wholeheartedly that if the Alpha was lying to him, he might probably murder him for continually hurting him like it was nothing.

"Even if with condoms, I'm upset that you slept with someone else," Ian mentioned after they briefly separated. He clings onto Hanlu as if he would fall on his knees if he didn't.

"I'm sorry. I have no excuse." Hanlu replied before continuing their kiss. This time they kissed for a long time. They were so into it that both of them started feeling hot. Slowly, Ian felt Hanlu's arousal against his stomach.

Finally separating again from the kiss both with labored breaths, Ian leaned towards Hanlu's bare chest. "Even though we did it so much..." Ian mentioned, his hand moved to grasp its length.

"This thing malfunctions when it comes to you." Hanlu replied playfully, he was not planning to have s.e.x again after they've done it so many times but he can't help feeling aroused when they were kissing and both n.a.k.e.d ready to get on on it.

"It's so big." Ian commented chewing on his lips, his eyes already dazed as he felt himself twitch in arousal as well. He suddenly started emitting pheromones again catching Hanlu off guard. Hanlu cursed internally before he hastily pushed Ian to the nearest wall. There were not many words exchanged between the two when Hanlu lifted one of Ian's legs and plunged his length with ease.

Since Ian was still soft and wet from their previous activity, the process went smoothly. Groaning in delight as he once again stretched Ian's narrow channel, Hanlu lifted Ian on his arm and pushed him against the wall.

"You know full well what your scent does to me," Hanlu growls thrusting with force.

"I-I can't control it... Ahhh hmmm," Ian whined loving the feeling of his man inside him once again. Even though they've done so many times already, it still felt so good that it instantly made his mind feel light. Normally, he had better control over his pheromones because he didn't want to attract unwanted attention from other Alphas.

But sometimes when his heat was nearing, his pheromones would slip now and then that's why he takes suppressant even though he wasn't in his heat just to make sure.

"I-I might... I might be getting my heat soon."

"Dammit! Does that mean that if I didn't find you sooner you'll be in heat with that bastard around!??" Hanlu roared realizing the fact. His movements halted to watch how Ian would react to his question. Seeing that Ian was silent, he silently thanked Tian Zi for taking action ahead of time. He didn't know what he would do if something happened between Henry and Ian, aside from killing Henry. He might hate both his parents for separating Ian from him.

"Seriously?!!" Hanlu gasped in shock.

"L-Let's talk later...j-just please keep moving." Ian whined as he demanded, he tried to move his waist but he only got little to none penetration and he hated it. Hearing Ian's plea, Hanlu began to plunge in agreeing with his lover's request.

After indulging themselves for another hour, Hanlu and Ian finally felt sated and settled themselves on the bed after having one last s.e.x when they had just finished in the shower room. Ian dropped on top of Hanlu panting in pure bliss. His body spasms feeling Hanlu's seeds pouring inside him for who knew how many times already.

"So you weren't the father of her baby?!" After resting for a couple of minutes, Ian sat up from his laying position to question Hanlu. Now that his mind was calm, body and spirit sated, and all information sunk in, Ian had many questions on his mind.

"hmmm, our investigation says it's her previous ex-boyfriend." Hanlu replied, he swirls his fingers against Ian bare thigh while loving the feeling of his rod remaining buried in his lover's deepest corners.

"If you two haven't had s.e.x, then why the f.u.c.k did she even thought the baby was yours? Even your parents thought it's yours." Ian asked suspiciously. He remembered the news featuring Veronica Chime when he revealed her pregnancy, she legitly sounded so sure Hanlu was the father.

"B-Because there was this time, I-I was drunk...I thought that...You know..." Hanlu stuttered, he completely forgot how to explain this part. He stared at Ian's unimpressed expression and he immediately realized he f.u.c.k.i.e.d up.

"But I highly doubted we did it that time, the CCTV showed I dashed out of the room after just a few minutes. You weren't talking to me properly then, so I drank my sorrows away. I must have met her in the club and she brought me to a hotel because I was so wasted. And then I just woke up with her on top of me n.a.k.e.d and my d.i.c.k out. I pushed her away. I thought it was that time but after investigation, I was sure nothing happened. Please believe me." Hanlu explained hastily and begged as he sat up and hugged Ian.

"After that kiss, I was loyal only to you. I'm not lying. I love you, Ian. Please believe me." Hanlu begged again, hearing no reply from the Omega. Hanlu had never been so desperate to anyone, only to Ian that he became like this. He had just made Ian believe him but now his f.u.c.k.i.n.g up again.

"Okay. I believe you, Luu." Ian cheered, a gentle and loving smile formed on his lips as he pulled away from Hanlu desperate embrace. He really felt Hanlu's emotions and he would feel bad if he didn't believe him. Kissing the Alpha's forehead, Ian giggled before he showered the Alpha's saddened face with light and feathery kisses.

He suddenly felt guilty knowing he was the reason why Hanlu had become so desperate, he left Hanlu two times. If Hanlu's feelings to him were true, then just like him, Hanlu would be scared of being left behind again.

"Really?"

"Yes, you're such a baby."

"You won't leave me?"

"Dummy, I won't. I promise from now on, as long as you stay true to me. If anything, I'm scared of being left by you. Whenever things get complicated, I prefer declaring defeat and leave on my own before I get hurt even more. I know I don't have a chance. If I receive your rejection up-front, I won't be able to take it." Ian explained, earning another hug from Hanlu.

"Don't say you don't have a chance. You're the only one I have ever wanted. The second I saw you in that library, I knew since then I've liked you. I was just too stupid and stubborn to accept it. You were so innocent, so delicate on my arms. You trusted me almost immediately. Despite your foul mouth and feisty approach, *chuckles* you were always there to cheer me up. You treated me equally and didn't think of me like I'm some wealthy third-generation hier you can use to elevate your status. Ian, you were different from anybody else. You're far better than them. That's the whole reason why I fell for you."

"I guess both of us are stupid." Ian chuckled before he cupped Hanlu's cheeks. 

"I love you, Luu. After 12 years, I'm finally saying it." Ian said and soon both of them kissed softly, it was so sweet it made Ian cry out of happiness. His heart was so happy and peaceful, it's like all the pain he had endured finally lifted away.

"I prepared a ring but I don't have it now. Will you still please marry me? I promise I'll fix everything about Veronica as soon as I can..." Hanlu asked desperately, bringing another chuckle from Ian's lips. He quickly halted Hanlu from his attempt to convince him.

"Yes. You don't need to convince me. I'll marry you, Luu." Ian smiled causing Hanlu to widen his eyes.

"Really? Do you really mean it? You're finally accepting my proposal?" Hanlu asked, almost jumping in happiness.

"Yes. I feel like I don't, now. I would regret it."

"You will never regret this, Ian. I will stay faithful to you. I will make you happy every day." Hanlu declared with a bright smile on his handsome face. Even though there were obvious dark and sunken lines under his eyes, that didn't hide how handsome he was with that genuine smile on his face.

"Hmmm, before that. I think we should take a shower again?!" Ian suggested and so they once again decided to take a bath. This time the two took their time soaking into the tub. With Ian resting on top of Hanlu, both of them silently enjoyed the warm water.

Ian closes his eyes in content leaning on Hanlu arms as he slowly moves his hand to continually draw lines on Hanlu's legs in a soothing way.

"Is there a reason why nothing has been revealed to the public yet?" Ian suddenly asked, breaking the silence between them. Because if Hanlu knew the truth, then why was the Mo household tolerating this lie. Veronica Chime was clearly trying to get inside the Mos.

Hanlu was silent for a bit before he finally decided to reply. "There is...I can't tell you yet but I assure you I will put an end to this as soon as possible." Hanlu assured, he then kissed Ian's head hoping that he would understand. Ian, on the other hand, knew for the fact that something about this situation sounded unusual.

"Is it a dangerous situation?" Ian asked, shocking Hanlu. He wondered why Ian suddenly thought it was a dangerous situation.

"No, no. Nothing dangerous, Silly. Even if it is, I will make sure you and Lan would never get hurt." Hanlu assured him by hugging Ian.

"I know you won't let anything hurt me and Lan, but Luu, what do you think my job is? I'm a senior detective. Of course, I know your affiliation with the underground. I won't be on top of my department if I can't even determine if the man I'm in love with is doing illegal things behind my back." Ian suddenly revealed that once again shocking Hanlu to the core to the point that he was unable to utter a single word for a good few seconds.

"I know quite a few things about your underground jobs. Firearms, kidnapping, blackmailing, training illegal mercenaries, illegal information, even killings. I also know the fact that you're childhood friends with the underground leader 'Dragon', but that's okay Luu. So you can tell me if it had something to do with that. I would understand." Ian stated. He already knew long ago.

Ever since he started working and began handling cases, he discovered Hanlu's involvement in some of the kidnapping and missing person incidents. Added to the fact that Hanlu was sometimes suspicious, Ian slowly discovered the truth. However, despite all that, he chose to keep his discovery to himself and instead tried to solve other cases to lessen his guilt.

"W-When?... Wait, I-it's okay with you?" Hanlu stuttered before sighing in frustration. "I'm sorry. This is a shock even for me." Hanlu admitted as he pushed back his hair all the way to the back.

"Six months after I started working. That year you weren't as good with cleaning up compared to now. I couldn't believe it at first but you're the man I love. I would accept you no matter what." Ian chatted as he turned to face Hanlu. That's how deep his feelings for Hanlu was, he was willing to sacrifice even his career.

"I'm sorry. Did I scare you? You just came back at that time, I wasn't stable. And compared to now, Laotian and I built formidable names in both business and underground industries. We don't get that many enemies compared to before."

"I'm a policeman. I've seen similar or worse cases compared to you. *chuckles* At least with you, I get to wrap you between my fingers. It's just sometimes, I get so worried whether at this moment you get yourself killed or arrested. It's the only thing that terrified me the most." Ian admitted that it made Hanlu pull him for an embrace.

"That ringtone that time, it was from your underlings, right? Does it have to do with Veronica? Is that why none of her lies had been revealed to the public yet?" Ian asked, connecting one to the other. With his comprehensive skills, there was no wonder he was top in his department. It's just a surprise when it comes to love he's surprisingly dense.

*sighs* "Alright! You caught me. Yes, you're right. It had something to do with that call." Hanlu finally admitted as he stared at Ian straight to his eyes. At this moment, he decided to reveal to Ian everything. After all, he promised he would always be true to him.
