Ye Xiao noticed that his domineering CEO husband had been acting strangely lately: his whereabouts were uncertain, his eyes darted away, and he was getting chummy with people outside the relationship.
He'd even managed to control the seven times a night that he normally couldn't control at all. Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
Something was wrong. Something was definitely wrong!
.
On their first wedding anniversary, Ye Xiao prepared a table full of dishes, but never saw CEO Zhu, who had promised to "be home late."
His calls went unanswered. The assistant said he was working overtime. When Ye Xiao called the people his husband was flirting with, they were tongue-tied and dodged his questions.
At two in the morning, Ye Xiao began drafting divorce papers.
.
But
At four in the morning, he caught the CEO's fresh-faced, pitiful "illegitimate son" at eighteen. The boy burst into tears on the spot and timidly wrapped his arms around Ye Xiao's slender waist.
At eight, the CEO's gentle and considerate "younger brother," aged twenty-two, suddenly appeared. The moment he saw Ye Xiao, his gaze turned inscrutable. He lowered his lashes and smiled faintly, ready to take over as his "sister-in-law's" new partner.
At ten, the elite Secretary-General Zhu, aged twenty-six, brought Ye Xiao bad news about Zhu Xinglan. And, while he was at it
"Madam, you wouldn't want anyone to find out about our improper relationship, would you?"
.
Night fell. Reality shattered. Monsters and demons ran rampant, and every night humanity struggled to survive against impossible odds.
Ye Xiao finally recovered all his memories. He looked at the three handsome faces beside him, all identical to his husband's, turned pale, and ran for it. "Don't come any closer!!!"
.
Later
The original, thirty-year-old Zhu Xinglan finally made it home after countless hardships. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ye Xiao, eyes unfocused, surrounded by men on both sides and thoroughly outnumbered.
.
Zhu at twenty-six sneered at Zhu at eighteen. "This is an adult's business. Kids, get lost."
Zhu at eighteen clung to Ye Xiao and acted cute while keeping a little notebook to remember every slight: corruption +1.
Zhu at twenty-two glanced at the newly arrived Zhu at thirty and scoffed. "Another old man pushing thirty. Tsk."
Zhu at thirty drew his knife on the spot.
.
Ye Xiao, battered and exhausted, clutched his back. "Stop fighting, stop fighting. You're all my wings..."
Am I some kind of four-winged angel?!
