Chapter Text
"I don't know where You Shulang is. And I wouldn't tell you even if I did know his whereabouts." Lu Zhen tells Fan Xiao for the uptentith time in the last three months since the three way confrontation that happened in this very apartment he'd get dragged back to be interrogated about his ex-boyfriend. Cigarette smoke is blown into his face and embers come very close to burning him before he is shoved away.
"You will tell me where my bodhisattva is when you find something out about his whereabouts, or I'll destroy what little remains of your pathetic modeling career." Fan Xiao threatens as he spins a matchbox around in his hand. Trying to keep him self calm after going yet another day without his cold shouldering boyfriend by his side.
"You Shulang may not have loved me. But you don't love him. You have no idea what love is." Lu Zhen says as he is escorted away from the man who destroyed his and his ex's lives.
"You're wrong. I know what love is. It's getting my bodhisattva, my god, my light back by my side so he belongs only to me." Fan Xiao replies in Thai as he looks over all the pictures of You Shulang he printed out to fill out their apartment. While getting out his phone.
"Report." He growls at his one and only friend.
"Mr.You. Still has you removed and blocked on all SNS sites. And his account is still private so he isn't accepting any of my friend requests." He is told. He snaps his next cigarette in half with his fingers as he angrily hangs up his phone without saying anything else to his friend.
He walks into the empty bedroom and kneels before the bed slowly losing the scent of wild roses. "Why don't you come back to me, Shulang? I know you are angry with me. But isn't three months too much time ignoring your boyfriend as you cool down?" He questions. His hands curling up the blanket as his eyes burn with pain and obsession to have his bodhisattva back in this bed moaning under him as he fucks him into being unable to push him away every again.
"I love you. And I will find you." Fan Xiao declares as he moves his hand down and inside his pants to get himself off on his thoughts of what he'll do to make the man he loves understand him when he finds him, and takes away from anything, everything, and everyone that has been keeping them separated these last three months.
********
"Boss! Boss! We found him! We found your Mr.You Shulang!" Fan Xiao's henchmen brought in from Thailand shout as they run into their boss's sanctuary.
His boyfriend's apartment that he hadn't left unless necessary for half a year in hopes You Shulang would come back to it on his own, but he never did. Driving Fan Xiao's love to the abyss of unhinged obsession to get him back.
"Show me." Fan Xiao demands. His eyes are cutting and dangerous that others found and saw his bodhisattva before him. His henchmen almost drop their phones as they show him different pictures of his smiling boyfriend with a happy little boy on his lap as they hold an adoption certificate together.
He doesn't need to be told who the little boy is because he already knows. "My Bodhisattva, you adopted our son for us." He whispers while waving his henchmen to prepare his car for him. He kisses his thumb and runs it over his bodhisattva's picture.
"I'm coming to take our family home, my love." Fan Xiao says as he closes the door to the empty, but picture filled apartment no longer needed as his sanctuary as he looked for his boyfriend. Because he had a place in mind for his family no one else could get to, or leave unless they were with him.
*********
Fan Xiao looks at all the successful adoption photos in the adoption agency office as his henchmen pressure the agency director for information. "I can't tell you that information." The terrified director says.
"But I'm also listed as TianTian's guardian in his mother's will."
"Yes I understand that Mr. Fan, but she is now dead and TianTian's guardian is now You Shulang and he had the records sealed."
"You must have an address for them. For checking up on the child."
"We do but that is private internal information." The director of the adoption agency tells Fan Xiao. He snaps his fingers and his men take the director away from their computer and tape their mouth shut.
"My Bodhisattva. You took our son away from me, but don't worry I'll be there with you two soon." Fan Xiao says as he memorizes his boyfriend's and son's address in China.
"If you want to stay alive. This never happened and you will not call You Shulang and tell him his information has been taken." He tells the adoption director in a threatening manner as he pockets the framed picture of TianTian's adoption photo.
"You're in charge of my company until I get my family settled in at my mansion. If you screw me over...." Fan Xiao says to his friend as he gets back into his car.
"Got it. Hope Shulang cracks your skull in."
"What was that?"
"Nothing. Hope you have a safe flight to Shulang." Fan Xiao gets in reply to his question as his friend closes the car door behind him.
Fan Xiao's private plane is waiting for him at the airport and the flight to China goes by in a blink of an eye. And the drive to his boyfriend's new place is even quicker.
"Shulang. You are our son deserve a palace not this dump." Fan Xiao comments aloud around his cigarette as he oversees maintenance to things around his boyfriend's house.
"Look. Shushu. They are fixing our road!" Fan Xiao hears his son exclaiming to his bodhisattva. He puts his cigarette out because his boyfriend hates it when he smokes around kids and he was never going to smoke around their son.
"TianTian don't run!" You Shulang shouts as he dashes after his nephew. Not knowing his voice alone causes his ex's heartbeat to go wild with longing and possessiveness.
"Shulang." Fan Xiao calls out in worship as his boyfriend gone from his side for half a year finally comes back into his line of sight. The reunion he has been obsessing over is not sweet as he hoped as cold, angry, and fearful eyes meet his eyes.
"What are you doing here, Fan Xiao?" You Shulang questions as he picks TianTian. The men around his ex don't like his tone of voice and he moves himself into a defensive position.
"Back down and pay your respects to lord!" Fan Xiao growls in Thai to his henchmen.
"Greetings to Khun You!" Many men shout in Thai before bowing and moving away from the alleyway leading to You Shulang's place.
"Who is this ShuShu?" TianTian asks as he peaks around his uncle's face to look at Fan Xiao.
"Your dad. No one." Fan Xiao answers in Thai. While You Shulang answers in Chinese at the same time.
"Bodhisattva. You're still so cold to your boyfriend after ghosting him for six months. Don't you return my love for you at all anymore?" Fan Xiao questions. Each word bringing him closer to his bodhisattva as he walks towards him as he talks.
"Love? Boyfriend? Ghosting? None of those words apply to us President Fan. Or was our breakup not clear to you that day? If it wasn't let me repeat myself. Get lost and never come back into my life." You Shulang hisses out in a low, raging tone as he walks towards his ex to bring TianTian to school.
His pulse thrums with rage and arousal as his neck is sniffed and caressed.
"You smell so good." Fan Xiao whispers as he takes in the wild roses scent long faded from his sanctuary. Before he bites down behind his bodhisattva's ear to mark him.
"Fan Xiao!" You Shulang yells like a curse word as he kicks his ex in the shin.
"Leave Shushu alone!" TianTian cries as shoves at Fan Xiao's arm away from him. Young protective eyes meet dark obsessive eyes. "I can't. I love him too much, and need him and you by my side so we can be a family." Fan Xiao says.
Most of his words go over his son's head, but not his boyfriend's.
"We will never be by your side." You Shulang declares as he separates himself and his nephew from his ex's psychical reach.
"Yes you will." Fan Xiao says with a knowing promise that feels very much like a threat to You Shulang as he is stalked to his nephew's preschool.
"Call me if Anyone else tries to pick TianTian up." You Shulang instructs TianTian's teacher as he keeps his eyes glued to man too obsessed with him to see he doesn't love him the same way anymore. Nor did he want his twisted version of that four letter word.
Fan Xiao doesn't stop following his bodhisattva, and the smell of rouge clings to You Shulang like chains as he attempts to go about his day. Like he hadn't run into the man who broke the heart that still beats for him. The man he had been trying to pretend was just a nightmare for the last six months when he made TianTian his priority.
His obsessive stalker doesn't leave him alone and as he brings his nephew home. The world goes black as men surround him and a needle is pushed into his neck.
"I didn't want to force you, but you were being too cold to me about coming home with me with our son, my bodhisattva. Don't worry I'll take good care of you both so neither of you will need anyone else but me in your lives." Fan Xiao kisses into his boyfriend's lips as he holds his unconscious body in his arms. While his men treat his son with upmost respect and care.
"You two will love your new home. It's a mansion big enough to be the palace you deserve." He whispers lovingly as he holds his family in his arms as the three of them are driven to his private plane so they can go home.
