Wei Wuxian was still half asleep with his face down on the pillow when he felt a warm mouth move all over his body, kissing every inch of it, focusing on his backside. He smiled and wriggled from under Lan Wangji, when the latter turned him over and started to kiss him.

"Mmh… morning to you too, Lan Zhan." He hugged Lan Wangji's neck and buried himself on his neck. He was so tired from their lovemaking last night, with the tail and all.

"It's already noon, sweetheart." Lan Wangji pinched his bottom. "You said you want to look at the car today." He rubbed his hardness on Wei Wuxian who woke up suddenly. 

"Right, I almost forgot." He grabbed the hardness with his hand. "But right now, we have more important matters to settle." Wei Wuxian then changed their positions and went down on him. 

Lan Wangji was happily enjoying the blowjob when his phone rang. At first he ignored it, but it rang nonstop until he finally picked it up and answered it in a cold voice.

"What."

"Why are you so grumpy? Are you in the middle of something unsavory there or what?" Yuwen Xing chuckled since she could guess exactly what the lovebirds had been doing. "Come to the house for lunch? And bring Wei Ying with you, we have some news." It was his mother, and she sounded very excited.

"Mm. Okay." Lan Wangji ended the connection without waiting for his mother to speak another word, then he threw his phone away and held Wei Wuxian's head until he finished what he was doing.

"What's it all about?" Wei Wuxian was snuggled into Lan Wangji's arms, all sated and happy.

"My mom asked us to come for lunch." He kissed Wei Wuxian's hair and inhaled his intoxicating smell.

Wei Wuxian jolted right up and saw the clock already pointed to two p.m. 

"You do know how to read the clock, right?" He pointed out at the clock and Lan Wangji smiled.

"Well, what you just did to me was more important than any lunch in the world." Lan Wangji kissed Wei Wuxian's mouth but the latter pushed him.

"Shower. Now."

They quickly washed their bodies from all the evidence of their all night activities, and dressed up in their usual clothing, jeans and white shirts. Then they went down to the club, where the brunch had been served and it was packed with people, mostly the young ones that had been studying abroad and missing the food. 

The roast and its condiments were authentic, and it was not expensive. Lan Wangji could see that Wei Wuxian had a great sense of business. Or maybe it was Shen Qingqiu, since he was already there in the office when they walked down, eyeing them blatantly, but he did not say anything since they were in a hurry to go for lunch at the Lan's house.

"Later…" Wei Wuxian whispered to him with a wink, which if Shen Qingqiu interpreted it correctly, they had already done the deed. But why did Wei Wuxian still look like he did not remember a thing?" Maybe he should ask Xie Lian. He wondered where he went, just pulling a disappearing act like that. 

He chuckled.

If five years ago he knew that he would care for Dianxia like this, he would just smack himself in the face and put it down as a hallucination. But really, no one knew what was going to happen in life, just like when that scrawny kid asked him for his help. It changed his life, and Binghe, completely. But it was another story for another day, right now he had to focus on these tedious tasks, managing a club, god knows how Binghe or Hua Cheng did that with quite a several others under their belt. Guess he just had to learn by doing then, although both Binghe and Hua Cheng had helped him too.

They arrived in the Lan's main house soon after, and they saw Lan Xichen and Jiang Yanli were already there, so was Hua Cheng and Grandpa Mo. They entered the house and were greeted by all of them, and Grandpa Mo dragged Wei Wuxian to the side to talk about the continuation of their last night's conversation, but Yuwen Xing gave her father a stink eye, so he relented with a promise that they would talk later.

"So," Yuwen Xing started the toast after they had all sat around the table, "we all gathered here, to congratulate Xichen and Yanli, for their pregnancy!" She was so excited and they followed by loud clapping congratulating the couple. "The wedding will be held next month, and I hope there will be other great news too!" She winked at Lan Wangji who pretended that he did not know what it was all about. Then they continued to have lunch served. It was a three-course meal, with pumpkin soup, and light salad as the appetizer; beef wellington with truffled brie potatoes, brussel sprout with bacon and red wine sauce; and sticky dates pudding for desserts.

While they were all enjoying the food and chitchatting, Lan Xichen talked to his brother, as he looked quite haggards with shadows under his eyes and all.

"Brother, you look tired." Lan Xichen nudged Lan Wangji who sat next to him. They were all enjoying the beef wellington made by the Lan's chef. "Are you having enough rest? Be careful of the changing season, wouldn't want you to catch something nasty."

"Yeah, don't you worry about me, brother, I just got tired from playing with a little fox all night." Lan Wangji smirked and Wei Wuxian who sat next to him, pinched his waist, while Jiang Yanli and Lan Xichen blushed and coughed from his brother's shameless remark.

"Glad to think that nothing's changed for you." Lan Xichen then turned around to face Jiang Yanli. "Baby, why don't you take Wei Ying to the mall with you?" He then turned around to face Wei Ying. "She wanted to buy some stuff for the baby." 

"Good, I'll come too." Yuwen Xing interrupted. She was listening to her sons' conversation in amusement when the offer came. "Then we girls can have some quality time together."

They finished their lunch and while the girls left for shopping—which Lan Wangji knew it would be some sort of a torture for Wei Wuxian, but it's good for them to bond—Lan Xichen dragged him to talk with their father and grandfather.

They sat on the couch, smoking cigars and congratulating Lan Xichen once again. Although Lan Wangji did not like the smell of the cigar, he took it in some sort of participation, and besides, he could feel that something was eating at his older brother. He guessed that Lan Xichen would have something to talk about while all the men of the family were there, at least the most important and significant ones.

"So, instead of dragging this out, I'm just going to rip the bandage." Lan Xichen looked at his father and grandfather. Lan Wangji had a feeling that he knew what his brother was going to say. "I'm going to step down as the head of Lan's Tech, and I'm going to open a restaurant with Yanli. You know, live a quiet life and all, instead of being in the spotlight as the Lan's heir, and receiving unwanted attention such as last night." He chuckled and told them the story about how Stella Lin tried to ambush him, frame him for rape allegation, badmouthing Wei Wuxian and how Jiang Yanli slapped and spit at her before his shadow guards took her away.

Lan Wangji did have a thought about ending the Lin's family business, but it was just a thought in the back of his head, until Lan Xichen told them about how unruly this Stella girl was. And it seemed that his grandfather had the same thoughts, while his father was looking at them, with some kind of amusement in his eyes.

"Gentlemen, please be calm before deciding to do anything… unsavory." Qingheng Jun quietly smoked his cigar while calming down his son and father-in-law, because some unknown girl had offended their goddess. Well, he was offended too, but he had more logic and patience than those two men with murderous thoughts. Although he used to think that his second son was as logical and as cold as he, but turned out he was as passionate as his mother and maternal grandfather after all.

"I will take care of the Lin's, after all they still have connections to my brother. But right now should we discuss Xichen? I mean, we understand your feelings, trust us, we do. But there are things called responsibilities, and I don't think that you have fulfilled your responsibilities well, Xichen, judging from the mess that you have created." Qingheng Jun quietly sipped his tea. "Especially now that you have another life in your hands. A wife and a child are not an easy responsibility, and you have yet shown us that you are capable of taking care of yourself, least of all others."

Qingheng Jun's words were sharp, but they were on point. 

Of course Lan Xichen knew that he had screwed up big time, and that was the main reason why he wanted to step down and getting off of the spotlight as his punishment, although he also knew that it would not be that easy since he was supposed to be the heir of the Lans' family fortune. And it might be seen as him shirking away from his responsibilities. 

But, to think of it, this might be the perfect time for him to show them all that he had changed for the better, that he would not abandon, or run, from what he was supposed to do, his responsibilities. After all, he was going to be a father, and a husband to a wonderful woman that had been a great blessing in his life.

"Okay dad, I do want to be a better man, a responsible person, a good husband to my wife and a good father figure to my child. Like you. Like Wangji. Hell, even like grandpa here. Can you show me how?" Lan Xichen promised to himself that he was going to change. He needed to change for the better if he hoped to make Jiang Yanli and their child happy. He knew he still had much to do, things to change, but with his family's help? Nothing's impossible.

"I thought you'd never ask."
