"I'm sorry, what?" Wei Wuxian thought that he heard wrong.

"I'm Lan Wangji's fiance, didn't he tell you? Well, it's typical of him to not tell anyone he's screwing that he has a fiance." She scoffed and Wei Wuxian could see a hint of malice in her eyes. "Anyway, don't even think that just because you're his present bedwarmer that you're gonna last. That's my friendly advice to you." She smiled and Wei Wuxian could see how the pretty face was actually devious. But he just nodded without any expression on his face.

"Thanks for your advice." Wei Wuxian turned around and walked quickly to avoid the woman. Lan Wangji's fiance. Right. 

A man that handsome and rich and powerful was supposed to already have a lot of kids, especially at his age. He always wondered why Lan Wangji was still single; turned out he was actually not. 

Wei Wuxian walked faster and felt the cold weather start to seep into his bones, jolting him awake from his pipe dream. Yes, this was all just a pipe dream. He was a man, Lan Wangji was a man, he was his employee, Lan Wangji was his boss, the handsome, rich and powerful man who was wanted by everyone. 

There was no future for both of them.

Wei Wuxian felt a giggle rise from the deepest part of his chest, and he dropped down on the bench while stifling his laugh. It was funny, how he believed that he was going to find his happily ever after… again, only to be turned into a fool… again. 

And a fool he was, since he just realized that he had fallen in love with Lan Wangji.

And somehow the realization was the only thing that made sense right now. 

Lan Wangji entered the warm apartment to a dinner, waiting for him at the table, and a beauty waiting for him in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine in his hand.

"I'm home." He hugged Wei Wuxian from behind and kissed his neck.

"Mm, I've prepared dinner for you." He turned around and kissed Lan Wangji softly and he looked so lovely it almost took Lan Wangji's breath away.

"Later." He deepened the kiss and pulled Wei Wuxian down on the fur carpet in front of the fire. "I always wanted to make love in front of the fire on a cold winter night like this." Lan Wangji then slowly took off Wei Wuxian's clothes and left trails of kisses all over the place where the skin was exposed.

"Well, it's not winter yet, but making love here sounds good." Wei Wuxian smiled as he kissed Lan Wangji's lips softly.

Lan Wangji noticed the change of tones and the soft gaze, and he felt his heart do the somersault in his ribs. He… never felt like this before. And as he kissed the soft and yielding lips, he felt the tenderness inside of him that he never knew he had. He caressed Wei Wuxian's long hair and moved a strand that fell on his forehead away, then he kissed the said forehead. He was really fond of this beautiful creature and he would surely treat him to the best things. He deserved only the best of everything.

Lan Wangji then quickly prepared Wei Wuxian, and he entered him without a hitch as the latter moaned in ecstasy, making him harder and somehow he felt that Wei Wuxian was more pliant than before, like he was surrendering himself to him and it only caused him to get harder and more vigorous. He thrust inside Wei Wuxian, coaxing him to let out his voice. And with every sound of the lewd slaps of flesh against flesh, followed by the sighs and gasps and moans from their mouths, they reached the climax together with a loud grunt and the feel of hot liquid came trickling out of Wei Wuxian. 

Ever since they went to Paris, Lan Wangji forgone the protection completely and they always did it raw. Anyway, Wei Wuxian preferred it, since he felt closer to him without any barrier between them, and Lan Wangji didn't seem to mind either.

After they finished their lovemaking, Lan Wangji sighed in contentment, then he closed his eyes, while Wei Wuxian rested his head on his broad chest.

Wei Wuxian had taken a decision after he came to the conclusion that he fell in love with Lan Wangji. He would spend the rest of his one year contract quietly, and after that he would move on. Maybe moved away to a different city, since he didn't think that he would be able to see Lan Wangji get married to anyone.

But right now, he would take what he could get. If Lan Wangji was willing, he would be willing too, and when it's time to say goodbye, he would cut every tie clean and disappear from his life. That would be his gift to him.

Weekend in France ended so quickly and when they were back from their short weekend getaway, Wei Wuxian got a notice of trial from Xie Lian.

"Hmm, that was fast. I thought the trials for this kind of case would take at least half a year to one year even if the evidence was sufficient." He read the message from Xue Lian, which informed him to attend as the plaintiff.

Lan Wangji then touched his hand softly.

"You can take a day off on that day." He then kissed Wei Wuxian.

"I was about to ask you, but thank you." Wei Wuxian buried himself into Lan Wangji's embrace and inhaled his scent. He really didn't know how he would be able to forget this man, or stop loving him. 

Well, that's a problem for another day. Right now he would focus on enjoying the rest of his numbered days with him.
