After the fake young master left home, he discovered that it wasn't raining at all outside.

Although Li Dong dared not move, his eyes darted around. He caught Wen Chen's pleading look out of the corner of his eye and cautiously began to speak:

"Young Master Zhu, everything before was a misunderstanding. Wen Chen threatened me to do it. Otherwise, why would I do such a heinous thing?" Seeing that Zhu Yan didn't react, Li Dong tentatively spoke up again:

"Think about how he targeted you before, and you still want to save him..."

"When did I say I was going to save him?" Zhu Yan interrupted Li Dong directly.

It's better not to save them, it's better not to save them.

If you're not going to save me, then just leave.

The last glimmer of light in Wen Chen's eyes was extinguished, leaving them dull and colorless.

He was unwilling to ask Zhu Yan for help, but rather than be captured by a villain like Li Dong, he would rather fall into Zhu Yan's hands.

But now, Zhu Yan is not interested in him.

"It's good that you're not going to help him. Does he even deserve your help? Don't worry, leave the teaching him a lesson to us so you don't get your hands dirty." Li Dong had just breathed a sigh of relief when Zhu Yan suddenly spoke up again.

"You want to get rid of me?" Zhu Yan understood the meaning behind Li Dong's words and was eager for Zhu Yan to leave.

But the banquet was a point where they wouldn't leave.

"No, no, I wouldn't dare. Please do as you please." Li Dong was sweating profusely, terrified that he would become the next Wen Chen.

Knowing that Zhu Yan was in high spirits, Lu Ze moved a chair from the corner of the cubicle and placed it behind Zhu Yan, while also taking out a tissue to wipe his face.

Zhu Yan didn't even glance at him before sitting down, crossing his legs and looking down at the disheveled Wen Chen.

"You want me to save you?" Zhu Yan picked up the black whip beside him and played with it in his palm.

Upon hearing Zhu Yan's words, Wen Chen seemed to see hope again and nodded to Zhu Yan.

"Beg me."

A mocking smile curled at the corner of Zhu Yan's lips.

"Please, save...save me." Wen Chen's dignity had been completely crushed at this moment, and now he had only one thought: to escape from Li Dong's clutches.

Therefore, he was willing to humble himself and beg for help at the banquet.

"Ha." Zhu Yan seemed to find the whip too dirty and threw it on the ground. "Why should I save you? What value do you have to me?"

Zhu Yan's goal is to destroy everything Wen Chen is proud of, making him realize just how foolish his previous actions against Zhu Yan were.

Xu Zhiyuan stood beside the banquet without saying a word, silently watching the show.

But when he saw Zhu Yan throw down the whip with disgust, he took out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket, pulled one out, walked over to Zhu Yan, squatted down, took Zhu Yan's hand, and gently wiped it for him.

Zhu Yan is a bit of a germaphobe, and he clearly remembers this, so he always carries wet wipes with him in case something like this happens.

And here it is, it came in handy.

He wiped very carefully, and so as not to disturb Zhu Yan, he moved very gently, carefully wiping each of Zhu Yan's fingers.

Zhu Yan let Xu Zhiyuan wipe her hands, but her eyes never left Wen Chen.

"I...I can do anything for you, anything at all." Eager to prove himself, Wen Chen forced himself to get up.

"Do you think I need more people around me?" Zhu Yan found Wen Chendi's words laughable.

Yes, with so many people vying to serve him, why would he need me...?

Wen Chen's face, covered in bloodstains, was deathly still.

He knew that the Wen family would no longer care about his life or death; they were too busy taking care of themselves and were a family that only cared about their own interests.

Therefore, if he falls into Li Dong's hands today, he will surely die.

Zhu Yan rested his right hand on the back of the chair, his left hand on his knee, and tapped the chair randomly without any rhythm.

"But I'm still missing a dog."

Wen Chen suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He wants me to... be his dog?

Wen Chen's battered body trembled slightly as he raised his head and stared intently at Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan remained seated, a faint smile playing on her lips, casting a glance at him.

Do I have any other choice...?

Wen Chen gave up struggling and withdrew his gaze. With his head down, he crawled on all fours towards Zhu Yan, step by step.

When he reached Zhu Yan's feet, he paused, making his final internal struggle.

He lost completely.

Wen Chen lowered his head, bent down, and placed a kiss on Zhu Yan's white sneakers.

At the same time, he closed his eyes, and a tear slid down his cheek.

His last shred of dignity was crushed.

But Zhu Yan suddenly moved her feet away, Wen Chen looked up, her eyes reddened and moist.

Zhu Yan lifted Wen Shen's chin with the tip of his shoe. "Not bad." Zhu Yan rested his hands on his knees and suddenly leaned down. "But...did I give you permission to touch me?"

Wen Chen swallowed nervously.

"Don't touch me without my permission from now on, I find it dirty."

Then, Zhu Yan raised his hand, and Xu Zhiyuan understood, handing him the wet tissue in his hand.

Zhu Yan took the tissue and tossed it directly next to Wen Chen.

The meaning is obvious.

Wipe it clean.

Wen Chen didn't resist. He picked up a tissue, opened the package, and without saying a word, held Zhu Yan's feet and wiped the mud off his shoes.

Li Dong stood to the side, completely stunned.

What's going on?

Has Wen Chen, that shameless guy, managed to hook up with Young Master Zhu?

"Young Master Zhu, this..." To be honest, Li Dong was a little envious.

"What, you want to be one too?" Zhu Yan gave Li Dong a cold look.

But the next second…

With a "thud," Li Dong knelt down without any hesitation.

"Is it okay...?" Judging from his tone, he seemed to be somewhat expectant.

"You're not qualified to be a dog."

Zhu Yan had no interest in Li Dong, so he got up and, before leaving, gave Li Dong a special warning:

"I don't care how you treated him before. But now, he's like a dog I keep. You try touching him again."

"No, no, no... I wouldn't dare." Li Dong shook his head like a rattle drum.

"Wait here, someone will pick you up later." Zhu Yan left the cubicle after saying this last sentence.

When Shen Yan and Qin Ci came out of the private room, they were still in a daze; it was the first time they had ever seen such a celebratory banquet.

I originally thought Zhu Yan was just a bit carefree and unrestrained, but I never expected him to have such a cold and ruthless side.

Hmm... it seems that the usual celebratory banquets have been too lenient on them.

They swore they would never oppose the banquet in their lives, or they wouldn't even know how they died.

Lu Ze and Xu Zhiyuan had grown up with Zhu Yan since they were little, so they were used to seeing Zhu Yan like this. They even thought Zhu Yan was incredibly handsome just now.

Xu Zhiyuan, in particular, completely captivated him.

"Little Yan Yan, if you need a dog, just tell me. What do you think of me? I'm more handsome than that guy, I'll take care of you, and I'll be very affectionate." Xu Zhiyuan shamelessly followed Zhu Yan and said nonsensically.

Zhu Yan glanced at Xu Zhiyuan with disdain, wanting to slap the excess water out of his brain, "Get lost, go get treatment if you're sick."

Hey.

Successfully acted like a jerk.

Xu Zhiyuan was just waiting for Zhu Yan to scold him like that, so he could give him a good scolding.
