CHAPTER 413

After showering together, Andromeda and Liu Xueyi dressed casually in jeans, T-shirts, sneakers, and jackets before heading out to eat something light since they ate much last night due to all the stress over the past few days.

By the time their meals were served, Liu Xueyi\'s phone buzzed in the table, pulling their attention to it.

His eyes landed on the caller. It was Zheng Ying. He hated when someone became a nuisance in his life and simply ignored it. 

"Wouldn\'t you answer it?" Andromeda\'s voice came out clear.

"Just my ex. Nothing important." The call ended and he shrugged. "See, she\'s just seeking my attention."

Andromeda shook her head and picked up the phone. He tried to stop her but then another call came in.

·ƈθm Her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes locked on the screen and when she lifted her eyes to his, he was confused as to what she had seen. 

"It\'s Xu Fang."

"Shit." He stretched forth his hand and took hold of the phone and answered the call.

Andromeda on the other hand couldn\'t help laughing at his somwhat apologetic phase.

"Hello?" His voice came through clear and he waited for a response from Xu Fang. 

When none came after several seconds, he frowned. "Xu Fang? Hello?"

He looked down at the phone again only to see that there wasn\'t any signal bar or anything else indicating an incoming call.

"What happened?" Andromeda asked him with concern written across her face. 

"My network... No signal. I guess I will have to call him back when we leave here."

"Strange but okay. I wonder what he wanted to tell you," she said changing the topic.

Liu Xueyi shrugged. "Who knows, maybe about Zheng Ying and well, you."

"Me?" She asked taken aback why the direction the conversation went in. "Why?"

"Take a wild guess love."

She looked thoughtful for a minute and then her brow lifted. "Don\'t tell me it is because of yesterday\'s incident?"

"I won\'t." He chuckled and shook his head. "I bet he wants to know if I told you about Zheng Ying. Xu Fang may not look it but he does care about me and you."

She smiled sweetly before taking a sip of water while looking away from him. She didn\'t want to look into those beautiful black eyes right now because they would make her feel giddy.

"Naughty," Liu Xueyi teased and took a bite of his steak. "Eat up. I would visit one of the company\'s partners today before I meet up with Zheng Ying."

She nodded and ate silently. When they finished eating, she stood up, grabbed the check, paid, left some tips, and walked out.

********

Unknown to them, more than enough was buzzing on social media again concerning the little verbal fight between Liu Xueyi and Xie Tian. 

Leaning back against the white sofa in his condo, Gu Jun watched as people were commenting on what had happened on their feeds. Some even made jokes at how stupid both men had been for fighting over something so trivial—a woman.

Not that Andromeda wasn\'t worth it but everyone knew Liu Xueyi already laid claim to her since. 

She was his. He defended her back then when their intimate video was leaked. 

And they had been together since. Xie Tian on the other hand was more or less the third wheel trying to break in.

Gu Jun tutted. "Xie Tian doesn\'t know when to back down. Now this would only make him look bad," Gu Jing voiced out and shook his head. "He should have just let go of her long ago."

"You\'re probably right," another voice came through and he turned around and saw one of his friends standing behind him.

"Oh..." Gu Jun sat up properly, his gaze landing in the small exposed part of his friend\'s chest. "Yun Yu... I didn\'t hear you come in."

The man smiled and shrugged. "I\'m good with sneaking into places, remember?" His eyes moved from the phone where Liu Xueyi\'s face appeared next to Andromeda to Gu Jun\'s face who was seriously checking him out. 

"I see your taste hasn\'t changed much from last time we met," Yun Yu said and laughed.

Gu Jun grinned but quickly cleared it off.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Jun inquired.

"Just wanted to say hi before heading home from the office. Needed to round up some unfinished work. You don\'t mind if I stay a bit longer, do you? It has been ages since our last meeting, after all." The smile never left his lips.

Gu Jun nodded.

"Good. Then why not join me for a drink."

Gu Jun nodded again and scooted over, creating space for him to sit down.

"So, should we watch a movie or...?" By the time Yun You turned his head to the side he caught Gu Jun staring at him once more. "What is wrong with you today?" He asked as soon as their gazes locked. "You\'ve got the hots for someone, huh?" He teased as they both chuckled softly together. 

"Who could that be?" He added. "Do not tell me it\'s Liu Xueyi."

"What? Hell no. He\'s Andromeda\'s. Besides it\'s not Liu Xueyi I am looking at now, right?"

Yun You smirked at him. He was learning to flirt back. Good.

"Oh... So you mean me... Huh?" Gu Jun was surprised by the question and looked away. "I\'m just wondering what you\'re thinking about."

"You know... Nothing really. Just how beautiful your eyes are. They remind me of the sea when the sun shines on it."

"Shut up," Gu Jun joked and smiled shyly. "Blame it on who decided to walk in looking hot for a guy."

As if on cue, Yun Yu lowered his gaze to his body, taking in his outfit. His gaze landed on his chest where his shirt had ridden upwards slightly revealing a hint of his abs—a sight Gu Jun loved seeing every time he saw them. 

Yun Yu\'s fingers reached out slowly towards one part where there were two small holes cut out from where buttons used to be before being removed from the fabric.

Gu Jun watched him with amusement. It wasn\'t like he didn\'t enjoy the view but knowing Yun Yu, he was being a big flirt.

"So..." Gu Jun started after watching his friend reach for the button but stopped midway. "Are you going home alone tonight?" He asked instead, changing the topic because he knew that would make Yun You stop playing around and get serious again.

He nodded and then took hold of the top and pulled it down so that it covered most of his torso again while leaving only enough space open above his navel and below his belt line to show off some skin.

Gu Jun nodded approvingly.

"Or does someone wants to follow me home. I mean, I could use the company." The last sentence came out as an invitation to play along since they both enjoyed teasing each other sometimes.

"I don\'t think I can do this anymore," Gu Jun lamented and moved closer, bringing his face inches from Yun Yu who daring remained in place waiting for his friend to take the bold step.

"You know you want it." Yun Yu whispered into his ear and felt Gu Jun\'s breath against his cheek, sending shivers through him. "You know you need it."

Yun Yu\'s lips parted slightly when Gu Jun\'s tongue darted forward.
