The yandere president's boyfriend!

Chapter 318 Don’t go to court tomorrow, let’s call in sick

As night falls, the stars hide behind thick clouds, leaving only a faint silver glow that quietly falls on a quiet corner of the imperial city.

The flickering candlelight illuminates two intertwined figures, weaving a gentle and complex picture in the boundless night.

Xiao Yichen, as the prime minister of the current dynasty, is usually known for his impartiality, calmness and self-control. However, at this moment, he has let down all his guard, and his eyes are flashing with unprecedented tenderness and anxiety.

The person sitting opposite him is his best friend and also the secret hidden deep in his heart - Bai Muchen, a talented young man who is willing to hide behind the scenes and silently support him.

"I love you too..."

Xiao Yichen's voice was low and firm, as if he had traveled through a long time and finally found his home.

However, before he could finish his words, the long-suppressed emotions burst out like a flood, instantly drowning him.

He rushed forward and hugged Bai Muchen tightly in his arms. Their lips touched. At that moment, all words turned into silent communication.

Bai Muchen was shocked by this sudden enthusiasm, and his hands involuntarily wrapped around Xiao Yichen's waist. The two were so close that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

When Xiao Yichen's kiss slowly slid down the side of his neck and finally stopped at the sensitive Adam's apple, a flash of astonishment flashed in Bai Muchen's eyes, and then was replaced by deeper feelings.

"In vain, my vain,"

Xiao Yichen's voice whispered in his ear, with a bit of dominance and a bit of pleading.

"I can't go back on my word. No matter what the future holds, you must walk side by side with me, okay?"

The last few words were spoken almost with a tremor, revealing his inner struggle and anxiety.

Bai Muchen stared into those eyes filled with desire and anxiety, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

He knew that the reason why Xiao Yichen was so uneasy was because he had hidden a big secret from him.

But at this moment, all the hesitation turned into determination: "Okay, no matter what happens, I will be with you."

This promise, like a spring breeze blowing across the frozen lake, caused ripples in Xiao Yichen's heart.

He suddenly tightened his arms, as if he wanted to integrate Bai Muchen into his own bones and blood, proving his determination and love with his actions.

........

In the dead of night, the only things left in their world are their heartbeats and breathing.

Xiao Yichen gently stroked Bai Muchen's hair, his voice hoarse and gentle:

"Don't go to court tomorrow. Let's call in sick. I think we need some time to sort out this sudden emotion and make our relationship more legitimate."

Hearing this, Bai Muchen curled up a gentle smile and nodded.

He knew that Xiao Yichen was considering him and was also looking for a safe haven for himself.

So, the two of them tacitly decided to stay away from the turmoil of the court for a while and enjoy the hard-earned peace and happiness.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone into the room, Xiao Yichen had quietly gotten up and prepared breakfast for Bai Muchen.

He was busy and careful, for fear of waking up his sleeping lover.

However, when Bai Muchen woke up and saw the steaming food on the table and Xiao Yichen waiting quietly beside him, a warm feeling surged in his heart and his eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

After breakfast, the two men asked the emperor for a long vacation on the grounds of feeling unwell.

Although the emperor was surprised, he approved the leave considering Xiao Yichen's hard work and great contributions.

Thus, the two were able to temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle of the imperial city and come to a quiet villa in the suburbs, where they began their "recluse" life.

Inside the courtyard, the fragrance of flowers filled the air, and green trees formed a shady backdrop. Xiao Yichen and Bai Muchen would stroll along the forest path or sit in the pavilion, sipping tea and playing chess, enjoying this rare moment of leisure and freedom.

They talked about poetry and songs, and shared each other's dreams and past. Every moment was filled with sweetness and warmth.

However, the good times did not last long. As time went by, the uneasiness in Xiao Yichen's heart resurfaced.

He knew very well how disrespectful and immoral his relationship with Bai Muchen was in the eyes of the world.

He was afraid that this relationship would bring them endless trouble and harm, and he was even more afraid that Bai Muchen would be implicated.

Finally one day, when night fell and the stars dotted the sky again, Xiao Yichen confided his concerns to Bai Muchen.

After hearing this, Bai Muchen just gently held his hand and said softly:

"Yi Chen, there's no need for words between you and me. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, I'm willing to walk through it with you. As long as we have love in our hearts, we have nothing to fear."

These words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly dispelling Xiao Yichen's uneasiness.

He hugged Bai Muchen tightly, as if he wanted to deeply imprint this determination and courage in his heart.

As time goes by, the relationship between Xiao Yichen and Bai Muchen grows deeper.

They began to try to reveal this forbidden love to people around them. Although they encountered countless cold stares and ridicules, they received more understanding and support from their true friends.

This makes them more convinced that as long as there is love in their hearts, nothing is impossible.

Finally one day, when the imperial city once again ushered in a grand celebration, Xiao Yichen brought Bai Muchen into the celebration site.

They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding hands, and did not hide their love for each other.

People looked at them sideways and talked about them, but they didn't care at all.

At this special moment, Xiao Yichen decided to publicly announce his love with Bai Muchen to prove their courage and persistence to the world.

Xiao Yichen stepped onto the stage and said in a resonant voice, "Today, I want to introduce to you the handsome man next to me. He is the person I love most in my life—Bai Muchen."

There was an uproar in the audience, but Xiao Yichen continued:

"Our love may not be accepted by the world, but we firmly believe that true love is innocent. We hope everyone can give us their blessings."

After saying that, he leaned over and kissed Bai Muchen on the cheek, and the whole place fell silent.

Then, there was a burst of warm applause, and many people were moved to tears.

From then on, the love story of Xiao Yichen and Bai Muchen became a legend in the imperial city. With their courage and persistence, they broke the shackles of the world and wrote their own legend.
