Arthur Jose's eyes rounded in disbelief. He hurriedly turned around and asked, "Manager Villaruel, how do you know my name? Did we meet before? Eh, where is he?"
"Left." Chen Lei said and walked towards the direction where Xander took.
"Left? Why?" Arthur frowned. He has yet got the answer he wanted to hear but the man already left them. Not only did he feel some familiarity towards Xander, he also felt that he knew the man so long ago. He knew Xander as the manager in Starmoon Entertainment, but apart from that, he also thought that the man's identity was more than that. He found Xander's gaze and personality similar to the person he knew. "Did I just mistook him?"
Chen Lei slightly looked over as he sensed that Arthur was spacing out. "What are you still standing there? Do you want me to carry you?"
Arthur shook his head and followed him. "Young Master, I have something to ask."
"Speak."
"Why do I feel that something is off between you and Mr. Villaruel? I have known you for so long and this is my first time seeing you behave like that to your acquaintance. You have not even done such a thing to any woman except your beloved woman before. Young Master, have you really gotten over her? And fell to a man? How long have you known each other?"
"You're thinking too much." Chen Lei cast him a sideways glance. "Are you thinking there's some problem with my s****l orientation?"
"No! Of course. Of course not." Arthur forced a grin on his lips. "Even if I have million guts, I won't dare to think you are gay. Besides, such a good-looking and perfect man like you, isn't it a waste if you have interest in men instead of women? Right?"
Chen Lei ignored what Arthur said completely. He obviously didn't have the mood to talk about himself. That was the most boring topic for a man like himself. "How's the car? Did you call someone to come over?"
Arthur nodded. "Yes. In an hour, Luther will get us here. But, I don't think he will arrive here in time." He pointed at the sky. "Look, the sky is so dark. Anytime soon, the rain will fall. Young Master, we should hurry to find a place to stay. You can't be going to drench in the rain."
"Do you want me to look at it for you?"
"Of course not! Let me handle this. Give me a second." Arthur ran away and searched for the place to take shelter immediately. Meanwhile, Chen Lei just spared him a 'no care' glance and continued walking into a certain place that also led to a certain person.
Xander was about to close the door of a nipa hut when Chen Lei suddenly appeared in front of him, seizing his arm, stopping him from shutting the door close.
Xander frowned, one hand braced on his side annoyingly. "What are you doing here? Didn't I already chase you away? Is this really how you are? Shameless and clingy? Why can't you feel ashamed? Is my actions not clear enough? I don't want to see you. Now hands off and get lost."
Xander forced the door to close once more and Chen Lei hurriedly moved and leaned on the door.
Xander retracted his hand and glared at him, irritated. "President Chen, can't you understand human language? I am asking you to leave this place. I can't bear to breathe the same air as you."
Chen Lei crossed his arms over his chest and watched Xander coldly. Slightly tilting his head, he said, "What if I don't want to leave? What can you do to me?"
Xander's head bobbed and bit his lips in frustration. "Do you really think I won't dare to chase you away myself? Fine, then, I have to be rude… You, follow me."
Xander grabbed the man's shoulder and hauled him off the doorway. But Chen Lei was like a steep rock mountain that he was unable to pull even an inch. He was deceiving himself. He knew that he couldn't make the man do things he was not willing to do himself in the first place.
"Are you not going to move?" Xander said. "What do I have to do in order for you to stay away from me?"
"Kiss me." Chen Lei said seriously.
"In your dreams!" Xander glared at him. "President Chen, is there a problem with your s*x orientation? The person standing in front of you is clearly a man, how can you still behave like this?"
"A man?" Chen Lei chuckled softly. "Do you really think of yourself as a man? Miss Sanchez, do you really think you can deceive me? Don't forget that night in the Sunshine Hotel.
"You still dare mention that?"
Chen Lei smirked. "In my eyes, no matter what you look like, what you dress, and how manly your voice is, you are still the same person I know. Your disguise right now is nothing in my eyes. It's just an eyesore, stopping me to have a better look at your seducive body." The man walked closer to Xander and abruptly wrapped his arm on his waist, pressing their body so closely, leaving no gap in between them. Xander struggled to break free but in vain. Instead, the man leaned in and whispered in his ear, slightly rubbing his warm lips on his earlobe, making him flinch due to the pleasant sensation running down his spine due to such simple action. Chen Lei arrogantly smirked and said, voice was seductively hoarse. "You don't know how I wanted to strip your clothes off your body."
"p*****t!" Xander pushed himself away, kicking his knee on the man's crotch.
Chen Lei was quite fast. He smoothly went along the flow and let go of him. Because of what they did together, Xander was meant to fall on the ground. He was backstriking his arms in the air as if he was swimming while letting out a short scream.
Seeing that, Chen Lei moved to get his hand. Unexpectedly, Xander seeked revenge. He clutched Chen Lei's arm tightly and when the man pulled him up, he hauled him abruptly using his weight he left below.
Xander managed to stand and Chen Lei was meant to fall. Clapping his hand, he said arrogantly, "You think you can beat me?"
Xander wore a winning smile on his lips. Letting the other man fall even though he could save him, he turned around to enter inside the house. However, he had not even taken a single step when Chen Lei grabbed his hand and hauled him down with him.
Chen Lei fell on his back with Xander pinning on top of him.
Xander's jaw dropped in surprise. He was about to rise up but Chen Lei hauled his hand back and pressed their body tightly. "Where do you think you can go? Since you like to hug me, how about we stay in this position the whole night? Huh?"
Then, the rain started to fall lightly.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to starve and freeze yourself to death?" Xander pushed himself up but failed. "Take your hands off. The rain is dropping. I don't want to get soaked with you here!"
Chen Lei completely discarded the arrival of the rain and embraced him even tighter. "Are you salt? Why are you so afraid of rain? Actually, this position is quite great. If the rain gets heavier, we can still feel cold even when we are inside the hut. Why not use our body to preserve warmth? That way, we don't have to worry about freezing to death." He smiled at him followed by a mischievous wink. "What do you think?"
"What do you think, your ass!" Xander struggled, face flushed in anger. "Let go of me! I don't want to do this with you!"
Chen Lei gently shook his head. "I'm not getting up, much more letting you go. Miss Sanchez, you know me. I am a man who loves to try new things and face challenges. I have never been in the rain being intimate with a woman. Since you gave me this chance, then let's not waste it. I want us to try this. I want to know the feeling of soaking in the rain while hugging a woman."
"Try it by yourself or find someone else." Xander leaned down closer in his ear. "I'm not interested in doing things with you!"
Chen Lei's face darkened. His eardrum got irritated because of her loud voice and the anger that he had kept since earlier eventually exploded. He could no longer contain his annoyance because of Xander's repetitive provocation. Without warning, he seized Xander's head and claimed his lips ruthlessly.
