"What do you mean by saying that it's not entirely untrue?!" Fang demanded angrily.
Ren smiled at his fiancé, who was puffed up and hissing like their feline daughter Snow at the moment. Fang's fair cheeks were puffed up and red, and Ren thought that he looked utterly adorable, especially since he was angry on Ren's behalf.
"My big darling is so cute and adorable…" Ren murmured in a daze, reaching out to caress Fang's face.
Fang glared at him. "Don't get distracted! Pay attention to the problem! We have to sue them! They can't slander you like this!" he scolded.
Ren chuckled. "How can I not get distracted when my beautiful Fang is right in front of me and looking so dashing and charming and so adorable?" he asked.
Fang huffed. "Stop trying to avoid the issue," he said. "Why haven't you taken action against these people yet?" he demanded.
"Because they are praising you and they admire you – they don't really mean any harm," Ren said with a shrug. "They are probably all self righteous and thinking that they are looking out for their idol Fang."
Fang stared at Ren as if he was a particularly idiotic and silly person who didn't understand even the most basic things.
Ren smiled at him. "Besides, how does it matter what these outsiders say about our relationship? As long as you and I love each other and are devoted to each other – does it matter what other people are thinking? I think we are quite well matched – I mean, I know that you could do better if you went looking, but even then, I'm not too bad myself, am I?" he boasted with a mischievous twinkle in his golden eyes. "Besides, they are not entirely wrong. I do want to cling to you all the time, and I am very scared that you will realise that you can easily find someone better – and I did conspire to keep you in Cosmopolis, and that's why we set up SIMS," he pointed out.
Fang rolled his eyes. "We set up SIMS together, and I was as much part of the planning and execution here as you were. And I am the one that wanted to stay in Cosmopolis with you more than anything else!" he retorted.
Ren chuckled. "But, my dear Fang, you have no idea how desperate I was to keep you by my side – if you had really wanted to go and study in Star Country or Ray Country, I would have followed you there as well like a creepy stalker," he murmured, a faint blush staining his cheeks.
Fang froze for a moment and then burst out laughing. "Ren, I can promise you that I am the one who is desperately clinging to you, not the other way round. I don't want us to live separately ever again! Never!" he said with a smile.
"I second that," Ren said immediately, his golden eyes glowing with joy. "So we can both be equally clingy with each other."
Fang nodded and then hugged Ren gingerly. "Thank you," he muttered.
Ren sighed. "My big darling, I should be the one thanking you," he said. "You are the one that makes my life worth living here in this world."
"If you want to compare notes, then I wouldn't even be alive without you," Fang murmured.
"Nonsense," Ren said. "You are the brightest star this world has seen, and I could even say that the world revolves around you. My world certainly does."
Fang pulled back and narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "You have been reading trashy romance novels and picked up corny lines to use on me," he accused.
Ren burst out laughing. "Corny or not, it's true," he said, pressing a soft kiss to Fang's brow.
Fang couldn't help but laugh softly in response.
Just then, Fang's phone rang – it was a video call request from Wolf.
Fang picked up immediately.
"The babies wanted to see the two of you," Wolf said without preamble.
The four babies came into focus, their little faces very worried.
"Hello, little ones," Fang said softly, moving closer to Ren so that both of them were visible to the babies on their screen.
Ren waved at Smoke, Shadow, Snow and Sylvia. "We are all right," he said. "Just a small thing, it's all good now. Don't worry, ok? Your Papa and I will be back home tomorrow."
Fang, too, spoke up to pacify the babies one by one, and assured them that both he and Ren were all right, and that they would be home tomorrow. He also promised them that they would take the entire weekend off from both SIMS and Sirocco, and that Ren and Fang would spend the entire weekend exclusively with the babies at home.
The four babies were somewhat mollified.
Fang put on his best smile for them and said, "See? Daddy is all right now." He pointed at Ren. "We are just keeping Daddy in the hospital for observation, but Daddy and I have already used magic and it's all fine now. Don't worry, and be good for Uncle Wolf, all right?"
Ren smiled at the babies and waved at them again.
The babies appeared to be about ninety percent convinced by now.
And then, Ren threw in the killer move. "How about I cook your favourite dinner on Saturday evening? Why don't you think about what all you want to eat, and make a list with Uncle Wolf today? Then Steward Paul and Chef Jules can make sure that all the ingredients are ready and Daddy will cook for his little ones personally on Saturday evening!" he offered.
Satisfaction level of the four babies immediately hit one hundred percent! Pacification success rate immediately reached one hundred percent!
"How about Uncle Wolf joining you all for dinner or Saturday?" Wolf asked hopefully, not wanting to let go of a chance to eat Ren's cooking – after all, it was becoming rarer and rarer for Ren to cook these days because things had been really busy recently both at SIMS and at Sirocco.
The four babies shot Wolf a condescending look, but then agreed generously, and even allowed him to call Uncle Pax and Dr. Gordon.
Having successfully pacified the babies, Ren and Fang heaved a big sigh of relief after they ended the video call.
Fang frowned at Ren. "Are you sure that you want to cook on Saturday? Won't it be too tiring?" he asked, concern pooling in his purple eyes.
Ren laughed and shook his head. "It's fine. We'll be at home on Saturday, and I'll sleep in," he said. He tapped Fang's elegant nose. "And I expect you to help me with the cooking, my dear fiancé!" he declared.
"Yes, of course," Fang agreed immediately. Even if Ren hadn't said anything, Fang would still have gone to help him in the kitchen anyway, especially when there was a lot of cooking to be done. He was reasonably sure that giving the babies a carte blanche like this to just make a list of whatever they wanted to eat was dangerous. Ren and he may end up in the kitchen all day long catering to the whims of their little ones! And Fang didn't have any hope that Wolf would be able to keep the list being made by the babies under control at all. It would be easier to believe that Wolf would actually add on to the list instead of trying to keep the list manageable!
Fang's apprehensions were proved absolutely right when they went home the next day and found a list with twenty seven dishes on it.
Fang frowned at the four babies looking up at him innocently, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
"You guys want to eat twenty seven dishes on Saturday?" Fang asked, raising an eyebrow archly. "For dinner?"
"Daddy said we could ask for whatever we wanted to eat," Shadow told Fang immediately, blinking slowly and using his beautiful golden eyes to their maximum effect.
Fang's face softened. "But twenty seven dishes!" he protested.
Smoke, Shadow, Snow and Sylvia looked at Ren pitifully, each of them making the most adorable face they could manage.
No one could resist that, let alone Ren, who had a natural tendency to pamper the people he loved, and the parent who spoilt his little ones the most!
"Daddy will cook all twenty seven dishes for his little babies," Ren declared.
"Daddy is the best!" Snow said and jumped into Ren's lap. Smoke, Shadow and Sylvia followed immediately.
Fang sighed helplessly. He was fully convinced that Ren would raise these little ones into absolutely insufferable spoilt brats if he was allowed to continue like this – but then, Fang told himself that it was a special occasion this time, and that the four babies had received a big fright with Ren collapsing like that and ending up at the hospital – so it would be all right to pamper them to their heart's content just this once.
Next time, he would keep Ren under control!
