"Yes," Wolf agreed immediately, ruffling Fang's hair affectionately. "Fang has done an amazing job of protecting Ren!"
Fang flushed, but his purple eyes glowed with happiness.
Ren smiled, too. "My knight in shining armour," he said to Fang in a mildly teasing tone.
Fang swatted half heartedly at his fiancé.
And then the four babies dragged Ren away, leaving Fang with Wolf and Pax.
Pax handed Fang some printed sheets.
Fang raised an eyebrow. "What is this?" he asked.
"Your account statements," Pax said flatly. "Please check for yourself what money came in when and from where. I assure you that Ren hasn't be secretly putting cash in your account."
Fang flushed. "I'm sorry," he murmured. "I – I didn't think about the Sirocco dividends…" He hung his head in a dejected manner. "I had a chat with Ren about this last night. That's when he showed me some of those websites and discussion boards…"
Pax nodded, but still stuffed the papers in Fang's hands anyway. "You did well on that one. Our legal team has been itching to take action against them, but Ren put it off, saying that as long as they were praising you, they should be allowed to continue," he told Fang. "Ren is no less of an idiot than you – so I'll trouble you to keep his idiocy in check, like he does for you."
Fang nodded. "I will do that," he promised. "And I will try my best to limit my idiocy as well."
"Good," Pax said with a smirk and pointed an elegant finger at the papers currently in Fang's hands. "I have also added the direct benefits Sirocco has gained from your involvement," he said. "You may want to see that, too. It's on the last sheet."
Fang nodded again. "Thank you, Pax," he said gratefully.
Pax waved away his gratitude with a casual wave of his hand.
"I also wanted to speak to you about Ren's birthday present," Fang murmured.
"Yes," Pax said. "I wanted to speak to you about that as well. I have something that Miccan43 sent over for you."
Fang was very curious. "What is it?" he asked right away. He had looked up Miccan43 and was very impressed with their profile!
Pax chuckled. "Miccan43 called it an inspiration capsule," he said lightly. "It will probably help you decide on the customisation you want in the massage chairs and luxury car from Miccan43."
Fang's eyes sparkled and he held out his hand.
Pax shook his head fondly, and then pulled out a small capsule like object from his pocket and handed it to Fang.
Fang immediately opened it and found a sheet of paper in it, with lots of notes written in small, neat handwriting. As he read, his eyes glowed more and more!
"This is so amazing!" Fang said happily, tucking the note back into the capsule like object and stuffing it in his own pocket. "Pax, please convey my thanks to Miccan43! I'll get to work on the customisations I want in the massage chairs and the luxury car from Miccan43, and I'll have it ready in a couple of days for you!"
Pax nodded. "That sounds good," he said. "We'll have everything ready before Ren's birthday, then." He narrowed his eyes at Fang. "Do you still want to throw a huge party?" he asked.
Fang scratched his head sheepishly. "I don't know," he murmured. "Would it make Ren happy if I threw him a huge party?" he asked.
Pax and Wolf both rolled their eyes.
"Kid, you could give Ren a piece of torn underwear for his birthday and he would still be happy because it is you who are giving it to him," Wolf pointed out in an exasperated tone.
Fang bit his lip. "I don't want to disappoint him," he murmured. "But I don't want him to feel annoyed, either…"
Wolf huffed. "How can a birthday party annoy someone?" he asked. "Besides, I don't know if anyone has ever thrown a birthday party for Ren before."
Fang wasn't too sure about that. After all, until last year, Ren had lived in another world with a happy family where his parents and siblings all loved him and doted on him. Surely they must have thrown grand birthday parties for him? And if that was true, then wouldn't Ren feel short changed if Fang didn't throw any parties for him in this world? Wasn't Fang supposed to be the one who doted on Ren in this world?
Fang decided that he needed to speak to Sylvia urgently about this. After all, she was the only source of information he had about Ren's life in the previous world where he had lived – other than Ren himself, of course.
"I want to throw a party for Ren," Fang murmured. "But I think it would be better to speak to Sylvia before we decide…? What do you think, Pax and Wolf?"
Pax and Wolf exchanged a pleased glance and then the twin brothers smiled at him proudly.
"That makes sense," Pax said. "You check with little Sylvia and let us know, and then we can start making arrangements accordingly, all right?"
Fang nodded. "Thank you," he said gratefully.
Both Pax and Wolf stepped forward and patted the younger boy's shoulders.
"You don't have to thank us," Wolf said. "For Pax and I, you and Ren and the babies are our family."
"You are our family, too," Fang replied. "I can speak for myself and Ren and the babies."
The twin brothers smiled in response.
"What are you guys discussing?" Ren's voice came from the door. The four babies were clinging to Ren, and behind them were Steward Paul and Chef Jules with a food trolley. Clearly Ren and the four little ones had been shooed to the dining room by Steward Paul and Chef Jules.
"Food is ready," Chef Jules declared. "Please take your seats at the table!"
Fang rushed forward to help Ren with seating the babies around the dining table, and Pax and Wolf happily took their own seats at the table as well.
Chef Jules brought out platter after platter of utterly delicious food, and the harmonious (if oddly diverse in terms of species) family enjoyed their meal thoroughly, chatting amicably.
Smoke, Shadow, Snow and Sylvia were a bit clingier than usual, but that was to be expected, after all. It was unusual for the babies to remain overnight without the presence of even one of their fathers – and knowing that Ren had collapsed at the hospital had really scared them, especially because Sylvia had been able to sense Ren's magic collapsing. The other three hadn't felt it as acutely as Sylvia, but since all four babies were magical, they all had an inkling. And it had worried them a lot. Even when Wolf had come home to look after them and had told them that everything was all right now, the babies hadn't been able to feel at ease completely until after the video call with Fang and Ren. So, it was to be expected that they would stick to their fathers a little more than usual today, especially where Ren was concerned.
Ren and Fang didn't mind. After all, these four babies of theirs were their heart and soul. And, besides, Ren's modus operandi for anyone he loved was to pamper them extravagantly in every manner possible, and Fang and the four babies were the biggest recipients of this kind of overbearing affection! They just had to look at something and Ren would get it for them immediately. It wasn't just the private jet for the four babies and the private island that Ren had recently acquired – it was a myriad of things. It could be something small, like an extra cookie, or something huge, like a private jet. To Ren, the scale was immaterial. If someone he loved wanted something, Ren would do everything he could to get it for them.
And, now that Fang was planning for Ren's birthday, he wanted to do the same thing. He didn't know if it was because he had been influenced by Ren or not (and if Fang were to ask anyone else, especially Pax or Wolf, they would definitely say that this was Ren's influence on Fang) – but he knew for sure that he wanted to pamper Ren as much as Ren pampered him and the babies.
Of course, everyone whole heartedly agreed with Fang on this matter. No one would deny that Ren deserved to be pampered!
The meal lasted for a long time – partly because Chef Jules had made so many delicious things that it was impossible not to feel hungry after looking at the exquisite dishes on the table, and partly because of the harmonious atmosphere in the room. Ren, Fang, Pax, Wolf and the four babies were all in a good mood today, and the babies were even more enthused because they knew that Ren and Fang were going to take the entire weekend off and spend the time with them exclusively! And they would get to eat Ren's cooking after ages!
