The Villain Saves The Male Lead

After Wade was driven away, Ren dragged Fang into their bedroom and apologised profusely.

"It's all right," Fang said bitterly. "Things like this are bound to happen sooner or later since there's such a difference in our status...some people might even be able to drag out the truth about my background."

Ren hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry," he murmured. "I'll fix this problem, I promise. I won't let anyone talk nonsense about you."

Fang sighed. "I don't think Wade was malicious right now, actually. I think he was just worried about you. He's a bit naive, isn't he?"

"No amount of naivety can pardon slandering someone without proof!" Ren said irritably. "I'll deal with him, my darling. I bet he'll come to apologise to you on his own soon enough, even without my interference."

Fang fell silent. "They're not really wrong, you know," he murmured. "I'm filthy...and I wouldn't know if I'd actually fathered a child somewhere."

Ren's heart ached at his miserable expression. He caressing Fang's face with gentle fingers.

"You aren't and you haven't, my little darling," Ren said firmly. "We checked when we were running a clean up...do you think I'd not have immediately brought home any child who bore half your genes?"

Fang looked at him, surprised.

Ren frowned slightly. "What's this? Why are you so surprised? You think I'd leave a child of your blood with random strangers?"

"Why not?" Fang asked. "It's not that I'd have fathered them willingly..."

"But they'd still be a part of you, and that's important to me. Every single part of you is precious," Ren said. "If there really was a child, we'd be raising them together ourselves."

"Even if the other half of their genes came from... elsewhere?" Fang challenged.

"Doesn't matter where the rest of it comes from," Ren replied promptly. "As long as a child has a single drop of your blood, I'd love them and cherish them as my own."

Fang burst into tears.

Feeling heartbroken, Ren could only hold him gently in his arms and comfort him for a long time.

When Fang finally calmed down, Ren said quietly, "My little darling, if you'd like to add a human baby to our family later..."

Fang shook his head. "I'm happy with the babies we have now," he muttered, burying his head in Ren's shoulder. "I wouldn't want a human baby unless it bore both our genes."

Ren stroked his hair. "We could certainly conduct some research on that," he said. "In my previous world, a team of researchers had just announced their success on this subject a few days before I died...pity I don't know the full details of their work and we'll have to start from scratch."

Fang stiffened. "Really?" he whispered. "You're... you're not saying that to console me?"

Ren put a hand over his heart and smiled. "Cross my heart and hope to die..."

Fang's palm blocked his mouth before he could continue. "Don't talk about dying," he said fiercely.

Ren kissed the palm that was touching his lips.

Fang blushed. "Can we...try?" he whispered. "Do you think there's a chance we could have a baby with both our genes...?"

"As long as you want to, we can definitely try," Ren promised. "It's not like we're short of time - and even if we don't succeed, we still have four beautiful babies of our own, don't we?"

Fang nodded. "Thank you," he whispered.

Ren simply kissed the younger man's brow in response.

Fang's ears were red as he said softly, "Won't you comfort me properly...?"

Ren froze, and then blushed furiously. "Right now?" he asked, his cheeks aflame.

Fang pouted. "It's been days," he complained.

Ren shook his head helplessly. "Anything for my beloved," he said, and went down on his knees, reaching for Fang's waistband.

Realising Ren's intention, Fang said quickly, "Don't, it's dirty!"

Ren raised an eyebrow. "There's nothing dirty about you," he said firmly. "But I don't mind giving you a shower massage!"

Sometime later, Fang leaned against the shower stall, satiated, and Ren wiped his mouth with a strange expression. He'd watched a good number of videos to learn this, and it wasn't as great as they'd made it out to be.

Fang's blissful expression, however, made him think that perhaps he could do this for his boyfriend on special occasions.

Fang watched Ren in a daze for a few moments before something occurred to him.

"Don't swallow!" Fang cried, helping Ren up. "Quick, spit it out!"

Ren simply laughed. "It's a bit too late to worry about that now," he said.

"Do you feel sick?" Fang asked worriedly.

Ren laughed and shook his head.

Fang bit his lip nervously. "Then...can we continue in the bedroom...?" he asked.

The stamina of Fang was quite fearsome, Ren thought to himself. He nodded.

Fang picked up Ren in his arms and walked out of the bathroom.

Ren was tossed about by the younger man for a long, long time, until he was too exhausted to lift a finger.

Fang cleaned him up and then gathered Ren in his arms. He kissed Ren's forehead and rubbed his back in soothing circles, trying to comfort the older man.

"Tired, my love?" he asked gently, even though he knew that his beloved Ren really was completely and utterly exhausted.

Ren nodded sleepily and burrowed into his arms. A heartbeat later, he was fast asleep.

Fang chuckled softly and stared at Ren's sleeping face for a long time, wondering how on earth he managed to get fortunate enough to get this treasure of a man. His heart was full of warmth and love and gratitude and all he wanted was to spend the rest of his life like this, with Ren and the babies by his side. He caressed Ren's sleeping face with very gentle fingers, making sure that he didn't disturb the other man's sleep. Then he turned Ren over and massaged his waist dexterously, lacing his fingers generously with magic to increase the efficacy of the massage. After their especially enthusiastic activities just now, Ren definitely needed the extra care or he'd be sore tomorrow....and that would make him grumpy. And a grumpy Ren, although adorable in Fang's eyes, was difficult to deal with!
