The Villain Saves The Male Lead

Two days later, Pax had already sorted everything out, and bigshots from media houses all over the world were frantically calling Fang and Ren to apologise to them. In several jurisdictions, including Cosmopolis and Sand Country, courts had even granted Fang monetary compensation.

And so, not only was Fang's reputation restored, he was also quite a wealthy young man now!

"Pax, you're a genius!" Ren praised, his golden eyes shining with admiration.

The story Pax had come up with, fully backed by credible evidence, was nothing short of a dramatic movie script. It was a touching tale of how an orphaned young man reluctantly participated in clinical trials run by a sperm bank so that he could earn some money to help feed his fellow orphans at the orphanage he lived at, since they were desperately short of funds. Somehow, one of his samples was accidentally mislabeled and ended up as an IVF sample for a couple in Sand Country. Unfortunately, the whole family had perished in an accident, leaving only the baby girl, who was a few months old. The baby had been in an orphanage, but either due to negligence or inadequate staff, she had somehow crawled out of the orphanage and gotten caught by human traffickers, since a pretty child like her would sell for a lot of money. Coincidentally, one of Ren's staff members had seen the child and had been stupefied at her appearance, since she was the splitting image of Fang. Ren had immediately sent out people to rescue the child and investigate the matter, and then taken the baby home.

Fang's reputation soared, naturally, and so did Ren's, and everyone who had bad mouthed him before suffered the consequences of offending CEO Ren. The legal team of Sirocco was extra busy filing defamation suits!

Wade and other schoolmates of Fang were desperately trying to get in touch with him to apologise, but neither Fang nor Ren were in any mood to entertain them.

Steward Paul and Jules, on the other hand, started doting on Fang even more - if anyone saw them now, they would think Fang was their master instead of Ren!

Pax had also taken this opportunity to get rid of a large group of human traffickers successfully!

As for baby Sylvia, she was currently sitting on Uncle Wolf's lap with the three furballs.

Sylvia had already apologised to Fang several times for creating so much trouble for him, but Fang had told her each time that it wasn't her fault at all and since she was his daughter now, it was naturally his job to protect her as well as Snow, Smoke and Shadow.

Sylvia had taken a great liking to this new Papa of hers, naturally, and she often have him pointers on how to develop his magic. Ren was a prodigy in magical terms, and his way of teaching Fang was rather haphazard...and thus, under Sylvia's systematic tutelage, Fang's magic made rapid progress - so much so, that within a few years, he would actually surpass Ren! But that was a story for later.

Currently, the little family was fawning over Pax and his brilliant idea and execution. He'd dealt with everything so smoothly and efficiently and quickly, that not even the strictest of investigations would find anything amiss in his story.

Fang and Ren were now being adored and worshipped by the public, and several children from the Orchid Orphanage had come forward and spoken about how well Fang had treated them and how he'd often gone out to do odd jobs at shops and restaurants and other places to earn some extra money so that the younger children at the orphanage didn't starve to death. Fang was pretty much a saint in the eyes of the public, and Ren's doting attitude towards Fang was quite appreciated. Many people sent their sincere blessings to the young couple, saying that someone as good as Fang deserved to be cherished, and that Ren treating him like a precious treasure and protecting him fiercely was only right. Pax also recirculated the earlier stories about Fang saving Ren, and the couple's public support of each other, making the impact even more powerful.

Of course, after all this was done, Pax had flown over to Sand Country with his brother Wolf and given Ren a thorough scolding for his carelessness!

"Next time, give me some warning in advance!" Pax concluded finally, after half an hour of shouting at Ren and ten minutes of shouting at Fang.

Sylvia watched Uncle Pax in awe, wondering if she should interfere. However, the three furballs quickly updated their new sister about Pax's status and explained that Ren often got scolded by Pax exactly like a misbehaving little brother would get scolded by a mature and sensible big brother. Besides, for all facts and purposes, Pax was more essential to Sirocco than Ren himself.

"Yes, sir," Ren murmured, his ears still ringing.

"And since we're talking about advance warning...Snow, Smoke and Shadow will also have human forms in the future. Smoke and Shadow will take after Ren, and Snow will most likely look like my offspring," Fang said mildly.

Pax cursed for a while, and Wolf quickly covered the ears of all the babies.

Ren winced and Fang threw a protective arm around his boyfriend's waist, supporting him.

"What happened? Do you feel unwell?" Fang asked anxiously.

Ren shook his head ruefully.

Pax rubbed his temples. "How long?!" he demanded.

"At least two to three years," Ren replied. "Maybe a bit more. Depends on how their magic progresses..."

"All at the same time?" Pax demanded. He would have to make arrangements for things like this in advance, and he couldn't do so without a proper time line being given to him!

Ren shrugged helplessly and the veins on Pax's face throbbed visibly.

"Probably not," Fang said, tapping his chin thoughtfully. "Smoke and Shadow are a bit older than Snow, so..."

I'm cleverer than the twins. Snow pointed out haughtily.

You're still our little sister. Smoke said.

Shadow agreed.. We'll change first, and we'll be handsome like Daddy.
