The Villain Saves The Male Lead

The minister huffed in annoyance. "That's exactly what we told him," he said. "But some people just don't want to understand these things! That King has a whole harem for himself - he simply refuses to believe that CEO Ren and Fang are an exclusive couple!"

Ren smiled at the angry minister. "Fang is the only one I'll ever be with in my life," he said firmly.

The minister looked at Fang with a complicated expression. "I'm afraid you may have some trouble coming your way, son," he said quietly. "That King is not used to taking no for an answer...and he won't lash out at CEO Ren directly since Ren just saved his daughter, but he might make things difficult for you to get to CEO Ren instead."

Wade frowned. "That's awful," he said. "Can't we do something about it? What if he abducts Fang...?"

"I don't think things will get to that point so soon," the minister replied. "I discussed the matter with the Prime Minister as well, and we think that he'll first make a generous offer to CEO Ren. If he refuses, he'll offer more. If he still refuses, he may approach Fang and try to entice him away from CEO Ren...and if even that fails, he may resort to worse things break you up...like causing a public scandal or creating misunderstandings between the two of you. If all else fails, he may use physical force."

Ren frowned. "Perhaps I should visit Dune Country and meet him before any of this comes to pass," he muttered.

"You're not going anywhere near a royal of any nation by yourself!" Fang snapped.

Ren rubbed his temples. "Fang...you have to go back to Cosmopolis soon..."

"I'm not going anywhere if people eyeing my man are hovering around you," Fang declared. "It's not that I won't pass the qualifying exams if I miss school anyway."

"But if you're not able to study properly, you won't get the top ranking you wanted," Ren said.

Fang glared at him. "Do you think I'll be able to study peacefully at home when I'm worrying about some shameless royal or royal minion climbing into your bed?!" he demanded.

"No one's getting into my bed except you," Ren assured him.

Fang rolled his eyes. "You have no idea how attractive you are," he told Ren. "But normal people are still ok, they respect you and admire you in their hearts but they won't dare to force anything on you. But the royalty are different - and you seem to have a peculiar charm that attracts royalty to you like bees to honey!"

Ren laughed. "That's the filter of love in your eyes, my little darling," he said, poking Fang's forehead lightly. "Not everyone regards me as highly as you do."

"No, Big Brother, Fang is right," Wade said. "The princess couldn't stop talking about how great you are...even though she was making eyes at Fang earlier at the museum."

"Remember the Dragon Queen and how persistently she proposed to you even though I was sitting right next to you?" Fang pointed out.

"There's some merit to that idea," Pax said. "I remember we had a fair bit of trouble in Star Continent because the imperial twins both took a fancy to you, Ren."

Fang's eyes widened in shock. "When was this?!" he demanded angrily. "Why don't I know about it?"

Wolf sniggered. "Oh, there's plenty more that you don't know," he said. "I can think of two more royals right now who were chasing Ren desperately just before he arrived in Sand Country."

Fang's beautiful face was black as thunder right now. "Why does royalty always want you?" he asked Ren. "Do you have some special pheromones or something?!"

The minister shook his head ruefully. "You must really be exuding some special pheromones that attracts royalty, CEO Ren," he said with a laugh.

Ren ignored him and grabbed Fang's hand. "Darling..." he murmured softly. "You know that you are the only one in my eyes."

Fang glared at him.

"In his defence, Ren did refuse everyone properly, and no one's bothered him for a while now," Pax spoke up.

Ren shot him a grateful look.

"Fang, my little darling, don't be angry," Ren cajoled.

Fang sighed. "I'm not angry," he said. "I'm just worried."

"There's no need to worry," Ren assured him. "I'll handle it."

The minister coughed lightly. "Actually...the King of Dune Country isn't as easy to deal with as the others," he reminded them. "Perhaps it'd be better for both of you to return to Cosmopolis for now. CEO Ren, we can make arrangements to let you supervise everything here remotely, and I promise that we'll try our best to make it work properly."

"That should be doable," Pax said. "If required, I can fly in once every two weeks to check on things."

Ren was very grateful for the suggestion. He wouldn't admit it, but he'd been a little homesick for Cosmopolis for a while now. It'd be nice to go back and get together properly with his family.

Ren turned to Fang. "What do you think?" he asked.

Fang clasped Ren's hand tightly. "I think it's a great idea," he muttered. "Let's go home with everyone, Ren. The house doesn't feel right without you, to be honest."

Ren relaxed. he looked at Pax. "When can we leave?" he asked. He was simply dying to get out of here and get away from all these troublesome characters that kept springing up from heaven knows where. All Ren wanted was to be left alone and in peace so that he could enjoy his life with his Fang and the babies.

"You two can leave tomorrow if you want," Pax said generously. "I'll take a couple of days to wrap things up and then I'll join you."

Fang finally smiled. "Great!" he said enthusiastically. "We'll go home with the babies tomorrow, then!"

"No more pesky royals to deal with!" Wolf muttered.
