Tangled Webs of Braxton Chapter 4

Coming out of the piano room, Braxton Bai waved goodbye to Zander Zhou and said good night to each other.

When he returned to the bedroom, he didn't see the black cat. Logically speaking, it should be sleeping on the bedside at this time.

"Maverick Mo? Where are you?" Braxton Bai searched along the corridor for fear that the cat would get lost.

This neo-Chinese style mansion was the property left by his parents. It was decorated in a luxurious and grand style. It took several minutes to walk around this floor.

Finally, Braxton Bai heard a cat's meow.

Following the sound, I found the agile figure of the black cat.

"Maverick Mo, why did you run out? Come back with me, it's time to go to bed." He quickened his pace and walked closer.

When the two sides were two or three meters away, the black cat suddenly turned around and ran away, randomly sneaking into a guest bedroom with the door ajar.

That was Fletcher Fu's residence, and he had just arranged for servants to clean it today.

But Braxton Bai didn't know who lived here, so he thought it was an empty room with an open door for ventilation, so he followed him in in order to catch the cat.

The black cat hid in the cloakroom, jumped up easily with his strong body, and hid in the closet.

It deliberately kept silent and lay there licking its fur leisurely. It took Braxton Bai a long time to find it.

"Why are you so disobedient? It's late now and there's no time to play hide-and-seek." Braxton Bai picked up the six-pound cat, rubbed its back and walked out.

Unfortunately, the moment he stepped out of the door, he bumped into Fletcher Fu, who had just finished his fitness and was covered in sweat.

"Why are you here?" Fletcher Fu asked.

The man was wearing a black vest, with strong and stylish bronze muscles on his shoulders, and a semi-wet towel casually draped around his neck.

Braxton Bai stepped back in fear and quickly explained, "I, I came here to look for the cat, and it just ran in by accident."

Looking down and seeing the cat in the boy's arms, Fletcher Fu believed what he said.

But his sharp eyes, fierce aura, aggressiveness and oppression were so strong that anyone who met him would shrink back in fear.

Not to mention that Fletcher Fu also made bold statements about killing Bai Yiyi.

"Sorry, Mr. Fu, I didn't know this was the room you lived in. I'm leaving now." Braxton Bai wanted to escape, but failed.

"Are you afraid of me?" The man closed the door tightly, stretched out his arm to stop the boy, and approached step by step.

Until he forced the young man to the corner and put his left wrist on the wall in a wall-dong posture.

Braxton Bai couldn't guess what he was going to do, and lowered his head in panic, "I, I've already apologized, don't be angry, I really didn't mean to break in."

The man ordered impatiently, "Who asked you to apologize? Look into my eyes."

Braxton Bai didn't react, so Fletcher Fu forcibly twisted his chin and forced him to raise his head and look up at him.

"Am I that scary? You're all so cowardly. If you dare to look at me like a monster again, I might really tear you apart."

The black cat in his arms seemed to sense danger, and with its fur all over its body, it roared and rushed towards the man in front of it.

Fletcher Fu raised his hand to block it, but was caught off guard by the black cat's sharp claws. He reacted quickly and grabbed the cat's neck firmly and firmly.

The black cat, with its weak spot being grasped, fluttered for a while and then stopped, its momentum weakened a lot.

"Hey, you stinky cat! How dare you------"

"Mr. Fu! I'm sorry!" Fletcher Fu's anger was ready to explode. At the critical moment, Bai Yiyi hugged his arm holding the cat.

Afraid that he would be cruel, Braxton Bai begged, "I didn't discipline Maverick Mo well. It didn't scratch you on purpose. Don't, don't hurt it, please...please let it go." "

The boy's eyes were red, and he looked as delicate as a pear blossom in the rain, which made me feel pity for him.

Although Fletcher Fu didn't understand romance, he was still a man of flesh and blood who was kind and gentle to women, and he couldn't stand seeing such a scene.

"Tsk, it's so noisy."

Fletcher Fu threw the cat into his arms, with dissatisfaction written all over his face, "Why are you crying? Did I hit you? It was me who was scratched, but it made it seem like I was bullying you."

The black cat was stimulated, jumped off Braxton Bai, and disappeared in a flash.

Originally, Braxton Bai planned to chase the cat, but unexpectedly discovered that the man's arm was bleeding and scratched deeply by his claws.

"Um, please wait for me for a moment." After saying that, Braxton Bai ran back to the bedroom to get the medicine box, and walked in carrying a white box.

He took Fletcher Fu to the sink to clean his wounds and asked him to sit on the sofa.

Apply iodine to disinfect and stop bleeding. After wrapping the forearm with medical gauze and bandage, wrap it a few times and seal it with medical tape.

The whole process was quick and easy and was completed in just a few minutes.

"I'll leave the medicine box here for now. You'll need to change the medicine in two days. Maverick Mo has been vaccinated and has had regular checkups. She's not sick. If you're worried, I'll go with you to the hospital for vaccinations tomorrow."

"......Yeah." Fletcher Fu didn't remember what he said at all. His attention was completely attracted by Braxton Bai's beautiful face.

Until the young man left, his eyes still lingered at the door for a long time.

Fletcher Fu looked at the white bow tied on the outermost layer of the bandage with his brows lowered, his expression dazed. Suddenly, he covered his face with one hand, lowered his head even lower, and his ears were red as if they were burning.

This was...the first time someone had been so gentle to him.

It's not because I covet his status and background, nor am I afraid of his bad character, it's just out of pure kindness.

Braxton Bai is a pretty cute boy.

I just thought I was going to lose my temper and was almost scared to tears.

Bai Yi returned to the bedroom in shock, exhausted both physically and mentally. He couldn't help but sigh, now he could finally relax his vigilance and rest peacefully.

However, when he pushed the door open and entered, he saw Lennox Lu sitting beside his bed.

"Of course, where did you go just now? I didn't see you in the piano room, and you weren't in the bedroom." As he spoke, Lennox Lu gently took the black cat lying on his lap aside.

He patted his legs and signaled, "Come here, come closer to me."

Braxton Bai's hands and feet were a little hesitant and uneasy.

If it were before today, if he had not overheard the conversation of several people, he would have laughed and thrown himself into the man's arms as usual, sitting on his lap and acting coquettishly.

But he wasn't in the mood for that at the moment.

Lennox Lu made him both disappointed and scared.

Whenever Braxton Bai thought about the fact that Lennox Lu's careful care for him over the past ten years was a conspiracy with ulterior motives, his heart felt as if it was torn apart. This wound might never heal.

He regarded Lennox Lu as a family member, but he betrayed him.

"Uncle Lu, it's very late, why don't you go back to the house and sleep?"

Braxton Bai stood there and refused to move, so Lennox Lu stood up and walked over to him. Without saying a word, he picked him up and put him on the bed.

After turning off the lights with a click, Lennox Lu casually lifted the quilt and covered the two of them.

He lay on his side, his strong arms restraining the boy's slender waist, his chest pressed against Braxton Bai's back.

"Ranran is angry with me. Did I disappoint you?" Lennox Lu asked this question without any context. Braxton Bai thought he guessed that he was eavesdropping outside the study, and his heart rate soared instantly.

But the next second, Lennox Lu K!ssed his earlobe and whispered, "Just because I didn't agree to your study abroad, you deliberately avoided my sight and gave me a cold look, right?"

"I didn't give you a cold shoulder." The boy retorted weakly.

During dinner, he felt too guilty to look Lennox Lu in the eye. Unexpectedly, in the other person's eyes, he seemed to be sulking.

Rubbing the boy's hair, Lennox Lu closed his eyes and said patiently, "The world outside is too dangerous. You will be safest only if you stay by my side. Ranran, let's just stay together like this and spend our lives together."

As for the other two uninvited guests who covet his treasure, he must get rid of them when necessary.
