82 82 - Fang Gets Upset

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."
