The shop really values customer privacy. The white shopping bag is simple yet classy, and no one can tell it contains a life-sized replica of a Russian hunk’s big Dior.
Xiao Yu walked out with a spring in his step, looking like a little kid trying to act mature by wearing adult clothes.
Isn’t it just a little mischief?
He, the Little Young Master Xiao, is so formidable in Central City that he should be living up to the rumors of playing around with Alphas from all over the world.
It took a while for the heat to fade from his tender face. He pressed the back of his hand against his cheek to check the temperature. His carefully groomed eyebrows raised slightly, and he quickly felt speechless about his impulsive purchase.
“Manager, name your price. How much to put a missing person notice on the big screen?”
Not far away, two men were pulling at each other, seemingly in a big disagreement.
“This isn’t about money!” The manager, looking troubled, shook his head and waved his hands. “Leon is an international boxer. It’s not confirmed if he’s missing. You want me to announce it to the world and cause panic?”
“Besides, this is a mall, not a police station. Go find someone else!”
The short man who had just boasted about having plenty of money quickly chased after him.
“Let’s talk this over…!”
“Haven’t you seen Leon’s matches? It’s a real Alpha man’s competition. If you watched, you wouldn’t want this superstar to fall!”
He pulled out an iPad and started playing a video.
The matches were brutal, with punches landing hard. Many seemingly strong contestants ended up injured. Xiao Yu didn’t like watching such inhumane competitions. He was only vaguely familiar with the name Leon and wasn’t interested at all.
As he unintentionally passed by the two arguing men, his soft Omega gaze inadvertently glanced over.
In an instant, it was like a blow to the head.
Without thinking, he pointed at the tablet and shouted, “That stinky Russian, the one who acted like a hooligan a few days ago!”
And he’s a boxer?
Knocking people out with his tongue?
Hearn let go of the manager, who slipped away like a loach, but he didn’t care. He clung to Xiao Yu’s wrist like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline, almost in tears.
“Sir, have you seen Leon? Is he still alive?”
The Omega’s radiant face pulled into a sneer.
“He—”
Seeing the man’s scruffy, haggard state, he held back his harsh words. His rosy lips curled into a sarcastic smile. “He’s fine, still playing S&M in the cold. Are you his fan?”
The erotic vocabulary had nothing to do with the private-life-conscious Leon.
The suddenly revitalized Beta was momentarily stunned, automatically ignoring the Omega’s strange words.
He handed over a business card, respectful and pleading.
“I’m his agent, my name is Hearn, from the Federation!”
Xiao Yu didn’t take it, frowning. “Don’t give it to me. I’ve only met him once. Are all athletes this messy? He licked me that day. As his agent, aren’t you going to give me an explanation?”
The Omega crossed his arms defensively.
His expression was lively, with a small mole on his cheek, like a gem with a fiery sheen, bold and flamboyant.
“But…”
He waved his delicate hand, smiling.
“If he’s too repressed and needs someone to slap him, I can oblige.” He’d already slapped him once, and it felt good.
The Little Young Master looked smug, his invisible fox tail practically wagging behind him.
Hearn was stunned.
People who didn’t know might not realize Leon’s international influence. In the past, no matter what they thought, everyone was respectful and even fearful of Leon on the surface.
This Omega was the first to speak of Leon like this.
Could it be that the cold Russian fighter had found love and was hiding away?
Hearn instinctively felt that Xiao Yu’s relationship with Leon was not ordinary, definitely more than just a one-time encounter.
He pleaded, “Sir, his whereabouts are too important to us. Just this period has involved billions in losses. If we can’t find him, I’ll be ruined!”
“That serious?” Xiao Yu was skeptical. “But what’s it got to do with me?”
Hearn knew he couldn’t ask for help empty-handed. He briefly introduced his abilities and status, sincerely saying, “Name your price, and I’ll treat your words as a decree.”
He looked like he was begging, and Xiao Yu didn’t believe him.
But thinking of the young, strong foreign athletes, the Omega felt delighted. Maybe there was one suitable for him.
He could hold him in his arms and soothe his glands every day.
“Then introduce me to a handsome foreign guy. If I hear anything about Leon, I’ll contact you.” Xiao Yu took the business card he had been holding up, his tone haughty. “I don’t settle for average.”
That’s no problem. Hearn had a list full of vigorous athletes.
Since learning Leon was alive, he almost collapsed with relief. Now that the Omega was willing to help, he wiped his sweat, his voice trembling with excitement:
“That’s nothing. I can introduce you to a whole soccer team!”
Leon had no idea his little fox fish was about to be introduced to someone else by his agent.
His fluffy round face pressed against the glass, finally seeing Xiao Yu return to pick him up. He instinctively wanted to run over, but that didn’t fit his attitude towards the opposite sex.
He wouldn’t allow himself to be so out of character.
So he walked with a cold and leisurely cat stride, his face fur completely flattened, sitting at a not-too-far, not-too-close distance.
Seeing the blue fatty deliberately enduring the orange pheromone to compete for Xiao Yu’s favor, Leon was so angry his teeth itched, his gaze dark.
Until Xiao Yu called his name, the fluffy big orange cat walked over with a high and mighty air.
“Moo?”
Ura, you’re back?
Due to overacting, his pace was extremely slow. Xiao Yu thought the kitten was too lazy to come over and didn’t mind, heading straight to check on the male model Alphas rehearsing in the nearby compartment.
Leon: “!? ”
“Meow ow ow!”
The cat got anxious, its whole body jiggling as it ran like a big loaf of bread, bumping into Xiao Yu’s leg and almost knocking him over, apologetically rubbing against him.
Circling the pillar three times like a Möbius strip, rubbing his fur to confirm his scent was on it, he finally felt at ease.
Leon’s task wasn’t over yet.
The big fat orange cat stood fiercely by Xiao Yu’s side, glaring at any man trying to cozy up, determined to protect his owner’s safety.
After a busy day, just entering the apartment, a parched Leon rushed to drink water.
Xiao Yu, on the other hand, carried his little gift bag, mysteriously entering the wardrobe and locking the door.
He took off his regular clothes, clumsily changing into the thin, provocative fabric.
“This is so hard to wear…”
The Omega softly muttered, looking down to adjust, unable to tell which end was which.
Once he was fully dressed, he looked up at his reflection in the mirror, his eyes pausing, his heart racing.
This…
This is too much.
The soft warm light around the full-length mirror cast an ambiguous glow on his current appearance.
Slim waist, long legs, porcelain-white skin.
The thin satin only covered a few areas, and it was very daring, with no privacy at all. The rest was all thin strings, leaving room for improvisation.
The fiery, enchanting fox tail tip swayed gently behind him.
It was easy to imagine Xiao Yu being held by the waist, trembling all over, the fox tail swaying just like that.
No, it would be a thousand times more intense than now.
The Omega was so embarrassed that even his fingertips turned a faint red.
Somehow…
Wearing this thing made him a bit restless.
Xiao Yu was never unaware of his beauty. He knew from a young age that he was very pretty, enough to make it in the entertainment industry, so he often used his looks to his advantage.
Thinking of the Alpha’s reaction, he inexplicably felt a bit of mischief, actually looking forward to it.
—Even though that person was still nowhere to be found.
The Omega fiddled with the leather leg ring that squeezed his thigh, paused, and took out another item from the bag.
That Russian is a boxer, so he must be in great shape, right?
Is it really that big?
Impossible!
This thing could kill someone!
Xiao Yu stared at the item with a mix of embarrassment and complexity, his gaze mocking and disdainful, full of the high-and-mighty attitude of a pampered young master, as if it were Leon’s thing.
Hearn had sent him many messages explaining that the Alpha wasn’t a bad person, that there must be a misunderstanding.
In Xiao Yu’s view, there was no misunderstanding.
Who knows, when he licked his neck, he might have been standing tall. That pervert, if he knew Russian, he’d definitely curse him out in eight different ways!
He was inexplicably curious about Leon’s behavior of being noble in public and a dog in private.
“Big as a beast.”
His full lips curled, making such an assessment.
The sound of the big fat cat scratching at the door startled Xiao Yu. Blushing, he hid the new toy at the bottom of the drawer.
This thing must not be seen by the kitty!
To Xiao Yu, orange was like his child. Parents being caught by their kids with their bedroom quirks would definitely be awkward and embarrassing, even if the cat didn’t understand anything.
After putting it away, he quickly took off the provocative clothes, stuffing them haphazardly into the wardrobe.
“Coming, baby, are you hungry?”
On the day of the “Mogao Cat” cat café boy band flash mob event, the place was packed.
The cats rubbed against people, rolled around, and meowed in a high-pitched voice, the business process like an assembly line, even having to serve in batches to avoid overworking them.
“Is having a bunch of Alphas strut around your marketing strategy?” A stranger Alpha, who seemed to have a close relationship with Xiao Yu, asked. “Xiao Yu, you’ve really made it.”
Little Fish Boss was dazzling today.
He responded with a cold smile, “As long as it works, why do you care what dish I’m serving?”
He pushed the man with one hand and patted Shi Xu and Lin Yue, his two friends, with the other, unceremoniously instructing, “Go, help me entertain the guests, you guys get to work too!”
Behind the small treehouse cat climbing frame, a large orange figure crouched ominously, its fur bristling.
The big fat orange cat’s gaze was cold enough to cut.
Leon finally knew who the owner of that pair of pants in Xiao Yu’s wardrobe was.
It was the Alpha he was all lovey-dovey and bickering with!
He would never mistake the lingering pheromone scent.
As a man, as an Alpha, Leon had to find a way to control his body’s state, which meant he needed to start with Xiao Yu.
The big loaf of bread racked his brains.
Busy until nightfall, the cat café was more lively than ever.
Xiao Yu had never felt so elated, so much so that he didn’t notice the sneaky big fat cat constantly licking his glands.
He had pre-ordered a hotel meal, inviting Xiao Qiong and his two childhood friends, along with the exhausted staff, to his apartment for dinner.
Having moved into the apartment for half a year, the little orange cat was the first “person” besides his brother to step into the Omega’s private domain.
Today, Xiao Yu finally decided to bring a few more people back to warm the place.
The five-star hotel had a dedicated delivery service, arriving in five minutes. Xiao Yu glanced at his exquisite and luxurious little gold watch, lazily leaning on the sofa.
“See, isn’t it just opening a shop? You’re not the only one with talent. When I start making a hundred thousand a day, don’t be jealous.”
The Alpha chuckled, for once not saying anything to educate him.
“Then please take care of me, Boss Xiao.”
His brother was an unexpected pregnancy for their mother, always competing with him since childhood, often crying that he was just extra, even starting a business to compete with him.
Xiao Qiong got up to pour drinks, and the big orange cat, who had been sitting like a guardian on the coffee table, suddenly got angry.
It pressed down on Xiao Qiong’s arm, threatening, “Meow ow!!”
Is this your house?
Walking around like you own the place.
Leon didn’t know about the brotherly relationship, feeling sour all day, like a lemon bomb.
Plus, he hadn’t caught much of Xiao Yu’s pheromone scent, making him restless.
Did this shameless Alpha really think being a bit closer to Xiao Yu made them family?
“Hey?” Xiao Qiong asked, “Why is this cat so fat? It’s even fatter than in the photos.”
“……”
Мудак!
(Idiot.)
The big fat orange cat’s back fur bristled, leaving coldly and hurriedly, as if making a decision.
Xiao Yu thought Xiao Qiong’s words had hurt the kitten, glaring at him. “Don’t say such things in front of the child, he can understand!”
The doorbell rang, and the Omega personally went to get the food.
“Everyone stay put, no one is allowed to leave!”
Just as he returned, he saw the little truck-like cat carrying a provocative thong it had found somewhere, meowing as it ran out, coolly passing the dumbfounded crowd.
It even gave Xiao Qiong a show-off glance.
Xiao Qiong: “……”
Childhood friend: “……”
Staff: “……?”
Xiao Yu was stunned, Xiao Yu shrieked sharply!
