Wen Yun’an did not think too much about it.
From the moment Huo Yuheng lay down beside him, he began to deduce like a little genius why he could not fall asleep, and then, like a genius, he reached a conclusion.
His compatibility with his Alpha was so high that he must need to be close to his Alpha to fall asleep.
Since there was now another reason to be close to his Alpha, the smart little rabbit wanted to go to bed early. However, his hands were sore from unpacking his rabbit boxes all day, and sleeping while hugging Huo Yuheng’s arm would only make his hands feel worse.
But Huo Yuheng did not look tired at all; he had been very energetic when touching his belly just now!
That was why he asked Huo Yuheng if he could hold him while he slept.
It was a perfectly logical and seamless answer!
While admiring his own cleverness, the little rabbit secretly and proudly twitched his short little tail.
Although Huo Yuheng had never said it, he deduced that Huo Yuheng loved hearing him call him “husband.” It felt like as long as he called Huo Yuheng “husband,” Huo Yuheng would agree to anything.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Huo Yuheng expectantly. Then, he remembered how dark the bedroom was and thought Huo Yuheng might not see his expression, so he shifted and leaned his head against Huo Yuheng’s chest, reaching out to poke at him. “Husband?”
Eh?
Why was Huo Yuheng’s heartbeat so fast?
Why was he not saying anything?
“Husband. Uh!” He wanted to continue acting spoiled, but the hand he was using to poke Huo Yuheng’s chest was suddenly gripped tightly by Huo Yuheng.
Huo Yuheng closed his eyes and spoke slowly, his voice low and raspy, “Behave.”
Wen Yun’an tugged at his gripped hand. “But your hand is hurting me!”
Huo Yuheng answered, “I know.” He had not even used much force, yet the boy could not take it. What a delicate little thing.
Although he thought of him as a delicate little thing, Huo Yuheng still let go of his hand.
Huo Yuheng’s indulgence made him even more certain that as long as he called out “husband,” Huo Yuheng would agree to anything. It seemed Huo Yuheng really did love that title.
“Husband, then hold.” Before he could finish his coquettish request, a broad, powerful hand was already resting on his lower back, pulling him tightly into an embrace that seemed filled with restraint.
“Mm, hold. Sleep now, baby.” Huo Yuheng’s voice came from above, and he even released a bit of pheromones to soothe the delicate omega.
There was a great sense of security in staying beside his Alpha. The need for affection was satisfied for the moment, so he closed his eyes obediently and fell into a comfortable sleep shortly after.
This left Huo Yuheng alone, holding the fragrant and soft boy in his arms while suppressing his impulses again and again.
Huo Yuheng managed a multinational conglomerate and was very busy with work, so he could only return home as early as possible within the limited time he had to accompany the boy.
It was just past 3:00 PM when Huo Yuheng handed over his less important work to Assistant Liu and headed to the private elevator to leave.
As soon as the car drove away from the headquarters building, the gossiping employees began to speculate.
At their headquarters, even those who left work early did not usually leave until 4:00 PM. Huo Yuheng, a workaholic, sometimes did not leave until late at night, but he had been leaving earlier than anyone else for the past two days.
“Is the boss not a henpecked husband for leaving early so often after getting married?”
“So what? Scumbag Alphas stay away! An Alpha should uphold Alpha morals. A henpecked Alpha is a good Alpha. Being henpecked is a virtue passed down by our ancestors. Anyway, I am shipping this!”
“Exactly, exactly! So what if he is henpecked? His wife is such a beautiful omega. If it were me, I would want to go home early to accompany a beautiful wife too. I am so envious of the boss. I want a fragrant, soft, and beautiful wife too. I want to be bossed around by my wife.”
Assistant Liu, who still had piles of work to process, walked past them listlessly. “Do you not have lives to live? Is your work finished? Do you have time to fantasize about someone else’s omega? Especially the one belonging to the boss.”
“It is Assistant Liu. We are finished and are just having afternoon tea before leaving.”
Assistant Liu. “Ever since the boss got married, the work handed to him had increased more and more. If this job were not so well-paying, he would have already run away.”
“Assistant Liu, tell us some gossip about the boss and his little omega wife.”
Assistant Liu felt his defenses breaking. “Do not ask. I have no obligation to answer.”
“Okay, okay.”
After several days of living in close proximity, Wen Yun’an’s fever symptoms finally stopped appearing, though he still could not retract his rabbit ears and tail.
Although his lifestyle had been slightly affected, it was not all bad for Wen Yun’an.
Because he loved his beautiful rabbit ears and tail, he took great care of them.
Every morning, after accompanying Huo Yuheng for breakfast and seeing him off, he would return to the mirror and groom them earnestly and tirelessly.
For instance, he first had to check if the fur on his tail was tangled, because Huo Yuheng would always accidentally pinch his little tail when he was at home.
He also had to check the fur on his rabbit ears, because when he lay in Huo Yuheng’s arms at night, Huo Yuheng’s lips would always accidentally kiss his ears.
Of course, he knew Huo Yuheng did not do it on purpose. Huo Yuheng had to work every day and still hug him to sleep. Huo Yuheng was already very good; he could not blame him.
So, he would use a small comb he had prepared to carefully groom his rabbit ears and tail, ensuring they remained clean and beautiful.
This was a major event for him!
After grooming himself as usual, Wen Yun’an decided to go for a walk outside.
He was strolling in the garden outside the mansion, where golden ginkgo leaves had fallen to the ground after drying out. He picked out a few beautiful, complete leaves to tuck into his small bag, then stepped on the broken, damaged leaves, which made a crunchy sound.
After Huo Yuheng returned yesterday afternoon, he had introduced him to the butler, Mr. Wang. These ginkgo leaves had been specifically ordered by Huo Yuheng for the butler to keep for him to pass the time.
The sound of an engine came from outside the mansion’s black iron gate, which opened inward, allowing a silver-black sports car to drive in slowly.
Huo Yuheng was back! He seemed a bit early today!
The car stopped, and Huo Yuheng stepped out.
Confirming that no secretaries or drivers were following Huo Yuheng, he began to run toward him, clutching the strap of his small bag while calling out, “Husband!”
His two rabbit ears were flapping wildly due to his running; he was truly busy.
Watching him run like this, Huo Yuheng frowned slightly. “Slow down.” The little rabbit had such short legs; he feared he would fall.
“Husband!” Gasping for breath, he threw himself into Huo Yuheng’s arms. He hugged Huo Yuheng’s firm, strong waist, nuzzled against him, and tilted his head up softly. “You are back.”
