Xu Juexi had just come out of the bath, his body still damp and flushed with moisture.
When he opened the door and saw Gu Zhifeng, he was obviously startled. He turned around and glanced in the direction of Gu Xiaolin inside the room. After confirming that the people inside the room could not see from this angle, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to close the door.
Gu Zhifeng didn’t let him pass, and instead wedged himself into the crack in the door.
“Don’t be in such a hurry to close the door, sister-in-law.”
Xu Juexi was not as strong as him to begin with, and he couldn’t close the door no matter what he did.
“What are you doing?”
Xu Juexi was genuinely worried about being discovered by the main character.
He didn’t dare make too much noise at this moment, afraid that Gu Xiaolin would notice something was wrong. He could only lower his voice and speak to Gu Zhifeng, praying in his heart that the other party wouldn’t act crazy under these circumstances.
“Of course I came to see what my dear sister-in-law is doing.”
Gu Zhifeng’s voice was filled with suppressed anger, which puzzled Xu Juexi.
“Don’t stand here…”
Xu Juexi couldn’t figure out his thoughts, nor did he know why the other party had suddenly appeared here, just when he was left behind by Gu Xiaolin.
He didn’t know whether Gu Zhifeng was looking for him or Gu Xiaolin, so he nervously glanced back and said, “Hurry up…”
“Why can’t I be here?”
Discovering that Xu Juexi only wanted to get rid of him, Gu Zhifeng laughed in exasperation: “Me, leave? Leave so you can be all lovey-dovey with your good husband? I never thought, sister-in-law, that you could actually end up in bed with someone like my brother. You must have gone to a lot of trouble to seduce him, right?”
Gu Zhifeng lowered his head, squinted, and looked at Xu Juexi’s joints, which were red from the hot water, and his beautiful skin that was faintly visible under his light-colored pajamas.
His handsome appearance made his mouth water, yet he was also seething with hatred.
He couldn’t resist reaching out and pinching a sensitive spot on Xu Juexi’s waist, almost making Xu Juexi scream out: “And you’re dressed so provocatively.”
Xu Juexi slapped his hand away and angrily rebuked him, “What…what are you doing? You can’t do this!”
“I can’t?”
Gu Zhifeng asked, “If I can’t, can my brother? Sister-in-law, did my brother make you feel good? Did he make you feel better or did I make you feel better…? How many people have you slept with? Where am I in the list?”
“I didn’t…Are you sick in the head?”
Gu Zhifeng’s mind was filled with those things, which made Xu Juexi a little angry.
He reached out again, trying to push the person away: “What business is it of yours what I do with him? Why do you have the right to interfere?”
“Why can’t I take care of you? We…”
Gu Zhifeng suddenly stopped talking, realizing that he didn’t seem to have a suitable identity or a respectable reason to restrict Xu Juexi’s behavior.
These kinds of things don’t follow a first-come, first-served rule. Besides, in the beginning, Xu Juexi’s intimacy with him was all done under his coercion, and it was never legitimate.
He lowered his eyes and met Xu Juexi’s angry gaze, suddenly feeling powerless. His grip on the doorknob loosened slightly, but he was still unwilling to leave like this.
He took a deep breath, unable to imagine what might happen inside after the door was closed, and remained standing at the door: “I’m not leaving. You can’t stay here, I won’t allow it.”
“What’s not allowed?”
Gu Xiaolin appeared behind Xu Juexi without anyone noticing. He looked at Xu Juexi, then at his youngest brother, Gu Zhifeng.
Gu Zhifeng looked up and met his brother’s gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips: “Good evening, big brother.”
Gu Xiaolin frowned slightly, sensing the provocation in his tone, and felt puzzled: “What are you doing here? Is there something you need?”
“It’s nothing.”
Gu Zhifeng said, “I just came to say hello. I heard you won that project in H City? Congratulations!”
“You still care about company matters?” Gu Xiaolin asked scrutinizingly.
Gu Zhifeng chuckled, his gaze shifting downwards, and the topic returned to Xu Juexi: “Big brother and sister-in-law have been getting along quite well lately. I thought you were just putting on an act.”
Gu Xiaolin recalled the first time he met Xu Juexi, when his good-for-nothing younger brother forced Xu Juexi into this situation.
His aura instantly turned cold, and he pulled Xu Juexi into his arms: “You’d better put away those impure thoughts of yours as soon as possible.”
Gu Xiaolin closed the door.
With the light in the room blocked out, Gu Zhifeng closed his eyes and punched the wall next to him.
That shouldn’t be the case.
The older brother initially ignored the omega, so their relationship was unlikely to last long.
And one day he will make this omega his own.
But everything is different now.
He couldn’t understand what magic Xu Juexi possessed that could make Gu Xiaolin change his mind, or what charm he had that made him so attached to him.
But……
“I thought you would pounce on him and snatch him back.”
Gu Fengying had been standing and watching from a distance for an unknown amount of time. Finally, he strolled leisurely over to Gu Zhifeng’s side and mocked, “I thought you were so great, but it seems you’re not all that impressive after all.”
“Not so great? What right do you have to say that to me?”
Faced with Gu Fengying’s sarcasm, Gu Zhifeng sneered and curled the corners of his mouth: “You urged me to come up here just so you could see what’s going on with Xu Juexi, right? You didn’t even dare to come by yourself, you coward.”
“I’m not like you.” Gu Fengying smiled. “I’m not as naive as you, I don’t care who he sleeps with.”
He glanced at Gu Zhifeng: “I only want him to choose me as his first choice. And I have already done that.”
Inside the room.
After this incident, Gu Xiaolin finally remembered that Gu Zhifeng had been eyeing his wife covetously from the very beginning.
His wife was innocent and kind, like the most vulnerable white rabbit; how could he bear being eyed by such a beast?
He wanted to protect his wife.
Gu Xiaolin held his wife’s slender hand in his and asked, “Did the third brother bully you?”
Gu Xiaolin looked at Xu Juexi with concern.
That look in his eyes was as if he could clear everything away for Xu Juexi if he was willing to reveal everything, and he would never be troubled by anything again.
So, should I say something?
Xu Juexi recalled that dream where he was shattered to pieces.
He closed his eyes.
By the way, the person in front of him is the protagonist, while he’s the villainous cannon fodder. How much sincerity can there be in his words when he says such things to himself?
Perhaps he just wanted him to admit to the infidelity himself and provide evidence of it so that he can be rightfully punished.
Moreover, even if he confessed to Gu Zhifeng’s affairs and shifted all the blame onto Gu Zhifeng, what about Gu Fengying? How would he explain that?
Did Gu Fengying force him?
No.
Therefore, Xu Juexi knew that he was no longer a perfect victim, or perhaps he never was from the beginning.
Finally, Xu Juexi opened his eyes and shook his head.
“No, honey.”
He nestled his soft body into Gu Xiaolin’s arms, silencing the question the other hadn’t yet asked and changing the subject:
“I’m not feeling well, honey, can you take a look at me?”
Gu Xiaolin actually realized that Xu Juexi was changing the subject. But the omega in his arms seemed to have an innate ability to make people unable to refuse him.
Even though he still cared about their relationship, he was still being led by the nose by Xu Juexi: “Where do you feel unwell?”
Xu Juexi opened his mouth to Gu Xiaolin.
“It’s so uncomfortable here…”
He stuck out his tongue and said in a sticky, mushy voice, “Honey, can you help me take a look?”
Gu Xiaolin lowered his eyes, looking at his wife’s fair, flushed face, moist lips and tongue, and his breathing quickened uncontrollably.
“……good.”
Faced with his wife’s blatant seduction, he wrapped his arms around his waist, leaned down, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and replied:
“Let me take a look, wife.”
