In fact, the inhibitor had suppressed most of Xu Juexi’s heat during his heat cycle, so Xu Juexi didn’t feel too uncomfortable.
Making such a move to seduce the other party was entirely a spur-of-the-moment decision.
He just wanted to distract Gu Xiaolin, nothing more.
But when Gu Xiaolin’s hand was on his waist, Xu Juexi finally realized belatedly that things might not be as simple as he had imagined.
For a strong alpha, an omega is small and light, let alone an inferior omega like Xu Juexi.
Gu Xiaolin grabbed Xu Juexi’s waist and lifted him up without much effort, then threw him onto the bed behind him.
The alpha hovered over Xu Juexi, like a huge shadow enveloping him. Xu Juexi shrank back fearfully, wanting to run away, but Gu Xiaolin held him down.
Gu Xiaolin lowered his head and kissed Xu Juexi’s lips. He seemed unaware of how to kiss his omega, and without any method, he nibbled on the omega’s lips based on instinct, making Xu Juexi feel as if he wanted to devour his flesh and blood.
After a long period of adjustment, their kiss finally felt like a proper kiss.
Xu Juexi’s tongue was wrapped around his, and he trembled with each movement of the alpha.
He smelled a rather chilling scent emanating from the alpha, so strong it almost made his pupils dilate. Involuntarily, he grabbed Gu Xiaolin’s collar, his agitation, which had been barely suppressed by the inhibitor, showing signs of surging up again.
No…no, that’s going too far.
Xu Juexi could sense that the person in front of him truly intended to tear him apart and devour him, leaving not even a scrap of flesh behind.
But he wasn’t mentally prepared.
Coupled with his physical fear of the person in front of him, Xu Juexi felt a strong sense of resistance.
He turned his head to avoid the alpha’s kiss again, pressed his hand against the alpha’s lips, shook his head with tears in his eyes, and said in a pleading tone, “No…husband, no…”
Gu Xiaolin’s breathing was heavy, but he was still pushed away slightly by his movements. He frowned and asked, “…What do you mean no?”
He asked Xu Juexi, “Didn’t you say you felt unwell? Your husband is helping you.”
Xu Juexi shook his head frantically, saying, “No…don’t…”
His resistance was so obvious that Gu Xiaolin felt a little uncomfortable seeing it, but he still let go of the omega’s hand and stood up slightly.
Is his wife afraid of him? Gu Xiaolin frowned: “Why?”
Xu Juexi’s mind was in a complete mess, and he couldn’t give the other person a reasonable explanation for a while. After stammering for a long time, he said, “We…we’re not…married yet, husband.”
Gu Xiaolin paused for a moment.
right.
He and his wife are not married yet; their relationship is based on an unequal and dishonorable contract, and they will not even stand openly in front of others to receive blessings.
He failed to provide his wife—his fiancée—with enough security.
He regretted his indifferent attitude when he made the omega sign the contract, and was somewhat annoyed by the clauses he had added to the paper when he didn’t understand Xu Juexi.
He took Xu Juexi’s hand in his and kissed it. He said, “Okay… I’m sorry, I was too hasty, my wife.”
”I just didn’t want to make you uncomfortable,” Gu Xiaolin said.
He picked Xu Juexi up and apologized to him again:
”Wife, I’m sorry.”
He pushed open the door and carried the trembling omega in his arms back to his own room. He carefully placed the omega on the bed: “Go to sleep, I’ll stay with you. Call me if you feel unwell.”
Xu Juexi was dazed as he was placed back on his bed, sinking into the overly soft blankets, somewhat at a loss. He hadn’t expected the protagonist to be so easygoing and actually let him off the hook.
He clutched the blanket tightly, trembling, and said, “Thank you… thank you, husband.”
The alpha leaned down and kissed him on the head again: “Sleep well, my wife.”
Xu Juexi was initially quite hesitant to sleep.
The intimidating presence of the protagonist sitting next to him was no different from holding a bomb that could explode at any moment; how could he possibly fall asleep?
But Gu Xiaolin kept his hand on Xu Juexi’s hand, gently stroking his palm, as if soothing Xu Juexi to sleep.
The slow and gentle pressure gradually made Xu Juexi feel sleepy.
Slowly, after an unknown amount of time, Xu Juexi gently closed his eyes.
Xu Juexi usually likes to stay up late, but his sleep quality is actually quite good. Except for the nightmare he had when he first came into this world, he can usually sleep through the night.
But today, perhaps because the protagonist of the nightmare was right beside him, the nightmare actually appeared in Xu Juexi’s dream again.
When Xu Juexi woke up from his dream, he found himself covered in a cold sweat.
He was just about to get out of bed to drink some water when he felt someone hug him from behind.
Xu Juexi was taken aback, somewhat surprised.
The main character is still here.
He recalled his dream and felt a little guilty. He clenched his hands and subconsciously called out, “Husband.”
It was still dark when the man glanced out the window and asked, “It’s still early, aren’t you going to sleep?”
Xu Juexi turned around and hugged him back: “Husband, sleep with me.”
The lights were dim, and Xu Juexi didn’t realize that the “husband” he was talking about had already been replaced. Without any suspicion, he nestled in the man’s arms and closed his eyes again.
That night, Gu Zhifeng seemed to be going crazy, squatting at the stairwell observing the movements of Xu Juexi and his brother’s room. Unexpectedly, he saw his brother coming out carrying Xu Juexi, both of them looking very calm, as if nothing had happened.
Gu Zhifeng breathed a sigh of relief. If he remembered correctly, the housekeeper had mentioned that his brother was extremely busy, and there were still a lot of things waiting for him to handle in H City. Judging from the time, these two days should be the most he could get away from, and he probably wouldn’t be able to stay at the old house for long.
Just as he expected, probably in a hurry to catch his flight, Gu Xiaolin put Xu Juexi to sleep and left in a hurry.
After confirming that his brother had gone downstairs and left, Gu Zhifeng pounced on his sister-in-law’s room like a hungry wolf.
Xu Juexi slept peacefully, but seemed restless. Gu Zhifeng sat at the head of his bed and held his sister-in-law’s soft hand.
”It’s so beautiful,” he thought.
Xu Juexi seemed to regard him as his brother, snuggling in his arms and calling him “husband”.
Gu Zhifeng originally wanted to remind him that he had mistaken someone for someone else, but for some reason, he ended up mimicking Gu Xiaolin’s tone and agreeing with Xu Juexi, coaxing him to fall asleep next to him again.
This was the first time he had spent so quietly with Xu Juexi, feeling his completely relaxed body pressed against his chest, and his feelings were somewhat complicated.
At this moment, for the first time in his life, he felt a sense of regret.
Why did he hate himself and why did he leave such a bad first impression on Xu Juexi?
He looked down on people like Gu Fengying who were pretentious, but at this moment he couldn’t help but think that if he had acted like him from the beginning, pretending to be the gentle person Xu Juexi liked, would his position in Xu Juexi’s heart be different now?
Or perhaps if he hadn’t been so hostile at the beginning, and had been more democratic when interacting with Xu Juexi, would Xu Juexi have treated him better?
He thought about many things, but in the end, he just put those thoughts out of his mind.
There’s no going back in life, and he knew that even if he pretended, he couldn’t keep it up for long. His inherent flaws would eventually be exposed, and it was only a matter of time before things went wrong.
He comforted himself, at least for now, Xu Juexi could still lie obediently in his arms.
He closed his eyes and gently pressed his lips to Xu Juexi’s forehead.
He didn’t call him “sister-in-law” again, but lowered his voice, as if that way he wouldn’t be noticed, and softly called out, “Wife.”
As dawn broke, Xu Juexi woke up to find his face being pinched.
”Sister-in-law, still sleeping? The sun’s already high in the sky.”
Xu Juexi didn’t even need to open his eyes; he could tell it was Gu Zhifeng from that smug tone.
He never expected the other party to be so audacious. Gu Xiaolin had been holding him while he slept last night, and this morning, as soon as he left, the other party sneaked into his room.
He pulled his head back under the covers, not wanting to pay attention to the other person.
”Don’t sleep.” Gu Zhifeng pulled off his blanket, leaving Xu Juexi nowhere to hide.
The curtains had been drawn open long ago, and this time the sunlight shone directly onto Xu Juexi’s face, so bright it was blinding. Xu Juexi squinted and yelled at him, “Are you sick?”
Gu Zhifeng grabbed Xu Juexi from the bed and haphazardly helped him put on his coat. Perhaps he was still too traumatized last night, or something else was wrong with him: “Come with me to work.”
Xu Juexi was still wearing his pajamas when he threw them on him in a messy way, which made his head spin: “If you want to go to work, go by yourself. What does it have to do with me?”
”Of course it’s related,” Gu Zhifeng said with a smile. “Isn’t it interesting to accompany your lover to work while your husband is away?”
Seeing that Xu Juexi was about to get angry again, Gu Zhifeng paused and said, “Alright, don’t think so badly of me. This time it’s really important. Sister-in-law, do you remember what happened in Hong Kong last time? I’ve signed your contract with my studio.”
Xu Juexi has been either sleeping or being bothered by these people for the past two days, and he almost forgot all about these things.
When Gu Zhifeng brought it up again, Xu Juexi thought for a moment and went through the whole story from beginning to end: “…So?”
”So I’m your boss now.” Gu Zhifeng nudged him: “Hurry up and get dressed, come to work with me.”
Xu Juexi hates going to work.
But this was, after all, the original owner’s business, so he had to grit his teeth and do it. He shook his head to clear his mind and said to Gu Zhifeng, “Okay, okay, you go out, I need to change my clothes.”
”What haven’t I seen?” Gu Zhifeng grinned. “What can’t I see? Let me see it, sister-in-law.”
Xu Juexi was helpless against his shameless and scoundrel-like behavior.
After all, you can’t reason with thugs, so Xu Juexi decided to make his move instead of waiting for the enemy to move. He turned around and walked towards the bathroom in the room, slamming the door shut behind him.
When he opened the door after changing his clothes and washing up, he was immediately embraced by Gu Zhifeng at the door.
Gu Zhifeng lowered his head and sniffed his neck for a while: “Sister-in-law, you smell so good.”
Xu Juexi: “Why do I feel like you’re acting particularly crazy today?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Gu Zhifeng admitted shamelessly, “It might be rabies.”
He then reached out and tried to pry open Xu Juexi’s jaw, licking his canine teeth: “Maybe if my sister-in-law lets me bite him, it will cure me.”
