A Fatal Attraction from Lawyer A - Chapter 46

The pheromones of the two Alphas merged in the air, showing not the slightest rejection, but rather an extraordinary harmony.

The hand hooked around the collar felt like it was on fire, the fingertip brushing faintly against his Adam’s apple.

He met Gu Yuxi’s smiling eyes, feeling as though he had fallen into a gentle whirlpool, perfectly willing to drown in it.

Just as he was about to lean in closer, Gu Yuxi released him. The instant the warmth left, a sense of loss settled over his heart.

“The doctor said no, remember?” Gu Yuxi gently touched the puppy ears that made his heart itch. Catching Luo Panzhi’s regretful expression, the smile in his eyes deepened: “So, can you put on the apron for me now?”

Dare to provoke him?

Then he dared to provoke back.

He couldn’t be the only one who couldn’t handle the temptation.

They must share the blessings and face the difficulties together.

Luo Panzhi pressed his lips together, seemingly reluctant to let go of the recent sensation. He looked at Gu Yuxi with longing eyes, silently struggling with himself.

Although the most painful part of his heat cycle was over, he was the Alpha who had left a mark on Gu Yuxi. How could he not react to his own mate? But then he recalled the doctor’s warning: he had injured Gu Yuxi’s anal cavity, and they absolutely could not engage in sexual activity during this time. Protecting Gu Yuxi was paramount.

“Then I’ll go put it on?” Luo Panzhi asked again, as if seeking confirmation that he truly wanted the show to continue.

Gu Yuxi chuckled: “Didn’t you promise to wear it for me? Are you breaking your word? If so, you can leave now, and we’ll resume our cold war.”

“I’ll wear it.” I was the one doing the flirting, Luo Panzhi thought. How did I end up being the one who couldn’t resist the temptation? He turned to grab the black apron hanging on the wall.

The moment he turned, he felt a hand hook into his back pocket. His body instantly froze. He slowly turned his head, looking down.

He saw Gu Yuxi’s hand tucked into his back pocket, smiling innocently: “Do you need me to help you take off your vest?”

Luo Panzhi gasped: “!” It’s coming, it’s coming. My wife is about to counterattack me. “…No need. I can take it off myself.”

“You helped me put on my shirt earlier, so I should return the favor,” Gu Yuxi tugged at the corner of Luo Panzhi’s vest, then released his grip. The elastic vest snapped back against his back.

Luo Panzhi’s body shivered from the recoil of the vest. He pressed down on Gu Yuxi’s mischievous hand: “Baby, I really will do it myself. Don’t provoke me.”

“I’m not provoking you,” Gu Yuxi replied with an innocent expression.

Luo Panzhi ripped the vest off his chest with one swift motion and quickly grabbed the nearby black apron and tied it around himself, determined not to give Gu Yuxi any further chance to tease him.

However, as he tied the apron behind his waist, Gu Yuxi’s hands pinned his own.

“I’ll help you.”

Luo Panzhi couldn’t see Gu Yuxi’s expression at that moment, but he could feel the hand helping him tie the apron playing games. With no vest to obstruct the touch, the fingertips brushed lightly and repeatedly against his bare skin.

“Young CEO Luo, do you go boxing regularly?” Gu Yuxi looked at the nearby back. Set against the black apron, the smooth, muscular definition hinted at a powerful physique ready to burst through any restraint, radiating primal pheromones: “Your muscles look like they just beg for a bite.”

Luo Panzhi’s Adam’s apple bobbed: “Are you hungry? How about I make you something to eat? You skipped breakfast.” He desperately tried to divert Gu Yuxi’s attention. If he didn’t change the subject soon, he felt the situation would become disastrous.

He had truly brought this suffering upon himself; the fire he ignited now couldn’t be extinguished.

“Didn’t you ask me if I wanted to dine first or use you first? I want to use you first,” Gu Yuxi turned sideways and tilted his head to look at Luo Panzhi: “May I, my adorable Husband?”

Aaaah!

He didn’t want to be hooked like this, but Gu Yuxi called him “Husband”!

Luo Panzhi saw Gu Yuxi tilt his head toward him. If this wasn’t his wife acting cute, what was it? If this wasn’t the best time to salvage their relationship, what was it? His thin lips trembled slightly: “…The doctor said it’s not quite possible yet.”

“Ah.” Gu Yuxi saw that the other man was struggling but holding firm, so he took the hint and backed off. He straightened up and smiled: “Alright, well, since that’s the case, can you help me massage my waist later? My back is a bit sore.”

This was genuine.

Probably due to the forced marking, he had felt uncomfortable in his lower abdomen and waist since yesterday. Standing for even a short while made his waist ache.

Luo Panzhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief: “Of course, that I can do.”

“Can you wear the puppy ears and apron? I think it sets the mood better.”

Luo Panzhi: “…Customer, your requests are getting a bit kinky.”

Gu Yuxi flicked the puppy ears on Luo Panzhi’s head with his hand, the corner of his mouth curving: “You are the kinky one, little puppy.”

Playtime aside, they still needed to eat. Luo Panzhi started bustling in the kitchen. This time, he didn’t allow Gu Yuxi in, making him wait obediently outside the bar.

Gu Yuxi sat by the counter, propping his head up and watching Luo Panzhi busy himself in the kitchen.

Black apron, Doberman puppy ears, holding a spatula, skillfully tossing food in the pan. Perhaps the kitchen was hot, as he could see beads of sweat glistening on his back, tracing the lines of his muscles.

It was absolutely sexy.

“Baby, I’m leaving tonight after you fall asleep, just letting you know,” Luo Panzhi poured the cooked shrimp into a clay pot.

Gu Yuxi was surprised: “Why?”

Luo Panzhi put down the wok, covered the pot, turned around, and looked at him, smiling mischievously: “What, you’ll miss me? I have to go back and get your liquor. Do you want the liquor or do you want me?”

“I want the liquor.”

Luo Panzhi: “…” He silently turned back to his role as the cook: “That hurts.”

Gu Yuxi smiled without comment.

But deep in his heart, of course, he wanted Luo Panzhi.

After serving Gu Yuxi several light, refreshing dishes, Luo Panzhi began the next service.

In the bedroom at this moment—

“It really hurts here.”

Luo Panzhi didn’t dare use too much force. He massaged Gu Yuxi’s aching waist, looking at the bruising caused by his rough actions, his eyes filled with guilt: “You shouldn’t have intervened. You should have just let me suffer alone.”

“I’m not like certain people who hide and cry by themselves when something happens,” Gu Yuxi rested his head on his arm. The massage was slightly sore, and he frowned, speaking in a muffled voice.

He wondered when his anal cavity would fully recover. If it hurt with exertion, he really wouldn’t be able to go for his morning run and workout during this time.

Luo Panzhi knew his meaning. His original intention was not to hurt Gu Yuxi, as there must be a degree of repulsion between Alpha and Alpha. He just hadn’t expected Gu Yuxi’s solution would be a forced marking.

Just hearing the words hurt.

And even knowing it hurt, he had still lost control somewhat.

Fortunately, now that the forced mark existed between them, his heat cycle wouldn’t cause such incidents again.

Luo Panzhi lowered his head and kissed the bruised area tenderly: “I’m sorry, Baby.”

“Massage seriously,” Gu Yuxi said, resting his head on his arm. He felt Luo Panzhi’s hesitant pressure and knew the man felt guilty. But he had said what he needed to say. His Alpha was so smart, he should understand his meaning.

They were both Alphas. While loving each other, they should also place each other on an equal footing.

Shouldering everything alone isn’t an act of nobility; it hurts your partner.

He didn’t want Luo Panzhi to be like that, because he also wanted to protect Luo Panzhi.

“If it hurts, don’t go running tomorrow morning, hear me?” Luo Panzhi massaged while scrutinizing his mate’s physique. It seemed Gu Yuxi’s health hadn’t been great since they got together, and he looked a bit thinner: “If you really want to work out, I’ll take you boxing after work in the evening.”

At least he could keep an eye on him and feel at ease.

“Isn’t boxing more strenuous than running?” Gu Yuxi turned his head and looked at him, puzzled.

“But at least I’ll be right beside you. I’ll feel better if I can watch you,” Luo Panzhi saw his look and knew that without a reminder, he would definitely go running tomorrow. He gently patted Gu Yuxi’s firm posterior: “Did you hear me?”

Gu Yuxi rested his head back on his arm: “Got it.”

Perhaps the massage was soothing, as Gu Yuxi started to feel drowsy. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and he didn’t know when he drifted off to sleep.

Luo Panzhi realized Gu Yuxi was fast asleep.

“Slept so fast,” Luo Panzhi smiled indulgently. He put Gu Yuxi’s shirt back on, turned him over, covered him with the blanket, and finally lowered his head to place a kiss on Gu Yuxi’s forehead: “Sleep well, Baby. You suffered last night.”

A moment later, Luo Panzhi heard his phone ring in the living room. Frowning slightly, he carefully got out of bed, quickly left the room, and closed the door to avoid waking Gu Yuxi.

In front of the French windows, Young CEO Luo, who hadn’t had time to take off his black apron and Doberman puppy ears, was answering the phone. Gone was the gentle demeanor he used with his wife; his expression was grim and severe.

“Song Yinling is pregnant?”

Xu Wen on the other end replied: “Yes, Young CEO Luo. News came from the prison this morning that Song Yinling suddenly fainted and was found to be pregnant after being sent to the hospital. However, this could be good news. If Song Yinling is truly pregnant, we can test to find out who the biological father is. If it’s really Mo Wenbin, then the fact that Mo Wenbin is still alive will be undeniable.”

Luo Panzhi’s cold eyes furrowed, like an impenetrable gloom. He asked in a deep voice: “Which hospital is Song Yinling in?”

“People’s Hospital. Also, Young CEO Luo, Song Yinling’s family wants to bail her out. This could be somewhat detrimental to Lawyer Gu’s case. What should we do?”

“Bail out?” Luo Panzhi sneered: “It’s nothing more than applying for release on bail pending trial. She won’t escape. Does the police side have any leads on Mo Wenbin?”

“Not yet.”

Luo Panzhi let out a low ‘Mhm’: “Good, I understand.”

“Then, Young CEO Luo, are you still taking time off tomorrow morning?”

Luo Panzhi walked toward the walk-in closet, preparing to change clothes and head to the apartment across the hall. After all, starting today, he was the handsome tenant: “No, I’m going back with Lawyer Gu.”

“With him?” Xu Wen caught the word, sensing something.

Luo Panzhi replied casually: “Ah, did I mention that Lawyer Gu and I are dating?”

Xu Wen: “???” When did you say that? “No, you didn’t. Weren’t you in a one-sided crush?”

Luo Panzhi stood in front of the full-length mirror in the closet. He took off the Doberman puppy ears he had just played with and unfastened the apron with his back hand: “You were the one in a one-sided crush. I’ll say it one more time: Lawyer Gu and I are dating. We are deeply in love and inseparable.”

Xu Wen: “!!!!” This is unbelievable! But aren’t Young CEO Luo and Lawyer Gu both Alphas?!!!

Luo Panzhi added one last sentence: “The kind that’s going to get married. Gotta go now.”

Xu Wen: “…”

Someone actually managed to conquer his short-tempered Young CEO Luo, and it was Lawyer Gu.

Heaven truly has eyes.
