After Wife B Is Obsessively Pampered by the Dominant Alpha A - Chapter 18

Situ Jing glanced at the creative boutique. Inside, a parent wearing an apron was making an insect pottery sculpture with a child; a snail was beginning to take shape.

“You’re not going to make me play with clay, are you?”

Bai Yu opened the PDF and pointed to the content, “The doctor suggested you try any activity that offers a sense of experience and can bring physical and mental pleasure.”

Situ Jing impatiently strode his long legs and walked toward the creative boutique.

When Situ Jing walked out of the boutique, he held a transparent glass box containing a seven-spotted ladybug pottery sculpture with a rather (silly/dumb) look in its eyes.

Bai Yu held a perfectly crafted golden scarab, praising, “You’re really amazing; you even did such a good job making pottery.”

“So? Your purpose in exchanging with me was to leave this stupid, ugly ladybug for me while you take home the perfect finished product personally made by your gold master?”

Situ Jing looked at the ladybug with distaste, then looked at Bai Yu. Like owner, like object.

“What’s the point of admiring it alone? Exchanging is great. My seven-spotted ladybug was also made with care and seriousness. You can’t compare them based on beauty or ugliness.”

“This is a waste of time. In the same twenty minutes, I could handle a fifty-million business deal. Asking someone to buy a pottery sculpture would look better than this.”

Bai Yu kept up with Situ Jing’s slightly quickened pace, arguing, “A child folds a thousand paper cranes for a sick friend, a mother hand-knits a sweater for her child, an Omega in love bakes cookies for the person they like. The value of the item isn’t important; what’s important is the time and emotion you inject into it. This proves they care about the other person. Doing these things makes people happy. Can you feel it?”

Situ Jing stopped and looked at Bai Yu, “Do you care about me?”

“Ah? Uh… of course.”

“Why?”

Because my job is to make you happy, cure your illness as soon as possible, and return to my plain and busy life.

Bai Yu definitely wouldn’t say such a “perfunctory” thing again, ruining this good atmosphere.

“Because you are good to me.”

Situ Jing’s highly aggressive face didn’t show much emotion; he just gave a slight chuckle, “You must have cursed me to death on the way here. These words are not too perfunctory; your brain must have worked this time.”

Bai Yu: “…It wasn’t to the extent of ‘cursing you to death.'”

The Insect Museum covers a total area of five thousand square meters. The two walked out of the exhibition hall, facing a large lake. There was still a long distance to the main gate.

The lake surface shimmered. The grass on the shore was wide. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, making the green grass sway left and right, raising delicate green waves.

“The wind is so strong.”

Bai Yu spread his arms and rushed down the small slope, running and spinning freely against the wind. His hair was ruffled, and the hem of his clothes lifted, revealing a slender, thin waist.

He smiled and invited Situ Jing, “You try it too, it’s awesome!”

Situ Jing put one hand in his pocket and held the stupid ladybug with the other, watching Bai Yu spin like a lunatic in the wind. He didn’t join him.

He never did anything that didn’t fit his status.

Bai Yu awkwardly stopped and waited for Situ Jing to catch up.

“Can we sit here for a while before leaving?”

Situ Jing looked around. There were no benches along the way, only the wide lawn. “Why?”

“The scenery here is nice, and the museum closes in half an hour. We can sit until closing time before heading out.”

“The ticket here is only ten yuan. Anyone can come in. There must be people walking dogs, often pooping and peeing on the lawn. You want me to sit on a lawn like that?”

Bai Yu took out some tissue paper, placed it on the grass, and gestured for Situ Jing to come over, “I checked. No dog poop.”

Situ Jing couldn’t possibly go, just like he couldn’t possibly come to the Insect Museum with Bai Yu, couldn’t possibly listen to Bai Yu’s random talk about wings and hearts, couldn’t possibly make pottery, and couldn’t possibly accept Bai Yu’s seven-spotted ladybug.

The wind by the lake, mixed with the fresh scent of green grass, blew Bai Yu’s slightly yellow hair and also blew away the tissue paper. “Hey, hey?”

“…”

Situ Jing sat down beside Bai Yu. The setting sun plated his superior features with a layer of gold. His chest muscles made his shirt billow, and his long legs were slightly bent.

“It better not have ticks, fleas, or anything like that here.”

Bai Yu glanced at the surrounding grass, “It shouldn’t. Only ants.”

The two sat by the lake and quietly enjoyed the wind for a while.

Bai Yu thought to himself, at this moment, his time entirely belonged to Situ Jing. Conversely, didn’t Situ Jing’s time only belong to him as well?

On his birthday, admiring a beautiful sunset with a billionaire top Alpha was not an opportunity everyone had, even if this billionaire was only superficially impressive.

Not far away, two children were flying a kite. Their parents, citing the imminent closing time, ordered them to reel in the kite and head back.

Situ Jing broke the silence between them, “You care a lot about your sister.”

Wasn’t this question obvious?

“She’s my sister. Mom told me to take good care of her. After Bai Li’s surgery, my pressure has lessened a lot. Once Bai Li gets through the rejection phase and gets better, I can focus on my own things.”

Bai Yu plucked a foxtail grass nearby and played with it in his palm.

Situ Jing asked, “I heard your mother also died of cancer?”

When looking for Bai Yu, Secretary Zhou’s investigative files mentioned this.

“Yes, my parents were both in second marriages, a blended family. My stepfather had some money when he did business early on, but later went bankrupt, and we moved our entire family to Nangan City. My stepfather drove a taxi, and my mother worked at that chemical factory where the accident happened. She was exposed to carcinogens. She was already pregnant with my sister then.”

“It wasn’t until several years later that the factory’s issue exploded. My mother was already in the late stage of cancer. After a collective lawsuit, the factory gave us a compensation fee.”

Bai Yu tied a knot on the long spike of the foxtail grass, making it into a “Q.”

Situ Jing took out a cigarette but forgot the lighter was in the car. “Got a lighter?”

“No.”

Situ Jing handed the cigarette to Bai Yu for him to hold. “Did you witness her death?”

Bringing this up on someone’s birthday was really impolite. But Bai Yu was gradually getting used to Situ Jing being such a self-willed and unrestrained person.

“I did. She was very thin near the end, so thin that there was no flesh left on her arms. The daily treatments were very painful. Finally, she passed away on a bright, sunny morning. My sister and I prepared her body. She had bought critical illness insurance when she was alive, and with the factory compensation, we didn’t spend much money at the hospital. Only the cemetery plot cost eighty thousand yuan, which was very expensive.”

Situ Jing gazed at the distant scenery. “And your father?”

Bai Yu looked down, pulled out the tobacco shreds, and fiddled with them in his palm, saying gently, “Um, my original father was abusive and later disappeared. My stepfather… he also died in an accident after my mother passed away.”

What a shattered family background. Although Situ Jing didn’t have much sympathy, he was surprised that even though Bai Yu was born into such a family, he still grew up looking pure, innocent, and a bit (silly/simple-minded), without turning into a delinquent.

However, him being his current lover wasn’t exactly the straight path either.

Situ Jing asked, “Have you had a physical check-up?”

On the day he and Bai Yu signed the contract, they checked the three blood tests, but not other areas.

Bai Yu said, “My body is fine.”

“So certain?”

“After we moved to Nangan City, I went to work at my uncle’s seaside B&B, which was very close to my school, so I rarely went home. I wasn’t affected. It’s considered a blessing in disguise.”

Bai Yu’s voice grew softer and softer, observing Situ Jing’s expression.

Situ Jing had said he disliked people complaining or seeking pity, but today he seemed surprisingly patient, actually listening to him talk so much.

Fifteen minutes before closing time, a staff member came to remind them to hurry up and leave.

So, Bai Yu and Situ Jing left early.

When they got into the car, Bai Yu’s stomach rumbled. He hadn’t eaten enough at noon and was hungry now.

Situ Jing asked, “What do you want to eat?”

Bai Yu hesitated for a moment and didn’t speak.

Situ Jing started the engine and turned the steering wheel, “Don’t tell me you want noodles.”

“Mm.”

“…” Situ Jing glanced at Bai Yu, “Are you a noodle spirit in your past life?”

“I can’t eat cake.”

Situ Jing called Secretary Zhou and found a highly-rated restaurant whose specialties included Udon noodles, Tonkotsu ramen, and cold soba noodles.

Bai Yu ordered one liang (small portion) of each of the three types of noodles.

Situ Jing watched Bai Yu eat with great relish and appetite, his face beaming with happiness and joy, as if the bowl of noodles was truly delicious.

It made him sigh, how could someone be so easily satisfied?

“Oh no.” Bai Yu accidentally splashed oil on his clothes while slurping the noodles and tugged at his collar with his hand. “I’ll have to use dish soap to wash it when I get back.”

Right after speaking, Bai Yu looked up, meeting Situ Jing’s eyes. He licked his lips and smiled, “I’m afraid I’ll forget when I get back, so I’m reminding myself.”

Situ Jing didn’t pay attention to Bai Yu’s self-talk; he just suddenly realized that Bai Yu’s appearance was quite worth observing.

Especially when he smiled, it reminded one of the trees blooming with small white flowers on the coast of Sicily—brilliant, bright, refreshing, and pleasant.

“Don’t randomly smile at others in the future.”

Bai Yu froze, “Why?”

“You look silly when you smile.” Situ Jing picked up his teacup and drank water.

“Do I?” Bai Yu opened his phone’s selfie mode and smiled. “No.”

“You do.”

The phone on the side rang. Situ Jing glanced at the name on the screen and answered the call, “Speak.”

Seeing Situ Jing’s serious expression, as if something had happened, Bai Yu checked his selfie again and quietly continued eating his noodles.

After finishing the call, Situ Jing said, “I have an emergency meeting. I’m leaving first. Go back on your own after you finish eating.”

Bai Yu put down his chopsticks, “Leaving so soon? Aren’t you going to bite me?”

Situ Jing’s eyes held a complex, dark light, as if considering the possibility of staying for a while.

Since Situ Jing was thinking about it, Bai Yu suggested, “Perhaps in the car.”

Biting his neck wouldn’t take long, and letting Situ Jing release his pheromones would help his illness.

“Then let’s go quickly. Wipe your mouth.” Situ Jing went to pay first. Bai Yu wiped his mouth and took a mint from the counter.

The two left the restaurant and went to the underground parking lot. Bai Yu got into the back seat. Situ Jing followed, closed the car door, and made a call.

“I’m on the way back to the company. Traffic. Tell them to start when they arrive. Mm.”

Situ Jing hung up the phone, wrapped an arm around Bai Yu, locking him in his embrace. His canine teeth bit the back of Bai Yu’s neck, and the fir-tree scent pheromones leaked into the air.

Bai Yu grasped Situ Jing’s shirt, trembling slightly. Inside the car, there was only the sound of their breathing and their close heartbeats.

A moment later, Situ Jing withdrew his canine teeth and reached his hand inside the hem of Bai Yu’s shirt. Bai Yu grabbed his hand, “Wait, I only let you bite my neck, not take off my clothes.”

“Just biting your neck? Do you take me for a vegetarian? A pure high school boy?”

“Don’t you still have a meeting?”

“Coming here was your idea. Now you want me to leave?”

“I really… I really only intended to let you bite me once.”

Situ Jing’s thin lips slightly curled. He locked Bai Yu even tighter, the strength of his arm like a python constricting him. “Playing this game of playing hard to get with me?”

“No, I didn’t…”

“Then hurry up. I need to go to a meeting. Don’t waste my time.”

Does this lovemaking absolutely have to happen?

Situ Jing’s phone rang again. Bai Yu quietly rolled his eyes while he answered the call.

“Mm, yes, for the benefit of the company, before the prenuptial agreement is signed, it’s absolutely impossible to let him marry that ‘green tea’ just like that…”

Situ Jing looked down, pinching Bai Yu’s jaw with his left hand, his eyes revealing aggressiveness and lust. His left hand slid down Bai Yu’s neck to his collarbone, then grabbed his wrist and brought it to his own body, making Bai Yu help him undo his belt buckle.

“You can bring it up at the meeting. I believe everyone won’t support him, even if it’s not the focus of this meeting. …”

The pheromone concentration in the car was very high. Bai Yu’s face was flushed, and he felt slightly dizzy. He truly admired Situ Jing for being able to make a work call with such a calm and composed tone in this situation.

After finishing the call, Situ Jing silenced his phone and tossed it onto the seat, pulling up Bai Yu’s white work T-shirt. “You little tease (sāo huò).”

“You!” Bai Yu certainly wouldn’t curse him out loud, Big Mad Dog!

“What about me?”

“You are the owner of the little tease!”

The Maybach’s windows were covered with anti-shatter film, making it impossible to see anything from the outside and isolating the sound inside, only the entire car was swaying…

An hour and a half later, the Maybach drove out of the underground parking lot.

Situ Jing’s clothes were neatly tidied. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, allowing a glimpse of a thin layer of sweat, radiating a sated and comfortable feeling from the release of tension.

Bai Yu rummaged through his sling bag for an inhibitor patch. The contents were a bit messy, and he couldn’t find it immediately.

He took out all the items one by one and placed them on his lap: his rental apartment key, driver’s license, ID card, anti-fatigue eye drops, a neutral pen, loose coins, a mini flashlight, tissues, and even a disposable raincoat…

The rearview mirror reflected Situ Jing’s sharp features. He glanced at Bai Yu casually, “Are you going on a survival trip?”

“Ah? No, I carry this bag when I work part-time. Sometimes I need certain things, and the part-time locations vary in distance, so it’s inconvenient to go back to the rental apartment to get them.” Bai Yu took everything out and searched through it, but couldn’t find it.

“Looking for an inhibitor patch?”

“Mm, I remember the box I bought last time wasn’t finished. Where did I put it?”

Situ Jing took an inhibitor patch from the box on the center console. The Alpha inhibitor patch was stronger than the Omega one.

After putting it on, Bai Yu pointed to a subway station, “Just drop me off there.”

After getting out of the car, Bai Yu waved goodbye to Situ Jing, just like he did at the Xidun Manor, “Goodbye, Mr. Situ. Drive safely.”

Situ Jing stared at the golden scarab pottery sculpture in Bai Yu’s hand, “Take good care of it. Don’t let me find out you destroyed or threw it away.”

In fact, this was the first time Situ Jing had ever made pottery.

“I won’t.”

Bai Yu waited for Situ Jing’s car to drive away and then slowly walked down the subway steps. His legs felt a bit weak, and he couldn’t walk fast at all.

Was Situ Jing happy today? He seemed to be.

This was the most recent meeting where Bai Yu hadn’t caused Situ Jing displeasure, without a major argument or getting injured.
