Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 48

Xu Wanxing cursed inwardly, yet turning his head to look at Lu Yanbai, who was sleeping with his eyes closed beside him, he couldn’t help but be astonished by his handsome appearance.

He was genuinely good-looking!

Lu Yanbai possessed a striking and exquisite beauty, with eyes that subtly slanted upwards at the corners, lending him an intense, vivid quality. However, when he slept with his eyes closed, his features carried a hint of cool aloofness.

He resembled a sleeping beauty from a fairy tale, making one feel an irresistible urge to kiss the prince awake.

Xu Wanxing was dizzied by his charm, his eyes practically glued to Lu Yanbai’s face.

He even forgot the pain in the back of his neck.

Lu Yanbai’s eyelashes were so long, so long, like butterfly wings.

Ehh, does this butterfly look like it’s about to fly?

Looking closer, Lu Yanbai had opened his eyes.

Xu Wanxing hurriedly pulled back his gaze, his eyes uncomfortably scanning the surroundings, his voice tinged with awkwardness, “Hubby, you, you’re awake.”

Suddenly, Xu Wanxing felt a force at his waist pulling him towards Lu Yanbai.

Lu Yanbai pressed his face into Xu Wanxing’s neck, rubbing gently. His magnificent voice carried the lazy huskiness of just having woken up.

“Good morning, Wife. I’m so tired. Let’s keep sleeping.”

Xu Wanxing secretly peeked at the fuzzy head. These words shouldn’t be directed at me, he thought. Lu Yanbai’s comment really sounded like after something had happened.

What virtue or ability do I possess?

Never mind, just treat it as being bitten by a dog. A puppy is very clingy, so it’s normal for it to rub itself against him.

Xu Wanxing, with his thoroughly straight-male mindset, instantly dismissed that subtle feeling. Looking at the fuzzy head nestled at his neck, he reached out and stroked it a couple of times.

Soft and smooth; this hair texture was truly excellent.

Lu Yanbai nestled into his neck as if pouting affectionately, mumbling a few words.

By the time he was fully awake, it was already afternoon.

Xu Wanxing, his stomach rumbling with hunger, covered his belly. Lu Yanbai, without a shirt on but wearing an apron, was busy in the kitchen.

Watching from outside, Xu Wanxing couldn’t help but feel that this scene strongly resembled daily life after marriage.

But cooking while wearing nothing but an apron—wouldn’t he get oil splattered on him?

Before long, Lu Yanbai carried several visually and aromatically appealing dishes to the table.

Bell pepper and beef strips, salad, smoked salmon, with steak as the main course.

Xu Wanxing poked the steak with his fork, realizing that Lu Yanbai ate like this even at home.

Do rich people not eat rice?

Lu Yanbai seemed to pick up on Xu Wanxing’s question, smiling as he said, “Actually, I usually eat rice, but since you’re here today, I couldn’t resist showing off my cooking skills for you.”

Saying this, he sat down and used the serving chopsticks to give Xu Wanxing some food. “Try it and see if it suits your taste.”

Upon tasting it, Xu Wanxing nodded vigorously, giving Lu Yanbai a thumbs-up and saying, “It goes well with rice!”

It should be known that “goes well with rice” (xia fan) was the highest compliment for a home-cooked dish.

Lu Yanbai’s face was alight with unconcealable joy. While eating, he habitually reached out, wanting to touch the back of his neck.

He just felt that this heat period had come too fast and gone too fast.

He was no longer uncomfortable now.

But it had only been one day.

At his fastest, he could only compress an Omega’s heat period to three days with medication.

What exactly was going on? It seemed things started feeling wrong ever since he returned from that research institute.

He needed to investigate properly.

Lu Yanbai looked at Xu Wanxing and felt that the more he looked, the more lovable Xu Wanxing became.

In the past, he had thought Xu Wanxing was a weak little Alpha perfectly suited to him, but now he felt Xu Wanxing was a fragrant, soft, little Alpha cake, making him want to hug him and kiss him and lick him constantly.

Every single action of Xu Wanxing attracted him. Looking at Xu Wanxing gave him a sense of immense security, yet he clearly hadn’t been marked by Xu Wanxing. Instead, he had been the one indulging in marking Xu Wanxing’s scent gland all day yesterday.

That Xu Wanxing wasn’t bothered by this at all today greatly surprised him. Didn’t Alphas all cherish their scent glands immensely?

It seems Xu Wanxing really loves me.

Having reached this conclusion, Lu Yanbai’s eyes became even more tender when looking at Xu Wanxing, practically like a dragon gazing at its most precious treasure.

After eating, Xu Wanxing asked, “Hubby, are you still feeling uncomfortable?”

“Much better,” Lu Yanbai replied.

“Was it another heat period? It feels like this one and the last one were very close together.”

Lu Yanbai nodded. “I don’t know what’s going on either.”

Xu Wanxing said, “Let’s go get it checked out after the heat period is over. Hubby, I’ll be very worried about you like this.”

Xu Wanxing knew that Omegas found strong scents unbearable during their heat period and also strongly disliked going to public places.

Looking at the considerate Xu Wanxing, Lu Yanbai’s eyes held a deep, profound look. “Okay.”

Even if he felt he was already better, why turn a three-day benefit into one?

Especially with a soft, fragrant, and adorable Alpha like Xu Wanxing by his side.

Three days later.

Xu Wanxing looked at Lu Yanbai, who was meticulously applying an inhibitor patch and spraying deodorant on him, feeling a little confused.

Didn’t he want him covered in his scent before?

Why the change now?

Lu Yanbai’s possessiveness was overflowing, but he was also more concerned about Xu Wanxing than before.

He liked having Xu Wanxing covered in his scent, but he did not want others to look at Xu Wanxing with strange expressions.

Upon arriving at the hospital,

Lu Yanbai kept one arm around Xu Wanxing. Whenever anyone stared at Xu Wanxing, he would give them a warning look.

He already regarded Xu Wanxing as his possession; others had no right to look.

Lu Yanbai also realized his own condition was not right. Once at the department, he asked Xu Wanxing to wait outside. After his tests, looking at the doctor’s solemn face, Lu Yanbai’s heart sank.

Had he just met the person he most wanted to be with in this life, only for some accident to occur?

Was it a terminal illness or what? He dared not imagine.

Lu Yanbai’s heart clenched. He continually calculated his assets, thinking of giving all of it to Xu Wanxing after his death, leaving not a single penny for his greedy relatives.

No, he must ensure Xu Wanxing becomes a backstage power broker like Lin Yao, otherwise wouldn’t Xu Wanxing become a live target for the Lu family members?

That would absolutely not do. Even if he died, he had to ensure Xu Wanxing lived a life free of worries, happy and safe from threats for the rest of his life.

Tears welled up in Lu Yanbai’s eyes at this thought. He had lived this long and never thought he would have a moment where he felt so utterly reliant on someone.

Worrying that he wouldn’t eat or sleep well, worrying about all sorts of things.

To love someone is to have your heart involuntarily filled with them; thinking of them, yearning for them, and aching for them.

As long as Xu Wanxing was safe, sound, and happy for a lifetime, he would rest in peace even in the Yellow Springs.

Smiling contentedly in the afterlife.

That description should suffice.

As for whether Xu Wanxing would find a new lover, Lu Yanbai admitted he cared greatly about this, but he had no choice. He couldn’t bear for Xu Wanxing to live a lonely life alone, without anyone to take care of him.

He would arrange everything for him, including a new lover.

This was Lu Yanbai’s most cruel farewell to himself. He hoped his little fox would remember him.

If he couldn’t remember him, then all he could do was wish him a lifetime of happiness.

Lu Yanbai steadied his emotions. “Doctor, please just tell me directly. I will make arrangements for my aftermath.”
