Which Fierce Alpha Disguises as a Beta to Abduct a Wife? - Chapter 24

“I might be tired; I didn’t sleep well last night.” This was merely the consequence of injecting two doses of high-potency inhibitor at once. His body was drowsy, and his complexion was off.

“Then sleep for a while. I’ll wake you when my brother gets back.” Zhou Yunqiu led him to the edge of his own bed, lifting the thin quilt and gesturing for Jiang Huaiyan to lie down.

Jiang Huaiyan refused. “There’s no need. I’ll just go downstairs and rest for a bit.” This was Zhou Yunqiu’s bed; it was inappropriate for him to lie there.

“You must sleep, and you’re sleeping in my bed. Don’t worry, I won’t mess with you,” Zhou Yunqiu insisted, forcibly pushing him down onto the mattress.

“Little Young Master…”

“This is an order. As a bodyguard, you should obey.” Zhou Yunqiu’s face was set with persistence.

Looking at his face, Jiang Huaiyan knew he couldn’t refuse. He could only lie down with a sense of trepidation. The soft pillow exuded the faint lime fragrance unique to this Omega. The scent was light, but it had a miraculous soothing effect on him. The drowsiness hit him even harder; the moment he closed his eyes, he fell fast asleep.

Listening to his even breathing, Zhou Yunqiu reached out to poke his face. “Asleep already? Did you go out and play thief last night to be this tired?” he whispered in surprise.

Jiang Huaiyan didn’t answer, his eyes remaining tightly shut. Zhou Yunqiu sat by the bed watching him for a while before finally deciding to climb up and lie down beside him.

The man next to him was lying perfectly straight and stiff, which made Zhou Yunqiu a bit dissatisfied. He nudged Jiang Huaiyan’s body over, forcing him to lie on his side facing him. Then, he pillowed his head in the crook of Jiang Huaiyan’s arm and lifted the man’s other arm to drape it around his own waist.

Now, he was being held in Jiang Huaiyan’s embrace. Perfect!

Zhou Yunqiu felt a surge of secret joy, his heart sweet as honey. This embrace was so comfortable; it would be wonderful if he could sleep like this every night. But Jiang Huaiyan would certainly never agree to it. That stubborn man—even with Zhou Yunqiu being this proactive, he still refused to take a single step forward. How could he have so much self-restraint?

Zhou Yunqiu looked up in confusion, gazing at Jiang Huaiyan’s sleeping face. Even in sleep, his brow is furrowed this tightly? Is he sleeping fitfully?

The Omega instinctively released his soothing pheromones, wanting to comfort the person he loved. By the time he realized what he was doing, Jiang Huaiyan’s brow had already smoothed out, and his complexion looked much better.

“Huh?” Zhou Yunqiu found it strange. Wasn’t Jiang Huaiyan a Beta? Why did his soothing pheromones work on him? No, no—it must be a coincidence. The man couldn’t smell his pheromones at all. What a pity.

With a helpless sigh, he settled back into the embrace and fell asleep while holding him.

Later, Jiang Huaiyan slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the exquisite face of the Omega in his arms, he suddenly felt a powerful urge to kiss him—to make this Omega belong only to him.

The pheromones had been very effective; in just a short while, they had restored his body to a normal level. But this person couldn’t be his Omega forever. In the future, he might fall in love with another Alpha, marry, have children, and completely forget him.

Little Young Master, will you forget me?

Jiang Huaiyan suddenly lowered his head and gently bit Zhou Yunqiu’s lip. Zhou Yunqiu let out a pained moan in his dream, startling Jiang Huaiyan into letting go immediately.

“Not good…” Zhou Yunqiu smacked his lips and muttered unconsciously.

Jiang Huaiyan’s heart pounded wildly, and he instinctively held him tighter, greedily drinking in the scent on his body. After an unknown amount of time, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

“Qiuqiu, what are you doing in there?” It was Zhou Yunqing’s voice.

Jiang Huaiyan’s eyes snapped open. He released Zhou Yunqiu, quickly got off the bed, and straightened his clothes before nudging Zhou Yunqiu. “Little Young Master, wake up. The Eldest Young Master is back.”

Zhou Yunqiu stretched discontentedly. “I’m not done sleeping yet.”

“Don’t sleep anymore. We might be leaving right away.”

These words instantly chased away Zhou Yunqiu’s sleepiness. He sat up abruptly. “What time is it?”

“One in the afternoon.”

Zhou Yunqiu scrambled out of bed and pulled open the door. Seeing Zhou Yunqing standing outside, he reached out to hug him. “Brother, are you leaving already? Can’t you just stay?”

Zhou Yunqing looked at his younger brother’s disheveled clothes, then glanced at the neatly dressed Jiang Huaiyan inside the room. His brow furrowed.

“I can’t bear to let you guys go. Brother, why don’t you take me with you?”

Zhou Yunqing pushed him back to make him stand properly. “Don’t be ridiculous. We have serious business this time. You stay home and be good.”

“Can’t I come along for serious business?”

“No.”

“Brother~”

“Don’t act spoiled. Being spoiled doesn’t work on me.”

Zhou Yunqiu pouted, glaring unhappily at Zhou Yunqing. Distracted by his brother’s pestering, Zhou Yunqing didn’t press further into what the two had been doing in the room, though the look he gave Jiang Huaiyan grew more complex.

After lunch, Jiang Huaiyan prepared to leave with Zhou Yunqing. Zhou Yunqiu was incredibly reluctant. “Can you really not take me?”

“Take advantage of these days without distractions to study hard. You still have an exam to finish, right? Prepare well.”

“I get it, brother,” Zhou Yunqiu huffed.

As the two headed toward the garage, Zhou Yunqiu chased after them, standing at the door and calling out softly to Jiang Huaiyan, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Jiang Huaiyan: “…Study hard.”

“Jiang Huaiyan!”

“Take care of your health.”

Zhou Yunqiu: “…” He really couldn’t expect anything from this man!

He curled his lips into a smile and blew a kiss toward Jiang Huaiyan. “I’ll miss you. Remember to come back early, okay?”

Zhou Yunqing had reached his limit. “Get back inside this instant!”

Zhou Yunqiu decisively bolted. Watching his fleeing figure, the corners of Jiang Huaiyan’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch into a slight smile.

“Is this how he usually treats you?” Zhou Yunqing asked from the back seat of the car.

Jiang Huaiyan: “…” How was he supposed to answer that? If Zhou Yunqing hadn’t been there, Zhou Yunqiu would have been even bolder. Since Jiang Huaiyan didn’t answer, Zhou Yunqing took it as a tacit confirmation.

He massaged his temples helplessly. “I’m giving you a raise.”

“Thank you, Eldest Young Master.”

Jiang Huaiyan stayed in C City with Zhou Yunqing for three days. These three days were very safe, without any danger. The only “danger” was Zhou Yunqiu.

Zhou Yunqiu had started sending him photos. At first, they were handsome shots—that exquisite face was a pleasure to look at. Jiang Huaiyan had to admit that Zhou Yunqiu was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. Every angle, every strand of hair, was perfect.

When Zhou Yunqiu didn’t receive the praises he wanted, he began sending photos that were much more provocative: his collarbones, his chest, his slender waist…

Tonight, he sent a photo of his long legs. Those fair, slender legs made it impossible for Jiang Huaiyan to look away. These legs should have his marks on them; they should be wrapped around his waist!

Jiang Huaiyan took a deep breath and secretly saved the photo into his private album.

“No reaction at all? You couldn’t have started masturbating, could you?” Having received no reply, Zhou Yunqiu sent a direct message. Those two words appearing on the screen made Jiang Huaiyan’s face turn beet red.
