Chi Jing was going on a business trip on Monday, and Luo Du was at home, firstly crying, secondly being noisy, and thirdly hanging himself. He was like a spoiled brat who was unaware of what was going on in the world.
Chi Jing watched him roll about and make a scene unreasonably. He couldn’t help but think. What if their child becomes like Luo Du in the future?
Not only noisy, but also a salted fish.
Chi Jing held his forehead, feeling that he couldn’t think about it anymore. He wouldn’t want to have children if he thought about it anymore.
The scene that Luo Du made unreasonably was ineffective. So he knelt at Chi Jing’s feet and called out to him, throwing a tantrum.
“What are you doing?”
“I don’t want you to go.”
“I’m only going for five days.”
“So long! Fifteen autumns! I will miss you so much.”
Chi Jing stretched out his hand to touch Luo Du’s hair and replied faintly, “Hmm.”
Luo Du climbed onto the sofa and laid on Chi Jing’s lap, crying. He hugged his waist, smelling the light peach fragrance, feeling reluctant and sad.
Later, Chi Jing cooked noodles for Luo Du. Knowing that he was going on a business trip, Luo Du was sad and didn’t have much dinner. But Chi Jing saw that he was just throwing a tantrum and wanted him to coax him.
You can’t divorce. So you can only coax the Alpha that you chose.
Luo Du liked to eat fish and crabs. The chef cooked these two dishes in the evening. But Chi Jing didn’t eat much. So he deboned the rest of the fish, dug out the crab meat bit by bit, and kept it fresh.
At this moment, he poured some crab butter1
, and stir-fried both the crab meat and the fish until fragrant. He added the filtered bone broth and brought it to a boil. He then put the blanched noodles in, seasoned them well, and sprinkled them with a little ground pepper, celery, and shallots to remove the fishy flavour and enhance the taste. After it was served, freshly blanched vegetables and corn kernels were placed on top, which looked very tempting.
Luo Du was so satisfied that after finishing the meal, he hugged Chi Jing, who was cleaning up the kitchen, with the bowl in his hands, pressed against him, and kissed and rubbed against the glands on the back of his neck.
It made Chi Jing very itchy and hot, “Stop it.”
Luo Du hummed, kissed him again, and muttered, “Wife, you are so kind. I love you so much.”
“Okay, let go. I’m going to pack my bags.”
“I’ll help you in a while. Let me kiss you now.”
Chi Jing couldn’t stand how sticky he was. So he pressed his forehead and said helplessly, “You just finished eating and haven’t brushed your teeth yet.”
“……”
Okay. Luo Du immediately picked up the cup of water next to him, rinsed his mouth, and took a sip of mouthwash. After spitting it out, he breathed on Chi Jing’s face, “I can kiss now!”
“You let go of me first. I’ll take off my apron.”
“No need.” Luo Du refused to comply with him. He clamped him firmly with both hands and kissed him until Chi Jing went soft. Most of his shirt was unbuttoned, and his apron was hanging partially.
In the spacious and bright kitchen, two men were in dishevelled clothes and exuding pheromones. Tequila and peaches were intertwined in the air and simmered.
“Luo Du……” Chi Jing pushed his shoulder impatiently. He couldn’t stand firmly anymore. He leaned on the kitchen table and said, panting, “Get up. Let’s go back to the bedroom to do it.”
Luo Du had his darling in his mouth, and his voice was a little unclear, “Let’s go back in a while. My wife, you are so sweet.”
“Ah! Don’t……”
“Is it comfortable?” Luo Du bit his inner thigh gently and asked him with a smile.
Chi Jing frowned, “Don’t bite. It hurts.”
Luo Du’s heart was about to float in the air. His Chi Jing was so beautiful.
Corrupted by lust and immersed in the hot and humid tide of love, he frowned a little, which seemed to be the usual alienation and indifference. But he knew that this was the patience and indulgence that were only for him. Such a Chi Jing was so beautiful that he was extremely obsessed with it.

After Chi Jing went on a business trip, Luo Du’s working hours changed from 9:00 in the morning to 12:00 in the evening. And his assistant, Ning Zhou, also followed him around.
Assistant Ning was exhausted both physically and mentally. He admired the minister’s energy very much, and at the same time, he desperately longed for the minister’s wife to go home as soon as possible.
The minister’s wife was so overwhelmed by the company’s affairs that he couldn’t go home for the time being, and it might even be postponed.
If Chi Jing had time, he would make a video call with Lou Du, and the two of them would eat and work together through the internet. Occasionally, when they were tired, they would feel much better when they raised their heads and looked at each other.
“Wife, have you eaten yet?” Lou Du opened the new proposal and started to read it. When working, Lou Du looked like the minister in the news again, serious and stern. But also calm and profound.
Chi Jing looked at him for a while, then cleared up the table and said, “Not yet. But I’ll go in a while.”
“What are you going to eat? I haven’t eaten yet. So I want to join you.”
“Well, vegetable porridge2
, radish soup3
, and stir-fried yams4
.”
They were all vegetarian dishes that Lou Du hated.
Lou Du paused for a moment, raised the corners of his mouth, and put down the document, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He focused his attention on video chatting with Chi Jing and said, “How did I offend you? You are so cruel.”
Chi Jing hummed, “You don’t have to eat it.”
“I will eat. I will eat whatever my wife eats.”
“I’m going to the factory in the afternoon and will be busy.” Chi Jing explained his itinerary to Lou Du. So as not to make Luo Du feel that he had disappeared as soon as he didn’t reply to his messages.
“Okay. What about tonight?”
“The charity gala. The one who invited you before.”
Luo Du thought about it for a long time and connected it with Chi Jing’s trip to Star Y before remembering that he had indeed been invited before, but he was not available, “Oh, I must have asked Ning Zhou to donate money for me.”
“Well, it was donated in our name. The organiser informed me.”
“You still want to go?” Luo Du felt a little sad that he had to go socialising in the evening after a busy day.
“The ministers from Star Y will also go. I’m opening a branch and building a factory there. So I can’t lose face.”
After being silent for a while, Luo Du couldn’t resist tracing his projected eyes and eyebrows with his hand. He wanted to soothe his tiredness and wanted to tell him. It’s okay. I’ll support you. You can lose face in front of anyone you want. But he couldn’t say it. It’s not that he couldn’t do it. But Chi Jing had been working hard, and he couldn’t insult Chi Jing’s dedication.
But he still felt distressed. He wanted to kiss him and be with him. And he regretted that he didn’t go with him. At worst, he would have stayed up a few more nights, and at worst, his plan would have been postponed for another two days. At this moment, he could only say useless words to him through the optical brain, “Drink less. I won’t be able to take care of you, so I will be worried.”
Chi Jing felt Luo Du’s gloominess. He unconsciously squeezed the pen in his hand and replied, “Well, I brought two assistants.” After saying that, he felt that he was a little cold and detached towards him and held back a few more words, trying to comfort him, “I’ll send you a message when I have time. Don’t worry.”
Luo Du looked at him with soft eyes. After a while, he said softly, “My wife works so hard to support me.”
He caused Chi Jing to smile.
And the shallow, sparkling light made Luo Du’s heart melt.

There were a lot of people at the party. Alphas, Betas, and Omegas were mixed together. Some people might not be able to control pheromones well after drinking alcohol, and they did not wear isolation equipment. The pheromones in the air were mixed together. Even if Chi Jing was already a fully marked Omega, he would still be affected. So in order not to cause new problems to arise unexpectedly and affect his work, Chi Jing wore an isolation bracelet and took inhibitory drugs at the same time.
He had always been rigorous and very careful about these kinds of things. He wanted to protect himself, not let Luo Du worry, and not affect what Luo Du was going to do.
Luo Du thanked him countless times for his caution.
Including this time.
