Food was served quickly, and the desserts were really delicious. The cream is soft and sweet, thick but not greasy, and is very appetizing when paired with slightly bitter milk tea.
But Lu Yunye didn’t seem to be very interested in these desserts. He only tasted a small bite, and commented, “Average.”
Seeing that there were still two plates in front of him, Shi Yi stretched out his hand and said, “Give it to me.”
As a result, Lu Yunye held him down, “Don’t eat too much.”
Shi Yi: “You’re wasting food…”
Lu Yunye: “I didn’t say I wouldn’t eat it. Also, you haven’t finished eating the vegetables in front of you.”
Shi Yi withdrew his hand, picked up a vegetable and ate it. Under his dissatisfied eyes, Lu Yunye slowly picked up the side dish, and put it in his mouth after a pause of two seconds. Each of them watching the bitter expressions on the other person’s face.
Halfway through the meal, a chubby alpha rushed in. He quickly found Lu Yunye, and then began to apologize with a bow.
“I’m sorry, President Lu, my child was ignorant and offended you.” The worried alpha apologized profusely. Judging from the beads of sweat on his forehead he must have rushed over in a hurry.
“It’s okay.” Lu Yunye took a sip of tea and suppressed the sweetness in his mouth. “It’s a little strange to see him outside during school hours.”
“Yes, yes, this kid skipped class.” The client wrung his hands awkwardly. “I will definitely educate him when I go back.”
Shi Yi felt helpless. He has seen too many parents like this. It’s not bad in itself, but they don’t spend time accompanying the child, thinking that everything will be fine if material needs are met, and are caught off guard when the child grows crooked.
“Spend more time with him,” Lu Yunye said flatly. “You don’t know what he needs.”
“Understood.” The chubby alpha exchanged a few more words, then ran to grab his child and teach him a lesson.
Don’t know if it was because of Lu Yunye’s verbal beating, but the omega didn’t refuse, and finally left with his father in desperation.
Shi Yi glanced at the departing pair, then looked at Lu Yunye in front of him, and subconsciously thought that Mr. Lu’s children would definitely be disciplined badly in the future…
It’s true that he was born in a military family.
But he immediately realized that Lu Yunye’s child has nothing to do with him. If he has time to take care of even eating an extra bite of dessert, he might as well spend his time caring about himself first.
Thinking of this, Shi Yi raised his head, facing Lu Yunye’s dark eyes like ink. He heard him say, “Why, do you think I’m too strict?”
Shi Yi: …Did I speak out what was in my heart?
“No…” Shi Yi choked out, unable to adapt to Lu Yunye’s blunt manner of speech.
Lu Yunye didn’t continue, and looked over quietly. Shi Yi’s heart trembled, his eyes began to wander around, “Well, there is a little bit.”
“Some of my actions are to manage our married life,” Lu Yunye said, “Of course, if you have different opinions, you can raise them.”
“Fortunately,” Shi Yi smiled, “I’m a person with relatively strong adaptability.”
“I don’t want you to adapt to my life,” Lu Yunye lowered his eyes. “I hope you can blend in. If you have any needs, you can tell me.”
“Just like I need your pheromone, I will ask for it directly.”
A top alpha relying on an omega’s pheromones should be a shameful thing to say, but Lu Yunye’s expression is very calm, making Shi Yi feel at a loss.
All along, their marriage was an unequal treaty. On paper, The Shi family has obviously benefited more. Lu Yunye’s request was nothing more than to not be entangled and after three years, divorce.
This kind of contract marriage is not uncommon among wealthy families. It sounds like a good cooperation, but can also be read as an omega selling itself to the other party in exchange for business benefits… So if the strength gap between the two parties is too large, such marriages will be heavily gossiped about behind closed doors.
These omegas will also be a lot more restrained in their husband’s home.
In particular, Shi Yi’s childhood environment did not allow him to make too many demands since he was a child. Shi Jinpeng always said that omegas are a burden to the family, and only valuable as a marriage bargaining chip.
In the beginning, Shi Yi tried currying favor with the members of the Shi family, but was ridiculed even worse. It wasn’t until he thoroughly discovered the inferiority of Shi family members that the eagerness to prove himself faded away.
He has been waiting for the day when he can live alone without alphas, but even after moving from Shi’s house to Lu’s house, this wish still hasn’t come true.
Shi Yi is actually very envious of those omegas who can confidently speak out their needs. Their generous and straightforward personalities come from their deep family background, and can even throw small tempers occasionally.
Unlike himself. Even after working for so many years and living well, he’s used to being subconsciously humble and accommodating others. In front of acquaintances, his ears are soft, and in front of strangers, he simply covers himself with a glass shield. His indifferent and withdrawn personality can scare away a large number of people.
He is like a kitten that has been abandoned several times. Even if he is finally taken in, he will just sit proudly on the roof and lick his paws. He can only sneak down to eat some cat food in the dead of night.
But now, Lu Yunye directly grabbed him by the nape of his neck, bringing him to a pile of colorful cans, and asking him what he needed.
Although this straight ball method is abrupt, it is just right for Shi Yi.
“Okay,” Shi Yi compromised. “Actually, I like sweets… You should have noticed that I enjoyed lunch today.”
Lu Yunye’s expression softened a little.
The omega added with a tangled expression. “I’m not used to relying on others, but next time if I don’t feel well, I will tell you in time.”
“En,” Lu Yunye nodded. “Good boy.”
Does Lu Yunye really not know how to praise others? Shu Wen was the only one who praised him for being good since he was a child. Shi Yi’s expression suddenly became unnatural, and he took a sip of white fungus soup and pretended not to hear.
Lu Yunye was slowly stirring the spoon. The result of the meal was beyond his expectations. It seems that there is a reason why this Internet celebrity restaurant is well-known,
In the future, he can consider continuing the VIP membership.
In the next few days, apart from his normal work, Shi Yi spent some time designing clothes for Lu Yunye.
After he became the CEO of Feiyi a few years ago, he has rarely been involved in design. He still studies with the design department every year, and participates in some fashion shows all over the world to maintain his aesthetic acumen.
Lu Yunye has a stern temperament and a calm personality, so he is suitable for wearing dark colors. His build is not as muscular as some alphas, and his muscles are smooth, so clothes that are too close-fitting will look strange, and it’s best if his silhouette is vaguely visible.
Shi Yi drew several styles in a row, and finally decided on a shirt and pullover. It took several days of detailed changes before the final draft was finalized.
Fashion design can be regarded as Shi Yi’s old profession; various elements rearranged themselves like formulas in his mind. After arranging and combining, he can always find the most suitable style. Underwear was the most difficult item to complete.
Feiyi doesn’t make underwear. Besides, he is the president, and sending the design draft to the design team is strange.
Shi Yi could only secretly borrow the company’s design room and sew them by himself. The employees in the design department are used to staying up late and coming to the company late during the day, so Shi Yi arrived at the company early every day, and it took three or five early mornings to finally finish the piece.
He leaned back on the chair. Even if it took his legs a lot of work, the end result is pleasing to the eye. Shi Yi packed the small piece of cloth in a paper bag, and took a copy of his business card and put it inside. This has been his habit since college, and any work he completes will be marked with a business card.
Shi Yi: Yay, I finally get dessert! 🥰
