DIGAOT Chapter 9

Su Yun suddenly had the illusion that his patience with President Lu, his arranged marriage partner, was like water in a sponge—no matter how much you squeeze, there’s always a little more you can give.

As Lu Yuan held him tightly, Su Yun instinctively wanted to push him away.

*It’s just an arranged marriage! Just an arranged marriage! Just an arranged marriage!* Su Yun kept repeating to himself in his mind, but their proximity was too close, their heartbeats too loud, gradually drowning out the four words he kept emphasizing.

“Wife, please?” President Lu’s voice was so close that Su Yun could almost feel the vibration in his chest.

The orange-scented pheromones gently wrapped around Su Yun’s fingertips, lingering there as if they were afraid of being rejected.

Lu Yuan: “Wife?”

Su Yun recalled a video he had seen a long time ago, where the protagonist was a small dog—well-behaved, holding its leash in its mouth, wanting its owner to cuddle.

It was a bit pitiful.

Su Yun’s fingers curled slightly: “Just for tonight.”

“Okay!” President Lu agreed immediately, hugging his pillow with delight.

“Wait—” Su Yun wanted to say, *Wait a moment, let me tidy up first,* but the president clearly didn’t want to wait even a second longer. Before Su Yun could finish speaking, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open by Lu Yuan.

The next moment, the air fell into an awkward silence.

President Lu stood in the room, holding his pillow, blinking in confusion. He then walked out, glanced at Su Yun standing by the door, and confirmed that this was indeed his Omega’s bedroom.

But… why did it look like no one lived here?

The TV still had a dust cover, and so did the sofa.

The only thing on the bedside table was some disposable toiletries, just like the kind you’d find in a hotel.

The only sign of life was the bed, but even that just had the bedding neatly spread, making the room feel cold and empty.

Now Su Yun really did feel guilty, even though he hadn’t figured out why. Still, he tried to explain: “I, um, just did some cleaning, so it might look a bit empty.”

President Lu looked at Su Yun, and it was hard to tell whether he believed him or not.

Either way, the hand that had been holding Su Yun’s fell away.

Su Yun closed his eyes, feeling inexplicably sad. When Lu Yuan had been holding his wrist, it hadn’t felt uncomfortable, but now that the president had let go, the place where the alpha had held him felt hot.

And that made him even sadder.

“…You just cleaned up?” It took a while, but Su Yun finally heard the president speak.

Su Yun didn’t know how to respond.

He felt like giving up: “I’m sorry, but as you can see, I’m always ready to leav—”

Su Yun wanted to say he was always ready to leave, to tell Lu Yuan not to concern himself with him, that their marriage was just an arrangement, and not to give him any more false hopes. He looked down at his shoes, telling himself he was just stating a fact, but this time, for some reason, his chest felt tighter, his throat closed up, and his vision became blurry with unshed tears.

As Su Yun struggled with his emotions, his hand was once again taken by the president.

The alpha’s ears were slightly red: “Wife, I miss you too!”

The tears threatening to spill from Su Yun’s eyes retreated: ???

Lu Yuan: “Wife, did you clean up because you wanted to live with me?”

His Omega had packed up everything so neatly; it had to be because he was ready to move in with him, just like how Lu Yuan always had his pillow ready to bring to Su Yun!

So they both wanted to be together!!

Lu Yuan: “Wife, I’m so happy!”

Su Yun was even more confused: ???

When did he ever say “I miss you”?

In fact, Su Yun didn’t realize that when he was talking about “leaving,” his voice had been trembling, and he had spoken so softly that it sounded less like he was stating a fact and more like he was full of reluctance and sorrow.

The president hadn’t heard the entire sentence clearly, only catching a few syllables.

“Yes, I… miss [Li]—”

Even though “leav[Li]” and “you [Ni]” sound different, that didn’t matter. President Lu figured that when people are nervous, it’s normal for them to mix up sounds—some people can’t even distinguish between different tones.

That wasn’t important!

What was important was: his Omega had cleaned up because he missed him?

His Omega wanted to live with him too!

Omega is so cute, his family member really is clingy!

President Lu thought that, as an alpha, he needed to take the initiative!

So, in the next moment…

Under Su Yun’s stunned gaze, the alpha swiftly grabbed the easily portable suitcase, along with Su Yun, and bundled them both up, carrying them back to his own bedroom.

The movement was so quick and efficient that by the time Su Yun regained his senses, he was already standing in front of the president’s bedroom door.

The president straightened his bed a little, then enthusiastically sat on it, waving to Su Yun at the door:

“Wife, come in!”

—

Lu Yuan (as long as I have my own understanding, no blade can catch me): “Turns out my wife and I are mutually pursuing each other!!” ?(?^o^?)?
