“Eh?” Shi Yi didn’t know how his words had stimulated him, but Lu Yunye seemed a little weird. It wasn’t until he saw his expression face to face that he realized where this weirdness came from.
It’s a guilty conscience.
It’s not the guilty conscience of doing something wrong, but rather suspicion and a lack of confidence when faced with the unknown.
Top alphas have always been proud and humble. Even if they make mistakes, they always act as they should. They have their own set of principles and logical rhetoric, which makes others unconsciously fall in line.
This is the innate character of top alphas, and why they sit at the top. Under the seemingly calm and tough exterior is the principle of doing things he has believed in for many years. Over time, this leads to conceit, and they rarely show such confused expressions.
It seems that what happened tonight caused some of Lu Yunye’s principles to collapse.
“Marking is also very important to alphas,” Lu Yunye said word for word. Seeing that Shi Yi didn’t respond, the roots of his ears gradually turned red.
As if eager to defend himself, he added: “At least that’s the case for me.”
“I don’t give marks casually,” Lu Yunye said in a single-minded manner. “I am responsible for what I do.”
Shi Yi was a little dazed, as if he couldn’t keep up with Lu Yunye’s train of thought. He didn’t know why he suddenly said this. “Um…”
“So I think Dr. Shen’s choice is correct. Even if he doesn’t have feelings for Uncle Shu, he still has an obligation to take care of him until he recovers.”
“And… even if it wasn’t me that night, it wouldn’t have been someone else.” Lu Yunye restarted the car, avoiding his gaze as he finished saying: “…Anyway, it won’t be someone else.”
“Ok, I know.”
Although Shi Yi didn’t know the psychological roller coaster Lu Yunye just went through, he still felt that his alpha might need some comfort. With Lu Yunye’s conservative family education, Dr. Shen’s confession might’ve been a bit too blunt and enthusiastic, and stimulated him.
In order to reassure the other party, he said slowly, “So you married me, right?”
“…” Lu Yunye’s breath was stagnant, and he almost drove the car into a pole.
That night, there was a new post shared in Dr. Shen’s circle of friends.
It’s a Q-version picture.1as in a cute cartoon picture There is a cat sitting on top of its owner’s head angrily, with its tail sticking up straight. The oppressed shit-shoveling officer is not angry, but has a happy smile on his face.
The accompanying text read: “The third cat.”
Shi Yi was finally relieved. Shu Wen is willing to find someone to spend the rest of his life with. This is the best thing. Besides, Dr. Shen seems reliable enough, and he doesn’t mind sharing his dad’s love with others.
Shu Wen’s state was relatively stable over the next few days probably due to Dr. Shen’s company. It’s just unfortunate they can’t spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together as planned.
In previous years, Xiao Ting organized the Lu family’s Mid-Autumn Festival gatherings all by herself. This year, she also invited Shi Yi to watch and help her.
Lu Yunye euphemistically mentioned several times that Shi Yi had to be busy with work and didn’t have much energy, but Xiao Ting politely turned him back.
“The mistress of the Lu family will have to learn this sooner or later,” Xiao Ting said. “Your father and I are both old. In case there is an accident some year, who will take charge of the family’s affairs?”
“Besides, this is also to let Xiao Yi stand up in front of them. You know how those relatives are. Many pairs of eyes will be on you this year. There must not make any mistakes.”
This was Shi Yi’s first time seeing even just the tip of the iceberg of the family consortium. Although Xiao Ting looks gentle and mellow, she does not procrastinate at all when doing things. She decided the venue, prepared gifts, checked out the list of hundreds of guests one by one, and managed the entire Lu family in an orderly manner.
Shi Yi heard that she used to be Lu Feng’s first-level secretary, and became a full-time housewife after getting married. But only she knows what she experienced in order to support the Lu family empire.
No wonder Lu Yunye and Lu Yunqing respected their mother so much, even Lu Feng had no temper in front of his wife.
It was Shi Yi’s first time planning, and he was so busy running around that his feet never touched the ground.
Lu Yunye stayed with him without saying a word, picking him up and chauffeuring him to and from work. At night, he was extremely sticky, as if he hadn’t touched enough.
“Lu Yunye, I’m tired…” Shi Yi removed the messy claws on his body. “I don’t want to tonight.”
He doesn’t object to having sex with Lu Yunye, and even enjoys it. But recently, he really has no energy, and can’t even keep his eyes open at night.
After hearing his refusal, Lu Yunye’s face was a little unnatural. After all, apart from his susceptible period, their sex life was completely controlled by Shi Yi. At best, he secretly teases him with pheromones, and if the other party doesn’t allow it, then he won’t do it.
“I’ll give you a massage.” Lu Yunye said calmly.
Anyway, it was their Lu family’s business, so Shi Yi unceremoniously asked Lu Yunye to serve him.
His palm was warm and firm, bringing forth a tingling sensation when rubbed. Shi Yi couldn’t help stretching his limbs, treating Lu Yunye’s thigh as a pillow.
Being rejected by his partner for several nights in a row also made Lu Yunye embarrassed. Lu Yunye even tried his best, thinking that when Shi Yi wanted it, he would not give it.
Unless he took the initiative to ask him.
Forget it, anything is ok.
“Yes, right here.” Shi Yi hummed. His waist was sore after standing for a whole day, and the hand relieved some of the pain during the massage.
It seems that a top-level alpha is not fully lacking after all.
Shi Yi’s voice became more and more out of tune, distracting Lu Yunye to think about what kind of posture he should get him to agree with later so as not to appear too eager.
The omega moved and slowly turned over. Lu Yunye subconsciously slowed down, as if afraid of disturbing the other party.
Then he heard Shi Yi’s even and long breathing.
Lu Yunye: “…”
He took a deep breath and squeezed the space between his eyebrows with his hands, but the throbbing in his heart couldn’t be suppressed. He could only resign himself to his fate and get up to go to the bathroom to solve the problem, but the omega on the bed frowned dissatisfied.
Shi Yi wasn’t fully asleep yet.
Lu Yunye didn’t dare to move too much, and honestly offered his thigh as a pillow. The muscles that were once steel and iron have become an omega’s pillow, and he even has to worry about waking him up.
Unexpectedly, his physical desire subsided a bit after seeing Shi Yi’s quiet side face, as if being able to hug the other party made him satisfied.
Lu Yunye lightly moved the omega back to the bed pillow, and suddenly thought of Dr. Shen’s frequent post about rubbing cats: ‘It’s good that the kitten is willing to let you rub, what more can you ask for?’
————
Shi Yi arrived early in the morning on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. After all, it was a formal occasion. To be conservative, he wore a light pink shirt from his company with casual trousers. He looked tall and unassuming, and not lacking in momentum.
Lu Yunye wore the suit he designed, which was more like a military uniform, with an air of inviolability. It didn’t feel like he was there for a family reunion, but to declare sovereignty.
When Shi Yi arrived at the scene, what he didn’t expect was that both Xiao Ting and Lu Yunqing were wearing clothes custom-made by Feiyi. The whole family was neat and tidy, even their styles were similar.
Although it had been expected long ago that the relatives of the Lu family each had their own plans, Shi Yi still managed to deal with them politely.
He finally also felt the responsibility of his other identity – Lu Yunye’s partner.
Although their marriage is no longer a secret, after being married for so long without a sign of pregnancy, those outsiders will also poke holes when possible.
There are those who deliberately flatter, and those who say like twisting words, not to mention those elders who are of the same generation as Lu Feng. Their scrutinizing gazes followed him, making him feel uncomfortable.
Shi Yi subconsciously looked over at Lu Yunye only to be taken aback. Standing beside Lu Yunye was a slender omega. The other party has fair skin, curly dark brown hair, light blue eyes, small and exquisite nose, and even a layer of cute small freckles.
He was pulling Lu Yunye to say something. His expression was bright and flamboyant as he reached out and took Lu Yunye’s arm.
Lu Yunye frowned, and shook his arms in disgust, but the other party smiled and held on. This time Lu Yunye did not escape.
It might be a relative of the Lu family. Shi Yi unnaturally turned his gaze away, not understanding why he was so shocked.
However, when he refocused his gaze, he found two children smiling and looking at him.
Shi Yi: “…”
Thinking that his gaffe just now might have been seen by the children, Shi Yi pursed his lips, and was about to say something, when his eyes blurred, and colorful ribbons sprayed all over his body.
“Big brother, look!” The younger boy waved the spray gun in his hand, chasing the colorful ribbons, screaming and dancing like a little sparrow.
“Big brother is a princess!”
“Boys can’t be princesses,” the older one corrected.
“But he’s wearing pink…”
Shi Yi shook his head helplessly, and when he looked again, Lu Yunye and that omega were no longer where they were.
While cleaning up the ribbons and pieces of paper on his body, he looked around aimlessly. Unexpectedly, he stepped into a pile of wires, and fell to the side uncontrollably!
With one foot caught, Shi Yi subconsciously swung his arm upwards, and actually grabbed a hand, and used his help to stand up.
“Thank you…” He raised his head in embarrassment, but his gaze immediately tightened. It was Lu Jingyan.
Shi Yi immediately wanted to shake off the other party, but that hand was like iron tongs and could not be shaken at all.
There was a din of people chatting amicably around them. Shi Yi gritted his teeth and didn’t know what to do for a moment.
“Brother-in-law, be careful.” Lu Jingyan clamped him, stretched out his other hand, and twirled a paper flower petal from under his shoulder.
He brought the petals in front of Shi Yi, and the two stood together as if they were very close. “It’s very beautiful.”
Shi Yi was about to explode when a deep voice came from behind: “Lu Jingyan, what are you doing?”
Lu Yunye is here!
Just as Shi Yi was about to turn his head, he felt the force in front of him pull him forward, and he was pulled directly into Lu Jingyan’s arms.
And the other party blinked, looking very innocent: “Brother, brother-in-law bumped into me by mistake.”
I smell gunpowder!
