Thoroughly repulsed by Su Si’s cloying sweetness, Chu Weirang averted his gaze.
Without the slightest reluctance, he rose from the sofa and prepared to leave.
Unfortunately, someone caught his arm again.
Su Si gave a mischievous little chuckle, showing no awareness whatsoever that he was being presumptuous.
“Husband, since you’ve already come into my room… Tonight…”
He deliberately paused.
Then, with an almost playful expression, he slowly licked his lower lip.
The tip of his pink tongue swept across the soft flesh, leaving behind a glistening sheen.
His palm settled against Chu Weirang’s chest.
Even his voice took on a distinctly seductive quality.
“Why don’t you just stay and sleep here with me?”
Chu Weirang lowered his gaze toward the hand resting against him.
Completely uninterested, he pulled it away.
“I’ve already given you everything you asked for. Don’t be too greedy.”
Su Si treated those words as nothing more than passing wind.
His fingertips returned to the man’s sharply defined jaw, firmly tilting his face until he was looking directly at him.
“Given me everything? My darling husband, when exactly have you given yourself to me?”
“Today, I boldly promised Grandfather that I’d definitely give the Chu family another little member. If you won’t give yourself to me, how am I supposed to make that happen?”
Chu Weirang: “…”
What a headache.
The moment Su Si brought up the subject, Chu Weirang knew exactly what he was doing.
He was using Grandfather to pressure him.
That old man had become increasingly childish with age.
The older he grew, the more he behaved like a mischievous little boy.
Ever since meeting Su Si, he had become extraordinarily fond of him.
Whether it concerned his food or his daily necessities, Grandfather insisted that he receive only the very best.
Otherwise, he would never have been so adamant that Chu Weirang personally come to check on him after his injury.
If Su Si had truly knocked himself unconscious, Chu Weirang could reasonably have left after taking a look at him.
Unfortunately, the man was currently standing before him, lively and full of energy.
If Grandfather had not suffered a serious illness some time ago, Chu Weirang would have walked away without a second thought.
He pinched the bridge of his nose.
Everything about this situation was giving him a headache.
Su Si noticed that Chu Weirang had stopped trying to leave.
He immediately understood that the man had grasped the implication behind his words.
His slender, jade-like fingers moved toward the Alpha’s broad, masculine chest.
Gently, he undid the first button of his shirt.
That single button was like the lid of Pandora’s box.
Once opened, there was no telling what might follow.
One button…
Two buttons…
Three buttons…
Until finally, the last button had been undone.
Throughout the entire process, Chu Weirang made no attempt to stop him.
However, when Su Si bypassed the open jacket and reached directly for his belt, a pair of powerful hands suddenly seized his wrists.
Su Si’s gaze swept toward a certain area.
Without the slightest sense of shame, he exclaimed inwardly.
Good heavens! That’s enormous!
“Husband, what are you doing?”
Chu Weirang’s face remained cold.
The skin beneath his fingers was surprisingly soft and warm.
He wanted to fling Su Si’s hands away, but in the end, he could not quite bring himself to do it.
Instead, he carefully returned the Omega’s hands to his sides.
Su Si was somewhat surprised by the gentleness of that action.
Nevertheless, he did not allow his surprise to show.
After all, he still had not received the answer he wanted.
Chu Weirang spoke coldly.
“I’ve already told you not to be too greedy.”
“I’m leaving.”
As he spoke, he could not help feeling that Su Si must have cast some sort of spell on him today.
For a brief moment, he had actually entertained the idea of spending the entire night in the same room as this Omega.
If that was not some sort of enchantment, then what was?
Annoyed with himself, Chu Weirang prepared to leave.
Su Si watched him fasten his buttons without the slightest sign of anxiety.
He had already decided what to do next.
Fishing required patience.
Without patience, no one could hope to catch a big fish.
As the saying went, the longer the line, the bigger the catch.
Smiling cheerfully, he sat down on the edge of the bed and waited for the man to leave.
After a while, Chu Weirang finally finished fastening his buttons.
Su Si watched him take his first step.
Then he spoke.
“Ah, Grandfather keeps insisting that we add a new member to the family. But my husband won’t even spend the night with me. How am I supposed to give the family another member…?”
His voice was filled with genuine-sounding confusion.
Then, all of a sudden, his tone changed.
It was as though the clouds had parted and he had finally seen the light.
“Oh! Why don’t I go to a bar and find eighteen male models instead? Surely that would increase my chances!”
Go. To. A. Bar. And. Find. Eighteen. Male. Models.
There were at least three hundred things wrong with that one sentence.
The man who had just taken his first step abruptly stopped.
Very slowly, he turned around.
His gaze settled on the Omega sitting at the edge of the bed, who was still speaking as though his suggestion were perfectly reasonable.
For the first time, genuine anger appeared between Chu Weirang’s brows.
“What did you just say?”
Su Si immediately adopted an innocent, slightly foolish expression.
He pressed the tips of his index fingers together, shrank his neck, and spoke in a pitiful voice.
“Husband, you look a little frightening.”
Chu Weirang almost laughed from sheer anger.
This person had just openly announced, right in front of him, that he intended to make a cuckold of his husband.
And now he had the audacity to complain that Chu Weirang looked frightening?
Chu Weirang nodded slowly.
This was undoubtedly the first time someone had managed to infuriate him to such an extent without his being able to lose his temper.
And the person responsible was none other than his own wife.
Fine.
So he was being too frightening?
He carefully composed his expression.
He even managed a smile.
Unfortunately, it was the sort of smile that never reached his eyes.
Rather than appearing gentle, it made him look even more terrifying.
“I asked you what you just said.”
Su Si acted as though he had not noticed anything.
He could not see the man’s furious expression.
He could not see how tightly Chu Weirang was clenching his jaw.
Nor could he see how close the Alpha was to glaring his eyes right out of their sockets.
The obedient, delicate-looking young man clutched the hem of his clothes.
His bright, soft eyes shimmered with grievance.
His long eyelashes drooped, concealing the resentment in his gaze.
With an utterly dejected expression, he began pouring out his sorrows to the man standing before him.
“Husband, you won’t even spend the night with me. Grandfather keeps saying he wants another family member, and Mother even said that it doesn’t matter who it is. I just want everyone in the family to accept me.
“Everyone around us keeps saying that I only married into this family for money, but that’s not true at all!
“I saw you once somewhere in the past, and I was immediately captivated by you. As time went by, I slowly fell in love with you. I finally managed to marry you, but no one acknowledges our marriage, not even you, Husband. Why must I… Why do I have to suffer like this…? Boohoo~”
The young man’s nose turned slightly red.
He began sniffling softly, like some pitiful little animal.
Tears rolled down his cheeks, making him look unbearably miserable.
Only Su Si himself knew the truth.
When had he ever fallen in love with Chu Weirang?
The only thing he had fallen in love with was…
His money.
His money.
His money!
In other words, every single penny he possessed.
Su Si was completely immersed in his flawless performance.
Even while wiping away his tears, he found the time to sneak a glance at Chu Weirang’s expression.
Excellent.
The man was wearing the same sour expression as always.
Su Si immediately began crying even louder.
In reality, Chu Weirang had been left utterly bewildered by that long, passionate confession and the completely ridiculous reasoning behind it.
Several seconds passed before he finally regained his senses.
He stared at the fragile-looking Su Si, who had collapsed onto the bed and was sobbing pitifully.
Wonderful.
It was no longer merely a headache.
Now he was actually feeling dizzy.
Were all Omegas this noisy?
Chu Weirang rubbed his temples several times before he finally managed to regain a semblance of composure.
“Enough.”
“I’ll spend the night here with you. But don’t even think about anything else.”
“Go take a bath and get some sleep.”
Su Si, who had been pretending to cry, froze for a second.
Then he turned to look at Chu Weirang.
A crafty glimmer flashed through the depths of his eyes.
His plan had worked!
After all, this husband of his was hardly going to spend much time at home in the future.
Although Chu Weirang had promised to transfer ten million yuan to him every month, they had not signed any formal agreement.
What if the man suddenly stopped paying?
And what if, because they did not understand his position in the household, the servants began cutting corners with his food, clothing, and other daily necessities?
To prevent such situations, Su Si absolutely had to cultivate a good relationship with this useful husband of his.
At the very least, he needed outsiders to believe that Chu Weirang doted on him.
However, even Su Si had not expected that tonight…
The night was still very young.
