ABO My Alpha is a Housewife - Chapter 3

Mo Chi lightly touched Shen Jin’an’s lips. They were soft, undeniably kissable, but the man was too oblivious to react.

Just as Mo Chi was about to pull back, Shen Jin’an wrapped an arm around his back, pulling him closer. Their bodies pressed tightly together, and Shen Jin’an’s lips crashed down on his.

Both were inexperienced, their movements clumsy, but the fire had been lit, and neither wanted to stop.

It wasn’t until they were gasping for breath that Shen Jin’an finally released Mo Chi, their foreheads pressed together.

His hand slid up Mo Chi’s back, reaching for the scent gland at the base of his neck. Would you let me help you?

Mo Chi shuddered. He felt miserable, yet something was missing. It wasn’t until Shen Jin’an’s fingers brushed against his gland that he finally understood what he craved.

He reached up and touched Shen Jin’an’s gland, feeling the barrier patch beneath his fingers. No wonder an Alpha like you dared to care for an Omega like me.

Rip!

Mo Chi tore off the barrier patch. Now you can help me.

Ever since Mo Chi entered his heat, Shen Jin’an had been eagerly offering himself. However, Mo Chi had been cold to him for years, ever since Shen Jin’an differentiated into an Alpha.

To Mo Chi, Shen Jin’an’s offers were nothing but provocations.

Shen Jin’an knew this.

Yet he persisted, terrified that if he took his eyes off Mo Chi for even a moment, someone else might mark him.

The thought was unbearable.

After seeing Mo Chi’s condition after the fight yesterday, Shen Jin’an suspected he was nearing his limit. Sure enough, Mo Chi was absent from school today. Shen Jin’an immediately took leave, bought groceries, and rushed to Mo Chi’s apartment.

He had finally prevented the man he had guarded for so many years from being casually marked by someone else.

Pulling down Mo Chi’s collar slightly, Shen Jin’an was enveloped in an even stronger wave of milk-and-honey pheromones.

His gland, now exposed by the torn barrier patch, stirred restlessly, releasing Champagne pheromones to comfort Mo Chi.

Any other Alpha would have long lost control, their own pheromones surging violently as they forcibly marked Mo Chi. But Shen Jin’an possessed remarkable self-restraint. Moreover, with the barrier patch only recently removed, his movements remained gentle, lacking the aggressive force and violence typical of Alphas marking Omegas.

Warm breath brushed against Mo Chi’s neck. He shifted slightly, and the intimate atmosphere instantly dissipated. Having already conceded to letting Shen Jin’an mark him, he just wanted it over with quickly.

What are you thinking about? If you don’t hurry up, I’m going to change my mind!

Shen Jin’an pushed aside his lingering thoughts, lowered his head, and opened his mouth, allowing his teeth to make contact with Mo Chi’s gland.

The gland was incredibly delicate, its surface covered in the most tender skin.

Since his differentiation, Mo Chi had never bothered to learn about this aspect of Omega biology. He hadn’t realized it would hurt. When the pain shot through him, he nearly shoved Shen Jin’an away.

Fortunately, Shen Jin’an knew Mo Chi was ignorant of these matters. He held Mo Chi firmly in his arms, giving him no chance to push him away.

If Mo Chi had suddenly pushed him away before Shen Jin’an could retract his teeth, the gland could have easily been injured.

After the initial pain subsided, Mo Chi finally experienced relief for the first time in his half-month-long heat. He closed his eyes, savoring the blissful sensation.

No wonder both Omegas and Alphas cherished the act of marking so deeply.

The two men’s pheromones gradually mingled in the air, making Mo Chi feel slightly drunk and dizzy.

Sensing that the restless pheromones within Mo Chi had calmed down, Shen Jin’an withdrew from Mo Chi’s gland.

Mo Chi slumped limply into his arms.

Kneeling with Mo Chi in his embrace, Shen Jin’an wrapped one arm around Mo Chi’s legs. His other hand, which had been resting on Mo Chi’s shoulder, slid down his back. With a surge of strength, Shen Jin’an stood up, lifting Mo Chi into a princess carry.

Mo Chi lay limply in his arms, clearly displeased with being carried this way. Shen Jin’an, put me down!

Shen Jin’an remained silent, carrying Mo Chi straight to the guest room.

I want to sleep in my own room!

Technically, they were both in their own home, so it shouldn’t matter where he slept. Mo Chi simply resented Shen Jin’an’s wordless decision to arrange things for him.

Shen Jin’an gently placed him on the bed. Aren’t you sensitive to my pheromones? That room is saturated with them.

Mo Chi pulled the blanket over himself and turned his back. You can get out now!

When no one answered, Mo Chi grew curious. Suddenly, Shen Jin’an flipped him over to face him and pecked him on the cheek. I want to take care of you!

Mo Chi glared at Shen Jin’an. Who told you to kiss me? Get out!

But… They had just kissed, and on the lips too.

Don’t think that just because you temporarily marked me once, you can have me. I’ll never be with you.

Mo Chi was furious. How dare he be manipulated like this?

Even though Shen Jin’an was undeniably kissable, Mo Chi couldn’t stand the sight of him right now. It made him feel like the days of being dominated were just around the corner.

This was utterly unacceptable!

You… I… We… Shen Jin’an understood. They had kissed, they had marked each other, but Mo Chi had no intention of being with him.

I don’t mind being the one dominated, Shen Jin’an heard himself say.

Get out! Insult! Pure, naked insult! Even if Mo Chi were on top, he had still differentiated into an Omega. Whether he dominated or not couldn’t change the fact that he was now an Omega.

Shen Jin’an left. He understood Mo Chi well enough to know that if he didn’t leave now, any chance of a relationship would be gone forever.

Even though Mo Chi wasn’t willing to give him a formal title yet, wasn’t this a significant step forward?

Shen Jin’an raised a hand to his lips, utterly unable to suppress the expression on his face.

Brother Shen, did you go to the Mo Family to see Brother Mo again?

Just as he stepped out the door, he ran into Li Ziyu, who was home sick on leave.

Shen Jin’an nodded in response, making no attempt to hide his expression. Yeah, Mo Chi’s not feeling well. I came to check on him.

Li Ziyu looked puzzled. But Brother Mo is an Omega now, and you’re an Alpha. Going to see him… is that really okay?

During an Omega’s heat, it’s best for them to avoid other Alphas, except for the one who’s marked them.

Wait a minute!

Realizing something, Li Ziyu’s eyes widened, his sick body suddenly energized. Shen Jin’an, you and Brother Mo… you two didn’t actually get together, did you?

Those who didn’t understand Mo Chi assumed that no one would be interested in an Omega with such a weak sense of self, who always dreamed of being an Alpha.

But Li Ziyu knew better. Shen Jin’an had always harbored feelings for Mo Chi. Even before their differentiation, when Mo Chi wanted to become an Alpha, Shen Jin’an had wished to become an Omega. His feelings for Mo Chi had never been simple.

Later, when Li Ziyu learned that Mo Chi liked An Xin, he never revealed his own feelings. Li Ziyu only found out because Mo Chi got injured in a fight, and while guarding Mo Chi’s hospital room, Li Ziyu discovered them holding hands.

Li Ziyu raised his eyebrows, his face brimming with gossip-hungry curiosity. Brother Shen, have you two made any progress?

He had always been eager to see when Shen Jin’an would finally win over Mo Chi, the Omega who was obsessed with differentiating into an Alpha.

Li Ziyu, being an Alpha himself, disliked Mo Chi and believed many other Alphas felt the same.

He was genuinely curious about what it would be like to see someone like Mo Chi with Shen Jin’an.

Shen Jin’an’s face glowed with happiness. Knowing Li Ziyu was the only one who knew his secret, he could only brag to him. I temporarily marked Mo Chi.

Really?! That’s incredible!

Li Ziyu leaned closer, gesturing excitedly with his fingers. So, are you two… together now? If they were officially together, he’d definitely spread the word—the couple he’d been shipping had finally gotten together!

Not exactly. Shen Jin’an’s expression darkened at the mention of it.

Li Ziyu’s smile instantly faltered. I knew it. Someone like Brother Mo would never get together with an Alpha so easily.

Just keep the temporary marking thing to yourself. He’s easily embarrassed. If anyone finds out, I’ll be the one getting beaten up next.

Don’t worry, Brother Shen. Until things are settled between you and Brother Mo, I won’t breathe a word to anyone else. My lips are sealed! Li Ziyu thumped his chest and mimed zipping his mouth shut.

I trust you completely.

Mo Chi, feeling a bit stronger, sat on the balcony watching the outside world. He saw Li Ziyu waving cheerfully as he left with Shen Jin’an, whose goofy grin made him look like he’d just won the lottery.

Pah! Mo Chi thought. He temporarily marked me—that’s the real jackpot here.

If anyone found out he’d failed to endure his first heat and had to be temporarily marked, he’d be the laughingstock of the century.

Shen Jin’an’s phone rang. He pulled it out to see Mo Chi’s name flashing on the screen.

How long has it been since Mo Chi called me first?

He turned to look toward Mo Chi’s room and saw him standing by the window, watching him.

Mo Chi waved his phone at him when he caught Shen Jin’an’s eye.

Shen Jin’an quickly answered the call.

If you dare breathe a word about this temporary marking, you’re dead!

The call ended abruptly. Mo Chi made a throat-slitting gesture at Shen Jin’an.

Shen Jin’an So cute!

Mo Chi put his phone away. Did he just curse me out?

After the temporary marking, Mo Chi’s heat subsided quickly.

But he refused to return to school so soon. Going back so quickly would be practically announcing to everyone that he’d been temporarily marked—utterly humiliating.

Besides, for the next half-month, every Alpha and Omega would be able to smell Shen Jin’an’s pheromones on him, exposing him completely.

The thought of their scornful expressions when they found out made him feel suffocated.

Shen Jin’an was undeniably handsome, but his personality was too soft. Being marked by someone like that would be embarrassing too.

Mo Chi had been an Omega for several years, yet he still held himself to Alpha standards.

Although Mo Yanfei was Mo Chi’s father, he was also an Alpha. During Mo Chi’s heat, it was inappropriate for him to stay home. After that day, he lived elsewhere, calling Mo Chi several times daily to ensure his safety and that he didn’t need to go to the hospital.

Thus, he remained unaware that Shen Jin’an had temporarily marked Mo Chi, pulling him out of the danger of his heat.

Shen Jin’an visited the Mo Family residence every day to check on Mo Chi.

When Mo Chi told him to leave, he refused. Was he the type to give up so easily?

Knowing the passcode to the Mo Family’s gate, Shen Jin’an simply walked in, bypassing Mo Chi’s attempts to stop him.

Mo Chi changed the passcode, but Shen Jin’an knew him too well. The new code only slightly inconvenienced him, requiring a few more attempts.

Alone at home, Mo Chi, never one to stay put for long, grew restless after a few days. Annoyed by Shen Jin’an’s constant presence, he decided to go out.

Shen Jin’an couldn’t take daily leave from work, so he usually arrived after classes. Knowing Shen Jin’an would likely come soon, Mo Chi dressed and headed to the bar.

As a second-generation wealthy heir, the most law-abiding thing he did was wait until he turned eighteen before stepping into a bar.

His alcohol tolerance was poor, which might explain why he felt dizzy the moment he caught a whiff of Shen Jin’an’s Champagne pheromone. After all, Shen Jin’an’s pheromone was a plus version of Champagne, far more potent than the standard variety.

So, he went to bars purely for the entertainment—the drama and the dancing a sport he particularly enjoyed.
