My Jealous and Beautiful Villainous Wife (ABO) - Chapter 10

Long Xiao gazed into Si An’s eyes, silent for a moment. After several seconds, he finally spoke,

Alright.

More than a mere response, this single syllable carried the weight of a promise.

Though Long Xiao couldn’t recall ever looking at anyone else, that didn’t stop him from agreeing to Si An’s request.

He was more than willing to comply with Si An’s request, which didn’t quite feel like a demand.

However, upon hearing Long Xiao’s reply, Si An seemed to have been struck by a sudden thought. His ice-blue eyes, which had softened slightly, grew colder again, reverting to their previous aloofness.

Long Xiao’s throat tightened as his fingertips brushed against the paper contract Si An had given him—a cool, fragile sensation.

He lowered his gaze, picked up the contract, and handed it back to Si An.

The pure white signature line remained blank, devoid of Long Xiao’s name.

Si An frowned, his eyes questioning. Long Xiao spoke slowly,

During your Nesting Period, I won’t let you touch only hard scales.

Mr. Si, our Dragon Clan’s true forms are immense. My entire body will become your ‘nest.’

I can even hold you in my mouth. Of course, if you prefer, I’ll wear soft, plush pajamas and hold you in my arms.

As Long Xiao finished speaking, Si An’s pale complexion gradually flushed pink, and he glared fiercely at the Alpha.

If Long Xiao’s expression hadn’t remained so utterly calm, as if he were discussing something completely ordinary, Si An would have been convinced he was deliberately teasing him.

Si An pressed his lips together, his eyes betraying disbelief and a hint of anger.

Staring at Long Xiao’s face, he felt a renewed sense of astonishment.

Just as he had been struck by Long Xiao’s unwavering confidence during their first meeting, he now couldn’t fathom how the Alpha could utter such words so casually.

Didn’t he feel any shame?

When Long Xiao offered the contract back, Si An refused to take it. His face felt hot, though more from anger than embarrassment.

He closed his eyes briefly, his pale golden lashes fluttering twice, his chest rising and falling slightly. When he reopened them, he slapped Long Xiao’s hand away, sending the contract flying.

Faced with the Omega’s reaction, a faint smile curved the Alpha’s lips. He tilted his head slightly, silver-white hair cascading down his shoulder.

Under the warm yellow lamplight, the silver strands seemed tinged with gold, softening their usual icy sharpness.

Long Xiao’s golden pupils narrowed into vertical slits, resembling those of a wild beast. His gaze slowly swept over Si An’s eyes, nose, lips, neck…

Long Xiao’s gaze lingered until the rest of Si An’s body was hidden by clothing, then finally returned to Si An’s face.

His expression remained calm, but the predatory hunger in his eyes—the desire to devour Si An whole—was laid bare.

Si An’s body stiffened momentarily. Being stared down by an apex predator was an unsettling sensation. Within mere breaths, his body began to heat up, and his bl00d raced through his veins.

As a King Cobra, Si An rarely found himself in the position of prey, which explained his delayed reaction.

But when the full implications of what had just transpired sank in, Si An pressed his lips into a thin line.

Dragon… Dragon.

The Dragon truly seemed exceptional. No Alpha had ever exerted such overwhelming pressure on him before.

He needed a partner who was either evenly matched or even stronger. The lingering thrill along his spine and the dopamine flooding his brain made his inclinations abundantly clear.

Now, when he looked at Long Xiao again, the Alpha’s eyes had returned to their normal state.

Long Xiao gazed at Si An’s slightly flushed cheeks, his softened, languid features framed by a smile. He seemed utterly composed, as if the Alpha who had darkened his eyes moments ago at Si An’s rejection had vanished without a trace.

Si An couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation. He straightened his posture, tilted his chin slightly, and looked down at Long Xiao with icy blue eyes.

Long Xiao, I hope you remember your own words.

For tomorrow’s gift, I want nine hundred and ninety-nine crystal roses.

Each one hand-sculpted by you, petal by petal.

Si An’s pale pink lips parted and closed, looking almost too kissable, but the words that came from them were far from gentle.

Faced with this deliberate provocation, Long Xiao’s eyes curved into a smile, clearly enjoying Si An’s fiery temperament.

He looked up at Si An, his long arm gently placing the contract on the opposite side of the desk. Very well, he said. I will only have eyes for you.

The gift will be in your office by eight tomorrow morning.

Now, Mr. Si, would you do me the honor of joining me for dinner?

As for this contract, I cannot sign it.

Long Xiao spoke without a trace of discomfort or anger, his honey-colored eyes glowing with unwavering focus under the soft light. His deep voice remained calm and even, as if he would never lose his temper, listening to every word Si An said.

Under Long Xiao’s steady gaze and his gentle, compliant manner, the lingering irritation in Si An’s heart inexplicably began to dissipate.

Besides, Si An hadn’t eaten dinner yet. After a long day’s work, his weary stomach deserved a proper reward.

With these thoughts, Si An said nothing more, merely glancing at the contract Long Xiao had returned. He lifted his gaze and said coldly, Mr. Long, because of your earlier words and expression, I’m deducting ten points.

If you refuse to sign the contract, I’ll deduct another ten points.

Long Xiao was speechless. The smile vanished from his face, and he froze for a moment before bursting into laughter.

My apologies, Mr. Si. I’ll sign it right away.

Please don’t deduct any more points. I’ll be more careful next time.
