My Jealous and Beautiful Villainous Wife (ABO) - Chapter 15
Long Xiao’s gaze burned so intensely that Si An found it impossible to ignore.
Â
Long Xiao’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he stared at Si An across the table, longing to kiss him.
Â
But he could only dream of it. As a barely permitted suitor, he had yet to earn the right to kiss an Omega.
Â
With a sigh, Long Xiao reluctantly withdrew his gaze. His thick, silvery-white lashes lowered, casting the desire in his eyes into shadow.
Â
Just then, a waiter’s voice echoed from outside the door
Â
Excuse me, Mr. Long. May I come in?
Â
Long Xiao turned his head slightly and replied in a deep, magnetic voice, Enter.
Â
Si An set down his teacup, noticing his palms were damp with sweat. The unfamiliar tension made him uneasy.
Â
This was the second time his adrenaline had surged tonight. Si An pressed his lips together, then lifted his gaze, his expression as serene and composed as ever.
Just like the previous night, tonight’s meal was quiet and uneventful.
Â
By the time they finished eating, it was nearly nine o’clock. Long Xiao usually went to bed promptly at ten every night.
Â
After finishing their meal, they stood up together and walked out of the dining room. Long Xiao glanced at Si An’s profile and asked in a low voice, Shall I drive you home?
Â
Before the words had even faded, Si An chuckled softly. Drive me home in my own car?
Â
Long Xiao showed no embarrassment, stating his reason plainly, It’s later than yesterday.
Â
The unspoken implication was clear he was concerned for the Omega’s safety.
Â
Si An turned his head, casting a sidelong glance at Long Xiao. Half of the Alpha’s face was obscured by the dim lighting. No need, he replied.
Â
Long Xiao gazed into Si An’s eyes, which appeared a deep blue in the dim light, and fell silent for a moment.
Â
That’s right, he thought. My beloved Omega is a King Cobra.
Â
Perhaps instead of worrying about Si An’s safety, he should be more concerned about those foolish enough to cross him.
Â
Having realized this, Long Xiao withdrew his gaze and said nothing more. As they parted, he added calmly, Tomorrow’s gift will also arrive at eight in the morning. I won’t be there I have a cooking class.
Si An’s back stiffened, his footsteps halting momentarily. He tilted his head slightly, as if considering turning back to look at Long Xiao.
Â
But in the end, he didn’t turn around. He continued walking forward, offering no response, leaving only his indifferent silhouette behind.
Â
Long Xiao watched Si An get into the car and waited until the vehicle disappeared from sight before calling Special Assistant Chen to bring his own car.
Â
His car was parked at the entrance of the Si Group, so he would have to wait a while.
Â
What Long Xiao hadn’t anticipated was that within that brief wait, he would encounter the main male leads again.
Â
Wen He strode ahead, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot, beads of sweat dotting his forehead, looking utterly disheveled.
Â
Ye Shu fared no better. His frail face flushed crimson, his breath coming in ragged gasps as Wen He dragged him by the wrist toward Long Xiao.
Â
Long Xiao’s expression remained unchanged, his hands still casually tucked into his pockets as he stood imposingly at the restaurant entrance, showing no intention of yielding or retreating.
Â
His gaze fixed openly on the flustered, disheveled pair, a hint of amusement flickering in his golden eyes. Yet outwardly, he maintained an air of aloof nobility.
Â
Ye Shu noticed Long Xiao, but before he could react with surprise, he lowered his head.
As if ashamed to be seen in his current state, Ye Shu lowered his head, his hair falling to obscure his eyes. He shook his hand and murmured for Wen He to release him.
Â
Perhaps frustrated by a long day of work and still unable to see Si An, Wen He didn’t even glance at Ye Shu. Instead, he fixed a cold, piercing gaze on Long Xiao.
Â
He strode toward Long Xiao, his tone barely maintaining a semblance of civility.
Â
Mr. Long, have you seen—
Â
Wen He had only taken a few steps when his words abruptly cut off. His face paled, and he froze in place.
Â
A suffocating pressure emanated from the Alpha standing nearby.
Â
Long Xiao simply stood there, watching him, yet Wen He couldn’t muster the courage to meet his gaze.
Â
It was a bone-chilling sensation. His legs turned to jelly, and in an instant, his throat constricted, rendering him speechless.
Â
Long Xiao calmly observed Wen He’s sudden pallor, smiled faintly, and withdrew his gaze.
Â
Cold sweat drenched Wen He as he stood rooted to the spot. The fact that he hadn’t collapsed to his knees was a testament to his desperate struggle to maintain composure.
He hadn’t even detected a trace of the other man’s pheromones. This wasn’t a pheromone battle or a display of dominance.
Â
It was simply the overwhelming presence of a higher species—a ‘presence’ that made even apex predators like tigers seem insignificant compared to a Dragon.
Â
Ye Shu stared at his suddenly released wrist, momentarily stunned.
Â
His puzzled eyes blinked, and when he looked up, he realized what had happened. Before he could even offer a word of thanks, Long Xiao had already gotten into his car.
Â
It was a supercar that looked incredibly expensive, vanishing in an instant, leaving only the fading roar of its engine.
Â
In the driver’s seat, Special Assistant Chen pushed up his glasses, his expression puzzled. He turned to Long Xiao in the passenger seat and asked, President Long, was that… the young master of the Wen Corporation?
Â
Long Xiao’s eyes were half-closed, his expression indifferent. He didn’t answer directly, instead saying, Drop me off at the next intersection. I’ll drive home myself.
Â
Special Assistant Chen ……
Â
Sometimes he really wanted to quit.
Â
But he endured! For the sake of his high salary, Special Assistant Chen could endure! He could do it!
Si An emerged from the bathroom, drying his hair. His refined features relaxed into a languid expression, resembling a sleepy snake.
Â
His hair was still damp he hadn’t bothered to blow-dry it, opting instead to glance at his constantly buzzing phone.
Â
Unfortunately, the glowing screen didn’t display the message he’d hoped for.
Â
It was Assistant Su, still diligently reporting work updates at nearly ten o’clock at night.
Â
Si An pursed his lips and tossed the phone onto the bed. The city lights blazed brilliantly beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, while the bedroom remained unlit.
Â
A mid-length silk robe, its pale gray fabric accentuating his smooth skin, draped to mid-calf.
Â
Si An maintained a disciplined workout routine, his physique well-toned and comparable to that of an average Alpha, though less muscular.
Â
When he pointed his toes, the muscles in his calves and thighs became clearly defined.
Â
Lowering his gaze, Si An exhaled and poured himself a drink.
Â
But just as he raised the glass, his phone, still lying on the bed, began ringing again.
I’ve seen the world, done it all, had my cake now…
Â
The first line of the sentimental English song had barely played when Si An answered the call.
Â
Hello?
Â
Hello? President Si, I just received news about the Wen Family…
Â
Si An frowned slightly, but Assistant Su’s next words completely darkened the Omega’s expression.
Â
His already cold and handsome face froze over. Impatient, Si An cut her off coldly, From now on, focus all efforts on targeting the Wen Corporation. Bring them down as quickly as possible.
Â
After Si An’s words, Assistant Su seemed stunned. After a two-second pause, she finally replied, Understood, President Si.
Â
The call ended. Si An brushed a stray strand of hair behind his ear and glanced at the full-wall display cabinet across the bedroom.
Â
In the vast, empty display grids, only two compartments were filled.
Â
They held two roses that radiated a faint, beautiful glow even in the dimly lit room.
Â
One was a magnificent golden bloom, the other a dazzling, translucent crystal.
After several dozen seconds, Si An finally withdrew his gaze and quietly burrowed his entire body under the comfortable duvet.
Â
He no longer felt like savoring the wine he had just poured.
Â
It was only at this moment that the belated text message finally appeared on Si An’s phone screen.
Â
Si An glanced at it once before turning off the screen, placing the phone on the bedside table, and closing his eyes.
Â
Long Xiao Good night, sweet dreams.
