My Jealous and Beautiful Villainous Wife (ABO) - Chapter 16

In the morning, Long Xiao’s gift arrived at the office before Bi Si’an did.

It was a massive bouquet of pink roses, with a small white jewelry box placed beside it, almost unnoticed due to its size compared to the roses.

Si An glanced at it indifferently, knowing without looking that it was ninety-nine pink roses.

The red roses on the living room table hadn’t even wilted yet when he left this morning. Was the Alpha turning his home into a flower shop?

The pink roses were carefully arranged beside the sofa. Si An sat down in his office chair and opened the jewelry box.

Long Xiao had mentioned they were sapphire cufflinks, so Si An was prepared.

Still, the sight of two enormous, pigeon-egg-sized blue sapphires was breathtaking.

Roughly estimating, each stone weighed around ten carats. The gems were pure, flawless, and their color strikingly resembled Si An’s own eyes.

The Omega gazed at them for a moment, then silently closed the box, with no intention of wearing them.

Si An frowned almost imperceptibly. The cufflinks were so large and heavy that they felt cumbersome even when worn on his sleeves.

Just as Si An was about to start working, his phone lit up again.

He picked it up and saw Long Xiao’s name prominently displayed

Long Xiao You still haven’t told me what kind of flowers you like.

Long Xiao Good morning. I hope you’ll like today’s gift.

Si An’s expression remained unchanged as his slender, bony fingers tapped out a reply

Si An Stop sending flowers. They take up too much space.

Si An I don’t like them. They’re too heavy, and I won’t wear them.

Si An Good morning.

Almost immediately after Si An sent his message, Long Xiao replied

Long Xiao Then how about a bouquet every three days?

Long Xiao I don’t want you to see withered flowers.

Long Xiao Are they really that heavy? I didn’t notice. I’ll be more careful next time.

After reading Long Xiao’s messages, Si An didn’t reply. He casually tossed his phone aside and began his day’s work.

At Long Xiao’s home, Long Xiao stood shirtless, his sculpted upper body muscles clearly defined yet not exaggerated. He held his phone in one hand and a toothbrush in the other.

Seeing that Si An hadn’t replied, Long Xiao tucked his phone into his pocket. He understood this silence as tacit consent. Si An was easy to read if he didn’t explicitly refuse, it meant he accepted. Si An would never compromise his own comfort, rejecting anything that displeased him even slightly. This meant Long Xiao never had to worry about Si An enduring something he disliked.

Having such a straightforward partner brought him a sense of security. At least Long Xiao never had to fear accidentally offending Si An.

Yesterday, he had asked Special Assistant Chen to arrange a cooking class. To be honest, Long Xiao wasn’t particularly confident about it. During his childhood on Dragon Island, the Ancestors had tried to teach him to cook, but no matter how many times he tried, the results were never particularly delicious…

How to put it? He seemed to lack any natural talent in that area. The flavors he produced were bland and uninspired. But since Si An had requested it, Long Xiao had no choice but to dutifully attend.

After finishing his morning routine, Long Xiao found himself longing to see Si An. He pulled out his phone again, lowered his gaze, and sent a three-word message

Long Xiao I miss you.

After sending the text, Long Xiao sighed softly. It wasn’t ideal for his beloved to be so busy.

Once Si An started working, he rarely checked his phone.

He placed it face down on the desk, the screen hidden.

Moments later, a soft knock came at the office door. Assistant Su approached, holding a small USB drive.

Her eyes lowered, she felt a mix of curiosity and apprehension, unwilling to meet the gaze of her demon-king boss.

President Si, the surveillance footage from the restaurant entrance has been copied.

Si An briefly glanced up from his computer screen and nodded.

Put it on the desk.

Assistant Su gently placed the metallic USB drive on the desk, turned, and quietly withdrew from the office.

Si An picked up the drive, plugged it into his computer without hesitation, and opened the video file.

He knew this might seem like an overreaction.

But that was simply his nature—he refused to tolerate even the slightest deviation from his expectations.

The video began playing quickly. Perhaps due to the company’s strong revenue, the surveillance footage was surprisingly high-resolution.

At least Long Xiao’s figure was clearly visible in the frame.

Si An watched Long Xiao staring intently at his retreating back for an extended moment, his eyes flickering slightly.

He hadn’t realized that after he drove away, the Alpha would continue watching him for so long.

Soon, Long Xiao withdrew his gaze, and a familiar figure appeared on the screen, gripping a frail Omega.

Si An hadn’t bothered to investigate Wen He’s one-night stand. He cared little about the details, since the consequences of Wen He’s betrayal were already glaringly obvious. He didn’t love Wen He anyway, so there was no point in dwelling on who his former fiancé had slept with after their engagement was broken off.

Thus, this was Si An’s first time seeing Ye Shu.

Si An’s gaze sharpened. At first glance, Ye Shu was surprisingly ordinary—just another Omega, the kind you could find a dozen of on any street corner. As for Wen He, Si An barely spared him a glance.

But the next moment, when Ye Shu lifted his head and glanced nervously at Long Xiao, Si An froze, raising his hand to pause the video.

The Omega’s red-rimmed eyes, delicate features, short, dark hair, and frail frame undeniably evoked a protective instinct.

Gradually, Si An remembered if he wasn’t mistaken, this was Ye Shu, the scholarship student who had been in the same class as him and Wen He in high school. In his memory, Ye Shu had been a quiet classmate with thick bangs and glasses, hardly making an impression.

He never would have imagined that with a haircut and a little grooming, Ye Shu could actually be considered quite handsome.

Si An watched the screen as Long Xiao and Ye Shu locked eyes. His chest rose and fell slightly before he pressed play again.

The rest was simple. Wen He spoke a few words, then abruptly stopped.

Ye Shu looked up as if to thank him, but Long Xiao had already gotten into his car.

Unfortunately, because Wen He’s back was to the camera and his voice was too soft, Si An couldn’t make out the conversation.

But the moment Long Xiao smiled, Si An replayed it three times.

Finally, the Omega closed the video with a dark expression, tapping his fingers on the table, his mood souring.

Si An pursed his lips and reached for his phone.

But before his fingers could move, the screen unlocked, and a barrage of text messages from a certain someone flooded in like mushrooms after rain.

As the notifications popped up one after another, Si An’s furrowed brow gradually relaxed.

Long Xiao I want to see you.

Long Xiao I’m heading out.

Long Xiao I’m here, class is starting.

Long Xiao …Learning to fry an egg.

Long Xiao Not too hard, but it doesn’t taste very good.

Long Xiao I miss you. Can we have dinner together tonight?
