My Jealous and Beautiful Villainous Wife (ABO) - Chapter 24
Host, did you know your mother recently got a new puppy?
Long Xiao nodded, his expression unchanged. His mother loved keeping small animals and was excellent at caring for them.
The area around his family’s home on Dragon Island resembled a miniature zoo, a sight he had long grown accustomed to.
As for the new puppy, he hadn’t known about it until just now.
Here’s what happened the puppy ate sh1t and then vomited on the Protagonist Gong’s foot.
Long Xiao ……?
Long Xiao frowned, the corner of his mouth twitching silently.
Then, the Protagonist Gong got angry, and the puppy, terrified, peed on his pant leg.
The puppy peed in fear, your mother felt sorry for it, the Protagonist Gong tried to argue, and your father punched him.
Long Xiao ……
Three simple sentences, yet they contained such an overwhelming amount of information.
After hearing the whole story, Long Xiao found himself speechless.
There were simply too many absurd details to even begin criticizing.
Finally, Long Xiao pressed down on the corner of his mouth, remained silent for a few seconds, and then asked,
So, what about the Protagonist Gong now?
Ding, Host, your father’s strength is too great. One slap sent the Protagonist Gong flying, and he’s now in the ICU. Your family will have to pay compensation.
Long Xiao listened and nodded silently.
Paying compensation was only natural. The Dragon Clan were law-abiding citizens, and if they injured someone, they would naturally pay for it.
As for his father’s great strength, that was normal too. All members of the Dragon Clan possessed immense strength. But the ICU…
Long Xiao blinked. Well, that was fine too.
At least for the time being, he wouldn’t have to see that Wen He kid pestering his beloved Omega.
Finally, the Alpha’s brow relaxed, and his phone lit up again.
Long Xiao’s eyes brightened as he opened the message, only to find it was from Special Assistant Chen.
Special Assistant Chen President Long, you have a cooking class later. Please don’t forget.
After reading the message, Long Xiao’s eyes darkened again. He turned off the screen and pocketed his phone.
Tomorrow was the day he had promised Si An he would make breakfast—a Sunday, when Si An would be off work.
It was indeed time to leave. He still needed to attend his cooking class properly.
Pushing open the classroom door, Long Xiao was surprised to find not the familiar male Beta teacher from last time, but a slightly gaunt figure standing with his back to him.
Long Xiao’s expression remained unchanged as he silently studied the figure for a few seconds, finding something vaguely familiar about him.
As if sensing his presence, the figure turned around, his gaze meeting the Alpha’s.
The Alpha’s silver hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, the smooth strands cascading down his back, lending him a sharp, spirited air.
He wore a sleek, minimalist black short trench coat over wide-legged cargo pants—a youthful ensemble that made him seem more approachable than the aloof, unattainable figure Long Xiao had presented on their previous encounters.
At that moment, the Alpha was staring intently at him.
For some reason, Ye Shu’s face flushed crimson.
He inwardly wondered why his heart was racing despite his feelings for Wen He. Perhaps it was only natural to feel nervous in the presence of such an Alpha.
Meanwhile, Long Xiao had finally recognized the newcomer’s face.
Long Xiao frowned slightly, puzzled by the protagonist shou’s presence here. His deep voice betrayed no emotion as he asked, Where is the original cooking instructor?
Hearing Long Xiao’s question, Ye Shu quickly explained, M-Mr. Long, the original instructor is ill, so the teaching assistant arranged for me to teach your class.
But don’t worry, Mr. Long, I’m certified too. I can teach you just fine.
As he spoke, Ye Shu, as if afraid Long Xiao might doubt his abilities, hastily grabbed the certificate he had prepared and held it out for Long Xiao to see.
But after taking only two steps toward Long Xiao, the alpha retreated two steps.
Ye Shu froze, a hint of confusion crossing his face. Even the hand holding the certificate lowered slightly.
Originally, Ye Shu hadn’t known who Long Xiao was. He was simply grateful for the alpha’s indirect help last time. As for this substitute teaching job, it was just another ordinary part-time gig.
Driven by poverty, he took any work he could find. Ye Shu never imagined his luck would be this good.
Ye Shu was only substituting, but the student he was teaching turned out to be the Alpha he had helped before.
It was through this encounter that Ye Shu learned the Alpha’s surname was Long, though he knew nothing else about him.
Long Xiao gazed at the gaunt Omega before him, a slight headache forming.
Without time for explanations, he simply stated flatly, I want to change instructors.
As Long Xiao’s words hung in the air, Ye Shu stood frozen for a moment before his eyes began to redden.
He didn’t understand why, but being rejected by someone he had once helped stung deeply.
If a stranger had made such a request, Ye Shu wouldn’t have felt anything.
Ye Shu lowered his head, forcing a weak smile. His voice, now noticeably subdued, dropped as the hand holding his certificate fell limply to his side.
Very well, Mr. Long. Please wait a moment.
With that, Ye Shu turned away, retrieved his phone from his bag, and sent a message to the administrator.
Long Xiao stood by the door, watching Ye Shu’s slender back. Before his sympathy could stir, his phone rang.
Long Xiao lowered his head, pulled out his phone, and saw the name Wife glaring from the caller ID.
In that instant, even though Long Xiao felt he hadn’t done anything wrong, he inexplicably felt a pang of guilt.
He lowered his gaze slightly, raised the phone to his ear, and said, Hello? Si An.
Ye Shu’s back stiffened. A chill seemed to creep up from the soles of his feet. So, that’s the reason…
Si An’s voice, transmitted through the phone, sounded even more magnetic than usual. Long Xiao, what are you doing?
The question was abrupt and somewhat impolite, but entirely in character for Si An.
Because it was Si An, Long Xiao didn’t find the question strange at all. Instead, he answered honestly, I’m about to go to cooking class.
Cooking class?
What gender is the teacher?
Another sharp, sudden question.
At that moment, Long Xiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He felt gratified that Si An was finally showing interest in his activities and asking questions.
The timing couldn’t have been more unfortunate.
Long Xiao remained silent for only a second before Si An’s clear, crisp voice pressed on from the other end of the line
Long Xiao, you’re not letting an Omega teach your class, are you?
Long Xiao lowered his gaze and swallowed hard. No, Si An.
But before he could finish, Ye Shu, his bag slung over his shoulder, was already heading for the door.
As Ye Shu passed Long Xiao, he lowered his eyes and spoke in a barely audible whisper
Mr. Long, goodbye. The other teachers will be here shortly.
With that, he pushed open the door and left.
Yet even this deliberately hushed tone carried clearly to Si An’s ears through the phone.
Silence. A brief but deadly silence.
Long Xiao closed his eyes briefly, his handsome features etched with resignation. He spoke
Si An, I’ll start a video call. You can watch me teach the class.
Long Xiao, you’d better have a satisfactory explanation for this.
