My Jealous and Beautiful Villainous Wife (ABO) - Chapter 29
Meanwhile, Long Xiao, who was on everyone’s mind, remained completely unaware of the events that had unfolded in the past half-hour.
However, something had indeed happened to him—he had been rear-ended.
In other words, Long Xiao had been in a car accident.
Fortunately, the damage was minor. The Silver Dragon was incredibly sturdy, and though the car was crumpled, Long Xiao remained unharmed. Only his clothes had been torn.
The tattered sleeves gave his suit a kind of reckless, artistic flair.
Long Xiao was completely dazed. He blinked repeatedly, struggling to climb out of the car.
The force of the impact had warped the door, so he had to pry it open with considerable effort before finally emerging.
A crowd had already gathered around the scene, and someone was on the phone, their expression anxious.
However, when they saw Long Xiao emerge completely unscathed, their expression visibly froze for a moment before their speech slowed.
…Wait, he seems fine.
Uh, not the car—the person is fine.
Even in a battle-worn suit, the tall, handsome Alpha exuded an overwhelming aura of power.
Those luxurious golden eyes turned his way, instantly quashing any urge to argue with him.
The driver of the car behind, who had been about to give Long Xiao a piece of his mind, abruptly stopped in his tracks, his expression shifting into a forced smile.
Long Xiao frowned, utterly baffled by his string of bad luck today. He desperately wanted to transform into his dragon form and roar in frustration.
Without his phone and now in a car accident, the only number he could remember was Si An’s.
At that moment, Long Xiao truly wished he had memorized Special Assistant Chen’s number.
The other driver was a middle-aged Alpha with a protruding belly, a balding head, and squinting eyes. He forced himself to remain calm as he approached Long Xiao and said,
Young man, it was my fault. Let’s call the traffic police. Your car’s damages will be covered by insurance, and I’ll definitely compensate you.
Long Xiao, his mind clouded with irritation, paid little attention to the talk of compensation.
He merely nodded curtly and said in a low voice, We’ll discuss it after the traffic police arrive.
With that, he strode purposefully toward the kindly middle-aged man who had just lowered his phone from his ear.
The enthusiastic middle-aged man was balding and stocky, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, looking like the kind-hearted passerby who often appears in TV dramas.
As Long Xiao approached him, the man felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. He quickly glanced around, only to realize he was indeed the only person standing there, blocking no one’s way.
Realizing this, the man swallowed hard and addressed the approaching Long Xiao, Young man, what’s the matter?
Long Xiao forced a smile, but it was terrifyingly unnatural, like the displeased expression of a mafia boss. May I borrow your phone?
The man stared at Long Xiao, his hands trembling. Though he was a Beta, he instinctively knew Long Xiao was a powerful Alpha.
Hearing Long Xiao’s words clearly, he didn’t dare meet his eyes, quickly averting his gaze as he shakily handed over his phone.
Long Xiao offered a sincere thank you. Thank you, sir. Good deeds will be rewarded.
But the words only sounded more like a threat than gratitude.
The middle-aged man forced a smile, turned shakily to the side, and grabbed the roadside utility pole to steady his trembling legs.
It’s over. I’m done for. I should have listened to my wife.
I shouldn’t have meddled in this. Usually, interfering just costs me some money.
But judging by this young man’s demeanor, I don’t think I’ll live much longer…
The man swallowed hard, silently praying, Please don’t let my family be harmed!
Long Xiao, meanwhile, ignored the well-meaning man. He picked up his phone and expertly dialed a number.
Beep, beep.
The call rang twice before being disconnected.
Long Xiao felt awkward. Of course Si An wouldn’t answer a call from a stranger.
But just as he was about to hang up and return the phone, it rang again.
Long Xiao’s darkened eyes lit up, and he answered immediately.
The other end remained silent. Long Xiao tentatively said, Hello?
Only then did he realize his voice was hoarse, likely from the tension in his throat.
…
Si An remained silent, his breathing the only sound on the line.
On Long Xiao’s end, the line was noisy, with the constant rush of traffic, the wind, and the chatter of nearby people.
Si An gripped his phone, frowning, his heart burning with anxiety and anger.
Si An, I’ve been in a car accident.
The Alpha’s voice came through the phone, slightly distorted.
Si An’s breath hitched involuntarily, his fingers stiffening.
But Long Xiao hadn’t finished speaking.
Could you come pick me up? My phone’s broken, and I only remember your number.
Long Xiao’s voice was low and still pleasant, but there was an awkwardness in his tone, as if he felt he was troubling Si An or had done something wrong.
Si An grabbed his jacket from the bed and rushed out of the room, the call still connected.
Where are you now? Are you injured?
The usually calm and composed voice now carried a slight tremor, barely noticeable, but Long Xiao could hear it.
In that instant, the awkwardness and tension in Long Xiao’s heart vanished.
He chuckled softly.
I’m not injured. I’m at xxxxxx…
The call disconnected. Long Xiao’s expression had completely transformed, now radiant and sunny, like that of a perfect gentleman.
The kind-hearted uncle eyed Long Xiao suspiciously, his hands still trembling slightly as he accepted the Alpha’s phone.
Thank you.
N-no problem at all! No need to thank me.
