My Jealous and Beautiful Villainous Wife (ABO) - Chapter 34

Long Xiao’s reply message was once again ignored by the Omega.

His declaration of love sank like a stone into the sea, receiving no response from Si An.

The Omega seemed to be silently saying, Words mean nothing. Prove it to me.

Long Xiao imagined this, a helpless expression crossing his brow. Yet he couldn’t help but feel utterly captivated, forcing himself to suppress the corners of his mouth from curling into a smile.

Across the table, Long Ba glanced at Long Xiao, his voice booming like a bell, What’s with that goofy grin, Xiao? You look like an idiot.

You can act like this at home, but don’t you dare do it outside. You’ll embarrass the Long clan.

Long Xiao’s lips twitched, and he silently composed himself, his deep eyes returning to their usual detached expression. He picked up a large chopstickful of braised pork and placed it in Long Ba’s bowl.

Just eat, Grandpa. I have things to do after your birthday.

As he spoke, Long Xiao glanced at his grandfather across the table—a handsome elder who was actually nearly a thousand years old. I came to keep you company, and I haven’t even seen my wife yet, and you’re still nagging me, he grumbled inwardly.

Long Ba and Long Xiao had a remarkably close relationship, more like two mischievous children than a grandfather and grandson.

Long Xiao had been raised by Long Ba and the other ancient ancestors since childhood. Rather than acting as elders, these old fellows were more like his friends.

Long Ba was a Time-Space Dragon, while Long Xiao’s grandmother was a dragon from millennia ago, so Long Xiao had never met her.

Every three months, Long Ba would periodically traverse time and space to visit his wife, staying for several years until she grew tired of him and he returned.

However, due to the different flow of time between dimensions, what felt like months on the other side would only be a few days in their realm.

Observing Long Xiao’s current expression, Long Ba nodded in satisfaction, chuckling heartily, Haha, that’s right! That’s the spirit!

That’s how you stay cool, kiddo. Remember, being cool is a lifelong commitment!

Back in my day, I snagged your grandma precisely because I was a cold, handsome hunk!

With that, Long Ba casually picked up a piece of braised pork from his bowl and devoured it in large bites.

Seeing his grandfather about to launch into another retelling of his legendary romance with Grandma, Long Xiao quickly buried his face in his bowl and began eating with gusto.

If you don’t eat now, the dogs will finish everything.

Besides, Grandpa had his own love story, but now I have my own to start.

Seeing Long Xiao devouring his meal, Long Ba chuckled merrily, snatching dishes from his grandson while teasing,

Hey, trying to steal food from your grandpa?

Sigh, your parents still haven’t said when they’ll be back, leaving this lonely old man all alone.

Let me tell you, when I first saw your grandma, she was absolutely stunning…

Long Xiao remained silent, burying his head in his food. Long Ba kept talking between bites, leaving Long Xiao no choice but to listen.

Eventually, Long Ba turned a curious gaze toward Long Xiao and asked tentatively,

Xiao, have you made up your mind? Is it definitely that Omega from the Si Family?

The Dragon Clan had both passionate romantics and true heartthrobs. By sheer coincidence, their family belonged to the latter category. For generations, their ancestors had fallen in love at first sight, and every couple had ultimately found their happily ever after.

After all, if those unions hadn’t succeeded, Long Xiao wouldn’t be here today.

Long Xiao looked up, silently swallowed his mouthful of rice, and nodded at Long Ba.

Mm, it’s him.

A lifetime is long, and making a decision now might seem hasty, but Long Xiao couldn’t deceive his own heart.

Long Ba nodded, not particularly surprised, but then seemed to remember something. Oh, Xiao, he said, did you know the Si Family is still looking for a marriage partner?

You know, Si An—the one you like? His parents seem quite anxious about it.

?

Long Xiao abruptly lifted his head from his rice bowl, his gaze piercing Long Ba like a sword.

What?

Long Xiao’s voice deepened as he set down his chopsticks.

Seeing Long Xiao’s reaction, Long Ba gave a mysterious smile but didn’t prolong the suspense. He pointed proudly at his phone and explained, Grandpa’s in the family marriage group—I joined it earlier in case you couldn’t find a wife.

Look, just last night, the Si Family was still talking about finding a son-in-law.

With a few taps on his phone, Long Ba handed it to Long Xiao.

Long Xiao took the phone and saw that it was indeed true.

The Si Family was a prominent clan, attracting many families eager to curry favor or even become affiliated with them.

Although the Si Family sought a live-in son-in-law, any son not destined to inherit his family’s business would consider marrying into the Si Family an extraordinary stroke of good fortune—a blessing from their ancestors’ graves.

Consequently, the response from various families in the group chat was enthusiastic, with numerous applicants eager to sign up.

Long Xiao’s expression darkened instantly. He wondered if Si An knew about this.

If Si An was aware, Long Xiao would be genuinely furious. Even if Si An didn’t know, his parents’ actions needed to be stopped.

He was just gaining momentum, and now Si An might already be preparing for marriage?

What was the point of even trying? This was unfair competition, and he protested.

Frowning, Long Xiao handed the phone back to his grandfather, Long Ba, and immediately reached for his own to message Si An.

Long Ba saw through his grandson’s intentions at once. Observing Long Xiao’s stormy expression, Long Ba chuckled mischievously, deciding he’d teased him enough. He grinned and said,

Alright, stop scowling.

Don’t bother messaging your Omega. Relax, Grandpa’s already signed you up too.

As Long Ba spoke, his grin widened triumphantly, radiating an almost childishly arrogant aura.

Though he had merely signed up his grandson to be a live-in son-in-law for another family, Long Ba acted as if he had achieved something truly remarkable.

Long Xiao was stunned. He looked up at his grandfather, genuinely admiring his wisdom in that moment.

As expected, someone who’s lived longer has more tricks up their sleeve, he thought.

Long Ba raised his eyebrows, stood up, and sat down beside Long Xiao. Leaning close, he began counting on his fingers, listing the reasons why the other candidates were unsuitable

The Bai Family’s second son is sickly and weak. The Liu Family’s eldest son is too flamboyant, lacking that Alpha presence. The Sun Family’s heir is too burly and simple-minded, not handsome enough…

Long Ba ticked off each family, flaunting his intelligence to Long Xiao.

Finally, he delivered his verdict, meeting Long Xiao’s gaze with unwavering confidence

Xiao Zai, don’t worry. You’ll be the crane among chickens in there. They can’t possibly compare to you!

Hearing these words, Long Xiao felt a little more at ease, letting out a partial sigh of relief. Yet lingering doubts remained.

Grandpa, what if I don’t get chosen? Besides, I want to win him over myself, through genuine romance.

Long Ba waved his hand dismissively. You focus on your romance, that’s fine. I’ll handle things my way.

Long Xiao’s furrowed brow relaxed slightly, though not completely.

The Alpha sat there, his expression dark, clutching his phone in silence.
