My Jealous and Beautiful Villainous Wife (ABO) - Chapter 36

Si An’s chest heaved violently twice before his master quickly suppressed the reaction.

The Omega didn’t lose his composure. He regained his rational, self-controlled demeanor, appearing terrifyingly calm.

Yet his jaw muscles remained tense, his gaze fixed intently on Long Xiao.

I will decide my own marriage.

If you’re unhappy about this, you should have told me directly. I’ll handle my parents.

Besides, even if many others pursue me, why can’t you be the victor? Can’t you win?

As Si An spoke, he stepped forward, closing the distance between them to barely a fist’s width. In a more intimate description, one could almost feel the other’s breath.

But alas, at this moment, there was not a trace of romance between the two adversaries. Even the air felt cold and tense.

Si An’s response was icy, both heartless and provocative.

Long Xiao’s eyes darkened as he studied Si An, meticulously recording every nuance of the Omega’s expression.

Seeing Long Xiao remain silent, Si An lowered his gaze and grabbed Long Xiao’s collar. Staring intently, he spoke in a low, hissing voice, like a striking snake

And didn’t I tell you to only look at me, to have only me in your heart?

Long Xiao, did you keep your promise? You said all the right things, but the moment you met an Omega, you had to ask for his name. He looks a lot like me—is that your type?

As Si An spoke, his gaze swept over the dark circles beneath Long Xiao’s eyes. He chuckled and added, Didn’t sleep well last night? It’s nice to have someone who cares. Even when you’re asleep, they’ll tuck a blanket over you.

Long Xiao’s eyelashes trembled slightly, his breathing slowing as if he were suppressing something.

His golden eyes locked onto Si An’s, and he reached out to grasp the hand gripping his collar, only to have it slapped away.

Snap!

The sharp sound echoed. Long Xiao’s hand remained unscathed, while Si An’s palm reddened.

But Si An paid no attention to the sting. He withdrew his hand, and when Long Xiao remained silent, he cast a final, disappointed glance at the Alpha before turning to leave.

Get out of here, Long Xiao. I never want to see you again.

Oh, right, there’s this too.

As if suddenly remembering something, Si An reached up and tore off the tie clip at his collar, tossing it carelessly to the ground.

The golden tie clip clattered against the marble floor, its metallic rings echoing before it vanished beneath the table leg.

Long Xiao remained rooted to the spot, his vertical pupils locked onto Si An’s retreating figure. In the next instant, the Omega’s body froze, the aura of a top-tier predator surging from his back.

As a King Cobra, Si An instinctively broke out in goosebumps, his body trembling with primal competitive instincts.

Si An frowned fiercely, turning to glare at Long Xiao, his eyes wary of the Alpha’s movements.

Seeing Si An turn, Long Xiao’s lips curved into a faint smile. He took two measured steps forward, his posture radiating composure as his long legs instantly closed the distance the Omega had just created.

He lowered his gaze to Si An, his golden eyes reflecting the Omega’s image, and murmured softly, Si An, you carry my scent.

It was his pheromone, faint but unmistakable to its original owner.

I’m pleased, Long Xiao continued, his voice low and intimate. I want to kiss you.

As the words left his lips, a sharp gust of wind swept through the air.

It was Si An’s palm, which Long Xiao caught gently, as if afraid of hurting him, even the grip around his wrist restrained.

Long Xiao frowned slightly, meeting Si An’s cold gaze. He said, Don’t be angry, Si An. Please hear my explanation.

I’m begging you.

The Alpha looked at the Omega, his lowered lashes obscuring his eyes. The coldness in his expression melted away, replaced by warmth in his golden eyes.

He was strikingly handsome, dignified, and disarmingly tender—yet also infuriatingly deserving of a punch.

His golden vertical pupils fixed steadily on Si An, showing no hint of evasion or guilt, as if he were genuinely sincere.

Si An clicked his tongue softly and withdrew his hand from Long Xiao’s grasp. Lowering his head, he carefully wiped his hand with a handkerchief.

Shameless bastard.

Long Xiao remained unfazed by the insult. Watching Si An wipe his hand, he felt not hurt, but rather aroused.

The pale wrist, barely visible beneath the suit cuff, looked delicate yet strong. Long Xiao could feel the muscles in Si An’s forearm flexing as he moved his wrist.

He could have taken that slap on the face without flinching, but the Silver Dragon hide was too tough the Omega would have been the one who ended up hurting himself.

Once Si An finished wiping his hand, Long Xiao lowered his voice and explained softly, I flew back last night. I was planning to tell you in person about your parents trying to arrange a marriage for you.

But there’s no rush about that. I’ve already signed up, and my chances of being selected are pretty good. I just missed you.

I fell asleep while waiting for you earlier. I don’t even know that Omega.

Besides, he’s nothing like you. How could he possibly look like you?

As he spoke, a flicker of genuine confusion crossed the Alpha’s eyes as he gazed at his radiant, beloved Si An.

That Omega was so thin and frail. How could he resemble his beautiful, healthy, and strong serpent-wife?

Long Xiao was utterly baffled. Seeing Si An’s silence, he continued,

I only glanced at him a few times because he didn’t seem like a good person.

Our Dragon Clan’s sixth sense is very sharp. I asked for his name. Either keep an eye on him or fire him.

As he finished, Long Xiao’s smile faded, and he looked at Si An with earnest intensity.

Si An listened to Long Xiao’s explanation, finding it utterly absurd. His anger subsided slightly, but only slightly.

He stared at Long Xiao, a sardonic twist to his lips, and said coldly,

Long Xiao, this flimsy excuse isn’t enough to make me forgive you.

Si An lifted his gaze, looking at Long Xiao with a cool, clear voice that now sounded like sharp ice, like a demanding lover who was never quite satisfied.

Long Xiao studied Si An’s expression, feeling both fondness and a slight headache. Softening his tone, he asked sincerely, Then how should I apologize and win your favor?

I barely glanced at him earlier. My heart has always been with you. Your accusation is nothing short of slander.

The Alpha’s face remained impassive as he complained with a hint of aggrievedness, but his deep, magnetic voice and deliberate slowness made it sound more like playful banter.

His long lashes partially veiled his gaze, giving him an innocent look as he stared at you, his dark eyes deliberately widened slightly. He didn’t resemble a puppy, but he was undeniably endearing.

Powerful yet willing to humble himself, he held a lofty position but devoted his heart solely to you.

Si An averted his eyes, his fingertips twitching slightly. Miraculously, the anger in his heart eased a little.

But the Omega chose not to respond to Long Xiao’s accusation. Instead, he stepped around the towering Alpha and continued walking forward.

Then you’ll have to figure it out yourself, he said, his voice fading into the air.
