My Jealous and Beautiful Villainous Wife (ABO) - Chapter 37

Watching Si An’s retreating figure, Long Xiao didn’t pursue him. He merely frowned and chuckled helplessly.

He was utterly powerless against him.

Only after Si An’s silhouette had completely vanished did Long Xiao crouch down to retrieve the tie clip and mithril rose the Omega had discarded.

The rose was crafted from his shed scales, its surface shimmering with an ethereal glow. To an Alpha’s eyes, it was breathtakingly beautiful, yet it had been rejected.

Still, Long Xiao reasoned, Si An had been angry at the time. Had he not been upset, would he have accepted it?

Long Xiao pondered, gazing at the rose in his hand.

As for the yellow diamond tie clip, which had been violently thrown to the ground, Long Xiao examined it closely. It remained undamaged.

This was the clearest, most exquisitely cut yellow diamond of its size in his entire collection.

Judging by the Omega’s immediate removal of it, Si An clearly didn’t care for it.

Yet even if he disliked it, he had still worn it.

Long Xiao silently placed the tie clip and rose into his space ring, rose to his feet, and left the reception room.

In a few days, his Heat would begin. He needed to appease his beloved Omega before then.

The thought of being separated for seven days already made Long Xiao miss Si An.

The Alpha strode out of the Si Corporation building, not lingering. Si An needed to work, and Long Xiao respected the Omega’s wishes.

His presence would only distract Si An, rather than offer any assistance.

Si An returned to his office. Though Long Xiao’s explanation had sounded absurd, he had actually taken it to heart.

As a person in power, caution was essential.

Moreover, regardless of the accuracy of the Dragon Clan’s so-called sixth sense, after what had just happened, the employee named Su Min was destined to be fired.

No real reason, purely Si An’s petty vindictiveness.

Injustice? What did fairness matter to him? As a businessman and a man of power, he would only sneer contemptuously at such notions.

Even though the company group chat dared not openly gossip about Long Xiao’s pursuit of him, how could anyone remain unaware when the Alpha frequently paraded into the office with nine hundred and ninety roses?

Besides, ordinary employees would never have the opportunity to enter places like the guest reception room.

At this thought, Si An’s fingers, which were holding a cigarette, paused. He extinguished the thin mint cigarette and sent a message to Assistant Su.

He didn’t have to wait long. The efficient Assistant Su quickly replied.

Assistant Su President Si, this employee’s uncle serves as the General Manager of the first branch of our sales department.

Upon reading Assistant Su’s message, Si An’s eyes immediately darkened.

Anger surged through him, but he also felt a strange sense of unease.

Were the Dragon Clan truly so favored by the heavens?

Si An frowned and typed out a message

Si An Tell him and his uncle to pack their things and get out.

Assistant Su Understood, President Si.

Assistant Su, ever the professional, didn’t ask any further questions and immediately issued termination notices to both men.

With that matter resolved, Si An swiveled his office chair halfway around to face the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the azure sky outside.

A coincidence…?

The Omega’s murmur was soft, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

Ding-dong.

Si An didn’t need to look to know it was a message from Long Xiao.

Even now, recalling the scene he had witnessed earlier stirred up displeasure, even anger, in his heart.

The Omega frowned, the Alpha’s apologetic voice echoing in his ears.

Torn between these conflicting emotions, Si An finally tapped his knuckles, swiveled back to his desk, and gripped the mouse to resume working.

As for the phone whose screen had lit up, abandoned by its owner, it didn’t stay illuminated for long before dimming again.

Wasn’t emotional turmoil itself a form of caring? Si An understood this all too well, which only deepened his annoyance.

Why had he just happened to fall asleep? And why had he been so careless as to let the other man get so close?

If he hadn’t arrived, what might have happened beyond just covering him with a blanket?

Si An’s fingers curled slightly as he lit a cigarette he hadn’t smoked in ages. Though he didn’t finish it, the bitter mint taste lingered beneath his tongue.

Ding-dong.

Ding-dong.

Ding-dong.

His phone’s battery couldn’t hold out much longer, and the screen soon went dark.

But the person on the other end was persistent.

Si An felt a flicker of annoyance. His ice-blue eyes turned cold as he glanced disdainfully at the incessantly buzzing phone.

Finally, he picked it up and checked the messages.

Long Xiao I know I messed up, Si An.

Long Xiao My Heat starts in a week. Please forgive me before then? I can’t focus otherwise.

Long Xiao Don’t throw away my gifts next time. It hurts me.

Long Xiao And he really isn’t anything like you. You’re the only one in my heart.

So cheesy, yet so straightforward.

The saccharine words made Si An feel both nauseated and irritated.

He frowned uncomfortably and tossed the phone back onto the table.

He couldn’t quite picture the Alpha typing these messages. How could such a cold, aloof face express love?

Speaking of that yellow gemstone tie clip, Si An recalled the force with which he’d thrown it earlier. He pursed his lips and lowered his gaze.

It’s all Long Xiao’s fault.

That reckless, womanizing Alpha.

Si An’s expression darkened as he activated his phone’s Do Not Disturb mode.

This was the first time he had done something like this during work hours. It wasn’t very professional, but given his position, he could essentially do as he pleased.

Just this once, Si Anxin thought, turning back to his computer screen and immersing himself in his work.

Heat in a week?

Heh, perfect. Seven days of peace and quiet.

After so many times, Long Xiao had gradually grown accustomed to Si An’s lack of replies.

The Alpha silently tucked his phone back into his pocket. Sending too many messages would only annoy Si An.

Ding! Host, you’re amazing! You effortlessly helped the Villain eliminate the company traitor!

Despite its emotionless, mechanical tone, the System still tried to sound obsequious.

Long Xiao, feeling uncomfortable, turned up the car’s music volume.

Ding! Host, can you please stop showing such obvious disdain for me?

I’m your System, okay?

Long Xiao raised an eyebrow and cranked the volume even higher.

Perhaps because the main storyline was progressing, the little idiot seemed to have grown slightly smarter during its absence.

If it hadn’t reappeared, Long Xiao would have almost forgotten about it.

Okay, okay, Host! You’re currently worried about how to appease the Villain, right?

I have a list of the Villain’s preferences here. If you give him something from it, he’ll definitely like it!

Long Xiao’s hand, gripping the steering wheel, paused slightly. To be honest, this time the idiot System’s suggestion actually held some appeal.

Every gift he had given Si An so far seemed to fall flat, and when asked what Si An liked, he never gave a specific answer.

But after a moment’s thought, Long Xiao ultimately rejected the System’s offer.

No thanks. Love can’t be cheated.
