My Jealous and Beautiful Villainous Wife (ABO) - Chapter 38
Host, you’re quite the romantic. Very well, I wish you success in your pursuit of love.
The mechanical voice in Long Xiao’s mind responded after a long pause, as if surprised by his rejection.
However, deep within the System’s chip, where Long Xiao couldn’t detect it, the mysterious voice from before resurfaced.
Beep… Host has passed Verification Procedure 2. Awaiting Procedure 3.
Even if Long Xiao had heard this, he would likely have dismissed it with a scornful laugh, paying it no heed.
This trivial test? You call this a trial?
You underestimate me.
Long Xiao returned home and, with a heavy heart, searched on his phone How to appease an angry wife?
After over an hour of intense online research, he discovered that the ultimate, universally applicable answer was Give her money.
This solution would have been perfect, except Si An already had plenty of money.
Helpless, Long Xiao slumped onto the sofa, his handsome face remaining calm and expressionless, as if nothing could ever surprise or dismay him.
But upon closer inspection, his eyes had lost their usual focus.
Long Xiao’s gaze drifted aimlessly, staring into the empty air before him, a bitter feeling rising in his chest.
This sense of powerlessness silently overwhelmed him. It wasn’t until more than ten minutes later that he finally closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
If they were married, he could proactively offer to take over financial control, which Si An would likely welcome.
But right now, giving Si An money might be seen as a provocation.
Alpha’s lips twitched into a self-deprecating smile, but his golden eyes were filled with unconscious tenderness.
It was fortunate that no outsiders had witnessed Long Xiao in this state otherwise, his image as a cold and aloof CEO would have instantly crumbled.
In the end, Long Xiao only ordered a large quantity of crafting materials on his phone.
In a way, Si An was quite predictable. All he wanted was Long Xiao’s complete and genuine sincerity.
Dominant and possessive, yet so adorable that Long Xiao wanted to devour him whole.
Usually rational, Si An became utterly unreasonable when it came to matters of the heart. Give him your entire heart, or he’d quietly discard you.
The Omega had his own scoring system, and so far, Long Xiao hadn’t seen any options for earning points. He suspected there probably weren’t any.
Earning points with Si An? Just thinking about it seemed impossible…
Long Xiao silently raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, gritting his teeth as he continued scrolling through the forum.
Handmade wallets, model kits, decorative figurines, dolls—Long Xiao reviewed them all, but none seemed like something Si An would appreciate.
With Si An’s exacting tastes, finding a gift he would truly love was proving incredibly difficult.
Long Xiao lowered his gaze and silently turned off his phone screen.
After a moment of silence, as if suddenly struck by an idea, he reopened his phone and sent Si An a message
Long Xiao I can’t find a gift you’d like. I want to make it up to you, but I don’t know where to start.
Long Xiao Have you had dinner yet? Don’t be angry. Let’s eat together.
It was only a little after nine in the morning. How could Si An possibly have had dinner already?
Such questions carried their answers the moment they were asked.
Si An’s reply came swiftly
Si An Get lost.
Si An Yes, I’ve eaten. Come pick me up later.
Wow! Long Xiao stared at Si An’s reply, his recently shattered heart instantly revived.
As long as the Omega was willing to eat with him, everything would be alright.
The Alpha thought this, a hint of joy flickering in his eyes. Following advice he’d seen online, he transferred 200,000 to Si An.
Long Xiao Transfer of 200,000.00
Si An hesitated for two seconds before accepting the transfer.
Though he didn’t understand the Alpha’s intentions, he assumed it was an attempt to appease him.
This small sum was different from the previous contract he could accept it without qualms.
Meanwhile, Long Xiao’s eyes lit up when he saw Si An accept the payment. The internet hadn’t lied—it worked!
With renewed confidence, Long Xiao tentatively transferred another 200,000. This time, Si An accepted it too.
However, along with the acceptance, came a message
Si An …Are you sick in the head?
Long Xiao, scolded, rubbed his nose and abandoned the idea of further transfers.
Long Xiao I’ll pick you up on time.
Mom, Dad, are you trying to find me a live-in husband?
Si An had his phone on Do Not Disturb mode. If he hadn’t needed to call his parents, he wouldn’t have seen Long Xiao’s message.
Madam Si answered the call, with Sir Si beside her.
Hearing Si An’s question, Madam Si, accustomed to smoothing things over, immediately began explaining in a gentle, soothing voice
An’an, you know you have pheromone imbalance, right?
Dr. Wu told us last time that you need to find a compatible Alpha to help with your treatment.
Every time you have an episode, you suffer so much. Your parents can’t bear to see you in pain.
Don’t worry, we’ve only chosen tall, handsome Alphas. There’s one particularly outstanding one!
You met him at the banquet—that Dragon Clan Alpha who likes you. Remember him?
Is he courting you? The company people asked, but he wouldn’t say. Did you tell him to keep quiet, An’an?
Mom thinks his qualifications are excellent. Oh, and the lack of fur doesn’t matter—your father doesn’t have any either, does he?
Buy more clothes without buttons or zippers, dear! It’s perfect for nesting!
From the moment the call connected, Si An barely managed to utter a single sentence.
He let out a low, deep breath and said flatly, Mom, just stop trying to find me marriage partners. I know my situation better than anyone. Don’t worry about me.
With that, Si An hung up without waiting for a response.
Only Madam Si’s anxious voice remained on the other end, still asking urgently, Aiya, are you even seeing anyone?
Clutching the disconnected phone, Madam Si and Sir Si exchanged worried glances, their eyes filled with concern and anxiety.
Meanwhile, Si An set down the phone, pressed his lips into a thin line, and fell into a long silence.
Though Long Xiao had provided a sufficient amount of pheromone, it was only a temporary fix. He needed to be marked to truly resolve the issue.
Heat… Could he get a temporary mark?
After all, you always test the product before you buy it, right?
