My Jealous and Beautiful Villainous Wife (ABO) - Chapter 46
As usual, Long Xiao brought roses and a gift to pick up Si An for dinner that evening. This had become their daily routine.
For the past two days, Si An hadn’t driven himself at all. Long Xiao would drive him to work in the morning and then drive back home. In the evening, Long Xiao would pick him up, take him to dinner, and then drive him home.
The Omega didn’t dislike driving, but he was happy to let the Alpha handle it and enjoy the convenience. So he let Long Xiao have his way.
Si An rarely used drivers. He was fiercely protective of his personal space and felt uncomfortable around anyone he hadn’t accepted into his inner circle. Though the discomfort was mild and easily overcome, Si An saw no reason to endure it.
Long Xiao had prepared blankets and cushions for the passenger seats of all his cars. In a few days, he would replace the seat covers with cashmere ones, which were currently being custom-made.
He couldn’t help it. Whether it was due to pheromones or something else, Si An always seemed sleepy as soon as he got into the car. Perhaps after being exposed to Long Xiao’s pheromones so often while falling asleep, Si An now subconsciously associated the scent with drowsiness whenever he felt tired.
Frustrated by this, Long Xiao even tried switching perfumes, only to give up when the Omega complained.
Long Xiao sat on the sofa on the first floor, the gifts and flowers still in the car. Si An spotted him the moment he came downstairs.
After all, an Alpha’s presence was inherently striking, especially when he had dressed so impeccably for the occasion.
He wore a custom-tailored black overcoat and suit pants, paired with a sophisticated brown plaid scarf. His leather shoes gleamed, and even his ankles exuded a subtle allure.
His hair had been carefully styled, and silver-rimmed glasses framed his face. Simply standing there, he was a sight to behold.
Si An’s initial displeasure began to dissipate slightly upon seeing Long Xiao’s meticulous appearance.
But before Si An could approach, the gazes of the employees passing by, directed at the Alpha, reignited his irritation.
By the time the Omega finally reached Long Xiao, his expression had darkened considerably.
Long Xiao had prepared a light, all-natural milk tea, but now it seemed unlikely to be needed.
The Alpha rose to his feet, calmly observing Si An’s displeasure. He took a few steps forward, positioning himself beside the Omega.
Si An didn’t pause, as if he knew Long Xiao would instinctively follow. He strode purposefully toward the exit, quickly getting into the car.
Only after Long Xiao had boarded the car and it began to move did Si An’s indifferent voice quietly drift over
You didn’t need to dress up like this.
Long Xiao paused, turning his head to glance at Si An. He asked in a low voice, You don’t like it?
But you clearly liked it when I wore glasses last time.
His deep, melodious voice carried a hint of genuine confusion, though the words sounded flirtatious.
The Omega’s chest rose and fell sharply. His ears tingled, and he cursed inwardly, but he maintained his composure.
He turned his head, his icy blue eyes scrutinizing the Alpha’s face with meticulous scrutiny
The hair swept back to reveal his forehead, the dark, ink-like brows, the sharp, prominent brow bones, the deep, captivating eyes, the straight, well-defined nose, and the perfectly balanced lips—neither too thin nor too full.
Si An studied him for several seconds, and Long Xiao waited patiently, his gaze softening further.
Though deeply annoyed, the Omega couldn’t find a single flaw.
He silently averted his gaze, his cold voice cutting through the air without mercy
Average.
Long Xiao raised an eyebrow, amused by his sulking beloved. He had clearly seen the admiration in the Omega’s eyes.
Next time, I’ll wait for you in the parking lot.
This time, Si An didn’t say anything, as if tacitly agreeing.
Seeing the Omega’s reaction, Long Xiao let out a genuine laugh. The corners of his lips curved upward for a fleeting moment before he quickly suppressed the smile.
If the prideful and petty snake were to notice, neither of them would have a peaceful night.
However, this newly harmonious silence lasted only a brief while before Si An spoke again.
The Omega, who would normally have closed his eyes and nestled in the passenger seat for a nap by now, was watching the road ahead with half-lidded eyes.
Only his voice reached Long Xiao’s ears
Mr. Long, you’ve done another good deed today.
The words were delivered in a flat tone, devoid of any discernible emotion, yet Long Xiao felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
Before Long Xiao could respond, Si An continued,
Wen He is currently in a hospital in England. You didn’t know?
Long Xiao wasn’t surprised that Si An knew about today’s events. He wouldn’t have been surprised if the Omega had hired a private investigator to follow him daily.
Of course, things hadn’t reached that point yet—but they might in the future.
What surprised him was how quickly Si An had learned about it. It had only been three or four hours since it happened.
And amidst his demanding work schedule, Si An had still found time to concern himself with this matter.
Long Xiao’s voice softened as he responded to Si An’s words,
I know. Wen He was hospitalized because of my father.
Si An, are you upset? You know what happened today wasn’t my intention.
The Omega didn’t even lift his gaze. Assistant Su had already briefed him on the incident. He had also long known the reason why Wen He had been beaten so badly by the Alpha’s father.
The aloof beauty let out a soft chuckle, as if offended by being underestimated.
Hah, I’m not upset over something like this.
Ye Shu had always been timid and withdrawn back in high school, and he hadn’t changed even after growing up. Si An disliked that.
Not because Ye Shu was poor or struggling, but because of his pathetic, unresisting cowardice. Looking at him felt like staring into the face of suffering.
Si An didn’t hate Ye Shu or resent his existence he had long forgotten about the man. It was only Ye Shu’s recent appearances in his and Long Xiao’s world that had drawn Si An’s attention.
Why didn’t you tell him Wen He’s whereabouts?
Long Xiao stared ahead, his expression indifferent and his voice cold.
Once there’s a first time, there will be a second and a third.
Helping him isn’t my obligation. I only care about you.
Strictly speaking, if it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have broken off your engagement with Wen He. For that, I’m grateful to him.
This was also why Long Xiao’s attitude toward Ye Shu had always been lukewarm.
After all, according to the original novel’s plot, Ye Shu was essentially Si An’s antagonist, though none of those events had yet transpired.
Hearing the Alpha’s answer, Si An felt a flicker of satisfaction.
The ice in the beauty’s eyes melted away, and his striking features softened. Leaning back in his chair, he draped a blanket over himself and lazily lowered his gaze.
I told you not to wear cologne.
…I showered before coming to see you. It must be the scent from my clothes.
Disgusting.
