My Jealous and Beautiful Villainous Wife (ABO) - Chapter 47
The scent Si An had described as unpleasant was actually the most popular perfume among Omegas this year.
It smelled like the uprightness of bamboo, the vastness of mountains, and the groundedness of earth, perfectly embodying an Omega’s romantic fantasies about Alphas.
Of course, it was also extremely expensive, its brand identity centered on nobility and luxury.
Long Xiao had purchased this perfume after his first meeting with Si An and sprayed it in his closet.
Yet Si An’s verdict remained unpleasant.
Even though the Omega had smelled it several times before.
Gripping the steering wheel, Long Xiao’s fingers twitched slightly. He said nothing, merely responding calmly to the Omega’s words,
Alright, I’ll be more mindful next time.
From having his pheromones rejected and being forced to wear perfume, to now having the perfume rejected and being forbidden from wearing it.
This proud, contradictory Omega was so endearing it made Long Xiao’s heart ache.
My Heat is likely to start tomorrow or the day after, so I won’t come see you tomorrow.
Over the next two days, Long Xiao’s condition could change at any moment.
If, by some unfortunate coincidence, his Heat were to arrive while he was with Si An, it would be disastrous.
Si An understood this. He nodded lightly, offering no objection.
Mm.
After a moment’s hesitation, the Omega added coldly, Good luck.
The Alpha smiled, but his heart clenched tighter.
In previous years, without a beloved Omega, his Heat-induced frenzies had been confined to violently destroying his cell.
But now, with someone he cherished, he feared he might lose control and seek out Si An in his delirious state.
It seems the cell’s defenses need reinforcing, Long Xiao thought. Otherwise, it won’t hold me like before.
As these thoughts weighed on him, Long Xiao’s expression darkened, his already composed face turning even more frigid, giving him a distinctly displeased air.
Si An, having finally swallowed his pride to offer a kind word, turned to find Long Xiao’s grim expression. His brow furrowed instantly.
Long Xiao, what do you mean?
Why are you making such a face? Who are you trying to impress?
Long Xiao didn’t answer Si An’s questions, instead continuing to immerse himself in his own thoughts. He turned to Si An, his voice tinged with worry.
Why don’t you go on a business trip abroad soon?
Didn’t you mention wanting to see that art exhibition? Could you go earlier?
I’m afraid I’ll miss you too much and end up coming to find you.
You know I’m strong. They won’t be able to stop me.
As Long Xiao finished speaking, the curses Si An had been choking back caught in his throat. He deflated slightly, rolling his eyes weakly.
The Alpha’s non sequitur left the Omega bewildered, but upon closer consideration, he realized it might actually be possible.
Si An’s drowsiness faded. He straightened up a bit and glanced at Long Xiao’s profile.
The Alpha’s expression was now heavy, as if genuinely worried about something that hadn’t happened yet—and might never happen.
Seeing Long Xiao like this, the Omega suddenly felt like laughing. He replied casually,
Yes, I can leave for the business trip early.
This is indeed a cause for concern.
Such an answer should have satisfied any Alpha, but just as Long Xiao’s heart lightened, a new worry surfaced.
How long will you be gone? More than seven days?
After my Heat ends, I’ll miss you terribly. I’ll come find you, so you need to send me your location.
Look at that arrogant tone, those unbelievable words!
But Si An was used to it. He smiled coolly and replied,
Sure, but do you even know how to turn on international roaming?
Based on his understanding of Long Xiao, Si An could bet his bottom dollar that the Alpha wouldn’t have a clue.
Sure enough, the Alpha’s brow furrowed even deeper.
What? I have to swim there? I can’t fly or take a plane?
If that’s the case, Si An shouldn’t go abroad at all. Long Xiao could endure it.
The moment those words left his mouth, the Omega burst into uncontrollable laughter.
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Si An rarely laughed so freely. His smiles were usually faint, often tinged with sarcasm.
But now, he was laughing heartily, his refined, aloof face instantly coming alive. The corners of his eyes, which always tilted upward, narrowed into slits, making him resemble a beautiful tabby cat squinting with amusement.
To Long Xiao, Si An looked like an immortal descending from the heavens, leaving him utterly mesmerized.
Faced with the Omega’s reaction, the Alpha belatedly realized he must have said something absurdly funny.
But he didn’t care in the slightest. He simply gazed at Si An’s laughing face, wondering if repeating the same words would elicit another smile.
You look beautiful when you laugh, Long Xiao said quietly, his usual directness unwavering.
His calm tone and demeanor carried an unmistakable air of indulgence.
Even as his beloved laughed at him, Long Xiao found himself falling even more deeply in love.
Si An’s smile vanished instantly. He withdrew his grin and glared at Long Xiao.
The Omega closed his eyes briefly, then raised a hand to smooth his hair, which had been slightly disheveled by his laughter.
Just drive, he said.
The light had already turned green, but the Alpha’s infatuation had kept them stopped for a moment. Now, the car behind them was honking softly, hesitant to provoke Long Xiao’s expensive and intimidating vehicle.
Heeding the Omega’s reminder, the Alpha silently averted his gaze, his expression a mix of confusion and regret.
Oh, he murmured.
Si An turned to look out the window. I won’t be going abroad.
How can you change prearranged plans so easily?
You don’t need to understand international roaming. Leave it to your assistant.
When the time came, he would bring this clueless Alpha along. Otherwise, his phone would probably ring a hundred times a day, and he couldn’t tolerate that kind of harassment.
Hearing Si An’s words, Long Xiao’s frown gradually relaxed, but he remained uneasy. He solemnly warned, Si An, for the next week, don’t answer any of my calls. Understand?
Si An half-closed his eyes, neither agreeing nor refusing, but feeling a growing irritation.
He cracked open the car window, letting the wind rush in with a whistling sound, shattering the quiet inside.
Idiot.
