Chapter 69 Opportunity favors the prepared mind.
Lu Xiwen had memories of when he was five or six years old.
At that time, his parents had not yet divorced, and the family relationship had not reached the point of no return. Tang Qingsu spent most of her time with him. Children are naturally dependent on their mothers, so he often acted spoiled towards Tang Qingsu.
For a time, people around him even said that he was too good at getting along with others, had a sweet tongue, was good-looking, and was popular wherever he went.
As he grew older, his parents divorced and went their separate ways. Lu Xiwen was left alone in the large old house. When the differentiation was complete, the top characteristics removed a part of his humanity.
Therefore, Pei Wu was destined to be an accident.
Lu Xiwen knew he was troublesome and difficult to please, both in life and at work.
He kept wondering how long Pei Wu could hold out, and once he became interested, his gaze was unconsciously drawn to her.
Once a meal or a cup of tea becomes a habit, it's hard to break. Before Pei Wu differentiated, Lu Xiwen could still keep a distance, but after waking up from nightmares countless times and seeing Pei Wu lying in a pool of blood, all Lu Xiwen had left was the thought of capturing her at all costs.
He was originally very bothered by Omega pheromones because they all smelled the same: sticky, strong, and foul-smelling. Lu Xiwen knew this was prejudice, but he didn't intend to change it.
But the scent of lisianthus dispelled the dust, and Lu Xiwen opened the door in his heart that had been closed for a long time. He faced his past experiences squarely, and then opened everything up to welcome the lisianthus to take root in the snow-covered pine forest.
Lu Xiwen used to not believe in pheromone compatibility, but now he thinks that his pheromone compatibility with Pei Wu must be 100%, otherwise there is no way to explain why he is so obsessed.
Alpha has tamed its claws and become a completely domesticated big cat.
She acted all cute and ingratiating, just to make Pei Wu happy.
Late at night, Lu Xiwen's breathing became heavy, and after a few seconds of feeling suffocated, he suddenly sat up in bed.
The curtains weren't drawn, and the clear moonlight revealed the terror in the Alpha's eyes.
His chest heaved violently, and his forehead and face were covered in sweat, which rolled into beads and disappeared into his collar.
Lu Xiwen wiped his face, threw off the covers, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom.
Cold water was poured over his head, and his nerves jolted. This was a dream, Lu Xiwen told himself. Pei Wu was alright; he had returned that night.
After soaking for more than half an hour, Lu Xiwen finally came out, feeling a chill all over his body.
He ignored the water in his hair, sat on the edge of the bed, and took out his phone.
Actually, he didn't have any expectations. After hanging up the video call with Pei Wu, he should have gone to rest. However, the screen lit up and there was a photo that Pei Wu had sent afterward. Lu Xiwen couldn't wait to click on it. It was a photo of a flowering cactus on the windowsill. Pei Wu didn't say anything. It was just like sharing life. She simply took the photo to show Lu Xiwen.
Lu Xiwen pressed his phone to his chest, feeling extremely lucky.
Then he left a message for Lan Zhe, saying he wouldn't be going to the company and that Lan Zhe could make his own arrangements. After that, he bought a flight to Yuncheng the next day.
Stop waiting! Opportunity favors the prepared mind.
Lu Xiwen, dressed neatly, walked into the night.
Pei Wu didn't sleep well all night, probably because he was used to being hugged from behind and his nostrils were filled with the crisp scent of pine forest. He opened his eyes at 6:30 in the morning, took a quick shower, came out to work on his computer, and then called the front desk to order breakfast.
The doorbell rang about ten minutes later, and Pei Wu got up to answer it.
There were indeed waiters pushing food carts standing at the entrance, and next to them was a tall figure.
Lu Xiwen glanced disdainfully at the sandwiches on the food cart: "You're going to eat this?"
Pei Wu blinked. Was she hallucinating?
"No need to send it, I'm not eating," Lu Xiwen told the waiter.
The waiter hadn't noticed where this handsome man had come from and looked to Pei Wu for help.
Pei Wu regained consciousness and quickly said, "No need, thank you for your trouble."
The waiter exchanged a few polite words and pushed the food cart away, while Lu Xiwen swaggered into Pei Wu's room.
"Guan Yan didn't even bother to book a better place for you."
This is nitpicking. What more could you ask for in a five-star hotel's presidential suite?
Pei Wu was stunned. "Why are you here?"
Lu Xiwen turned around. Besides his top-tier status, his good looks were truly his best weapon. Especially when he was facing Pei Wu, he had a smug look on his face, which revealed a childlike innocence that had been submerged by reality for too long. It was not childish, but very endearing. One of his dark eyebrows was slightly raised, and the lines from his high nose bridge to his lips were smooth, even more intense than the gradually rising sunlight outside.
"I missed you." After Lu Xiwen finished speaking, he stepped forward and hugged Pei Wu.
Without giving the Omega a chance to speak, he lowered his head and gently pecked at his lips, one peck after another as if they were precious treasures, repeatedly asking, "Did you miss me? Did you miss me?"
Pei Wu blushed and turned her head away, but Lu Xiwen raised his hand and pressed her head back.
Pheromones surged up from beneath her feet, leaving Pei Wu speechless for a moment.
Only when the sunlight fully illuminated the room did Pei Wu gently push Lu Xiwen away.
His breathing was still unsteady as he asked, "Are you hungry?"
"It's alright," Lu Xiwen said. "Change your clothes, and I'll take you out to eat."
Fortunately, Pei Wu had brought an extra set of casual clothes. The light brown trench coat made his waist look slim and his legs look long. Lu Xi couldn't help but step forward and hug him from behind. It was very tight, and his breath was pressed against Pei Wu's neck.
Pei Wu struggled symbolically for a moment, "Didn't you say you were going out?"
Lu Xi smelled a heavy odor, grunted twice, and then released the person.
Lu Xiwen took Pei Wu out for morning tea.
Normally, when he goes out, his subordinates arrange these things, but this time he drove Pei Wu to a high-end restaurant with a great reputation and had a conversation with the waiter.
With the roles reversed, Pei Wu felt a warm yet strange sensation.
At this moment, they were not superior and subordinate. Pei Wu did not need to make any preparations. He could simply follow behind Lu Xiwen and enjoy the moment, just like an ordinary couple.
"The goldfish dumplings and black pepper beef ribs here are pretty good. Cao Guan recommended them. You should try them," Lu Xiwen said.
Pei Wu: "Okay."
"I'll also order you a fragrant honeycomb cake, and a serving of radish cake too."
"Okay, I'll pack some more later. Guan Yan didn't eat any either."
Lu Xiwen: "Do you have any plans for this morning?"
"No."
“Then we don’t need to worry about Guan Yan,” Lu Xiwen said. “He won’t get up until noon.”
Lu Xiwen was right; until they finished eating, Pei Wu's message to Guan Yan remained unanswered.
While driving through a certain place, Pei Wu wanted to try a popular ice cream shop. Lu Xiwen was standing in line there, wearing sunglasses and looking down at the latest popular movies, completely unaware of the intense stares coming from all around him.
