Chapter 29: Why are you crying so hard?
On his way back, Jiang Xunzhou also received a mocking message from Jiang Zuwen.
[What is the identity of that little celebrity you raised? I suddenly forgot. Can you tell me?]
Jiang Xunzhou: [The identity of the president's wife. Any questions?]
Jiang Xunzhou: [Stop calling me a little star. Find someone else to drink with you. We can get together again next time when we have time.]
He transferred a four-digit red envelope, which Jiang Zuwen accepted without hesitation: "It's a fee for changing your statement, right? I understand."
But he still didn't forget to put his face close to hers: [Friendly reminder to someone, it seems like you two are still in a contractual relationship.]
Jiang Xunzhou asked back: [What contract?]
Jiang Zuwen admired him greatly.
Okay, you are worthy of being a president. You can take it and let it go. You can deny it if you say so.
The car stopped at the door of the villa and Jiang Xunzhou got out in a hurry. He was carrying perfume with him and remembered that Yu You didn't like the smell of alcohol, so he pumped a few pumps before entering the door.
As soon as he opened the door, a figure rushed over, wrapped in the rich fragrance of irises, and ran straight into Jiang Xunzhou's arms.
Jiang Xunzhou stretched out his arms, caught the child steadily, and coaxed him gently, "Baby, I'm back."
Yu You grabbed Jiang Xunzhou's collar and sniffed around cautiously. He smelled a scent that didn't belong to vetiver. His mouth pursed, and he looked up, his eyes instantly reddened. "Do you have another Omega out there?"
"How is that possible?" Jiang Xunzhou said quickly, "I went to see Jiang Zuwen, the one you know. I sat down and didn't say a word to him. I came back after receiving your call."
"I can smell it all, there is..."
Yu You didn't listen at all. She felt so wronged as if the sky had fallen. Tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls, and she still struggled to get out of Jiang Xunzhou's arms.
Jiang Xunzhou couldn't coax Yu You no matter what he did, so he simply held Yu You's face and kissed him.
The boy who had just been crying and making a fuss immediately responded enthusiastically, hugged Jiang Xunzhou's neck, and eagerly declared his ownership.
"Husband...my..."
An indistinct sound of grievance escaped from between their intertwined lips and tongues.
Jiang Xunzhou's heart softened when he heard this. He wiped the tears from Yu You's face with his fingertips and whispered, "It's yours, no one can take it away from you."
Yu You was tired of crying and curled up in Jiang Xunzhou's arms, her eyelids drooping and she looked drowsy.
"Go to sleep."
Jiang Xunzhou coaxed her and carried her upstairs with steady steps.
Yu You leaned against him, feeling at ease. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his long eyelashes, which were wet with tears, were half closed.
Jiang Xunzhou carefully put the person back on the bed, tucked him into the quilt, and went to the bathroom to take a shower to wash away the smell of alcohol. Then he returned to the bed and held the person in his arms again.
Yu You felt a familiar breath in his sleep, moved slightly, and gently grasped the collar of Jiang Xunzhou's nightgown with his fingers, showing a bit of uneasiness.
It’s like he’s afraid that someone will run away again.
Jiang Xunzhou smiled, tightened his embrace a little, closed his eyes, and fell asleep together.
The next morning, the dim morning light shone through the curtains that were not completely drawn, casting a beam of light on the boy's face.
Yu You slowly woke up, opened his sleepy eyes, and saw Jiang Xunzhou's broad and strong shoulders.
Jiang Xunzhou was still sleeping, with a few strands of black hair scattered in front of his deep and three-dimensional eyebrows. His warm breathing was steady and there was no sign of waking up.
The strong and powerful arms were placed on his waist, forming an embracing posture, showing an unignorable presence, and the quilt was warmed by the body temperature of both people.
Yu You's whole body was stiff, and the scattered memories of the past few days surged back with his regained sanity.
Climbing onto the bed in the middle of the night, burrowing into Jiang Xunzhou's arms while calling him "husband," crying while sitting on him, and being jealous of the non-existent Omega last night...
In Jiang Xunzhou's eyes, he might be thinking that he is playing a role-playing game in the ABO worldview, right?
Yu You's face was burning with heat. Apart from the embarrassment, what impressed him most was the memory of Jiang Xunzhou carrying him up the stairs step by step last night.
He was extremely sleepy and tired, grabbing Jiang Xunzhou's collar and sobbing and mumbling words that he couldn't even hear clearly.
Jiang Xunzhou lowered his voice and patiently coaxed him back and forth.
"I didn't want to leave you, I'm back."
"Don't cry, baby."
"It's my fault this time. I won't go out next time. I will always be with you."
"There's no other Omega, only you."
"I'm here."
The gentle words seemed to still hit my eardrums, causing my heartbeat in my chest to accelerate unconsciously.
Yu You raised his eyelashes hesitantly, his eyes flashing.
The man with a stern face had his eyes closed, his nose was straight, and his lips were thin. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't look like someone who could coax others.
But how can you believe the coaxing words in bed?
They had a contractual relationship from the beginning, and Jiang Xunzhou was just fulfilling the agreed terms.
Yu You bit her lip and carefully raised her arms, trying to crawl out of Jiang Xunzhou's arms and leave quietly.
Just as he had crawled out two steps and was about to get out of bed and leave, Yu You just breathed a sigh of relief when the man's slender arms pulled him back by the waist, and his back hit Jiang Xunzhou's chest.
Jiang Xunzhou's lazy, hoarse voice rang out overhead: "Where are you going?"
Yu You was startled and didn't dare to look back. He stammered, "I, I want to drink some water."
Jiang Xunzhou hummed, half-sitting up, and reaching out to take the cup of water on the bedside table: "Drink."
Yu You knelt on the bed and had no choice but to take the cup of water. He drank the water in small sips to moisten his throat, while carefully lifting his long eyelashes and stealing a peek at Jiang Xunzhou.
The man was half leaning against the head of the bed, with a hint of fatigue between his eyebrows and eyes. He rubbed his forehead, revealing a lazy and decadent sense of maturity.
The black silk nightgown had its laces rubbed off while he was sleeping, and the lapels were unceremoniously opened to both sides, revealing his wheat-colored chest and thin abdominal muscles that showed a sense of power.
On his chest, hickeys and sharp red marks like cat scratches were crisscrossed and as eye-catching as medals.
Yu You almost choked on the water and quickly put down the cup, his ears burning.
Is he so intense this time?
I vaguely remembered something.
It seemed that Jiang Xunzhou forced him to do it himself, and he was tired and angry, so he scratched the other person like this.
"Done?"
Jiang Xunzhou raised his eyes and asked naturally, took the cup from Yu You's hand, lowered his head and drank half a cup.
——That’s what he drank.
Yu You wanted to speak, but then he remembered that Jiang Xunzhou had already tasted his saliva, so drinking a glass of water together didn't seem like a big deal. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Jiang Xunzhou's thin lips were moistened by the liquid, and he leaned closer and kissed the corner of Yu You's lips, whispering, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, it doesn't hurt anymore..."
That bit of moisture fell on the lips, like a spark falling and suddenly exploding.
Yu You was in a daze, his brain seemed to be rusted and unable to think, and he responded mechanically.
Jiang Xunzhou said, "Baby, our engagement party is in a month, so stay home and prepare for it during this time."
Yu You nodded.
Jiang Xunzhou glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table and said, "I'm going to the study to work. If you miss me, just send me a message. I'll be back to accompany you."
Yu You answered blankly: "Oh..."
Jiang Xunzhou got up and went to the study, leaving Yu You sitting alone on the bed in the master bedroom, looking confused, as if something was wrong.
Yu You didn't have many friends, so after looking around, he could only send a message to Jiang Mingyan asking for help: [Sister Mingyan, I have a problem! Help! ]
Surfer Jiang Mingyan appeared in a second: [Little Fish Baby, here I come! What's wrong?! ]
Yu You was apprehensive: [Your brother has been particularly nice to me lately. I'm a little scared.]
Jiang Mingyan was confused.
"You're both about to get engaged, so isn't it normal for Brother Xunzhou to be so nice to you? My mom has a good relationship with the owner of a drone show company. A few days ago, Brother Xunzhou even came over specifically for your engagement party, hoping to ask my mom to introduce him to the owner. This shows how serious he is about your engagement."
[But in the end, we didn't book the drone show. I told my brother that colored smoke is all the rage lately and would be a great film, and he'd definitely like it, so he immediately changed his plan.]
Yu You took a breath.
This is even more wrong!
The equity agreement will officially take effect after they get engaged, which is equivalent to a done deal. Jiang Xunzhou has no need to make these unnecessary arrangements.
But I can't say these words to Jiang Mingyan.
Yu You had no choice but to swallow his words.
Yu You: [Maybe happiness came too quickly, I still can't believe it.]
Jiang Mingyan: [Hahahaha, I can't believe that Brother Xunzhou, who has such a sharp tongue, is the first one among us to get engaged!]
Actually, it’s not very poisonous.
Yu You thought subconsciously.
Kissing is quite...comfortable.
Some taboo images flashed through her mind, along with the man's slightly heavy breathing and his dark eyes filled with lust, staring straight at her.
【Baby, stick out your tongue. 】
The low voice seemed to echo in his ears again. Yu You's cheeks turned red. He threw away the phone, buried his hot face in the pillow, and felt that his head was smoking.
how so!
Yu You paused for a moment and decided to stay here until the last two days were over. Since he no longer needed Jiang Xunzhou's company physically, he immediately went back to the guest room and hid.
He was still frightened.
No wonder his fans tell him to film more and play with men less.
Playing with men is really too dangerous.
The boundary between love and desire is too vague, like a fog. If you are not careful, you will fall and get lost and forget yourself.
He felt a little hungry and sent a message to Jiang Xunzhou. After getting a reply, he went downstairs to get the takeaway meal at the door and brought it to the study.
Jiang Xunzhou naturally held Yu You and sat him on his lap, and began to open the takeaway box again.
Yu You sat sideways in Jiang Xunzhou's arms. Even though he was awake, he felt a little ashamed and moved subconsciously, but the afterglow of the passionate period had not completely passed. He was greedy and dependent on this warmth, so he stayed there obediently.
The desk in the study was large, and the monitor was on. On it was a page that Jiang Xunzhou had not yet closed, and the screen was full of English.
Yu You didn't care at first. He just glanced at it casually and exclaimed.
He noticed some familiar words and asked curiously, "What is this? Why do I seem to see you talking about Alpha and Omega?"
Jiang Xunzhou paused and closed the page on his computer. "This is a communication software that's commonly used abroad. One of my partners also heard about this fan fiction setting and was quite interested, so he pulled me aside to chat for a while."
Yu You suddenly realized: "Oh, that's it."
Jiang Xunzhou said again: "Baby, concentrate on eating."
Yu You said "oh", looked away and stopped thinking about it.
After the two finished their meal, Jiang Xunzhou still had to continue with his work, but Yu You felt lazy and didn't want to leave.
Jiang Xunzhou noticed it and asked, "Do you want to play tablet here with me?"
The study is furnished with a soft sofa, a beige velvet carpet, and a tablet.
The most important thing is that if you play with the tablet on the sofa, you can see Jiang Xunzhou as soon as you look up.
Yu You nodded modestly: "I can work with you for a while."
Jiang Xunzhou didn't reveal who was accompanying whom. He raised his thin lips, smiled, and just touched Yu You's cheek.
The palm was large and warm, and Yu You blushed a little. He couldn't help but protest: "Don't touch me."
Jiang Xunzhou looked at the person sitting on his lap, unreasonably grabbing the collar of his pajamas. He raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hands in surrender, and replied obediently: "Okay, baby, it's my fault."
Seeing Jiang Xunzhou's good attitude of admitting his mistake, Yu You was reluctantly satisfied. He jumped down and went to the sofa to play with Jiang Xunzhou's tablet.
He had played it before and remembered the password, so he opened it easily - the wallpaper on it was even a selfie of him and the cheering milk tea cup. If the tablet fell into the hands of someone else, they might think it was his.
Because he was interested in a script in which the protagonist was a bartender, Yu You had been watching content related to bartending recently. He easily found an instructional video and played it on mute.
Jiang Xunzhou also switched the page on the display screen and continued working.
In the quiet space, for a moment, the only sounds were the sounds of keyboards and the occasional noise of Jiang Xunzhou talking remotely with his subordinates while wearing wireless Bluetooth headphones.
Yu You couldn't help but get distracted while watching the video. Unconsciously, his gaze began to glance behind the desk.
Look at Jiang Xunzhou's slender fingers with distinct joints tapping on the keyboard, and the bulging blue veins on the back of his hand.
Look at Jiang Xunzhou's concentrated expression as he stares at the computer screen, and the calm expression between his eyebrows when he talks to his subordinates.
Yu You felt his chest getting slightly warm and his heartbeat became a little irregular.
strangeness.
He thought in amazement.
Did Jiang Xunzhou look so handsome before?
Until the man behind the table suddenly looked over.
Yu You woke up as if from a dream, lowered his head, and found that the video on the tablet was already playing for the second time from the beginning. He hurriedly resumed the progress.
But there was a sound. Jiang Xunzhou stood up and walked towards him.
Yu You raised his head in confusion: "Have you finished your work?"
"No."
Jiang Xunzhou sat on the sofa, hugged the person and sat him on his lap, and said straightforwardly: "But I want to kiss you."
Yu You's eyes widened into a circle, his whole body began to heat up, his cheeks flushed, and his brain seemed to have crashed due to overloading.
Jiang Xunzhou said he he he he he he he he he——
But the man in front of him was still looking at him and asked politely, "Little Fish Baby, is it okay?"
Yu You stumbled and said, "Is it okay?"
After all, the two of them have kissed so many times, this one won't be a big deal...
A smile flashed in Jiang Xunzhou's eyes. He held Yu You's cheek with his hand, rubbed his nose intimately with it, and then turned the angle and gently touched Yu You's lips.
Yu You's nerve endings felt numb as if they had received an electric shock, and he lost the ability to react. His shoulders were tense, and all his senses seemed to be concentrated on the corners of his lips.
The soft warmth came down with a tender feeling, rubbing against each other, conveying a feeling of love and affection.
The hot tip of the tongue then pried open the deep red lips, probed in, and then gradually went deeper.
Yu You's thick, long eyelashes trembled as fragilely as butterfly wings, and a faint red spread out at the corners of his eyes. Finally, as if he could not bear it anymore, he suddenly closed his eyes.
When vision is deprived, the other senses become more distinct.
He could hear Jiang Xunzhou's somewhat rapid breathing, and his own panting was even more arousing. He could feel the man's rough fingertips pressing on his cheek. Their breaths intertwined, their wet lips and tongues lingering in an ambiguous and passionate way, their bodies overlapping, intimate and transmitting their scorching body temperatures to each other...
It was just a kiss, but the impact was ten thousand times stronger than when in a passionate state.
This is so weird.
Yu You couldn't help but think.
"Why are you crying again?"
Jiang Xunzhou's voice sounded with a hint of helplessness.
Yu You slowly opened his eyes.
The man in front of him stepped back a little, sighed, pressed the corners of Yu You's moist eyes with his fingertips, and asked coaxingly: "You are crying so hard, are you uncomfortable with the kiss?"
Yu You didn't even realize that he was crying. He was stunned and reached out to touch his face. Only then did he realize that he was crying.
"I have no idea……"
Yu You looked timid, his clear eyes immersed in the flickering water light. He didn't understand why he was crying so hard, and he kept muttering in panic: "I, I don't know."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know." Jiang Xunzhou wiped the tears from Yu You's face with his palm, and the emotion in his eyes was as gentle as water. "Don't cry, baby."
Yu You sniffed, reached out to hug Jiang Xunzhou, buried his face in his neck, pressed tightly together, clinging to the warmth, bit his lip, and said nothing more.
There was only one thought in my mind.
...It shouldn't be like this.
After the last two days of the passionate period, Yu You hurried back to his guest bedroom, not daring to look directly at Jiang Xunzhou's face.
Fortunately, as the engagement party is approaching, there are more things to do.
The banquet was grand in scale and was held at the Jiang family's manor. The guest list alone was a long one. Yu You didn't have to worry about the seating arrangements, food and accommodation, and souvenirs. However, just choosing the wedding dress and taking engagement photos was enough to make him dizzy.
Yu You couldn't understand why the two of them needed so many wedding dresses.
There needs to be a set for morning parties, a set for formal outdoor engagements, and a new set for dinner toasts.
But Su Qiuling was very enthusiastic about the arrangements and had several rows of shelves of custom-made wedding dresses pushed to his home for him to choose from. He didn't want to turn down Su Qiuling's enthusiasm.
After finally choosing one, we were arranged to take several sets of engagement photos in different styles and scenes.
It was the first time that Yu You felt so awkward in front of the camera. Under the photographer's instructions of "Closer!" "Give me a hug!" "Let's be closer as a newlywed!", he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the ground.
On the other hand, Jiang Xunzhou looked calm and put his arms around his waist and back very naturally, as if he didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
After taking several sets of engagement photos, Yu You was exhausted, and then it was time to rehearse for the wedding.
After two days of waiting, Yu You was in a daze. He repeatedly confirmed with Jiang Xunzhou: "We are getting engaged, not married, right? Shouldn't an engagement be a simple little ceremony?"
Jiang Xunzhou's lips curled up slightly. "It's an engagement, but my parents are worried that if the ceremony is simple, you will feel that you are not valued. They insist that I make it as grand as possible."
But since it’s such a grand event, aren’t you worried about how it will end?
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Yu You hesitated to ask.
Jiang Xunzhou thought Yu You was just tired, so he explained, "I've asked the emcee to streamline the process. The morning party will be for friends and us to have some fun at the villa before heading to the manor. The guests' lunch will be at the manor, so we don't need to show up. We can just get ready in the lounge. Only the engagement ceremony in the afternoon involves the equity agreement, which is more formal and requires a public appearance in front of the family elders. We'll just go through the motions for the evening banquet."
Yu You suppressed his uneasiness, curved his eyebrows slightly, and nodded with a smile: "Okay."
Jiang Xunzhou's expression softened and he pinched Yu You's cheek: "Thank you for your hard work, baby."
Yu You's fingers moved slightly, and he said nonchalantly: "It's not hard. After all, we agreed on this at the beginning."
The smile on Jiang Xunzhou's lips froze for a moment, causing Yu You to look away hastily, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Boss Jiang! Mr. Yu!——"
In the distance, an emcee held a microphone and asked the two to come over to confirm the process that had just been modified.
Jiang Xunzhou didn't say much, just smiled briefly, his expression unchanged, and held Yu You's hand: "Let's go over there."
According to custom, the two newlyweds cannot see each other the night before their engagement.
Yu You lived in the villa, while Jiang Xunzhou returned to the manor and came to pick him up that morning.
Because of the morning party games, the whole villa was decorated with lively blue and white balloons and a sea of blue roses, and star lights were twinkling.
The master bedroom, which serves as the wedding room, is decorated festively with red as the main color. There is a row of red roses on the bedside, and the word "囍" is pasted on the lampshade. The wide bed is also covered with a bright red satin quilt and sprinkled with rose petals. Countless beautiful butterflies decorated with pearls are flying in the air.
Before they parted at night, Jiang Xunzhou was a little worried. He held Yu You's hand, squeezed his fingers comfortingly, and said, "Baby, I'll come pick you up when I wake up tomorrow morning."
Yu You nodded: "Okay, okay, then I'll ask Aunt Liu to save a portion for you when she makes breakfast."
Jiang Xunzhou's eyes were filled with pity, and he asked in a low voice: "Are you afraid of living alone?"
Yu You blinked, looking innocent: "I'm not afraid, and I don't live alone, I have Brother Shi to accompany me."
Shi Sanlin appeared from the side, patted his chest, and confidently promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I'm in the guest bedroom! If Xiao Yu needs anything, just give me a shout and I'll be there!"
Jiang Xunzhou choked, but when he thought about the bodyguards he had specially arranged to guard the villa, and the security monitoring system in the villa was also the latest cutting-edge technology, he felt relieved: "Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Shi to take care of baby Xiaoyu."
Shi Sanlin was flattered, feeling incredibly privileged. "Mr. Jiang, you're too polite. I treat Xiao Yu like my own family. It's only natural."
Yu You and Jiang Xunzhou waved goodbye, chatted with Shi Sanlin for a few more words, and returned to the master bedroom to rest early.
After all, there's a lot to do for tomorrow's engagement ceremony.
After taking a shower, Yu You lay down comfortably in the quilt of the master bedroom, folded his hands and placed them on his lower abdomen, and fell into a sweet dream in the scent of roses.
Until waves of shaking and bumps came, gradually awakening consciousness.
Yu You opened his eyes in a daze, but found that there was a black cloth covering his eyes, with only light shining through the bottom, and his vision was so narrow that there was only a slit.
The humming roar of the vehicle engine was in my ears. The slightest movement of my hands and feet gave me a strong feeling of being tightly bound. There was also tape on my mouth, preventing me from making any sound.
A few unfamiliar conversations were heard in the front row.
"The security system at President Jiang's villa is too sensitive. We were so careful up front, but we didn't expect the alarm to be triggered in the end."
"Luckily we left in time, otherwise if we were a minute later, we would have run into those bodyguards and wouldn't have been able to leave."
One of them said in a complicated tone, "I brought an anesthetic injection and was ready to give the person behind me one at any time. I didn't expect that the situation was so urgent and chaotic, but he could still sleep so soundly and not wake up the whole time..."
Another person consoled him, "Isn't it good that the hostage hasn't woken up? Less trouble is worse than more. After all, they want equity, not the hostage. Maybe it's over, and we'll have to send him back respectfully and properly—"
Yu You was confused for two seconds, then slowly realized something.
ah?
On the day of the engagement, he seemed to be kidnapped as a hostage?
