The wife who came to my door
“Knock knock—”
"Did you sleep well?" Gu Pei stood at the door with a breakfast in his hand.
Lin Xunye put away the smile on his face, frowned and asked: "Is this your home?"
Gu Pei put his plate aside and pulled up a chair to sit down. He propped his chin with one hand, his gaze casually fixed on Lin Xunye. His slightly damp hair drooped casually on either side, with one or two strands hanging in front of his eyes, but it didn't look out of place.
"You weren't feeling well yesterday, so I brought you back."
Lin Xunye's expression visibly worsened. He tutted and was about to thank him when he suddenly changed the subject, his tone full of suspicion as if he had caught a pervert: "I was at the bar yesterday. How did you find me?"
Lin Xunye narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was looking at a criminal.
In a trance, he felt that Gu Pei was the blue-haired man, but he had no evidence.
But unfortunately, he did not see Gu Pei's frustrated or guilty look as he had expected.
Gu Pei opened his clenched fingers, placed them on the sides of his face, and tapped the corners of his eyes one after another.
Just when Lin Xunye was about to speak again to convict Gu Pei, Gu Pei spoke.
"You called me yourself, did you forget?"
What......
Lin Xunye's brows were furrowed even more tightly than before. He held the cat in his left hand and reached under the quilt with his right hand to grope for his cell phone.
But he couldn't find it.
Just before he exploded, Gu Pei tapped his shoulder with a hard square object, "Your phone."
Lin Xunye lifted his eyelids and looked over. It was indeed his phone. He angrily pulled it out of Gu Pei's hand with such force that Gu Pei was thrown back.
Before turning on the phone, Lin Xunye glanced at Gu Pei.
Gu Pei was still standing by the bed, leaning over to pick up the teapot and pouring out some black tea. Noticing his gaze, she smiled at him.
Lin Xunye: Pretending.
He snorted, thinking about how to deal with Gu Pei. He paused when he called up the communication records.
At the top of the communication record is a person with the note "neighbor's brother", and the latest call time was 9 o'clock last night.
The boy next door was one of Lin Xunye’s few friends in his childhood.
Lin's mother was known for her volatile moods. When he was little, no one wanted to play with Lin Xunye.
They were all afraid of being visited by Lin's mother, and also afraid of Lin's father's constant lectures. Before the age of five, the only playmate Lin Xunye could call his was the stone at the doorstep.
When Lin Xunye was six years old, a family moved in next door to the Lin family.
From the gossip of the adults, Lin Xunye got the concept of fortune-telling for the first time in his life.
The adults said, "I heard the Gu family who just moved in next door hired a Feng Shui master to calculate their land. It's a treasure!"
"What do you know? It's because of his son, the one who has the potential to differentiate into an Alpha since he was a child. You all don't know, his son is possessed by a ghost, and the fortune teller said that moving here will help him rekindle his relationship with the person in his dream."
Lin Xunye is young and cannot understand the deeper content.
But he vaguely knew that a younger brother of his age had moved in next door and would become his playmate.
Lin Xunye turned off his phone and looked at Gu Pei with a scrutinizing gaze.
Gu Pei was calm and composed, not feeling uncomfortable at all from being stared at.
Five minutes later, Lin Xunye was defeated first.
"Are you the little kid from back then?" Lin Xunye asked, holding the phone.
Gu Pei had a faint smile on his face. "Hmm."
The ending tone was light and soft, like an extremely soft feather brushing across the side of his face, making the tips of Lin Xunye's ears slightly red.
Lin Xunye pretended to be calm and asked again, "But Baidu Encyclopedia says you are 28 years old."
Lin Xunye is 27 years old this year, which is considered to be relatively old among the unmarried people in the same circle.
Li Ye and Xu Qian were both twenty-four years old, three years younger than Lin Xunye.
Gu Pei brought the dried black tea and motioned Lin Xunye to take it. "Someone else wrote it randomly. I don't know anything about it."
He said it lightly, but it was like a bolt from the blue to Lin Xunye.
Is there anything more outrageous than having your fiancé be your childhood playmate?
Lin Xunye took a sip of tea to calm down. After a while, he suddenly said: "It doesn't taste good. Don't make it next time."
Gu Pei glanced at the empty teacup and silently filled it up for him.
Lin Xunye curled his lips and returned to his duplicity. Gu Pei knew that he had recovered and got straight to the point: "When are we going to get the marriage certificate?"
The question came so suddenly that Lin Xunye almost spit out the tea he had just drunk.
"Don't be in a hurry. We are still young. Why should we be in a hurry? Besides, your company must be very busy, haha." Lin Xunye looked around and said something else.
Gu Pei was standing in the perfect spot. To the right of the bed was a floor-to-ceiling window, blocking out a large swath of sunlight. Lin Xunye felt at ease hiding in the cozy place Gu Pei had created, not being polite at all.
Since he already knew that his marriage partner was an acquaintance, Lin Xunye simply stopped pretending.
Anyway, this marriage will happen sooner or later.
Then it is reasonable for him to enjoy the convenience brought by his fiancé in advance.
Gu Pei was not surprised by his answer.
He was about to leave when he received the call last night.
Gu Pei was a little surprised when he saw the caller ID.
It had been nine years since he had called from this number. So long that the man's face had become a blur in his memory.
The relationship between the Gu and Lin families was average. It couldn't be said to be bad, but it was just a passing nod between them.
Ever since Lin Xunye went abroad, the relationship between the two families has almost disappeared.
Not long ago, Gu Pei sent out a blind date message.
A large number of rich young men and women flocked to her. It was at that time that Lin Xunye's photo reappeared in Gu Pei's eyes.
In fact, Gu Pei had no intention of contacting Lin Xunye at the beginning. It was enough for someone who just left to feel sad once.
But strangely, when he was about to put Lin Xunye's photo into the shredder, his hand turned around and stuffed the photo into the drawer where important documents were stored.
Gu Pei believes in fate.
Everyone in the upper class knew that he was going on a blind date, but they didn't know why he wanted to go on a blind date.
At that moment, Gu Pei thought, let’s meet him, what if it’s him?
Unfortunately, he couldn't see the face of the person in his dream clearly, and couldn't perfectly match Lin Xunye with the person in his dream.
But this did not prevent Gu Pei from trial and error.
Moreover, his heart told him that this was the right choice.
What’s even more interesting is that his fiancé turned out to be the brother who took his wife’s money when they were young.
......
Lin Xunye was confused when he walked out of Gu Pei's house.
Gu Pei only said one sentence in response to his delay in getting married, "Okay, then come back to me when you're willing."
Then he was politely invited out by Gu Pei.
He still remembered standing outside the gate. When he turned around and looked back, there was a red mark on Gu Pei's flawless face, and there seemed to be a small black spot on his clean nose.
It doesn't look like a mole, but more like a acne scar filled with ink.
Lin Xunye was in a state of confusion. He didn't want to get married, but his current situation clearly didn't allow him to do what he wanted.
Father Lin did not leave him any leeway, and even threatened to destroy the organization he had worked so hard to establish. He even kept saying things like he was so despicable in his previous life to belittle him.
Although the Lin family is weak, it is still easy to deal with him.
What's more, he is still the youngest son of the Lin family. If his father says a few words about him, his reputation will be ruined and the organization will be finished.
In this Internet age where information flows rapidly, evaluation is very important.
Although Lin Xunye didn't care about other people's opinions of him, he couldn't put the organization in danger. He couldn't take risks.
And his omega identity...
So annoying.

Ink-dyed calligraphy agency.
Li Ye was wearing a brown long gown, holding a brush in his hand, and chatting with Xu Qian in a casual manner.
Xu Qian: "Brother Lin is so stubborn. I can't figure out why the marriage is arranged. I've been feeling itchy all over these past few days."
Li Ye: "It's not good to be too curious. Go to the bookcase in the back and get a copy of the Thousand Character Classic and a brush to practice calligraphy. This will help you cultivate your character."
Hearing this, Xu Qian burst out laughing.
"Brother Lin has been writing for so many years, but he's still so..." irritable.
With a "bang", the door was kicked open from the outside, interrupting Xu Qian's words.
"Brother... why are you here?" Xu Qian's eyes rolled around and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Given Lin Xunye's temper, if he heard him complaining about himself, he would definitely slap him twice.
Lin Xunye didn't react much, just glanced at him coldly.
Li Ye continued to write calmly, each stroke showing his dignity.
Lin Xunye sat on the sofa not far away with his legs crossed, staring at the two of them without saying anything.
Knowing that he had said something wrong, Xu Qian shrank his head and went to the back to get the Thousand Character Classic that Li Ye mentioned and the washed and hung brush.
For a moment, the only sounds in the room were breathing and the sound of brushstrokes rubbing against rice paper.
The three of them remained silent for an hour.
Before dark, Lin Xunye broke the deadlock: "Tell me, can I become a Beta?"
Xu Qian: "Brother, do you want to become an Alpha?"
Li Ye paused, speechlessly covering Xu Qian's mouth with his hand. He refuted Xu Qian's words, then offered a professional explanation: "The risk of an omega turning into a beta is extremely high. Gland removal is necessary, and a misoperation might require a second surgery. Even if a lucky success is achieved, 97% of people will live with the aftereffects for the rest of their lives."
"Besides, with current medical technology, there's no way to guarantee 100% success. Even if you're lucky enough to be among the 3% who don't suffer any side effects, the pain of having the gland removed is unbearable."
"Don't even think about removing the omega gland and transplanting an alpha gland. It's almost impossible."
Li Ye's family is in the medical equipment business, so he knows a little bit about it, but he likes calligraphy and has been taking interest classes since junior high school.
Lin Xunye went later than him, only in his second year of high school.
The idea of removing the gland was dismissed, and Lin Xunye's straight back bent again.
He really doesn't want to get married!
The room was quiet again.
After Li Ye finished writing one page, he spread the rice paper on the ground and began to read it.
Xu Qian leaned over and commented, "This character 結 is so strange, why does it look like this? And the 婚 is also weird." After Xu Qian finished his comment, he continued to read. After seeing the names of Lin Xunye and Gu Pei, he broke into words, "Are you writing a marriage certificate for me?"
Lin Xunye: “…”
Li Ye: “…”
Xu Qian, who was slapped twice for saying the wrong thing, covered his face and drove the two of them to dinner.
Li Ye, who was betrayed by Xu Qian, became Lin Xunye's royal servant.
When they arrived at the place, Li Ye got out of the car and opened the door for Lin Xunye.
Lin Xunye put his money in his pocket and jumped out of the car without hesitation.
Give him some face as a good brother. After all, he just slapped him.
The three of them walked towards the restaurant, one in front and one behind. Xu Qian walked in front, swinging his arms exaggeratedly.
Li Ye walked in the middle in an orderly manner. Although Lin Xunye was not as flamboyant as Xu Qian, the lip studs at the corners of his mouth added a kind of wild beauty to his whole person, not to mention his fiery red hair, which could definitely be called cool.
Even if you do nothing, just standing there is enough to attract attention.
The three of them attracted almost everyone's attention. Under the admiring or curious gazes of everyone, Lin Xunye put on the hat.
Being watched like a monkey.
bother.
When he reached the door of the hotel, Lin Xunye heard a voice that was familiar to him but extremely disgusting.
And the pheromones that overflowed due to emotional excitement made him feel so nauseous that he wanted to vomit.
Quite abruptly, Lin Xunye suddenly wanted to know what Gu Pei's pheromones smelled like.
An Alpha like him would probably choose fir or cypress, which would be more consistent with the first impression.
Anyway, it won’t taste this disgusting.
