Chapter 103
Li Songyun never thought that he would hear these words from Gu Tunan.
In fact, he had confided in his parents that those in the Li family, who had benefited from the marriage with the Gu family, and who had been shielded by the Gu family, knew his difficulties, reluctance, and pain.
Those people comforted him, sympathized with him, but more importantly, they enlightened him, allowing him to learn tolerance, understanding, and gratitude...
Some even said behind his back that he was ungrateful.
No one has ever told Li Songyun that he can live the life he wants, like Gu Tunan did.
The pair of gray-blue eyes, the same as Gu Mian's, stared at him earnestly, as if to convey some kind of power to him. Li Songyun's vision was blocked by the mist, and his nose suddenly felt very sour, but the taste in his heart was bittersweet.
"You..." Li Songyun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
People outside say that he and Gu Mian are a model couple. He is a winner in life in the eyes of outsiders, and Mrs. Gu's position is so glorious.
He and Gu Mian have very different personalities, but the high degree of compatibility of their pheromones made Gu Mian fall in love with him. His parents told him that omegas would submit to and love alphas because of the mark, and it didn't matter if there was no love, as their pheromones were so compatible, they would definitely be happy.
This is a malicious lie.
Because of the highly matching pheromones, his body became addicted to Gu Mian, but Gu Mian was rational and restrained like a robot.
Gu Mian hates the feeling of being out of control and dominated by pheromones. She demands that his soul be independent and that he overcome his instincts to give his husband enough private space.
He couldn't resist Gu Mian. In an AO relationship, the alpha is the natural superior. Even an incompetent and lowly alpha can easily manipulate his wife's personality and dignity, not to mention the disparity in social status between him and Gu Mian.
So he could only choose to put on layer after layer of perfect masks to cover up all the blood and pain, and to cover up this relationship that was already full of holes and cracks.
They were united by the mission of family and continuation of the family line. Their child was not the fruit of love, but at this moment he gave him the love and understanding that he had not expected for a long time.
He should be happy, happy that this kid is different from Gu Mian, happy that someone finally said this to him, but...
He is 46 years old and has four children with Gu Mian. The youngest is only six years old now.
Gu Mian is a very good alpha. He has never committed domestic violence, cheated on his wife, or done anything substantially wrong. In this society, no omega has ever divorced because of the so-called freedom. If he pursues the life he wants, the reputation of the Gu family and the Li family will be damaged.
"Xiao Nan, I'm glad you can tell me this, but I'm not young anymore." Li Songyun's voice trembled slightly. He gently touched Gu Tunan's face with his hands, which were no longer smooth and delicate. "But you are still young. You can still make up for the mistakes you made and have a happy marriage. If you meet someone you want to marry in the future, you must treat them well. Do you understand?"
Gu Tunan lowered his eyes when he heard this. When he raised his eyes again, he looked at Li Songyun's face carefully, "Little Dad, you have taken good care of yourself. You don't look old at all."
"No matter what decision you make, I support you. If you want to continue living with your father, I will support you. If you want to divorce, I will support you and honor you."
"Stop crying."
After delivering the medicinal meal, Tang Bai strolled back to Xie Ruheng's ward. Admiral Mo had already left the ward, and Xie Ruheng was sitting on the bed, concentrating on hatching the mecha egg.
However, the mecha egg was seriously damaged. Even when the energy crystal was placed next to the mecha egg, the mecha egg did not absorb any energy.
"It's repairing itself." Tang Bai checked the status of the mecha egg, "It will take a long time to repair."
Xie Ruheng put down the mecha egg and looked at Tang Bai with a little apology: "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Tang Bai blinked his eyes, "Brother Xie, is your susceptible period over?"
Xie Ruheng nodded. The alpha, who was now at the end of his susceptible period, was calm and composed. He didn't look like a clingy dog as he was a few days ago. "Did you notice?"
Tang Bai: “…”
Damn it, I actually miss the time when Brother Xie was a bit of a jerk.
Xie Ruheng pinched Tang Bai's nose and asked, "Why do you look so disappointed? Are you dissatisfied with me now?" His tone was as calm as if he was just chatting, but Tang Bai's heart was filled with alarm bells and he instantly felt a sense of crisis.
After all, this is an alpha who gets jealous of his own alpha! If you think about it carefully, it is actually very reasonable to get jealous of yourself during the susceptible period!
"I just feel a little uncomfortable. Brother Xie, who is in the susceptible period, sticks to me like a snowball--" Tang Baika was stunned for a moment. What he said in his heart that Xie Ruheng was a dog was completely different from what he said out loud!
The handsome alpha in front of him didn't show much emotion. His dark phoenix eyes looked at him meaningfully. Just when Tang Bai's face wrinkled with guilt, Xie Ruheng suddenly called out "Woof" in a low and magnetic voice.
Tang Bai: “???????”
"Are you feeling more comfortable now?" Xie Ruheng asked seriously.
His expression was calm and his tone was natural, as if he was attending some formal symposium.
Tang Bai pinched his thigh in a trance, suspecting that he was dreaming.
hiss--
It hurts so much.
A smile flashed across his eyes, and Xie Ruheng reached out and held Tang Bai's trembling hand. "It's hard for me to control myself when I'm susceptible. I always want to be close to you."
"As soon as I get close to you, I want to kiss you. As soon as we kiss, I want to go to bed with you." He said these words with a calm expression that was totally inconsistent with his appearance. His phoenix eyes focused on Tang Bai. "Now, even if I really want to kiss you, I can try to restrain myself."
An alpha who had always been rational honestly said that he succumbed to the charm of his favorite omega, which made Tang Bai blush a little, "You are my boyfriend, you don't need to restrain yourself."
Hold his hand with a little force, and then slowly clasp his five fingers.
Tang Bai's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. He saw the phoenix eyes, which could not conceal their strength even when lowered, getting closer and closer. There was a tenderness in them that could drown him. Xie Ruheng sucked on his lips, and then kissed him fiercely and recklessly.
A new kiss that you haven't tried before.
Is this something Xie Ruheng has just learned?
After kissing Tang Bai till he was completely smitten, Xie Ruheng whispered, "I don't know if I want to go to the First Star Cluster in the future."
Xie Ruheng in the book did not go to the First Star Group. The First Star Group was very strict about the background of soldiers and there could not be any black spots. Xie Ruheng was once an underground arena competitor and did not meet the requirements.
This time it was Admiral Mo who came to find Xie Ruheng. Admiral Mo would definitely help Xie Ruheng resolve the issue of his background. Why did Xie Ruheng still have to worry about whether to go to the First Star Cluster?
Tang Bai looked at Xie Ruheng puzzledly.
Xie Ruheng touched his head and said, "Qiu Yan and the others will also go to the battlefield in the future. I don't want them to be used as cannon fodder. I think..."
"I can lead a squad myself and create my own chapter."
Create his own team and protect whoever he wants to protect.
After hearing Xie Ruheng's decision, Tang Bai found that this decision overlapped with Xie Ruheng in the book again.
Although there may be deviations between the details in the book and reality, the important plots are consistent.
"By the way, I'm going to take a look at the First Star Cluster tomorrow. The person who will take me on the tour is Jiao Jian, who plays the role of Lu En in the game." Xie Ruheng heard the message alert tone, he turned on the computer and saw Jiao Jian's friend request.
Tang Bai leaned over and said, "My mom is going to prepare a big table of delicious food tomorrow to celebrate our survival. Brother Xie, ask Jiao Jian if he wants to come."
Li Songyun returned home with fever-reducing medicine. It was a rare occasion for General Gu to be at home with his grandson. Six-year-old Gu Peifeng held his stomach and said happily when he saw Li Songyun and Gu Tunan coming back, "Little Dad! Third Brother! You are finally back!"
"Xiaofeng, are you feeling stomachache?" Li Songyun asked worriedly.
"I'm so hungry." Gu Peifeng said aggrievedly, "Grandpa doesn't let me eat snacks, saying it's almost time for dinner."
Unlike alphas and omegas who are all thin, betas will become fat if they can't control their diet. Gu Peifeng is a beta and now has chubby cheeks. Grandpa Gu cannot allow a fat person to appear in the Gu family, and he restricts Gu Peifeng's diet every time he goes home.
"It's getting late, let's eat." Li Songyun looked in the kitchen and found that the ingredients he prepared for lunch were still in place, "Sister Wang."
Li Songyun said to the nanny who came over after hearing the noise: "Didn't I ask you to cook dinner today?"
Mrs. Wang glanced at General Gu in the living room with embarrassment, "General Gu said that Mr. Gu will come back to eat tonight. My cooking skills are not as good as yours, so General Gu asked you to come back to cook dinner."
Li Songyun is a great cook. Everyone says that after Gu Mian got used to eating Li Songyun's dishes, he no longer wanted to eat dishes made by others and would rather drink nutritional liquid.
When they first got married, Li Songyun prepared all three meals a day for Gu Mian. After they were prepared at home, she had someone deliver them to the military headquarters. However, the military headquarters was an important military location, and it was inappropriate and had a bad impact to have someone deliver lunch boxes every day, so Li Songyun stopped delivering them.
Li Songyun stopped making lunch boxes and just drank nutritional liquids by himself in the military headquarters without any loss of appetite.
In fact, Li Songyun sometimes felt that Gu Mian didn't like his cooking as much as everyone said. The fact that Gu Mian liked his cooking was said by others, including General Gu, Lieutenant General Mo, and Mrs. Wang...
Gu Mian never said that.
He once asked Gu Mian, "Do you like the food I cook?"
Gu Mian told him that as a husband he should eat the meals cooked by his wife, and the wife had the obligation to cook for her husband.
With a flushed face, he stood beside Gu Mian, who was picking up dishes indifferently, shrouded in shame for his self-indulgent feelings.
Why would he think too much? Gu Mian drank the nutrient solution in the military department to save time.
Gu Mian never showed any particular preference.
He asked Gu Mian whether he liked sweet, salty, spicy or sour food, and Gu Mian said it was all right.
It will be all right.
You can eat the food he cooks, or you can not eat the food he cooks.
You can choose him as Mrs. Gu, or you can choose someone else to be Mrs. Gu.
Li Songyun's long silence made Wang Sao a little uneasy. Although Li Songyun looked gentle, it was strange that she couldn't raise her head for some reason when she stood in front of Li Songyun.
She thought it was because Mrs. Gu was so beautiful. It was not because of her good looks, but because of the "aura" around her. At first glance, she had the demeanor of Mrs. Gu.
"Mrs. Wang, you come and cook dinner." Li Songyun said lightly.
He walked out of the kitchen. General Gu in the living room saw Li Songyun preparing to return to the bedroom and hurriedly said, "Xiao Li, Gu Mian will be back for dinner today."
Li Songyun hummed in a neutral tone and continued walking towards the bedroom.
General Gu couldn't sit still any longer. "Don't you cook? Gu Mian only eats what you cook."
"Dad, I have a fever." Li Songyun said softly, "I want to rest for a while."
Admiral Gu found that there was indeed some unnatural blushing on Li Songyun's face, and some dark circles under his eyes from not getting enough rest, but his mental state seemed to be okay.
"Xiao Li, it shouldn't be a problem if you only have a slight fever. I remember the last time you had a high fever of 38 degrees, you cooked and helped the kids with their homework."
Gu Tunan, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Grandpa, Xiaoba hasn't had a good rest these past two days. He needs to rest now."
General Gu said considerately, "Xiao Li, it's okay for you to just make a pot of porridge. Just make one portion for Gu Mian."
Li Songyun stood there in silence for a long time. He suddenly chuckled and said, "Okay."
"Then I'll do it again for Gu Mian."
"One last time."
